It's almost love (2006)
FOOLS
(Lysdal)
Hey my little girl
How I’d like to swirl you ‘round
‘round and ‘round
Let’s enjoy the ride
You can sit here by my side
Oh yeah
I’m a dreamer
And you’re the dream I wanna dream
When I was twentyone
Life had just begun to show
What I didn’t know
I was feeling fine and
I had my share of sunshine
But that’s some time ago
Now all I wanna know is
“Do you do you love me do you” ?
You’re a fool
I knew it from the start
Such a fool you opened up my heart
You’re a fool
You’ve got yourself to blame
And we’ll never
Never be the same – again
Hey my little girl
How I’d like to swirl you ‘round
‘round and ‘round
Let’s enjoy the ride
You can sit here by my side
Let’s be fools let’s believe in love
We’ll make a wish
Upon the stars above
Let’s be fools
And make our dreams come true
We’ll make a life
A life for me and you
Let’s be fools let’s believe in love
We’ll make a wish
Upon the stars above
Fools…….
Hey my little girl
How I’d like to swirl you ‘round
‘round and ‘round
This time
(Lysdal)
The rain is coming down
It’s allrigt allright
‘Cause everything in sight
is allright, allright
I love you like I should
I thought I never could
I found my heart again
You’re a friend a real friend
Reasons for despair
They’re all gone all gone
I know where I belong
The fear’s gone all gone
My past is on the run
But I’m still my father’s son
I’m coming back to you
Oh you oh you
I believe I believe I believe in love this time
This time it's never gonna slip away
I believe I believe I believe in love this time
This time it’s never gonna get away
I’ve been searching hard for love
In my heart there was no trace
In heaven and in space
I’ve been looking in the wrong place
But now it seems more clear
Now that your love is here
It opened up my eyes
No lies no lies
I believe I believe I believe in love
Say what you think is true
(Lysdal)
To say what you think is true
is good for your heart
It’s an exercise for your mind
for a start
But what you think is true
it changes all the time
Yesterday’s guiding star
today is less divine
Say what you think and do what you feel
It sounds like a piece of cake
But to say about yourself
what you really mean
Could in a very short time
make you less keen
And to be who you wanna be
all the time
Could make life with your companions
hard to rhyme
Doing what you really want
it could cost you your wife
Saying what you really think
it could cost your life
Just to know what you really feel
could take a lot of years
But when you’re there
say goodbye to your fears
Saying goodbye to fear
makes you strong
And the power that you feel
it’s gonna last long
Say what you think and do what you feel
Open your mind and make your life real
Trying to see yourself
as you really are
Will make you forgive
and heal your scar
OURS
(Lysdal)
Ours is the sky
Ours are the trees
Ours is the water
Ours are the seas
Ours is our mind
Ours are our dreams
And we know what’s going on
Yeah we know what’s going on
Oil in the water
Smoke in the air
Hate in the family
Blood everywhere
And we know what’s going on
And we know what we’re doing wrong
But we just pray not to be there
When it happens
Ours are the walls
Ours the polution
Ours are all the wars
Ours the solution
Ours are the children
To raise in love
Watch the children
They’re a gift from above
Yes we know that it’s true
And we know what to do
We must be brave
Look deep in our hearts
To change it, to change it
We must change it
LITTLE MISS FAITHFUL
I’ve been trying to reach
my baby by the phone
I’ve been trying to reach my baby
but she’s not home
Got a real bad notion
what’s going on
And what’s goin on’s
been going on and on
And I’ve tried this thing before
and I know my girl
She’s not the most
faithfull in the world
I hear somebody’s shouting
In the back of my mind
Are you going to put up with it
one more time
You’ve been hoping and hoping
That this would stop
You might as well be hoping
the sun stayed up
Loose your baby,
do you wannaloose your baby
when you really love her
If you choose to choose your baby
You choose to loose your mind
‘cause you know that little girl
is gonna stay just like she is
‘til the end of time
It's been going on and on
It's been going on and on
It's been going on and on
And it drives me crazy
IT'S ALMOST LOVE
(Lysdal)
It’s almost love
An almost love so true
I almost fell
I almost fell for you
Your almost blue eyes make me dizzy
And nearly all the things you say
Reminds me of a girl
I always have been longing for
In my sweet imagination
It’s almost life
An almost life so true
I’m nearly here
I’m nearly here with you
I’m almost me
An almost me so fine
Just a tiny change
And I’ll be me divine
I almost look the way I want to
And nearly all the things I say
Reminds me of a man
I always have been longing to be
in my sweet imagination
It’s almost love
An almost love so true
I almost fell
I almost fell for you
AN ANGEL OR A CLOWN
(Lysdal)
She’s not very pretty she’s not very bright
But she makes you feel good
Makes you feel you’re allright
She doesn’t get many kisses, man that’s for sure
Yeah it’s truly amazing that her soul is so pure
If you want to bring her down you can do it
A hard word, and she frowns
I saw her in a store, I was feeling real low
She melted the clock away and I just didn’t want to go
She didn’t say anything special
She didn’t do anything special
Bet she didn’t think anything special
But I was feeling at ease
If you want to make fun of her, you can do it
Just a wise-crackin’ joke and she’s done
’Cause she lives upon the mercy
from above
If you say you’ve got a problem
that really gets to you
She’ll say she understands
though she hasn’t got a clue
She says she understands
’Cause she doesn’t want to let you down
It just means that she cares
is she an angel or a clown ?
