1.The Bad In Each Other
Speak plain he said
But didn't say
He acted that way
And held me like a cup
Fill me up
Then pour me up
Therein lies the doubt
We had the same feelings
At opposite times
When a good man and a good woman
Can't find the good in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Will bring out the worst in each other
The bad in each other
But what and how
To find us now when we've become two
Fluorescently blue
Down the neon river
The sadness canoes
Either without or with her
When a good man and a good woman
Can't find the good in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Will bring out the worst in each other
When a good man and a good woman
Can't find the good in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Will bring out the worst in each other
The bad in each other
2.Graveyard
The graveyard, the graveyard all full of light
The only age, the beating heart is empty of life
Dirt and grass, a shadow heart; the moon sails past
Blood as ice is an empty crisis, lonely it lies
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Roots and lies, roots and lies, our family tree is old
From there we climb the golden hill, calmly will eternity
I held your heart, a giant wand; all tell of sorrow
And history begins to be blue and brown eyes
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
Whoa-ah-ah-ah ah-ah. bring 'em all back to life
3.Caught A Long Wind
Little bird, Have you got a key
Unlock the lock, inside of me.
Where will you go, Keep yourself afloat,
feeling old,utill the wings unflolded
caught me a long wind
Where will we go
Keep yourself afloat
Caught a Long Wind
A long life wind
I got too know the sky
But it didn't know me
Got too see the light
The light on top of the sea
Be the burn, be the key
And now the current tells
What the wave withheld
And then the lightning say
oh Where the light will lye
Where will you go
Keep yourself afloat
I Caught a Long Wind
A long life wind
Like a swallow
A night ow
a little chickadee
sad sparrow
good morning bird
good nightgale
I took a deep breath
and caught a long wind
4.How Come You Never Go There
(whoa whoa whoa oh) x2
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
(whoa whoa whoa oh) x2
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
I went up to your window
Lightly banging on the cymbals
a writ into the night
came storming to your house
My horse had worked the fields too long
And there had lost its innate calm
It's true enough for not at peace
But peace is never where it seems
Our love is not the light it was
When I walk inside the dark, I'm calm
Where we look for where it went
It's only echoes in the melody
(whoa whoa whoa oh) x2
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
We waste time on blame, I wreak revenge
We use energy and footjections
We're living proof we gotta let go
And stop looking through the lay-low
We carry on as if the time is through
You carry on as if i don't love you
And so we find the way to lie
To cover hard I have a doubt
The room's full eyes are empty
Like your letters never sent me
Your words are like a lasso
You're an instrumental tune
(whoa whoa whoa oh) x2
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
(whoa whoa whoa oh) x2
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
(whoa whoa whoa oh) x2
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
(whoa whoa whoa oh) x2
How come you never go there
How come I'm so alone there
5.A Commotion
He flicker to light
He turned broke what was right
He got the roots by the hair
When it was no longer there
He blocked out the sun
He climbed up the stairs
Through the cross
I went marching my back
A commotion, a commotion
A commotion, a commotion
If it rips you all apart
Then glad you're still at your heart
If it rips you all apart
And glad you're still at your heart
Stop through the rooms
Until she's all back
If it puts out the shells
It turns half way to hell
Then he held me down tight
Took all my fight
Broke down the windows
You came flying down the kindle
A commotion, a commotion
A commotion, a commotion
If it rips you all apart
Then glad you're still at your heart
If it rips you all apart
And glad you're still at your heart
If it rips you all apart
Then glad you're still at your heart
If it rips you all apart
And glad you're still at your heart
If it rips you all apart
Then glad you're still at your heart
If it rips you all apart
And glad you're still at your heart.
And glad you're still at your heart.
And glad you're still at your heart.
And glad you're still at your heart.
