A home for hire
I haven't any money to purchase one but I need a home Old and tired but working Need a good home, you shouldn't be alone You shouldn't be alone (x4) A gift from god A seminal tried to lead a spirit down the darkest mile Words of fear carved in stone You need a good home, you shouldn't be alone A journeys end, send the messenger Let it be known that there is a good home Forget everything that you don't wanna remember Let it be known, Let it be known That there is a good home There is a good home, is a good home Let it be known that you shouldn't be alone You shouldn't be alone (x4) Seal my fate for me inside Its easy to believe its easy to hide Remember every turn that you took to get here Leave me alone, leave me alone To find my home Hasn't he grown, hasn't he grown Leave me alone, to find my home Here's one for ya (x2) |

Night sky looking down,
Its my own. Feel free to fly a plane, but its my own Scratch a symbol in the dirt, for the earth and the sea, saying you can't hurt the night sky. No you can't hurt the night sky, that won't hurt me. I'll take a walk to clear my head, cos some things are better not said, but taken apart, from the inside, instead of the out. You are all my own. You are all my own Invention. Nothing to do with an afternoon, in my home. Any place with a space to breath, and its my home. Every shape and every colour, how I want it to be, living off the same heartbeat, living off the same heartbeat as me. I'll take a walk to clear my head, cos some things are better not said, but taken apart, from the inside, instead of the out. You are all my own. You are all my own. But I don't need expert opinions I don't need signs of the times and when I'm left to myself all those things are left behind. I'll take a walk to clear my head, cos some things are better not said, but taken apart, from the inside, instead of the out. You are all my own You are all my own You are all my own You are all my own Invention |

Party animal or a bird in a cage
mine is a double the spirit of the age money for old rope, the coin spinning round your time is up, your time is down I could read a book, I could watch a film I could spend a day perfectly still A solitary ring on a link in a chain we could look alike but we're not all tame I want it, I want it all the same but I'm learning on the way I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades but I'm learning on the way There's someone here to freeze, it couldn't be A lot of people tease that we were free I fell off my chair, I flew into the air but I didn't land, didn't land nowhere I want it, I want it all the same But I'll learn it on the way I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades But I'll learn it on the way I don't care what they were doing before I don't care what, they could do it again, again I don't even care what they are doing here right now But I'll learn it on the way and the margin's so wide there's a line down the middle straight down the middle a dividing line never, never, never getting anything together never getting anything together one time I want it, I want it all the same But I'll learn it on the way I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades But I'll learn it on the way learning on the way |

Bless its soul, you followed me home
And I didn't want, I didn't want, I didn't want to know But I bet that I keep it, I cannot say no And if it wont go then it wont go and this will be its home Tomorrow I bet that I fall out of bed And the first thing, the first thing, the first thing that's said Is "oh no, not again" Where are all my friends when I need their jokes that I don't get Can't get the energies I need To get a follow up or lead Too much space, too much time, too much sound Can't get the energies I need, the energies I need But the meter is on and the world's going round He gave me that look and then it slung its hook And my whole world, my whole world, my whole world it shook I said "curse your soul, then curse the home of your family, your Friends, even future friends". So Can't get the energies I need To get a follow up or lead Too much space, too much time, too much sound Can't get the energies I need, the energies I need But the meter is on and the world's going round There are traps, you could get snared up Something could flare up and blind you Pass it on to the next one along Pass it up like its something new Can't get the energies I need To get a follow up or lead Too much space, too much time, too much sound Can't get the energies I need, the energies I need But the meter is on and the world's spinning round |

I cannot read minds and its taking its toll I might leave in an ambulance but I will leave in control and they wont recognise me, not one single one of them no they wont see me going or coming back again no they wont see me going or coming back again so shine out a light, then I can see where I'm gonna go and take the chill out of night until the morning helps me out I cannot read minds and nobody will speak its all getting older by the week so swing on a hinge, construct a joint rotate round at fixed points rotating around at fixed points it wasn't right but then the energies work for me they took the chill out of night and let the morning help me out well I cannot read minds so give me a line and I will act it out in real time a fear is warm and cities burn if you cant be fair at least be firm some must leave, others return and everybody's got a lot to learn so shine out a light, then I can see where I'm gonna go and take the chill out of night until the morning helps me out so shine out a light, then I can see where I'm gonna go and take the chill out of night until the morning helps me out |

