Текст песни:

Your eyes are cold,
I know you′ll tell me all.
Not to fall,
I lean against the wall.
I′m on the floor,
not listening anymore.
I should have known,
the things to which you′re prone.
(You cross your arms,
and tell no lies,
a thousand thoughts run
through my mind,
a thousand words that I don′t need,
I never thought you could do this.)

Your eyes are cold,
I know you′ll tell me all.
Not to fall,
I lean against the wall.

Текст песни:

All I do is sleep all day,
and think of you.
A memory of the cushion life
I′m clinging to.
The image of a mutual one, our haven.
The sombre chords of our song,
the fading.

Love is no big truth,
driven by our genes,
we are simple selfish beings.
A symphony that′s you,
joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping.

Passion and its brother hate,
they come and go.
Could easily be made
to stay for longer though.
Many people play this game
so willingly,
do I have to be like them,
or be lonely?

Love is no big truth,
driven by our genes,
we are simple selfish beings.
A symphony that′s you,
joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping.

Another view of what there is to it,
getting me through it.

I′ll never need it again.
I′ll never need it again.
I′ll never need it again.
I′ll never need it again.
I′ll never need it again.
I′ll never need it again.
I′ll never need it again.

Текст песни:

Summerchild that sits by the water,
weaving sunlight threads in his hands.
The golden river that day a shelter,
a stream where he could make pebbles dance.
You looked around you,
nobody had taken,
any notice of what you saw...
Against the evening sky a formation,
a million black birds looking like one.

Live long, save ten years to remember,
live long, hold it in front of your eyes once more.
Live long, save ten years to remember,
live long, hold it in front of your eyes once more.

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

What′s the immaterial substance
that envelopes two,
that one percieves as hunger
and the other as food.
I wake in tangeled covers,
to a sash of snow,
you dream in a cartoon garden,
I could never know.
Innocent imitation, you are cast in gold,
your image a compensation for me to hold.

Parallel lines, move so fast,
toward the same point,
infinity is as near as it is far.

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn′t notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it′s up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

Things seem so much better when
they′re not part of your close surroundings.
Like words in a letter sent,
amplified by the distance.
Possibilities and sweeter dreams,
sights and sounds calling form far away,
calling from far away.
I didn′t know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn′t hear you singing softly to me.
I didn′t know you then, now did I girl?
I didn′t see the brave girl so near me.
I didn′t know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn′t hear you sing softly to me.

I wanted a mystery that couldn′t be solved,
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing.
I wanted a story that couldn′t be told,
only the fishing part of fishing.

I didn′t know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn′t hear you singing softly to me.
I didn′t know you then, now did I girl?
I didn′t see the brave girl so near me.
I didn′t know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn′t hear you sing softly to me.

And now I find
it was you all the time.
I′m in love again
it′s too late now...

Текст песни:

Five weeks in a prison,
I made no friends.
There′s more time to be done, but
I′ve got a week to spend.
I didn′t pay much attention first time around,
but now you′re hard not to notice,
right here in my town.
Where the stage of my old life
meets the cast of the new.
Tonights actors... me and you.

Each day is taking us closer,
while drawing the curtains to close.
This far, or further, I need to know.
Your increasingly long embraces,
are they saying sorry or please?
I don′t know what′s happening,
help me.

Through the streets,
on the corners,
there′s a scent in the air.
I ask you out and I lead you.
I know my way around here.
There′s a bench I remember,
and on the way there I find that the movements you′re making,
are mirrored in mine.
And your hand is held open,
intentionally, or just what I want to see?

Your increasingly long embraces,
are they saying sorry or please?
I don′t know what′s happening, help me.
I don′t normally beg for assistance,
I rely on my own eyes to see,
but right now they make no sense to me,
right now you make no sense to me.

Текст песни:

I′ll lose some sales and my boss won′t be happy,
but I can′t stop listening to the sound
of two soft voices
blended in perfection
from the reels of this record that I′ve found.

Every day there′s a boy in the mirror asking me...
What are you doing here?
Finding all my previous motives
growing increasingly unclear.

I′ve traveled far and I′ve burned all the bridges
I believed as soon as I hit land
all the other options held before me,
would wither in the light of my plan.

So I′ll lose some sales and my boss won′t be happy,
but there′s only one thing on my mind
searching boxes underneath the counter,
on a chance that on a tape I′d find...
a song for someone who needs somewhere to long for.

