”The Promise”
Melodie de: When In Rome

If you need a friend
Don’t look to a stranger
You know in the end
I’ll always be there
And when you’re in doubt
And when you’re in danger
Take a look all around
And I’ll be there
I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I’ll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you, I will
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I’m gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It’s not what’s intended
These words just come out
With no cross to bear
I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I’ll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you
I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I’d make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
Gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I’ve gotta tell you
I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I’ll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you
I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I’d make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I will, I will

”Set the Fire to the Third Bar”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol (feat. Martha Wainwright)

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms and state lines
The distance from A to where you’d B
It’s only finger lengths that I see
I touch the place
Where I’d find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I’ve found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have traveled so far
We’d set the fire to the third bar
We’d share each other like an island
Until exhausted close our eyelids
And dreaming pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can’t keep in
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

”You Could Be Happy”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

You Could Be Happy
And I won’t know
But you weren’t happy the day I
Watched you go
And all the things that I wished I
Had not said
Are played on loops ‘til it’s madness
In my head
Is it too late to remind you
How we were
But not our last days of silence
Screaming, blur
Most of what I remember
Makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking
Out the door
You Could Be Happy
I hope you are
You made me happier than I’d
Been by far
Somehow everything I own
Smells of you
And for the tiniest moment
It’s all not true
Do the things that you always
Wanted to
Without me there to hold you back
Don’t think, just do
More than anything I want to
See you, grow
Take a glorious bite out
Of the whole world

”It’s Beginning to Get to Me”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

I want something
That’s purer than the water
Like we were
It’s not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
Like Saturn’s rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we don’t like
Or understand
And It’s Beginning To Get To Me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They’re always fighting with aching joints
It’s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight’s about
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on
And It’s Beginning To Get To Me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They’re always fighting with aching joints
It’s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight’s about
It’s so thrilling but also wrong
Don’t have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I’m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I’m gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost

”Shut Your Eyes”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire, we break the quiet
Learn to wear each other well
And when the worrying starts to hurt
And the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
You can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will
Shut your eyes, I’ll spin the big chair
And you’ll feel dizzy, light, and free
And falling gently on the cushion
You can come and sing to me
And when the worrying starts to hurt
And the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
You can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will
(Shut your eyes)
(Shut your eyes)
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)

”Hands Open”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

It’s hard to argue when
You won’t stop making sense
But my tongue still misbehaves
And it keeps digging my own grave
With my hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
Why would I sabotage
The best thing that I have?
Well, it makes it easier to know
Exactly what I want
With my hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
Put Sufjan Stevens on
And we’ll play your favourite song
‘Chicago’ bursts to life
And your sweet smile remembers you
My hands open
And my eyes open
I just keep hoping
That your heart opens
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
It’s not as easy as willing it all to be right
Gotta be more than hoping it’s right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy

„Whatevers Left”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

A feeling I’ve had many times before
I can’t hold the fort, saying give me more
I struggle and sweat, now I’m wide awake
I know I’m fine, I’m not used to fine

It’s the same thing again
But it could become a problem if
We don’t deal with it now
And we blast off in another end
I’ve not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily?
As the madness sets in
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you

A sudden movement and a broken limb
The patches are there to show where I’m heading
My fault is it now? Well it’s news to me
‘Cause each of us, we try once again

It’s the same thing again
But it could become a problem if
We don’t deal with it now
And you blast off in another end
I’ve not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily?
As the madness sets in
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you
You must know that I’ll follow you

„We Can Run Away Now They’re All Dead And Gone”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

One step too far
Is not far enough away from here

Stay close to me
Don’t relax your grip on my right hand

But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Don’t torture yourself thinking that it must sting

Don’t turn your head
Pretend they’re all dead and gone by now

Can you feel that?
Feels like breath on the back of my neck

But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eye lid
Don’t torture yourself thinking that it must sting

”Ways & Means”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

Getting too busy to make amends
I should try to make it right
Are you ready for the shit to hit?
I think you say you are, but aren’t
Doctor make it better instantly
And you’re the only one who can
I’ve been waiting here my whole damn life
And I’ve forgotten what I wanted
Maybe I can do it if I put my back into it
I can leave here if I wanted
But there’s nowhere else that I can go
Maybe I won’t suffer, if I find a way to love her
I’d be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see
If I lied you’d know it instantly
So I just had to look away
All the honesty I’ve ever lost
I can’t begin to even curse
I never knew the taste of blood ‘til now
It’s clear I never should’ve known
Breathing fire was never this much fun
So there’s a dark side in a song
Maybe I can do it if I put my back into it
I can leave here if I wanted
But there’s nowhere else I can go
Maybe I won’t suffer, if I find a way to love her
I’d be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see

