3. Another planet
4. Electric bear
5. No encores
6. Shrink
7. Your signs



1. Day 7


The shore
I can see the shore from here
I see your town
I see your house
And you
The scores
I count the letters of your name
I count the days ītill you are here
Again

Day 7
And I love the lord
Day 7...



2. Chemicals


Chemicals will hit you
Chemicals will knock you down
Is it over cos you feel no pain
Throwing me around
You attack my head with numbers
You attack my room with things of glass
You attack my neighbours till you found someone
Whoīs cleaning up the mess

You are no good
You are no good
Cos I know you canīt sleep
Till you know your overbarrence makes me creep



3. Another planet


You are
Another planet
Cos you are
You stare
Kiss me from above, donīt you?
Say why
I need no reason to deny
Say why
Kiss me from above, donīt you
Try
You lose your planet if you try

Dreams your hands are seeking
Dreams your head is falling off
Dreams they never call you
To show you dreams from the buildings of above

(maybe the second part is totally wrong...)



4. Electric bear


When I saw the electric bear
Now heīs always there
I can talk to him behind my door
Talk of your eyes every day
Cos they donīt look old
And I never feel any cold

All the things I do with you
They donīt fade away



5. No encores


Say one youīre none
Say two youīre naked
Say three itīs all been done
These numbers help
These numbers for you
They stay when you are gone

Count one you move
Count all the others that disappeared
Cos you never left
I count the reasons why you are here
Cos youīve never known me - no encores
But youīve never known me - no encores



6. Shrink


Shifts you
Clips you
Takes all your friends away from you
Say face me
Embrace me
Take all these friends away from me
Are you here?
Two hours into mourn your near

I get smaller cos I drive
Till Iīm tiny when Iīm back at home
So tiny I canīt even climb a chair
I canīt call you
I canīt drive
I canīt reach the phone canīt reach the line
Itīs why I never wanna go from here



7. Your signs


Itīs fine
Until you know youīre here
And youīre alone inside this head
On your shoulder

Your heartīs so fine
You got me by the neck
You never change
Your signs
