Giraffe

Echoboy Giraffe歌詞
1.Automatic Eyes

There's things that we might never know
there's things that we might never show eachother
although we're living by eachother's side
i'd never breathe a word to you
if sixty seconds of the truth was spoken
i'd be broken
automatic eyes

dishonest movements
instinctively premeditated
i lost control on thursday morning


2.Don't Destroy Me

My work is done
thank god for the sun
endlich urlaub
at last the holiday

a sense of warm calm energy
comes slowly over me
a sense of space so i can breathe
amplify these emotions
i can see the morning
all the phases of my life
the building and the trees
i don't like the morning
all the pages open wide
makes it clear for me to see
and feel reality

in the light brown lamplight of the moon
my aimless eyes will gaze at you
feels like i'm floating in the air
a lack solidity

don't destroy me
i'll take cover
don't destroy me now
i'll take cover
find another
way to pass the time

i can see the morning


3.Comfort Of The Hum

Concrete inspires me
not your leafy silent village streets
roadsigns are all masterpieces
dig until we find the route to beat
electricity turns me on
not your frozen antique candle lit dreams
bow down to the traffic lights
i'm burning up in the acid hearted sun
as we lie beneath the pylons
feel the comfort of the hum

warning lights my antenna is dead
keeping rays of darkness out of my head
where have all the heads gone
a world of sick and meaningless songs
don't decode complexity
i stay awake all night
deprive myself of day
never straighten out the chords that clash
we can turn them into rebel cash
i feel alive
feel the electricity
super condictivity
i can defy gravity


4.Summer Rhythm

This is nothing new
it's all been done before
my guitars never lie
but my finger's aren't too sure
i'm standing in the line
standing at the door
it's closing in my face
i've been here so many times before

don't even trust a friend
that should become the law
the bitterest design
is painted on my jaw
i'm looking through myself
like looking at the sea
the deeper that you go
the darker it seems to be
do you believe in fairytales
do you believe in luck
is it your faith running low
does money cost to much


5.High Speed In Love

Don't be sitting here alone
all through the night
there's so much that we could do
i'm never happy until i've made you cry
high speed in love with you
lying here alone
all through the night
the lights are flashing in my brain
and you know there's no cure for love
i'm addicted to this pain


6.Fun In You

I saw you walking alone heart as free as a window
holding a phone
talking to another man
i'm watching the city
from a taxi
ricochet talk back
vauxhall bridge
you're eyeliner's blue
brings out the fun in you
let's have a good time

i saw you walking alone
heart as free as a diamond
solitary girl
looks like you're on fire

concentrate on a space in time
like a lion i walk through the red night
your love puts me in rewind
and i know
yes i know your favourite line
yes i know your eskimo eyes


7.Lately Lonely

Lately lonely
i don't know what i'm gonna do
lately lonely
end of part one
part two

i've got piss for blood
dead meat for brains
head full of hatred head full of shame
i need to replace you
this is the end
this is the start
i need to replace you
feed my head
feed my heart


8.Good On T.V.

If your resistance is low
you've got nowhere left to go
don't try to put the blame on me
you've lost your creativity
might borrow
might beg
might steal and sell
my brain don't fit my head too well
all that we can do is sit and wait
for the money to accumulate
but it's never gonna happen to me
because i don't look good on tv

if you reactions are slow
darkness subdues your healthy glow
be sure to keep your dreams alive
and let the sleep die
might borrow
might beg
might steal might sell

find an enery
find a feel


9.Wasted Spaces

Don't you want to know about my life
don't you want to know about the broken windows
don't you want to know about the boredom
and don't you want to know about the wasted spaces

why should i hide my feelings
i thought that's what this song was all for
the bitter man he is hiding
behind the happy face on the happy door

whatever happened to the tv
whatever happened to the radio
announcing all the new sounds
to get us out of bed
no more mating call
just lie in bed
no more mating call
just lie in bed all day
and think about all the wasted spaces

i'm still searching for the new sound of my soul
i'm still searching for the new sound to fill the hole
i don't know what it sounds like
but when it comes
we'll feel it


10.Nearly All The Time

I wondered
yes i wondered
nearly all the time
will the trees get any taller
in about an hours time
i always wanted the best for you
but now you've slipped away
tomorrow holds the future
i'm stuck in yesterday

sadness was a virtue
that i always swept aside
now it's catching up with me
and i don't have the time
love can make a man see
and love can make him blind
i just kept my eyes closed
and i ran from the ties that bind

there's people want to close this factory
they want to close my mind
those people have got no direction
they can't read the signs

i listened to the teacher
i listened to the priest
i only learned what i wanted to learn
only believed what i want to believe
