Kaleidoscope
(Kate Havnevik)
You cut me out in little stars
And place me in the sky
I lose my sense of time
You know me
How troubled I can be
But through your kaleidoscope
I let go
'Cause you show me
The world as it could be
Through your kaleidoscope
It's beautiful
A tingle travels up my spine
A cluster of colors and twine
As we melt into wine
You know me
How troubled I can be
But through your kaleidoscope
I let go
'Cause you show me
The world as it could be
Through your kaleidoscope
It's beautiful

Nowhere Warm
(Kate Hvnevik)
I go nowhere high
Go nowhere warm
Until I see your smile and feel your calm
And I lick a dime
I crave for you boy
You're like a parachute descending from the sky
And I'm sure you're on your way
Yes I'm sure you're on the road
I go nowhere high
Go nowhere warm
Until you're by my side
Your hand in mine
And I've always known
You're like a feather
You go where wind and fire melt together
And I'm sure you're on your way
Yes I'm sure you’re on the road
And I'm sure you’re faster than before
Yes I know you’re somewhere on the road
I reckon there is nothing more to say
Nouvelle Vague – The American
Arranjado por Marc Collin e Olivier Libaux, esse grupo francês é um "coletivo musical", pois caracteriza-se por escalar uma cantora para cada música. Entre outras curiosidades, o nome Nouvelle Vague é uma espécie de jogo de palavras que faz referência a "francesidade" do grupo, ao movimento do cinema francês dos anos 1960, ao estilo bossa nova e à fonte das canções, todas covers de músicas punk rock, pós-punk e new wave dos anos 1980. Do álbum 3 (PIAS Recordings - 2009), essa faixa é um cover da gravação original do Simple Mind.

The American
(Charlie Burchill, Jim Kerr, Derek Forbes, Mick McNeil, Brian McGee)
Here comes the shake
The speed-decade wake
I see you wake shake
Fit on those overalls
What do you know about this world anyway
I see a man
With an airfield plan
I caught a boy fall out of the sky
What do you know about this world anyway
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-American
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-American
Every time you touch this place
It feels like sin
Every time the handshake starts
The face draws in
What do you know about this world anyway
Here comes the sun the American sun
In here the sun shines so bright
Eyes blind
What do you know about this world anyway

What's In The Middle
(Inara George, Greg Kurstin)
Where is the middle, is the middle of your mind
Is it the place where you stop, where you just stop trying
Call out the dogs and let them have a sniff
They might catch a little sent before you just forget it
Loosing your head is such a common theme
All your brains are falling out, falling out the open seams
Where is the heart, is the heart of the matter
I must empty out my skull of all this useless chatter
I want an empty head, I want to go to bed
For a long long long time
I want to fall behind, I want to get in line
For a long long long time
What's in the name if it's a name you can't remember
You thought you had it down, but then you ran back to the center
What's in a word if that word has lost its meaning
If you say it all the time a dirty word will get its cleaning
Where is the end is the edge of understanding
I might think its over rated I can't take the line expanding
Give me a push a little push in one direction
I might need a little help with my own interconnection
I want an empty head, I want to go to bed
For a long long long time
I want to fall behind I want to get in line
For a long long long time
I want an empty head, I want to go to bed
For a long long long time
I want to fall behind I want to get in line
For a long long long time
I want an empty head, I want to go to bed
For a long long long time
I want to fall behind I want to get in line
For a long long long time

Other Side Of The World
(Kt Tundstall)
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world
Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore
The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me
