she waved at me from the deck
the wind blew her hair around her neck
a dozen white birds drew circles in the air
the ocean roared and i was there

i felt the blood in my muscles
and my pockets full of knuckles
and as i didn't wave back
steel bent and wood cracked

yodleedee-ee, yodleedee-oh
will you let me see those eyes again
yodleedee-ee, dee-oh
all my words for your name

back with the fools and the cowards
- the sun had been gone for hours -
i stuttered, thinking out loud
turned to the moon and howled

oh give me the day and its light
save me from the shadows of the night
i want love, and i want it from you
and i do want the wanting too

oh i have no will
and i have no goal
our castle on the hill
is just a shit hole
and all i used to care for
seems pointless and dull
i'm a mouse in a hardware store
in Kingston-upon-Hull

you're my intuition, my guidance
my ammunition, my science
i never miss the water, i just never do
the only thing i ever miss is you

life is all loops and dots
it never starts, it never ends
you're gonna bump into old thoughts
and long-forgotten friends

oh, and Hull has a bar
and Hull has a square
but it's not where you are
so it's like there's nothing there

i'm gonna give my liver
a reason to be
i'm gonna walk to the river
i'm gonna walk to the sea

and you will never know
or even feel in your heart
to what ends i go
each time that we're apart

Don't Drown Your Sorrows In Beer

don't drown your sorrows in beer
don't drown your sorrows in wine
i have whiskey in my pocket, right here
come and drown your sorrows in mine

i'm a stranger in this town
but i know it by heart because i've been around
here's the main drag, there's the city hall
and people walking back to their cars around the mall

i hardly know you
but i think i'll do
i have ears to hear and eyes to see

the street is by far
my favorite bar
we'll sit on the curb by the helicopter tree

there's a time for staying home, & a time for going out
there's a popular sport that i don't wanna know about
the local stew is out of this world
the girls have long hair and the ladies feed the birds

the law are a bit rude
but the weather is quite good
when the sun is high and it's not raining

you seem a bit confused
but i'm easily amused
you have a story of your own and it's amazing

All That You Wanted To Be

don't talk, don't answer me
just show your hands to me
i know you, and i know your kind
you're an idiot, a child
will you ever be
all that you wanted to be
i don't know, cause the lines aren't too clear
and things have changed since you were here

the spice is not in your blood yet
when it is, it'll make you sweat
and with your sweat and your tears
you will lose your fears
will you live to see
all that you wanted to see
i don't know, cause the cards aren't too clear
and things have changed since you were here

you are only
the one that you wanted to be
you are already
all that you wanted to be
but will you ever find
some kind of peace of mind
well, i don't know, cause the signs aren't too clear
and things have changed since you were here

It Could Have Been You

it could have been you
i would have made you coffee in the morning
it could have been you
i would have held your body at night
it could have been you
we would have kept the world from turning

we let each other go
but i'd like you to know
it could have been you
ooh, it could have been you

it could have been you
i would have coped with your childhood friends
it could have been you
i would have tried with all my might
it could have been you
i would have blown warm air on your hands

we let each other go
but i'd like you to know
it could have been you
ooh, it could have been you

i would have cooked you dinner, and taken you out
i would have sent all your worries up the spout
i would have stood outside the toilets while you barfed
i would've looked all over the bar 4 your gloves & scarf

it could have been you
you wouldn't even have had that thing with chucky
it could have been you
and it would have felt just right
it could have been you
but someone else got lucky
we let each other go
but i'd like you to know
it could have been you
ooh, it could have been you

It's Ok If You Miss Me

it's ok if you miss me
and it's ok if i can't live without you
and it's ok even if you dis me
eventually i'll stop raving about you

it's not even gonna be that bad
if we decide to talk a bit
whatever it was we had
we just lost it

i would never want to see
what these walls have been through
between you and me
it is not about you

but why would you hide and stall
why wouldn't you be gone
say « we're friends, after all
all right, now, let's move on »

it's strange, it's funny you see
if you still love me too
between you and me
i know that you do  

In My Wildest Dreams

when i'm lying in my hotel bed
crazy thoughts come to my head
i live a lifetime in a minute
the ceiling is the limit
the stars fall back in place

in my wildest dreams
it's sunny, a lot of the time
in my wildest dreams
there's also rain, and it sounds fine
in my wildest dreams
i spend all my nights with a swell girl
in my wildest dreams
every morning i awaken next to her

in my wildest dreams
i follow my path, and life is simple
in my wildest dreams
i tend to eat a lot, and drink a little
in my wildest dreams
the Martians land on a Martian moon
in my wildest dreams
the Electricians know what they're doin'

in my wildest dreams
wherever i go, i will find a guitar
in my wildest dreams
most people stay right where they are
in my wildest dreams
i'm standing right in front of you
in my wildest dreams
i'm sipping on a beer, and you have a drink too

I'll Be Where You Can Find Me

oh dorothy, you know that i love you
how do you want me to say it to you
i love you, darling, i say i do
now do you need me to shout it too

i'll buy you a cadillac car
i'll get you half a pint from the bar
i'll buy you a diamond ring
just let me know if you want anything
i'm crazy, you know i am
i read the poems of Khayyam
i'm simply mad about you
i'm cracking like an old statue

in the misty gardens of the royal palace
look, it's me, bacchus, with the chalice
i'm wearin' a crown of pigeon shit
and undergarments that don't fit
and when a passer-by walks by
i give him the eye
and when i see a tired man in a sweat suit
i give him my foot

some are walking, but where to?
i guess they wouldn't go if they knew
some are running, what from?
they can run till kingdom come
don't get me wrong, i think that motion is OK
i just like to make sense, i'm funny that way
it makes me stick to my positions, which reminds me:
i'll always be where you can find me

You Want To Be What You Are Not

you want to be what you are not
you wanna be cool when it's hot
you want to be what you are not
think you ought to give it a shot
you want to be what you are not
cause when it hurts, it hurts a lot
you try your best to be what you are not
but it's harder than you thought

we, the people, should know better
we, the people, act strange
do you want to be king of the world
or do you want to make a change
do you want to be a famous actor
or do you want to play the part
do you want to be your lover's partner
or do you want to give them your heart

and all those citizens that you've seen
on the electronic superhighway
seem to vanish like your latest dream
in the mighty light of day
if you wanna jump from platform to platform
with a laser gun in your hand
it'll take you more than coffee and aspirin
to look into the eyes of a man

the new thing is not stealing or deceiving
the new thing is not even hiding it
but in the distance i still hear
the echo of a voice with a smile in it
it's not who you are, it's not even who you know
it's just who you're sold as
but it's crazy, it's magic, it makes me love the world
what just a little bit of soul does

Surrender I Will

as sure as the moon will set
and the sun will rise
truth will lose its bet
and yield to lies
one day this dream
will come to its rightful end
torn at the seam
and dangling from my hand

surrender, i, surrender, i,
surrender, i, surrender, i will

our unmade bed
the demureness of your smile
the murmur of the dead
the rain outside
that, i won't forget
as i close my eyes
as sure as the sun will set
and the moon will rise

surrender, i, surrender, i,
surrender, i, surrender,... i will
