Thomas Dybdahl : ...That Great October Sound

Lyrics


1. FROM GRACE

it seems I have a weakness I didn't know about, till the day it rained
& it seems my weakness has been bulging, has been forcing its way
it seems I have a weakness I didn't know about, till the day it rained
& it seems my weakness will become my final stage

and it's here that I’ll give, yeah I’ll give you all my love
and it's here that I’ll give, yeah I’ll give you all my love

it seems I had a secret I didn't know about, till the day it poured
& it seems my secret has been bulging, has been forcing its way
it seems I had a secret I didn't know about, till the day it poured
& it seems my secret will become my final stage

and it's here that I’ll give, yeah I’ll give you all my love
and it's here that I’ll give, yeah I’ll give you all my love


2. ALL'S NOT LOST

stoned, half a mile from home
I was dragged a million miles away
to the nearest place where I could see the beauty & feel that all's not lost

in a bad motel
is where I fell
I found honest love
whoa, I got stoned!
in a bad motel
is where I fell
I found true & honest love at last

awake, to find yourself at war
on all (on all) fronts, including my core
a search to find the quiet peace of mind which lets me know that all's not lost

in a bad motel
is where I fell
I found honest love
whoa, I got stoned!
in a bad motel
is where I fell
I found true & honest love at last


3. THAT GREAT OCTOBER SOUND

operator
never had a dream last for so long
you should have seen her
she wore the sound of all to come

imitator
telling lies when I need hope
instigator
setting fire to my rope

inspirator
seeds of good will grow in me
animator
she shows me what I need to see

annihilator
one step forward in a world of speed
violator
she desires other men than me

perpetrator
doing wrong for all to see
confiscator
she takes your heart then lets it bleed

will I ever meet her
is she for real and to be found
cause to me sir
she was that great October sound


4. LIFE HERE IS GOLD

I travelled too far
to reach for the golden shrine, the evening star

but no matter where you are
you long for mama's food and daddy's car

home is how the word is spelt
and belonging is the feeling felt

no matter where you go you'll always be a part
a thousand miles and I'm home

take me back rolling

I have friends to see
maybe I'm old
life here is gold

take me back safe

I have friends to see
maybe I'm old
life here is gold


5. TOMORROW STAYS THE SAME

if Annie asks: will there be a bigger room tomorrow?
are you man enough to tell?
and if Annie asks: how about an evening, with dinner and romance?
are you man enough to tell?

it's been a long, long time for you to bear my friend
it's like an endless string of tomorrows
it's been a long, long time for you to bear my friend
but just like yesterday, tomorrow stays the same

you tell yourself, start being cynical, don't get your hopes up darling
but you want it so bad you can help
you let them drag you down all too easily, it's far too much for me
just believe in yourself and you'll prove them wrong

it's been a long, long time for you to bear my friend
it's like an endless string of tomorrows
it's been a long, long time for you to bear my friend
but just like yesterday, tomorrow stays the same


6. POSTULATE

(Instrumental)


7. ADELAIDE

yesterday it seemed, life was just a dream, a bad dream
you watch them all day long, feel you don't belong but you're wrong

life is good today. had a pretty boy look your way. don't worry Adelaide
life is good today. had a pretty boy look your way. don't worry Adelaide
Adelaide

you see the other girls, a strand of perfect pearls
and one day the sun will shine upon your face and you will find,
someone beautiful

life is good today. had a pretty boy look your way. don't worry Adelaide
life is good today. had a pretty boy look your way. don't worry Adelaide
Adelaide

and one day the sun will shine upon your face and you will find,
you're beautiful

life is good today. had a pretty boy look your way. don't worry Adelaide
life is good today. had a pretty boy look your way. don't worry Adelaide
Adelaide
Adelaide


8. JOHN WAYNE

don't dream what others do, don't tell me you're in dreaming too
cause shit aint always how you planned it, how you planned to break on trough
that aint you


life takes a different turn, it may feel like your average crash & burn
cause shit aint always how you planned it, how you planned to break on trough
and it aint always how you'd live your life if you could live your life again

in time you'll find someone a way to better yourself, a plan to break on through
and in time you'll find someone to guide you through, a guidance that'll do

the man says it's gonna be all right
cause day by day it gets better (in time)
yes it's gonna be all right
cause day by day it gets better (in time)
day by day leave your worries behind
take the word of someone loving you

It's all in place
don't dream what others do, don't tell me you're in dreaming too
cause shit aint always how you planned it, how you planned to break on trough
that aint you

in time you'll find someone a way to better yourself, a plan to break on through
and in time you'll find someone to guide you through, a guidance that'll do
and you'll find it's exactly how you'd live your life if you could live your life again
cause you found a friend


9. LOVE'S LOST

love's lost & rolling, rolling down the street
eight miles & rising, rise above defeat
aim high & feel low, low will make you grow

love's lost & rolling, tumbling lone & free
someday when I'm hiding, love will then find me
set sail in ruins, the things you'll find & see
will make for better days for you & me

that's how I got to be bigger
that's how I got to be braver
that's how I got to be bolder

(skip one round)

eight miles & rising, well I'm coming home at last

set sail in ruins, the things you'll find & see
will make for better days for you & me
(love like there's no tomorrow, dream like there's no today,
live life the only way you feel is the right way)

that's how I got to be bigger
that's how I got to be braver
that's how I got to be bolder
that's how I got to be (alone & free)


10. DREAMWEAVER

Tear us in different ways but leave a thread throughout the maze
in case I need to find my way back home
all these decisions make for people living without faith
fumbling in the dark nowhere to roam

dreamweaver
I'll be needing you tomorrow and for days to come

cause I'm no daydreamer
but I'll need a place to go if memory fails me & let you slip away

feeling of no control
empty heart, min, bottle & soul
drive a man to think he's on his own
fortunate ones are told, live happily grow wise, grow old,
never let the rain soak to the bone

dreamweaver
I'll be needing you tomorrow and for days to come

cause I'm no daydreamer
but I'll need a place to go if memory fails me & let you slip away

yes I'll need you tomorrow and for days to come
and I'll need you tomorrow and for weeks to come
I'll be needing you as long as memory fails from time to time

I need love, baby love, not trouble
Run like hell bitterness found
my love's gone bad god is dead now I'm weary
always on time, always in place,
to put a big smile on your face but no more
snap your fingers one more time I cut you up
and leave you dying all for one
but one for me

my face is pale
my eyes don't see

I need love, baby love, and not trouble
I need love, baby love, and not trouble
I need love, baby love, and not trouble
I need love, baby love, and not trouble

Run like hell bitterness found
my love's gone bad god is dead now I'm weary
always on time, always in place,
to put a big smile on your face but no more
snap your fingers one more time I cut you up
and leave you dying all for one
but one for me

my face is pale
my eyes don't see

I need love, baby love, and not trouble
I need love, baby love, and not trouble
I need love, baby love, and not trouble
I need love, baby love, and not trouble
