Whatever Happens Now Will Be Beautiful One Day 04:27
lyrics

If I could, I would spend all my life traversing meadows in the wonderland of my past where parting words have crystallized and nestled in the wind where those who died are still alive and sunsets never end Old troubles have become lush green hills disappointments are peaceful woods my futile loves and my unfulfilled dreams are sunrays sparkling upon quiet streams My little dreamer let's not worry about today it's gonna slip out of our hands no matter what we do or say it doesn't matter too much if you go away cause whatever happens now will be beautiful one day I'd tell forgotten friends that I love them still they live in precious memories and they always will And all my long lost enemies – for what, I don't quite know Now the war is over, let's get drunk and let it go My guiding spirit let's not worry about today it's gonna slip out of our hands no matter what we do or say I won't be too sad if you go away cause whatever happens now will be beautiful one day Someone broke my heart when I was twenty-two I never saw her again, it was a world left cold and blue But she's happy and she's here with me and all my bygone friends at the party in my mansion in the past that never ends Oh my days are strewn with worries and the future's out of hand I'm fighting cold and chasing ghosts in a wild and windy land time heals my heart just like spring melts the snow calms the restless waters and makes dandelions grow My jaded brothers let's not worry about today it's gonna take us by surprise no matter what we do or say don't lose your colours if the moment slips away cause whatever happens now will be beautiful one day Tell me that there's nowhere else you'd rather be right now your words will stand forever, reappear in different light My love's a buried treasure on an island far away I've got nothing to lose - it's already mine forever Oh sleepless lovers, let's not worry about today it's gonna shatter and dissolve no matter what we do or say I won't be too sad when it slips away cause whatever happens now will be beautiful one day

Return To The Scene 04:57
lyrics

I swear I will return I swear I will return Return to the scene be what I'm meant to be finally You woke me up, you bitch you phony usurper of human affection you degenerate, sacrilegious sycophant You woke me up now you'll pay the price you'll be forsaken, be forgotten you'll be possibly forgiven, and I'll rise and fly and fly and be gone and fly and fly away You woke me up, thank God Now, I swear, I will return Return to the scene take up every forgotten dream set them free... Like a squid from the ocean armed with black ink I will teach you devotion I will make your ships sink Like a scroll of old wisdom buried in a pyramid I will unfold and amaze all the world will hear of it I swear I will return You spin your webs and you'll end up a spider you'll be alone in a corner in a world where no one else can live You reek of depravity when you speak of effectivity you're pungent with anxiety for your vile self-dishonesty You fight for your pride but there are more important things I can soar to that roof without even lifting my wings I'm so glad that I don't have to be like you and I swear I will return Return to the scene return to the scene to the scene Like an old motorcyclist from the second world war I will ride into your towns and declare martial law Like a song from the 80's in a David Lynch film I will come through your radios and sweep you into my realm Oh that I wasted my lifeblood on you oh the things I can make myself believe I have to do Oh my true friends, I miss you and I love you and now I swear I will return

Going Under 03:58

Me I don't want to be I don't have to be free I don't want to I don't need to always see and when the sun is blazing it's easy to forget When I'm in this sleep I don't need to be I don't have to be strong I can enjoy the things that I know are really wrong it's a soft slumber and I'm gone Oh heavens I'm going under I don't want to face the world Oh heavens I'm going under In my fortress, all alone Me I don't want to be I don't have to be free I don't want to I don't need to always see so into life's basement I flee Oh heavens I'm going under I don't want to face the world Oh heavens I'm going under In my fortress, all alone Oh world, look at me just take me out of this misery give me pain and suffering as long as it's the real thing Me I don't want to be I don't have to be free I don't want to I don't have to do the right thing oh I'll do it one day someday Oh heavens I'm going under I don't want to face the world Oh heavens I'm going under the truth stares me in the eye so I turn the other cheek Oh get away from me just leave my heart to its reveries give me pain and suffering just let it be the real thing Just let the ice rain down My heart will rot in this tourist town dirty truth, just do me in as long as you're the real thing

