Album: Good Luck

Vasara bez internetiem
(Lyrics: Jānis Šipkēvics)

Šalc jūra koku galotnēs
Un patīk man
Patīk man
Kā man neviena nepamanītam
Sanāk tev no lūpām lasīt pamazām
Un izliktiem, ka mēs viens otru pazīstam

Lai par vasaru top šīs dažas dienas
Smejies tu
Un smaidīgs pulkstenis pie sienas

Šo vēl par mīlestību nesauksim,
Bet siltiem sakariem
Bez aplinkiem
Bez tīkla parametriem
Un bez internetiem

Negaidīti tuvu vakar tu tiki man
Pats es ciemojos tai pusē reti gan
Titulus un tukšas frāzes atmetam
Svaiga gaisa malks jūs esat man, Madam

Lai par vasaru top šīs dažas dienas,
Kad smejies tu
Smaida pat pokersejas uz ielas

Šo vēl par mīlestību nesauksim,
Bet siltiem sakariem
Bez aplinkiem
Bez tīkla parametriem
Un bez internetiem

Lai par vasaru top šīs dažas dienas,
Kad smejies Tu,
Smaida pat pokersejas uz ielas

Šo vēl par mīlestību nesauksim,
Bet siltiem sakariem
Bez aplinkiem
Bez tīkla parametriem
Un bez internetiem

Boys Do Cry

You turned to me
I took a dive into those puppy eyes
Like falling down a rabbit hole
I found angel babies dancing around

They raised their hands up
And waved to the sky
Then they started to fly
Put their little arrows
In their tiny bows
Shot me right into the eye

I was wrong and you were right
The candy is bitter
And boys do cry

You sat next to me
We took a drive through the city at night
Like stepping through the looking glass
I found angel babies dancing around

They raised their hands up
And waved to the sky
Then they started to fly
Put their little arrows
In their tiny bows
Shot me right into the eye

I was wrong and you were right
I was wrong and you were right
All along and you were right
I was wrong and you were right
I was wrong and you were right
I was wrong and you were right
All along and you were right
I was wrong and you were right
The candy is bitter
And boys do, boys do, boys do cry

Pumpkin Pie

A knock at the door
No need to bother, there will be others
Don’t answer that call
No need to bother, there will be others
Lay by my side, forget your troubles
Stay a little while longer

Let’s go now out of town to the ocean a
And watch those people cry
Looking at how the careless sun
Leaves them behind
Or we can stay in bed all day
And eat your pumpkin pie
As long as we’re together it tastes good
Well… It's all right

Morning light hits the wall
No need to bother, I know you’ve gotta go
But lay by my side, forget your troubles

Even if the world is not round
Stay a while longer
Even if the time runs out
Stay a while longer

Let’s go now out of town to the ocean
And watch those people cry
Looking at how the careless sun
Leaves them behind
Or we can stay in bed all day
And eat your pumpkin pie
As long as we’re together it tastes good
Well… It's all right

Let’s go now out of town to the ocean
And watch those people cry
Looking at how the careless sun
Leaves them behind
Or we can stay in bed all day
And eat your pumpkin pie
As long as we’re together it tastes good
Well… It's all right

Desktop

I've got lake on my desktop
I've got mountains by the lake on my desktop
I've got clouds over mountains by the lake on my desktop
I've got the sun behind the clouds over mountains by the lake on my desktop

Everything, I've got everything
Everything on my desktop, but you

I've got my photos on my desktop
I've got my movies by my photos on my desktop
I've got my music and my movies by my photos on my desktop
I've got my music and my movies and my photos in the trash on my desktop

What is that inside of you that makes me so obsessive?

