Gone Under Sea
On Parade
The Valleys
Birds
Take The Bit Between Your Teeth
Oh Sombra! | Enter Laughing
This Deed
Love Builds Up
Only One Thing Is Needed
You Make Me Weak At the Knees |

Stand up against the wall
So I can make you out
Do do you wanna be it?
You take the power out.
One day we'll be wandering…
Girl you'll be a dandy
And a deserter
You sit astride your horses
Dressed as Nelson
I wanna see her
I wanna see her
I wanna see her with her horses
Oh yeah
I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear
You got it down
You got it down
Uh huh
You got it down
You got it down |
| » The Valleys « |
The first few lines are…
I heard it from the valleys
I heard it ringing in the mountains
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I heard it from the valleys
I heard him singing in the mountains
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
The rest of the lyrics are taken from the poem 'A Letter Home' by Siegfried Sassoon, written in May 1916.
This poem can be found in many editions of his work (we are not allowed to re-print it here). |

I loved you in the morning, before the sun would come
You were the dawn to me
I loved you in the evening, while the birds were still singing
You gave every song to me
I want to see you
More than anything
Babe I miss you
All day and everyday
It's not that I can't go on without you
Got a lot of things to do
I'm busy, busy all the time
Still I can't stop thinking about you |
| » Take The Bit Between Your Teeth « |
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard and you wanted to tell me
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard and you wanted to tell me
Oh I don't want to hear it
Turn it up yeah yeah…
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard
I know you had it hard and you wanted to tell me
That you're the man
That you're the man
That you're the man, you've got all of the answers
I don't think you do
Turn it up yeah yeah… |
| » Oh Sombra! « |
Como aquel que en soñar gusto recibe,
su gusto procediendo de locura,
así el imaginar con su figuravanamente su gozo en mí concibe.
Otro bien en mí, triste, no se escribe,
si no es aquel que en mi pensar procura;
de cuanto ha sido hecho en mi ventura
lo sólo imaginado es lo que vive.
Teme mi corazón de ir adelante,
viendo estar su dolor puesto en celada;
y así revuelve atrás en un instante
a contemplar su gloria ya pasada.
¡Oh sombra de remedio inconstante,
ser en mí lo mejor lo que no es nada!
Like one receiving pleasure from a dream,
his pleasure thus proceeding from delusion,
so does imagination with illusions conceive in vain its happiness in me.
No other good's inscribed on my sad heart,
except what in my thoughts I might procure;
of all the good I ever have endured,
what lives is only the imagined part.
My heart is frightened to proceed ahead,
seeing that its pain in ambush lies;
and so after a moment it turns back
to contemplate those glories that have fled.
Oh, shadow of relief, that fickle flies,
to make what's best in me be what I lack! |

I saw a light
And it shone
Yeah it shone
All around your head
My friend there's no time
For all our plans
Now you're gone
There's no way back from here
Sometimes I just want to change
But the people keep saying
You can't give up your own ways
Can you tell me how I could be so blind to
Ever let you go, when I wanted you around?
You know I was just waiting for you to come over
I thought that you knew it
I never told you that I,
I've been looking out for you
I've been thinking about you
I could, I could, I could, I could, I could, I could, I could not tell you |
| » This Deed « |
The first part of the lyrics is a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche, from Die Fröhliche Wissenschaft (The Gay Science), section 125 of book 3.
Diese Tat ist ihnen immer noch ferner, als die fernsten Gestirne, und doch haben sie dieselbe getan!
Hände hoch!
This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars, and yet they have done it themselves!
Hands up! |

I'm going out again
I'm going to meet that girl
I saw her looking so fine I said I've got to go on over
You got it, you got it, you you you got it
You're gonna be my girl
I saw you looking so fine I said I've got to go on over
I'm going out to meet her
I'm going out to meet her |
