Tradition and roots weigh in heavy when the future is
unsure
unrest in the neighbourhood not seen since years before
the breaking of the news is pouring fuel onto the fire
i start speaking words that i know inside don't seem
right
i met him where the road breaks up to the track into
the woods
he hadn't had a talk for a while he wanted to feel
understood
what he had to say sent shivers
shivers down my spine
dont go until the ground frosts cleared
the rivers higher than people have seen for years
dry bark by the fireside
avoid the eyes of strangers outside
left him in the eye of the storm
he said he needed no-one else at all
he follows the law of the land
its all there to remind me
spent years on long term sick in a terraced house in
town
something inside of him broke and he made the move out
took up a secluded barn with a 10 year stock of
supplies
he says when the church bells ring thats when he'll
know they're near
the way he looked at me sent shivers
shivers to the bones
keep inside until the first green shows
he says the trees tell him all he needs to know
cut off from the rest of the world
nervous speech in riddles and codes
left him in the eye of the storm
he said he needed no-one else at all
he follows the law of the land
its all there to remind me
well did you notice him the other day
there was a tone in his voice which worried me
we think he may be alone from us now
he may be further in
be smart, be still
take the action now
you're yelling about a time thats gone
cause and effect
take a step back step back step back
dont go until the ground frosts cleared
the rivers higher than people have seen for years
dry bark by the fireside
avoid the eyes of strangers outside
left him in the eye of the storm
he said he needed no-one else at all
he follows the law of the land
its all there to remind me
well thank you
somehow you helped me through
the centres founder speaks
says all these people are freaks
and i sympathise but thats as far as it goes
he says all he needs is a loving wife
forgotten about the hours they spent
under the water tower

Stood on a bridge up east on the county borderline
You struck me dumb with words you had no right to know
Throw your voice
lip-read read the rest
I could get lost and fall behind
What was that you said
under your breath about a boy...
If you want me, don't be late
I'm not leaving, but I won't stay
Keeping distance out of site
I won't watch you waste away
You don't ask much, you don't ask twice
You don't ask the feelings you hold inside
If you want me don't be late..
Out in the hills we'll run and run till we fall down
Grass moves across your skin and 6 years fall away
You used to thrown coins in for luck in the well
At the mill burnt down now
You said everything seems smaller now
chorus
In the meantime
All the honey here for me
Lavender vervaine apple tree
Midsummer fires are all the rage

The currency of boyish good looks has run its course for
the time being
Don’t waste your money on artefacts on sale at the local
museum
Deals you made and promises broke – the cost of living
cheaply
Houses close and people go searching for their belongings
The greatest love is a battleground
Here are my arms and here is my heart
Low profile, I want cake, cash changing hands, shake-ups
and stand-offs
Special one, pierce balloons, people popping up left,
right and centre
Rain check, deliveries on, first up, last to get even
Whispers fly above you like cartoon captions, words
reading bigger than what’s spoken
The greatest love is a battleground
Here are my arms and here is my heart
Just a surface hit, just a surface hit…

The push and pull effect gets me still and the eyes
are getting to me
It’s the deal for a while and the time is short
but so sweet with you
I can speak very well don’t you know you have a tongue
like a porno film
I guess you’re trying to shock, trying to teach a new
kid, a new kind of speech – am I doing well?
I can go I can go I can go with it
You could stay you could stay with it
There’s the tender edge, there’s the skin you need
There’s the tone of voice, there’s the normal deal
Don’t get confused don’t buy me things
Just wrap me up in your arms again
Isn’t it a pity, isn’t it a shame
Babyish stuff really, but its everything
Low lights, slow hand clap, use a pinch, a wink, a
trick
It’s a sting gone wrong
I can go I can go
You could stay you could stay
I cant even speak of you yet
you are a spell delicately set
English blue, turquoise ink
Creaking wind, perfect blink
Rush in on me
Break through to me
Explain to me
Get stuck on me
I pull on you
Try it on with you
Get lost in you

On a hillside in the meadows
By the old copse ring of oaks
They lay down there as lovers
But no words of love were spoke
They had drunken all her daddys wine
Stole her mothers pills
The sun had burned her brittle
She had taken more than her fill
So as she lay there sleeping
He snapped a thick branch from a tree
Took it too her pretty soft head
Spilled her blood onto the green
Dragged her body through the woods
With his bare hands dug a grave
Fell down across the fresh mound
He was too drunk to pray
On a hillside in the meadows
By the old copse ring of oaks
Are the graves of two young lovers
Of which no more words are spoke
Once the discoveries made its locked down permanent
People ahead of their games get it wrong with bold
claims
She says the naivety of the seventies meant we
Could take up torches and run into fields without fears
And she talks in a way, all bookish, sincere
And you wonder have you ever been there in your heart?
There comes a point when you need something to hold
onto
The whole free love thing only works with some people
Camera picks up on rude
Camera picks up extreme
Camera picks up confused
Camera picks up on a boy
If I came out to meet you
Maybe if I made it clear
Maybe if we waited a season
Or just another year
Midsummer night and the fires alight
Deep in the shadows the shadows of the copse
And shes dancing circles around
Singing songs she had no right to know
Get home late the house is dark
Sun still on your skin but theres a chill in your heart
I should have known

she was the one they turned to
when all else had seemed to fail
she was the one who listened
who gave herself up through it all
only so much someone can take
propping up another’s dreams
to reach such fame in the eyes of your friends
surely you were misunderstood
all those secret moments alone
where you wondered just who you were
all the love you gave seemed from somewhere else
something learnt, but never real
letters from sunken, poor lost souls
who’d misread the look in your eyes
taking a shot in the dark at your love
woman you can leave them all behind
now your pushing yourself even further
found the strength to aim for higher ground
you are your mother
your father
your sister
your brother
all of them are with you inside
she was the one they turned to
when they needed a woman’s voice
she was the one who listened
and gave out the gentle advice
when could you break from the image?
Put aside the perfect face?
Be wrong, be rude, be nasty and cold
Start putting people in their place
Back to the woods where your brother played
Back to the promises your mother made
Back to the room where your sister stayed
Back to the year when you felt the change
You carried weights not all could see
But you put them down and you danced with me
Danced in the summer Danced in the rain
Danced away the past Danced away the pain
Out in the country we stood as the lightening cracked
You told me you had to go on alone and not come back
you are your mother
your father
your sister
your brother
all of them are with you inside
they will never, never, never forget you no they’ll
never, never, never forget you
when I met you
that night
you were falling down
desperately searching
for a loving sound
with perfect
strangers
in an unknown town
we fell in together
until morning
came
we looked harder
together
look at what we
found!
now we are over
we are stronger
