I came to see you in the morning sunshine
Salt water dripping from your hair Ten-thousand leagues of love and sheer devotion That bubbled under breathes for air I'd like to see you crawling from the shadows I'd like to see you colouring the air The darkest hour comes before the sunrise The darkest hour comes before the sun Command a son and thou shalt have refusal You sold the honey to buy coal And ever squirrel shares a pearl of wisdom Higher the tree the greater the fall I'd like to see you crawling from the shadows I'd like to see you colouring the air The darkest hour comes before the sunrise The darkest hour comes before the sun Babababababa " " " I'd like to see you crawling from the shadows I'd like to see you colouring the air The darkest hour comes before the sunrise The darkest hour comes before the sun |

I took a ride on your fingertips
Heaven high with the thrill of it And in your eyes for a moment It's like we never said Goodbye We took a walk for the hell of it And we talked through the thick of it And in your eyes for a moment It's like we never said Goodbye But something went wrong You never came home And time takes so long What are these tears we're crying? 'Cos I remember the open roads Met at the corner where no one goes And no one mattered at all And I remember the driving rain Soaked to the skin these were perfect days And I remember it all 'Friends' is such a horrid word I sit at home with the thing we learned You didn't phone And in a different world We'd have never said Goodbye Where are we going with feeling alone? We'll never know What are these tears we're crying? And I remember the open roads Met at the corner where no one goes And no one mattered at all I remember the driving rain Soaked to the skin these were perfect days And I remember it all And as for then and as for now As for who and as for how There's just one thing I can't forget How beautiful How beautiful you are Hold onto dreams and to memories They're the only things that really exist And in your eyes I remembered That we never said Never said goodbye |

Hush little baby don't you cry
You know your mama was born to die All my trials lord will soon be over The river of Jordan runs muddy and cold You know it chills the body but not the soul All my trials lord soon be over Too late, too late my brother But never mind, all my trials lord, soon be over I've a little book with pages three And every page spells liberty All my trials lord soon be over There grows a tree in paradise And the pilgrims call it the tree of life All my trials lord, soon be over If living were a thing that money could buy You know the rich would live and the poor would die All my trials lord, soon be over Too late, too late my brother But never mind, all my trials lord, soon be over |

Been crying a little
Been caught in the middle It’s something you’d hate to admit to But you are the only one Who can show you’ve been sad and lonely She shouldn’t have said it You shouldn’t have done it And after all is said and done We are the only ones who can Start where we want to start Come lie with me sir Come lie with me Make good with love It’s better than envy You say you regret it Now learn to forget it There’s so much more to dwell on And we are the only ones who can Know where we want to go Come lie with me sir Come lie with me Make good with love It’s better than envy Oh I’m soft in the middle Still hurting a little All I wanted was for you To lay in my arms arms And show me what good Lovin’ can do So kiss me goodnight I’m suddenly suddenly tired Let the sun go down on me and you, we’ve got the time And truth be told I’ve been sad and lonely, I’ve been sad and lonely too |

Maybe you're right baby all along Baby just go and set yourself free But if you're, if you're looking for love Come see about me Maybe you've gone back on the road again Walk past my door and know you've got a friend Well I hope you find what you've been looking for But if you're, if you're looking for love Come see about me And if your chasing your tail Don't pay it no mind Ain't got no, particular place No particular plan..... My fairweather friend you're welcome anytime That smile of yours can cross a thousand miles I know you live to learn and learnin' suits you fine But if you're, if you're looking for love Come see about me Cry baby cry until tomorrow Heaven knows when you'll be back again Cry baby cry until tomorrow Heaven knows if you'll be back again Baby, baby, baby, get back on the road again Walk past my door and know you've got a friend Baby just go and set yourself free But if you're,if you're looking for love Come see about me If you're,if you're looking for love Come see about me |

Rain fell it called off play
We ran for shelter Laughing at the stormy weather Jack sang bread of heaven And I thought of you One sweet day finally we'll trace each other Shine a little light together Till that day I hear you though you're faraway I'll walk the earth to find you And wrap my arms around you And sing the sweetest songs for you In all good time we'll come across a mountain haven Build a house and home and settle Plant some crops and pray they'll grow for me and you Whose to say we might wander in the trees And shimmer under canopies of autumns Rich kaleidoscope of gold and ruby I'll walk the earth to find you And wrap my arms around you And sing the sweetest words for you And as for stormy weather We'll be so good together I've got to find my way to you Here and now, the rains still falling steadily The damp is crawling up to me and Jacks is singing all your favourite melodies Soon enough I fall into an easy sleep Now no-one move and no-one speak Let the moonlight carry from me from here to you I'll walk the earth to find you Wrap my arms around you And sing the sweetest songs for you And as for stormy weather We'll be so good together I've got to find a way to you |

