You don’t need to cry, honey
Just because you’re on your own
Just close your eyes, honey
And you will see there’s so much more
There’s so much more
Jupi
Jupi
No one’s beside you, honey
When you wake up in your bed
Nobody to claim something
When your arms fall over it and spread
Your arms fall over and spread
Jupi
Jupi
You lie awake at night
Tears rolling down your cheek
Value the silence
And that nobody snores
And always make sure
That you lock the door

Breathe
03:07

I was wondering
If you would hold me through the night
When I am shivering
I am scared to go to sleep
What if I wake up dead in the morning
I can’t breathe even though
I haven’t seen a human in days
I want your breath in my face
So warm and so humid
The smell of your coffee
With the sweet twist of the jam
That you had in the morning
I can’t breathe even though
I haven’t seen a human in days
I can’t breathe even though
I haven’t seen a human in days

Stranger

|
I knew nothing but the playground
You said you would never let me down
I loved swinging high
It made me feel like I could fly
I moved in another direction
I moved to another dimension
I know that I am a stranger
We grew older walking hand in hand
Someday we would outgrow our fairyland
When you smiled I smiled
Oh dear I was a child
I moved in another direction
I moved in another dimension
I know that I am a stranger

Swallow The Pain
03:52

She can swallow her pain
And do it the same all over again
She can find herself a man
Yes she proved it that she can
All she ever had to do
To make her wishes all come true
Is stand in the corner and wait
For a man to ask her on a date
I wish I had a smile like her
With a gap between my teeth
I could whisper through
She feeds on their petty thoughts
And she laughs at all their jokes
She always sees things eye to eye
And she lights up when they smoke
Like a spoon full of comb honey
A sweet explosion with a bitter twist
They stick to her when they come close
No way to leave nor to resist
I wish I had a smile like her
With a gap between my teeth
I could whistle through
I wish I had a smile like her
With a gap between my teeth
I could whisper through

Super Ego
03:43
|

|
You come into my room and you stand by my bed
I can feel you breathing right next to my head
It tickles when you whisper into my ears
But your words they sound deeply severe
Who let you in
Who let you in
Can’t you see that I’m still sleeping
You leave the room with an unpleasant sound
Then my tired eyes make me roll around
I can smell a trace of velvet in the air
And I know that you’re not mean no you really care
Who let you in
Who let you in
Can’t you see that I’m still dreaming
I sit down at the table you stare into my face
You keep coming closer I don’t have enough space
I can’t have you breathing down my neck all the time
This is not only your life no it’s also mine
Who let you in
Who let you in
Can’t you see that I’m still sleeping
Who let you in
Who let you in
Can’t you see that I’m still dreaming

Patti’s Words
04:20
|
|||
|
A Chelsea morning is hard to see
Through yellow curtains light shines on me
I took the blues down to the 23rd
To follow Patti’s soothing word
Then silence broke somebody screamed
They’re murdering my dreams!
In a David Lynch movie scene
The ones in room 425
A mess left from last night
I guess they kept free love alive
They’re still running after money
And they’re still hungry for more flesh
The limousines still cooling in the street
That heart is throbbing still but it’s skipping beats
The man who stood at the front door
Told me something about a tour
As if I wanted to see more
He told me, ‘Child come step inside’
I ain’t no child and need no guide
‘Hey, thanks sir’ I replied
I slid my dreams in
Between Patti’s words
A scribbled note to self
For what a song is worth
When the wind began to fly
I sighed a shy goodbye
And walked into the night
Then these words rang in my ears
‘We are still here,
After all these years’

Illusion
04:28
|

|
She was a woman with a vision
She was a girl with a troubled mind
She was my friend my partner in crime
She couldn’t leave the trouble behind
Where did I lose you
Was it all an illusion
We shared these dreams and shared these games
When it came to boys we craved the same
She laughed so loud and cried all day
Could be this or that it‘s hard to say
Where did I lose you
Was it all an illusion
Now she has belladonna eyes
She lost track of where the truth lies
She dances through the night disguised
Let’s meet again when the sun rise
Where did I lose you
Was it all an illusion
An illusion
An illusion

Pina Palau Zürich, Switzerland
We live in an enchanted world, unfortunately way too often we’re too busy to even notice. It takes a special type of artist to draw back the curtain and make us recognise this magic nestled in the mundane. Singer-songwriter Pina Palau possesses this rare gift. Her songs obsess over the everyday: coaxing the poetry out of situations and characters that seem all too familiar. ... more
