lyrics

ADDIE PRAY

when i come back from a faraway country
how can i tell you what i have experienced

if you ever come back from such faraway countries
you dont have to tell me about it

but i would like to describe you this paticular moment
and how it felt to be in it

it would be great to imagine this paticular moment
and to think of you being in it

when i like to tell somebody the things i remember
is it because of the things or because of him or her

in a perfect world it will be because of the things
and also because of him or her

and in a perfect world we would treat each other
as if we where some kind of boon
and we could smoke as cool as addie pray
in her bed in paper moon
and maybe you would look at me
as if you know me by heart
and it wouldnt scare the shit out of you
at least not from the start

yesterday i saw you on your bike

yes maybe that was me

i waved all the time but you just moved on

yes sometimes you're so hard to see

but in a perfect world we would shine like diamonds
seen through the eyes of a thief
and every stolen moment
would bring nothing but relief
and maybe you would look at me
as if you know me by heart
and it wouldnt scare the shit out of you
at least not from the start

when i come back from a big disappointment
tell me what should i do or say

you could make it a movie and end each act
with a car driving away

Sorry Gilberto Berlin, Germany

Sorry Gilberto are Anne von Keller and Jakob Dobers. They write lyric-driven songs that are melancholic, witty and playful in the same time. With surprising twists in structure and sparse instrumentation they combine simple folk- and glamorous pop-elements and create a very unique atmosphere. ... more
