> Lyrics: Collector Number One

Say Hello (White Session)

To all the crazy people who go walking in the rain
To every single young girl who is waiting for a man
And to every desperado who is looking for a friend
To all the foreign strangers who are always in a fight
To all my clumsy lovers who can never get it right
And to everyone I know who'll never get to see the light

I say hello to all the junkies, all the sinners and the creeps
We say hello to all the people in this place
I say hello to all the drunk-heads all the prostitutes and freaks
We say hello to all the people in the world

To anyone out there who never gets out in the night
To every man in black and anyone who plays guitars
And to everyone who knows there is human life in Mars

Well I say hello to all the junkies all the sinners and the creeps
We say hello to all the people in this place
I say hello to all the drunk-heads, all the prostitutes and freaks
We say hello to all the people In the world
 

 

Tourniquet

Life come undone, mortal coil sprung
Lifted and drifted, a welcoming sun
Some days I feel brave riding the airwaves
Locked in this room give me some room
Scratching the pavement, grazed knees and broken nails
Maybe some token of how life goes by

Yeah I'd love to see you try
I won't steal your pain, just tighten the tourniquet
You're losing the feeling, losing the feeling
I wontt bring you down, rip it and twist it again
You're losing the feeling

I'm counting the hours, the beauty in dead flowers
Heart that keeps you warm, things you don't think about
Like how to grow old, like steps in the snow
Just waiting to leave

I won't steal your pain, just tighten the tourniquet
You're losing the feeling, losing the feeling
I wontt bring you down, rip it and twist it again
You're losing the feeling, I won't bring you down
You're losing the feeling, I won't bring you down
Baby you're losing the feeling, I won’t bring you down
Just tighten the tourniquet, I won't bring you down
'Cos you're losing the feeling, I won't bring you down
 

 

Starcrossed

Every day you make me wanna lose myself
I forget the time Iforget my health
I keep a lot of things under my bed but I really wish you were there
Starcrossed on my face on my head

Every time I really want to get control
I forget my pills and I get real low
I hide a lot of things under my hair but I really wish you were there
Starcrossed on my face on my head
Starcrossed, starcrossed, starcrossed, yeah

Every night I really try to get the best
But I want your finger and I want your neck
I keep a lot of things under my skin but I really wish you were there
Starcrossed on my face on my head
Starcrossed, starcrossed, yeah

 

 

What Every Girl Should Know (Isabel's Demo)

When you wish upon a star don't tell him baby
Even when all you have left are pretty scars
When you need a place to call 'cos his love has gone too far
Oh, but the memories stay in your heart, stay in your heart

When the feeling's running out don't tell him baby
Think of all the times he told you not to cry
When you need a helping hand 'cos the world is far apart
Oh, but the memories stay in the heart, stay in the heart...
 

 

Gravity (live Border Crossing Festival)

Ain't it funny how the stars look far away
And it makes me sad to be surrounded
There's not much else that I can do to change
But in my dreams I see you smiling
But the world keeps going round with the sun and the moon
When you and I are somehow in between
We are hopelessly waiting for the sky to fall down
I put my hands up, don't look around

Sometimes we can forget just where we are
Sometimes it's hard to look around you
We seem to move but never very far
And I don’t know why I give a fuck about it
'Cos the world keeps going round with the sun and the moon
And you and I are somehow in between
We are hopelessly waiting for the sky to fall down
I put my hands up don't look around
 

 

Devil (live Route de Rock Festival)

Welcome to the show...
You turned your back on your own flesh, you've got a piece of me
You were so young and so rich
But I saw you with that mirror right between your feet

FRENCH LYRICS..... D-d-d-devil
D-d-d-devil, woah-oo-oh, D-d-d-devil

Never mind the way you bought acres of land
I saw two blondes, young girls
And every single cunt you could lay your hands on

The world swings around you
But I could never find you, D-d-d-devil
D-d-d-devil, woah-oo-oh / D-d-d-devil
 

 

Wayward Daughter (White Session)

If you could see the morning light coming through this winter sky
So the mystery unfolds when the black turns into gold
Long time ago I had a friend who told me nothing matters
Then she says “Well then again, life's no laughing matter”
Just look at all the crazy people
Running in the dark against the light
Just look at all the crazy people
Wonder what goes on inside their minds

I think of you like no one else, like a wayward daughter
So it seems I had to go, blood can run like water
Just look at all the crazy people
Running in the dark against the light
Just look at all the crazy people
Wonder what goes on inside their minds

