Blue Grin 05:57
lyrics

Once more on a roll I'm looking for something Unable to waste Always ready to taste Too tired to be Pathetically lonely Too eager to get An illusion of happiness Once more I've got no home And I'm looking for someone To give me shelter and warmth 'Cause I'm cold to the bone (Don't know what stops me roam) Somewhere I belong But that place is a secret For everyone And, alas, it's unknown to me Again and again and again You catch my wrist in your hand Again and again and again I grin a blue grin 'Cause you're deaf to my heart You can't bother me less Than you're meant to bother I can't be what you want Always pleasure and smile (My temples ache when I try to fake) I'm not going to change That's not in my power No matter for you Or for anyone else to come Why stopping me go Why holding me tighter (You can't take me the right way) Why cling to my eyes Why pretend you know me? (You can't take me the right way) To someone I belong To the others I'm nothing (You can't take me the right way) I know you are not What I want for myself this time Again and again and again You catch my wrist in your hand Again and again and again I grin a blue grin 'Cause I'm deaf to your heart You're nothing special to me No matter what you want Like it or not We're nothing but you and me And it is clear we can't be A melted we Again and again and again You catch my wrist in your hand Again and again and again I grin a blue grin 'Cause you're deaf to my heart Again and again and again (You're nothing special to me No matter what you want Like it or not) You catch my wrist in your hand Again and again and again (We're nothing but you and me And it is clear we can't be A melted we) I grin a blue grin 'Cause you're deaf to my heart

I've got a new place for smoking I've got a new bed to sleep My new skirts are more provoking My tights aren't cheap New houses, new doors, and new windows Are opening and closing for me All for me Just for me They fling open Got plenty of new streets to walk through And a dozen of new shops at hand New taxis, new drivers to talk to But they don't understand Why don't I remember the number Of my house and the name of my lane I tell you what I tell, I tell you what You're worth living, but things I have are not I tell you what I tell, I tell you what There's nothing so constant, it chokes me like a slipknot I'm changing my life for ages I'm changing my place for years The people around are strangers The strangest are queers They'll wither away, I guess, someday But I don't care for them if you stay Please, stay I tell you what I tell, I tell you what You're worth living, but things I have are not I tell you what I tell, I tell you what There's nothing so constant, it chokes me like a slipknot I tell you what Stay I tell you what Stay I tell you what Stay I tell you what Stay All I've got dissolves the next day What's to be done? Don't know what's to come Something new appears the next day Everything ends And yet I wish you could delay I tell you what I tell, I tell you what You're worth living, but things I have are not I tell you what I tell, I tell you what There's nothing so constant, it chokes me like a slipknot All I've got dissolves the next day What's to be done? Don't know what's to come Something new appears the next day Everything ends And yet I wish you could delay

Fixing Kiss 04:47
lyrics

Woke up, shower, danced at the mirror Soothed my breasts with aroma gel Checked my feet for hair, midday nearer I'm too nervous. Why the hell? Kettle boiling, wardrobes wide open Skirts and bras messed on the bed Brake for a smoke (Damn the lighter, it's broken) Made an 'o', my lips pale red My mascara's too old, too thick, fading Eye-bags, shit! The cheek's skin dry Spread some cream, my hot coffee waiting Bread and butter, milk denied Face toned, eye-lashes brushed, got the shivers Rushing naked to and fro I'm getting late, time checked when opening the front door Each time we kiss You fix me tenderly Ultimately Each time we kiss You take me whole, and I'm safe We get what we crave Bus, tube, taxi, a smoke on the front seat It started snowing, I take haste Kneels got cold, I watch but cannot see Through the window, all looks erased Paid the taxi, got out (It's so windy) Someone calling on the phone That's not you, and I keep repeating Slipknot's "Circle" on my own You're here, I know, you've waited for so long I can feel your thoughts so near In the crowd they taste like solo Each and all of them I hear A moment's search, and there I can see you My glance is caught, our smiles cohere I got late, but anyway now I am here Each time we kiss You fix me tenderly Ultimately Each time we kiss You take me whole, and I'm safe We get what we crave Each time we kiss You fix me tenderly Ultimately Each time we kiss You take me whole, and I'm safe We get what we crave Every time we kiss it's like we're Drunken of the sweetest wine And the only reason why Is I am yours, and you are mine Every time we kiss it's like we're Drunken of the sweetest wine And the only reason why Is I am yours, and you are mine When we kiss When we kiss Each time we kiss You fix me tenderly Ultimately Each time we kiss You take me whole, and I'm safe We get what we crave Each time we kiss You fix me tenderly Ultimately Each time we kiss You take me whole, and I'm safe We get what we crave Each time we kiss You take me whole, and I'm safe Each time we kiss You take me whole, and I'm safe When we kiss