Send me your picture, send me your picture
Send me your picture, send me your picture
Send me your picture, send me your picture
Send me your picture, send me your picture

I'm dancing
Send me your picture
Send me your picture
Don't make me wait forever

Everything, I've got everything
Everything on my desktop
Everything, I've got everything
Everything on my desktop, but you

Friends

Sometimes you can’t see
What’s been in front of your eyes all the time
I’ve been looking too far
Through binoculars in my head
Oh, I wish we had ended up together
Made kids and walked dogs forever
But you made up your mind
To escape the riptide that brought us together
You said we could still be friends
But we’ll never be like

Chandler, Joe, Phoebe and Monica
Chandler, Joe, Phoebe and Monica

Now I feel like I’m hypnotised
Cos every time I close my eyes
I see the smile I adore
But it's not funny anymore
You broke my wings and now I hear voices that sing
Good luck next time
And every little thing around me
Makes me wanna moonwalk back to the place
Where you said we could still be friends
But we’ll never be like

Chandler, Joe, Phoebe and Monica
Chandler, Joe, Phoebe and Monica

Phantom Planet

This is my phantom planet, I own it
This is my hard drive, my wires
I’m in control of everything here
I am the main engineer
This is my phantom planet (oh, oh, oh)

I’m alright, but something is there
On my apartment floor
I cannot see it, I feel it
I’m afraid to move
It’s everywhere, it’s there
On my apartment floor
I cannot see it, I feel it

I feel there’s a shadow in my heart
Dancing in the dark
Shadow in my heart
Dancing in the dark
I feel there’s something inside
It creeps, it tricks, it scares
There’s something inside
It dings and dongs and blares

This is my phantom planet
I’m the king of it
This is my heart and fire
Under my wing
I feed on the fear
On my own reflection in your tears
This is my phantom planet (oh, oh, oh)

I’m alright, but something is there
On my apartment floor
I cannot see it, I feel it
I’m afraid to move
It’s everywhere, it’s there
On my apartment floor
I cannot see it, I feel it

I feel there’s a shadow in my heart
Dancing in the dark
Shadow in my heart
Dancing in the dark
I feel there’s something inside
It creeps, it tricks, it scares (dancing)
There’s something inside
It dings and dongs and blares (dancing)

Baby

I, I really want to, I really want to know
What does it feel like, does it feel like?

Does it feel like a blissful glow?
Does it get you high when you’re feeling low?

You, can you tell, can you tell me why?
There, there are songs that make you cry

Make you cry like a baby
Make you cry like a baby
I’ve come a long, long way, but I’m still far from the station
Where butterflies occupy my tummy

Tell, tell me now, tell me now, go on
Does anybody know someone who knows?
Does it feel like a blissful glow?
Does it get you high when you’re feeling low?

Does it make you cry like a baby?
Make you cry like a baby
I’ve come a long long way, but I’m still far from the station
Where butterflies occupy my tummy

Does it make you cry like a baby?
Make you cry like a baby
I’ve come a long long way, but I’m still far from the station
Where butterflies occupy my tummy

Coral Castle

When you have tried your best to keep her
And it’s all for nothing
Sadness takes over like a fever
The cure is to leave
A hundred years of solitude awaits you
An isolation from the world
Oh, Edward, your heart has turned to stone

You drifted so far away from home
All across the globe
You carried the burden inside you
The size of a castle
Your sweet sixteen will live and die
But in a different life, everything will go your way
Oh, Edward, your love has turned to stone

You’ve gotta carve a tunnel
You've gotta find a way
You've gotta carve your heart out every day

Side By Side

In this town, we got nothing left to do
So we break things, then stick them back together
When nothing seems to mean anything anymore
You play the clown out of the blue and it’s all good

Like airplanes in the sky days fly away
Landing in the past where memories lay side by side
Spinning too fast, but we’re gonna stay side by side

If I lose my sight, don’t stop me at the red light
And don’t worry I’ll be having a good time
I’ll Stick out my tongue and feel the air
I’ll take a wild guess if I’m a dummy in this crash test

Like airplanes in the sky days fly away
Landing in the past where memories lay side by side
Like airplanes in the sky days fly away
Spinning too fast, but we’re gonna stay side by side

