Something To Remember
04:28
|
|||
Tell me, did you call a friend
Did you wander back alone
Tell me, does your taste offend
Are you lost and far from home
Have you gone and backed a fool
Or a fool been made of you
Oh no
But there’s some light under the stain
A vision of you at my gate
When you love something you can’t explain
Don’t hold it up to the flame
I will get back to you…
I will, I will get back to you
Tell me, do your curls pretend
Does your smile hold a mirror to the world
Tell me, do those eyes befriend
Does your shirt tell me what to think of you
Have you gone and backed a fool
When nothing said holds true
Oh no
But there’s some light under the stain
A vision of you at my gate
When you love something you can’t explain
Don’t hold it up to the flame
A prison for you when you’re low
Just darkness and its undertow
When you love something then don’t explain it
Just hold it, let it be your flame
Can’t fake away the fear
Your face is always on show
Before this day is over
Give them something to remember this
Give them something to remember you
There’s some light under the stain
A vision of you at my gate
When you love something you can’t explain
Don’t hold it up to the flame
A prison for you when you’re low
Let’s rise above the undertow
You ask me what I can’t explain
If I do then I will only change
I will get back to you
I will
I will get back to you
I will
I will get back to you

What It's All About
03:43
|
|||
You know I’m pretty well tired of walking this road
Yeah I’m wondering what it’s all about
You know I’m pretty well styled
I keep in the mode
But the mode wants to keep me way out
I feel the city drag under my feet
Keeps me beat
And I just want to scream and to shout
I make a little black tea and I pour it inside
But it falls through
I’m all hollowed out
Ooh
And when you break me a smile
Your light is a star
And your star is a light in the sky
But when you break me I cry
Black holes open up
Swallow everything
I don’t know why
When all the light is gone
Certainly not far from home
When all seems quite alone
You’re a light
Lead me home
Lead me on
Ooh
And when I’m feeling inspired
I know I’m required to stop taking the easy way out
And when I’m feeling expired
I sit on my shelf and I talk to old bread and old milk
And when the sun peeks out
I’m peeking about watching spiders wait in their silk
And when the rain comes down
I’m just stuck in a web
With old grey and all of his ilk
When all the light is gone
You’re certainly not far from home
When all seems quite alone
You’re a light
Lead me home
Lead me on
Ooh
(Whistle solo)
What’s it to you if I’m high or low
What’s the difference
Above or below
Surely now the fight is gone
Ooh

The End Of The Road
03:59
|
|||
The day is gone
Your face is long
Caught out by the rhythm and tone
Now you’ve gotta go it alone
You forget all
That you have
‘Cos it feels like the end of the road
And nothing seems to lighten the load
Fall out just to see where you land
Sing into the back of your hand
You know my heart weeps
To have to see you like that
But I can’t help you get out
[Buried down is all that you own]
The day is gone
[Buried down is all that you can’t get over]
Your face is long
[Buried down is all that you know]
Caught out by this feeling that’s grown
Now you’ve gotta go it alone
Fall out just to see where you land
Sing into the back of your hand
You know my heart weeps
To have to see you like that
I keep my own beat
But I can’t keep you on track
You have to go it alone
Say something so I know you’re here
Say something so I know that it’s not over
Say something so I know you’re near
Say something so I know that it’s not all bad
Say something so we can be clear
Say something so we know that it’s not clear at all
[Buried down is all that you own]
The day is done
[Buried down is all that you can’t get over]
But the light’s not gone
[Buried down is all that you know]
‘Cos we’re spinning on a rock in space
And night can never really erase the day
Trace lines to the edge of the known
No wonder that it can feel lonely
You know my heart beats
Just the same as yours
And I can feel our beat
And I can feel it ring out
And if the distance speaks
Then let it sing a song
You’re never really alone

Perfect World
04:31
|

And back to the city
Where I once belonged
Footsteps faded
All traces gone
Floating then
I saw you there
A vision of light
A tower of song
Listen up sunflower
Listen up sweet
I put it on the line
It’s pouring out of me
Somebody somewhere’s dreaming of this
Can you feel it in my hand
Can you hear it in my whisper
You took my hand and there we merged
My face
Your face
Then a whisper heard
Birthed from silence
Although I stirred
You calmed me
With a gentle word
Sing it to the flower
Sing it to the bee
Pour honey in your mind
So you remember me
I wanna tell you secrets that everybody keeps
Listen up sunflower
Listen up sweet
I put it on the line
It’s pouring out of me
Somebody somewhere’s dreaming of this
Floating in a bed
In a house
In a street
Ooh
And as I unfurl
I am the earth’s fire
Deafening to hear
And in a perfect world
You are my desire
Can I draw you near
And every night I lay in my listless state
Poised
Docile
Ever awake
Will we meet in the place of sightless sight
Will you come again to me tonight
Seven ways a door is named
Seven shapes a door can take
This heart is dressed in fire
With love and hate and time and fate
With love and hate and time and fate
With love and hate and time and fate
Ooh
And as I unfurl
I am the earth’s fire
Deafening to hear
And in a perfect world
You are my desire
Can I draw you near
Listen up sunflower
Listen up sweet
I put it on the line
It’s pouring out of me
Somebody somewhere’s dreaming of this
Can you feel it in my hand
Can you hear it in my whisper

