2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
things aren't what they used to be
the world is a strange and fragile place
we're not who we used to be
our dreams they have no end
2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
things aren't what they used to be, I know
the world is a strange and fragile place
we're not who we used to be for so long
our dreams they have no end no end no end
2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again
forward and forward
further and further
forward and forward
closer and closer
2010s, maybe the world won't end
2010s, maybe it will make sense
2010s, maybe the world won't end
2010s, maybe it will make sense
2010s, maybe the world won't end
2010s, maybe it will make sense
2010s, maybe the world won't end
so I can spend time with you again

Heart Breaks Into A Song
03:50
|

heart breaks into a song
the only one it knows
but no one sings along
they just stare
heart breaks into a song
and everybody stops
where does that sound come from
it's an awkward show
but I'm no ventriloquist
what the hell is going on
heart breaks into a song
the only one it knows
but no one sings along
are they just scared
when my heart breaks into a song
heart breaks into a song
an organ-grinding song
the voice is shrill yet so strong
something unheard of
hey cardiologist
tell me what is wrong
heart breaks into a song
the only one it knows
but no one sings along
well I don't care
when my heart breaks into a song
catch that song before it's gone
take it home and sing it to your darling
heart breaks into a song
please tell me doctor
what am I to do
when it sings like this
heart breaks into a
heart breaks into a
heart breaks into a
heart breaks into a song

Fade To White
04:06
|
|||
the world covered in snow sighs in its sleep
all colours have gone and hide in defeat
we wait surrounded by white with our lives on hold
snowploughs serenade outside the window
just don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
and cover you with a beautiful shroud
you'll fade to white
white is the wind that rips through the bones
how lucky we are in the warmth of ourhomes
just don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
and cover you with a beautiful shroud
you'll fade to white
fade to white
lost in the frost
the season has it's cost
we are in its thrall
the winter takes it all
no don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
keeps you in the whiteout
sooner or later it has to get clearer
oh don't fade to white
don't fade to white
we'll be alright in the spring

Chaos Shall Reign!
05:47
|
|||
we open our eyes
as the dark day dawns
nature spills savage blood
wastes away its pawns
feral children
tending the flames
soon the fire will rise
and chaos shall reign
chaos shall reign
it was here first and will die last
chaos shall reign
glories of the fearsome past
there are forces within
and forces beneath
the surface seems calm
or so you'd think
seeds of destruction
the ruins have no names
black kiss of evilization
chaos shall reign
chaos shall reign
it waits in the deep for you and me
chaos shall reign
bow your head for sacred entropy
chaos shall reign
hail chaos hail
we are descending the stairs
down through the structures of reality
closing in on the original dark void
the sound of the bells from the deep
the abyss from which all complexities evolved
chaos shall reign
societies hanging on a thread
chaos shall reign
chaos springs eternal death
chaos shall reign
chaos shall reign

I'm waiting for you outside the window
of an old grey house at the edge of the world
where the sea will rage if you step out the door
so you keep it shut tight and just climb the walls
leave it all again
leave it all again
step right out into thin air
and leave it all again
leave it all again
leave it all again
something new waits for you there
leave it all again
if you close your eyes you'll feel the wind at your heels
slowly rising fresh cool breeze
that drifts into your house with whispers so sweet
"leave it all again, leave it all again please"
your daily bores and your nighttime scares
fixed points of view, routines that won't spare
the youth of your mind that's your own captive there
so leave it all again, leave it all again
what's outside the window
it's so hard to let go
of the world we built and leave it all again
what's outside the window
it's so hard to let go
of the world we built and leave it all again
leave it all again
leave it all again
step right out into thin air
leave it all again
leave it all again
something new waits for you there
leave it all again
leave it all again
step right out into thin air
leave it all again
leave it all again
leave behind only trails to nowhere
what's outside the window
it's so hard to let go
of the world we built and leave it all again
what's outside the window
it's so hard to let go
of the world we built and leave it all again
even when you're on the road or somewhere abroad
you still peek through the same window
leave it all again
what's outside the window
it's so hard to let go
of the world we built and leave it all again
what's outside the window
it's so hard to let go
of the world we built and leave it all again
leave it all again
believe it all again
learn to play in a new way
leave it all again
believe it all again
our little world is made of clay

