- A Century Ends
Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all
Find a spirit of resistance
Instead of pride before the fall
Forge some opposition
From disparate strands
It ain't the prettiest position
As a century ends
- A Moment Changes Everything
Come on, come on, come on
come on, come on, come on
The stolen glances, broken threads
The visions looming in our heads
The years spent running parallel
To everything that might of been
No longer possible to hide
- Alibi
Stone blind alibi
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How I long to
Bite any hand that feeds you more
- babylon
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turnin' over TV stations
Situations runnin' through my head
Looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool to open up my heart
- Beautiful Agony
I felt something snap
Looked up and you were gone
Clean through the gap somewhere
That I can’t get to
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
- Birds Without Wings
Wishing that something would happen
A change in this place
'cause I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping
Find an empty package
Take for a while your trumpet from your lip
Loosen your hold, loosen your grip
On your old ways that have fallen out of step
- Coming Down
Tears falling slow.
From the bridge into the river below.
In your eyes I start to see.
A starry veil and the oceans of infinity.
Moon and stars above me.
Mingle with the blood inside my veins.
Empty arms that should be
Holding me close through nights of winter rain.
- Debauchery
Drunken ferry boat woman
Swayin' on your sea
If I turn on the gas fire
By the rain rattled window
Won't you sail over to me
The hail storm tumbles
The rail line rumbles
- december
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away Words don't bother me no more
Black money falling to the floor
Flags out on the balconies
Black money washing to the seas
Oh my mind
What happened to the time
- Disappearing World
Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
- Draw the Line
Well we had to grab on something
So wefre pulling at the threads
And now the worldfs unravelling
Inside our very heads
Glasses smeared with lipstick
Hungry eyes out in the street
Same old bodies moving
To the same old beat
- Falling Down the Mountainside
Without a word
You set your sights to the sun
When all the world
You put your rights are still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve
Spouting all that make-believe
From your lips, it seemed it might come true
- Falling Free
All of my senses overthrown
By the might of your skin
And the lamplight on your cheek bone
Drawing me further in
No sentence I can speak
For the wonder so unique
Breaking like a wave upon the shore
Mercy me, I'm falling free
- Faster, Sooner, Now
Hey now, you got me by the tongue
I feel like there's nowhere I belong
And they're working it pretty hard
And they're selling it by the yard
But it's more than I can afford
That's all that I know
Leader, it comes as no surprise
- First Chance
Like a bird upon release
Through the atmosphere
Like a honking flock of geese
Winter drawing near
As the fabric comes unstitched
Hearts and minds and eyes bewitched
Standing watching for the smoke to clear
- Flesh
As the bell must strike the hour
As the west must stab the sun
So our hearts must heed the flow
Of deeper tides that run
Far beyond this bare indifference
That prosperity esteems
Where the spirit raves and dances
- Forever Is Tomorrow Is Today
Tuesday my heart is brimming
I'm a child in the wild wind
Dead leaves and daylight dimming
No beginning and no end
Inside a candle of defiance
moonlight
A river of pearls
- Forgetting
Crawling then walking
Then running and sweating
Forgetting
Lying and cheating
Aiding and abetting
Forgetting
- Fugitive
Yeah yeah
Is the answer none of the above
Crouched in a whole like a mud-streaked fugitive
And everyday a different version of
Pourin it away like a water through a sieve
Hey better realize my friend
- Gathering Dust
I got no reason
But that I must
Maybe I feel
Like I've been gatherin' dust
I must leave this harbor for the sea
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
But I don't know where I'm wanting to be
I just know I have to be there alone
- Hold On To Nothing
Hold on to nothing
Hold on to coldest steel
It chills you down inside
When you see just what is real
Paste it up and tear it down
Move it on along the rushing road
Seventeen Fahrenheit
Feel the winter grow
- Hospital Food
Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin' around
Is wearing me out
So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
- It's All Over
In the bitter violent night
The stars wear sour grins
In the vastness of the black sky
I'm cradled in your arms
Unbridled by alarm
'cause I know the end is nigh
It's all over bar the shoutin'
- It's not easy to be me
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
- Kathleen
Lay down my head by the wayside
My worn out shoes
Quite why she went I can’t decide
Yeah but I sure could use
One plate of food steaming and hot
