Black Swan (2009)  

I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine
Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun
And i know you'l be the first to welcome me
When i climb into eternity
Oh,oh

Black Swan (2009)  

I never really know who you are
You could be a ghost for all i know
whenever your home
Picking up pieces of my heart
Like leaves that have fallen on our garden path

Black Swan (2009)  

The world is too heavy
Too big for my shoulders
Come take the weight off me now
Thousands of answers
To one simple question
Come take the weight off me now

Black Swan (2009)  

My heart is a stone
You don't want to go there
But I don't mind if you try

Black Swan (2009)  

You'll always be my pretty dancer
Spinning trails of fairy dust
Making moves like nobody else
On your own
If anybody needs a reason it's right here

Black Swan (2009)  

I was lost oh no
And my heart beat with the stereo
As the sun rose in your eyes
You shot a look that killed me

Black Swan (2009)  

I'm on fire,
and nothing's gonna hold me back.
Endless blue sky and a pocket full of tricks to try.

Oh you pick a colour and
i sing it for you,
i know you feel the same way
say, say
say you feel the same way. 

Your fingertips are like a superhuman touch
cant get enough of this electric love
burning the sun with just a wave of your hand.
Sparks flying out in every direction
there's more of this to come i think it must be heaven
burning the sun with just a wave of your hand

I'm on fire golden echoes upon my face
Tell those dreamers
They can dream up all they like in this place

Oh you pick a colour and I sing it for you
I know you feel the same way
Say say, say you feel the same way

Your fingertips are like a superhuman touch
Can't get enough of this electric love
Burning the sun with just a wave of your hand
Sparks flying out in every direction
There's more of this to come
I think it must be heaven 
Burning the sun with just a wave of your hand

And just one day like this will keep me going on
Tender kisses will keep me going on
Ooooh

Your fingertips are like a superhuman touch
Can't get enough of this electric love
Burnin the sun with just a wave of your hand
Sparks flying out in every direction
There's more of this to come
I think it must be heaven
Burnin the sun with just a wave of your hand

It seems all hell has broken lose
it couldnt be more beautiful,
i just want to burn the sun with you

the messed up garden to inspire
the greates minds in all of power
i just want to burn the sun with you
in just a wave of your hand.

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

It's not your fault
You didn't see it coming
90 miles an hour
gone so fast and now you're left with nothing
at all.

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

Take my hand
It'll be alright
We'll get drunk on each other ohhhh
It might take us a long long time
To ever understand why ohhhh

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

Let's fall in love again
Tap the windows
And rescue our friends
How long til this makes sense
oh, oh

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

We can walk in straight lines
We can't see quite right
We've lost the plot
And we can't get it back
So lets lose ourselves
Lets lose ourselves

"The Outsiders" Live 

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

Do you know what your fighting for
Well let's fight, let's fight.
Do you know what we're asking for
Cause i don't sometimes

I just wanna kick off at something
Go to town and then make a scene
We're not sure what were fighting for
but we'll fight

And just wanna give you something that i haven't got
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark
I'm not making any sense
I'm not making any sense
I mess up but don't forget
that this is what I sound like
this is what I sound like
just to remind myself
that this is what I sound like

I was lost in a hotel bar I was lost, I was lost
Is someone out there just laughing at us
cause it seems that way

Stop at nothing to get what we want
Too young to realize
we're all the same
I was lost in a hotel bar
I was lost

And just wanna give you something that i haven't got
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark
I'm not making any sense
I'm not making any sense
I mess up but don't forget
that this is what I sound like
this is what I sound like
just to remind myself
that this is what I sound like

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

All the places we grew up,
We're playing hide and seek,
Disappearing wall when you'll sleep

Is it something we gotta get used to?
Is it something we gotta get used to? whoa.

Hurricane.
Oh hurricane.

All the millions that we marched with
It never made a sound, never made a sound on your lips.

Is it something we gotta get used to?
But we're not giving up the coastline so easily.

Oh hurricane.
Oh hurricane.

I don't wanna run,
I've been here since I was young
Whoa this city day could be gone within the hour.

Oh hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?
Oh hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?

Oh hurricane!

Is it something we gotta get used to? (x2)
and it's something we gotta get used to..
and we're not giving up the coastline so easily.

Oh hurricane!

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

I am Tokyo
I am here
I am blazing lights
on your street.

I'm an upstart
Bound to cross you
I'm the hypocrite
By your side

She won't forget
And I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we want out something
and where something heart

I am Tokyo
I am here
I am neon signs
on your street

I'm an army
of winter vines
Marching over your countryside

And she won't forget
And I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we ruined something
And where something heart.

There's never enough time
Only, only
glove off, something bridge.

Pin prick to the heart
Can it go
I meant every spark

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we ruined something
And where something heart.

We're burning thru town
Like there's nothing to lose
Cause we something
something by heart... oh!

