HEADHUNTER
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Hey hey head hunter
Hey head hunter
I got a friend who's got a map of Iceland on her wall
So what you might ask
Just smoking rocks and boulders
You can't even see most of the year
But the headhunter don't look there
He runs the greatest country club up there
Hey hey head hunter
Hey head hunter
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Rather be where the earth is young and turning
Never a Hell where it's all beginning
These are the ways
These are the days
Say the right things gets you Heavenly rays
So they claim
With no shame
Every day
From the book of the headhunter
You got your monkey suit
You got your silk tie
You got the credentials
Your thumb in every pie
Feel his eyes upon you
Head head head hunter
Head head head hunter
Head head head hunter
Head head head hunter
I'm putting a map of Iceland upon my wall
So many places to me unpronouncable
A really good map of Iceland for my wall
Just to remind me I am combustable

Can't Or Won't

CAN'T OR WON'T
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Something your mother said
Haunting the whirling mist
Father floats beside
Living in fear, never took risks
And your brother
And the Aunts
And the Uncles
Led you on a merry dance
To the mouse cave
Pied Piper
To the dark of doubts
Get over it somehow
Can you hear me now
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
I love you so much
but you're driving me crazy
I know you're confused
I know you're not lazy
but you got some dreams
Plots and themes
But a million monkeys typewriting
Will never write Shakespeare fighting
So make your peace with your past
Then you got a future at last
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Can't or won't
Something someone said
Haunting the whirling mist
But if you want my honest opinion
It's as much use as a cotton wool fist
I love you so much
but you're driving me crazy
I know you're confused
I know you're not lazy
but you got some dreams
Plots and themes
But a million monkeys typewriting
Will never write Shakespeare fighting
So make your peace with your past
Then you got a future at last
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can't or won't
Can't or won't

Reflect And Forget

REFLECT AND FORGET
What if you were hollow
What if you were hollow
Shallow as the moon
Reflected in the puddle
Beneath my feet
Passing under
Meaning nothing
Delusional dream
Meaning nothing
Contemplate if I dare
That you don't really care
And all this time
Your love was a lie
Sleep walking
All our talking
Was just a union of convenience
What if you were hollow
What if you were hollow
What if you were laughing behind my back
Mocking and joking with the pack
A nightmare in my head for sure
Wondering what I am here for
Where do I get this feeling
What have I been reading
Pop physics gonna send us to Hell
Godless telegram from the biggest silence
What if you were hollow
What if you were hollow
Out of the smoke
Forms the mist of us
I'll take it all the way
Any day
It's just too hard to swallow
If you were hollow

HEARTSTONE
I found something beautiful for you
A heart shaped stone
by the blue lagoon
I asked, I received
My gift to you
By the blue lagoon
I don't give as the world will give
You know by now the way to live
Know what's precious, know the threshold
Gravity pulls to what's most special
The pull of the tide
The ripple and heat
Don't be distracted
Follow your feet
I found something beautiful for you
A heart shaped stone
by the blue lagoon
I asked, I received
My gift to you
by the blue lagoon
I found something beautiful for you
A heart shaped stone
by the blue lagoon
I asked, I received
My gift to you
by the blue lagoon
I don't give as the world will give
You know by now the way to live
Know what's precious, know the threshold
Gravity pulls to what's most special
The pull of the tide
The ripple and heat
Don't be distracted
Follow your feet

Attitude

ATTITUDE
Not on a Mayfair gallery wall
Not any Knightsbridge boutique at all
Not the colours of the old school tie
Something money can't buy
Then they feel no better
when they're walking aside
Wanting recognition
Never had to try
Trickle-down effect
Standing in the wet
It's never gonna come to them
Oh attitude
Maybe the one fight
you win when you're losing
The time you rise up
when you're down
The diamonds you crush from the coal face
The trials and tribulations
Making every grain of the attitude
Not in the dreaming spires of old
Not in the royal purple fold
Might as well be a different world
Might as well be a another universe
oh attitude
This is our playground
This is our turf
The reason you want it
Because it's not yours
Always reaching for what's outa sight
You got us preaching
There's no price to put
on attitude
Maybe the one fight
you win when you're losing
The time you rise up
when you're down
The diamonds you crush from the coal face
The trials and tribulations
Making every grain of the attitude

PEOPLE WATCHING
It's funny how people love to sit here people watching
It's funny how I'm watching how people love to sit here
people watching
And maybe somebody's watching me people watching
So I conclude we are all people watching
Watching people watching
If only we could care half as much as we love to stare
A piece of desert they're killing for
over the air
Where the somebody of all somebody's watching from the clouds
for people to exist must be deserving somehow
Who came first
Who is chosen
Sounds to me like greed
Or just boasting
Rather be people watching
Ask everybody what they really want is to live in peace
Observing all the things that make us the same
and make us so unique
Every laugh of a child is a world of hope
Every smile from the old
is infinite space
Looking us in the face
This is what you get
People watching
So I fully recommend
People watching
Another cup of coffee
It's always worth the passing by
Never have to say hello
Never have to say goodbye
People watching
Watching
I got chocolate round my mouth
As I'm looking all around
Who's she got flowers for
What's he walking fast for
Feet upon the ground
and my ticket to ride
It can wait a little while
Feeling like a little child
I got a piece of time
And I'm gonna call it mine
Listening to the street player
Gonna be a rain shower
But I'm under wraps
Nothing to complain about
I got chocolate round my mouth
As I'm looking all around
While I'm looking all around
People watching
People watching
People watching
People watching
Oh oh
