Watch another episode of Friends
I already know how this one ends
Rachel will be furious at Ross
But in the end they make their peace
Like you and I will not
And I don’t wanna go to sleep, not yet
First forget why you don’t wanna talk to me anymore
And all these pages that you read about sex
Mean much less
When there is no one left to read them for
Jerking off to anything that works
If I can’t be seen, I can’t be heard
Shredded cheese, Japanese cartoons
I’m a waste of flesh and blood
And the sun will be up soon
But I don’t wanna go to sleep, not yet
First forget why you don’t wanna talk to me anymore
And all these pages that you read about sex
Mean much less
When there is no one left to read them for

Rosie

Rosie is there, nobody cares but I do
I had a drink, and I’d like to think she did too
She’s better than me at both listening and speaking, that’s true
So Rosie and I have a cute enough time
As we talk about our high schools and I think
What am I nervous for?
Haven’t we met before?
Is it the alcohol?
Could it be something more?
Rosie is so laid-back
And I kind of like the fact
I don’t have to interact with anyone else
I hear her out, tell me about your week
Rosie is bright, that makes her quite unique
I’m happy as long as she’s moving her tongue so to speak
I’m clenching onto her while there’s fewer and fewer
People at the party and I think
How do I take her home?
What if she's not alone?
Who is she holding back?
Why did she check her phone?
Bet she looks down on me
For my inability
To handle some intimacy like everyone else
Just as I planned putting my hand on her knees
Rosie gets up, ditches her cup, then leaves
Staring into the space, I can picture her face with much ease
There’s a stain on the floor near my seat in the corner
And everything is moving, everything is moving to its end
Chances don’t wait in line
Think I just wasted mine
Didn’t she see that I
Needed a little more time?
But Rosie has seen enough
Rosie is so turned off
Rosie will fall in love with somebody else

Place in My Heart
03:11
|

|
I’ve got a place in my heart
I’ve got a place in my heart for you
Just for you
Nobody else is allowed there
I’ll build a very high wall
I’m building such a high wall for you
Just around you
‘cause nobody else is allowed there
And oh we are so much greater together
And oh we are so in love
I’ve stored your gifts in my heart
I feel the gifts that I got from you
Poking through
But no one is able to see them
I’ll drop my dreams in the dirt
I’ll drop my dreams in the dirt for you
Just for you
Most guys seem allright without them
And oh we are so much greater together
And oh we are so much made for each other
And oh we are so in love

Terrible Luck
02:56

Sometimes, sometimes you gotta hold back
Cut yourself just a little more slack
And if you’re eager to make things change
Better keep it within your range
It’s important to loosen the reins when you’re feeling like
All you need is a little headroom
To see what you can and what you can’t do
You were born with a limited skill
And plenty of minutes to fill
You are not in a hurry to kill, nobody’s coming for you
So don’t you feel ashamed
It’s the way you came
Into this world that sucks
Such a matter of ultra-terrible luck
There’s no joy in being selfish
When it’s not your day, it’s someone else’s
But you are greedy and there’s your fault
All the racing has turned you cold
You were dazed by the pot of gold while you didn’t even
Stand still to look at that pretty rainbow
Calm down buddy, it’s not a game show
You can act like a king but you’re not
Gotta work with the powers you’ve got
And if that means you’re a loser, so what?
The world needs losers too
So don’t you feel ashamed
It’s the way you came
Into this world that sucks
Such a matter of ultra-terrible luck

Toast
01:53

I’m sitting deep deep deep deep deep in my chair
Kind of dig it in there
Don’t wanna get back back back into the groove
Of having something to do
I’m over one first second third fourth of my life
About to turn 25
Without a bad memory to remove
I’ve got nothing to prove
And maybe that is the point
I’m only here for good fun
I have to water my plants
And keep them out of the sun
And it’s between my ears
And it’s beyond my reach
I guess it’s all the same
But I’ll have two of each, just in case
I get to leave that sweet sweet comfort of mine
In turn for something divine
In turn for nosebleed high speed motorbike chase
With your hand on my waist
And we will ride ride ride ride into a world
That’s so fresh and unsure
And I will rise rise rise rise up in the air
When the conditions are there
But as long as they’re not
I don’t pretend that I can
I only raise my glass
To how lucky I am
Because cheap champagne’s
Among my favorite drinks
A ceremonial sip
I’ll throw the rest in the sink and think
If that’s all there is to being me
Here’s to being me
Here’s to being me

Farm
03:38
|

|
I’m on a farm far from the rest
There’s always some work, every day a bit less
A dog in the yard is walking itself
Out in the fields, that is where she thrives best
Surrounded by trees and ditches and cows
The neighbors are nice but they live so far away
It’s lively by day, it can be lonely at night
That’s what you get in the countryside
I’m on a farm with my wife and my kids
We don’t read the paper, we don’t know what we miss
She works at home and sometimes she cries
Till I tell her I love her or how beautiful she is
But my conscience is clean as the air that I breathe
Stripped from ambitions that are too high to see
Most of you folks are not satisfied
But me, I am fine working the fields,
Enjoying the view of the countryside
I’m on a farm, been there all of my life
The kids live in town and so does my wife
I buried the dog, traded my cows
All on my own life is easier somehow
Nothing will change after I’m dead
Everything new has already been said
There’s so much to fear and that’s why we hide
Me and my farm in the countryside

Abel Natürlich Amsterdam, Netherlands
Abel is impatient, often values quantity over quality, takes humor seriously and envies artists who have no self-awareness. If this all sounds terribly pretentious to you, wait until you hear his music; some of it is way cooler than you think right now. ... more
