STILL THAT BIRD IS SINGING
1. Picture in a Frame
(Erik Flaa & Georg Buljo)
they cut all the trees of Eden
that grew so wild and free
and the parts they kept exactly filled their needs
There is so much more left on the boards
that's cut and thrown away
you will only get the glimpse they want you to see
a constructed version of the scene
that happened once before
will come flashing back repeated fast and slow
who you think I am is based on facts
and thruth is what you've seen
shot from different angels hidden, high and low
can't give you all I've got but you'll have a part
cause I can't seem to get another start
but I will keep on trying
yes, I will keep on trying
and I have kept on since my picture found your frame
I look lost inside this picture
that someone made of me
in your mind I'm stuck as I appear on your wall
there is so much more behind the scenes
that you will never see
this is just a little tiny part of me
can't give you all I've got but you'll have a part
cause I can't seem to get another start
but I will keep on trying
yes, I will keep on trying
and I have kept on since my picture found your frame
2. Hello Movie House
(Erik Flaa & Georg Buljo)
I'm in the meadow
I'm on my back
it's dark and warm
I've taken my shoes off
it's a starlit night
I go back in time
lucky me got widescreen that surrounds me
hello movie house
the moon comes on as a teaser
for a movie to come
about a man who's gone (to the moon)
The Man comes on as a teacher
in a boring class
lost in time
later on the titles come with sunrise
hello movie house
I went to see this movie
with the director himself in the starring role
when he's changing reels he's shooting stars
that are getting older some are already gone
hoppers making soundtrack spinning round and round
I'm starstruck
3. Color for White
(Erik Flaa & Georg Buljo)
everyday green gets blue
everyday blue gets hurt
everyday she gets the dirt
everyday people sigh
everyday people slip
everyday we slide
everyday a lamb will lose its mother
the rainbow lose its color for white
everyday a truth is being altered
a child will catch his mother in lies
everyday looks can kill
everyday eyes don't find a place to rest or sight of land
everyday people die
everyday people smile
everyday they cry
everyday a lamb will lose its mother
the rainbow lose its color for white
everyday a truth is being altered
a child will catch his mother in lies
everyday a girl is getting married
everyday a man says goodbye
everyday a passion loses meaning
love will lose its feeling and fly
4. Gramophone Head
(Georg Buljo)
here I am circling around with just one focus point
that I'm stuck to as I spin around
and my head's getting troubled and I will go dizzy to bed
I get a headache
my body is thrown into gravity forces
because of this track that I'm in
and at this very point I can' jump or get off
I go around at the same place
record will break when I'm gone
while we wait for the big day
surround me surround me now
making waves making circles
put me to bed
gramophone head
my face is red I presume but I'm burried in black
and I couldn't care less cause I'm stuck on this track
I have no more control over what's going on
I haven't rested
since I slipped right out of the sleeve and the darkness
they take it for granted that I'm there for their sake
for their entertainment and joy
cuts its way hard through the surface
needle point hits where it's at
while we wait for the big day
surround me surround me now
making waves making circles
put me to bed
gramophone head
5. IOU
(Georg Buljo)
two out of five towns on the plain misbehave
then came the rain, the burning rain, the rain of fire
not fifty, not forty-five, not thirty people of a good kind
not twenty, not even ten, the two angels found only one
everybody's foolin' on the side
everyday got something to hide
tell me if there's something IOU
tell me if there's something IOU
tell me that you never wanted too
to push "undo"
Don't turn your head
don't wanna know what's going on
she threw her eyes at the city
got the looks like a lot of salt
everybody's foolin' on the side
everyday got something to hide
tell me if there's something IOU
tell me if there's something IOU
tell me that you never wanted too
to push "undo"
6. Another Day in the Park
(Erik Flaa & Georg Buljo)
I see a strong chain divide them
still it binds them
the king and the slave
they make a strange pair, this couple
in procession
obsessed by each other in a way
the grass and leaf's gently covered in white blankets
as the great gardener puts the park to bed for thge winter
the man and dog is
obsessed by each other in a way I never seen
this weird human behaviour
and it's hard to believe that it's only
another day in the park
he picks the dirt from his four-legged lord and master
his substitute for a child
how bad he wanted his own kids
the dog meets his need for consideration and care
see how the tail wags the dog
this weird human behaviour
and it's hard to believe that it's only
another day in the park
7. Even Transition
(Erik Flaa & Georg Buljo)
the fog is laying here in front of me
when I'm looking for the sun high above
something caught my eye
it made me feel like a blind
the things i used to do repeatedly
with bad conscience leaving marks
in my stomach, in my mind
I don't get that feeling anymore
guess I've followed the neon lights for too long
yes, I've followed the neon lights for too long
but where did it all go wrong
I guess it's just an even transition
it makes me feel like a blind
it makes me feel like a blind
8. Final Hour
(Erik Flaa)
I'm walking down an old path
with arms put in chains
two minutes left of this walk
before I reach the chair
as I'm lead into the chamber
I look into their eyes
the hate overwhelmes me
at last they're satisfied
still a bird in a tree is singing its song for me
the bird outside the window
is the last thing he can see
now he's strapped into an old chair
and a facemask covers him
on the verge of tears i remember
the life that I have lived
how I learned to ride my first bike
and how I killed an innocent man
still a bird in a tree is singing its song for me
and still that bird is singing
