WORDS

Submarina

(comp. Kettunen/Honkanen)

If

(comp. Honkanen, lyr. Honkanen/Pietarinen)

if by chance far away from this place
you and me were to fall in the sea
we might get to join
Jacques Cousteau’s fearless men, we could watch
Jacques Cousteau’s submarines as they go
deep underwater

if you want, if you want out of here
if you want, if you want out of here
just jump on Calypso
if you want, if you want out of here
if you want, if you want out of here
you got to use the door

if you want, if you want, see the stars
if you want, if you want, bite the moon
just go & go
take a train, take a train to Vantaa
take a train, take a train, T or K
and go to C
the stars are, the stars are, out there for
the stars are, the stars are, out there for
and I know

Step Away

(comp. and lyr. Honkanen)

soon your toes are numb, begging for the jump
maybe a step away from the freedom, you were searching for
the shine can make it a lot easier
a vague reflection of your own, ready even to drown

why stop here, why stop here, as if you cared?
did you come this far just to quit?

why tease with the tempting thought?
being this close to the truth, or are you still scared?
I told you what the others didn’t tell
who dares, wins; keep in mind, and tomorrow’s all but fine

The Fool

(comp. Honkanen, lyr. Pietarinen)

in a misty morning
out where children should never play
a jester ran towards us and cried
in the most frivolous way

‘it’s about to begin
they will surely give in!’

‘it’s about to begin,
it’s time for us to win!’

and the flames always light
more then they warm
and burn you they might
if you get too close

‘it’s about to begin,
it’s time for us to win!’
and the fools will laugh,
laugh at themselves

Where in the Outside In

(comp. Kettunen, lyr. Kettunen/Pietarinen)

the images we share tonight
identical to you and me
turn the page, oh, the next one is blue
but why do all these frames vibrate?

don’t build a shelter
where our spaces just met

is that not my construction site
right where our spaces tried to meet?

turn the page, yes, the next one is blue
and in these hands it sure will vibrate

Haven

(comp. Honkanen, lyr. Pietarinen)

out of touch, out of time
out of words and out of rhyme
out cold
not like a boxer, more like snow
not out of mind, merely out in the rain

off guard, off the mark
off my feet, feet off the ground
offside, the flag says
keep off!
now the cannons have gone off
and I am off to save the world

I need you
to be my haven

over with the overture
over with what’s left over
so let us just go over the board
over the falls and over it all
over to you

Rhubarbed Wire

(comp. Kettunen, lyr. Pietarinen)

to still for good their wicked choir
I’ll gently pound my gilded lyre
pound that lyre!

to hide our hearts from ill desire
I’ll wrap us all in rhubarbed wire
wire!

to SOS from ill desire
let’s wrap ourselves
let’s wrap ourselves in rhubarbed wire

Strangers

(comp. Kettunen, lyr. Kettunen/Pietarinen)

tie your laces,
can’t you see you’re a big boy now?
so, stop making those faces
and, please, take a bow

don’t talk to strangers
sweet girl, don’t even look
in fact, don’t stare at anyone
keep your eyes on that book

pull down the shades,
you shy boy you
brave girl, dim the lights a bit, too
abandon advice, lose disguise
close your eyes

untie my laces,
I can see you’re a big boy, wow
don’t tickle my places
just take a bow