Basās Kājas

tavas basās kājas kāpās
mitri mati lūpas sāļās
viļņos attēls liecas
domas vienmēr pieķer pirmās

tālo zilo horizontu
acīm tavām pieskaņotu
domas vienmēr paceļ augstāk
mana plauksta tavā plaukstā

aizskatoties viegli pazust var
bet kāds mani vienmēr atved atpakaļ

tavas basās kājas kāpās
mitri mati lūpas sāļās
arvien dziļāk grimstu sapnī
bojas sprāgst un salūzt masti

aizskatoties viegli pazust var
bet kāds mani vienmēr atved atpakaļ

Kilometriem Tālu

lietus, sniegs un sastrēgumu pulss
silti smiekli pasargās mūs
vēl kilometriem tālu
lielceļi un klejojumu dienas
rītos silda saule
bet naktīs sarunas

vēl kilometriem tālu tu

zeme griežas
un es tveros tai klāt
ikreiz kad atveru acis
zeme griežas
un es tveros tai klāt
rindā stājas dienas
bet kopā neturas

vienmēr un vienmēr tie paši
pagriezieni slīd
atkal aizved
citur
mani tur
vēl kilometriem tālu
īsto kadru meklējumi
izgaismoti filmā
bet dzīvo atmiņā

vēl kilometriem tālu tu

zeme griežas un es tveros tai klāt
ikreiz kad atveru acis
zeme griežas
un es tveros tai klāt
rindā stājas dienas
bet kopā neturas

Ūdensmērītāji

vienvirziena ielā
straumēm ļaudis klīst
izkārtnēs un vados
aizsēdējies rīts

skaļāk gaismas spīd
mirdz skatlogos
viss apstarots

ūdens lāses trīc
izkūp dūmos
atdzimst acu kaktiņos

pagalmos ir miers
ēnās klusums mīt
un tumsā tik daudz var saskatīt

cilvēki kā ūdensmērītāji laižas
trausliem soļiem ielām pāri laižas
skatlogos un ūdens virsmā
atspīdumi laistās
tikai tumsā redzama ir gaisma

upes strauji plūst
krāces mutuļo
mūsu celtos krastus izskalo

sabrūk fasādes
pazūdot gaismām
no pagalmiem izlaužas
kā lavīnas

visu projām aiznes

cilvēki kā ūdensmērītāji laižas
ielām pāri laižas
skatlogos un ūdens virsmā
atspīdumi laistās
cilvēki kā ūdensmērītāji laižas

Saules Bulvāri

par jumtiem un mākoņiem
vēl augstāk kāpt
līdz galva reibst un apstāties
vairs nesanāks

starp debesskrāpju virsotņiem
skursteņu dārzs
un tikai augstu debesīs
uz leju redzēt sāc

saules apspīdētie
bulvāri un skvēri
no augšas citādi
ir visu visumu mērīt
bulvāros birst asaras kā pērles
augšā citādi krīt
jūrā pilns mēness

tur nekas nekad nenotiek
tur notiek tas pats,
bet vieglāk ir un apstāties
vairs nesanāk

saules apspīdētie
bulvāri un skvēri
no augšas citādi
ir visu visumu mērīt
bulvāros birst asaras kā pērles
augšā citādi krīt
jūrā pilns mēness zem mēles

Stūre (lyrics by imants ziedonis)

puikas
šis brauciens būs tāls un traks
stūre trīc rokās manās
šis brauciens būs tāls un smags
tā būs izlaušanās
tā būs izraušanās
no tā kas man ir
tajā ko gribu es dabūt
kāda pieticības siena mūs šķir
no pasaules tās kurā man jābūt
kur minūtei stundu vērtība ir
kur nedzīvo mūžu lāpot
kur mirklis kā vējš
un kā krusas grauds
sit sejā
sit mīlot
sit sāpot

tā būs izlaušanās
stūre trīc rokās manās
tā būs izraušanās

asfalts un asfalts un asfalts kluss
lielceļi lēniem lokiem
nē puikas stūri vajag just
pagriezienos starp kokiem
kalns lejā irdenas smiltis spīd
ātrums daudzi šeit kritīs
savaldīt savaldīt savaldīt
stūri man neizsitīs

tā būs izlaušanās
stūre trīc rokās manās
tā būs izraušanās
tā būs izraušanās

Magnolijas Rīts

kad ielas ir tukšas
un radio klusi sīc
nakts kaut kur pazudusi
bet vēl nav atrasts nākamais rīts

