A japanese dream

I'm going back to the land of the blind
Back to the land where the sun never shines
I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find
Everything just as it was before
I left it all behind

I slept at nights there hysterically
Twisted and turned
But I just couldn't get free
Opened my eyes
But I still couldn't see
But I could feel her...
China white girl

So I get down on the floor
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey

Mmmmmm...
That was a Japanese dream alright
The sound of the storm
And the flickering light
And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like...
Like her scent used to fill up the night

So I get down on the floor
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey

Just look at me now
Just look at me this way
It looks like I am quite insane
It looks like I am trying to eat off my face
It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway...

Back where the sun never shines
Back to the land of the blind
Back in a Japanese dream

 

A japanese dream


Breathe

Breathe
Breathe on me
Be like you used to be
Breathe on me

Move in me
Be like you used to be
Move in me
Move in me

Be with me
Be like you used to be
With me
With me

 


Breathe

Respira
Respira en mi
Sé como solías ser
Respira en mi

Muévete en mi
Sé como solías ser
Muévete en mi
Muévete en mi

Estate conmigo
Sé como solías ser
Conmigo
Conmigo


A chain of flowers

Please wake up
It's so dark and cold
Please wake up
I feel so alone
And I feel so scared
That you're going away
And I feel so scared...

All I want is summer
Stories from before
Just like the day you tried to hide
Behind the churchyard wall
And fell asleep before I came...

I found you
In a chain of flowers
Sleeping like a marble girl
Sleeping in another world...

I'll never tell you
Of all the different ways
You make me so afraid...

 


A chain of flowers


Snow in summer

High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your deep green heart
I drink you as I swim
And I'm sliding
And I'm sliding with you
Slide beneath my skin

Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You open up in me
Just like the snow in summer

High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your soft white heart
I drink you as I swim
And I'm falling
And I'm falling with you
Fall beneath my skin

Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You come
And close in me
Just like the snow in summer

Just like the snow in summer
As it melts
Into the sea

 


Snow in summer


Sugar girl

Oh I wish I could find it funny
You laughing like that
But instead I change into a rage
And run around
Without a face...
I wish I could find it funny
When you never came back
But I don't suppose I'll ever know
The how to keep you
Goodbye sugar girl

Goodbye sugar girl

 


Sugar girl


Icing sugar (weird remix)

You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in
Icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly
Blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft
And gently breathing
Under your skin

Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be
As empty
As a boy can be

 


Icing sugar (weird remix)

Eres deliciosa
Soñando
Con la mandíbula caida
Ojos verdes
Frota mi nariz
En azúcar derretida
Suave
Cuando está fría y mortal
Navaja
Besó la fruta
Tan suave
Y tan dócilmente respirando
Bajo tu piel

Oh te vaciaré
Te vaciaré
Te dejaré tan vacía como un chico puede
Tan vacía
Como un chico puede


Hey you!!! (kevorkian 12" remix)

Hey you!
Yes you...
Yes you the one that looks like Christmas...
Come over here and kiss me
Kiss me!!!

Hey you!
Yes you...
Yes you the one that looks delirious...
Come over here and kiss me
Kiss me!!!

 


Hey you!!! (kevorkian 12" remix)

¡Eh tú!
Sí tú...
Sí tú el que parece Navidad...
Ven aquí y bésame
¡¡¡Bésame!!!

¡Eh tú!
Sí tú...
Sí tú el que parece delirar...
Ven aquí y bésame
¡¡¡Bésame!!!


How beautiful you are (clearmountain 7" remix)

You want to know why I hate you?
Well I'll try and explain...

You remember that day in Paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'd always think the same
And dreamed that dream
To be two souls as one

And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Outside a glittering building
Of glittering glass and burning light...

And in the road before us
Stood a weary greyish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The father's eyes said "Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said
"How beautiful!
She shimmers like a star!"
The child's eyes uttered nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are

I turned to look at you
To read my thought upon your face
And gazed so deep into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Until you spoke
And showed me understanding is a dream
"I hate these people staring
Make them go away from me!"