„Tiny Little Fractures”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

Is there a place I can go?
Is there a way to get me there?
If I’ve forgotten what to say
It’s because all words are dust
If this is really what you think
How come you won’t look me in the eye?
All this crying in your sleep
As I lie awake beside

Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah

Is there a T-shirt I can wear?
‘Cause I’m soaking
Look at me
What do you mean I don’t love you?
I am standing here aren’t I?
Maybe you thought of it first
Maybe I get all the praise

Is there a place I can go?
Is there a way to get me there?
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah

”Somewhere a Clock Is Ticking”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

I’ve got this feeling that there’s something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you)
Don’t you breathe, don’t you breathe
(I could do most anything to you)
Something happened that I never understood
(I could do most anything to you)
You can’t leave, you can’t leave
Every second dripping off my finger tips
(I could do most anything to you)
Wage your war, wage your war
(I could do most anything to you)
Another soldier says he’s not afraid to die
(I could do most anything to you)
I am scared, I’m so scared
In slow motion the blast is beautiful
(I could do most anything to you)
Doors slam shut, doors slam shut
(I could do most anything to you)
A clock is ticking but it’s hidden far away
(I could do most anything to you)
Safe and sound, safe and sound
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)

„Steal”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

It’s not something, I need, to explain again, I
I won’t be caught inside this time
You can’t just leave me, having, done the hard work, when I
I don’t want anything from here

Stop your stalling and just give me more than you should
Before we’re all in the same mess I knew we would
I will not call you ‘cause I know he’ll answer the phone
There’s something stunning about the way we lie ‘til it’s gone

All I want is one more hour with you, it’s all I
Ever wanted out of this
I only did it so I, I would be near you, I have
Never done something like this

Stop your stalling and just give me more than you should
Before we’re all in the same mess I knew we would
I will not call you ‘cause I know he’ll answer the phone
There’s something stunning about the way we lie ‘til it’s gone

„Half The Fun”
Melodie de: Snow Patrol

Half the fun of it is that I can’t keep up
And I lose my breath and what’s worse
Is I don’t think I’m the first

Any way you like, you can do no wrong
Please just give me five minutes dear
Let’s just pray it’s not near

Stay forever; I won’t last it
I’ll die trying
Will you suffer a little with me?
But you would never

With a second chance I’d mess it up again
But I’d do it worse than before
‘Cause I’ve learned so much more

About the way we fertilise the roses
That were bought to show us how much you care
Now it’s easier to care
Getting past this – you have to take it
I will wait here
Please believe me, just stop running
Say you’ll get help

I caught the last flight, I had to see ya
It can’t wait longer
He’s not your father, just a doctor
So lick your own wounds

”The Bachelor and the Bride”
Melodie de: The Decemberists

[Verse 1]
There’s a wrinkle in the water
Where we laid our first daughter
And I think the wind blows so sweetly there
Over there

[Verse 2]
And the windows and the cinders
And the willows in the timbers
The infernal rattling of the rain
Still remains

[Chorus]
„But I” said the bachelor to the bride
„Am not waiting for tonight
No, I will box your ears
And leave you here stripped bare.”

[Verse 3]
Hear the corncrakes and the deer hooves
And the sleet rain on the slate roof
A medallion locked inside her hands
In her hands

[Verse 4]
And his fingers are they telling
Of the barren of her belly
And his callouses cure her furrowed brow
Even now

[Chorus]
„But I,” said the bachelor to the bride
„Am not waiting for tonight
No, I will box your ears
And leave you here stripped bare.”

[Chorus]
„But I,” said the bachelor to the bride
„Am not waiting for tonight
No, I will box your ears
And take your tears and leave you, leave you here
Stripped bare.”

”Innocente”
Melodie de: Delerium feat. Leigh Nash

You can’t see my eyes
You can’t see my eyes
They don’t see yours
Hear me when I say
I don’t mind at all

It’s the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It’s the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It’s the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground
In silence, when my love is near
Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did you fall? When was it over?

