TEKSTEN LOVE BABY LOVE DON'T GO INSIDE MY GIRL FUN FUN FUN SO HAPPY KING LONG BLACK LEATHER COAT I WISH LOVE IRON / CAN YOU HEAR IT SANTA (PLEASE BRING ME A GUN) THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ECHOES SORRY FLOATING Love Baby Love Well, she was just fourteen and he was thirteen and a half She was the prettiest thing he had ever seen in his whole life "Hey hello", he said, "my name is Josh and I love you" She says, "well, that's too bad, you see I don't date boys like you, you're just thirteen" "And a half", he said trying to look mean Oh, love baby love, it can tear you up You can run away, but you can never get enough Love baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love He is thirthy-two, hasn't touched a woman in his life He's got a brand new suit and tonight will be the night Fifty bucks he saved last week, hidden in his socks As he walks the streets until he finds a girl who looks just like Marie Back in Omaha when he had the chance, but fell asleep Oh, love baby love, well it can tear you up You can run away, but you can never get enough Love baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love He is fourty-four, he's got a wife, three kids and a dog A very, very, very fine house and some friends he kinda loves Yesterday, he met this boy in the park Guess he always knew, now he knows, not what to do Oh, love baby love, well it can tear you up You can run away, but you can never get enough Love baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love Baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love Baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love DON'T GO You look in her eyes to see if there is something to hide You're trying to find a reason, an answer, a lie You hate to admit but you know that it's true There is nothing to look for at all She touches your hair like a mother would do And picks up the phone to make a few calls so you You ask her once more and she says it's been said and that's all You stare at the floor, watching the curtain fall She says it's not you and it's nothing you said But that some things just seem to change You look in her eyes and it scares you to death To think that one day you might just feel the same And that all this was just a mistake Oh, please don't go, don't go, don't go, just go Just go Please don't go, don't go, don't go Just go, just go And close the door so the cat won't get out INSIDE I hadn't noticed the silence until I suddenly heard myself talking And I quickly shut up, embaressed as I was about the fact that there was no one there At the same time frightened their might be Knowing perfectly well this would be virtually impossible you see No one ever gets in here, just as I never get out It's better that way, it's better for anyone who's concerned Every once in a while though I sneak out and I walk to the other side of the street where I just stand for an hour or so Watching the lights coming from my window This reminds me of how lucky I am to have a home I like to be inside, it's just gives you a better view of people, things and stuff you know MY GIRL I like your blouse, you like my shoes, small talk fills the air I try to find a dumb excuse, just to touch your hair You tell me about your boyfriend and how he treats you really nice But memories cover my ears and I don't hear a word you say Has it really been a year, it seems like yesterday And to me, you're still my girl, to me you're still my girl What can we do, but laugh about the way things ended up We sit and watch the sun go down, drink wine out off paper cups And of course we both agree no matter what, we'll still be friends But how come it feels really strange when you suddenly touch my hand I watch our shadow slowly fade, don't want the day to end To me, you're still my girl, to me you're still my girl We're walking home, discussing life and all our new found friends The future never seemed so bright and I want to but I can't Stop thinking about the times when nothing mattered much at all But it's getting late, it's getting cold and I let you have my coat And hide around the corner, watch you walking down the road There goes my girl, there goes my girl FUN FUN FUN Fun fun fun, fun fun, all that fun And nothing much to do but watching you get undressed Fun fun fun, fun fun, and the sun is shining like it has for the past couple of months Fun fun fun, fun fun, what has gone wrong Don't know who is to blame, it's just a game, and I think we lost, and I think we lost SO HAPPY Well friday night and I am not so, so hard to find Too much to drink and too much on my mind Then you walk in with all your fancy friends And I just can't stop staring, oh there is no harm ment You walk up to the bar and you order some, some strange coloured drink And I, I don't know where to look and I just don't know what to think But I can see you now pouring the afternoon tea With one in the oven and one on your knee You know that we could have been, we could have been, we could have been So happy, so happy Now you're stuck in your world and I'm, I'm pretty stuck in mine And I don't think that one of us is gonna cross that line So there'll be no wedding and you'll never be mine And I'll just sit here staring at you until closing time But you know that We could have been, we could have been, we could have been So happy, so happy KING I know you got your troubles, baby I got mine Been making this clear oh so many times And if I could believe all the things I said I'd be my own best friend, king in my own head King in my head, king in my head I thought this would be easy thought of you all day Thought of all the things that