1. Stress

[Music: Daniel Gildenlow / Daniel Magdic, lyrics: Daniel Gildenlow]

(Watching corners and crossings
Watching all the red lights
Watching the stress
Watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars
I'm drowning in this mess)

Help me! Rescue me! Save me! Set me free!

It is strange - among all people I feel alone.
Very strange - despite the sun I'm cold to the bone!

Up on the rooftops I feel alive
Lovely detached from the human hive.
Up on the rooftops I feel so free.
Far from the city that's suffocating me.

Is this what we want?

I believe: beneath the surface we turn to stone.
Can't you see?
We meet our neighbours over the phone
I'm awake - watch me! I'll escape - watch me!
If this is progress help me to regress!

Alone by the ocean I feel alive
Lovely detached from the human hive.
Alone by the ocean I feel so free.
Far from the city that's suffocating me.

You live too shallow, act too deep!
Fail to sow but proudly reap!

Alright

...and you still need more!
Indians show us where we're from
Stress indicates what we've all become!

(Watching corners and crossings
Watching all the red lights
Watching the stress
Watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars
I'm drowning in this mess)

In time you'll awake!
In time you'll escape!
In time you'll awake!
You'll see what's at stake!

Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?
Well
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Guess it is
No?
Is it?

(Watching corners and crossings
Watching all the red lights
Watching the stress)

2. Linoleum

She keeps the world at bay
With walls built to stand come-what-may
And with that coldness on display, they held until today
She would hold her own
Running all alone
Ridding her road of every grain to stay in control

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up and stored

She's won every war
And when she's out that door
She will push ahead of you, frowning at the poor
She would move so fast not to end up last
Aiming for the finish line to smile at those she'd passed

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up and stored
And stored
The bottled up and stored

Sometimes, ooh, just sometimes
That's really all it takes:
A hand on her shoulder
Then she breaks

Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(Yes then)
A word of kindness and she breaks
(She breaks)
And then the sum of damage done
(Well she breaks)
Spills out on stale linoleum
(She breaks)

Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(She breaks)
A gentle touch and then she breaks
(She breaks)
To see the sum of damage done
(She breaks)
Stain this linoleum
(Oh, she breaks)

Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(Oh, she breaks)
A word or touch and then we break
(Oh, she breaks)
And all this world's linoleum
(She breaks)
Can't hold the sum of damage done

She's becoming her last casualty
If she breaks then at last she'll be free
But she keeps it together once more
To run another day to fight another war

Itsy bitsy spider
Climbed the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Now she stays on the ground
So she'll never fall
See she would rather drown than lose control

3. To The Shoreline

I'm far from sober.
And she's far from sane.
As she takes my hand and she pulls me away.

She leads me down to the shoreline.
She leads me down to the sea.
She pulls me into the water.
And then she whispers to me,

“Love, you know that I can make you stronger.
Love, you know that I can make you brave.
But there's one thing that you must remember:
That I am too far gone for you to save.”

Sand through her fingers.
The night slips away.
She gave me her body
But never her name.

I followed her to the shoreline.
I'd follow her to the grave.
Two sinking ships in the darkness.
And we are much too close to break away.

And I know that she will make me stronger.
And I know that she will make me see.
And I know that she will make me younger.
But I don't know what more she'll do to me.

She said,

“You know that I can make you stronger.
Love, you know that I can make you brave.
But there's one thing that you must remember:
That I am too far gone for you to save.”

4. Holy Diver

[originally by Dio]

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh, what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh, don't you see what I mean

Gotta get away
Holy Diver

That's right
You're Holy, Holy Diver

C'mon

Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'til you see the light
Oh, we will pray it's all right

Gotta get away, get away
Gotta get away, get away

Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel

Holy Diver
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
That's right
Holy Diver
Holy Diver

5. 1979

It was '79
and the world seemed more kind.
And it was still okay to be modest.
The sixties were gone
but their soul lingered on.
And the eighties were still just a promise.

And I remember me and you.

Two children of six
still playing with sticks.
And whatever we found in the forest.
Our grandpas were strong
and our parents still young.
And the world seemed a little more honest.

And I remember me and you.

All still fine.
1979.
Left behind.
1979.

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
'Cause I remember me and you.

6. She Likes To Hide

[Limited Edition Digipack Track]

She likes to hide
She likes to hide
She likes to hide and I don't know why
I'd ask but she's too hard to find
She likes to hide.

This Tuesday I almost tried to ask her why
But she got that look in her eyes
She likes to hide
She likes to hide

Last night I asked her why and first she smiled
But then she just broke down and cried
She likes to hide
She likes to hide

She told me that she'll be fine and she's all mine
But I'm pretty sure that she lied
See, she likes to hide

She plays this game where I'm supposed to find out
The reason why she likes to hide
She plays that game each night and I fail to find out
'Cause I am where I like to hide
I am where I like to hide
I am where I like to hide
I am where I like to hide

7. Chain Sling

\"Please let me be yours, please never leave
Please stay here close to me
All love we shared—where is it now?
Please let me be better than I was
Please don't give up on us
The thought of leaving you—I don't know how.\"

\"I can feel the pain you have inside
I see it in your eyes
Those eyes that used to shine for me
I can feel the wildness in your heart
That's tearing us apart
My love, how can I help if you don't want me?\"

\"There is nothing you can do to help me now.
I am lost within myself as so many times before.
There's nothing you can do to ease my pain.
I am so, so sorry but if you love me you must let go.\"

Two young souls in the dance of a chain sling
Love once born from the ink of Solitude
Bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end
Walking their Remedy Lane trough this interlude of pain

Who will be there now?
When I lose my one true love?
I am falling now
Darkness below and above

\"There is nothing you can do to help me now.
I am lost within myself as so many times before.
There's nothing you can do to ease my pain.
I am so, so sorry but if you love me you must let go.\"

Two young souls in the dance of a chain sling
Love once born from the ink of Solitude
Bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end
Walking their Remedy Lane through this interlude of pain

Who will be there now
When I lose my one true love?
Have I lost myself?
To love someone else...

\"Please let me be yours please never leave
Please stay here close to me
All love we shared where is it now?
Please let me be better than I was
Please don't give up on us
The thought of leaving you...\"

I do not know how

8. Perfect Day

[originally by Lou Reed]

Just a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie, too
And then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun

Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

And it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me
