"A Brief History Of Love" (2009)

Crystal Vision Lyrics – The Big Pink

She held lightening in her hand
It's been cornered by the man
I pretend no answering riot
As we hid it on the hill we ran
Fuel the mission
With our passion
Fighting still we ran

Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride

Made of crystals in the sand
If you want a taste you can
In the city where the people are alone
She held lightening in her hand
It's been cornered by the man
I pretend no answering riot
As we hid it on the hill we ran
Fuel the mission
With our passion
Fighting still we ran

Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride

Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride

Too Young To Love Lyrics – The Big Pink

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again
All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
Innocence, too young to love
Alone

Once, now and then and never again [x4]
Break

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again

All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
Innocence, too young to love
Alone

Alone alone alone
And you're too young to love
And you're too young to love

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again

All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
In a sense too young to love
Alone

Dominos Lyrics – The Big Pink

These girls fall like dominos, dominos [repeat]

As soon as I love her it's been too long
Talks of future with you caves me in
Swallow my sugar kiss and eat it alone
Hearts collide, smash any dreams of love.

These girls fall like dominos, dominos [repeat]

Three words we shared said too early on
Start with forever to the point of tears
Swimming with a fear where we slowly drown
Ending at never arching melody

As soon as I love her it's been too long
And I really love breaking your heart
These silver apples will shine on, I was wrong
The hottest love has the coldest end.

These girls fall like dominos, dominos

[repeat to end]

Love In Vain Lyrics – The Big Pink

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again

And you won't mind when
I suggest you go
Then you said to keep calm
And we won't tell a soul
And you really must do this
So we'll never be alone
I won't treat you wrong
And at least in love
The hearts won't be apart for too long
So don't say it again

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go
I can see your love changing hands before too long
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again

I let go of your hand and you suggest I go
And with that I was gone
And after all that was said
Was it meaningless
When you danced with me
To "walkin' in the sand"?
And I'd like you to know
That my love is love that you can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go
I can see your love changing hands before too long
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go
I can see your love changing hands before too long

At War With The Sun Lyrics – The Big Pink

Up for too long
At war with the sun
A crown of stars that we all wish upon
And you whisper to me
Are we out of time
And if so then don't let go.
Show me where teardrops run
Ragged bloom we all let loose on
Hands disappear, pull you close
Shoot out lights for all our pleasures

[chorus]
Young hearts know nothing but say it all
Celebrate no control
But is it enough to realize your love
And miss us when we're gone.

Live for the words
That we've sung
And don't let go

No one hears 'cause no one cares
Until we fall over the edge
Surrender your thoughts
The odd ones out
And I said we'd meet tonight

Into the dark, and out of this world
Blow a kiss and burn it down
Together we'll live, turn to dust
Through the smoke and into the sun

[chorus]

To feel it
See it
On it
I'm on it

[chorus]

Velvet Lyrics – The Big Pink

Seen it in my head, burning my heart
Seen it in my past, back in my home
Doesn't make sense, see her again
I don't, know
I felt it for some time, ever not at all
Poison in my head, gun love hurts
I'm not looking for love, but it's hard to resist
I don't recall, me and mistakes

She's the only one, that's the best I've had
I found her in a dream, looking for me
This heart's on fire, I'll bring myself
Up to the force, down again

These arms are mine
Don't matter who they hold
So should I maybe, Just leave love alone
You call out my name, for the love you need
Which you won't find in me

These arms are mine
Don't matter who they hold
You're made for me, and I'll leave love alone
You call out my name for the love you need
Which you won't find in me

Seen it in my head, burning my heart
I found her in a dream, looking for me
Doesn't make sense, see her again
I don't, know

I can see the end, of what I've become
A tale of a love, come and gone
But now my love, no promises
I won't go, falling in love

Golden Pendulum Lyrics – The Big Pink

We all live
Somewhere near nowhere
On dusty roads there
All soft and free
You said I feel no pain
Where are you going
With number nothing
Unnaturally

It's the feeling that you can't be lost
It's another that you can't explain
It pulls on strings like falling in love
Instant love, instant love

Only you asked to go lower
And don't you just know it
Dead fingers falls

A star fades out of my heart
But you laughed and just rolled and rolled over
Everything slowly goes
You said you knew and that's what you wanted

If time gone is history
Then this is a victory
A victory worth losing for you
And all you need

It's the feeling that you can't be lost
It's another that you can't explain
It pulls on strings like falling in love
Instant love, instant love