es atveru acis
kā nomodā bet ne pa īstam
vēl redzu tevi sapnī
un vietas kur kopā klīstam

acis veras klusumā
viss priekšnojautā tīts
caur mani pamodīsies
magnolijas rīts

kad neona gaismās
pilsētas laukumi dus
kad sapņi kā migla virs ielām
un luksoforos oranžais kluss
manā atmiņā ik mirklis par
bezgalību kļūst

acis veras klusumā
viss priekšnojautā tīts
caur mani pamodīsies
magnolijas rīts

acis veras klusumā
viss priekšnojautā tīts
tik daudz reižu nosapņots
un tomēr negaidīts

nolīs varžu lietus
un sētas stabi dīgs
caur mani pamodīsies
magnolijas rīts

Connection Lost

you power out
out of reach
lost connection 
between you and me
you power out 
now I see
lost affection
nothing left for me

searching in your face
for something I could believe in
where’s the toothpaste lines I drew
while you were asleep

voice so distant
your message is unclear
I don’t feel the tears
I’m water resistant 

you have turned into a note
outside my harmony
you have turned into a note
bent outside my mind
no one talks on silent phones
but the picture is clear
cos you never tell me
you just disappear

Hunting for The Sun

through the streets we run
with bruised knees
the kids come home
before it’s dark

with fake bullets and plastic guns
and that’s how we begun

hunting for the sun
hunting for the sun
hunting

off the beat we run
hunting for the sun

through the dark we run
with flashlights
temptation drives us
to search for delusion

where pillows are soft
and we live in a game, 
although we change
we still stay the same
only toy guns are aimed
and the kids are safe

off the beat we run- running till it’s gone
hunting for the sun

Seagulls on Bicycles

strange people
live in my neighbors’ yard
although it’s raining
the linen is hung out to dry
strange people
drinking in shallow shores
their hearts are sober
but the sharks are getting closer closer

to get through the day
with no seagulls on bicycles
leading the way
seagulls on bicycles

strange people
live in my neighbors’ yard
second hand lovers
making clocks for a second of love
strange feelings
climbing inside everyone’s minds
then I wonder
why do I laugh when I cry

to get through the day
with no seagulls on bicycles
leading the way
seagulls on bicycles 

to get through the day
with no seagulls on bicycles
leading the way
seagulls on bicycles

1Q7/4

slowly fading away
slowly fading away

slowly fading away
I won’t escape
I’m not the one to choose
slowly fading away
I won’t escape
I’m not the one to choose
I can’t hear myself
I can’t hear myself

It’s little people that I hear
little people that I hear

an angry beat of drums
hits my lungs
it speaks in tongues
an angry beat of drums
hits my lungs
it speaks in tongues
like a lullaby of guns
lullaby of guns

it’s little people that I hear
little people that I hear

Fooling Myself

footsteps echo
in my memory
reminding me
of my wild fantasies
someone inside me
has a map of my dreams
spontaneously
it leads my feet

up up up up up up up
I take a look around
up up up up up up up
the top is what I found

walking on clouds
that don’t exist
like cotton candy roads
I can’t resist

up up up up up up up
walking on clouds
up up up up up up up
on cotton candy roads

I’m foolin' myself myself
on the edge til the end
fooling myself
foolin’ and telling lies to the creator
foolin’ myself, who else

“ILOVEYOU’S”

space I stare into into into
space I stare into into into

I’m out of “I love you’s”
what else can I do
I’m out of “I love you’s”
space I stare into

birds knocking on my temples
silence ticking in my head
silence killing everything we said

windows are open
storms leaving my brain
turning
into light again

falling apart
or getting together
whatever whatever
whatever whatever

I’m out of “I love you’s”
what else can I do
I’m out of “I love you’s”
space I stare into

space I stare into into into
space I stare into into into

I’m out of “I love you’s”
what else can I do
I’m out of “I love you’s”
space I stare into

