Damien Rice - Coconut skins

Tekst :

You can hold her hand
And show her how you cry
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands:
And then roll over and die!

You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking
Everyone else s permission:
And then run away and hide!

You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass!
No need to know
What you re doing or waiting for:
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I ve been licking coconut skins
And we ve been hanging out!
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt

You can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs
And go lookin for:
Tell her you re searching for her soul!

You can wait for ages
And watch your compost turn to coal
But time is contagious:
Everybody s getting old.

You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass!
No need to know
What you re doing or waiting for:
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I ve been cooking coconut skins
And we ve been hanging out!
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt.

    Squeezing the puzzle together


    Death don t walk in the front door
    He sneak in the back like a thief in the night
    Death don t fight like a brave man
    He put a knife in your back as you stand in the dark
    Lord how I wish
    That you could hear this song
    Death don t care if you...

    Burnt by the sun

    Atom-smashers in the cocktail lounge tonight
    Opera singers in the graveyard keeping time
    And the DJ mixes them all
    And the music rhymes but it crawls
    And the music comes from hydrogen bombs
    Rock bands died when amateurs won
    Data in a hurry, using...

    Make that money

    When I was a boy
    I never played with toys
    Never had a friend
    Never laughed or cried much
    And when I was a boy
    My father was a man
    With a strict and sturdy hand
    No soft touch

    Make that...

    Flying start

    We took a place in the sun
    to see just what had become
    the warm wind blows constantly
    does the answer still blow, did you find your chateau
    in that mediterranean fantasy

    Chorus:

    Flying Start made the whole world sing
    They...

    I love you more

    I love you, I love you, I love you
    I love you, I love you, I love you
    I love you, I love you, I love you
    I love you, I love you, I loev you

    I love you more than there are ocean grains of sand
    I love...