If you could see the morning light coming through this winter sky
Long time ago I had a friend, now I'm your wayward daughter
Yes I'm your wayward daughter
 

 

Daron Sings

Hey I heard it on the radio, in and out of sleep, she sighs
As music drifts around the room he opens his eyes
And hey I heard it on the radio, we've only just begun
Stay in bed and listen to the stereo, we'll lie-in with the sun
Some memories fade in time but sooner moments die
Well I'll never forget that morning with my gemini, no no

And hey I heard it on the radio, we've only just begun
Stay in bed and listen to the stereo, we'll lie-in with the sun
Morning sun, morning sun
 

 

When the Bottle is Dry

Everybody’s talking about my drinking
Like everybody knows how to live my life
'Cos I can fall on the ground and lose track of my senses
But I only lose my head when the bottle is dry

Everybody tells me I need changing
They count and count the times I've crossed the line
Yes I've been crazy at times I know that I've been a pain dear
But I only lose my head when the bottle is dry

I don't want to give you no explanations
Lord knows how many times I've tried
There are sure many real good reasons why
I feel better when I lose my senses
And the world looks quite alright
And I only lose my head when the bottle is dry

Everybody's talking about my drinking
Like everybody knows how to live my life
Yeah I can fall on the ground and lose track of my senses
But I'll only lose my head when the bottle is dry

I only lose my head when the bottle is dry
 

 

1,000 Blue Caribou

He played me a record, he said
"It's the seventh song, you got to listen to it, it's great"
And needle hit the vinyl as I waited
And the sound that drifted across took me to another place
Where a thousand bright blue caribou raced across a glassy lake
And I heard the words were flowing
And they said the time had come
So I layed back and stared at the sun
Then I knew it was good to be there and I knew you were the one
 

 

Accelerate (Janice Long Session)

This life reminds me of a carousel
Going all the way round and we think it's swell don't we?
But even plastic horses get put down
Hey we all gotta hit the ground
Acceleration, acceleration, acceleration

It's a funny business baby as we can see
But I keep my eyes wide open even when I'm asleep
' Cos we never know when death will come around
Hey we all gotta hit the ground
Acceleration, acceleration, acceleration

This life reminds me of a.... 
This life reminds me of a...  yeah we all gotta hit the ground...
Accelerate, it looks so pretty...
Accelerate, all those tiny bright lights...
Accelerate, calling my name...
Accelerate, I'm falling freely...
Accelerate, and it's moving so fast...
Accelerate, slow down honey...
Accelerate
 

 

El President (Demo)

Yeah yeah ya...

Came from the skies, burst through the gates
With no mercy or disguise, with their hearts set out in flames
I know I've seen the masterplan, yeah yeah ya...

Well I'm just a man, I'm not turning in
But the people understand, 'cos they all fell down and prayed
I know I've seen the masterplan, yeah yeah ya...
They killed the president, they killed the president

Came from the skies, in all shades of green
Yeah we can always justify, we can measure up your dreams
I know I've seen the masterplan, yeah yeah ya...
But they killed the president, killed the President
Yeah yeah ya... Yeah yeah ya... Yeah yeah ya...
Killed the president, they killed the president
They killed the president
 

 

Xmas at the Arctic Pole

I've got a big bird in the oven and I'm wearing my very best suit
And I've just been down to the drugstore
And loaded up the house with booze
They say to have the perfect Christmas
Man, you gotta have a lot of snow
Well the only way to get round this one
Is the Christmas in the Arctic Pole

And here we go to the Arctic Pole
To the Arctic Pole, to the Arctic Pole (merry merry Christmas)

And now the Christmas spirit lives on my second floor council flat
And it's not about things you give
Or the things you think you're gonna get
All my friends are coming over
We're gonna sit around and watch TV
We're gonna have such a big hangover
By the time the queen makes her speech

And here we go to the Arctic Pole
To the Arctic Pole, to the Arctic Pole (merry merry Christmas)

When Christmas time is over and it's time to clean up the mess
You remember all the good things
And the things that kinda' made you sad
And so another year is over and there's another one on its way
You can only hope this time next year we're gonna do it all again

And here we go to the Arctic Pole
To the Arctic Pole, to the Arctic Pole (merry merry Christmas)

I've got a big bird in the oven and I'm wearing my very best suit
And I've just been down to the drugstore
And loaded up the house with booze
They say to have the perfect Christmas
Man, you gotta have a lot of snow
Well the only way to get round this one
Is the Christmas in the Arctic Pole
