If the Bird Wont Sing

if this was the last song I wrote for you
could it be the way that I want it to
could it make you smile, could it make you cry
if the bird wont sing I’ll make it
I could go and tell you I've been alone
show up at your door like it was my home
I could be a pest, giving it my best
if the bird wont sing I'll kill it
I could name the things I'm not gonna do
I could count the days and the minutes too
will it make you mine if I bide my time?
If the bird wont sing I'll wait
If this was the last song I wrote for you
I would have no clue 'bout what I should do
so I will prepare songs you'll never hear
if the bird wont sing I'll sing instead

Everyone I know is stupid
charmingly childish at best
everyone I know is scary
everyone's a pest
but I might have found someone
someone who's right for me
I found him on the radio
he's singing me to sleep
Reaching for the radio boy
and reaching for the stars
how they are exploding
and take million years to shine this far
listen to me radio boy
I'll only say this twice:
I'm gonne blow myself up
and I hope you see my light
Radio boy I'll be your radio girl
sing 'bout life and love and death
from the other side of the world
there's only one condition
if I show you my ambition
and give you all my heart
you'd better listen
Turns out on the radio
there's 7000 men
7000 girls as well
and I'm in love with them
turns out on the radio there's 7 000 000 songs
7 000 000 places to be
I'm never coming home
Radio boy I'll be your radio girl
sing 'bout life and love and death
from the other side of the world
there's only one condition
if I show you my ambition
and give you all my heart
you'd better listen
If I scream, will you listen?
if I turn up my guitar?
will you see that I'm brittle?
that I'm shaking where I stand?
if I scream, will you hold me?
will you guide me through the dark?
if I scream, will you scream?
will it be in harmony?
Radio boy I'll be your radio girl
sing 'bout life and love and death
from the other side of the world
there's only one condition
if I show you my ambition
and give you all my heart
you'd better listen
Radio boy I'll be your radio girl
sing 'bout life and love and death
from the other side of the world
there's only one condition
if I show you my ambition
and give you all my heart
you'd better listen

Let's Not Dance

Let's not dance
let's remember the divorce rate
let's not dance
let's remember our last heartbreaks
let's not foxtrot, tango or waltz
let's just sit in the bar and talk
let's not dance
let's not dance
let us save ourselves the trouble
Let's just talk
but don't let it be too deeply
let's just talk
let's not get to whispering sweetly
let's talk weather, world and sports
where the celebrities go to resorts
let's just talk
let's just talk
let us save ourselves the trouble
let's just drink
let eachother be a mistake
let's just drink
there'll be less orgasms to fake
let's just drink
I wanna do you but I don't wanna break my heart
Let's not dance
we're gorillas, we're not princes
let's not dance
see your weary heart it winces
let's go home and do the dirty
and whoever wakes up first he'll mercy kill the other with a pillow

No one's gonna love you if you cut your hair
No one's gonna 'preciate seeing your ears
no one's gonna say
no one's gonna think
I like your new thing
No one's gonna love you if you stain your skirt
No one here would love you if they knew your dirt
If you go away
you don't stand a chance
so learn the dance
Think of all the work it was to win them over
do you think it's in your power
to do that again:
making a friend
without your hair there
No one's gonna love you if you cut your hair
No one's gonna love you if you leave it there
no one likes a babe
no one likes a punk
they look like junk
Think of all the work it was to win them over
do you think it's in your power
to do that again:
making a friend
without your hair there
Think of all the work it was to win them over
do you think it's in your power
to do that again:
making a friend
without your hair there
No one's gonna love you if you cut your hair
but you should do it
it's getting in your eyes

One day I'll be a captain
or at least I'll have a boat
then I'd overcome whatever
even castles that have moats
I would bring one hundred sailors
I will bring one hundred friends
we'll go everywhere
and no one tells us when to go to bed
and the larva of the moth in her cocoon
she dreams of fire
while little me in my little room
I dream about the sea
One day I'll be a monarch
or at least I'll have a land
in the court there'll be three troubadours
and a rock'n'roll band
I will have a thousand subjects
I will have a thousand friends
I'll do anything
and no one tells me when to go to bed
and the larva of the moth in her cocoon
she dreams of fire
while little me in my little room
I dream about the sea
You can run and tell the king
that I'm coming for his things
yeah, I'm gonna take the castle
while I do it I will sing
you can run and tell his knights
if they're putting up a fight, yeah
if they're doing what is right
they're gonna die tonight
and the larva of the moth in her cocoon
she dreams of fire
while little me in my little room
I dream about the sea
I hope I'll be a butterfly
but I'll settle for moth
I'll take anything, yeah anything
with legs or wings or both
I'll fly very far away
or run very far away
I'll go everywhere
and no one tells me when to go to bed
and the larva of the moth in her cocoon
she dreams of fire
while little me in my little room
I dream about the sea
and the larva of the moth in her cocoon
she dreams of fire
while little me in my little room
I dream about the sea

You said you would kill yourself over new year's
by the time I knew it would have been too late
so whatever it was that kept you alive over new year's
I hope it stays
