Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may desert you
So it cannot hurt you

You only have to look behind you
At who's underlined you
Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Wants you out of the sun

What you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may delay you
Might just save you

You only have to look behind you
At who's underlined you
Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Wants you out of the sun

What you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Wants you out of the sun

What you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Wants you out of the sun

What you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Woke up in the evening
To the sound of the screaming
Through walls that were bleeding
All over me

Untied & weightless
Unconscious as we cross
The international dateline
Let's end it here

Grown tired of the show coast
And the ones that we toast
There are no zeroes
Around here

Untied & weightless
Unconscious as we cross
The international dateline
Let's end it here

Let's end it here
Let's end it here
Let's leave her here
Let's end it here

Woke up in the evening
To the sound of the screaming
Through walls that were bleeding
All over me

Untied & weightless
Unconscious as we cross
The international dateline
Let's end it here

Let's end it here
Let's end it here
Let's leave her here
Let's leave her here

Let's end it here
Let's end it here
Let's leave her here
Let's leave her here

They only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun
They take a polaroid and let you go
Say they'll let you know
So come on
(*repeat 7 times*)

We only want you when you're seventeen
When you're twenty-one
You're no fun

Prez gorite, prez poliata,
Pod zvezdite, nad zhitata

I know her, used to follow everywhere we'd go
and it's so sweet, now she's sleeping with a boy I know
the boy I know, knows a pretty girl in every town
and the way they look, they were made to let each other down

she got her face from the same house where she stole her clothes
on the same street, there's a dance hall where nobody goes
four to the floor, stealing cigarettes of '90s ghosts
and then at Christmas time, 'till we exceed the recommended dose

Prez gorite, prez poliata,
Pod zvezdite, nad zhitata
Shte patuvat prez noshta,
Risuvat prez denia i shte spiat do obed
Viatarat gi bruli na srebaren MZ
I shte piat gorski chai ot zlaten samovar
Litsata im greiat s ognenen zagar.

I know her, used to follow everywhere we'd go
and it's so sweet, now she's sleeping with a boy I know
the boy I know, knows a pretty girl in every town
and the way they look, they were made to let each other down

I don't hate you, or want you
Enough to wake you.
There's a crack in the window
Return off the key in ignition

So if you freeze tomorrow
Come back
Lucky
We saw that your eyes were closing

There's a crack in the window
Return off the key in ignition.
But I don't hate you, or want you,
or celebrate you

So if you freeze tomorrow
Come back
Lucky
We saw that your eyes were closing

So if you freeze tomorrow
Come back
Lucky
We saw that your eyes were closing

But I don't hate you, or want you,
enough to wake you

So if you freeze tomorrow
Come back
Lucky
We saw that your eyes were closing

So if you freeze tomorrow
Come back
Lucky

We saw that your eyes were closing x5

So if you freeze tomorrow
Come back
Lucky

Broken glass is luxury;
Friendly fires are alchemy;
Daylight is the enemy;
Witching hour, soft power

We're not sleeping at the wheel.
The wheel is turning the machine
that kills for us.

Close your eyes, so you're not seen
in Valentine's daydream.

We're not sleeping at the wheel
The wheel is turning the machine
that kills for us.

The arrogance of the forest
Setting fire to the tourists

We're not sleeping at the wheel
The wheel is turning the machine
that kills for us.

Broken glass is luxury;
Friendly fires are alchemy;
Daylight is the enemy;
Witching hour, soft power.


. . .


In the first days of the spring time
made you up and split from one thousand enemies
made a trail of, of a thousand tears
made you a prisoner inside your own secrecy

There's a ghost in me
who wants to say "I'm sorry"
Doesn't mean I'm sorry

At the first hour of the springtime
made you up and split from one thousand enemies

now I see you from the corner
clock strikes
and I know you will be drinking alone

There's a ghost in me
who wants to say "I'm sorry"
Doesn't mean I'm sorry

Playgirl, why are you sleeping in tomorrow’s world?
Hey, playgirl
Playgirl, why are you dancing when you could be alone?
Hey, playgirl
Playgirl, why are you sleeping in tomorrow’s world?
Hey, playgirl
Playgirl, choking on cigarettes won't get you along
Hey, playgirl

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl
Northern lights catch you coming down
Sleep your way out of your hometown

Playgirl, why are you sleeping in tomorrow’s world?
Hey, playgirl

Northern lights catch you coming down
Sleep your way out of your hometown

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl
Northern lights catch you coming down
Sleep your way out of your hometown
Hey playgirl, hey playgirl
Hey playgirl, hey playgirl

Foreign coin on a telephone box
A question mark on a calendar
An empty seat on the alpha line
A sorting code, an account number

Hey playgirl, hey playgirl
Northern lights catch you coming down
Sleep your way out of your hometown

Straight lines that cut through the scene
like you wanted to, blue jeans.
Soft loans that spent all last summer
buying drinks for you, blue jeans.
Left hand that crashed near your house
in the ice and snow, blue jeans.
A face outside sleeping pressed against
the bay window, blue jeans.