6.Woe Be
7.Bittersweet Melodies
Whispers in the grass
Under slow dancing trees
Birds are telling me stories
Saying you were meant for me
With their bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back, I can't go on (without those)
Bittersweet melodies
Weakened kitchen floor
Snow slips under the door
Tiny speakers were singing
Telephone always ringing
With those bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back, I can't go on
I remember us
'fore we turn to dusk
Just when these feelings were all about
When we still could trust
in our hearts
Bittersweet memory
Like a sweet melody
Bittersweet memories
Can't go back, I can't go on
Both of us singing that same old song
With those bittersweet memories
Like a bittersweet melody
Bittersweet memories
And it seemed oh so wrong
Since those bittersweet melodies
played for me
8.Anti Pioneer
start with colours
they always get away with attitude
but they'll try to convince you of your mood
what you want they'll give it to you
but it's only therapy, that's all they do
And for a year she was anti-pioneer
Singing sappy songs about what went wrong two years before
But you know when the false is true
when the flag changes colours
the language knows
when the month changes numbers
it's time to go
when the flag changes colours
the language knows
when the month changes numbers
it's time to go
anti-pioneer
anti-pioneer
anti-pioneer
anti-pioneer
And for a year she was anti-pioneer
The past arrived too late to change her future's fate
Oo-oo oo-oo
But you know when the false gets true
And different colours seem possible to you
When the flag changes colours
The language knows
When the month changes numbers
It's time to go
When the flag changes colours
The language knows
When the month changes numbers
It's time to go home
9.Undiscovered First
I had what I thought were clear open eyes, bright blue.
Vision of a lake, carryin' pictures to lay on you.
Close the blinds, let 'em in,
don't mind openin' at the edge of love.
You can't un-think a thought,
either it's there or not.
Shadows of the mountain,
don't tell them what's under.
The breadth and the height
of an undiscovered first.
Now hopeful mountaineers climb up to eclipse
like the whole sun.
Cause it's been said that two would know what to do,
it'd been told.
Shadows of the mountain,
don't tell them what's under.
The breadth and the height
of an undiscovered first.
Shadows of the mountain,
don't tell them what's in store.
The height and the breadth,
is it wrong to want more
IS THIS THE RIGHT MOUNTAIN
FOR US TO CLIMB
IS THIS THE WAY TO LIVE
FOR YOU TO BE MINE
IS THIS THE RIGHT RIVER
FOR US TO FORD
IS THIS THE WAY YOU LIVE
FOR ME TO BE YOURS
IS THIS THE WAY TO LIVE
FOR ME TO BE YOURS
IS THIS THE WAY TO LIVE
IS IT WRONG TO WANT MORE
(Is this the way to live for me to be yours
Is this the way to live Is it wrong to want more
10.Cicadas And Gulls
Cicadas and gulls
They scrape on the hull
The land and the sea
They're distant from me
I'm in the sky, sky, sky
I'm in the sky
Thoughts are like pearls
When flags are unfurled
When we're in the dark
I'll ride you back the ark
Because you might, might, might
Because you might
Maps can be posed
With you on your own
And distance is braille
And all that entails
I'm in the sky, sky, sky
I'm in the sky
I'm in the sky
As deep as a page
As high as a stage
As full as a room
When we're in the spoon
11.Comfort Me
When you comfort me
It doesn't bring me comfort actually
When you comfort me
True life in haiku
It balances the phrase out of the blue
The meaning's shown to you
What does sadness see
The mirror has a mirror in his teeth
That's what sadness sees
Big sky, tiny bird
And when the paragraph betrays the word
Big sky, tiny bird
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
While you helped me up
I held my calendar out like a cup
While you helped me up
Make it about me
I want to hold the blame to guillotine
Make it all blame-free
Hee-hee-hee
Hee-hee hee-hee-hee, hee-hee
Hee-hee-hee
Hee-hee hee-hee-hee, hee-hee
Na na na na-na
Na-na-na-na-na na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
Na-na-na-na-na na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
Na-na-na-na-na na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
When you comfort me
It doesn't bring me comfort actually
12.Get It Wrong,Get It Right
Wind on the fields blowin' your hair
We were cold, we were cold, we were cold
We were cold, hand to hold, hand to hold
Come to the hill, got a nest to build
String and grass, string and grass, string and grass
String and grass, be the past, be the past
Climb up to the clouds, tops of the trees
Little road, little road, little road
Little road, come and go, come and go
River dam, lake fills up the land
Skippin' stones, skippin' stones, skippin' stones
Skippin' stones, build a home, build a home
Cold outside, warm by the fire
Get it wrong, get it wrong, get it wrong
Get it right, get it right, get it right
