Still Feels Better

I need marching down the hall
Take me outside against the wall
Blindfold on, drum roll please
Fire at will above the knees
I'm heading off the page - I'm lost, I'm lost
But it still feels better than going no where
See them flowers by the track
On their own turning black
I've been here since the start
No one's been to read my chart
Heading off the page - I'm lost, I'm lost
But it still feels better than going no where
Last requests - what you got?
A length of rope and a ten foot drop
No one sure why you tried
To believe that its your fight
Heading off the page - I'm lost, I'm lost
Cos it still feels better than going no where

Everybody get down
This one's made for us
Face to the ground
In these four walls we trust
Its the loudest sound
That's overwhelming us
We're hollowed out
That's what's become of us
Everybody knows it's there - buried in the ground
Let's all sing about California
Everyday the sunlight adores yer
Let's all sing about California
There's a piece of mind waiting for yer
California
Will you hear me out
There's no more to be lost
Everyone's so proud
Hypnotised in trust
Laughing at your crown
And it's reign of rust
Will you please get down
Get down for us
Everybody knows it's there - buried in the ground
Let's all sing about California
Everyday the sunlight adores yer
Let's all sing about California
There's a piece of mind waiting for yer
California
Everybody knows it's there - buried in the ground
Let's all sing about California
Everyday the sunlight adores yer
Let's all sing about California
There's a piece of mind waiting for yer
California

This Kiss
03:30
|

He saw the pattern of the stars
And it carried him home
The unfolding of her arms
And it carried him home - carried him home
He fell into the dark
But they carried him home
A tongue that was so sharp
But they carried him home - carried him home
His heart was heavy as a stone
But it carries him home - carries him home
This kiss
Is for
All the world
To know
Joy
He heard a city sing his name
And it carried him home
He set the future on his claim
And it carried him home - carried him home
He didn't hear when it came
But it carried him home
He left a King without a reign
It carries him home - carries him home
His heart is light without a load
But it carries him home - carries him home
This kiss
Is for
All the world
To know
Joy

Send It On
02:56
|

Don't say it won't work
Don't say it only hurts
You've got to let it go
Get rid the bad you know
Send it on
This curse you're trying to fix
By braking it to bits
You'll wish away their sun
For all you can disown
Send it on
Send it on
Send it on
Send it on

A Fine name for Him
02:17
|
|||
Don't wanna hang round outside the Fairground
Where your broken spirit pretends
Picking up clowns who make the right sound
Beginnings that start with an end
Well I'll have a son and you'll be the one
Who's worshiped where ever she goes
We'll watch him learning
Aladiel is a fine name for him
Don't wanna get stuck in blaming bad luck
And wearing it like an old coat
Don't wanna act dumb as the waves overcome
And jump off hoping I'll float
I want to be tired of your wayward desires
But I follow you round like a ghost
I want to act kind when you say you don't mind
When I tell you it all could be lost
Well I'll have a son and you'll be the one
Who's worshiped where ever she goes
I'll be the liar who sits round the fire
To tell him what nobody knows
We'll watch him learning
Aladiel is a fine name for him
Aladiel is a fine name for him

Hadrian's Lover
06:04
|
|||
I gave you the blessings and the light
I was the seal upon which your name
The temple and the flame
Still I stand behind him in his dead light
He has no equal
Hadrian's lover
A younger kinder Heart of bright
He hold's the world in sensation
He returns what time has taken
So I stand behind him in his dead light
He has no equal
Hadrian's lover

In Your Dreams
02:07
|

In your dreams - in your dreams
That's what she said to me
Well I'm the last one to believe
So you can tell me
Cos you look like the kind of man who can't hold onto his woman
You look bold over cold
Not to beg not to steal
That's the chaos that's the deal
And no one owns it
Cos you look like the kind of man who can't hold onto his woman
It's the smoke that spirals up
Out of a dead mans gun
No one stopped to ask why this
And now the moments gone
There's an island on its own
With a shadow growing old
It covers no ground
This is pleasing
Cos you look like the kind of man who can't hold onto his woman

Someday
04:41
|
|||
This house stands for
All that is true and what that's for
Let us sing and we'll follow you anywhere
One vote one door
Walk on through into the dawn
Of a night were the silence will hold you there
It will be
Just like
A new term
You'll learn
We gave you took
Without shame we'll rewrite the book
Let lovers become broken and empty
One hand to play
Only one plane in the sky today
Where you don't look is where you don't see
It will be
Just like
A slow change
Slow chains
Someday you'll believe me

Quick as you like
04:46

Quick as you like came the Deck Masters cry
Our fortune's not measured in Gold
Backbone and tears - we can't sail on ideas
Come on lads we'll rest when we're home
As the sea breathes
Misgivings' leave
Your thinking to run they'll be drunk til first sun
No one will miss that I'm gone
But the night runs too quick and your bottle won't stick
You wake in the galley again
As the sea breathes
Misgivings' leave
The waves sting like tears and they're rolling as years
And you can't feel your blood for the cold
Mercy you cry - I'll be true til I die
But the wind don't take kind to being told
Then the sun breaks the clouds and lights up the prow
And the sky is all you hold dear
And your worries draw blind as to settle your mind
On a love that set you down here
As the sea breathes
Misgivings' leave

Won't be Coming Home
04:36
|

Why's she sent for me, I'm only having fun
I'll be the last one here, you can tell my mum
As long as there's whisky I won't be coming home
Who'll be the first one to tell me I am wrong
Who'll be the last one to join me in a song
As long as there's whisky I won't be coming home
I'll take my brothers rigg to sail me down the sound
Where hope good fortune, a little tender ground
As long as there's whisky I won't be coming home
Kind hands I'm wishing for to walk me through the days
Kind words I waited for, you kept to save
As long as there's whisky I won't be coming home
Will you dance with me if there is no drum
We'll walk the shoreline til we see the sun
As long as there's whisky I won't be coming home
Will you send for me when I'm in the dark
My name a tale upon a stones stubborn heart
As long as there's whisky I won't be coming home
As long as there's whisky I won't be coming home

The One Who's Here
05:33
|
|||
It takes a flame to burn a bridge
But hearts are tame and need opening
The first kiss of a curse
Takes years to unearth
Darling the eyes of my learning
I need your name, I need to call
On my knees to them all
I'm the one who's here
Sweeter minds have gone before
But not a wish, not anymore
I'm the one who's here
A remembered sun, slow comes the light
A day of love that runs through the night
The first kiss of a curse
Takes years to unearth
Darling the eyes of my learning
I need your name, I need to call
On my knees to them all
I'm the one who's here
Sweeter minds have gone before
But not a wish, not anymore
I'm the one who's here
Should any of this make sense?
Can I ever ask to know
If its time that hides its face
Will forever take me home?
I need your name, I need to call
On my knees to them all
I'm the one who's here
Sweeter minds have gone before
But not a wish, not anymore
I'm the one who's here
I'm the one who's here