You've been trying to protect me,
An insect living in your memory,
Don't, blue jeans won't cut at the seams,
Like you want them to.

You don't need me to show the way now
they're onto you, blue jeans.
And I won't be phoning you today
unless you want me to, blue jeans.

You've been trying to protect me,
An insect living in your memory,
Don't, blue jeans won't cut at the seams,
Like you want them to

Back to summertime. It was almost 6 months to the day.
Eyes clock to his hand.
Liquid crystals on his watch catch rays of morning peeking through.
Moving the pillows out of the way. Tries to make the time.
Falls asleep with his watch on again.
Cracked LCD.

He has got last years summertime, the one she liked.
On daylight saving time, hoping that the world catch up with him
before he catches her.
It happens once a year. She'd better run.
Was summertime for all. Alpine retreat off the A40.
Cracked LCD

Deep blue, I wanna to take you to the sun
Use the power station at the heart of town
I'm sorry for the news the other day
Let's go and play before they take you down

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you

Deep blue, let's get a train out of town
To a place that's easier to get around
To a place that's easier to get along
To pretend to be strong, deep blue

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Try and make you laugh, deep blue
Deep blue, I know that scares you
Try and find your smile, deep blue

One place we choose straight
And you make it last more than a day
Starting with a smile then it fades away
So stay another day, deep blue

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Try and make you laugh, deep blue
Deep blue, I know that scares you
Try and find your smile, deep blue

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you
Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you
Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you
Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you
Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you

Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you
Deep blue, I wanna to give it all to you
Deep blue, I know that scares you

The kids are freed, now all they need is a gift from their mum and dad
They heard the tones, of Spanish phones stranded in the sand.

You left on the lights, is there somebody home
You left on the lights, is there somebody home
Left on the lights, is there somebody home, light and magic

You cut your hair and made a friend, now they're falling into you
This is the closest that you will get to them, how do you do?

You left on the lights, is there somebody home
Switched off your voicemail and left it alone
Left on the lights, is there somebody home, light and magic

Then lost some time in someone’s line, might just've caught the show
This is not real, but it will deal with this thing between tonight and
tomorrow...

By the beach in a one-storey building, you're lucky if the light's not out
But, baby, now you look like a Xerox of yourself.

The kids are free, now all they need is a gift from their mum and dad

Every new day that you start
plans the minute you're flagging your heart
where you waking up today
my little runaway

every red eye that you cross
makes the next feel serious
where you waking up today
my little runaway x4

every silver shell that you crush
will be enough
where you gonna sleep today
my little runaway

when you feel like everyone
wants to kill the unicorn
where you waking up today
my little runaway x16

. . .


merging the way
that we did yesterday, wrong direction
the traffic we'll know
the traffic is slow, and thoughtless
the wheel it is still, on the concrete and green, way home
and it is alone
a divsion unknown, a split decision

climbing the floors and im not running
through revolving doors and you're not driving
the barrier stands between your hands and me
sorry

you said i made
you said you said i made a bad decision
i said i made a mistake
failure without recognition
but how would i know
know of what consequence, had i first seen
i kiss you in vain
how california hates, had i'd not been

closing the doors and i am running
past video stores and you are driving
a battery stands between your hands and me
sorry

you have got to be the last one standing
you have got to be the last one standing
you have got to be the last one standing

you have got to be the last one standing
you have got to be the last one standing
you have got to be the last one standing

you have got to be the last one standing
you have got to be the last one standing
you have got to be the last one standing

Little Black Angel as years roll by
I want you to fly with your wings held high
I want you to live by the justice code
I want you to burn down freedom's road

My Little Black Angel (4x)

Oh, lie away
Oh, lie away sleeping
Lie away safe in my arms
Your father, your future protects you
And locks you safe from all harm

Little Black Angel as years roll by
I want you to fly with your wings held high
I want you to live by the justice code
I want you to burn down freedom's road