You said I feel no pain
Where are you going
With the number three

A star fades out of my heart
But you laughed and just rolled and rolled over
Everything slowly goes
You said you knew and that's what you wanted

If time gone is history
Then this is a victory
A victory worth losing for you
To get what you need [x3]

Frisk Lyrics – The Big Pink

Oh-oh-oh

I'll burn the maps
And feel the people all lost inside you
Stamp your feet if you know where you're from.
Love's a rose in the snow
You turn around to the wind
Fill your pockets full of stones and walk upstream
It's not making sense
Freak out again
These tears are real
And lurk in shadows of paradise

[chorus]
If this is love
Then I might just leave it
Inhale, I'll give you what you want
If this is love
You forget to answer
The day of my birth
My death began its walk

Am I in love
Alone in a cruel world
But this time I know you're on your own

The machine watches over this unfortunate boy
A monument for forever
Versus me and you
Cupid's whore stole the arrows of time
A perfect mirror would do well
Reflecting further than you
Forget love
I wanna die asleep in your arms
Do you dream of me as much as I do of you?

[chorus]

Am I in love
Alone in a cruel world
But this time I know you're on your own

A Brief History Of Love Lyrics – The Big Pink

This time I'll leave you as the one that you love
The taste of your lips and the true meaning of love
Your beautiful smile all bent out of shape
Is this the road to heaven that you wanted to take?
Come on baby don't you want to feel love?
Have I left you too long waiting for the feeling to come?
Another kind of lover holds my baby today
Crush the tissue to break the fall
Let's get lost and feel warm tonight
Hit by another and feeling it's right

It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight

As you leave me
It's up to you to lend me your heart, but you won't let go
And as you leave me
You're in my heart I feel true love and it won't let go
It's up to you to mend my heart, please don't let go

I've seen the lights of this city go out at night
Instant living rarely works out right
You never turned down what you wanted to be
It's a kind of magic that you can't help but feel

I dreamt we were sleeping and we floated away
And we shone like a star and we blinded who stared
We listen to the heavens at the silence above
Never ask the devil to help the one that you love
You said to me baby that you want to feel love
Babe we gave it our all but it's never enough

It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight

As you leave me
It's up to you to lend me your heart, but you won't let it go
And as you leave me
You're in my heart I feel true love and it wont let go
It's up to you to mend my heart, please don't let go

It's over
It's over
It's over
Baby tonight

Tonight Lyrics – The Big Pink

Tonight
You take of part of my life

Only lovers are left alive
Only lovers are on my side
Wasted days and wasted nights
Cause my dreams to slowly die

Stand by me
Stand by my side
Change you love and make it mine
With your arms around me
I'm satisfied
Take me to your music
I'll come inside

Tonight
You take a part of my life

Take that trip
Forget the world
Find those girls all made of gold
I've done a lot of things I know are wrong
So please forgive me
Before I'm gone

Tonight
You take a part of my life

Countbackwards From Ten Lyrics – The Big Pink

I've seen it all and I said
She's calling out to us all
And I ache
She did not know it belonged to me
And we could fall into each others arms and severed clean
Oh where to lean
Now, it's something that I could've asked for
Apparently
We're not alone
And I don't know what I saw
And I hope that no one saw
Stand by my side

Better off dead [x3]

You seem a little low again
I'm ready to leave again
Seem a little
And eyes start to roll
I reveal [x2]
To see that little glow again
I'm ready to leave again
Seem a little low
And the wheels start to roll
I reveal [x2]
To see that little glow

I've seen all that's there
And I seen it all and I said
It's calling out to all and I ache
She did not know it belonged to me
And it was something that I couldn't ask for [x2]
Better off dead [x2]
Seem a little low again
I reveal
Seem a little glow again
To see that little glow again
Seem a little low
And the wheels start to roll
I reveal
I rebel
To see that little glow again
Seem a little low
And eyes start to glow
I reveal

Stop The World lyrics - the big pink

Obsessed
With the shades of a ghost face
They don't belong here
We set them free

Obsessed
With the feeling you held
I'll meet you down there
Send us to sleep

[chorus]
To dream alone
Stop the world
For as long as we want
To love, to hold
To stop the world
Forever we'll sing along

Loveless
I suggest you go there
To magnetic zero
The world as you want it

Loveless
I'm afraid to kiss again
We dream to remember
Send us to sleep

[chorus]

Stop the world
Stop the world

[chorus to fade]