Surf

you sneeze
dandelion fluff flies through the air
and gets caught up in your hair
we sleep sleep
by a fountain on a mountain
baby please
let’s laugh until we’re dead

we swim
and the water is warm
take it in
we can skip the part
when it’s dark
cos we will never die

we drink
wine from flowers
pour it in
you get super powers
this night is ours
countless hours
of good good good good times

you sneeze
dandelion fluff flies through the air
and gets caught up in your hair
we sleep
by a fountain on a mountain
baby please
let’s laugh until we’re dead

you sneeze
dandelion fluff flies through the air
and gets caught up in your hair
we sleep
by a fountain on a mountain
baby please
let’s laugh until we’re dead

Flowers

Head in the sand till next wave
Head in the sand till the next wave
next wave changes my mind
next wave changes my mind
see me how you want me
but I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don't
burn all my letters, that you never read
burn all my letters, things I never said
chimney smokes my life
chimney smokes my life
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don't

lalalalala
lalalalala
lalalalala
lalalala

stones in my pockets pulling me down
stones in my pockets hitting the ground
then I throw back around
throw them all around

but I don’t mind
whatever the future holds in its hands for us
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind

lalalalala
lalalalala
lalalalala
lalalala

Underneath the Water

underneath the water
my eyes are dim
but I see from within
underneath the water
with no feeling
now I’m the pale blue dot

underneath the water
I’m the pale blue dot
lost in the ocean
in a single water drop

hurricanes and wind
are only whispering
underneath the water
there’s always a land
with tons of shifting sand

underneath the water
I’m the pale blue dot
lost in the ocean
in a single water drop

Youth Is Gold

an endless alley of oaks
so green and wise
there’s a falcon on the road
singing in the sunrise
an endless alley of oaks
standing deep
guarding all our dreams
even when we sleep

when I picture myself old
I hope you'll be there
we know - youth is gold
even if I see silver in your hair

cosy slippers on a porch
watching the world go by
we turn time on a clock
dislike the beat of our lives
golden flames
will be burning every sorrow
even if it rains tomorrow

an endless alley of oaks
so green and wise
there’s a falcon on the road
singing in the sunrise

when I picture myself old
I hope you'll be there
we know - youth is gold
even if I see silver in your hair

when I picture myself old
I hope you'll be there
we know - youth is gold
even if I see silver in your hair

Never Have Enough

Eyes wide open
Try to find my memories
Birds tweet, river flows
Best friends are my family
So generous and fearless
They gave us happiness
You are the fire
That scares away my bitterness

I’ll never have enough of this

Sunlight in your eyes
Don’t end, we all are your friends
And let your self a smile
Don’t end we all are your friends

There are no confusion
As they say in life should be
I’ve learned certainty
That you have taught me
There’s nothing between us
A bit of joy and memories
I’m proud of being here
Nowhere else, but my family

I’ll never have enough of this

Sunlight in your eyes
Don’t end, we all are your friends
And let your self a smile
Don’t end we all are your friends

I’ll never have enough of this

Octopus

Your eyes, my heart
Octopus from the stars
We walk round and round
Opposite and upside down
I’ve always really liked you, liked you
Otherwise, I would have been a fool
Sometimes seems like it’s all for nothing
But I wouldn’t change it for another

Your eyes, my heart
Octopus from the stars
We laugh, never stop
Like a waterfall, like a ticking clock.
I’ve always really liked you, liked you
Otherwise, I would have been a fool
Sometimes seems like it’s all for nothing
But I wouldn’t change it for another

I guess I was right
Walking around those nights
I guess I was right
Right about you
About you

Take off your shoes
Dance with me, let it loose
We dance round and round
Opposite and upside down
I’ve always really liked you, liked you
Otherwise, I would have been a fool
Sometimes seems like it’s all for nothing
But I wouldn’t change it for another

I guess I was right
Walking around those nights
I guess I was right
Spending all my time
I guess I was right
Living through all those fights
I guess I was right
Right about you

I guess I was right
Right about you

Moonboy

The moonboy sat down
And looked at us
For five thousand days
He prayed for us
He felt no time
He felt no wind
He used to smile
But now he just grins

Early in the morning
He fell asleep
He dreamt about ocean
He could swim very deep
He wanted to know
How would it be
To have a friend
Whom together he could climb a tree

He was a lord
Of the whole moon
He had a golden crown
And a silver spoon
He played the piano
He had made from dust
But all he wanted
Was a friend he could trust
Was a friend he could trust

The Moonboy found you
His dream came true

Tree by Tree

Tree by tree
Passing by me
Blue sky above
Dark sand below me
Sun is shining through
The leaves of a tree
I want you to see
What I see.