If you want to leave her, you just do it
You just say go and she’s gone
’cause ……
She’s not very pretty, she’s not very bright
But she’s a real sweet person and she’s allright
And she lives upon the mercy from above
LIKE THE FIRE LOVES THE WOOD
(Lysdal)
You’ve been telling me so many times
you need to be secure
you need to be sure
of my love
You don’t want my love for you to change
but baby we grow and change all the time
so if our love doesn’t change along
our love’s gonna be left behind
I’ll love you like
the fire loves the wood
I’ll love you like
a singer loves the silence
Complaining ’bout things ain’t what you want them to be
but that you’ve made it all yourself this you can’t see
putting the blame on God and society
you’ve been barking up the wrong tree
I can see by the way you’re walking
looking for something else
don’t think your life is good enough
tryin’ to fix things from the outside
If you want a life-guarantee
that things will never get out of hand
I hope that you will understand
that total control
will fuck up your soul
I’ll love you like
the fire loves the wood
I’ll love you like
a singer loves the silence
GONNA MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE GONE
(Lysdal)
Man I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
Raw as timber
Exquisite as a pearl
Meditating solitude
Living in a whirl
Looking like a hobo
But you’re style is outta sight
a peacelovin’ man
Who loves a good fight
You’re open as a window
closed as a clam
You've been like that since time began
You’re a perfect contradiction
But you know where you belong
Man I’m gonna miss you when you’r e gone
Who are you ?
I can’t say I know
Most people like you
you make everybody grow
You despise pretentions
‘Bout that you’re more than clear
As soon as you can smell it you go:
“Let’s get the fuck out of here”
Man I’m gonna miss you
when you’re gone
A sucker for jazz
Sometimes a pain in the ass
True to your core,
always hungry for more
You’re a perfect contradiction
But you know where you belong
Man I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
When you meet your maker
I’m pretty sure he’ll smile
He’ll appreciate your visit
And keep you for a while
Man I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
CRAZY WOMAN
(Lysdal)
I’ve been fine I’ve been down I’ve been cool
Been feeling like a genius and a fool
I’ve been hot I’ve been cold I’ve been blue
But always thought that one and one was two
I’ve been reading books I’ve traveled ‘round the world
But never met a creature like this girl.
Her point of view keep changing all the time
Impossible to find a single rhyme
“I’ve been thinking red,
but I was feeling blue
So purple is the colour it should be
Green’s too mellow and grey is too grey”
Can’t you hear what I’m saying ?
Ah she’s a woman.
I’ve been trying for a year now to find
That little golden key to her mind
But I should’ve known – I should’ve known better
She changed the lock on her heart and her door
She’s a crazy woman
She said she loved me exactly as I was
Then she left me and said it was because
She wanted me to be another man
And I was much too dumb to understand
I never ever knew why she did what she did
I’m blank as a piece of paper
I haven’t got a tiny single clue about why
Please somebody get a translator
Ah she’s a woman.
I’ve been trying for a year now to find
That little golden key to her mind
But I should’ve known – I should’ve known better
She changed
the lock on her heart and her door
She’s a crazy woman
You’re an angel you’re a devil you intoxicate my soul
You’re an angel you’re a devil you intoxicate my soul
You confuse me, baby you confuse me, you’re a crazy woman
WE'LL MEET AGAIN
(Parker/Charles)
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
some sunny day
Keep smilin' through
Just like you always do
´til the blue skies drive
the dark clouds far away
So will you please say hello
To the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song
We'll meet again…
