Lackluster Me© All lyrics copyright Pål and Lauren Waaktaar-Savoy 1997.
Lackluster me Stands before you What can I be To make you want me
All I have I give to you It's all I need To pull me through
And we will get out while we can Yeah we will walk out across the land We'll let the birds feed from our hands Out of our hands
Lackluster me There I said it. Mmm you could break me Mmm don't you get it now
All I have I give to you All I wrote To get me through
And we will get out while we can We'll pull our heads up from the sand Two movie lovers with a band Yeah, with a band
All I have I give to you All I want You want it too Don't you?
And we will get out while we can Yeah we will walk out across the land We'll let the birds feed from our hands Out of our hands Out of our hands It's out of our hands It's out of our hands Last line to fade
Unsound
You say you fly At times right under me You say you think you know What's wrong with me Well, well mmm
When I don't know what to say I'd rather walk away No point asking me to stay I'd rather walk away
You say that you see Winter wants me empty
When I don't know what to say I'd rather walk away No point asking me to stay I'd rather walk away I'd rather walk away
'Cos I'm Unsafe Unsound Unwise to be around
You say you fly At times right over me You say you think you've got The best of me Well, well mmm
When I don't know what to say I'd rather walk away No point asking me to stay I'd rather walk away I'd rather walk away
'Cos I'm Unsafe Unsound Unwise to be around
Yes I'm Unsafe Unsound Unwise to be around Unwise to be around Unwise to be around Unwise to be around Unwise to be around Yeah
Winter wants me empty Well
You Should've Told Me
In the morning And the air so still Cars are passing By my window sill
Dusty sidewalks, in the afternoon Coastal mountains, I will be there soon
You should have told me Should have told you
I should have told you, that the dam won't hold I should have called you, but the line went cold I should have held you in my arms each night I should've told you when the time was right
Should have told me Should have told you
Seasons will turn Never will I learn Moments will pass I always think they'll last
You should have told me
I should have told you, when I had the chance I should have told you, just the way I planned
Dusty sidewalk in the afternoon, Coastal mountains, I will be there soon. You should have told me
Seasons will turn Never will I learn Moments will pass You always think they'll last
You should have told me Moments will pass Moments will pass
You should have told me I should have told you You should have told me I should have told you You should have told me I should have told you
Foreign Film
Life should be a film One of those foreign films Where people are always talking And you just can't understand But it means a lot
Life should be a book A really, really good book That you take when you travel And hope it never ends And you read again
Life should be a poetry, A pretty, pretty tree Words have their meanings To help you understand And say what you mean
You're giving me a stomach ache When you negotiate You're giving me a stomach ache When you try and set me straight
Life should be a song One of those sixties songs With lots of catchy phrases That everybody knows So you can sing along
Life should be a poetry A pretty, pretty tree Words have their meanings To help you understand And say what you mean
You're giving me a stomach ache When you negotiate You're giving me a stomach ache When you try and set me straight
You're giving me a stomach ache When you negotiate And when you set me straight You're giving me a stomach ache
Life should be a tree A poetry [authors note this could also be:- A poet tree Lauren being too damn clever for her own good The album sleeve says:- A poetry tree :) ]
Flowers For Sylvia
Here I am going to take the wimp's option and say: "work it out, I had to" ;)
I Still Cry
Now the leaves have turned and blown away Everything is washed in shades of grey Ask me how I know that I'm alive
Well, I still cry, oh yeah Well, I still cry, oh yeah But I don't know why
Now the leaves have turned and blown away Everything is washed in shades of grey Ask me how I know that I'll survive
Well, I still cry, oh yeah I still cry, oh yeah I still cry, oh yeah I still cry, oh yeah But I don't know why
The pain, when it goes away It's almost worth it just to feel it fade away Ask me how I know that I'm alive
Well, I still cry, oh yeah Well, I still cry, oh yeah Well, I still cry, oh yeah Well, I still cry, oh yeah But I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why Don't know why Don't know why I don't know why I don't know why Don't know why
Sycamore Leaves
Can't stop thinking 'bout it It fills me with unease Out there by the roadside Someone's lying Covered by sycamore leaves Hey hey
Wet grounds, late September ... The foliage of the trees I came upon this feeling that Someones's buried Under sycamore leaves Hey hey
And I could never face it And I could never see And I could never break out And shake its grip on me
And I could never face it And I could never see And I could never break out And shake it's grip on me
Wet grounds, late September ... The foliage of the trees I came upon this feeling That someone's lying Covered by sycamore leaves Covered by sycamore leaves Out there by the roadside Under Sycamore leaves Sycamore leaves Sycamore leaves Sycamore leaves Sycamore leaves
Rain
Rain ... rain ... comes down Empty streets And I'm falling Through the trees And they're calling Out for rain ... rain
Rain ... and it's plain to see Rain ... what it does to me
Yeah, rain ... rain ... falls down Endlessly, here I'm falling Through the trees And they're calling out For rain ... Rain
Rain ... what is rain Rain ... is rain Rain ... is god's own lydocaine Rain ... is good That's understood Rain ... Oh yeah Rain ... and it's plain to see Rain ... what it does to me
Yeah rain ... rain falls down Endlessly, here I'm falling Through the trees And they're calling Out for rain ... rain ... rain ... rain ... rain ... rain ... rain ... rain ...