Popsicle Summer
03:18
|

here it comes
pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
ooh I'm longing for another popsicle
cos Finnish summer is so fickle
every spring at least will bring some new tastes
all of which are not that great
but there might be new candidates for
pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
life has just began
and we discover that we're always young
when days are spent in such idle ways
we'd go so far for just a popsicle
cos it's time for pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
hats off to Frank Epperson who was just eleven
when he bumped into his invention
a frozen drink combined with a wooden stick (ingenious!)
ice pop ice block ice lolly icy pole
oh so sweet and fresh and ice cold
when it gets hot you'll surely dig this
pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
life has just began
and we discover that we're always young
when days are spent in such idle ways
we'd go so far for just a popsicle
cos it's time for pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer
this is a tribute to
pop pop pop pop pop pop popsicles
of yesteryears that are now missing
Handy with it's pointed finger
Roger Rabbit's jelly center
Jenga was a long green spiral
Batman, Pop Up, Rio Cola
M.A.C. Black Orange, where did you vanish
please stay with me, at least you Pommac and Päärynä Lipsi!
cos it's summer and life has just began
and we discover that we're always young
when days are spent in such idle ways
we'd go so far for just a popsicle
cos it's summer and life has just began
and we discover that we're always young
when days are spent in such idle ways
we'd go so far for just a popsicle
cos it's time for pop pop pop pop pop popsicle summer

Neon Lightning

|

the night sky is in need of neon lightning
hey, something's on it's way
yeah, it's in the air
wow, can you feel it now
cool, just let it loose
neon lightning
shining, striking
we're dancing under
disco thunder

Traitor On The Inside
04:47
|
|||
come and see my beautiful country
where the lights go out at six in the evening
the winter can leave you depressed and freezing
and the summer won't melt the northern heart
traitor on the inside
I got friends in high places
they owe me one to make me faceless
I can speak and remain nameless
I'll disappear into the air
traitor on the inside
won't you let me out
there's a heart that's always aching
left alone and thrown out for breaking
a heart so strong that it will go on
long after our world is gone
traitor on the inside
won't you let it out
let it out

Puppies In The Rain
03:17
|
|||
puppies in the rain
they'll steal your heart away
under autumn's veil
loppy ears and soggy tails
they don't even know their names
or if they have yet any
if the coldest heart can break
it will break for them
for puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh
puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh
puppies in the rain
want to feel the warmth again
and find the kindness that can save them
puppies in the rain
lost on a strange terrain
they just want to play
but they'll need a safer place
a warm lap and loving arms
that'll never let them down
the cold world makes us all bark
but we only want some love
like puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh
puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh
puppies in the rain
take them home and dry their hair
tuck them in a warm blanket
and they'll snuggle up to somebody who deserves it
puppies in the rain
want to feel the warmth again
and find the kindness that can save them
we're puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh
puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh
puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh
puppies in the rain
oo-woah-woah-woah-woo-oh

soyez amoureuses

when nothing's making sense
words fail once again
this is happiness

when nothing's making sense
words fail once again
this is happiness
it all falls into place
this is happiness
it all falls into place

Astromelancholia
05:57
|
|||
a star in the darkness
light years from home
how long ago
was it when I was breathing
in a different way
than the rest of the human race
into the night
floating in my sleep
into the night
a nightmare of gravity
the weight of my body wakes me
all the lights in the distance
keep glimmering on
reminding me of
the limits of my existence
I am stuck here
lost in a lonely sphere
into the night
throughout the starry skies
into the night
I want to rise
infinite night never closes its eyes
oh Urania you break my heart
beauty at large thrown into the stars
oh Urania you break my heart
oh Urania you break my heart
all the stars in the darkness
how long to go
before I know
what waits for me behind them
wide open space
I won't leave a trace
into the night
so crushing and vast
into the night
further than too far
take me back into the stars
infinite night never closes its eyes
oh Urania, you break my heart
beauty at large thrown into the stars
oh Urania, you break my heart
oh Urania, you break my heart
oh Urania, you break my heart

Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
the old Santa has gone AWOL
his endless shopping mall tours have taken their toll
and Christmas is getting close
oh Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
and Christmas Eve arrives
you descend from the sky
in your homemade spaceship
amidst the snow confetti
wearing your shiny grey suit
with your loyal crew
of orange elves and furry friends
and Michael, Steven and Kliph
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
you give us a sense of wonder
when we're feeling buried under mundane chores
shake our little snow globe world
oh Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
it's the most wonderful show
our senses overflow
it feels just like Christmas
to be sprinkled with love
the greatest Christmas present
is to treasure the present
and drop all worries and regrets
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
the gift that you bring is
more precious than all the bling bling in the world
we feel Christmas all year long
oh Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
make us smile and make us cry
show us why we need to try
even if our hearts might break
they're fixable with duct tape
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
the gift that you bring is
more precious than all the bling bling in the world
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
you give us a sense of wonder
when we're feeling buried under mundane chores
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
oh Wayne Coyne, be our Santa Claus