Ideal
03:41
|
|||
It’s true
What they say about you
Intoxicate the whole room
Well how the hell do you do
The shake that’s to the malt
‘Moiselle
You shake, shake it well
The vinegar and salt
Mon sel
Do you bite
Pray tell
It’s true
What they say about you
But this is not about proof
This is only a tune
You can push uphill
I’ll follow
You prescribe the pill
I’ll swallow
It’s true
I’m bewildered by you
Beyond the weight of wisdom
Please don’t break me in two
You can push uphill
I’ll follow
You prescribe the pill
I’ll swallow
Guitar solo
You can push uphill
You are my ideal
You prescribe the pill
I’ll swallow
It’s true
What they say about you

All You've Done To Me
03:59
|
|||
Do your worst then
‘Til there’s no coming back
Do your worst then
‘Til I’m straight off the track
Bring your freight train over
Ready or no
Do your worst then
Ooh
Looking at all you’ve done to me
The harder it hits the harder I see
Looking at all you’ve done to me
And I’m ohh…
There is no reality
Where the one eye drips a single tear
There is no reality when I think of you and I feel clear
Oh you sting me
‘Til I can’t get you out
Oh you wring me
‘Til I’m all wrung out
Looking at all you’ve done to me
The harder it hits the harder I see
Looking at all you’ve done to me
And I’m ohh…
In my dreams and in my fears
I’m calling out to you my dear
One is the other that’s what’s clear
And I’m ohh..
There is no reality
Where you and me know honestly
There is no reality
Where we fall in love and it sets you free
There is a polarity
That draws me in and throws me out
Love is a calamity
And I’m holding you
Hold onto me
Looking at all you’ve done to me
The harder it hits the harder I see
Looking at all you’ve done to me
Looking at all our history
Curse your mists and curse your fire
I’m unwavering desire
Honesty not sympathies
‘Cos we’re throwing love to the breeze
Do your worst then
Do your worst then
In my dreams and in my fears
I’m calling out to you my dear
One is the other that’s what’s clear
And I’m ohh..
There is no reality
Where you and me know honestly
There is no reality
Where we fall in love and it sets you free
There is a polarity
That draws me in and throws me out
Love is a calamity
And I’m holding you
Hold onto me

Falling From A Mountain
04:18

Falling from a mountain
Above the world
Falling from a mountain
Just in time
I don’t wanna be saved
I want to float
Falling from a mountain
Falling from a mountain
Above the world
Falling from a mountain
Just in time
I don’t wanna be saved
I’m returning home
Falling from a mountain
To keep my hope

A Ribbon To Hold Us
06:53
|
|||
Meet me
Daydream
We make lovers’ promises
Unseen
Time between
Doubt crumbles our empire
I’m running
And thinking
A ribbon to hold us
I’m waiting
But panicking
The limit is breaking
Meet me
Early
Meet me
Early
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
She lets me wander
Not without impunity
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
Another faceless frown
Missed opportunity
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
She lets me wander
Not without impunity
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
Another faceless frown
Missed opportunity
She is the sky all grey
I am the mist below
Somehow the same
Somehow but not
I guess we’ll never know
She is a smile saved
Another file made
Another question for your question
Now I’ve gotta go
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
She lets me wander
Not without impunity
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
Another faceless frown
Just missed opportunity
She is the sky all grey
I am the mist below
Somehow the same
Somehow but not
I guess we’ll never know
She is a smile saved
Another file made
Another question for your question
Now I’ve gotta go
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
She lets me wander
Not without impunity
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
Another faceless frown
Cursed missed opportunity
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
And so we wander now
Through this futility
She is a part of me
But I’m apart oh ey!
Another crowd of one
No piece of purity
She is the sky all grey
I am the mist below
Somehow the same
Somehow but not
I guess we’ll never know
She is the sky all grey
I am the mist below
Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow
