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?

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 05:29
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 05:14
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 04:35
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 03:52
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
