1.Algeria
escaping contamination
is a difficult operation
i need some hibernation
hide me from the evil
protect me from the vultures
the men and the women drink
and make children
they need some hibernation
to hide them from the evil
protect them from the vultures
guide me through the colours
spring it dies summer arrives
summer dies autumn arrives
autumn dies winter arrives
forever and ever
ever and ever
i need hibernation
to stray with deviation
to gather some information
hide me from the evil
protect me from the vultures
guide me through the colours
spring it dies summer arrives
summer dies autumn arrives
autumn dies winter arrives
forever and ever
ever and ever
ever and ever
spring it dies summer arrives
summer dies autumn arrives
autumn dies winter arrives
spring it dies summer arrives
summer dies autumn arrives
autumn dies winter arrives
forever
2.Improv
decaying as i am
i need not some promised land
i know that i am failing
acceptance was the plan
no silence in the sea
nothing tranquil awaits me
useless and used up
with too much using to do
i have chosen everything
this is what makes it so bad
no matter what the action
the situation was created by me
my life is different
these grey streets will only get me down
they will never fool me
integrate me as their clown
decaying as i am
i need not some promised land
i know that i am failing
acceptance was the plan
no silence in the sea
nothing tranquil awaits me
useless and used up
with too much using to do
decaying as i am
i need not some promised land
i know that i am failing
acceptance was the plan
stumbling through patches
of flowered mortality
my daze is special
you you're my goddess to be
3.Broken Down
pasta machine broke down
by the weed in the field
i get so nice when i see angels face
i will sip the wine of all the tears you cry
feel for me sympathy
the kind that we all need
crimson handed fiend
of hate strokes the soul of all
saints cannot flee
the strength of the call
we just carry on
as if we know all that is wrong
feel for me sympathy
the kind that we all need
placid perspective straight
losing hope postponing fate
synchronise incarcerate
let them eat i can hate
i can say nothing new
despite the doves that flew
feel for me sympathy
the kind we all need
crimson handed fiend
of hate strokes the soul of all
saints cannot flee
the strength of the call
we just carry on
as if we know all that is wrong
feel for me sympathy
the kind that we all need
4.Surrender
my stupid short hall swimming flight
engulfed with my magic light
days of years years of days to go
and everything is upside down
and down around we go
but still my thoughts are surrendered
bang and light that's all they do
beings like gods there are too few
holding on to the last dance tonight
and everything is upside down
and down around we go
but still my thoughts are surrendered
pale face in a beach scent
piers of nothing remain cement
days of school learning how to smile
and everything is upside down
and down around we go
but still my thoughts are surrendered
bang and light that's all they do
beings like gods there are too few
holding on to the last dance tonight
and everything is upside down
and down around we go
but still my thoughts are surrendered
5.Willow
by the bright leaves in the garden of my saviour
as the parasol gently shades her
i can see you when i want to where i am now
with out old lives left behind us
we are new now
oh yeah
only way i want to be
only one i want to see
only way i want to live
only one i want to love
only way i want to be
only one i want to see
only way i want to live
only one i want to love
by the old wood burning in the garden
as the moths fly in the flames like our little harlem
i can see you when i want to where i am now
with out old lives left behind us
we are new now
oh yeah
only way i want to be
only one i want to see
only way i want to live
only one i want to love
only way i want to be
only one i want to see
only way i want to live
only one i want to love
6.Not Like You
wrap me up in confidence
break it down when it suits you
always separate
no matter what happens
always needing more
never content
that's me no capacity
for complete generosity
not like you
possibly
please love me
sincerely
claim you believe its true
the story could have confused you
maybe i was wrong
maybe you were strong
take it out on me
i will fight with thee
because i need things to go wrong when they are right
not like you
possibly
please love me
sincerely
wrap me up in confidence
break it down when it suits you
always separate
no matter what happens
always needing more
never content
that's me no capacity
for complete generosity
not like you
possibly
please love me
sincerely
7.Undercover Angel
i saw you in a river of stardust
and golden spray was sent down by the good sun
it covered you and made you shine
an angel that's what you are
but this shining flower knows it can sting
i know my mind is taken over by
this satellite in the land of cloud
where you fell from
an angle that's what you are
but this shining flower knows it can sting
honesty it could destroy me
an angel is worth the risk
of being sentenced by a pilot
to my dreamland cross
an angel that's what you are
but this shining flower knows it can sting
i know my mind is taken over by
this satellite in the land of cloud
where you fell from
an angel that's what you are
but this shining flower knows it can sting
8.Oxygen
short sleeves and warm skin
losing coins calling next of kin
dropping words about the city were in
ponds compressed by heavy air
us without care just sprawling there
gods in our world
airports and undergrounds
waiting to find the unfound
rising to pure insanity
here when you want me
true love has no simplicity
gods in our world
you and i were going so high
the air is getting thin
our land does not breathe in
we don't need oxygen
its dreams that bind us and locks us in
the rest are impaled by sense
you and i were going so high
the air is getting thin
our land does not breathe in
we don't need oxygen
its dreams that bind us and locks us in
the rest are impaled by sense
9.October Swimmer
the dreams of dying mothers
i awoke my insides shuddered
the grey coats of the infantry
victims looking for sympathy
the splash of october swimmers
the cheers of helsinki winners
my barbed bones of futility
leaking marrow of ability
i don't need anyone
you don't need anyone
i want to be a happy boy
this means that you must employ my lies
when iwant you
i don't need anyone
i want to be a happy boy
this means that you must employ my lies
i don't need anyone
you don't need anyone
i want to be a happy boy
this means that you must employ my lies
when iwant you
i don't need anyone
i don't need anyone
i don't need anyone
10.Long Way South
torrential high seas
dragged me to my knees
bleeding perfumed blood
magic mixed with mud
and
grace i need you to ease
my place in this world of face
i don't want to ever
death defying breeze
is just what i need
ease this passing blood
pressure in my ears
and
grace i need you to ease
my place in this world of face
i don't want to ever
torrential high seas
dragged me to my knees
bleeding perfumed blood
magic mixed with mud
and
grace i need you to ease
my place in this world of face
i don't want to ever
11.Snow
people go dancing
in crowded rooms
my head is getting tired
darkness looms
children go cursing at their only cause
why won't it snow
like they said it would
what is it that they know
that i really should
i check my look in the mirror
ii don't glow
my face is getting thinner
darkness shows
children go cursing at their only cause
why won't it snow
like they said it would
what is it that they know
that i really should
why won't it snow
like they said it would
what is it that they know
that i really should
12.Bumble Bee
fade away into dust again
and i will see what i want
i sing my sad songs
and i hope forever
denounce the spears thrown by mourners
cherish the fears and wait for death
i sing my sad songs
and i hope forever