Drop an anchor for a while We'll share some company We're the same you and me It's in the air that we breathe And there's no shame Wide is the ocean Sweet Gravity And beneath the evening sun If there's work to be done I shall not falter Swell shell ease Swell she'll rise I'll take my seat there by your side You won me over Wide is the ocean, I long to follow, Sweet Gravity For every reason a purpose begins A time and a place for everything The sun will not burn you The moon will not roam Wide is the Ocean, i long to follow, Sweet Gravity |

We stopped for coffee in the redwood forest
Giant dripping leaves spoons of powdered cream I wanted to kiss you but I wasn't sure how Like those Indians lost in the rainforest Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went They had had all forgotten how to light a fire That's why people od on pills And jump from the golden gate bridge Anything to feel weightless again Those poor lost Indians when the white men found them Most died of TB the rest went insane In our motel room you were drinking slice and gin Reading Moby Dick on the other bed Remember the first time we slept together You said it felt like when you learn to float That's why people OD on pills And jump from the golden gate bridge Anything to feel weightless again |

You always hear the shouts
from my battalion And send toy soldiers out to help me stand And when I see you hide behind these curtain folds I cross the room to turn the lights down low On common ground we'll build our castle walls We'll build them stone by stone and how With more and more you know it won't take long Where it burned orange let it burn gold I wouldn't like to learn a lesson everyday Godd times, bad times, it's just the price you pay But given half the chance of turning back the tide I'll stay at home and keep my boys in line On common ground we'll build our castle walls We'll build them stone by stone and how With more and more you know it won't take long Where it burned orange let it burn gold And given half the chance To turn the hands of time I'm always the bridesmaid Couldn't live with myself if I tried to be the bride On common ground we'll build our castle walls We'll build them stone by stone and how With more and more you know it won't take long Where it burned orange let it burn gold |

I never feared the rain
Until you turned to me And said you'd failed again It makes a perfect day so lame And leads us halfway To nowhere... And so the players Have changed Soon we'll memorise the names But somehow something's Never quite the same Still we'll stake a claim You can count us in again Cos' everyone's a winner baby Hedge your bets Get set and maybe We could be the first To cross the line... Get up, get set, get ready Get high, get low, get even Cos' we're living In inimitable style Chasing the ultimate prize... You'd make a fine millionaire It's only natural to celebrate But someone's got to Be there to pay And we never get there... So take some time on our own We burn enough alone Close but still not fully grown Pulling marrow from a bone But there's no turning back So count us in again... Cos' everyone's a winner baby Hedge your bets Get set and maybe We could be the first To cross the line... Get up, get set, get ready Get high, get low, get even Cos' we're living In inimitable style Chasing the ultimate prize... Going back to the old house The Marigolds just go to show That some of us should Never have left home But see I'm still counting Another flash in the pan A quick and instant forming tan It seems to grow on me Taking inches from a mile But I'm all for throwing It on the line... |

She would hide at the park and ride Glued up to the gills High tar cigarettes and sex An appetite for pills She's a shell of her former self Bad natured on the shelf And the honeymoon's wearing thin It's a sign of the state we're in... A stolen heart Broken apart Song for the beautiful loser... Sweet sixteen A kiss too far Song sounds blue... She was glad when her dad Got locked out for good Teaching her love by lashing out With anything he could... She's a shell of her former self By nature left on the shelf And the honeymoon's wearing thin It's a sign of the state we're in... She would hide at the park and ride Glued up to the gills Cigarettes and easy sex on a Belly load of pills...

You keep playing the Same tired old blues songs Over the same tired Old blues chords Put those songs to sleep They don't make me Weep anymore...

