1.A Different Place
We sat under London skies on
A perfect June day.
I touched her hand
And whispered our names.
And all of the birds flew by and
The clouds blow away
The rose oil in her hair
And her infinite craze.
These are the thoughts
That take me
To a different place.
There are the words
That take me
To a different place.
And I gave her
A rose from my garden
And the petals
Blow away.
They look like confetti On her
Beautiful face.
These are the thoughts
That take me
To a different place.
There are the words
That take me
To a different place.
These are the thoughts
That take me
To a different place.
There are the words
That take me
To a different place.
2.The Empress
Didn't I try To love her？
Didn't I paint Pictures of her？
Didn't I try To change？
I shouldn't have bothered.
Didn't I buy The ocean for her？
Didn't I wear The colour
Didn't I feel The wind？
Didn't I bleed？
She is strange
And sorrow.
She is Like cherry blossom.
She is The Empress.
Didn't I kneel Before her？
Didn't I follow Her orders？
Didn't I clean Her shit？
Didn't I fall？
Didn't I climb The ladder？
Didn't I smile For the cameras？
Didn't I feel The wind？
Didn't I bleed
She is strange And sorrow.
She is Like cherry blossom.
She is The Empress.
She is strange And sorrow.
With lips Like cherry blossom.
She is The Empress.
3.Clowns
Take a look at us
Hate where there was lust
The trip like honey
But lust don't mean a thing
When all we do is shout and scream
It's almost funny
We're like clowns
Tumbled into town now
Love is on its way down now
It's such a lonely sound
Mouths that once exchanged
Kisses in the rain
Are full of pain now
It all seems so absurd
When every sentence and every word
Is so painful
Clowns
Tumbled into town now
Love is on its way down now
Such a lonely sound
Clowns
Faces with painted frowns now
Sat on a merry-go-round now
Such a lonely sound
Such a lonely sound
Such a lonely sound
Such a lonely sound
Such a lonely sound
Such a lonely sound
Such a lonely sound
4.Chinese Whispers
Don't tap against my window.
Don't listen at my wall.
Don't ask for information.
As the answer's always so.
Collect me From the station.
The blank departure Board.
We'll talk in Chinese whispers.
While the snow Begins to fall
Painting Easter With the cold
I don't need you
But I want you.
I don't want you
But I need you.
Ho-ho-ho.
Ho-ho-ho.
There is blossom In the garden
On the magnolia Tree.
The ivies are Taking over
Where you planted Rosemary
Where you planted Rosemary.
I don't need you
But I want you.
I don't want you
But I need you.
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
5.Blessed
With your mauve Pillow.
And your laddered tights
With your neat Covers.
And your midnight Eyes.
With your sisters in The suburbs.
With your ballerina's Grace.
You smile and I am blessed.
You laugh and I am possessed.
You climb
The clouds caress.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.
With your grey Denim.
And your hostile life.
With your teeth Missing.
And your mystic eyes.
With your tenderness And trouble.
With your son Against your breast.
You smile and I am blessed.
You laugh and I am possessed.
You climb
The clouds caress.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.
You smile and I am blessed.
You lie and I am dust.
And you ride
London's wilderness.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.
6.Funeral Mantra
We light the oil
And touch the beads.
The naked feel Of rosary .
The fall of morning On the lands.
The smell of incense On our hands.
We kneel Before the open grave.
And light The candles with our pain.
Because all things Will change.
Because they stay the same
We live again
We learn The consequence of sin.
We roll our eyes And touch our skin.
We feel Eternity expressed
With every word,
With every breath.
We kneel Before the open grave.
And light The candles with our pain.
Because the seasons Change.
Because they stay the same
We live again.
We knee Before the open grave.
And light The candles with our pain.
Because all things Will change.
And as your God explains,
We live again.
We live again.
We live again.
We live again.
7.Back To You
You flick your mane and click your fingers again
And from your back, you call my name
And like a fool, I run right back to you
And dance along to your latest tune
And when the lands slides
And when the planets die
That's when I come back
when I come back to you
And when the sun cools
And when the stars fall
That's when I come back
when I come back to you
You roll those eyes and trap my hand in your thighs
It's slavery but in disguise
And like a fool, I run right back to you
There's nothing else that I can do
And when the pigs fly
And when the planets die
That's when I come back
when I come back to you
And when the sun cools
And when the stars fall
That's when I come back
when I come back to you
And when the war machines
Rust eternally
That's when I come back
when I come back to you
And when your heart bleeds
For a love that's dead like me
That's when I come back
when I come back to you...
8.Knife Edge
I think I'll call her number
Just one time.
If she calls back,
I don't care.
She won't mind.
I think I kept her details
In my phone.
If I've lost them
I don't mind.
She won't know.
I think I'll call her.
Make amends
Perfect strangers
On a knife edge.
All it takes is One excuse
To end the date.
Once the teams Were introduced,
Slipped away.
I think I'll call her.
Make amends
Perfect strangers
On a knife edge.
I think I miss her
And her pets
Perfect strangers
On a knife edge.
9.P Marius
As I sit and watch The summertime,
And the shadow of The cranes.
By the branches of The cedar tree
And the beating of The day.
You are the rose Within my soul.
You are the reason Why the wind blows.
By the meeting of The roads
I will hold you In my arms again.
And we'll sit under The cedar tree
As the city Fades away.
By the places Where the blossom falls
And the shadow of The cranes.
You are the rose Within my soul,
You are the reason Why the rain flows.
By the meeting of The roads
I will hold you In my arms again.
By the branches of The cedar tree,
There's a bench Beside the lake.
Take the bridge Over the Serpentine,
And I'll see you Once again.