Homesick.
Because I no longer know where home is.

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

One, two,
One, two.

I walked around for hours,
two ten pence pieces in my hand.
I was alone and freezing,
still trying hard to understand you.

I left the others knowing
I had to work this by myself.
But now the feeling′s growing,
I would be better off with their help.

So baby, what we′ve got,
has lately,
not been enough,
not been enough.

I wish I had your scarf still,
that once embraced,
and kept me warm.
I wish you could be with me,
in these last days when I am still hopelessly poor.

Stay out of trouble,
stay in touch.
Try not to think about me too much.

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

I didn′t know you were there
until you said "hello."
You had been watching me
for I don′t know how long.
I hit my head against the lamp,
as by surprise I stood up.
"Don′t be afraid," you said,
"it′s only me- The door wasn′t locked."

The voice I′d heard in the hall
was hard to recognise.
But now we know he′s onboard,
wearing our disguise.
If only you and I could trust
each other through this,
then together we could
work out who the enemy is.

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

From my seat I see the fields move by,
coulours strong- it′s been a long, long time.
It′s the first time I see summer on the Westhill.
I lean back and let my eyes just go
floating now where they want to float.
They seem to take to the horizon.
Now I know there is a world beyond
the small place I was coming from.
I feel at home here in the middle of nowhere.
I will never know the names
of these places that I travel through
to reach the coastline-
I′ve been told I will be there in time.

Please oceancloud,
let there be no storm on the crossing below

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

Through the alleyways
to cool off in the shadows,
then into the street
following the water.
There′s a bearded man
paddling in his canoe,
looks as if he has
come all the way from the Cayman Islands.

These canals, it seems,
they all go in circles,
places look the same,
and we′re the only difference.
The wind is in your hair,
it′s covering my view.
I′m holding on to you,
on a bike we′ve hired until tomorrow.

If only they could see,
if only they had been here,
they would understand,
how someone could have chosen to go the length I′ve gone,
to spend just one day riding.
Holding on to you,
I never thought it would be this clear.

Текст песни:

When past sometimes takes you with soft hands,
forcelessly pulls you to your chair.
Hides you away from these half days,
sunless at the end of the year.
The air is like a knife cutting through you.
A room in the house is always warm.
Stretched out on the bathroomfloor, thinking,
of fair days your future may hold.

Love comes like surprise ice on the water,
love comes like surprise ice at dawn.
Love comes like surprise ice on the water,
love comes at dawn.

Deprived of the light and of colours,
the world ends at your windowtree.
Darkness creates these illusions,
but pale days can teach you to see.
Rain falls, but no life is given,
weeks pass, no progress is made.
Past sometimes takes you with soft hands,
and all that surrounds you will fade.

Love comes like surprise ice on the water,
love comes like surprise ice at dawn.
Love comes like surprise ice on the water,
love comes at dawn.

Текст песни:

Using the Guardian as a shield,
to cover my thighs against the rain,
I do not mind about my hair.
Your jacket may be waterproof,
but I know the moment you get home
you′re gonna get your trousers changed.
Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
lush as the wind upon a tree.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
to capture and keep inside of me.
Failure is always the best way to lean,
retracing your steps untill you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.

@ Kings of Convenience

Текст песни:

The build up lasted for days,
lasted for weeks,
lasted too long.
Our hero withdrew,
when there was two,
he could not choose one,
so there was none.

Worn into the vaguely announced.
Worn into the vaguely announced.

The spinning top made a sound
like a train across the valley,
fading, oh so quiet but constant til it passed,
over the ridge
into the distances
written on your ticket to remind you where to stop,
and when to get off.

The spinning top made a sound
like a train across the valley,
fading, oh so quiet but constant til it passed,
over the ridge
into the distances
written on your ticket to remind you where to stop,
and when to get off.

Текст песни:

Without giving anything away,
I can say it′s by the sea.
It′s a house that used to be the home of a friend of mine.
Without giving anything away,
you′ll find ships inside of bottles,
and the garden′s overgrown,
the house is white but the paint is coming of.

I didn′t know if you wanted to,
when I came to pick you up.
But you didn′t even hesitate,
and now you and me are on our way.
I think I′ve brought everything we need,
so don′t look back,
don′t think of the other places you should have been
it′s a good thing that you came along with me.

Gold in the air of summer,
you′ll shine like gold in the air of summer.
