Nur Ein VII - Breaking the Ice

[Caravan Ray]

Breaking the Ice
by Genevieve Johnson and The Chiefs


Excuse me
But I couldn’t help but notice that you seem to be here unaccompanied tonight
If you wouldn’t mind
Could I ask a few small questions
I don’t mean to be too forward, would it be alright?

I was just wondering…

If I bought you a drink could I sit down here beside you?
If I bought you some flowers would you think that I was sweet?
Could I maybe go and play your favourite song upon the jukebox?
I could shout us a meal – would you like something to eat?

I hope I am not being to presumptuous
I’m not some creepy stalker weirdo, really, that’s not me
I’ve just been overcome
By some inexplicable urge to come over here and offer you my generosity

If I bought you a diamond do you think that it would sparkle
With the same amazing intensity that I see in your eyes?
If I bought you a rainbow would it look dull in comparison
To the magic way in which your smile lights the skies?

If I bought you the bound complete works of William Shakespeare
Would he have the words to describe your stunning grace?
If I bought you a superconducting electromagnet
Would it be as attractive as your pretty face?

If I bought you a Rose Period painting by Picasso
Would the colours in it match the colours blooming in your cheeks?
If I bought you a great big giant tub of golden honey
Could we re-enact the kitchen scene in 9 1/2 Weeks?

Ooops – I’ve crossed a boundary there haven’t I
I’m sorry – let’s step back – re-assess and take some air
Let’s return to my original entreaty
Can I shout you a drink?
We’ll see how things go from there

[EvelBist]

It's the world all around
that's so unkind
The pressures on and even I did fine

Chorus
Now you're gone to LA
you're a million miles away
so how could we even try
to break the ice?

It was me who let it lapse
and go cold
And now this loud badass has just grown old

Chorus

Bridge
We're all shouting now
“hey team watch it drown!”
You want me to understand?

Want to my soul
to believe it's gold
And all that shouting talk was to bluff this fool

Chorus

G Bm Asus

It's so easy to synthesise
Love that works if you squint the eyes
You may take me for one of those guys
And you'd be right

But I'm tired of the double life
Frozen heart, overthinking mind
How I'd love you to look right inside
Through the ice

G D A D
G D A D

'Cause I could win each step of the fight
Just to fall with the finish in sight
If I'm'a do this I'll get it done right
I've got my heart out, breaking the ice

For a while it's a bit of fun
A cool relief from the summer sun
But when the winter comes you'll just run
Or I'll freeze you out

And I know that it's all my fault
But it's still hard with a heart so cold
So that I'm warm when I have you to hold
I'm thawing out

G Bm G Bm
G Bm Asus

It feels like a cage, this world that I've made
If feels like I'm playing love like a game
But it's not the same and I must break away
Bare my heart to your truthful gaze

G D/F# A D

Because for you I'll be doing this right
I've got my heart out, breaking the ice

Yeah, for you I'll be doing this right
I've got my heart out, breaking the ice

Breaking the Ice - Frankie Big Face

Living all my years in the shadow of doubt
Hiding under the table 'til it's safe to come out
In my heart, there's a vacancy that you can't see
No, you can't see
I want to tell how our life could be
But the words are bottled up inside of me.

CHORUS:
Pins to needles, needles to pins
I'll need an axe if I want to get in
Your shell is thick and your patience thin
Breaking the ice, don't know where to begin

See each other on the number four train every day
Trading smiles 'cross the aisle in the usual way
In my mind I weave a thousand plots
That leave me all tied up in knots
Just as I overcome my second thoughts
We reach your stop and I've blown another shot

CHORUS

And I want to shout (Hey! Hey!)
Is there anyone in there?
I open my mouth
And all I get is air
And I want to shout (Hey! Hey!)
Is there anyone in there?
I open my mouth
But nothing comes out

CHORUS

[Rabid Garfunkel]

"Breaking the Ice"
-Rabid Garfunkel

The man found me down in New Jersey
Drinking my sorrows away
He said "Son, what you need, is a change of scene
And boy, is it your lucky day"

Breaking the ice
With this old fucking ship
Way and a far off and gone
The only thing colder
Than this arctic trip
Is the heart of my lady in stone

