Don’t Be Attached

I’d like to know if you care
Take me back home if you dare
You don’t have time to write me a poem
Take me back home

Once we get there I want to
Spend enough time to know you
Do all the things
The normal people always do

I once knew many persons
I loved them like my own sons
And then they disappeared in the sun
From one day to another

Now they all live their own lives
With their husbands or wives
A dog in the garden
That they don’t consider any longer as a tragic burden

Don’t be attached don’t get too touched
Or you will suffer too much
There will be people passing by
But you will always feel like
An only child

And there once was a family
Expecting their first baby
When he was born the doctor said
I have to warn you

We found out that your child had
An incurable disease
Don’t hope too much
It’s only a matter of weeks please

I Wanna Have Money

I wanna have money, I wanna be rich
To pay attention to your every wish
Every day of the week
Everything you want, I will seek

I wanna have green for all of your time
They say it’s money I don’t have a dime
So provide me with something for all of my life
Or I’m getting famous all over town

I wanna have money to complete my record collection
Hundreds are missing

Would you feel sorry for all of your lines
Would you regret them like your crimes
Everybody’s waiting for you now
So please reconsider this endless vow

I wanna have money to take the plane
I wanna have money to see you again
Out on a trip on a dark country lane
Laughing out loud eating sugar cane

I wanna have money for Italian food
You know I’m always in the mood

I wanna have money for what you like
‘Cause picking up daisies that’s alright
But you never know what you might get
Sometimes the petals stop being wet

Once I have money, I’ll be bored
I’ll always be playing the same chord
So take me my coins, steal me my banknotes
Before I stop to feel my oats

Toothpaste On My Suitcase

You spent so much time in the bathroom
That I was scared when you got out
I did not remember you were there I was elsewhere
You made me fall down from my chair

You rushed you hadn’t realised
I was home and to my surprise
You did not look at me you quickly went hiding
And soon I lost track of your being

So I began to wonder why
You were living inside my house
You never asked for authorization
And what’s more you’re not my spouse

Then you settled down in the kitchen
Where all my sweets and candies are
I thought that you were on a diet but you kept
On eating all that you could get

You were so annoying, you were so mean
That you made me negate my vows
I don’t know what you were told when you were young
It’s not something etiquette allows

Sunday we didn’t have food any more
So I put some cheese upon the floor
But you never ate it yeah you looked down on it
It got so rotten that it stank in all my flat
Then finally Friday I threw it all away

The morning after you were gone
I’ve never heard of you since then
I ignore where you’re from
I’m happy that you’ve come
Good riddance say hi to your mom

Kiss The Flower

So now what do you want?
Get rich? I bet that you don’t
If you do you’d better hurry up
Or you’ll never reach the top

They’re trying to make me change
Pierce a hole in my brain
They want me to understand
I am the one to blame
But it’s always the same
They don’t even know my name
They want theirs to be great
I think they are so lame

All they want is to break
Into my mind again
For them it’s not a problem
All they look for is fame
While I’m waiting for the rain
Looking out in the garden
And I don’t give a damn
I’m dying to take my train

All of my saviors in a box in the yard
My hopes and my dreams inside

That’s better, yeah. I think you got it
You’re improving every time a bit
You have your chance like everyone of us
Tell me: was it worth that fuss?

All of my saviors in a box in the yard
My hopes and my dreams inside

Where do you see yourself in the years to come?
Bring some money back to please your mom
She’s already asking herself: “what have you become?”

Almen KirkegÄrd Lullaby

I always find it hard to go on with life when you go
So I went to the graveyard this morning, you know
Among the tombstones and the flowers I could feel a bit more home
But I didn’t expect to find a little bit more hope

There were guys demonstrating against the Danish soft d
I wish you understood me so I wrote this song in c
But I couldn’t find the proper chords to that tune
I play like I was blind so switch the light off in your room

You said the ravens sounded like fed up with everything
Stressing all of the people who were coming and going
To me they were more kidding, though it was pretty close
It didn’t really matter and maybe they were crows

I went to that place to be still near you when you go
You said you’d like to be burnt and I said I didn’t know
If you leave before me I will burn your body with my flames
And then I’ll kill myself there will be no stone with our names

Back To The A

And in the morning of your sighs
I should have whispered in your eyes
Should have made sure before the night
Nothing was blurry inside your sight

And if I said that you were right
It’s because we didn’t really fight
I was down you took me so high
Now I’m on a cloud in your sky

And I understood that I might
Be blinded by your shiny light
Or petrified or hypnotized
Or everything at the same time

We’ll spend a summer day you & I
Watching the sea and the boats go by
We’ll count the times I made you cry
And all the ones when I was too shy

Whenever I’m alone
I always have an eye on my phone
But when I’m no more on my own
I stop and watch you in your throne

I would like to be in July
To look at this bed where we lie
It’s going to be hard I may die
Waiting for the time when you come back

Experiments On The Threshold Of Pain

Do you want to participate
In some kind of experiment
We know that you are a student
You know we’re going to compensate
For any pain you might feel
And we will even get you a meal

We need your age your sex your name
Or just your e-mail that’s the same
The results will stay anonymous
And will be only used by us
We cannot tell you more
We don’t want to introduce a bias

So tell me when you’re free my friend
And I will give you place and time
For you to come down and try
Our little test until the end
We look forward to this moment
You in our great experiment

So I participated in this
And I must admit that it hurts
To have electrodes in your brain
Assessing the threshold of pain
More and more current in the wire
And the pain gets higher and higher

I wanted money to save my life
They gave me cash and fork and knife
They needed me I needed them
I began to come quite often
Oh now I get up at six in the morning
And I’m more wounded in the evening

I don’t know if I can go on like that
Still I’m young and not too fat
Every day’s like a giant stab
Coming from that place down in the lab
Time will tell if I was wrong
And I should know before too long

Oh we’re so sorry that you died
You must have been too weak inside
We’ll mention that in the report
Maybe we will or maybe not
We hope we’ll have a good mark
Hope you’re feeling well in the dark

Green Blues

The weather is gorgeous
But not as much as you
So why don’t we just
See if the grass is new

Let’s find a charming field
To walk in to by two
Walking, walking and walking
All dressed up in blue

But you’re not here
So I’ve got nothing to do
Here comes one tear
I’ll give it to the dew

And flowers may grow in
This room where I am too
And I’m already thinking
Of who I’ll send them to

The Spiders

In your darkest night, woken up by some light
I will kill the spiders for you if you want me to

Danish Country Waltz

I’ve heard of a girl on a day with no school, she couldn’t see her lover
She woke up early and looked at the sky above her, she didn’t even find it cool

With her bag on her back, she walked down the street
She knew his address, she knew where he lived
Oh but grown-ups they don’t understand
She was caught by ladies whose love was dead

I know a guy, he lives in a phone booth from the money walkers give him
Even if his skin is still smooth, his bones are beginning to be dim

Once he was younger he dialed a number
Everyday at random, everyday faster
Now the cables are all in a knot
Some people would answer and some would not

I knew a girl, she was not pretty, except when she wanted
She knew how to make her body haunted, for boys she didn’t have pity

One day a guy cheated on her
Now she has all of her honor
This was the start of her lesbian pride
But I could never take her as bride