Tree by tree
Passing by me
I really hope
You’ll come with me
And if you insist
I could be
Another sailor
Another sea

Cars and trains, passing planes
Driving me insane
Cars and trains, passing planes
Driving me insane
Tree by tree
Passing by me
Blue sky above
Dark sand below me
Sun is shining through
The leaves of a tree
I want you to see
What I see.

Brown Eyes and All the Rest

What if I push myself
What if I try to do it all by myself
You and I could see for ourselves
With our brown eyes and all the rest

My heart’s too old
To survive this storm
And yours’ too bold
To give a rest
So I’ll just try to do my best
And let the time do the rest

Let the storm
Salt the sea
Oh perform a wicked heresy
To our hearts and to our minds
I’ll be there
But you’ll stay cold

I would never dare
To look at you
Fore the feared
You would see me through
Because love and care is that
Made my heart
Because love and care is that
Tore it apart

My heart’s too old
To survive this storm
And yours’ too bold
To give a rest
So I’ll just try to do my best
And let the time do the rest

Let the storm
Salt the sea
Oh perform a wicked heresy
To our hearts and to our minds
I’ll be there
But you’ll stay cold

Let the storm
Salt the sea
Oh perform a wicked heresy
To our hearts and to our minds
I’ll be there
But you’ll stay

Let the storm
Take us home

Let the storm
Salt the sea
Oh perform a heresy
To our hearts and to our minds
Your brown eyes and all the rest

Traffic Lights

People are like lamps
Warm and bright
Without selfishness
They give us light
I saw a place
You wouldn’t believe
It was so bright
I could not leave

Standing in front of your traffic lights
In pictures of you, I’m still inside
How can we end up where we started
Where easy friends go when friendship dies.
People like gold mines
Dark and deep
Giving you chances
You can’t keep
I saw a place
You wouldn’t believe
It was so dark
I could not feel
Standing in front of your traffic lights
In pictures of you, I’m still inside
How can we end up where we started
Where easy friends go when friendship dies.

Standing in front of your traffic lights
In pictures of you, I’m still inside
How can we end up where we started
End up where we started
End up where we started...

Words Like Birds

So many things said
said to be true
growing out of the frames
it's the same for you
it's the same for me too
I keep on trying
searching for birds
flying out of my cage
it's the same for you
it's the same for me too

Words like birds
(And it feels like)

my utterance
can’t fly so high
and get into its nest
it’s the same for you
it’s the same for me too

I keep on trying
searching for birds
flying out of my cage
It’s the same for you
it’s the same for me too
it’s the same for you
it’s the same for me too
(And it feels like)
……
Words like birds
it’s the same for you
Words like birds
it’s the same for you
Words like birds
(And it feels like)
Words like birds
(And it feels like)

Seasons

Sailing rivers of wine
I’ve been stuck in here for years
So fast around the ocean, so quick through the times
But I still haven’t found the end.

Going back and forth forever
And that’s how life goes by
In hurry and stress and rushing around
Did someone tell me why
In hurry and stress and rushing around
Did someone tell me why.
Seasons change, seasons change
But I’m still here
Seasons change, seasons change
But I’m still here
Seasons change, seasons change
But I’m still here
Seasons change, seasons change
But I’m still

But I’m still here
But I’m still here

See the World

Open up your eyes and see
The world behind TV
The colour of the sea
Is not the colour of TV

The colour of the sea
Is not the colour of TV

Sometimes

Sometimes in the morning
It’s so hard to choose
Between drinking coffee
Or tying my shoes
Sometimes in life
You have to choose
Between waking up
Or hitting the snooze
Or hitting the snooze

My mama says
That life is full of choices
And no matter what you do
There’s nothing you can lose

But somehow
I always know what to do
Or what to choose
‘couse there’s nothing to lose
But somehow I always know what to do

We know what to do
We know what to do
We know what to do
We know what to do
