Under Water
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 19th January 2008 All Rights Reserved
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So you’re careful not to push too hard
And you don’t want to go to far
But every step that moves you ahead takes you further than you ever wanted to go
And if it’s called a home
It doesn’t mean it is
No matter how much hope
You pour into it
It’s just a waste of time
When you’re chasing down that dream
That illusive something that’s always slipping through your fingers
I’m looking at the ceiling
Looking at the ceiling
Waiting for the light to come on
And if it feels like love
It doesn’t mean it is
There’s no one leaving chocolate
Under my pillow case
Oh I had an apple on the top of my head
The target for the arrow that’s aimed to kill me dead
In the water
Real is overrated
Going under water
Swimming in the water
Breathing in the water
Breathing out the water
Oh my baby never learned how to swim
He’s on another wavelength
Wish I was him
Yeah I’m hanging up my fishnet stockings and trading them in on some warm socks and a comfortable corner to hide myself in
It’s crazy and familiar
The panic in my legs
Toxic as paint thinner as it opens up my veins
Wish I could get satisfaction from a great pair of shoes like my friend Poppy
But I’m not happy unless I’m barefoot
Happy when I’m barefoot
Barefoot
Happy when I’m barefoot and blue
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
And if it tastes like honey
It doesn’t mean it is
You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness
And if it tastes like honey
It doesn’t mean it is
You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness
And if it tastes like honey
It doesn’t mean it is
You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness
And if it tastes like honey
It doesn’t mean it is
You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness
Bleed it all out
The poison, the venom, the essence, the disillusionment, the disillusionment
Bleed it all out
The poison, the venom, the essence, the disillusionment, the disillusionment
You know a little kindness goes a long way

Strange Lately
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 27th January 2008 All Rights Reserved
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always ripping myself away before the glue dries
Cause who knows if it’s good or bad or black or white lies
We could be boxing all this time of our lives to get it right
Laugh until we cry
Remember we were gods when it was just you and me
Liberated from suburbia
Emancipated from fathers’ knee
It’s dead to reason with obsession drives it deeper in
Suicide
A mortal sin
Chorus
You’re just a little strange lately
Not much to say lately
Your mouth is open baby
Let your happiness out
You’re just a little strange lately
Not much to say lately
Your mouth is open baby
Let your happiness out
It’s not impossible to see inside her through the pain
You can look away if it gets too much to bare
Like windows on the tv news
Too many to see through
I’m not in love with you
Oh I’m not in love with you x 3
Chorus
Always ripping myself away before the glue dries
Cause who knows if it’s good or bad or black or white lies
We could be boxing all this time of our lives to get it right
Oh I’m not in love with you x 5

Fearless
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 14th December 2007 All Rights Reserved
We all wish for love
We all dream of love
We all want love
And happiness
And happiness
We’re all running loose inside our own dimensions
Looking for meaning from the meaningless
Fearless but not responsible
I wear a hat to keep the cold out
While the heat burns up my fingertips
Fearless but not responsible
Looking for love
Looking for someone
Looking for me
Looking for him
And the lonely talk
And the lonely cry
And the lonely hope
And the lonely are not responsible
There’s a fire moving up from the core
Sending messages to everyone I know
Fearless but not responsible
Feeling hopeless and debilitated
From de-masculating all the lovers in their lives
Fearless but not responsible
We all fool ourselves that love is king
Looking for love
Looking for him
Fearless but not responsible
I’m not responsible
I’ve been waiting for something all my life
I’ve been waiting and waiting for something all this time
Every thought I have ignites regret
Living it happy is difficult I bet
Fearless but not responsible
I’m not responsible
I’m not responsible
I’m not responsible
We all fool ourselves that love is king
Looking for love looking for him
Fearless but not responsible
I’m not responsible
We all wish for love
We all dream of love
We all want love
And happiness
And happiness
Happy? Happy?
Looking for love
Looking for someone
Looking for me
Looking for him
We all fool ourselves yeah
That love is king
That love is king
That love is king
That love is king
That love is king
I’m not responsible
Not responsible
We all wish for love and happiness
And happiness
Happy? Happy?

Famous
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 3rd January 2008 All Rights Reserved
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So you want to be the life of the party
And you want to be peace to mankind
Really want to be mother and father
So you want to know the meaning of life
Want to be the ripple and wave
Really want to know yourself completely
Ooh
So you want to start your own revolution
And you want to be queen of the ball
You really want to be a practical person
Do you really want to hold emotions to ransom
Do you want to be cruel to be kind
Do you really want to lose precious intentions
So you really want everyone to like you
And you want everyone to see
Do you really want to be this famous
So you really want everyone to like you
And you want everyone to see
Do you really want to be this famous
Ooh
So you really want everyone to like you
And you want everyone to see
Do you really want to be this famous
Do you really want to be this famous
Do you really want to be this famous
Do you really want to be this famous
Do you really want to be this famous
Do you really want to be this famous
Do you really want to be this famous

