- 10 000 Horses
from "Happy Pills" 1998
Feels like the same today
10,000 horses drag me down
seems like the same you say
10,000 voices crying out
you put on yourself you'll see
there's nothing left at all
- A Kiss Before
I just quite breathe alone
The patience pressing harder still
Have I lost my call
My fantasies all unfulfilled?
What can I liken to these seas?
A kiss before may bury me
To drown within a day is closer than you think
- A Stone's Throw Away
Did I feel this way back then?
Did you wake up to the sound of pouring rain?
Fading days of blue rush past your eyes
Would you lose yourself in someone else's vain?
Or should you shout your mind out when the loss began?
High until you washed away
It's all the same
I realized it through this song
- Arrow
She don't have a name
She don't have a face
Never had much of anything
Yes I see you and I fall from grace
She don't have the line
She don't have the time
Never had much of anything
- Blinders
Friends seem to see you
Friends seem to feel you
Does anybody else know?
I'm bailing you out of this life
Take another glance
Then close your eyes
Have you got more to say?
- Breathe Me In
You came out of nowhere, and our eyes collide
Like a wall collapsing, a crushing tide
And I saw you laughing, and I saw your smile
It made me anxious baby, it made me high
You ask I answer no, that seat's been removed
You're a deep-rooted tree, an artist's muse
I watch you listen, and I watch you share
You make me want more
- Change
As I stand here I ponder greater things
No longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams
So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come
- Consider Us
Consider us the long lonely road
Defenders of the brittlest of bones
The dressers of the prettiest of clothes
Our time is gonna come but we'll have nowhere to go
What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
- Drowned
Turn me into, another corner.
See I'm sideways, I'm unopened.
I let it before I lose myself, I'm empty and inspired alone
And I swear, I can say to you. And I swear, I can say to you.
So I write it down, and slip away from faith.
Frustrated and anxious to grow.
Addressed in clothes that never fit my mind,
- Far Behind
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And not maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside they watch you crumble
As you falter to the ground
- Happy Pills
Sometimes you wake to see yourself
Take happier pills to keep you well
And sometimes you talk to hear yourself
Screaming out loud
Never ever heard a word you said
Can't you see yourself?
Can't you understand?
There's more truth in the way that you lie
- He Calls Home
I see him everyday
In that blanket that he calls home
I wonder does he know
That his family they're left alone
He says brother can you spare
Can you spare a dime
See I'm down to my last dollar
And this life of mine
- Look What You've Done
I can borrow, if you've got the time
I never needed anybody's help to make up my mind
You won't be here long
Enough to stand out
You're on fi fi fire till everybody finds out
Look what you've done, done to my head
Look what you've done, look what you've done
Done to my head, you've got me thinking
- Lover Come Back To Me
D'you ever see yourself in my eyes?
Did you ever think that maybe I'd be lost without you?
D'you ever think that I was alright
You knew it all along
D'ya ever try to sing to my songs?
Did you ever take a walk is wasn't walking with you, yea?
Did you love me just to be loved?
- Miss You
All, all it's not alright
Your role it played through time
Come and rescue me
you're needed here at home
And your space, a moment in time
A hand to hold a hand I tried
Who was it called to you?
- No Sense
Feelin' fine
The fire won't burn out
Taste the sign
The trees won't come out
Seeing traffic driving by
Maybe you won't see me again
Cause I'm needed
Needed more and more every day
- Riptide
I don't really wanna live
Bearing something I can't let go of, can't let go of
And I don't really wanna live
Chasing something I can't catch hold of, can't catch hold of
I, I was caught in a wave
And I, I thought nothing would change
But right then
Baby, baby you have found me
- Simple Lessons
Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left without, saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less
Snap and fall long before you let go
Time's run over you sink onto my floor
It's okay, we've cleaned them many times before
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are
- Supernova
Momma, what you runnin' from
Momma, why'd you go?
Left alone remembering
Momma, come back home
Momma, never knew what hit me
I'm still stumbling from the night
Momma, oh it never felt so true
I'm still trembling from the height
- Trip
You tripped me up
I lost my breath
I'd been this close, Lord only knows, but I'd never missed a step
You turned it up
This fire burning in me
I can see that there's love in your eyes, and baby, I can't speak
I can see that there's love in your eyes, and baby, I can't speak
I believe in singing bout you and I
- Vexatious
All day long (Baby)
So made up (Baby, baby)
All the things that you said you believed in
Another victim of the "who's starving" feeling
Another object, yes, you want the pursuing
Red dress, skinny mess, lips drawn, you go
Can you do what's been done?
Can you shine in the sun?
- Vulgar Before Me
To you. seperation, only to put it down.
To you. desperation, only to be around.
So on and so under, misdirected in other words.
Always I wonder is there anything I can do for you?
Anything I can do? well I can do anything...
To some, I’ve been singled out, always I take your fall.
To some, same and broken down,
All we’ve left is dropping around you.
- You
I never know
I never care
I never believe my people
I'll tell you what I say
I never lie
I never try
I never cry for you people