So I showed up at the dock that morning
And the captain he did say
"Man, you must be running from something"
I said "No sir, I'm just running away"

Breaking the ice
With this old fucking ship
Way and a far off and gone
The only thing colder
Than this arctic trip
Is the heart of my lady…

BREAKING THE ICE

she'll watch the clock a lot
and she'll try to say so in a song
she'll guess at absolutes
and probably get it wrong

you think you'll want to know
all about her little ways
maybe you imagine
what she'd do with all the things
that you won't say

/But breaking the ice
is not a good idea
well you just make it seem
so nice

look at this -
nobody seems to mind
everybody wants a little something
when it's so hot outside

she's staring at the screen
she adds it up all the time!
you know she breathes so deep
when she reads anything that's right

/so maybe
breaking the ice
is not a good idea
but you just make it seem
so .....

~I could scream!
It'll happen again I know -
all birds fly away ...
then they all vanish
like smoke into the sky
-that's why she won't play dice
...thats why they call it
thin
ice ...

just another fools game
just another wall
just another number
that she's never gonna call

she'll watch the clock a lot
she knows it's quittin' time
she wonders what the broken birds remember
when they fly home
at nighttime...

[Manhattan Glutton]

chipping away
at the ice

i'm cold and i'm damp and i'm tired
but I'm fighting for the prize

this one little task
is a matter of pride

let me in let me in let me inside

in the season of love
as the light is growing
feel the warmth from above
but I can't break through
no I can't break through
to you

my sweat turned to ice
i'm working so hard
that i did not realize

it's freezing out here, don't you know
my toes are all blue and
i'm up to my eyeballs in snow

If I never reach out
Send you a letter then we'd never know
But if I hesitate then we'd miss the chance
And throw it all away

I wanna know
Could you be the one for me
Never knowing is the hardest part
Just tell me what you need from me

Don't wanna set myself up for
Humiliation, rejection, failed expectations

NO NO NO NO
Don't break the ice
Unless you wanna fall through
But sometimes breaking the ice is what we have to do
I'm breaking the ice
Because I wanna fall through
Sometimes breaking the ice is what we have to do

Maybe you'll be the one
Knocking at my door
But I just can't sit around here and wait
'Cause you're never here

I wanna know
Could I be the one for you
Or is all this in my imagination
Maybe you don't care for me

NO NO NO NO
Don't break the ice
Unless you wanna fall through
But sometimes breaking the ice is what we have to do
I'm breaking the ice
Because I wanna fall through
Sometimes breaking the ice is what we have to do

I'm writing this letter
Tell you everything I need to say
Then I'll tear it apart
And let the wind take it all away

But I still need to know
Would you take my hand and walk with me
And I would never never let it go
But I think it may be too late

Don't break the ice
Unless you wanna fall through
But sometimes breaking the ice is what we have to do
I'm breaking the ice
Because I wanna fall through
Sometimes breaking the ice is what we have to do
'Cause sometimes breaking the ice is what we have to do

Breaking the Ice
by WreckdoM

I got a big heart and a lot to give
I got a lot of love, and I love to live
I'm fun loving, and I love to laugh
I'm carefree, easygoing, and laid back

I hope you like what you see
Pick me, pick me, pick me
I'm free most nights of the week
Pick me, pick me, pick me
Pick me, pick me, pick me

I've got a warm smile that I like to share
I've got a good job, and I'm going somewhere
I like playful dates, and romantic nights
And I'm not afraid to show my sensitive side

There's lots of fish in the sea
Pick me, pick me, pick me
I take care of my hair and teeth
Pick me, pick me, pick me
Pick me, pick me, pick me

I don't do drugs, but I drink socially
I like staying fit, and I'm earth friendly
I read a lot, I don't even own a t.v.!
I'm not religious but I do live spiritually

Down to earth and outdoorsy
Pick me, pick me, pick me
Some college, but no degree
Pick me, pick me, pick me
Pick me, pick me, pick me
Pick me, pick me, pick me
Pick me, pick me

Breaking the Ice
by Jon Eric

Would you guess that every “gentleman” here
Has been gazing your way all night?
Even me, and I would get a little closer
If I wasn’t so fuckin’ polite

Even if I tried to start a conversation
I would just be the last of a million men
So I would rather observe from the bench
Than try running the gauntlet again