Dead End Ahead
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 25th January 2008 All Rights Reserved
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t want to be the start here or the end
Don’t want to hang the rope to lynch my intent
It was good
Let down my protection
Thought it was heaven I was living in
Ooh ooh ooh
And If I’d had a clue I would have read the sign
I’d open up instead of going blind
There can be some relief minimally
Through my tinted reality
Strange reality
Special reality
I said I’m sorry, sorry, sorry for the lapse in concentration
But it was only temporary
Now I’m back on my knees
And I’m begging, begging please
Chorus
There’s a long road with a dead end ahead
There’s a long road with a dead end ahead
There’s a long road with a dead end ahead
There’s a long road with a dead end ahead
Isn’t this just the way you feel
Isn’t this just the way you feel
Isn’t this just the way you feel
It’s made me so tired that I can’t lift my head
I can’t clear this thought from my burning bed
I’m so paranoid
And so desperate
There is no protection
When you’re running scared
Ooh
Running scared
Ooh
It’s made me so tired that I can’t lift my head
I can’t clear this thought from my burning bed
I’m so paranoid
And so desperate
There is no protection
When you’re running scared
Chorus
Isn’t this just the way you feel
Isn’t this just the way you feel
Isn’t this just the way you feel
Isn’t this just the way you feel
Isn’t this just the way you feel
Guess I’m having a bad day

Highway of Everlasting Bliss
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 31st December 2007 All Rights Reserved
I’ve been building this wall but the cracks are showing
If you got inside then there’s more of you coming
You were holding me up into white light and fading
To become the machine that keeps everyone waiting
Chorus
But you don’t really love me
Ooh
You don’t really love me
Oh I miss what we had before we let it slide
I engraved the loss into my wounded bright side
The scar on my wrist is the history we made
If you give me the answer
I’ll show you the way
Out of the torrent of unhappiness
And onto the highway of everlasting bliss
Ruby is the red you disguise with a blush
Shimmering with hunger and the pain of the loss
Yeah
Chorus
My left foot walks backward
And the right straight ahead
My arms are the balance to keep me from losing my head
Deconstructing the worst of myself
To live in a world where illusion is everything
A neon sign blinking over my head
While the light is blinding
Telling me x 10
That I’m dead
Chorus
Out of the torrent of unhappiness
And onto the highway of everlasting bliss
Ruby is the red you disguise with a blush
Shimmering with hunger and the pain of the loss
But you don’t really love me
Ooh
You don’t really love me
Out of the torrent of unhappiness
And onto the highway of everlasting bliss
Out of the torrent of unhappiness
And onto the highway of everlasting bliss
Out of the torrent of unhappiness
And onto the highway of everlasting bliss
Out of the torrent of unhappiness
And onto the highway of everlasting bliss

Bossanova
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 1st February 2008 All Rights Reserved
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the wire stepping into oblivion
Someone set a fire to everything we believed in
Chorus
But I am hopeful and patient
Unremarkably naked
Drinking love with Bossanova
Filling up til I’m running over
So you take back one lie
And you think you live an honest life
It’s black here in the circle
So curl up your toes and decide
Do you want to be right
Or do you want to be happy
Lovers and cigarettes
One after the other
Chorus
Chorus
That’s right
Mmm
Blew out all the candles on my birthday cake
Yes I did
In the excitement I forgot to make my wish
I have broken every mirror from your room to mine
For me to be lucky
It’s gonna take a long, long time
For me to be lucky
That’s life
That’s life
That’s my life
Shit

Start
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo - © 10th December 2007 All Rights Reserved
I didn’t break
I only came close
I missed the call but I didn’t miss the fuse blow
I can’t fall further than I’m falling
I want to start talking my head off
I want to start climbing that hill
I want to start before I finish
I want to start so I’m leaving now
The miles of you that I walked
Found my way around your talk
Pretty girls in mini skirts
Taunted me until it hurt
One and two and three and four
Heard you breaking down my door
Scratching with your fingernails
On a boat without my sails
High on Alisons Parade
Start me up before I fade
Fade
Start me up before I fade
Fade
I didn’t break
I only came close

Filter
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 5th December 2007 All Rights Reserved
There’s so much shit inside my head
Can’t get the words out or make my bed
Guess I’m too down to see the floor
Everything’s much bigger here
Down on the floor
I try to laugh but there’s not a twitch
Can’t even move to scratch this itch
I’ve got the needle ready to go but my frequency is set too low
Now the filter is on
Chorus
I’m coming down
Don’t want to come down
I’m coming down
Don’t want to come down
With the filter on
And the bottle dry
In a lonely place
Where lonely people cry
Complicated and innocent
Don’t let them find a place to live here in my head
Now the filter is on
And my bed’s on fire
Lit with kerosene and gasoline
Chorus

Interference
Lyrics and Music - Erika Bach/Lola Demo – © 5th January 2008 All Rights Reserved
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is sound of your regret
Disappointment and unhappiness
The sound of hunger and relief
Of all the dreams you once believed
This is the sound of hell on earth
Of all the deceit to which you gave birth
The sound of danger in your head
Of all the tenderness unfed
This is the place to hide your fears
The place that drowns beneath your tears
This is the place to lay your head
Now you’ve set fire to your bed
This is the taste of bitterness
Of poisoning everything you possess
This is the taste of salt and sour
The taste of unforgiving power
Is this what you want
Is this what you really want
Is this what you live for
Is this what you really live for
This is the smell of beast and hovel
The smell of rotting when you grovel
The wind the rain the lightning striking
You down to nothing worth this fighting
This is the smell of beast and hovel
The smell of rotting when you grovel
The wind the rain the lightning striking
You down to nothing worth this fighting
Is this what you want
Is this what you want