I would never say Anyway, it's been the real first sunny day today Hey, and isn't it funny how all the sounds comin' from the street suddenly seem to change Any even the little voices in my head make it clear, it's been another year LONG BLACK LEATHER COAT She's got a nineteen year old smile and an eternal look in her eyes That makes you wanna look away Just to find you've come full circle and there's no escape Happiness is wearing a long black leather coat these days Just as our eyes meet some spirit of Christmas' past offers Me a drink and a reminder of who I used to be I'll have an oscar for the evening and a headache in the morning, when I leave her With a lie on my lips, trying to find the one on my mind And I lay my head to rest on a pillow, with your name Happiness is wearing a long black leather coat these days Now if this is all I ever wanted than I guess all is nothing, nothing is me Dead end street and endless conversations and I'm falling asleep And I lay my head to rest on a pillow, with your name Happiness is wearing a long black leather coat these days I WISH Now I wish I had a tv-set built in my eyes And everytime you would make me cry I'd know I could just watch another show And I wish I had a cd-player in my ears And I'd listen to the music I'd like to hear And I'd go see every band with a remote control in my hand And I wish birds were fish And I wish I had a four-wheel drive in my heels Everytime I would start to feel the tension grow I could just get of the road And I wish I had a central heating system in my head And I wish I was someone's dead, at least I'd know someone loved me a long time ago And I wish birds were fish And I wish I had you back in my life But it would all turn into another lie Baby I got news, baby I got loose And I wish birds were fish And I wish, a date with Lilian Gish LOVE I believe that it is a normal reaction for a man to love This love can be given to a dog, a kitten, another man or female I believe that it is a normal reaction for a man to love I believe that it is a normal reaction for a man to love The love that formerly dared not speak its name today will not shut up IRON / CAN YOU HEAR IT You know, I really love doing my dishes in the morning When the sunlight reflects you're whole lifestory in the water Then you drop a glass and you're whole life goes; splash, splash Now Mr Bear and Mr Goose, and all you're little friends you use to see in the clouds They all come down to say hello in the phoam And if you listen well, this is what they shout Do what you wanna do, say what you got to say I think I close my ears for now you see, time passes slowly today Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can but I don't wanna know it Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can but I don't wanna show it Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can see it but I'm half blind Now it's that time in the morning when you put on your first record It's got to be something really smooth and easy going Something by the Spoon, and it's me and you And rain on the roof all over Do what you wanna do, say what you got to say I think I close my ears for now you see, time passes slowly today Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can but I don't wanna know it Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can but I don't wanna show it Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can see it but I'm half blind (what a day for a daydream, what a day for a daydreaming boy) Then you pick up the phone and you ask all your friends to come over to your place, bring all their instruments and just jam a little Do what you wanna do, say what you got to say I think I close my ears for now you see, time passes slowly today Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can but I don't wanna know it Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can but I don't wanna show it Can you hear it, can you see it Yeah I can see it but I'm half blind SANTA (PLEASE BRING ME A GUN) My daddy is gone now, for 2 years or more It's gonna be another 3 or 4 But mamma she tries to give me a good life She brings home new daddy's every night My brother Johnny, he is this real cool guy Sits in his room and stares at the sky He says he loves me, and something about a high He says he's sorry, he sold my bike Santa, they tell me life can be fun Santa, oh Santa please bring me a gun Well it's christmas eve and like every year Uncle Joe droppes by, wearing a dirty white beard He says he's Santa, I know it's not true He does things to me, no Santa would do Santa, they tell me life can be fun Santa, oh Santa please bring me a gun THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS It was the night before christmas, and all we're drunk Mark had just made some stupid remark about his wife's new dress, who had then left leaving just John, Mark and me watching James Steward getting his life back There supposed to be a real good party on tonight Where ? I don't know, it says on the flyer So, where is the flyer It's on the table Nobody got up I wouldn't mind getting my life back I thought As I opened up a bottle of wine Mark opened his mouth, but all I could here was this funny melody He, you're gonna drink that all by yourself ? I opened up the wine, and poured the glasses So, we're gonna go? Go where ? To the party So, who's playing ? I don't know, it says on the flyer I got up and I noticed it had started to snow And there it was again, much clearer this time I found out later it was probably just John's neighbour trying his new stereo Still it was a good melody We didn't made it to the party ECHOES SORRY FLOATING
