Hurry

Hurry, don’t take so long to call
I’m worried I can’t do this on my own
And I’m laughing, how much I need you now
When I’m crashing and my luck won’t turn around
Those demon eyes are closing in, yeah
And I am done with holding it in, yeah
All the love and all the sorrow that I feel
It’s just like my mama told me, but now it’s real
Help me, I’m feeling two feet tall
And I’m trembling like I never did before
Ah curse this, the only way is through
But what’s worse is, it doesn’t end here for you
Those demon eyes are closing in, yeah
And I am done with holding it in, yeah
All the love and all the sorrow that I feel
It’s just like my mama told me, but now it’s real
Don’t worry about the hurt you’ll cause tonight
Don’t hurry about the word that wrecks a life
Don’t worry about the hurt
Don’t worry about it
All the love and all the sorrow that I feel
It’s just like my mama told me, but now it’s real
Don’t worry about the hurt you’ll cause tonight
Don’t hurry about the word that wrecks a life
Don’t take so long to call
I’m worried I can’t do this on my own
So please hurry

Stuck With A Rhyme
03:16
|
|||
|
Stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck with a rhyme
Want to but I can not seem to combine it
With anything of might
I want to stick, stick, stick, stick to a plan
But to conjure up a working one takes a better man
Than most self-help software tells me I am
Shush, shush, shush, shush it to death
Keep ideas from leaving my head
Collect all my thoughts and put them back to bed
But then I turn to face a world
It crossed my mind tonight
It’s pencil to paper time
All of this, all of this leaves
If I get to, I get to be
Take, take, take all that you can
I may not be around to blow up this scam
I wish I had clarity but I’m damned
Stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck with it all
Want to but I can not seem to recall what I want
Or what I’m here for
And so I turn to face the world
It crossed my mind tonight
It’s pencil to paper time
All of this, all of this leaves
If I get to, I get to be
Stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck with a rhyme
Want to but I can not seem to combine
Stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck with a rhyme
Want to but I can not seem to combine it ahead
You crossed my mind tonight
Now it’s pencil to paper time
All of this, all of this leaves
If I get to, I get to be
Someone
Someone
Someone

The Fairytale Waltz
04:12
|
|||
|
I bask in words of gloom
I love the fact we’re all doomed
So while you stand there sniggering
Beware of the wrath you’re triggering
But that snigger turns into a smile
And you won’t step aside
All of my black days suddenly burst into light ’fore my eyes
It’s like a childrens book where everything is neat and alright
I hate a fairytale as much as anyone might
But it’s time for me to die
The hell am I to do with you girl?
Where’s the catch in changing my world?
Bag up your love and leave me rotting here
I won’t be no punchline in a romantic comedy
Am I sure I don’t want to go?
Well girl, I’m fucked if I know
All of my black days suddenly burst into light ’fore my eyes
It’s like a childrens book where everything is neat and alright
I hate a fairytale as much as anyone might
But it’s time for me to die
All of my black days suddenly burst into light ’fore my eyes
It’s like a childrens book where everything is so neat and so right
I hate a fairytale as much as anyone might
But it’s time for me to die
Yeah it’s time for me to die
Tonight I must die

Beggar Princess
03:33

Hey to you my darling
Have you looked into a mirror lately
’Cause I’ve been seeing things
You’ve grown up so much
I can’t see the end of you
You’re head in the clouds and your toes dug in the sand
I want to steal this
From you, my beggar princess
And yes, it’s just a moment
Of truth with you and me in it
Hey to you my darling
I’ve woken up to a morning sun
That draws a halo ’round your head
Innocence I’ve mocked
I’ve laughed in scorn
But now a look at you is like a slap in my old face
I want to steal this
From you, my beggar princess
And yes, it’s just a moment
Of truth with you and me in it
So why should we die?
So why should we die?
We’re special, you and I
We got this far
To fall apart
Oh, but no
Hey to you my darling
Have you seen me lately
Ready for tomorrow, with a light in my eyes
I want to feel this
Like you do my beggar princess
And yes, it’s just a moment
Of truth with you and me in it
So why should we die?
So why should we die?
We’re special, you and I