If I break the ice, we’ll both fall through
And I would never wish that fate on you

And the truth that no one here will admit
Is that you’re actually not that great
After years of free drinks and attention
There’s no way you and I could relate

I could compare you to fictional figures
Like Helen of Troy or Lolita
But if I tell you what I’m honestly thinking
I’ll be wearing your margarita

If I break the ice, we’ll both fall through
And I would never wish that fate on you
Cold and drowning, panicked, scared
Searching for that breath of air
So I’ll just stay away, that’s what I’ll do

[shouting]
Aw, you think you’re soooo special. What do you do, anyway? I mean, what do you do? Other than… sit at the bar, lookin’ pretty? Huh? How drunk are you? Y’know, I won a Song Fight once. I do things with my life. So how ‘bout this? How ‘bout you buy me a drink, huh? …Please?

If I break the ice, we’ll both fall through
And I would never wish that fate on you
Cold and drowning, panicked, scared
Searching for a breath of air
So I’ll just stay away, that’s what I’ll do
I’ll just stay away, that’s what I’ll
What I’ll do

Breaking The Ice

I'm in love with a girl
Oh, my head's in whirl
I see rainbows, unicorns when she walks in the door!
But she won't say my name
It's really such a shame
To have psychiatrists wrestle me to the floor...

Ch 1:
I TRIED TO BREAK THE ICE!!
I TOLD HER HER SHOES WERE NICE!!
THE COLOR COMPLEMENTS HER EYES!!
BUT SHE JUST RAN AWAY!!

I WANT TO MEET SOMEONE
WHO IS PRETTY, KIND AND KINDA FUN
PERHAPS YOU WILL BE THE ONE
BUT SHE JUST RAN AWAY

I THOUGHT WE JUST HIT IT OFF
OOPS I DID GAS AND THEN SHE COUGHED
I TRIED TO DO MY FUNNY LAUGH
AND SHE JUST RAN AWAY

IS IT SOMETHING STUCK INSIDE MY CRAW??
WAS IT THE GRINDING OF MY JAW??
WAS IT SOME OTHER UNKNOWN FLAW??
WHAT'S WRONG WITH GIRLS TODAY???

She works at a wonderful place
I'd love to watch her face
As I work there too so I tried to get a job
But they didn't want me
Gosh, can't they all see?
I'm much better since I was a hitman for the mob...

I THINK I'D BE GREAT AT THIS JOB!!
I'M GOOD WITH CLIENTS, DOGS AND MOBS!!
AND EVEN ANTISOCIAL SNOBS!!
SO HIRE ME RIGHT NOW!!!!

I'M EXCELLENT HERE ON THE PHONE
I HAVE A VERY PLEASANT TONE
I WORK IN GROUPS OR JUST ALONE
SO HIRE ME RIGHT NOW!!!

YOU CAN SAY I'M GOOD AT WORK
I WAS HERE AS A SHIPPING CLERK
UNTIL THAT JERK GAVE ME A SMIRK
SO HIRE ME RIGHT NOW

I'M THE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYERS!!
I SOLVE PROBLEMS - I FIX STAIRS!!
YOU'RE PRESSING A RED BUTTON THERE??
PLEASE DON'T DRAG ME OFF BY MY HAIR!!

So now I'm all alone
I tried driving home
I guess 120 miles per hour is too fast
Those nice police stopped me
I smiled for them to see
Then I used my Tae Kwon Do to put them all in casts

HERE'S MY LICENSE AND REGISTRATION!!
DO YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION??
I FULFILLED THE TERMS OF MY PROBATION!!
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME

YES YOUR NECK IS PRETTY THICK
WHY DID YOU PULL OUT YOUR NIGHT STICK
I DIDN'T CALL YOU A BIG DICK
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME

WHY DO YOU LOOK AT ME SO MAD
YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY NOT SO SAD
IT'S NOT LIKE I TOLD YOU TO BLOW YOUR DAD
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME

MY HANDS ARE ON THE STEERING WHEEL
AT 9 AND 3 TO MAKE YOU FEEL
RELAXED AND I SEEM MUCH LESS THREATENING
YOU PULLED YOUR GUN MY PANTS I'M WETTENING
