Inspired by the music, the mood on his blog and perhaps the fact that I'm flying to Brazil on saturday (whoa!!?) I scribbled down an attempt at some lyrics... hey, it's a hobby.
I think this is the first time I write lyrics in english, come to think of it (but I've written plenty of lyrics in swedish, thanks 2 spexet). I'll leave my imagined melody to this a mystery (for lack of technical means to reproduce it in a blog-friendly manner... plus I can't read notes ;)
Nico: Hope you accept this public hijacking and mauling of your fantastic music... ;) this is just me passing time, and these are freeform lyrics (inspired by, etc etc), or more like a draft, so naturally it doesn't follow the music exactly... Ah, jus' take it for what it is. And thanks for the distraction ;)
=====================
Lyrics inspired by the song Airplanes and other things
Airplanes are leaving this city without me again
I told them to go,
I'll catch up when I'm ready
I'm just stuck in customs, again
Turbulence, material blends
They're leaving without me again
For a temporary stay
in a beautiful place
with a multi-syllable name
Give me an anthem of men and their sisters
Give me directions, give me some baggage
And a goal in life, or a gentle hint,
or something like it, or just a temp contract
Would I recognize a potential travelling companion
Somebody to leave this place alongside
For a while
Am I wainting in line
Or buying time?
For kicks, for laughs, for want of an occupation
They leave me here and go to some destination
Here today
Far away
Forever waiting for them to recognize me
Come into being and revolutionize me
Here to play?
Go away
Oh look
Airplanes are leaving this city without me again
Passengers and baggage too
One of them might be you
And if that's the case
I'm leaving too