The Undertaker
05:49
|

|
A winding path to the lake
Beneath the trees of my grave
A gentle rain soakes me whole
At least I’m not here on my own
The lake it shimmers through the trees
And sees me
So the undertaker smiles
Curse the love he found in time
’Cause what I’m gonna say
And what I’m gonna do
Will hurt you
I’ve dug another ditch
I’ve dug another grave
To fall into
The lake lay silent and still
Just as you and I will
The house guards the water’s edge
Silent fulfilling its pledge
The walls they weep from the rain
Rotten
So the undertaker smiles
Curse the love he found in time
’Cause what I’m gonna say
And what I’m gonna do
Will hurt you
I’ve dug another ditch
I’ve dug another grave
To fall into
No one can burn this house down
No one can burn this ancient ground
The water is your mirror here
No fear
So the undertaker smiles
Curse the love he found in time
’Cause what I’m gonna say
And what I’m gonna do
Will hurt you
I’ve dug another ditch
I’ve dug another grave
To fall into

A Song For The Hills
05:31
|

A song for the hills
Caught my ear and it gave me chills
A love so divine
Blossomed in this heart of mine
No time like the now
Whispered my love but I shot her down
In the veil I’ll remain
Never see the horizon change
And should I die of a, a broken mind
Don’t let me leave before you’ve sung it to me
Ooh-na-na-na, ooh-na-na-na
Rest here tonight
Ooh-na-na-na, ooh-na-na-na
With the hills in sight
A song for the hills
Caught my ear after all these years
My love I’m tired
But I will rise to this one last cry
And should I die of a, a broken mind
Don’t let me leave before you’ve sung it to me
Ooh-na-na-na, ooh-na-na-na
Rest here tonight
Ooh-na-na-na, ooh-na-na-na
With the hills in sight
A song for the hills
Caught my ear and it gave me chills
My love I’m tired
But I will rise to this one last cry
And should I die of a, a broken mind
Don’t let me leave before you’ve sung it to me
Ooh-na-na-na, ooh-na-na-na
Rest here tonight
Ooh-na-na-na, ooh-na-na-na
With the hills in sight
A song for the hills
Caught my ear and it gave me chills

Skinny Dip
04:30
|
|||
|
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
03:42
|

|
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

Simple answers, where can I subscribe?
I’ve been laying down so long I’ve died
At least in your mind
I tower above you my little friend
I’m a giant in your world and you want me dead
Hmmm…cold clear night
Hmmm…winter is nigh
Way up in the mountains I came across
A man covered in nothing but some moss
He said he was boss
I tower above you my little friend
I’m a giant in your world and you want me dead
Hmmm…cold clear night
Hmmm…winter is nigh
At your tables love
I can’t keep losing
Though King Darwin’s dead
He’s still choosing
Without my baby girl
There’s nothing that I would not do
So I killed you tonight
Clawed your face and lit a fire
Only when nature calls for blood
Will you wonder if it’s been enough
For the dead I sing
For my next of kin
For a baby born
Into a world forlorn
For the dead I sing
For my next of kin
For a baby born
Into a world forlorn

Homesick
03:57

Cold is the night again
Of this desert state that I’m in
The warmth in my bones has gone
And left me with one final thought
The flicker of TV screens
The neon lights in the streets
The way we’re all happy here
Far away from what’s dear
And I feel homesick again
And I feel homesick again
My footsteps they echo out
Through the empty streets of this town
I thought I heard someone speak
But there’s no one ’xcept the rain in these streets
And I feel homesick again
And I feel homesick again
Can you be my way out of here?
This town is built on dead-ends alone
Can you be my diversion?
Lift me and dry these eyes
Don’t let loose of me
Dry these eyes
Cold is the night again
Of this desert state that I’m in
The warmth in my bones has gone
And left me with one final thought

I never thought I’d crash and burn
I make nice to a point of no return
Expectations fly so high
I drown inside
Automated sycophant
An enduring elephant
I raise smiles, never questions
Like am I jesting?
It’s a life on the lines
It’s a life in the service
The service of others
It’s a life on the lines
It’s a life in the service
The service of others like you my dear
The computations in my head
Tell me when and how to care
You think it’s love but it’s a system
Just listen
One plus one is always three
It can not work without the me
Soon as it’s fixed I’ll go on home
One plus one alone
It’s a life on the lines
It’s a life in the service
The service of others
It’s a life on the lines
It’s a life in the service
The service of others like you my dear
My head cracks open and your ”love” flows in
You crack a smile and pat me gently on the head
Good night sleep tight while I lay waste to your mind
Admit it to me boy you never wanted life
It’s a life on the lines
It’s a life in the service
The service of others
It’s a life on the lines
It’s a life in the service
The service of others like you my dear

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
