Альбом Idlewild

He can't take it all in, he refuses to take it all in 
he has no idea where he's at or where he's been 
And he asks himself who will be the queen of the troubled teens? 

Who will be the queen of the troubled teens? 

Who will be the queen of the troubled teens? 

Pull out his lies then apologize (x6) 

But are apologies really accepted?

when it feels like
when it feels like
culture gets too much for me
I go, go outside
singing songs to alibis
singing songs to alibis 
a song is a beautiful lie
and I know that one day when you die
maybe you will fly
and now I sit alone and sigh a song is a beautiful lie

You've gotta put on a punk overcoat if you want to wear that overcoat
You've gotta put on a punk overcoat if you want to
You've gotta put on a punk overcoat if you want to 

I'm sitting on a chandelier, you're falling down on 
I'm sitting on a chandelier, you're falling down on 
I'm sitting on a chandelier, you're falling down on 

Chandelier - yay 

She's got a car crash for a soul
through restriction and repetition I'm growing old 
And it doesn't feel like this 
Everyone doesn't know what they really can do 
No one is like you 

No one is a god and nobody's like you 
No one is a god and nobody likes you

The sea is never calm
It always blows and knows it too

This is happiness and I fall

I look outside, I look outside, I look out
Yeah!, yeah!, yeah!

You see that your only young once in this world
You see that your only young once in this world

Are you a lot like me 
'Cos i haven't seen anyone like you here 
Are you a lot like me 

This is worse

I felt alone
I put on my new shoes and hit the town
I still felt alone
I’m convinced everyone’s built to be put down

I had to say (I had to say)
What I wanted to say (what I wanted to say)
I had to say (what I wanted to say)
Where are you going to stay?

I felt alone
Independence day comes when you’re down
Still felt alone
Ten times I thought I’d almost found you 

Sometimes simple chords are the best
The simple approach is the best
If it makes more sense than any other
It makes more sense than any other

I felt alone
A failed Blake knocked me to the ground
I still felt alone
My attempts at chivalry fell without a sound
I felt alone
So put on your new shoes and leave this town
Still felt alone
I’m convinced, everyone’s built to be put down

The simple chords are the best
Sometimes the simple approach is the best
If it makes more sense than any other
It makes more sense than any other

This fascination
where did it come from?
what does it mean
when your fascinated by things?

but you know, you'll never see

i overheard this conversation
as it started to belong to me

your convinced that where your born is where your from
no, your convinced that where your born is not where your from
its only where your
waiting to see it through
and not understanding why i had to

be reminded that i'll tell you when i
waiting for longer than i had to
or could you just tell me now
couldnt you tell me, now?

even more money spent
nothing left to go round
even more money spent
nothing left to go round

all these descriptions
where did they come from?
do they describe what you mean
perfectly?
and how can i explain to you
how i know that
its a natual order of the things that i believe

your convinced that where your born is where your from
no, your convinced that where your born is not where your from
its only where your
waiting to see it through
not understanding why i had to

be reminded that i'll tell you when i
waiting for longer than i had to
or could you just tell me now?
couldnt you tell me, now?

even more money spent
nothing left to go round
even more money spent
nothing left to go round

First and foremost you've been the ultimate friend
But you know that's not a passport to me

It's seems secondary to the official reasons I have
But you know they're not right
They're not supposed to be right

Such a royal misfit
You demand the highest respect
Such a royal misfit
Your demands should be higher

It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
It wasn't nothing

Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging

First and foremost what you know isn't everything you are
Or everything you know it to be

It seems secondary that the real real reason I have
When you know it's not right
It's not supposed to be right

Such a royal misfit
You demand the highest respect
Such a royal misfit
Your demands should be higher

It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
It wasn't nothing

Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging

Everything you are won't last longer
Everything you are won't last longer
Won't last longer
Won't last longer

Give me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind
Tell me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind

The world seems so small
The sooner you realise it
As people we are so small
I know you've realised it

It might be a good thing if there were no heroes
I can't take heroes
It might be a good thing if we had no heroes
There are no heroes

Teach me the easiest thing I can do
Let me blank it from my mind
I'll gather up all my remaining education
And blank it from my mind

The world seems so small
The sooner you realise it
As people we are so small
I know you've realised it

It might be a good thing if there were no heroes
I can't take heroes
It might be a good thing if we have no heroes
There are no heroes

So why do you always hinder me?

Why do you always hinder me?
I'm lost in the remote past passed
There's no need to remind me

It's the nothing that I know that makes me feel more comfortable
To be different, rather than useful
And this nothing that I know it makes me feel more comfortable
when I'm distant rather than crucial

And every voice I've ever heard
Has never made much sense
They never make much sense to me (and what if...)

Years will make you see things in the distance
How'd you see things in the distance? (and what if...)
Years will make you see things in the distance
How will I see things in the distance?

The more nothing that I know, it makes me feel more important
Or maybe just more intelligent than I first thought
But providing you with answers isn't what I'm hoping for
It's only so that I will not be different

And every voice I've ever heard (makes no sense)
Has never made much sense (never makes much sense)
They never make much sense to me
And every voice I've ever heard (makes no sense)
They never made much sense (never makes much sense)
They'll never make much sense to me (and what if...)

Years will make you see things in the distance
How'd you see things in the distance? (and what if...)
Years will make you see things in the distance
How will I see things in the distance?

And what if the years won't see it
And what if the years don't see it
The way I want them to?
And what if the years won't see it
What if the years don't see it
The way I want them to?

