The Day

Back of '69 02:36
Girl The back of '69 I'm Gonna win you this time I'm gonna show you The power drive Now The trees are set On Fire I'll bet That the reason For the image Is just fine Oh yeah! She Had soft brown hair I Could never dare To love another Like I do When she she walks into she walks into
2.
I've got this complication Burning in my brain This tender assignation Is driving me insane I went to the scenic vendor To buy myself a grin He said life is science fiction Just sparkling in the rain Girl you got some problems But I don't understand How in the summer sun You still got the upper hand You're high behind sunglasses Out in the countryside The dew is on the grass And there's madness in her eyes Girl you got some problems But I don't understand How in the summer sun You still got the upper hand
3.
I walk around this town My ear down to the ground Shadows falling Street to street Long In the summer heat Throw your bones What is gone is gone Two lovers in the cemetery You touched me You touched me They hide behind best wishes Waiting for The summer rain For 'hands that do dishes' Are aching to Wash you away Throw your bones What is gone is gone Two lovers in the cemetery You touched me You touched me Trees bend gently in the wind Making sure That you don't give in The streets are dry deserted You think You can escape from here? Throw your bones What is gone is gone Two lovers in the cemetery You touched me You touched me

Who is that girl Who is that girl And who are the men Why are they Why are they so tall Guess they must be Looking for life Gonna see her tomorrow At the big blue light Now here it comes Going up around your shoulder With your head down on a boulder Now here it comes Who is that girl Who is that girl And who are the men Why are they Why are they so tall Guess they must be Looking for life Won't you pick me up In your car Take me on a trip To another star Then you wear leather That's cool I look into your eyes Say I love you Who is that girl Who is that girl And who are the men Why are they Why are they so tall Guess they must be Looking for life I may have misconstrued Your kisses But they're just What I've been missing I thought that you liked me And I can't understand Why you've got that knife in your hand Who is that girl Who is that girl And who are the men Why are they Why are they so tall Guess they must be Looking for life Gonna see her tomorrow At the big blue light Now here it comes Now here it comes Now here it comes Now here it comes

It's cold in December And I'm not so sure If the boots that I'm wearing Quite fit The clock on the wall Isn't sleeping at all And the bed Looks like it's thrown a fit Baby you know my kind Baby you know my kind Baby you know my kind Well it's starting to rain On the shades and the pain Of the classically trained Mausoleum You've run out of friends Well that's not where it ends It's not who they are Just how you see them And baby you know my kind, Baby you know my kind Baby you know my kind

The Day 04:12
The Day Was as clear as the sky And I live here In this house It's far Far from the sea My love Don't ask me about love Don't ask me to dance Maybe to kiss you If you want me to promise Never to say no Once maybe twice Then it's "what about me" That I never Wanted to hear Enticing Burning Sand The sea It looks so calm A sanctuary even From here Perhaps I need A shot of that blue Put the colour Back into my skin Don't ask me to dance Maybe to kiss you If you want me to promise Never to say no Once maybe twice Then it's "what about me" That I never Wanted to hear Enticing Burning Sand The day Turned into a year I grow weary Of these games we play There are places Deeper than the ocean Tell me some Tell me about love Don't ask me to dance And maybe to kiss you If you want me to promise Never to say no Once maybe twice Then it's "what about me" That I never Wanted to hear Enticing Burning Sand
7.
White Summer is coming Gonna buy me a motorbike and Go out running Won't you tell me What's in her mind this time People sleeping in the dark, the Mist on my glove leather Striking the pages of summer Won't you tell me What's in her mind this time The physical manifestation of her perfume Cigarette burning on the ledge Electricity flows through the feed pipes Shades behind the bar Won't you tell me What's in her mind this time Won't you tell me What's in her mind this time Tomorrow we go To play ball With Anthony Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow
8.
She's driving home In the black Mercedes I've got summer shirts And January snow Ive been sleeping Through the century Sunglasses To protect the soul Look out of the window The scenery's burnt down In the mystical depths Of the countryside The reluctant young lover Embraces his girl Speed up on a vision That's bringing me down Bright lights along Country roads Each tiny jewel Reflects a vision of you Irresistable Rays and Black Goodbyes Rows and rows of trees Between you and me
9.
I spend my life in bars Admiring their charms The gravewood of the cask The perfume of your mask You're much to sly to ask If there's one more chance Life's unkind and love is cruel Easy picking for me and you Now if you're looking for an alibi I will put the tears in your eyes I'm searching for a place to die Someone's waiting there for me And I don't want to go Wish you could save me From all I know Lipstick an opulent red Dress with the diagonal thread Green cuts the end of the bed "I've got this friend" she said They kissed and invited her home This is no time to be alone Life's unkind and love is cruel Easy picking for me and you Life's unkind and love is cruel Easy picking for me and you
