0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - The Build-up

The build-up

Lasted for days
Lasted for weeks
Lasted too long

Our hero withdrew
When there was two
He could not choose one
So there was none

Worn into the vaguely announced
Worn into the vaguely announced

The spinning top made a sound
Like a train across the valley
Fading, oh so quiet
But constant till it passed
Over the ridge into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
(repeat)

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Surprise Ice

When past sometimes takes you with soft hands

Forcelessly pulls you to your chair
Hides you away from these half days
Sunless at the end of the year
The air is like a knife cutting through you
A room in the house is always warm
Stretched out on the bathroom floor, thinking
Of fair days your future may hold

Love comes like surprise ice on the water
Love comes like surprise ice at dawn
Love comes like surprise ice on the water
Love comes at dawn

Deprived of the light and of colours
The world ends at your window tree
Darkness creates these illusions
But pale days can teach you to see

Rain falls, but no life is given
Weeks pass, no progress is made
Past sometimes takes you with soft hands
And all that surrounds you will fade

Love comes like surprise ice on the water
Love comes like surprise ice at dawn
Love comes like surprise ice on the water
Love comes at dawn

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Stay Out Of Trouble

1-2 1-2 

I walked around for hours
Two ten-pence pieces in my hand
I was alone and freezing
Still trying hard to understand you

I left the others knowing
I had to work this by myself
But now the feeling's growing
I would be better off with their help

So baby
What we've got
Has lately
Not been enough
Not been enough

I wish I had your scarf still
That once embraced and kept me warm
I wish you could be with me
In these last days when I am still
Hopelessly poor

Stay out of trouble, stay in touch
Try not to think about me too much
Stay out of trouble, stay in touch
Try not to think about me too much

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Misread

If you wanna be my friend

You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Love Is No Big Truth

All I do is sleep all day and think of you

A memory of the cushion life, I'm clinging to
The image of a mutual one, our haven
The sombre chords of our song, the fading
Love is no big truth
Driven by our genes
We are simple selfish beings
A symphony that's you
Joyously awaking
The ignorant and sleeping

Passion and its brother hate, they come and go
Could easily be made to stay for longer, though
Many people play this game so willingly
Do I have to be like them, or be lonely?

Love is no big truth
Driven by our genes
We are simple selfish beings
A symphony that's you
Joyously awaking
The ignorant and sleeping

I'll never need it again, again, again
I'll never need it again, again, again
I'll never need it again, again, again
I'll never need it again, again, again

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Live Long

Summerchild that sits by the water

Weaving sunlight threads in his hands
The golden river that day a shelter
A stream where he could make pebbles dance
You looked around you, nobody had taken
Any notice of what you saw
Against the evening sky, a formation
A million black birds looking like one

Live long, save ten years to remember
Live long, hold it in front of your eyes once more
Live long, save ten years to remember
Live long, hold it in front of your eyes

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Know-how

Riding on this know-how

Never been here before
Peculiarly entrusted
Possibly that's all
Is history recorded
Does someone have a tape?
Surely, I'm no pioneer
Constellations stay the same
Just a little bit of danger
When intriguingly
Our little secret
Trust say trust me
Cause no one will ever know
That this was happening
So tell me why you listen
When nobody's talking

Oh oh oh, what is there to know?
Oh, this is what it is
Oh oh oh, you and me alone
Sheer simplicity

Oh oh oh, what is there to know?
Oh, this is what it is
Oh oh oh, you and me alone
Sheer simplicity

Oh oh oh, what is there to know?
Oh, this is what it is
Oh oh oh, you and me alone
Sheer simplicity

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - I'd Rather Dance With You

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you

So why don't we just move into the other room
There's space for us to shake and hey, I like this tune
Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

The music's too loud, and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing

Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Homesick

I'll lose some sales and my boss won't be happy

But I can't stop listening to the sound

Of two soft voices blended in perfection

From the reels of this record that I've found

Every day there's a boy in the mirror

Asking me "What are you doing here?"