The father's eyes said "Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said
"How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"
The child's eyes uttered nothing
But quiet and utter joy
And stilled my heart with sadness
For the way we are...

And this is why I hate you
And how I understand
That no-one ever knows or loves another
Or loves another

 


How beautiful you are (clearmountain 7" remix)

¿Quieres saber por qué te odio?
Bueno intentaré explicártelo...

Recuerdas aquel día en París
Cuando deambulábamos a través de la lluvia
Y nos prometimos uno a otro
Que siempre pensaríamos lo mismo
Y soñaríamos ese sueño
De ser dos almas como una

Y nos detuvimos justo cuando el sol se ponía
Y esperamos la noche
Fuera de un luminoso edificio
De cristales luminosos y luz incandescente...

Y en la calle anterior a la nuestra
Estaba un hombre cansado y gris
Que llevaba a un chico sobre su espalda
Y a un niño de la mano
Los tres estaban vestidos con harapos
Y eran más delgados que el aire
Y los seis ojos te miraban fijamente

Los ojos del padre decían "¡Hermosa!
¡Qué hermosa eres!"
Los ojos del chico decían
"¡Qué hermosa!
¡Brilla como una estrella!"
Los ojos del niño no decían nada
Salvo una silenciosa y total alegría
Y mi corazón se llenó de vergüenza por nosotros
Por ser así como somos

Me di la vuelta para mirarte
Y leer mis pensamientos en tu cara
Y observé profundamente en tus ojos
Tan hermosos y extraños
Hasta que hablaste
Y me mostraste que la comprensión es un sueño
"Odio esta gente que se queda mirando
¡Aléjalos de mi!"

Los ojos del padre decían "¡Hermosa!
¡Qué hermosa eres!"
Los ojos del chico decían
"¡Qué hermosa! ¡Brilla como una estrella!"
Los ojos del niño no decían nada
Salvo una silenciosa y total alegría
Y llenaron mi corazón de pena
Por ser como somos...

Y éste es el motivo por el que te odio
Y ahora comprendo
Que nadie nunca jamás conoce o ama a alguien
O ama a alguien


To the sky

One perfect morning I was all alone
Listening to the blaze of summer
Drifting
I was falling
I was floating in a golden haze
Breathing in the sky blue sounds
Of memories of other days

And in my dreams I was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And I was floating through the colours of a sky
Up to the stars and angels

Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever

Turning in my climb
I looked down on a lake
And traced upon the water there
I saw your face
And sang in recollection
Of the times we shared...
Then pushed on ever upward
To the sky

And in my dreams I was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And I was floating through the colours of a sky
Up to the stars and angels

Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever

 


To the sky


Babble

Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever moves
I swim around in circles
In the same old lifeless room
And talk about the mirror man
The whispers in my ear again
The hot and sticky pillow man
Is smothering my face again

Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever moves
And I run around hysterical
In dead persistent gloom
And babble out in simile
Like dog-head-monkey-music me
Shut up shut up shut up shut up
Shut up!!!
And let me breathe...

 


Babble


Out of mind

I've been up for days
And I feel like a menagerie
I'm scratching 'til I bleed
And I keep on seeing
Imaginary lemurs
In the street
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can breathe
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be alright
I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight
I'm out of sight

I've been up for days
And I feel like a laboratory rat
Inside a maze
And I reel in the monotony of
Screaming
At the moon
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can see it
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be fine
I'm out of sight
I'm completely out of mind
Completely out of mind

OK
Alright
Come and watch me shake tonight
Mouth wide
Soft and bright
Bite my hand and scream
OK
Alright
Come and watch me break tonight
Push deep
Out of sight
Bite my hand and hold on tight...