Clean linen ironed
On a fresh made bed but I ain’t got
One salty dime
- L's Song
I love your nervous fingers
Won't you fumble all night long
But in the morning they are stingers
To rise and stumble on
Down the crooked pavement
The wind rolls my thoughts like a leaf
The brill bell chimes
And fortune smiles with its broken teeth
- Last summer минус
Baby, make like we did last summer
Baby, make like we did last year
Dived, plunged into your eyes
Living every hour like a century
There will I always be
Want it, not till it’s good and ready
- Late Night Radio
Oh Mary Jane
She step on a train
Head for the city lights
Yearning inside
To swim with the tide
And taste it, alright
Bag on her shoulder
Breathing the cold
- Lead Me Upstairs
I care little for my body she said
I couldn't care less about my soul
And as she led me upstairs in whispers
My whole summer turned cold
I'll lead you upstairs
I'll lead you upstairs
If you've got no worries
- Long Black Veil
Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed
That the slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
- My Oh My
What on earth is going on in my heart
Has it turned as cold as stone
Seems these days i don't feel anything
Unless it cuts me right down to the bone
What on earth is going on in my heart
Cause my oh my you know it just don't stop
Its in my mind i want to tear it up
- Nemesis
'Neath an avalanche - soft as moss
I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
If I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
I'm the manta ray - I'm the louse
I am a photograph they found in your burned out house
- Nightblindness
A million to one outsiders
Night blindness
Can't see
Your bright eyes are what
The time is
Twenty-five past eternity
Here listening
To the silence
- Nos Da Cariad
One lifetime is long enough
Is long enough to wait
The rain like silver in my ears
Fat nothing on my plate
A bucketful of Babylon
A belly full of hate
Go to sleep my one true love
And may your dreams be sweet
- Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The road I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
- One With The Birds
leave me alone is all that I say
when I have nothing in me to give away
a purple martin in her house, she hollers at me
why be inhuman ? why be like me ?
chorus:
like so many robins, like so many doves
like so many lovebirds with so many loves
- Only The Lonely
I'm raising up my voice
To the walls and to the sky
It seeks no explanation
It waits for no reply
Really it is nothing
Just a cry to the wilds
I'm delirious with chaos
- Please Forgive Me
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Help me out here
- Red Moon
Weighing that silver
There with your hands
In no position to make demands
Got what you wanted
Oh very nice
But every kiss must have a price
I'm getting tired of
- Sail away
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Crazy skies all wild above me now
- Say Hello, Wave Goodbye
Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain
Here was a kind of so-so love
And I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year
You were the owner of the lost and found
And not for me, I feel
Take your hands off me, hey
- Sell, Sell, Sell
I beg to differ
To break the chain
To draw a line right through
Tomorrow
And cancel every claim
I've seen reflections
Beneath my skin
And drums beating for battle
- Shine
I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true
That our love it has faded
Like the summer run through
So we'll walk down the shoreline
One last time together
Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts Like a feather
But who knows what's waiting
- Slow Motion
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Did I imagine they held us hypnotized
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
- The One I Love
Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
‘cross the falling dark
- The Other Side
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I’ll see you on the other side
See you on the other side
Honey now if I’m honest
I still don’t know what love is
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled
- This Years Love
This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own, too long
When you hold me like you do
It feels so right, oh now
Start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feelin' like I can't go on.
- Tidal Wave
Ever since your fingertips
Ever since your eyes
Talking with the light on
Bluer skies
Even if I wanted to
How could I explain
Coming through my head now
- White Ladder
White ladder
Water and wine
Forever
Crying oh time
Don't wanna
Feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to love
This sweet love
- Wisdom
Time no good
Wisdom no good
Patience no good
To me any more
Now night has fallen on the stair
Some things you do you can never repair
- такая чисто, слушаешь и тащишься
This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own, too long
When you hold me like you do
It feels so right, oh now
Start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feelin' like I can't go on.
