The Hum Of Zug Island

Take me to the city where it never shuts its mouth
Where the everlasting sound
Pierces everybody’s ears and makes a fuss over the town
Take me there, take me there, take me there, take me there
Take me to the city where nobody ever sleeps
Where headphones are obsolete
And we’re always interrupted even when we’re not discreet
Take me there, take me there, take me there, take me there
I wanna lie with you I will not lie to you
Cause if I tried to do that then you would have to
Listen to me closer my voice won’t go over
The most gorgeous sound in the world
The hum of Zug Island
Take me to the mass of land void of serenity
Where the people like to meet
But they have to talk real loud just to combat the frequency
Take me there, take me there, take me there, take me there
Take me to the loudest place that’s marked up on the map
Where nobody ever naps
It keeps everyone awake and simply wanting to collapse
Take me there, take me there, take me there, take me there
I wanna be with you I will not be untrue
And if I breed with you and give my seed to you
All of our new children will just have to listen
To the most gorgeous sound in the world
The hum of Zug Island
Hum for me now, just hum for me now
I’ll lay, lay you down in this sonic town
I hear it real loud, I hear it real loud
I feel the vibrations trickling out my mouth
I’ll transfer them out, transfer all them out
Give them to you now, embrace all the sound
We came here and found, and now we’re allowed
Just hum for me now, hum hum for me now
I wanna lie with you I will not lie to you
Cause if I tried to do that then you would have to
Listen to me closer my voice won’t go over
The most gorgeous sound in the world
The hum of Zug Island

Well some may say that this life is crazy
Well I am going insane sitting here waiting
For something good or to notice something’s changing
But nothing ever happens and I’m stuck here dissipating
I want to know this is not all that my life has to offer
I want to know that someday I could be with another
And some may say that I’m just too angry
But when you’ve lived through the things I’ve lived you know I’m not just faking
And no advantage is for the taking
But I would gladly take advantage of some great things
I want to know this is not all that my life has to offer
I want to know that someday I could be with another
I want to know that I won’t be alone for the rest of my life
I want to know this is all just a passing phase in my mind
I don’t cry when you want me to
And I don’t sleep when I’m spoken to

Amelie

Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie
Amelie works at the local stop
You should hear the things she says and you should hear her thoughts
The slacker kids with slashed up wrists come in to buy their cigarettes
But they're not even noticed by my darling, Amelie
Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie
Amelie reads from the book of Job
Thinks that through all her unluckiness she will find hope
A testament to test her wit and patience through the thick of it
The Bible's got its Mary but it's void of Amelie
Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie
Amelie sits on her old front porch
With her AM radio set on the news reports
It's very grim just listening to numbers and statistics in
The very time that she's alive and I will cry when she has died
But right now I just know her by "my darling, Amelie"
Amelie, Amelie, tell me who you want to be
I would sail the seven seas to find the girl of which you speak
Amelie, Amelie, will she be the one for me?
Oh tell me darling, tell me, Amelie, Amelie, Amelie

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
And Happy Thanksgiving too
Aren’t you glad to have your family here
All in one place in front of you?
But sometimes we do despise
This very precious kind of time
‘Cause we cannot get over our own lives
So why do we fight on the holidays?
This is the time where we should celebrate
Put all your qualms aside
And be thankful for once this time
‘Cause why should we fight on the holidays?
There’s miles of food to go around
And the cold doesn’t seem as harsh this fall
There’s so much that we can talk about
We may not even remember it all
But that’s okay but when you say
That you don’t want to do today
And suddenly things do not seem okay
But why do we fight on the holidays?
This is the time where we should celebrate
Put all your qualms aside
And be thankful for once this time
‘Cause why should we fight on the holidays?
There’s lots of bad to focus on
And people that have been done wrong
But just erase that from your mind
And think about what’s good in life
Just try to stay positive
Embrace the world in which you live
When everything’s completely fucked
Open your mind keep your mouth shut
But why do we fight on the holidays?
This is the time where we should celebrate
Put all your qualms aside
And be thankful for once this time
‘Cause why should we fight on the holidays?