And every voice I've heard
They'll make no sense to me
And every voice I've heard
They'll make no sense to me
And every voice (and every voice I've ever heard)
I've heard (they're told to make no sense)
They'll make no sense to me
And every voice (and every voice I've ever heard)
I've heard (they're told to make no sense)
They'll make no sense to me

See you get older every year
But you don't change
Or I don't notice you changing
I think about it every day
But only for a little while
And then a feeling

I'll never know which way to flow
Set a course that I don't know
I'll never know which way to flow
Set a course that I don't know

The wind's blowing in my face
Lately found it hard to keep the place
And I'm looking for a place to grow
But only for a little while
And then a feeling

I'll never know which way to flow
Set a course that I don't know
I'll never know which way to flow
Set a course that I don't know

Aim for the body rare, you'll see it on TV
The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini
See the girl on the TV, dressed in the bikini
She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the H-bomb

And I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for the country fair, you read it in the papers
The worst happens any week, a scandal on the front page
See the happy pair smiling close like they're monkeys
They wouldn't think so but they're holding themselves down

And I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for politicians fair, who'll treat your vote, hope well
The last thing they'll ever do, act in your interest
Look at the world through your polarized glasses
Things'll look a whole lot better for the working classes

You blame no one there’s no one to blame
Now only your name remains
You’re not a ghost you're just a girl who lost hope
And certain words spoken convince you to call

Just give me one more chance
One more chance to claim
Why people don’t feel the same

I need one more chance
One more chance to explain
Why there’s no such thing as a claim to fame

So you hold your breath until it feels like it’s left you
Eternity feels like it’s leaving me to be
Haunted by any age that I choose
In a faded cord coat and faded shoes

Just give me one more chance
One more chance to claim
Why people don’t feel the same

I need one more chance
One more chance to explain
Why there’s no such thing as a claim to fame

There’s just chances
we’ve lost those chances
And no one will take the blame

(Wondering wondering along the road)
(Wondering wondering along the road)

Give me one more chance
One more chance to claim
Why people don’t feel the same

I need one more chance
One more chance to explain
Why there’s no such thing as a claim to fame
To fame
And no one will take the blame

How did I find myself in a world,
I can’t see through,
And I’m standing right beside you,
I’m hoping that you don’t move,

Blocking our views so they don’t get older,
But you keep on moving over,
You become part of the view,
And part of the world that I see through,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

You need everything in moderation,
Even moderation,
Under a sunless western sky,
You put toothpaste under your eyes,
To make yourself cry at your graduation,
And the further and further away we move,
From ourselves my name still depends on you,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

Oh, ohh ohhh,
Ohh ohhhh,
Ohh ohhhh,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

And you have been gone too long,
Gone too long,
Gone too long,

You won't let me change
You don't let me change
Tell me I can grow up
And age will forget that I'm old

You won't let me change
You don't let me change
The story is already told

As tears get mixed up with rain
Every time I mention, I mention in vain
How do you expect to be free
When all your politics where written in
The lipstick that kissed me

You won't let me change
You don't let me change
Tell me I can grow up
And age will forget that I'm old

You don't let me change
You don't let me change
The story is already told

If the world keeps blowing
In storm around us all
All the words are frozen
As the rain turns into snow fall
So happy I was
To serve brandy on the tray
And honesty isn't poetry
Just a truthful way to complain

You don't let me change
You won't let me change
Tell me I can grow up
And age will forget that I'm old

You won't let me change
You don't let me change
The story is already told

By the harbour I harbor
The strangest memories
Older than I could ever be
Stranded in nostalgia
So tonight i'll try harder
But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me
In a cast that's taking places
I'm not sure of where I want to be
Stand up, stand up and stand out
Applaud El Captain
And jump up to cheers from the crowd
Stand up, stand up and stand out
And I hope you take your camera
To photograph my tears as they hit the ground

No one even listens
The same way that no one ever laughs
I'm taking the car out of the snow
I'm wondering where the summer went to
Circled by your secrets
I'm hoping that they don't include me
At least I'm in good company
Because there's no one else around except me

Stand up, stand up and stand out
Applaud el captain
Just to watch the world slow itself
Stand up, stand up and stand out
And I hope you took your camera
The silence makes the loudest sound

It seems far too easy to say the same things
I'll choose my own way to use my life up
And finally I found a new way to say the same things in imaginary ways
I use my life up

You were looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future

Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
Through your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future

Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance
Hoping to see the future

Looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future
In your pictures of the distance

Winter is blue
Living is gone
Some are just sleeping
In spring they'll go on
Our love is dead
Nothing but crying
Love will not find even
One more new morning

Why must i stay here
Rain comes i'm sitting here
Watching love moving
Away into yesterday

Winter is blue
Everything's leaving
Fires are now burning
And life has no reason
I am alone
Waiting for nothing
If my heart freezes
I won't feel the breaking

Why must i stay here
Rain comes i'm sitting here
Watching love moving
Away into yesterday

In the garden of Eden, a long time ago,
Yeah, there was a story I'm sure you will know.
I'm sure you remember, I know you believe,
The story of Adam and Eve.

In the garden of Eden where live began,
Yes the very beginning of woman and man.
I'm sure you remember and I know you believe,
The story of Adam and Eve.

They were in the garden while they both fell in love,
Sheltered by the guiding hand of the one above.
Life was filled with happiness until one day around,
A very great temptation, you know how it goes.

In the garden of Eden, a long time ago,
There was a story I'm sure you will know.
I'm sure you remember, I'm sure you believe,
The story of Adam and Eve.

In the garden of Eden, a long time ago, such a story