It’s marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
It’s marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song begins

Darling, when did you cry? I couldn’t hear you
Darling when? When did you cry? I couldn’t hear you

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

It’s the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger, not a ghost
Of the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It’s the pain that I hear coming

The slightest crystal tear drops to the ground
In silence when my love is near
It’s marching through my door now the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song will end

Darling when did we fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did we fall? When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I fear that it’s the price of falling in love

”When the Body Speaks”
Melodie de: Depeche Mode

To the soul’s desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
I’m just an angel
Driving blindly
Through this world
I’m just a slave here
At the mercy
Of a girl
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much
To the soul’s desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
You keep me waiting
For the promise
That is mine
Please stop debating
Please stop wasting
Your time
Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much

”Boum-Boum”
Melodie de: Enigma

My heart goes boum boum boum
Every time I think of you
Inside It’s boum boum boum
Lost control what shall I do
Cause I wanna be your lover, (Your lover)
Till the end of our lives, (End of our life)
I could never miss again
These loving eyes
Oh boum boum boum. (Boum boum boum)
My heart goes Boum Boum Boum
Every time I think of you
I feel it boum boum boum
No control of what I’ll do
Simplicity, complexity, oh what a tragedy
Reality, insanity, strange normality
Incredible, untouchable, oh but just visual
And I want you, Just you
Oh boum boum
Oh, my heart goes boum boum boum
When my mind is touching you
I’m going boum boum boum
Only light inside my gloom
Cause I wanna be your lover, (Cause I wanna be your lover)
Till the end of our lives. (Till the end of our lives)
I could never miss again
These loving eyes
Boum boum
My heart goes boum
My heart goes boum. (Boum boum)
My heart goes boum
My heart goes boum. (Boum boum)
My heart goes
My heart goes boum boum boum boum boum
My heart goes boum
My heart goes boum boum boum boum boum

”Send Away the Rain”
Melodie de: Double You

[Intro]
You’re in my soul, you’re in my mind
No matter what you do, no matter what you say
I won’t run away like yesterday
I’ll only dream of you, forever night and day

[Verse 1]
Loving you is killing me
No matter what you do I’ll never forget you
But now you’re gone and you’re not coming back
No matter what I say, no matter how I pray
This game is us and it’s the game of love
It’s a losing thing where nobody wins
But we have loved and maybe we have lost
That’s how I feel inside

[Chorus]
Send away the rain, send away the pain
But did you know your life isn’t just the same
Send away the rain, send away the pain
Just give me back the light or I’ll go insane

[Interlude]
Send away the rain, wow wow (x2)

[Verse 1]
Loving you is killing me
No matter what you do I’ll never forget you
But now you’re gone and you’re not coming back
No matter what I say, no matter how I pray
This game is us and it’s the game of love
It’s a losing thing where nobody wins
But we have loved and maybe we have lost
That’s how I feel inside

[Chorus]
Send away the rain, send away the pain
But did you know your life isn’t just the same
Send away the rain, send away the pain
Just give me back the light or I’ll go insane

[Bridge]
Baby send away (x9)
Send away the rain
Just send away the rain

[Chorus]
Send away the rain, send away the pain
But did you know your life isn’t just the same
Send away the rain, send away the pain
Just give me back the light or I’ll go insane

”A Question of Lust”
Melodie de: Depeche Mode

Fragile, like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me, I’d never willingly do you harm
Apologies are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child, you make me smile when you care for me
And you know
It’s a question of lust, it’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting what we’ve built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more, that keep us together
Independence is still important for us though
(We realise) It’s easy to make the stupid mistake of letting go
(Do you know what I mean?)
My weaknesses, you know each and every one
(It frightens me)
I need to drink more than you seem to think before I’m anyone’s
And you know
It’s a question of lust, it’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting what we’ve built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more, that keep us together
Kiss me goodbye when I’m on my own
But you know that I’d rather be home
It’s a question of lust, it’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting what we’ve built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more, that keep us together
It’s a question of lust, it’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting what we’ve built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more, that keep us together
It’s a question of lust, it’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting what we’ve built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more, that keep us together
It’s a question of lust, it’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting what we’ve built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more, that keep us together