Sort Out 03:55

I open my eyes into the dark Of a bleak night I open the window And enjoy the wind touching my cheeks I bet it comes from afar But I can't figure out from where It comes with a secret message That's dedicated only to me Take haste Sort out your life before erased You know you have all the time All the time till you die It wipes the leaves off the ground And deletes the clouds high above It brushes the dust away The dust of those are gone It dries all my tears, but again It keeps me weeping inside It pats my heart with a chill And then it whispers to me Take haste Sort out your life before erased You know you have all the time All the time till you die Take haste Sort out your life before erased You know you have all the time All the time till you die

Omitted 04:04

The day tastes like I can't fit it And tells me I'm out of line The things that I have permitted (To you) Are ignored, so I'm left behind And I'll never ask you Why couldn't we rhyme? You're self-centered all the time I've been wading through the night Devious, waiting, I'm omitted, declined and denied Why so timid, why so blind? Got a suspect, got a feeling we never confide You touch me like I'm contagious Like I am a fragile vase I wait for your kiss for ages And stay awake just in case I don't need to ask you Why don't we rhyme You're self-centered all the time I've been wading through the night Devious, waiting, I'm omitted, declined Make me happy, be so kind I crave your passion but you're making me lonely inside Lying here I feel omitted and cold Don't you care About me? Aching here I feel omitted and cold I guess you don't ever care So get omitted in return I feel omitted and cold I feel omitted and cold I feel omitted and cold I've been wading through the night Devious, waiting, I'm omitted, declined and denied Why so timid, why so blind? Got a suspect, got a feeling we never confide I've been wading through the night Devious, waiting, I'm omitted, declined Make me happy, be so kind I crave your passion but you're making me lonely inside I feel omitted I feel omitted and cold I feel omitted I'll better get out for a smoke

Home 05:59

Late at night, I watch the cars Quickly passing by Several people on their way Driving somewhere Some are happy, some are not Some are hollow Some lost something they had got Others seized something Old and young, men and women Quickly drive somewhere To the silent horizon Till they vanish And the moment they are gone I'll be thinking All of them are going home Each to his own home I'm drained and so vacant now I cannot explain it My heart is so naked that I feel it bleed At once I am drained of life I'm dying on my own Can anyone save me here? And tell me where's my home? Precious life is what I've got But still, it is of no good Cause I don't belong to anywhere To anything or anyone here My precious soul is full of woe Cause no-one equals to me I've left my home once upon a long ago And roam for centuries Eyes and faces, smiles and tears Quickly pass me by To the silent horizon Till they vanish And the moment they are gone I'll be thinking All of them are going home Each to his own home I'm drained and so vacant now I cannot explain it My heart is so naked that I feel it bleed At once I am drained of life I'm dying on my own Can anyone save me here? And tell me where's my home? All I need and pray for Is a little drop of power To hold on my way Day after day O, my God, give me strength To forgive my enemies As you forgive me Every day I'll walk through the tempest now (To my home) And fight through the fire (To my home) I'll take every test you give (To my home) And carry on Someday you will lay me down (To my home) You'll silence my heartbeat (To my home) And take me away from here (To my home) To my only home I'll walk through the tempest now And fight through the fire (To my home) I'll take every test you give And carry on (To my home) Someday you will lay me down You'll silence my heartbeat (To my home) And take me away from here To my only home (To my home) All I need and pray for Is a little drop of power To hold on my way Day after day

