Populism

1.
My hand is in your hand I'm in love Your hand is in my hand I'm in love My hand your heart Has had still has got
2.
I'm drifting Drifting in the most peculiar way I'm falling But I don't know if it's up or down I'm living Today or just another yesterday I'm turning Round and round and round To the point of no return
3.
I may not believe in God But I'd like to turn to him and say She has left And you knew when she decided to go So if you want to come back I'll hide from you You may not believe in love But I've got a heart inside that states It exists And you know I believe what I saw So if you want to go there I'd lie to you I may not believe in fate But I understand that things that stay Sometimes change But I have to believe they're not gone So if you want to come back I won't hide from you Out of the water Into the sand Over the mountain Out of your hands Into your arms Out of the water Onto the land Into the sky Out of your hands Into your arms

Smile 03:26
If you don't call me that's ok I was a jerk the other day But you know it hurts to see That you don't love that part of me You want me to smile and hey I laugh about stuff every day But I still cry for you I am sorry if I seem To show no interest in the things you did today But if that's all you're gonna say I'll just quietly walk away You want me to smile and hey I laugh about stuff every day And if that's all I get from you Then I don't know what to do I'm still in love with you
5.
And if you know this feeling Come sit next to me We'll cry a thousand rivers And try and flood the sea
6.
Barbarella 03:20
What is happening tonight What is happening outside The world is coming to ... ah erase this What is happening tonight What is happening outside Hide your face behind the glass Watch your own breath blur your sight The stories we tell The books that we both read The planets we travel And the stories we tell to the bartender at night The punkrock bands The weather we both hate The planets we travel And the stories we tell What is happening tonight What is happening outside Put a mood inside your head Put a license on your plate Put a compass in your mind Put a goal behind your work Put a finger up your ass And put it all behind you
7.
And he still runs away You can follow him The easy way But he's still following He will turn around some other day Is it a sin Is this a sin Is my life going to begin You said you're sad and colourblind Are these things really on your mind He shakes your hand, but not your head Will he get you in to bed He's looking at you "Here's looking at you"
8.
The world will come and pass by And we will grow and fly high Like a butterfly I hope that angels come and sit round You know when angels come and sit round I will start to throw them down If you fall down too I'll know why
9.
Oh my You could be mine and You would be happy But I don't care cause I can fall down Do you run back home You're my baby But you are worried Cause you can fall down Into this hole of mine Because you dig it I hope you do I'll be waiting on your doorstep Watching to see you fall Everyone is waiting here to fall Oh my You could be laughing But you are worried That I will find out who you have been talking... Do you follow Baby you say you're anyone But I wouldn't trade you in for a night
10.
Add It Up 02:20
Answer us You have to answer us Cause if you add it up It could be anyone Yes even you my love So if you have the guts
11.
Dans un grenier où je fus enfermé A douze ans j'ai connu le monde J'ai illustré la comedie humaine Dans un cellier And there's thousands more going through the same stuff You'll have to hang on You may have thoughts that tell you you are the only one You'll have to hide them Forever
