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

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