Morning Dance 04:58

You came in the morning So young and fragile All pretty and soaring Like you were a child So gently you smiled You were twenty-seven Not older, I guess Your eyes were like heaven No trace of a stress Or unhappiness You said 'Good morning, daughter The sky is bright and clear And I am glad we are here' You said 'Good morning, daughter You're safe 'cause I am near And you've got nothing to fear' Sunbeams fell From high above Birds flew around When you danced in the light You smiled tenderly and said You never died Fresh wind blew The sea was blue And calm as you Laughed and danced in the light Then gently you smiled and said You never died How come I think You're no more among The living? Sure you are How come I think You are gone and We're no more to meet? The rose's sweet odor Melted with the breeze It's taking me over It brings me contentment and peace We talk of the future Enjoying the now Our feelings are mutual And I'm cured somehow From every flaw I said 'Good morning, mother So glad to see you, dear Don't vanish, don't disappear' I said 'Good morning, mother You're safe 'cause I am near And you've got nothing to fear' Sunbeams fell From high above Birds flew around When you danced in the light You smiled tenderly and said You never died Fresh wind blew The sea was blue And calm as you Laughed and danced in the light Then gently you smiled and said You never died You're so beautiful and young Dancing in the sun And the sweetest day had just begun There's a lot to be done How come I think You're no more among The living? Sure you are How come I think You are gone and We're no more to meet? Sunbeams fell From high above Birds flew around When you danced in the light You smiled tenderly and said You never died Fresh wind blew The sea was blue And calm as you Laughed and danced in the light Then gently you smiled and said You never died You never died

Open your eyes You were always deaf and blind to me Open your mind Spin it around to find the truth Before you leave without a trace I'm everything you'll never be That's not my fault you cannot see That face to face we haven't got a thing to say You call me But I'll never ever come You call me Cuz I don't know where I belong Don't ask me why I bury our future with my past Don't ask me how I manage not to bitch about everything We wanted and thought we'll reach Though we could but never will You're everything I'll never be That's not your fault I cannot see That face to face we haven't got a thing to say You call me (You call me back) But I'll never ever come (You call me back) You call me (You call me back) Cuz I don't know where I belong You call me (You call me back) But I'll never ever come (You call me back) You call me (You call me back) Cuz I don't know where I belong What do you say? (What do you say?) I bet I cannot hear you Through the cold, I'm vacant in my misery I don't know (I don't know) Whatever you're expecting I'm so scared I'm scarcely me Yet I can feel You call me (Don't) You call me (Don't) You call me (Don't) You call me (Don't, don't) (Don't, don't, don't call me, don't, don't) You call me (You call me again) But I'll never ever come You call me (You call me again) Cuz I don't know where I belong You call me (You call me again) But I'll never ever come You call me (You call me again and again) Cuz I don't know where I belong You call me (Don't call me again) You call me (Don't call me again) You call me (Don't call me again) But I'll never ever come

Your features are blue My nerves are on end No need to lie, no chance to pretend Try finding a clue To what's never said Why don't you ever bother? You've tried someone else But now you taste me Is that the taste of our destiny? Through every word By every move I'm asking, "Do you need me?" Here's the Fall Coming from nowhere Breathing close when I fall Into the nowhere Of your warming embrace Into the bitter lack Of you, so the cold wind throws Rain in my face You're breathing me in I'm breathing you out Each glance is so extremely loud The warmth is so thin My tears start to shout When unreleased they're buried Somewhere in the deep We strive to cohere We're getting closer, we're getting near Through every wish By every will Yet I'm unsure you bother Here's the Fall Coming from nowhere Breathing close when I fall Into the nowhere Of your chilling embrace Into the bitter lack Of you. So the cold wind throws Rain in my face My eyelids Are sky-lit I start to roam When alone You caught hold Of my world Through the cold I start to roam (Cold) I start to roam (Cold) I start to roam (Cold) I start to roam (Cold) I start to roam (Cold) When I'm alone Here's the Fall Coming from nowhere Breathing close when I fall Into the nowhere Of your chilling embrace Into the bitter lack Of you, so the cold wind throws Rain in my face Here's the Fall Bringing us somewhere We are one when we fall Into the magic Of the gloaming we share Into a curing tide Where nothing else matters But we in the glare Of love

I don't bother if you're normal You don't bother if I'm straight Don't bother if I sleep with another Cuz I don't bother if you wait You don't bother if I blame you I don't bother if you sin You don't bother if I save you From an itch under your skin All my words will never tell you How I feel and taste this time Lately, everything is changing, Lately, I am nothing like me Lately, I wish you would bother Just a little bother for me You don't bother if I'm no houri I don't bother if you ain't dyke You don't bother if I don't hurry To be the only one you'll like But when your heart is sick with illness And when I get a little queer Why don't bother 'bout me feelings When our lips are getting near? Getting near Getting nearer Lately, everything is changing Lately, I am nothing like me Lately, I wish you would bother Just a little bother for me Something's happened, something's wrong this day Cuz I know I will bother if you don't stay Something differs, and no longer I'm the same It feels like I'm slightly mad and you're gone insane I begin to bother if you're normal You begin to bother if I'm straight Now I bother if you sleep with another Cuz only for your touch I wait Suddenly you bother if I'm a houri Suddenly I bother if you're a dyke And all of a sudden I'm in a hurry To be the only one you'll like I don't bother if we get nearer Lately, everything is changing Lately, I am nothing like me Lately, I wish you would bother Just a little bother for me Lately, everything is changing Lately, I am nothing like me Lately, I wish you would bother Just a little bother for me You don't bother if we get nearer

