Skinny Dip

I’m told that I look younger
Than I did a few weeks ago
That I’ve changed from someone sombre
To someone next to intolerable
I smile for no good reason
Yeah, I laugh at the stupidest jokes
My friends they tell me to cool it
You’re still recovering from the last Joe
I wanna skinny dip, dip, skip put me in
I want your heart but I know you’re suffering
I wanna skinny dip, dip, skip put me in
I want your love but I know you’re lingering
I want it all, I want it all right now
I want the truth to take your shape right now
I wanna skinny dip, dip, skip throw me in
I want us to fall in love like children
Word to the wiseass
I’ve never felt this way before
So jeer at me if it helps you
I’m sure you’ve never felt such a fool
Yeah, all the shit I stuck through
All of the hope I clung to
Leave me now
I’ve never seen so clearly
Or sounded this damn cheesy
Take me now
I wanna skinny dip, dip, skip put me in
I want your heart but I know you’re suffering
I wanna skinny dip, dip, skip put me in
I want your love but I know you’re lingering
I want it all, I want it all right now
I want the truth to take your shape right now
I wanna skinny dip, dip, skip throw me in
I want us to fall in love like children

Ugly

I’m ugly to look at
I’m ugly to listen to
Dear God, there’s always something awry
The machinery kills me
The days of killing machinery
Are way in perpetual tomorrow
I’ve been trying hard
To let this go
I should be trying harder
’Cause there’s always someone with a smile
That’ll shiv you
And there’s always someone that you trust
That’ll stiff you
And it’s always someone you love
Yeah, it’s always someone you love
And live for
In your arms I die lying
Yeah the truth eludes me lately
Wish I kept it together
And how I wish I had answers
But the only answer I can get is
”Yeah man, maybe tomorrow...”
I’ve been trying hard
To just let this go
I should be trying harder
’Cause there’s always someone with a smile
That’ll shiv you
And there’s always someone that you trust
That’ll stiff you
And it’s always someone you love
Yeah, it’s always someone you love
And live for

So I’m here again
Like an honest man
Working hard all day
Bringing home my pay
But you spent your share
On your friends and hair
You thought I wouldn’t care
Since I’m never there
But it feels like you’re making me go
And it feels like I’m pushed to move on
I just feel like a puppet in your show
When you smile it’s just a kind way of saying no
So now here we are
With our lonely hearts
Under the same stars
Already worlds apart
And it feels like you’re making me go
And it feels like I’m pushed to move on
I just feel like a puppet in your show
When you smile it’s just a kind way of saying no
When you smile it’s just a kind way of saying go

Once in a while I’ll get lost
In the woods where I played as a child
Clear as today I can see
All the places I went in my mind
All my heartache and pain
Were no baggage that day
Fighting for something
Fighting all foul things
I’ve never felt so alive
Like I did when I was a child
Fighting my battles as
Reptile I
Seems like today I can find
All the wars I want to wage in my mind
So message to you, Reptile I
It seems that I’ve run out of time
With this heartache and pain
Who’s got time to explain
Fighting for something
Fighting all foul things
I’ve never felt so alive
Like I did when I was a child
Fighting my battles as
Reptile I
Once in a while I’ll sit down
Pout like a baby and cry
Shed my skins ’til I’m clear
Find my way back to Reptile I
All that heartache and pain
Will just peel away

A Man With No Dance

I’m building a grand wall
To keep all you lovely people in
You can not leave me here
Once the wolves start creeping in
I might build a tower
To see the horizon and beyond
I’m building a fortress of love
But I can’t alone
Ooh
Oh no man no
I’m just a man with no dance
Ooh
Oh no God no
I’m just a boy for romance
I’m just a man
With a real good plan
To save the world
Make it a better place for Man
It’s a simple plan
But all the love it would take
Just drifted some place...
Else
You curse me a dreamer
You curse me a many evil things
But you’re welcome to join us here
’Cause you’re just like me
Ooh
Oh no man no
I’m just a man with no dance
Ooh
Oh no God no
I’m just a boy for romance
Ooh
Oh no man mo
I’m just a man with no dance
I’m just a man
With a real good plan
To save the world
Make it a better place for Man
It’s a simple plan
But all the love it should geow
Just drifted some place...

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland
From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
