Human Behaviour
Crying
Venus As A Boy
There's More To Life Than This
if you ever get close to a human and human behaviour be ready to get confused
i travel all around the city go in and out of locomotives all alone
his wicked sense of humour suggests exciting sex his fingers focus on her touches. he's venus as a boy
come on girl let's sneak out of this party it's getting boring there's more to life than this! it's still early morning we could go down to the harbour and jump between the boats and see the sun come up
there's definitely no logic to human behaviour but yet so irresistible there's no map to human behaviour they're terribly moody then all of a sudden turn happy but, oh, to get involved in the exchange of human emotions is ever so satisfying there's no map and a compass wouldn't help at all human behaviour
there's no-one here and people everywhere crying 'cause i need you crying i can feel you crying 'cause i need you crying 'cause i care it's a hot day and i'm dressed lightly i move carefully through the crowd here everyone is so vulnerable and i'm aswell there's no-one here and people everywhere crying 'cause i need you crying i can feel you crying 'cause i need you crying 'cause i care only if a ship would sail in or just somebody came and knocked on my door or just (or just) something crying 'cause i need you crying 'cause i need you
he believes in beauty he's venus as a boy he's exploring the taste of her arousal so accurate he sets off the beauty in her he's venus as a boy he believes in beauty he's venus as a boy
we could nick a boat and sneak off to this island i could bring my little ghettoblaster there's more to life than this but then we'd have to rush back to the town's best baker to get the first bread of the morning there's more to life than this
Like Someone In Love lately i find myself out gazing at stars hearing guitars like someone in love sometimes the things i do astound me mostly whenever you're around me lately i seem to walk as though i have wings bump into things like someone in love each time i look at you i'm limp as a glove and feeling like someone in love this change i feel puzzles me it's strange, a real mystery maybe you see it if you do see it what on earth can it be?
Big Time Sensuality
One Day
i can sense it something important is about to happen it's coming up
one day it will happen one day, one day it will all come true
it takes courage to enjoy it the hardcore & the gentle big time sensuality
one day when you're ready one day, one day when you're up to it
we just met and i know i'm a bit too intimate but something huge is coming up and we're both included it takes courage to enjoy it the hardcore & the gentle big time sensuality i don't know my future after this weekend and i don't want to! it takes courage to enjoy it the hardcore & the gentle big time sensuality
the atmosphere will get lighter and two suns ready to shine just for you i can feel it one day it will happen one day, one day it will all make sense one day, one day you will blossom one day, one day when you're ready an aeroplane will curve gracefully around the volcano with the eruption that never lets you down i can feel it and the beautifullest fireworks are burning in the sky just for you i can feel it one day one day
Aeroplane
Come To Me
Violently Happy
i can not live peacefully without you for even a moment i miss you terribly when you're away
come to me i'll take care of you protect you calm, calm down you're exhausted come lie down you don't have to explain i understand
since i met you this small town hasn't got room for my big feelings
you know that i adore you you know that i love you so don't make me say it it would burst the bubble break the charm
violently happy come calm me down before i get into trouble
he's away this ain't right i'm alone i'm taking an aeroplane across the world to follow my heart how come out of all the people in the world only one can make me complete one word on the phone makes me happy but one touch directly makes me ecstatic he's away this ain't right i'm alone i'm taking an aeroplane across the world to follow my heart
jump off your building is on fire i'll catch you i'll catch you destroy all that is keeping you back and then i'll nurse you i'll nurse you come to me i'll take care of you you don't have to explain i understand
violently happy 'cause i love you violently happy but you're not here
i tip-toe down to the shore stand by the ocean make it roar at me and i roar back violently happy 'cause i love you violently happy but you're not here violently happy overemotional violently happy i'll get into trouble real soon if you don't get here baby violently happy 'cause i love you violently happy i'm aiming too high
violently happy it will get me into trouble violently happy i'm driving my car too fast with ecstatic music on violently happy i'm getting too drunk violently happy i'm daring people to jump off roofs with me only you can calm me down i'm aiming too high soothe me
The Anchor Sonng
Play Dead
i live by the ocean and during the night i dive into it down to the bottom underneath all currents and drop my anchor
darling stop confusing me with your wishful thinking hopeful enbraces don't you understand? i have to go through this i belong to here where no-one cares and no-one loves no light no air to live in a place called hate the city of fear
this is where i'm staying this is my home