It's cold out here mother
What you doing to me This isn't my idea of good company It seems like I've heard everything I need to have heard But I still don't understand a word The humour here is dry I don't get the joke I seem to attract the weirdest folk Our minds are of the same kind, They're tired and worn We were born in a strange time to be born Closing up on reasoning Closing up on the middle ground Into the night-time mind and the day-time grind and the finding strength and the first light of morning and before I risk all that to relying on luck I'm closing Closing up, I'm closing up Well I drink another drink But I pace my self If I want a good life I must take care of my health Think about tomorrow Tie up all the loose ends Never forget who are my real friends. Closing up on reasoning Closing up on the middle ground Into the night-time mind and the day-time grind and the finding strength and the first light of morning and before I risk all that to relying on luck I'm closing Closing up, I'm closing up Did you here about the man Who wrote the story of his life On the back of his hand He gotta start his life over again Look round for someone to blame When it all got washed up in the rain He gotta start his life over again Closing up on reasoning Closing up on the middle ground Into the night-time mind and the day-time grind and the finding strength and the first light of morning and before I risk all that to relying on luck I'm closing Closing up, I'm closing up |

Handed it all over
back to my creator I know it appears to be worn and faded but its hardly ever been used I skipped a lot of lessons the landscape passed me over I feared a lot of wasted time I let it all take hold and its rotted me I need a result again my mind has got to take shelter from the hell coming down the warning signs, the warning signs No ulterior motives and no outside interference order in the morning, we're quite disciplined at night so keep me here it seems I've tipped the balance and wired out of sequence there's smoke coming from the motor like the whole things gonna blow so don't you go yet I need a result again my mind has got to take shelter from the hell coming down the warning signs, the warning signs I'll swim in the freezing sea while my friends still pass me like my list of every simple truth that I have learned and if I can make you happy the favour will be instantly returned I need a result again my mind has got to take shelter from the hell coming down the warning signs, the warning signs |

Its strange the way they make you close one eye
Before they let the clearest signal pass you by But I believe everything I read And every line there is its seed But cheap wine and weed is all I need Its strange the way you make me realise Hey stranger we're in danger of becoming wise You don't need that cos you've got me To live in perfect sincerity Its all I really need to be free I didn't choose the path That led me here no no no And I didn't set my sentence they were set for me But I know its words that why alone Until the day you tell me to go I believe what you know It is so If its fine by you Its fine by me If its fine by you Its fine by me If its fine by you Its fine by me If its fine by you Its fine by me |

Cave dweller, cave dweller hide from the pain
So here be well again. And lover of mine to run from the same So here be well again. Plot your disease with lies and with blame, So here be well again. Prison with the sun, washed down by the rain So here be well again. Inside the cages, the beasts they are tame So here be well again. Fed three times daily and kept in the frame So here be well again. Incentive to work and driven insane So here be well again Come don your best clothes, and join the parade So here be well again. Well the water's never been there automatically describing words When the last to begin can be finished the first and when the drink flows but it won't quench the thirst So here be well again. So for another, so for the same So here be well again. This ...? method ..? only ashame So here be well again. Sing to the darkness an awkward refrain So here be well again. The road needs repair and the horse it is lame So here be well again. Did you ever try to work out how life went sour so soon You must have had some idea You were cut from the womb There's excess baggage But there's no storage room So here be well again. |

We follow the leads,
but the clues offer nothing of any So you work and you sleep and you wake and then you've got to wait there for an avalanche to cover you But you know you gotta scream to shake the ice on the side of the mountain free So scream your lungs raw Till you can't do it anymore Then work and sleep and wake and then you've got to wait there for an avalanche to cover you But you know you gotta scream to shake the ice on the side of the mountain free Have you ever thought of children Is the world here a haven? Are the secrets in the walls here that I never had been given I spend half of my lifetime Just trying to work for Jesus I only wish my folks Had told us he didn't really need us. No. But you know you gotta scream to shake the ice on the side of the mountain free |

Weird laws and strangers
Put the fear of god in me I'm building this boat to cross the sea I'm building this boat to cross the sea There's holes in holes in this town Digging it up like its gold The young just dig quicker than the old The young just dig quicker than the old Who's gonna drag them out of the hole they dug in yesterday? The hole they're digging themselves in now? The hole they're digging tomorrow The hole that children'll fall in Who could've thought the people that I like Have so much influence on my mood But now that influence is showing through But now that influence is showing through Who's gonna drag me out of the hole I dug in yesterday? The hole I'm digging myself in now? The hole I'm digging tomorrow The hole that children'll fall in There's holes in holes in this town Digging it up like its gold The young just dig quicker than the old The young just dig quicker than the old |