Beyond The Neighborhood (2007)  

He sees the flames in her tears
Sketching on her skin and he knows
That it's come to an end
And it's no point pretending it's not

Tourist (2005)

The European air
It always warms my face
I wish I could buy some

I will bring you stories
And bleary eyed photos
Like a regular tourist

We don't go breaking down
I feel like nothing ever will
We don't go breaking down
I feel like nothing

Suitcases down our street
Are rolling once again
I roll away with them

Five days inside Zoo York
To lose myself with friends
I'm nowhere without you

We don't go breaking down
I feel like nothing ever will
We don't go breaking down
I feel like nothing ever will
We don't go breaking down
I feel like nothing

Just want to be with you my baby
Just want to be with you my baby
Just want to be with you my baby
Just want to be with you my baby

I'm counting up the cost of time
And we'll embrace our time away
We cannot save ourselves alone
Or rely on a mobile phone

Tourist (2005)

You got wires going in
You got wires coming out of your skin
You got tears making tracks
I've got tears that are scared of the facts

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here in a plastic box
I see Christmas lights reflect in your eyes

You got wires going in
You got wires coming out of your skin
There's dry blood on your wrist
Your dry blood on my fingertip

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now you would never know

I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
All right

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here in a plastic box
I see Christmas lights reflect in your eyes

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now you would never know

Tourist (2005)

People rushing left to right
There's pretty faces left to right
I'm just frozen staring into space

Faster than the speed of light
I'm holding on I'm holding tight
Cause stars are gonna crash into this place

And it's caught wide screen so we don't miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear

Cause all I waited for is, Closing in
Still got twenty four hours
We're closing in
Still got twenty four hours

This is more than daily bread
It's three degrees, it's something else
And you just take it all into your stride
Couldn't be an accident cause I can't see no ambulance
I know that we will work it out this time

And it's caught wide screen so we don't miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear

Cause all I waited for is, closing in
Still got twenty four hours
Now we're closing in
Still got twenty four hours

Closing in
Still got twenty four hours
now we're closing in
Still got twenty four hours

It's not over
It's not over
still got twenty four hours

It's not over
It's not over yet
Still got twenty four hours

1. 10 - Twenty Four Hours.mp3

잡지광고에서도 보고 아무튼 오래전부터 알고있던 밴드.
개인적으로 2003년작 Vehicles & Animals 앨범을 더 좋아했었는데
무심코 케이블방송에서 'Twenty Four Hours' 뮤직비디오를 보고
한동안 푹빠져있던 기억이 난다. 난 이런 밴드활동을 담은 뮤직비디오가 좋더라.
영국 앨범차트 1위답게 Tourist 앨범은 들을수록 더 좋아지는 것 같다.

Tourist (2005)

Sun got stuck, as it's making its way back down
We find ourselves, in a familiar part of town
And all that I've seen means nothing to me, without you

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it
Tell the sun to start moving again
The taste of your kiss I've still got on my lips
And I'll take you there with me

Head crashed down, air condition myself to sleep
A great night out, that will continue to the end of the week
And all that I've seen means nothing to me, without you

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it
Tell the sun to start moving again
The taste of your kiss I've still got on my lips
And I'll take you there with me

It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me and love through a machine
It's you and me connected to a satellite
It's you and me and love through a machine

So when I see you next we'll make the most of it
Tell the sun to start moving again
The taste of your kiss I've still got on my lips
And I'll take you there with me

Tourist (2005)

Out of energy
I don't know what to do with myself
Made it eventually
And now I'm resting on the very last breath

All I needed was this one
To get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised
There was no time to waste
There was soul all around me
Everybody let go
It wasn't long before we realised
There was no time to waste

Like I'm eleven again
I was the highest kid in the world
Reached a point with no end
Just looking out so I can take it all in

All I needed was this one
To get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised
There was no time to waste
There was soul all around me
Everybody let go
It wasn't long before we realised
There was no time to waste
All I needed was this one
To get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised
There was no time to waste

I thank you for soul
No point unless you got soul
This world has got to have soul
Looking around for your soul
Digging down to your soul
I found out you got soul
Holding out all your soul
Lifting up all your soul
I thank you for soul

1. 06 - If I Found Out.mp3

Tourist (2005)

I would like to think our paths are straight
Disconnected from choices we make
That there is no reason why it can't be like you said

One day it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

I would like someone to make a map
Mark my home and draw some lines that match
All of the reasons why
It can be like you said

One day it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

I don't know when
I don't know why
I don't know when
I don't know why

One day it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

But all that I know is it's gonna happen
I don't know when
I'll be on your street
But I know one day it's gonna happen
You're gonna be swept off your feet

 

Tourist (2005)

Switch on the light, between each other
Elevated to your side, Now I'm nervous
It's time to tell you honestly, so we can alter history

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

Plastic flowers that fight for colour
Shadows floating on the ground, that always follow
Like international acclaim, it comes and goes never the same

