There isn't much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse,
I only want a proper house

I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave,
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father's grave

On my father's grave
(On your father's grave)

I don't mean to seem like I
Care about material things,
Like a social status,
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say?
Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling no I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling no i don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a (you don't care a) bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
oh no, you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
oh no, you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit
you don't care a bit

Γλένταγες στους ουρανούς
με ζάρια και χαρτιά
Και ξάφνου στα σκοτάδια μας
γκρεμίστηκες με φόρα.

Τώρα κρυώνεις και πεινάς
μ' άστο σε μας
για σένα βράζει αυτή
η άδεια κατσαρόλα

Μη δίνεις σημασία
που όλα γίναν βιαστικά
κι αν επρόλαβες να πεις
δυο τρία λόγια.

Το ξες πως είναι κερδισμένος τελικά
όποιος χαμογελάει μπροστά στην καρμανιόλα.

Άπλωνες στα σύννεφα μια τσόχα και με μιας,
έναν αιώνα κέρδιζες
ποντάροντας μια ώρα.

Τώρα θυμώνεις , ξεφυσάς κι όλο ρωτάς
που σταματάει αυτή η άγρια κατηφόρα.

Μη δίνεις σημασία
που όλα γίναν βιαστικά
κι αν επρόλαβες να πεις
δυο τρία λόγια.

Το ξες πως είναι κερδισμένος τελικά
όποιος χαμογελάει μπροστά στην καρμανιόλα.

Δεν πειράζει που δε σου ‘ρθε η ζαριά
τζογάρισες στο όνειρο κι είσαι έτοιμος για όλα
Το λέει κι ένα τραγούδι που μας μάθαιναν παλιά…
Ο ΧΑΜΕΝΟΣ ΤΑ ΠΑΙΡΝΕΙ ΟΛΑ

Μη γκρινιάζεις που δε σου ‘ρθε η ζαριά
τζογάρισες στο όνειρο κι είσαι έτοιμος για όλα
Το λέει κι ένα τραγούδι που μας μάθαιναν παλιά
Ο ΧΑΜΕΝΟΣ ΤΑ ΠΑΙΡΝΕΙ ΟΛΑ

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