 


Out of mind


2 late

So I'll wait for you
Where I always wait
Behind the signs that sell the news
I'll watch for you like yesterday
And hope for you
One day that once
Spent out on me
And up 'til late
I search for you
Your hat pushed straight
Away from me
Your measured step
Heads up you win
Always too late

If I could just once catch your eye
Invisible against the words
That hold you down in solitude
And never let you go
The way that every time
My eyes just close
Like lids of wooden men in file
I put you under rainy day
Your hat's all off
And I'm gone away...

 


2 late


Fear of ghosts

Like a feeling that I'm down
Deep inside my heart
Like I'm looking out through
Splitting blood red
Windows in my heart
From a higher up than heaven
And a harder down than stone
Shake the fear that always clawing
Pulls me clawing down alone
As I spitting splitting blood red
Breaking windows in my heart
And the past is taunting
Fear of ghosts
Is forcing me apart
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get...

I am lost again
With everything gone
And more alone
Than I have ever been
I expect you to understand
To feel it too
But I know that even if you will
You cannot ever help me
Nor can I
Ever help you

 


Fear of ghosts

Como un sentimiento de que me hundo
Profundamente dentro de mi corazón
Como si buscara a través
De astilladas ventanas
rojo sangre en mi corazón
Desde más arriba que el cielo
Y más duramente abajo que una piedra
Me sacudo el miedo que siempre araña
Me empuja arañándome solo
Mientras escupo astilladas ventanas rojo sangre
Rotas en mi corazón
Y el pasado está reprochando
El miedo a los fantasmas
me está forzando a separarme
Y como más me alejo
De las cosas que me preocupan
Menos me preocupa
Cuánto me alejo...

Estoy perdido otra vez
Con todo desaparecido
Y más solo
de lo que he estado jamás
Yo espero que tú lo entiendas
Que lo sientes también
Pero sé que aunque quisieras
Tú nunca podrás ayudarme
Ni yo nunca
podré ayudarte a tí


Hello i love you (psychedelic version)

Hello i love you (psychedelic version)

Hello i love you

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
I love you
Want you

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see you fool ?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel ?

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I need you
I need you
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?

 


Hello i love you

Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?
Hola, te amo
Déjame entrar en tu juego
Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?

Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?
Hola, te amo
Déjame entrar en tu juego
Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?
Hola, te amo
Déjame entrar en tu juego

Ella camina por la calle
Ciega a cualquier mirada ajena
¿Crees que eres tú el tipo
Para hacer suspirar a la reina de los ángeles?

Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?
Te amo
Te quiero

Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?
Hola, te amo
Déjame entrar en tu juego
Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?
Hola, te amo
Déjame entrar en tu juego

Ella mantiene su cabeza bien alta
Como una estatua en el cielo
Sus brazos son malvados y sus piernas largas
Cuando se mueve mi cerebro grita esta canción

La acera se acurruca a sus pies
Como un perro que mendiga algo dulce
Tú idiota, ¿Esperas hacerla ver?
¿Esperas coger esa joya oscura?

Hola, Hola, Hola, Hola
Te necesito
Te necesito
Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?
Hola, te amo
¿No me dirás tu nombre?

Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind
Nothing ever loses me sleep
Nothing ever wins my heart
Nothing ever makes me want to sing along
And nothing makes me want to start

If I'm falling down a mountain
Then I pick myself up
If I crash into an iceberg
I don't give a frightful look around..
If I am burning then I put myself out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Oh all the world
All inside out

Just look around...

Nothing ever puts me out
Nothing ever pulls me in
Nothing ever makes me want to jump
And nothing makes me want to begin
Nothing ever gets me down
Nothing ever gets me uptight
And nothing ever makes me run around
And nothing makes me feel I might

If I'm hanging from a peach tree
Then I cut myself down
And if I look into the sun
I just turn up the sound
And if I swallow deathcap loverooms
Then I spit them right out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Yeah all the world
Inside out

Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind

Harold and Joe
Go go go!!!
Yeah...
Sing birds sing...