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

And I will run with it
And sunlight will break into my eyes
And it seems like you plugged the world in
‘cause sunlight is streaming from your eyes

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are, first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

Let's take our time, it won't change over night
We got a chance we didn't have before
Let's take our time, it won't change over night
We got a chance we didn't have before

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone I know
You are the first on my list,
When everything is shown up for what it is

Tourist (2005)

Take all your chances while you can
Never know when they'll pass you by
Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over

If I had the chance to start again
Then you would be the one I'd come and find
Like the poster of Berlin on my wall
Maybe there's a chance our walls might fall

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
I've no idea 'cause
I can't calculate
How to start again
How to start again
How to start again
How to start again
It's all about you

Vehicles & Animals (2003)

Oh no, gone and put my foot in it again
Think back, can't believe that it was me who said that
Last time, I promised I'd bite my tongue until I counted to ten

I said, oh it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it
Making the most of the true British climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I've seen the tension on the high street growing lately
Seems that you have to be careful who you look at
Sometimes I can't see things the way you see them
But this is our home

I said, oh it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it
Making the most of the true British climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
And they got the style
And everybody's got it

And you got the style
And we got the style
Oh oh

Oh, it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh, we could be laughing about it
Making the most of the true British climate
Oh, it's getting hot in here
Must be something in the atmosphere
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Vehicles & Animals  (2003)

It's time to tear this place down
I've got the last gig on my mind
Not seen my friends in ages
Have I been left behind?
It's time to figure out why
I find myself in custody
With each and every question
Words come so easily

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

It's time to start all over
Take only one thing spare to wear
Head for the check-in lights and
Get up into the air
It's time to take new measures
Someone will put us up tonight
Far from our place of rest I've
Almost got you in sight

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

First class and big hotels
(I can't quite put my finger on it)
Videos and global sales
(I can't quite put my finger on it)
"Free" drinks that you pay yourself
(I can't quite put my finger on it)

Fly to El Salvador
I don't know why and I don't know what for
I've seen the picture for myself
Where did that label go?
I tried it out but it didn't work so
I'll choose the picture for myself

Vehicles & Animals  (2003)

You are loved and you know you are
Yeah you know, you know, you know you are
And you know, you know, you know you are
You'll endure and you know you will
Yeah you know, you know, you know you will
And you know, you know, you know you will

But you can't count it on your fingers
'Cause there's more than you think
You can't use your head to figure
'Cause there's much too much
For our little minds to deal with
So let's get it up

You will reap and you know you will
Yeah you know, you know, you know you will
And you know, you know, you know you will

But please don't every try to
Count it on your fingers 'cause there's more than you think
You can't use your head to figure 'cause there's much too much
For our little minds to deal with so let's get it up

But you can't count it on your fingers
'Cause there's more than you think (just try)
You can't use your head to figure (yeah yeah)
'Cause there's much too much (yeah)
For our little minds to deal with so let's get it up

One two three
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody
Give it up, lift your hands, everybody

Seven out of twenty-one knocked down
Now only fourteen left to go
I didn't know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I've had much time
Jetlag all around me voices calling
Saying please don't go away
Last thing I remember drifting down this tunnel
Was bright light ahead

Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

Seven out of twenty-one knocked down
Now only fourteen left to go
I didn't know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I've had much time
Jetlag all around me voices calling
Saying please don't go away
Last thing I remember drifting down this tunnel
Was bright light ahead

Then when I came around
Somebody helped me to my feet
And said I can't believe you're still alive
I've seen twenty other people in the last half an hour
Who've been hit right between the eyes
Seems that somebody some where's on a mission to protect you
Knowing that you should have survived
Hurrah, hurrah, HURRAH
We're still alive

Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there

It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
Out of nowhere

Vehicles & Animals  (2003)

It's the simple things like the robots Stevie G draws
And the ease with which we seem to pull those tricks
There are moments of escape for every one of us
And the beauty in the times that we create

I saw you smiling....
And I need my vehicles and animals
And I will be alright
Take me back to nineteen seventy nine
So I can find my open eyes

He can play all by himself for many hours
I have never seen a kid who's so content
There is nothing from the outside that can touch him
'Cause he's just learning how to be alone with one

I saw you smiling....
And I need my vehicles and animals
And I will be alright
Take me back to nineteen seventy nine
So I can find my open eyes
And I need my vehicles and animals
And I will be alright
Take me back to nineteen seventy nine
So I can find my open eyes

Lying down on my bed
I just got another kick to the head
Oh yeah you're a part of me
Yet another branch on the family tree
Salt on my fingers salt in my cuts
Salt on my face and salt in my guts
It's been a battle but we've come through OK
Stop what you're doing and play

'Cause we've got our vehicles and animals so
We're gonna be alright
There's no need for us to go back in time
Because we've found our open eyes

We've got our vehicles and animals
So we're gonna be alright
There's no need for us to go back in time
Because we've found our open eyes
