CUT A HEEL CUT A TOE
Trouble came one afternoon
When you least expected it to
Said: probably you felt safe on this property
Trouble turned and said the words
that made it seem even more absurd
said peace or war, this is the day
I've been waiting for
Cut a heel, cut a toe
Where can you go
fire come, rain come
where can you go
fire come, rain come
You pull the trigger
you are the digger
diggin' a grave as the avalanche roles
you get a kick out of it
but the fire is lit
Trouble is a tricky one
Sneaks upon you like a song
one step away
I am afraid this is the day
Cut a heel, cut a toe
Where can you go
fire come, rain come
where can you go
fire come, rain come x 2
Did you ever get what you wanted
will you ever look back again
fire turning houses to ashes
and here comes the rain
Did you ever get what you needed
will you ever look back again
fire turning houses to ashes
and here comes the rain
Cut a heel, cut a toe
Where can you go
fire come, rain come
where can you go
fire come, rain come
Cut a heel, cut a toe
Where did you go
where did you go
fire come, rain com

TERRIFIED
How are you my love
I think you fucked me up
I'm driving on a flat tire
my bedroom is on fire
well at least I don't deny
That I'm terrified and I am alive
one step at a time is not a crime
I'm terrified so I'm getting high
It helps me a bit and soon I'll quit
How are you tonight
cause I am in a state
the devil asked me out
now words fall from my mouth
the quiet and the loud
And I'm terrified and I am alive
one step at a time is not a crime
I'm terrified so I'm getting high
It helps me a bit and soon I'll quit
I'm terrified you'll say you love me
cause if you do I'll love you too
I'm terrified I might stay out late
My heart will burn and I won't return
till the break of dawn
But why I don't know
No way to explain
Creating incredible pain
Im listening to everything you did
The concrete will carry my feet
And I'm terrified and I am alive
one step at a time is not a crime
I'm terrified so I'm getting high
It helps me a bit and soon I'll quit
I'm terrified you'll say you love me
cause if you do I'll love you too
I'm terrified to be satisfied
My heart will burn and I won't return
till the break of dawn

I Put My Foot Down

I PUT MY FOOT DOWN
Enough is enough
turn ghosts into phrases
enough is enough
look straight into faces
enough is enough
hold on to your anchor
and if you think your odd
then odd is beautiful
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
down to the ground
Today is the day
celebrate weirdness
today is the day
to climb mount nevertheless
today is the day
take a walk in the wilderness
and if you think you’re wild
then wild is beautiful
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
down to the ground
Again and again
a yell and a whisper
again and again
get pulled down the river
again and again
the flesh and bone shiver
and if you think you’re soft
then soft is beautiful
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
down to the ground

RICH LIFE
You showed me the rich life
You said relax, I'll be around
Folks cracking jokes, having a good time
You hold a world in your arms
And roaring western sea waves, with foam,
Blowing by
And by the kitchen table
Foam of quiet blowing by
You showed me your way
You celebrate every day
Bottles on the table along with pottery
people dropping by, as if you won the lottery
And roaring western sea waves, with foam,
Blowing by
And by the kitchen table
Foam of quiet blowing by
You've got your ship, your kingdom, your plastic car
Did'nt come from money
Do you know how lucky you are?
You've got your hands and heart to lead the way
And by your side a great woman,
mind the cliché/come what may
And roaring western sea waves, with foam,
Blowing by
And by the kitchen table
Foam of quiet blowing by
Along with The Rich Life

Dare The Joy

DARE THE JOY
You wake up
No make up
No heavy hairdo
to protect you
an ego parashoot
and a twisted mood
then so so be it
A hero cape on
24/ 7
stronger is the sun
further is the heaven
got a crooked soul
got a distant goal
then so so be it
Dare the joy today
Noone passes spotless you know
And the doors are wide open
you’d be a fool not to enter
Dare the joy today
Trouble is you loose it sometimes
But the doors are wide open
you’d be a fool not to enter
A dog bark
in the middle of the dark
a pool of shadow
a dream meadow
one step ahead
get’s you closer to the dead
then so so be it
Dare the joy today
Noone passes spotless you know
And the doors are wide open
you’d be a fool not to enter
a pull and a yell
from the well
hear the liberty bell
and break up the shell
I know you can fall
but there are still sails to be set
Dare the joy today
Trouble is you lose it sometimes
But the doors are wide open
you’d be a fool not to enter
Dare the joy today
Noone passes spotless you know
And the doors are wide open
you’d be a fool not to enter
Every sinner has a future
Every saint a past
Every sinner has a future
Every saint a past

