If you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready to get confused

there's definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so irresistible

there is no map
to human behaviour

they're terribly moody
then all of a sudden turn happy
but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions is ever so satisfying

there's no map and
a compass
wouldn't help at all

human behaviour

. . .


i travel
all around the city
go in and out of
locomotives
all alone

there's no-one here
and people everywhere

crying 'cause i need you
crying i can feel you
crying 'cause i need you
crying cause i care

it's a hot day
and i'm dressed lightly
i move carfully
trough the crowd
here everyone
is so vulnerable
and i'm as well

there's no-one here
and people everywhere

crying 'cause i need you
crying i can feel you
crying 'cause i need you
crying cause i care

only if a ship would sail in
or just someone came
and knocked at my door
or just (or just) something

crying 'cause i need you

crying 'cause i need you

. . .


his wicked sense of humour
suggests exciting sex
his fingers focus on her
touches, he's venus as a boy

he believes in beauty
he's venus as a boy

he's exploring
the taste of her
arousal
so accurate
he sets off
the beauty in het
he's venus as a boy

he believes in beauty
he's venus as a boy

. . .


come on girl
let's sneak out of this party
it's getting boring
there's more to life than this
it's still early morning
we could go down to the harbour
and jump between the boats
and see the sun come u

we could nick a boat
and sneak off to this island
i could bring my little ghettoblaster
there's more to life than this
but we'd have to rush back
to the towns best baker
to get the first bread of the morning
there's more to life than this

. . .



Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
And to sing like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud
And feeling like someone in love.

Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me.

Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
Run into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud
And feeling like someone in love

. . .


i can sense it
something important
is about to happen
it's coming up

it takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

we just met
and i know i'm a bit too intimate
but something is coming up
and we're both included

it takes courage ti enjoy ut
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

i don't know my future after this weekend
and i don't want to

it takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

. . .


one day
it will happen
one day, one day
it will all come true

one day
when you're resdy
one day, one day
when you're up to it

the atmosphere
will get lighter
and two suns ready
to shine just for you

i can feel it

one day
it will happen
one day. one day
it will all make sense

one day, one day
you will blossom
one day, one day
when you're ready

an aeroplane
will curve gracefully
around the volcano
with the eruption that never lets you down

i can feel it

and the beautifullest
fireworks are burning
in the sky just for you

i can feel it

one day
one day

. . .


I like pleasure spiked with pain
and music is my aeroplane
it´s my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
and music is my aeroplane
it´s my aeroplane
pleasure spiked with pain
that motherfucker´s always spiked with pain

Looking in my own eyes, hello
I can find the love I want
Someone better slap me
before I start to rust
before I start to decompose

Looking in my rear view mirror
Looking in my rear view mirror
I can make it disapear
I can make it disapear, have no fear

-repeat chorus-

Sitting in my kitchen
I´m turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
the star of mazy must
push her voice inside of me

I´m overcoming gravity
I´m overcoming gravity
It´s easy when you´re sad to be
It´s easy when you´re sad
Saddle up me

-repeat chorus-

Just one note could make me float
could make me float away
One note from the song
she wrote could fuck me where I lay
Just one note could make me choke
one note that´s not a lie
Just on enote could cut my throat
one note could make me die.

. . .


come to me
i'll take care of you
protect you
calm, calm down
you're exhausted
come lie down
you don't have to explain
i understand

you know
that i adore you
you know
that i love you
so don't make me say it
it would burst the bubble
break the charm

jump off
your building's on fire
i'll catch you
i'll catch you
destroy all that is keeping you down
and then i'll nurse you
i'll nurse you

come to me
i'll take care of you
you don't have to explain
i understand

. . .


since i met you
this small town hasn't got room
for my big feelings

violently happy
'cause i love you

violently happy
but you're not here

violently happy
come calm me down
before i get into trouble

i tip-toe down to the shore
stand by the ocean
make it roar at me
and i roar back

violently happy
'cause i love you

violently happy
but you're not here

violently happy
overemotional

violently happy
i'll get into trouble
real soon
if you don't get here
baby

violently happy
'cause i love you

violently happy
i'm aiming too high

violently happy
it will get me into trouble
violently happy
i'm driving my car
too fast
with ecstatic music on

violently happy
i'm getting too drunk

violently happy
i'm daring people
to jump off roofs with me

only you
can calm me down
i'm aiming too high

soothe me

. . .


i live by the ocean
and during the night
i dive into it
down to the bottom
underneath all currents
and drop my anchor

and this is where i'm staying

this is my home

. . .



Þú veist af allri hlýjunni
þú finnur allan hitan
þú veist að ég elska þig
þú veist ég verð að fara

Ég fer og veiði í matinn
kem aftur hlaðin gjöfum
með bér og fjaðrir og perlur
og litla effelturna

Ég kem og kyssi og kyssi
og kyss'og nudda hálsin
og þegar og þegar ég kem
og þegar og þegar

Þú veist að ég þarnfast þín
þú veist að ég er þín
Ho-oh-oh oh, þú...
a-að ég elska þig
þú veist að ég er þín
Ho-oh, wooh-oh oh
þegar hann kemur
Oh-mey-oh-mey-oh

A-að ég elska þig

Translation:

You know of all the warmth
You feel all the heat
You know that I love you
You know that I must go

I go and hunt for food
And come back loaded with meat
With berries and feathers and pearls
And little eiffel towers

I come and kiss and kiss
Kiss and rub the neck
And when and when I come
And when and when

You know that I need you
You know that I'm yours
Ho-oh-oh oh, you...
a-that I love you
You know that I'm yours
Ho-oh, wooh-oh oh
When he comes
Oh-mey-oh-mey-oh


. . .


darling stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful enbraces
don't you understand?
i have to go through this
i belong to here where
no-one cares and no-one loves
no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear

i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and hurting stops

it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache

i play dead
it stops the hurting
