Not a Word

I see you see me walking down the street
There’s a bit of concrete under our feet
You’re on the opposite side of me,
at a waving distance from here
I like the way you walk elegantly
With a swish in your hip and back
That make my doubts rise angrily,
as you hypnotize my soul
And I still won’t say
a word
And I still can’t take
that step
Now you’re sitting down in the pub
Looking clean from a trip to the tub
You’re on the opposite corner of me,
at a shouting distance from here
I like the way you drink your white russian
With a sip and a swirl of your tongue
That makes my heart play African percussion,
as you stare right in my soul
(Chorus)
I gotta make a move, I don’t know how
I’m talking nonsense, I’d better shut up
She’s looking great but she gives me doubts
And suddenly I feel so puny inside.
Maybe I’d just break the silence
But then again what have I got to lose
I get up and I make my way
I say Hi and I brace myself
And then I see you leaving in a hurry
What has happened is kinda funny
She’s on an opposite level of me,
that’s nowhere close from here
And then I notice the dripping pool
Is that your drink on the floor?
You must think I’m such a fool
Spilling your drink like that
(Chorus)

Collector
03:10
|

A collection of misfortune or a treasure in a box
Is that up to me or is it up to you?
All I know is that it’s not complete
It’ll take some time before I own it all
I’m a collector,
I want to own it all
I can’t collect her,
‘cause then there’s something wrong (x2)
A limited edition or a special version of this
Is that what I want or is it not enough?
All I know is that I’m almost there
I’m one item closer to owning it all
(Chorus)
I am cursed,
‘cause I want to own it all
It’s in my head and that’s where it’s coming from
I am cursed,
‘cause I want to own it all
It’s in my head
I strife for completion till the very last thing
Is that my curse and will it haunt me down?
All I want is that you’d complete me
If you give me the chance, I’d give you all I’ve got
(Chorus)
I’m a collector
I can’t collect her
I’m a collector
I can’t collect her
I’m a collector

The Feeling That I Might
04:42
|
|||
As I’m floating through the seasons
And times are moving fast
I can’t seem to make (anything)
any progress today
I’ve been dreaming for some time now
Of dreams and hopes alike
But my plans are so distorted
Anything can happen now
Oh, got a feeling that I might (x2)
Break through this fright
I’m scared to make a thing
Scared it will not suffice
I still can’t seem to make (anything)
any progress today
(Chorus)
Break through this fright and doubts within
No, I won’t give up this time
Got a feeling that I might (x4)
(Chorus x2)
Break through this fright

Imaginary Friends
02:52
|

I go to sleep with my imaginary friends
There’s a dinosaur and an action hero
They stand by me when I fall asleep
and return in my dreams
When I’m alone
I’m not alone (x2)
They stand by me when I sing this song
As they know the chorus and the verse
And when I dance, they look at me
“Are you crazy?”, they say
(Chorus A)
My mother, she wants to know
if I am a little loco
And now my mother, she wants ’em gone
For my friends, the battle is on
‘Cause I am a little bit loco.
My friends are everywhere I go-o (x2)
I got dinosaurs that really amaze me
‘Cause I am a teeny bit crazy
I got some crayons in my hand
Let’s draw some imaginary friends
(Chorus B)
He is a little bit loco (x2)
(Chorus B x2)