Where is Jane? Head among the buttercups Walking by the stream Head among the buttercups Where is Jane? Walking with her dame Lost in a dream Lost among the buttercups What has she got In that curly brown head? Wonderful thoughts that can never be said What has she got In that firm little fist of hers? Somebody's hand and it feels like Jennifer's Unhappily In the end of the day A couple of bastards stepped Into their way Wanted to fuck them And when the girls refused the screw They've beaten them down And raped them hard upon the ground Just resist, hold on, survive You must resist, got to survive Just resist, hold on, survive You must resist, got to survive You've gotta get up (Resist) You've gotta get up (Hold on) You've gotta get up (Survive) You've gotta get up (Get up) Where is Jane? Close to her dame Brown head, gold head Bleeding in the buttercups But once again Jennifer and Jane Will walk around, hand in hand In and out the buttercups

I can never emulate That I'm in love when I hate And I'm not goin' to give you hope Because you really miss I know you wanna suck my face And I know you wanna suck my soul But I won't let you just in case You strive to get me whole It's time to save me from your sins And I swear I'll save you from mine When love is gone the hurt begins Our eyes will never ever rhyme So call it luck or call it fate It's neither early nor too late To let go of everything we had Forget me, we're no longer mad Don't breathe on my hair 'cause I turn to silk Don't breath on my neck 'cause I turn to milk Don't breath on my cheeks 'cause I'll melt like wax Don't breathe on my feet 'cause I'll collapse Fading in and out You will never make me doubt I'm not the one for you I know for sure it's true Memories disappear With my whisper that you hear I'll fade into the dark And gently slip away I'm silk You'll never see me anymore And never touch me like before You'll never ever find a way To trace me through the wind It's time to save you from my charms It's time to leave, time to unlock our arms Time to forget, time for a rush Time to wake up, time for a push Don't breathe on my hair 'cause I turn to silk Don't breath on my neck 'cause I turn to milk Don't breath on my cheeks 'cause I'll melt like wax Don't breathe on my feet 'cause I'll collapse Fading in and out You will never make me doubt I'm not the one for you I know for sure it's true Memories disappear With my whisper that you hear I'll fade into the dark And gently slip away I'm silk Fading in and out You will never make me doubt I'm not the one for you I know for sure it's true Memories disappear With my whisper that you hear I'll fade into the dark And gently slip away I'm silk Don't breathe on my hair 'cause I turn to silk Don't breath on my neck 'cause I turn to milk Don't breath on my cheeks 'cause I'll melt like wax Don't breathe on my feet 'cause I'll collapse

Your lack of hope Is my heart annihilation A lack of pain Is not the thing I feel You try to be But stay the one you were before me And finally I can hardly take it all I can't escape it Can't run away I'm so happy that I can love, but sometimes It's a pity I do I've grown unguarded I've grown so weak There is no-one to save me from The ache that eats me No-one ever could save you, my love No lack of dope The endorphin is overwhelming us But my tears get thicker And thicker when the chill takes me over I try to go away but stay I try to be But something rips your heart to pieces (I feel the same) And finally You can hardly take it all I can't escape it Can't run away I'm so happy that I can love, but sometimes It's a pity I do I've grown unguarded I've grown so weak There is no-one to save me from The ache that eats me No-one ever could save you, my love Losing control Losing numbness Off guard, feeling Love is a pain-bringer Getting weaker Getting stronger Giving, living Love is a painkiller I can't escape it Can't run away I'm so happy that I can love, but sometimes It's a pity I do I've grown unguarded I've grown so weak There is no-one to save me from The ache that eats me No-one ever could, save you, my love Getting weaker Getting stronger (No-one ever could save you, my love) Getting nearer Getting stronger (No-one ever could save you, my love) My love

about

The original "I Tell You What" album was written, recorded and produced between Fall 2007 and spring 2009. A significant amount of work was actually done within that 2-month period that I lived out of a basement in spring 2008. It was a strange time but that's why this release includes 27 rare photos from that basement. It's a vibe!

This release also includes an acoustic version of "Sort Out" recorded in 2012.

The only thing done to this original album in 2020 was some mixing and mastering.