OPEN THE CAGE
We all have our shit to carry
why do you find it so God damn scarry
go home, have a dance with the mirror
last chance to go back and open the cage
We all have our time to worry
We all have our corpses to burry
go home, have a glimpse
of your beliefs weakest limbs
go back, open the cage
Expand, open the cage
where curiousety goes to sleep
Expand, capture the stage
let the velvet curtain
swipe across the floor of your frozen truth
Open the cage where your thought used to stay
open the rage that you hid through the day
Turn one more page
it is blank, what can I say
Go back, open the cage
Expand, open the cage
where curiousety goes to sleep
Expand, capture the stage
let the velvet curtain
swipe across the floor of your frozen truth

LET IT BE
All is well
right here between heaven and hell
right here I want to dwell in your eyes
I know for sure
I need the strongest cure
life is always pure in your eyes
And it's no go
no no no go
oh no don't go
let it be
God is good
and baby I wish we could
taste the newly discovered fruit
just go ahead
Weather's nice
let's not think twice
let's just roll the dice
just go ahead
And it's no go
no no no go
oh no don't go
let it be
A brighter day
never came my way
maybe I went astray
but who cares
It does'nt make sence
climbing the highest fence
a movie with hard suspence
but who cares
And it's no go
no no no go
And it's no go
no no no go
oh no don't go
let it be

Timber

TIMBER
Like a piece of timber
Floating down the river
With a headless truth
In distructions shiver
Your words are those of a man
Your chest wide and strong
But like a piece of timber
floating all day long
Passing different landscapes
You either hate or apreciate
But then the current will be changing
And the river will deviate
Your dreams are those of a man
Your back wide and strong
But like a piece of timber
floating all day long
So be a rock, just stand
let the water pour through your fingers and your hand
Your dirty worn out boots
they are more than that they are your roots and your survival
don't you see?
Like a piece of timber
Carried by the stream
Floating down the river
Of somebody elses dream
Your body is a man's
Your shoulders wide and strong
But like a piece of timber
floating all day long

Someone I Know

SOMEONE I KNOW
Someone I know smoke in bed reading words dropped by some poet
Someone I know crazy dancing way to early whatthehell just do it
Someone I know love selecter, the mood the weather, don't tall it show it
Someone I know take a chance, crack a branch have a blast go blow it
And pick up the worn out boots
no base no roots
look at the edge of the sky
just walk no why
Someone I know claim their right, pick a fight when it's really out of their buisness
Someone I know an alian on a pick nick getting god damn restless
Someone I know pull a trick, get a kick, out of losing every single illusion
Someone I know gotta learn from their burn, scared from their religion
So pick up the worn out boots
no base no roots
look at the edge of the sky
just walk no why
Call it a shame when the rain never stops, and its banging on your roof for hour
Call it a blame, when you're running round in circles and love does'nt smell like flowers
Call it a game, we're screaming and yelling and trying to reach an agreement
Call it a flame, gotta sell what you got, gotta dwell in the hot sun
So pick up the worn out boots
no base no roots
look at the edge of the sky
just walk no why

Into My Arms (Nick Cave)

Into My Arms
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

THE FIREMAN
I thought this would be a different kind of day
where you would'nt turn round that corner
and melt every stone in the pavement away
like a glycerin statue in a sauna
The Bee knows it'll die when it stings
but you never know whwn the fireman sings
The Bee knows it'll die when it stings
but you never know whwn the fireman sings
I figured the riddle was over an solved
as the road lay open and wide
inhaled to the bottom of my exhausted lungs
inhalation acces denied
The Bee knows it'll die when it stings
but you never know whwn the fireman sings
The Bee knows it'll die when it stings
but you never know whwn the fireman sings
I held my head high as I fell into the snares
of a calm and gentle fraudster
you opened my story
and oh did you make it bleed
with a smile on your face, not a bluster
The Bee knows it'll die when it stings
but you never know whwn the fireman sings
The Bee knows it'll die when it stings
but you never know whwn the fireman sings
