I Got You On Tape

2007
1.LyricsDumping the motorheads

We like to sit around and watch the buildings collide
walk the sunny beaches with nothing but a smile
stranger than a teardrop falling from the eye
louder than a shotgun hello and goodbye

Ever too mysterious and sort of in your way
whenever you’ve got something good to say
put it in your pocket, throw it far away
dig it down a hole and tell your friends to take a dive
tell them all of what you did today
dumping the motorheads

We like watching a movie that we don't understand
a little out of key rubber ducks in our hands
we'll run for president when we get the chance
breaking terrifying news while the b boys dance

Two of us are waiting for a car to arrive
some of us are puzzled by the clouds in the sky
ever too mysterious and sort of in your way
when ever you’ve got something good to say
dumping the motorheads

 
2.LyricsYour revolver

Bended backwards like a time machine
sort of lifted to the sky
I get by
I have caught your number
sounds to me like we might make it to the end

With our heavy drinking some might say
we’re a shady couple
bittersweet
sucking on your lip now
watching out for your revolver

My revolution
your silver eye
waving a soft goodbye
crowding the dancefloor
stealing your ride
later in my house we get naked and wild

Wrapped your arms around a golden sun
full of big ambition
surely I am not the only one
with a heart condition
whatever I see
you might turn me over
I have my hopes up high

So much for dreaming
about the man
bend it sideways do it again
hard to believe in
hard to understand
I’m the guy who stole your wife then came to shake your hand

 
3.LyricsBlow

Danger starts when you decide to go back home
terrified from all that you’ve seen
scratching sounds coming from your telephone
fading lights through your tv screen

If you feel what I am feeling I don’t know
what to say or to believe
guess we got it wrong I’m sorry should have known
too slow for you and way too fast for me

Thousand times the weight on your shoulders now
lifted like a jet aeroplane
light like feathers falling down slowly
something keeping you in your game

Powered by the things you dream when you’re asleep
lightening strikes upon your head
the ground starts shaking hard and loud below your feet
while laughter’s coming from beneath your bed

4.LyricsBedbug

So I tell you what to think and say and do
while my words keep growing stronger
just a simple song to say that I love you
that I can’t hold back much longer

Little finger come across a bedbug
chances are I’ve got it on my hand
what I meant to say was not enough
not a part of my plan

 
5.LyricsProphet rock

I’ve been wanting to say the word
but it don’t seem right yet
like a warm locomotive going cold
I’ve been sleeping odd for a while

Where the bushes come in all kind of colors
where i learn to stay awake
I am buzzing like a chainsaw
so I turn to you we talk about the weather
and I guess you feel the same
guess you think you want what I’ve got
million after million through my head and pocket
thousands and thousands it never ends
here is what I do and here is when I profit
buildings collapse and I build them back up again

Like a doctor and an astronaut
would agree with eachother
I can tell by your smile
that you’re ready to take a chance on me

Where I sing a song to say
there’s nothing wrong with me now
I am steady like a track dog
and the women and the children have their heads on backwards
now I think you’ve caught what I’ve got
million after million through my head and pocket
thousands and thousands it never ends
here is what I do and here is when I profit
buildings collapse and I build them back up again

 
6.LyricsGuerilla girl

And that’s all there is to me and you
it’s what comes next when dreams come true
I am not to decide what’s right and wrong
what will be left when I am dead and gone

I miss you more to speak the truth
your government all of my youth
and the rhythm machines just do their best
checking one two this is just a test

Annie
dear Annie
I can tell by looking at you that it can’t be
easy to please me
and I know you want to do your best
for heavens sake
you need the rest

Guerilla girls are hard to find
a lucky pick done by the blind
and for better or worse eternities
has to begin and end it seems to me

The next in line among the few
to do the time, to fight for you
to open parachutes step by step
a rock in the rough caught in my spiderweb

Annie
dear Annie
I can tell by looking at you that it can’t be
easy to please me
and I know you want to do your best
for heavens sake
you need the rest

 
7.LyricsLe Complication

Without speaking my name
you said it loud and clear
voices in a tight spot
come on over here
every single day of the week
will have to do by now
anywhere you want to go is all fine by me

The legend of a pink ferrari
the loss of something dear to you
your reason to be cheerful
your very first day in school
the voices in the back of your head
sailing a diamond sea
grafitti on your bedroom walls and loose cannons going crazy

Is it warm where going?
is there fun to be?
can I come along or do I have to stay at home?
is it cold?
is it snowing?
is there room for me to nevermind
what’s up and down and right or wrong?

I heard you weren’t afraid of the dark nomore
like you used to be
that the monsters hiding our underneath your bed
have gone away for good
that when summer comes around
you have a plan to go out camping
by yourself in the woods
light up a heavy bonfire and wish it all away

Dream you’ve been sleeping
for a thousand years
waking up while breaking down these bits and pieces
man what a morning
I’m up and wide awake
ready to begin all over again

 
8.LyricsConcorde

People and payment
echoes of cool in the air
loveless dragons in everholy matrimony
birds and bees
banging quietly out in the night
on sad memories
to form a dark love movement
to make a dead song disappear
to have cherry red evening babies
screaming loud for more

Stop motion reality
dead ends for me
I am forever tied to the floor
bring all of your troops in for war
think it’s about that time now
sitting right here waiting for you to 

Call me
kamikaze
call me commodore
call me anything you want
call me never ender
call me never more
Concorde

I sing but i cannot see
never asleep
endlessly waking up on the floor
come mother down do the door
sit and cause the tension
i am wound down pushing the envelope for

Kawasaki
closer to the core
reason when and if I want
Concorde
certain never ender
falling never more
Concorde

 
9.LyricsHammertime

Heavy rain coming down on my shoulder
we’ve been waiting for too long
where the sun and the moon collides
coming close together
you’re holding my heart for a while
you’re doing the best that you can
we’re trying to lose ourselves
trying to manage on our own

Hoping everything will change to last
and none of us will stay the way we were
I can see them
coming round the corner in a red limousine
making the boys cry for mercy
and the girls scream
they’re talking changes

There’s a million different reasons
why I shouldn’t be here
holding this key in my hand
with you shouting in my ear
we’re going nowhere
a million reasons why I shouldn’t
bang my head to the wall
hammertime on the curve of a phonecall
so very outthere
so very close to home

Growing big and better there it comes
the definition of what hits your eye
there is noone nearly good as me
at leaving things to chance
another night at a club Rubadub dance
in need of changes

 
10.LyricsSomersault

And I never drank alcohol and I never got high
it was the end of a hundred years that took me by surprise
what I thought to be dangerous, on the verge of a smile
turning out to be nothing more than hiss and overdrive 

And there is nothing or noone more powerful
and the light that shines upon you says the same
when I wake up I’m doing a somersault
for the ones who never dared to speak my name

I am shy and mysterious when I say my goodbyes
when I part with the ones I’ve come to love throughout my life
when the times are miracelous, when I stop to think twice
when I sleep in the bushes next to where the treasure lies

With a devil in the words that you speak to me
when there’s nothing left and we are at the end
in the heavens you laugh at me secretly
where it echoes over and over again

And there is nothing or noone more powerful
and the light that shines upon you says the same
when I wake up I’m doing a somersault
for the ones who never dared to speak my name
