- 40 days
Forty days and I miss you
I'm so high that I've lost my mind
It's the summer I'm thinking of
Forty days and I'm blown away
If I saw something new
I guess I wouldn't worry
If I saw something new
I guess I wouldn't care
- Alison
Listen close, and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed-up world will thrill me
Alison, I'm lost
- digging shelters
Computer, what’s the point in this? You do all the thinking where we - Just digging shelters in the snow - Build a house of dream and domino
I know it’s fallen down Got my headphones on and I won’t hear a sound No it’s all broke down Eyes out on the road but no-one comes along, when you want them to
Let your hair hang long Yeah that old north wind is blowing through these cracked up ports
And you won’t feel so strong Voices on the street, yeah it’s closing time, again
Computer, what’s the point in this? You do all the thinking where we - Just building shelters in the snow - Build a house of dream and domino
I know it’s fallen down Got my headphones on and I won’t hear a sound Yeah it’s all broke down Eyes out on the road but no-one comes along, when you want them to
- Full Moon Rising
Tell me, is a full moon rising
Big and brown in the horizon
Are you feeling strange?
Butterfly falling.
Thought that I would be so easy
Pay our debts and now we're leaving
Closing your eyes, your momma's eyes...
- High Hopes
Did I hear you say you need someone to talk to
And you want to have someone to hold you close
You've got high hopes for someone good and strong
Someone good to hold you close
I wish that I could be the one you want, girl
I wish that I could be the one that's strong
But you're high hopes are better saved
- Home For The Season
Guess I'm home for the season
Got no reason just thinking about you
Staying alone there's nothing to do
Just want to talk and I wondered if you're home
Past is a different person to me
See all these shadows walking with me
And Christmas, my sister, do you see me?
- Little Twig
I’m counting all the steps right back to you
Little twig, you are a fig
Ment of me
Or is it you
Your bicycle makes trouble for us all
Got no brakes
You got the shakes
- No Mercy For The Muse
Shabby boy?s kept you up all night
Oh, sentimental drinkers
Sing songs that end in fights about fights
And they'll swear to you
That they just can't help it
Know that poem in their head
That painting of your bed, it must out
- Paint a Face
Try to get the colours right
And I’ll paint you face she said
Cos life is on the outside babe
And you got to try and get it right
Buy a ten-dollar camera
take a picture of everyone
Cos people change
- Phantasmagoria in Two
If a fiddler played you a song, my love
If I gave you a wheel
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
Would you spin for my love
If I gave up all of my pride for you
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
- Queen Bee
Did you see her running down the hill
Away from love, away from me?
Oh Queen Marie, you always were the one
Who had the time to say no
What did you say? Hey, hey, girl
What did you say? Hey, hey, girl
What did you say? Hey, hey, girl
- See You On Rooftops
See you on rooftops
with blue jeans and stars in your hair
Drew you in lamplight
you built you somewhere in my heart
I bought you a kite now,
you fly when the moon is so high
- Two Stones In My Pocket
Baby crossed an ocean just to see what she could see
Half the world beneath her feet, a rose between her teeth
Spent her lifetime loving, spent her lifetime living fine
But since you broke her heart, yeah, she needs a little time
A little time, a little time
Before we were old mem'ries and I guessed that we'd be fine
Shooting stars still break her heart and sunsets make her cry