Finding all my previous motives

Growing increasingly unclear

I've travelled far and I've burned all the bridges

I believed as soon as I hit land

All the other options held before me

Would wither in the light of my plan

So I'll lose some sales and my boss won't be happy

But there's only one thing on my mind

Sarching boxes underneath the counter

On a chance that on a tape I'd find

A song for

Someone who needs somewhere

To long for

Homesick

Cause I no longer know

Where home is

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Gold In The Air Of Summer

Without giving anything away

I can say it's by the sea
It's a house that used to be
The home of a friend of mine
Without giving anything away
You'll find ships inside of bottles
And the garden's overgrown
The house is white but the paint is coming off

I didn't know if you wanted to
When I came to pick you up
You didn't even hesitate
And now you and me are on our way
I think I've brought everything we need
Don't look back, don't think of the...
Other places you should have been
It's a good thing that you came along with me

Gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Cayman Islands

Through the alleyways

To cool off in the shadows
Then into the street
Following the water
There's a bearded man
Paddling in his canoe
Looks as if he has
Come all the way from the Cayman Islands
These canals, it seems
They all go in circles
Places look the same
And we're the only difference
The wind is in your hair
It's covering my view
I'm holding on to you
On a bike we've hired until tomorrow

If only they could see
If only they had been here
They would understand
How someone could have chosen
To go the length I've gone
To spend just one day riding
Holding on to you
I never thought it would be this clear

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Mrs Cold

Hey baby, Mrs. Cold

Acting so tough
Didn't know you had it in you so be hurt at all
You waited too long
You should've hook me
before I put my raincoat on

Okay, I get it
Okay, I see
You were fronting because you knew you'd find yourself vulnerable around me
Okay, I get it
Okay, I see
You feel vulnerable around me

Hey, baby, what's going on?
You lost control and you lost your tongue
You lost me, deaf in my ear
Nothing you can say is gonna change the way I feel

Okay, I get it
Okay, I see
You were fronting because you knew you'd find yourself vulnerable around me
Okay, I get it
Okay, I see
I step too close to your boundaries

You wanted nobody around to see
You feel vulnerable around me

Hey baby
What is love?
It was just a game
We're both playing and we can't get enough of
We're both playing and we can't get enough of
We're both playing and we can't get enough o

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Me In You

Crossroads and given the option

To pass and look back at goals I've missed
Rainbows or burning bridges
If you squint a little more it looks the same

But ooooooooooooooooooooooooh
There's a little bit of me inside you
Gathering what you've lost
But oooooooooooooooooooooooooh
There's a little bit of you in everyone
Can never keep a secret

Problem; lines on your face
You smooth them out so no one can tell
put a straight back upon a stage
could (dance dance) hide the tremor in your hand

But ooooooooooooooooooooooooh
There's a little bit of me inside you
Gathering what you've lost
But oooooooooooooooooooooooooh
There's a little bit of you in everyone

And I'm watching you now
I see you building the castle with one hand
while tearing down another with the other

And I'm watching you now
I see you building the castle with one hand
while tearing down another with the other

And I'm watching you now
I see you building the castle with one hand
while tearing down another with the other

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Toxic Girl

In the sky the birds are pulling rain,

in your life a curse has got a name,
makes you lie awake all through the night
that's why.
She's intoxicated by herself,
everyday she's seen with someone else,
and every night she kisses someone new
never you.

You're waiting in the shadows for a chance
because you believe at heart, that if you can,
show to her what love is all about
she'll change.
She'll talk to you with no one else around,
but only if you're able to entertain her,
the moment conversation stops she's gone
again.

0 Lirik Lagu Kings of Confenience - Boat Behind

So we meet again

after several years
several years of separation
moving on
moving around

Did we spend this time chasing the other's tail?
Singing
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you

Winter and spring
Summer and fall
You're the wind surfer crossing the ocean and the boat behind
Skiffle and rag, shuffle and waltz
You're the up tip toe ballerina in the chorus line:
Singing
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you

River and sea, picking up salt
Through the air there's a fluffly cloud falling down as rain
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you - oohooh
I could never belong to you -ooh ooh
I could never belong to you -ooh ooh
