SHALL I BE A SAINT Shall I be a saint and live in the mountains Gather my desires into a treasure box Throw it from a mountain into the sea Shall I learn kindness from the trees Shall I become a gypsy man Stroke your heart instead of a fiddle Shall I travel to New York City And write you letters from there Shall I wear no crown if I’ll be the Queen Shall I ban computers and then TV Shall I unite all my demons Shall I set them free Given so much choice we cannot choose Shall I be a man and make love to the mermaids Finish all the wars someone started for me Shall I finally become a woman Out of our bodies make a nest Shall I become old and beautiful With the Moon map on my face Shall I waste no time and just go to Hollywood Like that Scottish man used to shout for me Given so much choice we cannot choose

GRAVITY OF YOUR FACE It’s hard to see your face and not fall on it The gravity of it is stronger than the Earth’s But I broke the gravity, I broke the rules of the Earth I learnt to fall again but not on you So go please go if you need to go All your invisible love, all your invisible pain I hide it in my veins, I hide it from myself So go please go if you need to go All the pain we have, all the pain we share Tigers lions feed on our hearts What will be of it in 100 years What will be of it in 100 days Elleda Elleda! Elleda Elleda! So go please go if you need to go today

SILENCE IS KIND How you say it How you keep it How you grow it How you give it How you throw it How I catch it How you hold it How you shut it How you go How I stay How you leave it How I breathe it How you touch it How you break it How you lose it How you say it You say it you say it you say it And all the things are falling apart You say it you say it you say it And lions grow in my heart Silence is good you know Silence is kind sometimes Please don’t say it Please don’t keep it Please don’t grow it Please don’t give it Please don’t throw it I can’t catch it Please don’t hold it Please don’t shut it Please don’t go I can’t stay Please don’t leave it I can’t breathe it Please don’t touch it Please don’t break it Please don’t lose it Please don’t say it You say it you say it you say it And all the things are falling apart You say it you say it you say it And lions grow in my heart Silence is good you know Silence is kind

MAMA MAMA When the night comes down and you cannot sleep Thinking about all the troubles that will happen to me He slowly comes into my life He slowly comes into my room Shadows growing on the walls Shadows growing like the tree Mama Mama I want him to steal me Mama Mama pretend you’re asleep And when night is slowly falling His hands are falling on me When the night comes down and I cannot fall asleep Thinking about all the troubles that did happen to me He slowly came into my life He slowly came into my room Shadows dancing in my belly Shadows growing like the sea Mama Mama I want him to steal me Mama Mama pretend you’re asleep And when night is slowly falling His hands are falling on me
