Climbers
I was a-climbing a ladder
when I looked up I slid
I fell down in a bath tub
and had a beer instead
I was a-climbing a mountain
when I came across a goat
he said jump on my back now
I can use an extra coat
Oh and you race for the bright top
I was a-cooking some dinner
when the fireworks began
that's when the goat said: you're lucky
you used the wrong pan
Oh and you race for the bright top

The Fixer
As you turn off the radio
the waves come to an end
you and I've been miserable
for a long time, gotta end
walk around the twisted pile
cooking over you
I choose to turn it over
and you're turning too
Everywhere the explosions rocked
the system giving up
and through a cloud of dirt
comes a wizard with your heart
smoke leaving your open chest
sunbeams piercing through
fixing what the overtired and
the doctors couldn't do

Flood

Flood
Roaring valleys
banks run over
it's the flood
Open boxes
seashells talking
at your house:
"enough"
Tense and rigid
filled with thunder
let'em cry
"enough"
Someone's starring
I can tell
you wanna stare back
All that waiting
I can tell
you wanna give back
what you have
Open Europe
let dreams float freely
from the south
It is springtime
lakes and rivers
running wild
"enough"
All that waiting
I can tell
you wanna give back
Times are changing
and erase
the dams of the past
Someone's starring
I can tell
you wanna stare back
and relax
you wanna give back
what you have

Belly of a Man
We used to be pagans
feeded by the sea
horizon around us
one with the reeves
Fires and fur coats
heating our breed
free as the eagle
got all you gonna need
But the bird wants freedom
a stone wants peace
a gun wants a trigger
and man wants to plan
Some say courage
some say greed
call it all progress
and you forget what you need
Like rats and rabbits
spreading with disease
where there's a cradle
there's a snake in the grass
Eager and hungry
mad to understand
lobsters couldn't fill up
the belly of a man

Silence

Silence
In the red valley
in the silent grove
watching our footprints
deep in the mould
By the bonfire
we eat till we're full
entangle our bodies
before the world
absorbs our feeling
unlocks our bones
Have you gone walking
on the empty beach
Earth turning
nowhere to reach
when you surrender
there is no fear

Water
Water, I can feel it in me
waiting, flowing, running
over the dam
Water, if I tell you what I am
carry me, lead me
there
I won't hold back
Water, understand it and
nothing's too heavy
too anything
I can let go
be everything
slowly, slowly
and then!
Water, your unfolded powers
running downhill
lifting me up
Water, you can feel it
you wanna
go along
and you sing!
Running, dwelling, loving
don't think you can stop anything
dwelling…. loving!
Water, understand it and
nothing's too heavy, too crazy, too hot, too cold
too anything
do anything!
I can let go
be anything
dwelling……

Give Up
Oh the world breaks you in halves
you can let her fall while you're picking up
oooh the world isn't bad
push her to the side and she will get better
Oooh she's spinning around
gotta step aside 'fore she takes you with her
oooh she's tricking you down
push her to the side and leave her there
Oh the road repelling the rain
letting it aside so your wheels roll better
oh you go and envision yourself
"I could be a-saving" and then you break it
Go alone and let it mould
push her to the side 'fore she takes you with her
oooh your vision is bad
push her to the side and you see it all

Haunted
I had travelled far
and come back to the root
no hopes and no fears
only breathing
But then you whip me
push me off board
and I don't start swimming
I don't want to swim
Oh cat, you're on your own
no one knows where you go
falling into the queer
fall dead in this world
And then you whip me
push me off board
I could start swimming
I don't want to swim
I want to drown
sink with you
into the haunted
gloomy blue

Tiger
There's a tiger
drifting through the forest
like a spirit without
a troubled home
the footprints don't matter
Silent through the snow
its paw as soft as a pillow
its claw the sharpest of arrows
Beautiful, true
cautious like crossing a winter stream
yielding like ice before melting

Row Row
Row row let your hands reign
row row where you are
row row while your head sinks down
Row row where you can't still
row row past the stars
row row when you can't hide
Oh sometimes you're everywhere
Row row bring your oars down
row row let them count
row row bring your arms back right
Oh sometimes you're everywhere
