heart breaks into a song
the only one it knows
but no one sings along
they just stare
heart breaks into a song
and everybody stops
where does that sound come from
it's an awkward show
but I'm no ventriloquist
what the hell is going on
heart breaks into a song
the only one it knows
but no one sings along
are they just scared
when my heart breaks into a song
heart breaks into a song
an organ-grinding song
the voice is shrill yet so strong
something unheard of
hey cardiologist
tell me what is wrong
heart...
POPSICLE SUMMER
here it comes
pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
ooh I'm longing for another popsicle
cos Finnish summer is so fickle
every spring at least will bring some new tastes
all of which are not that great
but there might be new candidates for
pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
life has just began
and we discover that we're always young
when days are spent in such idle ways
we'd go so far for just a popsicle
cos it's time for pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
hats off to Frank Epperson who was just eleven
when he bumped into his invention
a frozen drink combined with a...
we open our eyes
as the dark day dawns
nature spills savage blood
wastes away its pawns
feral children
tending the flames
soon the fire will rise
and chaos shall reign
chaos shall reign
it was here first and will die last
chaos shall reign
glories of the fearsome past
there are forces within
and forces beneath
the surface seems calm
or so you'd think
seeds of destruction
the ruins have no names
black kiss of evilization
chaos shall reign
chaos shall reign
it waits in the deep for you and me
chaos shall reign
bow your head for sacred entropy
chaos shall reign
hail chaos hail
we are...
a star in the darkness
light years from home
how long ago
was it when I was breathing
in a different way
than the rest of the human race
into the night
floating in my sleep
into the night
a nightmare of gravity
the weight of my body wakes me
all the lights in the distance
keep glimmering on
reminding me of
the limits of my existence
I am stuck here
lost in a lonely sphere
into the night
throughout the starry skies
into the night
I want to rise
infinite night never closes its eyes
oh Urania you break my heart
beauty at large thrown into the stars
oh Urania you break my heart
oh Urania...
BREAK THE NEWS GENTLY
oh baby, break the news gently
but don't break me
don't want to cry again in front of them
she asked me if I'd go with you (I said "cool")
he asked you if you'd go with me (you said "mmmm")
at that lunch break I almost swooned
but now it's come to this
oh baby, break the news gently
but don't break me
don't want to cry again in front of them
oh baby, break the news gently
don't ruin the night for me
I already know but I won't let it show
they were playing our favourite song (forever young)
and soda pop in my glass was warm (afri-cola)
round and round the school gym...
I'm waiting for you outside the window
of an old grey house at the edge of the world
where the sea will rage if you step out the door
so you keep it shut tight and just climb the walls
leave it all again
leave it all again
step right out into thin air
and leave it all again
leave it all again
leave it all again
something new waits for you there
leave it all again
if you close your eyes you'll feel the wind at your heels
slowly rising fresh cool breeze
that drifts into your house with whispers so sweet
"leave it all again, leave...
newest hottest whatever
newest hottest whatever
keep your act together
newest hottest coolest whatever
it all goes round
so hard to keep track
who's in who's out
either you are new blood
or you're losing ground
the novelty wears out
and it all feels fine
until you hit the ground
it all goes round
but everything is new just once
and we are history
if we can't make it
newest hottest whatever
newest hottest whatever
no prize for good endeavour
newest hottest coolest whatever
it all goes round
so hard to...
SUMMER SHENANIGANS
the word is out on the streets
fresh paint drips on concrete
kids gone crazy in the heat
you bet they're up to mischief
summer shenanigans
smells like someone's cooking up some bad ass plans
summer shenanigans
idle dirty hands and ants in the pants
happy summer mondays beat the winter weekends
gotta go wild before the summer ends
summer! (it's about time it's about time it's about)
summer shenanigans!
summer shenanigans
woke up buried neck deep in the sand
summer shenanigans
beware the guy with the jazz hands
summer shenanigans!
summer shenanigans!
summer! (it's...
gone, my love
if it ever was
worthy of calling such
I'm still holding onto a memory
for I fear it's all that I got
I'll wait in my bed
she'll soon be here
she'll come like she said
I'm so saddened
yet hopeful
come, my love
as I know you must
come and take me away
you might get this far if the sky is clear
straying from your star to here
I'll wait in my bed
she'll soon be here
she'll come like she said she would
I'm so saddened
yet hopeful
soon, soon
if it will ever happen
if it will ever happen
it will be today
soon, soon
if it will ever happen
if it will ever happen
it will be today
soon
THE LONERS
hey, now they ride
like loners do
into the sunset
and all night through
but in the morning
they fall asleep
dreaming of the ones
they'll never meet
and they ride on
like loners do
out of the picture
and into the blue
but in the evening
they fall in love
when for an instant
they drop their guard
and nothing can make them feel so alone
not drifting away from the world
not keeping their heart locked so long
and not hearing somewhere
the saddest song
nothing can make them feel so alone
as when they fall in love
like loners do
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
the old Santa has gone AWOL
his endless shopping mall tours have taken their toll
and Christmas is getting close
oh Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
and Christmas Eve arrives
you descend from the sky
in your homemade spaceship
amidst the snow confetti
wearing your shiny grey suit
with your loyal crew
of orange elves and furry friends
and Michael, Steven and Kliph
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
you give us a sense of wonder
when we're feeling buried under mundane chores
shake our little snow globe world
oh Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
it's the most...
the world covered in snow sighs in its sleep
all colours have gone and hide in defeat
we wait surrounded by white with our lives on hold
snowploughs serenade outside the window
just don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
and cover you with a beautiful shroud
you'll fade to white
white is the wind that rips through the bones
how lucky we are in the warmth of our homes
just don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
and cover you with a beautiful shroud
you'll fade to white
fade to white
lost in the...
GOODBYE VIOLA
goodbye Viola
you've had your time
now you must step aside
so throw the last song into the night
and watch it flicker for a while
all of those old songs
will they have a chance
out there in the cold world
if no one will watch their backs
good luck to all them little brats
goodbye Viola
at least for now
come visit us sometime
if you don't get buried so deep in the ground
that you'll never find your way out
you're almost done now
fading out of view
across the ocean
or maybe replaced by something new
it's time to bid you adieu
so goodbye Viola
until the next time
goodbye...
the sweetest reveries
are dreamed in the softest seats
of life's waiting room
where they'll never call for you, no
maybe you're dreaming
and you've never been awake
it is deceiving
so just close your eyes
and breathe your dreams in
like you never did before
maybe your dreaming just begins
the deepest mysteries
are solved when you are asleep
a dream is another life
and you have plenty more to find, oh
maybe you're dreaming
and you've never been awake
it is deceiving
so just close your eyes
and breathe your dreams in
like you never did before
maybe your dreaming just begins
turn the...
NEON LIGHTNING
the night sky is in need of neon lightning
hey, something's on it's way
yeah, it's in the air
wow, can you feel it now
cool, just let it loose
neon lightning
shining, striking
we're dancing under
disco thunder
"2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
things aren't what they used to be
the world is a strange and fragile place
we're not who we used to be
our dreams they have no end

2010s, maybe the world won't end
