lyrics

They meet and he speaks
And fumbles some great pickup line
She claps and they laugh
He knows that everything is fine
She waits for his calls
Finds that they’re talking all the time
She knows what this means
And knows he won’t understand why
Why…why…why…?
He says “Why…why…why…?”

My mother, my father, my brother
Just wouldn’t understand
She said, my sister, my friends, my god
Say it ain’t in our plan
He says, your mother, your father they just
Just don’t understand this love
She says, it’s not them, it’s me
I can’t, can’t do this just because

This is not our time and place
It is just a simple fact
It is not the color of our skin
That holds us back
A blackbird and a goldfish
We could fall in love
But where would we build our home
In the sea or up above

He looks her up and down and says
What’s the difference between you and I
She said, look at me I can’t swim
I’m pretty damn sure you can’t fly
He spread his fins out and jumped to the sky
When he came crashing down
Landed flat on the ground
She frowned and said
That’s why…

What good is love…love
When it just brings pain…pain
What good is knowing what you want
When it’s just not sane…sane
What good is hope…hope
When it’s not meant to be…be
Maybe next time that we meet things will turn out differently

Supermarket Sensation

Have you ever wondered who that band is playing in the background at the supermarket while you shop for melons. Chances are, at some point, it was us! Well, at least if you are in a European supermarket. Our songs have been played millions of times in stores throughout the world, but sadly we haven’t had any luck breaking into the cut throat supermarket game in the US. ... more