Butt Out
I know what's good for me, yes I do I know what's best for me, yes I do I know what's right for me, yes I do Butt out
I can be by myself, yes I can I can do what I want, you know I can I can do things myself, I have two hands Butt out
You, only listen to you, don't care what the others say ... anyway
You're talking all the time please go away You just like hearing all the things you say You just can't stop until you get your way Butt out
You tell me what to think and what to wear You tell me how to dress and do my hair You tell me all the things that I should do Does that include the hope of leaving you Butt out
You, only listen to you don't care what the others say ... anyway You, only listen to you don't care what the others say ... anyway
I can be by myself, yes I can I can begin again, you know I can I can move in with friends, yes I can Butt out
I know what's best for me, yes I do I know what's right for me, you know I do I know what's good for me, yes I do Butt out
This, That And The Other
Nobody feels right But everyone's all right, yeah Everything's sadder But what does it matter, yeah
Tell me, tell me, tell me This, that and the other
There's nothing around us Left to astound us, yeah Everyone's younger I can't do that any longer, no
Tell me, tell me, tell me This, that and the other {You live an impossible dream You think that you know what it means} Yeah, tell me, tell me {You think that you know what it means You know that it's not what it seems} Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me This, that and the other
All of the worry Get old in a hurry All of the sadness I know all the signs All your compassion I've seen how you ration it out Why?
Tell me, tell me, tell me This, that and the other {You live an impossible dream You think that you know what it means} Tell me, tell me, tell me This, that and the other {You think that you know what it means You know that it's not what it seems} Tell me, tell me {You live an impossible dream You think that you know what it means} Tell me, tell me {You think that you know what it means You know that it's not what it seems} Repeat last 6 lines to fade
Hey Luchie
Hey Luchie Your day will come soon Hey Luchie Your talents in bloom
Say can you see How good it will be If you want me I'll never go far Hey Luchie The way that you are
Say can you see How good it will be Bad things ain't gonna happen twice now I wouldn't tell you lies
Sad things ain't gonna happen twice Let nobody tell you otherwise
Hey Luchie You'll make out allright Hey Luchie Your star shining bright Say can you see How good it will be
Easy
I'll take you down, down And then you'll be with me Here, where things are not so easy
I've been trying all day long To get it right, it comes out wrong Then you go, and make it easy
It's not so bad, I tell myself Don't try too hard, things could go wrong
Do you really have to work We could take the away And I'll try and make it easy
We could go out for a drive Though I'd rather stay inside And you know we'll take it easy
Don't say too much, Don't speak at all It's not so bad, I tell myself
I'll take you down, down And then you'll be with me. Here where things are not so easy
If You Tell
If you tell your momma She will look away If you tell your daddy He won't listen when you say
Ah, how could it come to this But now, this is The way it is
If you tell your brother Boy will he get mad If you tell your sister The one you never had
Ah, how could it go this far But now, this is The way things are Yeah Come on
Ah, how could it go this far And now, this is The way things are
If you tell your teacher You'll be made aware If you tell your preacher You haven't got a prayer
Ah, how could it come to this And now, this is The way it is
If you tell your momma Laying it on the line Tell it to your daddy Life has been unkind Oh yeah Mmm If you tell your momma Laying it on the line Tell it to your daddy Life has been unkind If you tell your momma If you tell your momma If you tell your momma