From London to Lisbon
And all points between Find people to lean on And one man to please We all need someone We all need something We all need?.. I'm lustless, lifeless The scent of my skin It means nothing without you That?s where it begins We all need someone We all need something We all need?.. we all need?. Get out for your sakes Do you want it? No promises are spoken Take it or leave it, do you like it? And no man?s heart gets broken One day to another I'm head over heels One room to another It sets the same scene We all need someone We all need something We all need?.. we all need?. Every man for himself Just for a little while Every man for himself Just for a short while You could came around We could fool around and get down It?s the way it could be Oh, from London to Lisbon I?m head over heels Take it or leave it Just come as you please We all need Someone, somewhere, somehow |

You always hear the shouts
from my battalion And send toy soldiers out to help me stand And when I see you hide behind these curtain folds I cross the room to turn the lights down low On common ground we'll build our castle walls We'll build them stone by stone and how With more and more you know it won't take long Where it burned orange let it burn gold I wouldn't like to learn a lesson everyday Godd times, bad times, it's just the price you pay But given half the chance of turning back the tide I'll stay at home and keep my boys in line On common ground we'll build our castle walls We'll build them stone by stone and how With more and more you know it won't take long Where it burned orange let it burn gold And given half the chance To turn the hands of time I'm always the bridesmaid Couldn't live with myself if I tried to be the bride On common ground we'll build our castle walls We'll build them stone by stone and how With more and more you know it won't take long Where it burned orange let it burn gold |

Did you find that some
Autumn day Your life was in disarray Forlorn for good? Did you do what your parents done? Find some mad equilibrium Now I can say honestly You're a masculine travesty For-warned is for-armed Your purple patch came and went All those love letters never sent He was the mother of misogyny, mother of Mother of m-i-s-o-g-y-n-y, misogyny Mother of, mother of misogyny, misogyny You're so much a part of me It's life's greatest tragedy Unarmed and undone Still you do what you always done Find some mild equilibrium He was the mother of misogyny, mother of Mother of m-i-s-o-g-y-n-y, misogyny Mother of, mother of misogyny, misogyny |

It's what's not there that makes
What's there what it is It's what's not there that makes What's there what it is... Seems like we're quite In demand More faint praise Well I'll be damned Ship's run aground on the rocks Not all that unorthodox... It's what's not there that makes What's there what it is... Fate cuts her cloth Ragged mean You miss the ceremony He sleeps, she wakes Then she tires Leave us to our frying pan And fires... It's what's not there that makes What's there what it is... It's sculpture, sculpture Feed me to the vultures It's what's not there that makes What's there what it is.. |

I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be And you an dance if you want to Show appreciation But step up to the mic for the full sensation And you can dance And you can dance And you can dance And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la |

He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars, Do you believe this bullshit? Tell me you don't want to face this situation any more than I do Oh you think you're so great, keep it up at this rate, You're bound to catch it if you wait. I've seen the symptoms before, they come as they please, Here comes the low rent man again, He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars Will you believe this bullshit? Tell me you don't want to face this situation any more than I do. So what does he have in store; does he need you to bleed? Inadequate in all he breathes, He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars, Will you believe this bullshit? If you don't want to face this situation any more then I don't. |

Forgive me if I seem
To be impatient and obscene It's just I'd like to fall so flat And hear the voices shouting back Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show As orange buffoons dance They booked a fakir in advance Left purple jungles in a trance To raise their nepotistic chance Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show She should have waited, she should have waited before the show The TV show . . . the TV show The TV show . . . the TV show (La la la la la la) So you want to be a star? Tell the monkey where you are, Mimic monkey media (the TV show . . . the TV show) Did you fly into a rage? Did you lust for centre stage? Mimic monkey media (the TV show . . . the TV show) Did you yearn to leave your mark? Did you swear that you'd go far? Mimic monkey media (the TV show . . . the TV show) If you want to be a star Tell the monkey where you are Mimic monkey media (the TV show . . . the TV show) La la la la la la la la la la la la |

But she only came to gloat
It stuck right there in my throat How she loved to turn the screw And leave you feel indebted to her fantasies and views So surprised you saw it through Couldn’t help but notice Couldn’t help but notice You’d covered all means of escape Found the other people’s parties second rate It ain’t easy It ain’t easy It ain’t easy Reduced a listener to a tear Forgetting what had brought him here Undoing everything he’d known Left him wake up in the morning on his own It’s how you leave no time to breathe It’s how you leave no time to breathe All is not all that it seems Thought the rest was just a breeze Till you remind me of my inadequacies It ain’t easy It ain’t easy It ain’t It ain’t easy It ain’t easy It ain’t easy E It’s infantile, it’s in your smile, here’s my sign you’ll soon be mine It’s infantile, it’s in your smile, here’s my sign you’ll soon be mine It’s infantile, it’s in your smile, here’s my sign you’ll soon be mine La la la la la ....