My Little Black Angel (8x)

Ace on an unbroken line
ace of hearts
Mariner of the time
another ace of hearts
Sweet possessions of cards
that you take
From each victoria box
that you break
You break the ace of hearts
but break too much
Hearts that cannot be refused
on your watch
Break the ace of hearts
Draw closer to me
ace of hearts
Aces among the team
another ace of hearts
Hearts to make yourself free

yes you will
Make free of the cities
where time stands still
You break the ace of hearts
but break too much
The bombs that cannot be defused
by you touch
Break the ace of hearts
Break aces of hearts
Break all aces of hearts
...
Break the ace of hearts
Break aces of hearts
Break all aces of hearts

Where am I? Sleeping at the console. ahhhh
I dreamt something, that I don't remember. ahhhh
Checking in, just like any other. ahhhh
Signing off, signing out forever.ahhhh

You're secondhand,
That's the reason why you're easy to drive. The reason why.
You understand,
That's the reason why you're easy to hide.

My head says yes but I was sedated. ahhhh
Signing on, checking in together. ahhhh

You're secondhand,
That's the reason why you're easy to drive.
You understand,
That's the reason why you're easy to hide.
You joined a band,
That's the reason why you're easy to try.
You understand,
That's the reason why you're easy to hide.

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalaaa(x a lot)

Live like our own video
What luck to have another turn
High in victorian england
Away from the smoke and the fire

the mirror you'll see,
has a memory, special feature

It's falling on you from above
The walker is under the cloud
Out sound like a two minute warning
Falling on you from above

the mirror you'll see,
has a memory, special feature

the picture you'll see, infatuates me
the mirror you'll see, has a memory

Sisters when hit by the lightning
Wouldn't we talk under these

the mirror you'll see,
has a memory, special feature

the picture you'll see, infatuates me
the mirror you'll see, has a memory, special feature

Someone's coming round in the evening

One touch on the face of a city.
Boy/black plastic chair with some time to spare

Black plastic, touching black plastic

Someone's coming round in the evening

One touch on the face of a city.
Boy/black plastic chair with some time to spare

Black plastic, touching black plastic

One touch on the face of a city.
Boy/black plastic chair with some time to...
Drawing on face of a girl who is sleeping
Black plastic chair, reaching out, making one touch

up on the stand, the society meeting
that was the way, was the way that I found you
drunk after work, here in the late night feelings
that was the way, was the way that I found you
sat in the crowd, watching the women's tennis
that was the way, was the way that I found you
saw who you were, picking up from the canvas
that was the way; I was wrapped around you,
met you while you were switching on
and checked your box on the blue coupon
that was how...I...found...

up on the stand, the society meeting
that was the way, was the way that I found you
drunk after work, here in the late night feelings

kicked your wheel in the midday sun
and saved your place in the peloton
that was how...I...found...

sat in the crowd, watching the women's tennis
that was the way, was the way that I found you
saw who you were, picking up from the canvas
that was the way; I was wrapped around you
you still don't know what I want
picked up your book in a street kiosk
that was how...I...found...

up on the stand, the society meeting
that was the way, was the way that I found you
late night feelings, trying to set for the winter
to leave you this way, the way I found you

and checked your box on the blue coupon
that was how...I...found...

Sluntseto presicha tiahnata daga
Na piasaka risuvat, blestiashta svetlina.

Iz grada te tichat,
Tuk tame nadnichat,
Burzo se oblichat,
Pogled ne privlichat.

Sluncho gi prispiva v toploto kreslo
Tiho shte broiat do shest-stotin i edno

Iz grada te tichat,
Tuk tame nadnichat,
Burzo se oblichat,
Pogled ne privlichat.

Black sun rising
New day dawning
Amplifying
and destroying

We`re on the same high you and I
Open on the same page, no sunrise

Tender talons
chase new horizons
masquerading
Black sun rising

We`re on the same high you and I
Open on the same page, no sunrise

Silent movers
Black medusa
perfect timing
hallow morning

We`re on the same high you and I
Open the same page, no sunrise

Sickness fading
Darkness falling
New day dawning
Black sun rising

We`re on the same high you and i
Open the same page, no sunrise

We`re on the same high you and i
Open the same page, no sunrise

We`re on the same high you and i
Open the same page, no sunrise

Slushai me
Uniniyata zabravi
Chui, za sinite skali si pripomni
Nov pat vseki den napred nameri
Kak obichashe da se katerish
Kotkata v orel dnes prevarni

Izvan kartata da izleti

S badeshteto si ako igraesh,

Da e ot men

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Listen to me
forget despondencies
listen, remember the blue cliffs
find a new road forward every day
how you loved to climb
turn the cat into an eagle today
(morning of mine)
to fly off the map
(morning of mine)
if you’re going to play with your future,
(morning of mine)
let it be from me

listen to me
forget despondencies
listen, remember the blue cliffs
find a new road forward every day
how you loved to climb
turn the cat into an eagle today
to fly off the map
if you’re going to play with your future,
real and magical

. . .