Luna i verden 04:54
lyrics
download
Verden ser hvor jeg savner dig og alt ånder fred Du fik forstadens søndagsdøs til at glimte af livlighed Bare der var en anden vej Så ku' vi mødes der ved broen og flyve væk over tagene uden at sige det til nogen Luna i verden Luna i tankerne Luna under havene og aldrig et andet sted Luna bag skyen Luna i byens lys Luna fra en anden tid; hvor jeg er, der er du med Og vi har været fugle og fæle dybhavsdyr og vundet vilde vidder på dybhavseventyr og du er i Østersøen og jeg i Køge Bugt om aftenen taler vi fiskesprog om tanker på himmelflugt Luna i verden Luna i tankerne Luna under havene og aldrig et andet sted Luna bag skyen Luna i byens lys Luna fra en anden tid; hvor jeg er, der er du med Lad tiden blæse, lad solen stå op du er der alligevel - en del af min krop andre byer, susende år livet er vores i dag som i går Tusinde understrømme forbinder min hjerne til din vi bliver væk i snørklet snak og selvopspundne grin Og jeg må savne dig så længe og så håbløst som jeg vil og ingenting kan stoppe mig hvis det er det, jeg vil Luna i verden Luna i tankerne Luna under havene og aldrig et andet sted Luna bag skyen Luna i byens lys Luna fra en anden tid; hvor jeg er, der er du med (Vores gode stunder og drømmesyn er stjerner på himlen og brosten i byen Én gang i livet, hvert hundrede år resten er stilhed,men intet forgår)

The Last Song I'll Ever Write 04:15
lyrics
download
If you'd like to hear my voice to listen now is your only choice 'cause this is the last song I'll ever write I decided this was my thing my destiny to write and to sing I thought that it felt right but here I am - the last song I'll ever write Should have made it electro-pop cause that's where I set up shop but now it's this cabaret-style thing that you hear I hope I've said something good and I hope I said it well if I didn't, now it's too late cause this is the last song I'll ever create We who work in the tower of song have a bad habit of dying young but now that's not gonna happen to me I'll be living to a hundred and three and existence will now be easy and light cause this is the last song I'll ever write You know it's hard to create art because it has to come from the heart and it always comes out wrong like when you're trying to recall a dream and when it inevitably comes out wrong and when that's gone on for quite long it starts to feel like it's you who's really all wrong but now I'm right and the future's bright cause this is the last song I'll ever write You may think that organ solo was a little bit weird but I don't care not now in my last moment on the air Now I'll make a chicken sandwich and maybe get a job in an office suburban life, here I come cause this is my last, ever, song It's not quite a happy ending there's no use pretending it's more like a novel by Kafka that got cut off because he went and died That's how it is with this last song I'll ever write Can you imagine what will be so limitless and free now I'll drink up my tea and turn off the light with the last song I'll ever write

about

So here I go squeezing out another five drops into the great sea of songs. For what, I don't quite know. Never mind that it took me three months to finish this, during which I frequently considered how nice it would be to die instead. I'm both proud, fascinated and appalled by myself, the same way I feel about people who run ultra marathons on the Great Wall of China. Really impressive and all, but why the hell do they bother?

Special thanks to no one but myself. I made this album with absolutely no help from anyone else, except of course the people and things, and possibly animals and plants, who inspired me to write the songs.

In conclusion, I am happy to announce that I am, as of today, and as the last track not so subtly hints, done with this shit. I leave behind this strange, imperfect body of work of which I can truly say: I did my best. I sincerely tried to express myself. It was not for fun. It was not a drill. I pulled those songs from the staggering edge of raw existence. Yes the pop songs too. And I did not settle for anything, except of course in terms of production where I occasionally settled the fuck out of everything.

I am, however, not prone to being dramatic, so realistically we're probably looking at several sellout-reunions across the years, to the great delight of my dwindling number of fans (will eventually dwindle from about 12 to about 3).

Now I'm off to be boring and only a little depressed! So long, suckers.
