If I Told You, You Were Beautiful (Angelskår)
So you want to play truth or dare
With a guy like me, see what’s underneath
When I’m as open as the clear, blue sky
And as far away, but if you don’t mind
Then I could sure use a girl like you
Would you come with me, if I asked you to?
If I told you you were beautiful?
So long baby
Your affection turns me on
Girl, you drive me crazy
To be with someone, when your on your own
To be with someone like you
4 am I’m outside your house
Your door is shut, but your window’s not
I spot your face as I turn away
There’s a presence made, a yesterday
And I could sure use a girl like you
But would you let me go, if I asked you to?
If I told you you were beautiful?
So long baby
Your affection turns me on
Girl, you drive me crazy
So long baby
It’s the singer not the song
Girl, that catches your fancy
To be with someone, when your on your own
To be with someone like you
By This Time Tomorrow (Angelskår)
Just one more promise and then I’ll leave
The floor turns into velcro under my feet
A big yellow taxi and an empty street
Play past it, play past it
By this time tomorrow I’ll be over you
By this time tomorrow there’ll be nothing left to lose
And it breaks my heart
They all say I should let go of you
That you’re nothing but a mood that I choose
But they don’t know how we spent our days
They don’t know what we’re throwing away
By this time tomorrow I’ll be over you
By this time tomorrow there’ll be nothing left to lose
And it breaks my heart
Just one more phone call just to let you know
To cover my mistakes, to correct my wrongs
Spent so much time trying to let you go
I no longer know if it’s what I want
By this time tomorrow I might give in
By this time tomorrow I might just tell you how I feel
And it will break your heart
Dancing In The Backyard (Angelskår / Fields)
She came to me with that look on her face
There’s freedom she says in changing your ways
I don’t believe in staying the same
Guess I just don’t relate to the things that I say
When there’s no one there to correct me
To put me in place
And there’s going to be a dance in the backyard
Come with me, oh don’t be sad
When there’s a party going on
Come with me, I’ll take you dancing in the backyard
She’s the kind of girl, that’ll mess up your head
There’s freedom she says in being mislead
I don’t belive in being myself
Guess I just don’t approve of the choices I make
When there’s no one there to correct me
To put me in place
And there’s going to be a dance in the backyard
Come with me, oh don’t be sad
When there’s a party going on
Come with me, I’ll take you dancing in the backyard
Come with me, oh don’t be sad
When there’s a party going on
Come with me, I’ll take you dancing in the backyard
dancing in the backyard
dancing in the backyard
dancing in the backyard
She Came Back for Her Smile (Melody: Stieng / Words: Angelskår)
She came back for it
She came back for her smile
She had lost in the night
Snow was falling
Her shadow dressed up in white
She came back for her smile
She came back for it
She came back for her smile
To make sure she was kept in mind
Without a warning
A star fell from the sky
Eager to be part of her sight
She came back for it
She came back just in time
She came back for smile
Smile at Everyone (Angelskår)
So the plane fell down and the pilot never got to see
The hero he became on international TV
And even though the photo shown, was kind of old
The story of his life was beautifully told
When he was young
He used to smile at everyone
And now he’s gone
And even though he’s no part of your life
There’s a feeling of loss that you just can’t put aside
Then at one point you forget how to spell his name
And what breaks your heart is how you manage to stay the same
When he was young
He used to smile at everyone
And now he’s gone
Motor Away (Robert Pollard) Originally performed by Guided By Voices
When you motor away
Beyond the once red lips
You can free yourself from the chance of a lifetime
You can be anyone they told you to
You can belittle every little voice that told you so
Time will come when you add up the numbers
Then the time will come when you motor away
Why don’t you just drive away
When you motor away
Down the icy streets
You can lie to yourself, it’s the chance of a lifetime
You can be anyone they told you to
You can belittle every little voice that told you so
Time will come when you add up the numbers
Then the time will come when you motor away
Why don’t you just drive away
Come on, speed on
The Smell of Coffee (Melody: Stieng / Words: Angelskår)
As you read the morning paper
She’s still sleeping like a child
The smell of coffee from the stove
It wakes her up but you don’t know
Naked feet run down the staircase
A tired smile to keep you warm
The smell of coffee from the stove
It woke her up and now you know
Tired feet run down the staircase
A naked smile to keep you warm
And as you pour the second cup
You realize you’re not alone
Sunburnt Noon (Angelskår)
Tomorrow passed me by
Drew back the curtain and plugged in the lamp
Said; you could borrow my shirt
The Lemonheads playing Amsterdam
And when you’re dressed for work
You scan the headlines on MTV
There’s always someone new
On the verge of happening
And in the world outside
The city’s facing a sunburnt noon
In the world outside
Words don’t come easy
So it pays the rent
Did you get around to tell your mum and dad
Just what you do
It’s not so bad
The coffee is free and the tip is high
And it sure feels good
To work with your hands
And in the world outside
The city’s facing a sunburnt noon
In the world outside
Words don’t come easy
So how’s your band doing?
Any gig worthy of note?
Will you strike the right chord in me?
In the world outside
The city’s facing a sunburnt noon
In the world outside
Words don’t come easy
Oh Yeah (Angelskår)
Let’s go out tonight
Let’s not think about why
Let’s not talk about money spent
Let’s just spend it
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Let’s make most of the day
Come on kick the clouds away
Let’s put tomorrow down the hard way
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Angeline (Angelskår)
There’s a name on the wall
But you can’t make it out
There’s a noise in the hall
But there’s no one about
So you sneak out of bed
Hoping you’ll catch Angeline
Your face is growing dark
As you fold out your heart
Angeline
There’s a crack in the window
There’s snow on the floor
There’s a wind out there howling
But you want to make sure
As you light up a candle
She knocks on your door, Angeline
Your face is growing pale
As you spell out her name
Angeline
Angeline you’ve got nothing to fear
It’s only me, you’re in for a treat
Angeline I wish you’d see the other me
The one you’re about to release
You’ve heard all about her
But you haven’t seen her face
When she enters your room
You’re no longer afraid
Cause you know that if you’ll die
You’ll die with a smile, Angeline
You just stare for a while
When closing your eyes, you believe
Angeline you’ve got nothing to fear
It’s only me, you’re in for a treat
Angeline I wish you’d see the other me
The one you’re about to release
Her hair is untidy
But her eyes they look mild
She has a robe hanging around her
It was made for a child
As she unfolds her gown
You see her shoulders they’re burnt from the sun
So you stretch out your hand
Just to see if you can
And then she is gone
Angeline you’ve got nothing to fear
It’s only me, you’re in for a treat
Angeline I wish you’d see the other me
The one you’re about to release
Then You Said Something (Angelskår)
Then you said something of importance
And it had impact on my life
It was something beautiful
It was something thorough
And now I just don’t understand
Why I don’t remember
Why can’t I recall
You’re like an ambush
You’re kicking in…
When I’m not in control
It’s kinda like spitting
Without looking
Your almost sure to miss someone
And I, I don’t remember
Why can’t I recall
Then I came to understand
That when I’m with you
I’m a better man
Learning The Game (Buddy Holly)
Hearts that are broken
And love that’s untrue
These go with learning the game
When you love her
And she doesn’t love you
You’re only learning the game
When she says that you’re the only one she’ll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she’s thinking of
Feeling so sad cause you’re all alone and blue
That’s when you’re learning the game
When she says that you’re the only one she’ll ever love
then you find that you are not the one she’s thinking of
feeling so sad cause you’re all alone and blue
that’s when you’re learning the game
that’s when you’re learning the game