I don't want to fight
just want a piece of your life
oh, if you come out to play
I don't want you to say...anything
I didn't feel a thing when you told me that
you didn't feel a thing when I told you that
I didn't feel a thing, another breakfast with you

[repeat]

(spoken)
Did you ever fall in love?
for a quarter of an hour or above (??)

When a menthol hit, hooks a spatial girl in her summer clothes,
Like a transmission, on an empty channel, all lines are closed.
Taking photographs, speaking slowly through the permanent waves
The taste in her mouth that she read about earlier today

This is happening for your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil, when you want

When a menthol hit, hooks a spatial girl in her summer clothes,
Like a transmission, on an empty channel, all lines are closed.
Taking photographs, speaking slowly through the permanent waves
The taste in her mouth that she read about earlier today

This is happening for your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil, when you want

This is happening for your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil, when you want

When the night becomes, automatic sequence joining the day,
Singing something new, someone else is sliding into your way.
When a menthol hit, hooks a spatial girl in her summer clothes,
Like a transmission, on an empty channel, all lines are closed.

Got to get you off my conscience by Friday,
On Saturday I'll be wide awake, On Sunday I'm your new best friend,
On Monday learn it all again

For your pleasure, at your leisure
Use your evil, when you want.

I sent you out to play last night
The alarms went off at three.
Funny how I know nothing now
Loneliness the guarantee.

I sent you out to play last night
The alarms went off at three.
Funny how I'm not loving now
He's not coming home to me.

I sent you out to play last night
The alarms went off at three.
Funny how I know nothing now
He's not coming home to me.

Try to get out of the lease
And move out of love.
If only there was only no consequence
I'd watch it all turn to dust.

Hey can I go with you, my beauty number 2?
Hey can I go with you, when the rendezvous' over? (repeats)

Obliterate the Sunday you've been cherishing all week
Obliterate the Sunday, he's a pleasure you can keep
I thought you'd let me speak today
But Esperanto's out of date
It's just another Sunday
Now Top of the Pops is dead

And if the morning gets you down
And then the evening lets you down
Obliterate the Sundays, fair play.

Obliterate the Sunday
Just keep your phone awake
Supposing wrong intentions won't make it easier to wake.

A season of illusions
A pocket full of doubts
A night of fading stars and a legacy of clouds

Obliterate the Sunday
The glass is out of reach
The heat was low, relief, you'll find a palm tree in your sleep.

Your hiding for months
Dodging the seas
You spent the day scheming
And your a houdini
Train has pulled out
Light has pulled in
A chance of escape
Come right up the street.

Obliterate the Sunday
You've been cherishing all week

Night of fading stars and a legacy of clouds

And if the morning gets you down

Obliterate the Sunday, fair play.

Dodging the seas
You spent the day scheming
And your a houdini
Train has pulled out
Light has pulled in
A chance of escape
Come right up the street

Distance versus time, cutting verses down to size.
Focus versus tears versus "How did I get here's" versus curses in your eyes.
Force of nature versus range, nature versus "That is strange."
"There's a fire starting here" versus "There's nothing to fear versus lonely versus safe.
Like a kitten versus rain.
A cathedral versus love versus shame.
Free versus out to sea, versus, versus, versus me versus me.

They heard the sound of the snow falling
They left the house, and started running
They ran past the street where they flout their lines
Where chemistries slowly redesigned
All the way, the calender froze on even number
Kat caught the tones of the cold corner
All the way, they could see it going
All the way, ist temprature, fahrenheit sanction
A transparent sound, mapping distraction
All the way, it would be forever
All the way

All the way, they heard the sound of the snow falling
They left the house and started running
Im gonna let you know when it's time to be leaving
Don't run, the same goes for company this evening
You come here, and i disappear
Some how i see something i fear
Maybe we'll make someones souvenir
All the way, they heard the sound of the snow falling
