The Knife Album

One night to be confused
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away
both under influence
we had divine scent
to know what to say
mind is a razor blade

To call for hands of above to lean on
wouldn't be good enough for me

One night of magic rush
the start: a simple touch
one night to push and scream
and then relief
ten days of perfect tunes
the colours red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love

LyricsTo call for hands of above to lean on
wouldn't be good enough for me

And you
you knew the hand of a devil
and you
kept us awake with wolves teeth
sharing different heart beats in one night

To call for hands of above to lean on
wouldn't be good enough for me

We were looking for a room
we were looking for a hotel
we were in between
we were a few chosen
somewhere to fit in
something that's fitting
after one day it started itching
and we rubbed until it was bleeding

And we laughed at the moonlight far beyond
and we ran through the moonlight far beyond

We were looking for something to blow up
we were looking for someone to follow
we were had one way out
we were some hours left
we were so close
we knew we were chosen
we aimed for high speed
and for someone who could catch me

I'm in love with your brother
what's his name
I thought I'd come by to see him again
and when you two danced
oh what a dance
and when you two laughed
oh what a laugh


Has he mentioned my age, love
or is he more into young girls with dyed black hair
I'm in love with your brother
I thought I'd come by


I'm in love with your brother
yes I am, but maybe I
shouldn't ask for his name
and when you two danced
oh what a dance
and when you two laughed
Lyricsoh what a laugh


Does he know what I do
you pass this on, won't you
if I asked him once what would he say
is he willing, can he play


I wasn't really looking for some more than
some company on the dance floor
does he know what I do
you pass this on, won't you

Rumours telling me you are mourning
and you haven't slept for several days
you've been turning inside out looking for reasons
and your black sorry eyes made you pale

And you couldn't catch them
you couldn't be there
you couldn't help them at all
and it was cold

If we say there is something above the mountains
if we say that there is something we can't see
promise you will never believe me
cause I guess I'm just trying to make it easy

Everybody was lauging when they found us
one for you and one for me
then they let us go to hunt us down again
and still you refuse to see
why everything has to stay ugly

I am a cop
Shut up
I piss in your mouth

I am a cop
Shut up
I shoot you in the face motherfucker
I piss in your mouth

I am a cop
Shut up
I shoot you right on the spot you motherfucking shit

Listen now
I am afraid of everything
when you told me I was special
it was the happiest moment for a long long time

Listen now
I keep forgetting your name
when you laid down on the kitchen floor
it was the happiest moment for a long long time

We seek new seed new
some revolutionary
and you will never get a hold
we seek and we will find
reason to stay alive
the price has never been this low

Listen now
I was afraid of everything
then I straightened my head up
it was the happiest moment for a long long time

So you're having a baby
in November
is it enough with my blessing
or my kissing
why wasn't I told

I'm in the first row on your show
in the first row on the First Floor Power show
your vibrato's like vulnerable leaves
you do it crazy that's how you talk to me

We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy
I don't like it the straight way
we're in the middle of something
we are here to stay
and we raise our heads for the colour red

I heard you
for the first time on the radio
when I was going somewhere in a car
you touched my heart
like a knife that's very sharp
or like a bird
you just set free
that's just like me
when I hear you speak

I like vanilla and I like sex
I ride the pony that I like best
I knew I knew that there was something I missed
I was fifteen when I first got kissed
before I knew about the equality way
I wanted to get laid to
»Take my breath away«

I'm coming over but I won't be long
I'm coming over
I'm making a new song

I pick a car and it's a fifteen minutes drive
Rock Classics on the radio
to clear my mind

Sometimes in the weekends
we meet up at our favourite café
I'll order a chai tea and you will have the usual au lait
and when the place get crowded
then they freak out
and the play the music louder

Here comes another day in isolation
hold out your hand
feel my brain burns
you suck and lick but you still don't know why
I could fuck your brains out
but I'm not interested in that life

No more tears and you'll be fine
I stay here all night
and when I've stayed all the night
we go out in the morning light
we go out in the morning light
and then you trive to live they day
don't know how, don't know what to say
is it medicine or social skill?
don't have answer and nobody will
do it screaming or without a word
being sane is a full time work
another day has come to an end
then you start to cry again

You try to feel it but you can't wake up
You try to touch it but you can't wake up
You're holding ice and you don't wake up
increase the size and you don't wake up
I do it backwards but I don't wake up
try to reverse but I don't wake up
I sit astride but I still don't wake up
more than a second
when reading the newspaper
I felt the war
I felt her exposed position
I saw myself in the picture
and I
I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
instead of paying enough taxes

I got 2 got 2 let u down
but in an hour I will change my mind
it is like magic to me
making mistakes and be forgiven easily

I know she lets me down
but just for a short while
then she changes her mind
she does it all the time
making mistakes and then I'll ease her mind
she does it all the time
but she's so pretty and I don't mind

[No lyrics]

I keep my dick hangin' out of my pants
so I can point out what I want
I whas chosen by standard procedures
and I'll assure you I don't mind

I'm the head of a small business
employing old male friends of my kind
they keep their dick hangin' out of their pants
so they can point out what they want
