Baby Disappear
02:28
|
|||
You write a letter
You put it on the wall
To say you never wanted
To be here at all
The passersby don't like your point of view
Oh baby disappear
Oh baby disappear from view
You had a dark night
It took away your soul
You paid your penance
Her name was Mary Lou
The cutter thought you never would come through
Oh baby disappear
Oh baby disappear from view
Just duck under the highway
Just leap into a drain
Just sneak into the back room and
Trash the poker game
The prosecution
Said you're the one to blame
You signed the deal
And the devil staked his claim
That big mouth Lucifer knows what's bad for you
So baby disappear
Oh babe just disappear from view
Just ride into the sunset
Climb up on the back of the train
Maybe the rain man
Won't touch your back again
You scrawl a note
The ink will never dry
Because your blood
Can't coagulate a lie
But with some luck you might hide your whole life through
Oh BABY DISAPPEAR
Sweet orphan disappear
Baby just disappear
Just disappear from view.

Crystal Ball
04:01
|
|||
Your face is next to the last one
A blank space next to the next one
The future brings our past in focus
But any more than that is hocus pocus
We're rigged to cry and triggered to explode
So why be surprised when we shoot off road?
The ship's got a tonne of containers to off-load
That's why we're going nowhere fast
The disco light's too bright to see when we'll fall
Time is too tight to know what the future holds
But one thing i know is before we walk we crawl
To see that i don't need no crystal ball
I tried to buy the future yesterday
But without a gold standard I just couldn't pay
I tried to make up the slack with a bowlful of love
But you'd already had enough of me
Yes, you'd already had enough of me
The shards are reflecting every cut i caused
The light hits every face dancing on the floor
But I know you don't need me at all
To see that you don't need no crystal ball
You don't need no crystal ball
The disco light's too bright to see when we'll fall
Time is too tight to know what the future holds
But one thing i know is before we walk we crawl
To see that i don't need no crystal ball

Ghost Of A Girl
03:31
|
|||
Shadows on my bed
The feel of the sheets are in my head
And the open doors are closed instead
Nowhere to go
Records of the dead
Weird noises under the bed
Laughter and tears in the kitchen
All gone now
You still talk to me
When I close my eyes
You still talk to me
Why won't you leave me alone?
It's just the ghost of you girl
Following me around
It's just the ghost of you with me
Now
I feel something close to me
But when I turn round to see
There´s nothing there
I'm all alone
Reflections talk to me
And the rays of the sun catch my eye
And I pause before I reply
In conversation
And what's near is now far away
And each face in the tiles tells me no way
Her face will never return
All gone now
You still talk to me
When I close my eyes
You still talk to me
Why won't you leave me alone?
It's just the ghost of you girl
Following me around
It's just the ghost of you with me
Now
I feel something close to me
But when I turn round to see
There´s nothing there
I'm all alone
But that´s what I have
Always known
You're all in my head
You're all in my head
And I'll have to quit the show
If I want to let you go
Records of the dead
Weird noises under the bed
Laughter and tears in the kitchen
All gone now....

Alone
04:29
|
|||
Today you need a hard case just to protect your broken heart
So you can lock it down tight, press the latches, pull it hard
So you can grind your teeth like Cassius Clay, I know I know it's hard
Put your gloves up, put your head down, rumble through to the last yard
I tried to bury the hatchet, but my head was attached to it
I think my head's still bleeding and my eyesight a growing dim
You fetched your pipe and sword and all the rest you didn't need
So you could cut to the chase and win the race and win the seed
But
You do to have to misunderstand it
You don't have to grin and groan
You don't have to blow a gasket
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to be alone
Sometimes we get crazy, sometimes we just get tired
Sometimes I want to shoot me, sometimes I just want to get fired
Right now I can't even count the times I've been a happy man
Can I substitute my constitution for one with a master plan?
CH
You're creeping up the stairs
Cos you know he's all alone
But when you break into the closet
You'll find he's already gone
Through the coats and down the drain
To a land called "You'll never know."
But why would you want to know?
Why would you want to know?
CH
Sometimes I wake and I don't know where I've been
And just for one moment I forget that I am me
Yeah, just for one great moment, I am no longer get me
I am free

Little Thing
04:32
|
|||
Little thing what you doing round here
Little thing it’s the wrong time of year
To be on the run
To be on the run
To be on the run
Little thing don't give in to the fear
Little thing the answers not down here
It's under our sun
It's under our sun
It's under our sun
Give love
Give love away
Riches
Come with faith
Little thing why you looking so scared
Don't you know fear is all in the head?
Flip it into love
Flip it into love
Flip it into love
Give it
All away
Riches
Come with faith
There are no reruns
Thus is the only one
There are a thousand suns
But we have only one
You've got to love it
You've got to grow it
Give your
Love away
Life will
Pave your way
Just fly
Just fly
Away

