Lemonade

The sun, It is shining
The birds know the time
It's bright in the morning
It's quarter to nine
The dew that was building all over the windowsill is still there but barely
I wake you. You're happy
We get in the car
We start up the engine
Don't get very far
The traffic is building, We both know it sucks
But there's no good reason why our day should be fucked
Let's slip down the side street
and find a new way
Let's go have a picnic
Let's rescue the day
The plans that we made
The plans that have changed
Let's work with these lemons
Let's make lemonade
from the waters we find
It's starting to rain
The sweet little things that we find on the way
It's been a bad day where nothing has worked
Disappointed now but it isn't the first time
The shit storm is stirring
The day is getting worse
I've just dropped by car keys
and you've lost your purse
It's one under boiling
We're stuck in the car
The air isn't working
The windows are stuck
Fuck me!
I don't get why the happens to us
We're really good people
with really bad luck
I stay optimistic but it's getting hard
There is only two litres of fuel in the car
Let's slip down the side street
and find a new way
Let's go hhome for dinner
Let's rescue the day
The plans that we made
The plans that have changed
Let's work with these lemons
Let's make lemonade
from the waters we find
It's starting to rain
The sweet little things that we find on the way
It's been a bad day where nothing has worked
Disappointed now but it isn't the first time

Put away those fags
Put away your matches
Put away your pipe
and replace it with patches
Now we're selling oxygen
for less than we sold water
You can use it every day
Hello! Can I take your order?
Every bottle of liquid life
comes sent with these free stainless knives
And you can breath it every night
until we tell you not to
Innocuous air
You can breath it anywhere
We can repair
We filter out the harmful ray of starry nights and sunny days
Please call now
Price is down
Water drowns
So buy air from the television
Have you wondered why
you're snoring when you sleep at night?
'Cause air is thick and your nose it thin
they just don't go together
But now we've made a remedy
to help you get a deeper sleep
We don't want to sound like creeps
but it makes your sex life better
Every drop of liquid life
will help suppress your appetite
Your skin more smooth, Your buttocks tight
but your lungs will turn to leather

Kate song

You are always dreaming of strange thing and such
I've never been in love with somebody so much
It's so nice
I'll try to figure out why
You know that you're better than I will ever be
If it takes me forever, let me sing you to sleep
so goodnight
I'll kiss you when it feels right
You close your eyes
and I watch with a smile
As you're breathing me in
Like you do all the time
I'll try not to breath
I'll try not to move you
sitting in the shadow of the TV's light glow
Now you know
You're what I've been waiting for
You're happy when you're warm
You're sad when you're not
so I'm gonna keep you warm
because you're all that I've got
You're a rock
You know that you're better
than I will ever be
If it takes me forever
let me sing you to sleep
so goodnight
I think I figured out why
You close your eyes
and I watch with a smile
I'm breathing you in
like I do all the time
I'll try not breath
I'll try not to move you
I know you have the shadow of the TV's light glow
Now you know
You're what I've been waiting for

Our House

Falling a swirling
the dust settles in
Floats like a feather
It's made of your skin
Breathing and sneezing
I can't hold you in
Blow out your essence
and breath it again
We don't expect much
But you can be sure
You'll be there forever
'Cause I don't clean the floor
There is mold on the ceiling
The kitchen is green
I laugh when you yell at the washing machine
We don't like the neighbours selling cars on the street
We live our lives in the place where we sleep
We don't expect much
but you can be sure
You'll be there forever
'Cause I don't clean the floor
My skin is your dust
But I can't be sure
I'll stay there for long because
You always clean the floor inside
Our house
In the middle of the main street
Our House
Where the stray cats come to meet
Our house
It's a very, very, very old house
Our house
I think It's falling
I think it's falling down
There's no chips and gravy
at any place we've gone
I guess we don't need it
but the search carries on
We hate the neighbours
I'm sure they hate me
I write songs about them
They're trying to sleep
Fuck them! It's
Our house
And you will find
We can be fine
sharing some dust
and wasting our time

You already told me that you would be my wife/So you're stuck with me for life
I hope that you thought it through
Because I know you're messy/ I know you're moody
We like some pretty stupid movies
And I like to watch them late at night with you
Because you're kind of a bitch
And you're a little bit of a jerk
But when we're together
We've got a way of making it work
You can take all the things that people always knew to be true
but they're not about me and they're not about you
Together, We're exceptional
If it feels too good
It's probably too good to be true
But that doesn't apply to you
It doesn't apply to you
Love can only feel this exciting when it's new
But it doesn't apply to you
It doesn't apply to you
When I first saw you
I thought you looked a little bit weird
Purple hair and your little beard
He looks different, I thought to myself
Then you were informed that I was a weirdo
Different from some
But you were perfect for me
and I can't see my life without you there.