LOST CAT - Catatonia
Lost cat in Arthur Street, black and white If you go, I'll come without a fiiiiiiight I'm sick of hearing damning words of you come cursing through my head And I'm too proud to sit here,chasing time, wasting things we shared, Or thought we had. You said, I'm you digging a home Truth is, you left a long time agoooooooo But you can turn it on and play the innocent, though you've been caught. And I'm too proud to sit here, saying everything is how it was. Never been this sure. Take it from where you want to grow, there's always tomorrow. I'd rather have you smile than have you fall, no matter where you go. Ten men in trial of love succeed All those in Arthur Street will walk freeee. And you can turn it on and play at anything you ever wanted to. Cos you're not dull and I'm not strong enough to carry on wondering How we're gonna see this through. |

Fly, you greatest fool,
Why can’t you say what they want you to? Why can’t you say what they want you to? Why can’t you do what they taught you And show what they wanted of you? Fly, you greatest fool, Is this what everyone talked about? You spill your high-flung phrases And hush when the risk gets too much And I, I wish you would do it, Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt. Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt. Is this what everyone talked about? Swallow everything that suits, dress it up as truth, Swallow it all down And I, I wish you would do it, Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt. And I, I wish you would do it, Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt. Then I’d never have to notice if the bridges are burnt. So cold out here . . . |

Mickey wishes he was dead, draws the sheet across his head Never felt so alive Moved him in to share the bed, turns out he's sharing her instead Was it all worthwhile? Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in Don't want you to go, just need you to know Can't leave the house: he wouldn't dare, hang this guilty frame with stares Naked in a fray I'll be the shortest person there, oh God I'm losing all my hair It won't suit my style Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in I don't want you to go, I just need you to know I don't want you to go, I just need you to know Do do do aa-aa-aa-aa-aah She gave me nothing that I could bear to lose aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-ah And if he reaches for the door, be sure he'll touch the wood and pause Ask me back for more We'll still shove us down the stairs, still get in each other's hair If there's any left then Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in I don't want you to go, I just need you to know I don't want you to go, I just need you to know Did you want him to go? did you push him to go where the ~~ girl lies Where does the ~~ girl lie? why does she hide? why does she hide . . ?

SWEET CATATONIA - Catatonia
Chance dreams that cut across the bed, leaving colours there instead See lines that draw it to an end - ignore them And if I say how I feel again, is it wise to do it? Or like hearing for the umpteenth time, some despise Don't you fall asleep there's lots of things I need to say that just won't keep Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah) Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah) And with my fears in the back of my mind, will they gang up on me? And when I least expect them to they'll devour me Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to hide Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah) Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah) Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to hide Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah) Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah) Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah) (And with my fears in the back of my mind, will they gang up on me?)

I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together Then realised those he lied to were cleverer Left on the side they have long since rejoined him Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down 2nd verse (chords as above) This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything 2nd Chorus 'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves' |

If i head left It turns out directionless And needle point aside I always find Embroidery leaves me blind Cos i'm too weary to rest Since i noticed Coming second best is close to ideal What fools boredom breeds So much to do So many goldfish to feed And paracetamol I take them all They line my stomach wall With customary thirst I search a water glass But gin hits first Oh don't believe the hype Expectancy will always spoil a party It's tourniquet by crochet My waters break Don't drive for pity's sake Cos i'm too weary to rest Since i noticed Coming second best Is close to ideal |

I don't know Where it is I'm going. I'm growing. Somebody swapped the signs From nursery rhymes And my undress is showing, I'm growing. Oh, oh, oh.... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is.... Repeat and ad words: Stale tea and stained cigarettes. I don't wanna die like this. I sit down and I see stars. Measure me now for my grandfather clock. Crash computers and midi files Fate dilemma to the juveniles. (?) Oh, oh, oh.... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is... This is all there is.... Oh, for the life of me, I don't know Where it is I'm going. I'm growing. You'll be the death of me Can't you see? Give back what you're owing I stop growing. |
