Head Under Water
Give me heaven, give me hell
Put my life under a spell
Just to see if I can tell
Hold my head under water
Make me young and make me old
Make me raise until I fold
Make me hot and make me cold
Hold my head under water
Give me all you’ve got
For as long as I can feel
Come and cover me like rain
Drive me mad and drive me sane
For it’s really all the same
Hold my head under water
Give me all you’ve got
Hold my head under water
make it hard for me to breathe
Hold my head under water
Remind me that I’m real

Somewhere Else
Cancel all your plans
And put your phone aside
Put on your favourite dress
Or whatever you can find
Meet me in the city
Bring an empty mind
Whatever’s occupying yours
Can wait at least another night
‘Cause we have been going in circles
But tonight we will go somewhere else
I’m going astray; are you coming away as well?
We don’t need anything to say
if all we wanna do is talk
So why should we need somewhere to go
if all we wanna do is walk?
‘Cause we have been going in circles
But tonight we will go somewhere else
I’m going astray; are you coming away as well?
I won’t leave until you show
I won’t leave until you show

Fireworks
Fireworks,
Fireworks in my mind
Fireworks,
Fireworks all the time
Everything,
Everything all at once
They go boom, boom, boom
And way too soon they’ll be gone
Symphonies,
Symphonies in my head
Symphonies of
Euphoria and regret
For everything,
Everything all at once
They go boom, boom, boom
And way too soon they’ll be gone
Fireworks

City of Elephants
In this city of elephants
are we monkey or men?
Amidst well-spoken delinquents
Will you still be my friend?
When it all comes down to it
Where do we stand?
In this city of elephants
Are we still who we are?
Am I an animal
In the sum of my parts?
Am I my bones or my skin or my heart?
Are we who we are…
In every city?
In this city of elephants
Will I understand how
To be part of the herd and then
To blend in with the crowd?
Will I find in my elements
What it’s really about?
Are we who we are…
In every city?

Hurricanes
There’s a storm
It comes over my city
Some bird they scream
I think they seem to know
And I‘m calm
Maybe calmer than I should be
As the plastic bags dance pirouettes on the road
When the hurricane comes I’ll be sticking out my thumb
And I hope it’ll take me along
I’ll be sticking out my thumb
I’m begging you, come
Sweep over my city
Disaster might be just the thing we need
Whirl up the dust
It deserves no pity
For it has held us down for way too long
When the hurricane comes I’ll be sticking out my thumb
And I hope it’ll take me along
I’ll be sticking out my thumb

Rivers
I’d leave your house at 6 am
I felt light like a feather
like a feather
Every word was a weapon
That was playfully swung
When we were together
This road is a river
I shake and I shiver
Where do I start?
This road is a river
I shake and I shiver
Is everything,
everything
drifting apart?
And all the faces we have got
The change with the weather
change with the weather
And only in motion
Never a rest
Could we stay together
This road is a river
I shake and I shiver
Where do I start?
This road is a river
I shake and I shiver
Is everything,
everything
drifting apart?

Letter In Your Sky
So here’s the consequential ending
To our temporary start
I never fit with your interior
Though that was all you’d ever ask
So throw another of your parties
Invite your very best of friends
I won’t be here when they are coming
So I won’t laugh at how they dance
I will take these words and write
Golden letters in your sky
Somewhere in your city lights
And I hope they’ll make you smile
If you should really ever find them
There between your neon signs

All Comes Round
How many ends of the world can we handle
How many does or dies or so
We take it hard, we take it heavy
It’s the only way we know
Go up, go down
They all come round
Why bother?
It comes, it goes
We know it flows
Why bother?
How much more do you think we can worry
For I don’t know how much more I can
We wind up safe and yet so sorry
And we do it time and time again
Go up, go down
They all come round
Why bother?
It comes, it goes
We know it flows
Why bother?
Go up, go down
It all comes round
We’ll find ourselves in the lost and found
It comes, it goes
We know it flows
Why bother?

Solar
I don’t know what it is
That’s hanging from my shoulders
But it has been weighing me down
Like a brick stone shirt
I blame the winter too
I haven’t seen the sun in ages
We my friend should reinvent
Our days
Can we bring back the light
And bring back the warmth
Into our solar powered hearts
Can’t be the only one
whose head is home to London weather
And who’s tired of being tired of being tired
We’ve done the patient thing
But now it’s time for something better
And we my friend should reinvent
Our days
Can we bring back the light
And bring back the warmth
Into our solar powered hearts

Like Leaves
There goes another day
To vanish in the grey
Take my hand and walk away
With me
When every other voice
Turns into a whiter noise
Take my hand and walk away
With me
Away with me
The calendar sheets fall
Like leaves from the trees
While we wait and while we sleep
The calendar sheets fall
Like leaves from the trees
From the trees
What are we waiting for?
We’re washed up on a shore
Take your things and we’ll be out
Of here
We’ll be out of here
The calendar sheets fall
Like leaves from the trees
While we wait and while we sleep
The calendar sheets fall
Like leaves from the trees
From the trees
We are older than ever before
We let this day pass; it won’t come back no more
We are older than ever before
Why let it pass; it won’t come back no more

Reset
Early morning sun is calling
And I shake you off my mind and of my doubts
I reset my heart and head and get on an early bus down south
And it’s still a little sad but
I’m glad to say I gave it my best shot
And as the sunlight slowly sobers me I don’t regret a lot
It’s alright, it’s alright
For I can say I tried
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright
I’m leaving with a smile and you
Missed out on a pretty decent guy
And I know these wheels will take me
Over bridges, over borders, over you
And it all might hardly matter in a thousand miles
Or two
It’s alright, it’s alright
For I can say I tried
It’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright
I’m leaving with a smile and you
Missed out on a pretty decent guy

Manhattan
Everybody wants you
Everybody does
They all want to hold, to own you,
To call themselves your one true love
And everybody claims you
For the stories you shared
There’s eight million versions of you to be fair
And I will admit it
It want you too
You are the sum of all your pieces and I’m glad to be a piece of you
For you’re a piece of me too
And your lights in the mirror
Of the shiny East River
They still make my heart skip a beat
Yeah your lights in the mirror
Of the shiny East River
As you portrait yourself on the sea
They make my heart skip a beat
You never see me
Though I am here every day
Well our love is a one-way avenue
But that is ok
For your lights in the mirror
Of the shiny East River
They still make my heart skip a beat
Yeah your lights in the mirror
Of the shiny East River
As you portrait yourself on the sea
They make my heart skip a beat
