Fantastic.

* Beirut - Untitled 14

Album: The Joys of Losing Weight

* Beirut - Vagabond

Left the vagabonds
A trail of stones
Forward to find my way home
Now as the air grows cold
The trees unfold
And I am lost
And not found

And who knows [x3]

Now left the vagabonds
A trail of stones
Forward to find my way home
Now as the air grows cold
The truth unfolds
And I am lost
And not found [x2]

Mimizan - Beirut

* The lines are on board, it’s quiet offshore

But the wind blows
The children are here but the women just stare
From the windows

See the lawns outside, groomed green lawns
Oh how they glow
And I spotted you there with curlers in hair
On the telephone

And I’ll move for you
Yes, I’ll move for you
Oh I’ll move for you

Yes, I’ll move for you

Years spin round on the foyer
As the maid sweeps dust
And leaves from the back door

My heart could be yours
Within dreams we’re free
But you’d always ask for more

So, I’ll move for you
Yes, I’ll move for you
Oh I’ll move for you
Oh I’ll move for you

* Beirut - Cherbourg

And a fall from here
Is a long way down
I’ve found a better way out

And a fall from here
Is a long way down
I know a better way out

Well, it’s been a long time
Since I’ve seen you smile
Gambles away my fright
Till the morning lights shine

It’s been a long time
Since I’ve seen you smile
Gambles away my fright
Till the morning lights shine

Sunday morning
Only fog on the limbs
I called it again
What do you know

And I filled our days
With cards and gin
You’re alright again, my dear

I will lead the way
Oh, lead the way when I know
And I’ll sleep away
I’ll sweep away what I don’t

Well, seize the way
Oh, seize the way, no, I won’t
I will lead the way
Oh, lead the day when I know

* Life, life is all right on the Rhine

No, but I know, but I know
I would have nowhere to go
No, but there’s nowhere to go, to go

Nantes — Beirut

* Well it’s been a long time, long time now

Since I’ve seen you smile
And I’ll gamble away my fright
And I’ll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so
This will slip into the sea
Well it’s been a long time, long time now
Since I’ve seen you smile

Nobody raise your voices
Just another night in Nantes
Nobody raise your voices
Just another night in Nantes

- Oh non je t’en prie, nous ne sommes pas chez nous.
- Oh je t’assures que ce n’est pas grave.
- Non laisse moi!
- Mais qu’est-ce que tu as aujourd’hui?
- Je sais que les hommes me dégoutent. Vous ne pensez qu’à ça…

(- Oh please, no, we’re not at home.
- I’m telling you, it’s all right.
- No, let me go!
- What is wrong with you today?
- I only know that men disgust me. You all just think about one thing….)

Well it’s been a long time, long time now
Since I’ve seen you smile
And I’ll gamble away my fright
And I’ll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so
This will slip into the sea
Well it’s been a long time, long time now
Since I’ve seen you smile

Port of Call - Beirut

* And I, I called through the air that night

A calm sea voiced with a lie
I could only smile, I’ve been alone some time
And all, and all, it’s been fine

And you, you had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me, I may drift a while
Were it up to me, you know I’d

I, I called through the air that night
The faults were swarming inside
Was it infantile, that which we desired?
Were it up to me, all from your eyes

And I, I called through the air that night
My thoughts were still buried inside
We were closer then, I’ve been alone some time
Filled you glass with gin
Filled your heart with pride
And you, you had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me, I may drift a while

If there’s a plan for me
Would it make you smile?
No, don’t want to be there for no one
I can see

Beirut - A Candle’s Fire

* 

Oh light a candle’s fire, carries a good name
What would you ask a camp fire, it’s scares’d be just the same
And you, you had it all along, and endless need for games
Just don’t forget a candle’s fire, is only just a flame

I, it’s certain from a far, have failed to pull my weight
But you were light, you travelled through the fog, to arrive at our front Gate
Tonight we rest beside the fire, a smile upon your face
Just don’t forget a candle’s fire is only just a flame

If I had known not to carry on that way, 
It wouldn’t show in the creases of your face
If you should go but you carry on my name
Just let it blow, in the fog on Bishop’s Lane

Scenic World - Beirut

* The lights go on

The lights go off
When things don’t feel right
I lie down like a tired dog
Licking his wounds in the shade

When I feel alive
I try to imagine a careless life
A scenic world where the sunsets are all
Breathtaking

Brandenburg - Beirut

* Send me now,
the winter’s over.

A light turns out,
the winds are colder.
the love we had
will turn all over.

Going south 
and we are older.

On the tightrope
you waltz now.

On a night like this
you all turn around

No but I, I won’t 
hold you anymore.

No and I, I can’t
have you anymore,
my dear.

And some days we are all alone
On the banks of the rhine

And some days all we have
was worth while
and some sing dreams of spears
chose once in life.

And some days we are all alone
On the banks of the rhine.

* The lines are on board, it’s quiet offshore

But the wind blows
The children are here but the women just stare
From the windows

See the lawns outside, groomed green lawns
Oh how they glow
And I spotted you there with curlers in hair
On the telephone

And I’ll move for you
Yes, I’ll move for you
Oh I’ll move for you

 Yes, I’ll move for you

Years spin round on the foyer
As the maid sweeps dust
And leaves from the back door

My heart could be yours
Within dreams we’re free
But you’d always ask for more

So, I’ll move for you
Yes, I’ll move for you
Oh I’ll move for you
Oh I’ll move for you
