Lovesong for the geek

Who do you want to be?
Do you want to listen to the girls who say you are worthless?
Who do you want to be?
What's your favourite thing to do when you're all alone?
And who says it isn't cool
Reading all the books at school
Knowing the names of all the planets and the stars?
And who says it isn't cool
To know all about world war two
And read about dinosaurs all night long?
Do you still not see?
There's no need to fear a heartless crowd with just copies of ideas
Do you still not see?
There's no need to hide, they will try to take you anyway
And who says it isn't cool
Dancing every afternoon
Go fishing with your dad, or play piano or harmonica?
And who says it isn't cool
To figure skate in winter time
Read too much of ancient crime, and love statistics?
And this is a love song for the geek
For the boy who knew he was ugly and no good
And oh, for the kids who knew too much
And still too little, and yet too little
After all...
And this is a love song for the geek
For the girl who was narrow minded and annoying
For the kids who knew too much
And still too little, and yet too little
After all...

Extra Life
01:17

There's a killer on the loose
And we all wanna hide
He is dangerous as hell
He might come after us
There's a drunk man driving fast
He is angry and lonely
He's tired of his life
And goes the same way as me
But I don't care
I've got an extra life
Tonight I got an extra life
No matter what goes wrong now
I'm gonna be all right
There's a woman going mad
Making poisonous drinks
And she's working late at night
In my favourite bar
There's a girl running fast
With her mother’s machine gun
Now she's hiding in the woods
Near my favourite park

I sit and wait for what?
03:41

Well, I'm a clown now
Oh, I'm a fool!
I followed the rules
But took the wrong path
Was it a choice?
I sit and wait for what?
Sit and wait for what?
I sit and wait for what?
Sit and wait for what?
If I knew where to look...
I really want to leave
Please tell me I can go!
I've relived all my past
The future doesn't show
And I do care!
But no-one tells me how, and why, and where to go
I'm staring at the sun
The clouds are far away
Why do I feel the rain
I close the door behind
But I do care
But no-one tells me how!
I seem OK now?
I never know when to smile
What to say
Laugh with the others
Then turn away

The story goes like stories go
Like worms crawl in the rain
And I'm scared of you
I'm scared of me
And you could be insane
Still I look you in the eyes
We meet so often on the bridge
When I turn my head
You turn your head
What does it mean?
It's so
Oh-oh!
I'm running more these days
Than I have ever run before
I'm scared of eating
Scared of leaving footprints on the floor
And I know that I'm imagining
The interest I see
Still it keeps me running laps
So I can retrace you and me!
Come and take my hand!
I don't care where you are coming from
I don't care where you're off to
Come and dive through the rain
Come and take my hand!
I don't care why you are out so late
You're running on a Friday night
That's all I can know
Come and take my hand!
Take me far away 'cause I can't stay
Behind this time
You're running by...
I try...

I know you work all night, and the whole day too
But listen to me please, there's something I wanna do
I wanna take you out for a snack or a meal
Will you agree, do we have a deal?
I wanna hug you forever!
Whisper sweet things in your ear
I could tell you my secrets
I'll tell you all you wanna hear!
I know you work all day and the whole night too
But won't you come with me, there's lots of things we could do
We could watch a movie, or go for a walk
We could hang out all night and talk!
Be my girl, my one love!
Be my girl, it would be all right!
If you say yes you won't regret
I'll hold you all through the night

And then What?
02:54
|

|
Touch me! Then wake me up slowly
and psychologically save me from today
Touch me! Then stroke my hand gently
Make sure I get home safely
But never stay...
And then what? I say, I said it now
And then nothing! you reply
Untie me, untangle me gently
Then close the door forever
Throw the key
Hold me! Then lift me and move me
Take care of me forever
Throw the key
Forget the past, build a castle made of straw
Then wait a while, let it fall down
Forget the straw, build a castle made of wood
Then wait a while, let it fall down
Forget your home, build a castle made of stone
Then wait a while, let it fall down
Forget your past, go get out, you win at last
Then wait a while, let it fall
In a while, I'll wait, I'll say it then
Now there's something, you'll reply

It Fell Apart
03:33
|

|
Some months had passed
I moved away to another place
Another pace
And I tried to make it go away
But then we were broken
I didn't eat
I wish I could get the time to stop
To turn it back
And I disappeared and never saw
The ghost I became
But the island, the grass, and the water
The ferry, the cat, and the cows
And R and K and Y and K and T kept me safe from the
Dark thoughts and the endless cold silence
The holes and the years
All the years that vanished fast
And left a vast
Desert of nothing
I didn't vanish, though I tried so hard
And I'm still around, 'cause I try so hard
But a big part died
I think I cried
It out in the soil
Where some flowers grow
The silent kind
And the endless nights
The stars that shine
And I start to see another me
Not broken and shallow
There are days where nights used to be
There are mornings fair and aimless
There's a hand that's searching for me
Will you lift me out of darkness?
There are moons where wounds used to be
There are craters, plumes, and fountains
There are worlds just waiting for me
There are rivers, paths, and mountains
There are roads I've never yet seen
There are deserts, forests, waters
There's a hand that's searching for me
Will you lift me out of darkness?

We Were Never Being Boring Collective Italy
We want music to never turn into something boring for us. It would mean that we have become boring. Because music does not die with mp3′s or copyright: boredom is what brings it down, when it becomes a habit. All we need is a small do-it-yourself collective, as tiny as a simple smile. ... more