Revolution
04:00
|
|||
The desert bakes
The tanks rumble
I've got his shadow
In my sights
The ground shakes
The city crumbles
There's nothing left for us to rescue
I don't want to be
In your revolution
It don't taste sweet to me
Anymore
I just can't see
The light you told me about
There's no electricity
Anymore
I try to find
You're body in the rubble
Because I still
Want to believe what you said
If you're in heaven
Just give me a signal
But I don't think
I'll be getting a tweet from you
So,
I don't want to be
In your revolution
It don't taste sweet to me
Anymore
I just can't see
The light you told me about
There's no electricity
Anymore
We had all these stories told to us
About the war
And what never happened
I try to find
A new reason
To carry on
that doesn't involve you
Everybody shakes
Everything crumbles
There's nothing left for you to take back
tonight
I don't want to be
In your revolution
It don't taste sweet to me
Anymore
I just can't see
The light you told me about
There's no electricity
Anymore (x2)

Septembered
03:44
|
|||
Green turns to gold
Everyone looks old
Maybe they're tired
Of hurting again
Warm turns to cold
The brave and the bold
Are the only ones
To face it all again
My leaves are turning brown
They're falling to the ground
I've been Septembered
Septembered again
Day turns to night
I don't think I can fight
I've been Septembered
Septembered again
I think I knew you once
When the summer warmed our blood
Our pulses racing
Our visions were the same
But it all turned to dust
And the mist mystified our trust
That's why we're standing
In two worlds under the same rain
And
My leaves are turning brown
They're falling to the ground
I've been Septembered
Septembered again
And
Day turns to night
I don't think that I can fight
I've been Septembered
Septembered again
(Instrumental Bridge)
Young turns to old
Like a story I was told
But unlike that tale
I'm all alone again
Bodies turn to souls
And memories die untold
Cos it's September
September again
September again

Soothe My Soul
04:06
|
|||
I sat myself down by the river
Watched the raindrops disappear
Heard a rustling in the branches
Heard your birdsong in my ear
I know I'm just a regular sinner
But I can only come from where I've been
And after seeing how you left us
I know none of us –
are evergreen
Come and soothe my soul
Make me calm and whole
Move me with your rock and roll
Yeah daddy soothe my soul
Come and soothe my soul
Make me fly with the birds who sang to you
Make me calm and whole
Yeah daddy soothe my soul
I smelled the smoke coming out of the doorway
I felt a wind blowing down the highway
A kind of warmth was calling my way
Through the frost and through the cold
Now I hear you from the branches
Whispering, “Leave no stone unturned.”
I turn my face towards the street
I feel complete -
I no longer feel so old
Come and soothe my soul
Make me calm and whole
Move me with your rock and roll
Yeah daddy soothe my soul
Come and soothe my soul
Make me fly with the birds who sang to you
Make me calm and whole
Yeah daddy soothe my soul
And I can hear your songs
In every field and floating highway
In every bitter twist in every bad day
Taking out the thorn
Come soothe my soul....
Soothing
Oh soothing
Oh soothe me

Suicide Spin
03:10
|
|||
My eyes are wide open
I can feel you on my skin
A cold wind blowing
Won't anybody let me in?
Oh it's a sin
I ran away and I can't get back in
It's a suicide spin
The spin that I'm in
A suicide spin
I won't survive the night tonight
It's time for a party
Let's break out the beer
It's time for corruption
Cos everybody's here
It's time for the doormen
To make it clear
You won't be paying out tonight
Oh it's a sin
I ran away and I can't get back in
It's a suicide spin
The spin that I'm in
A suicide spin
I won't survive the night tonight
You've always known how to move me
Soothe me
And tell me what I'm thinking is wrong
You've always been two floors above me
Watching me
No need for wiretaps on my phone
(instrumental)
It's time for a party
Let's break out the beer
It's time for corruption
Cos everybody's here
It's time for the facts
To become unclear
Yes we´re burning in a fire of lies
(Oh it's a sin
I ran away and I can't get back in
It's a suicide spin
The spin that I'm in
A suicide spin
I won't survive the night tonight)
Tear gas is falling all around me
Smothering me
But we've got to get on with the show
Your dirty tricks make it a party
Your killing me
But that´s the way it goes....

The Last Subway Back
03:47
|
|||
Rocking horse melody
Between the felonies
Trying to get back the cup
Timing it right
Might be a challenge tonight
Making out or making the sub
Dark or light
Must do it right
Or It'll come back to you
Should I take
The last subway back?
Well baby it's up to you
Ideas are circling
Outside the outskirts
These ideas are made for two
Taking a train
Of bad thoughts again
All roads lead to we two
Dark or light
I'll try not to bite
Baby I'll come back to you
Should I take
Take the last subway back?
Well baby it's up to you
There's always another train to jump on
But right now this feels like the only one
Day and night
Doing things right
Coming and going with you
Don't make me take
The last subway back
Well baby, your move
