Test the mend, devil melt
Bloody money when it's lent
Scum repair everywhere
They want money, oh
Heavenly won't it be
Here's some money
Belong to thee
I will pay they will say
Give your money, oh
Obligator came and said to me
Why don't you pay your debt
The debt that you amend
Asking him forgive on his demand
For I am with a mate
Despite in her return
Remittance of the debt
I can't accept
He told me and he capped
Quite time on his demand
Imaginations came into my brain
Cause if you patients came
That brings me in my break
Test the mend, devil mend
Bloody money when it's lent
Scum repair everywhere

Our inconvenient burden
It could be lifted off of us
If we gave up
To finally let go
Of the free will that we were given
Our graves
Above the timberline
Our name chalked
The pressure of wealth
No longer found
The unforgiving void
The forge in which our values burn
The resting leech
Our thinning minds
In my abstinence I turn to nothing
Our graves
Above the timberline
Our name chalked
The pressure of wealth
No longer found
Let them inherit this fire now
Lest they will forget that we were

Mother, father, I'm doing okay
On the other side of the country and far away
And though I know the things that you want to hear me say
Sometimes these things are hard
[Foreign Content]
Right down to the long thin pointed face
And my muddled up and twisted tongue
And now I find that I'm doing things you would have done
Sometimes these things are hard
So do I thank you? Or do I curse you?
These tracks stretch out before me, that ones you left behind
What I want, what I feel, it's yours, yours, not mine
Mother, father, all those battles that have been
And the long, long silences that lay in between
Please don't try to tell me that all those were in vain
Sometimes these things are hard
We line up at the wedding in rows of deep set eyes
In our finest formal dresses yeah, proper suits and ties
Like a family of Munsters in a really bad disguise
So do I thank you? Or do I curse you?
These tracks stretch out before me that the ones you left behind

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
April song
Lilac glistening foal
Ten as one
On the breeze they flow
When it gets my heart out
Nature's son
Don't you know where life has gone
Burying progress in the clouds
How we learn to linger on
Head in sand
Expecting the dour
To redress with open arms
Ascension in incentive end
When it gets my heart out
Nature's son
Don't you know how life goes on
Desperately befriending the crowd
To incessantly drive on
Dress in gold's surrendering gown
Heaven bless you in your calm
My gentle friend

So tired, always thinking about
Just why this is the way it is
Seems easier to just let go
Turn off, give up and just fucking live
But then that nagging suspicion
Well it always returns
Makes me wonder if it's far too late
Can't turn the clock back, can't turn around
Just surrender and accept my fate
Just surrender and
Just surrender and
Just surrender and accept my fate
Wasting my energy and wasting my time
Got nothing to say and no one wants hear
It's so pathetic how I try and I try but
I never once stop to face the fear
You think you're going somewhere
Let me fill you in
Your life's over before you even let it begin
Obsessed with rules
You really have gone the wrong way
Just relax, settle in and watch it decay
I've got this will to live but yet I don't know why
Somewhere along the line I just forgot how to die

[Verse 1:]
A new day dawns and it still ain't rained
And some say the planet earth still ain't changed
I wonder what they make of the extended summers
And storms that don't stop 'til the whole town's under
Seems we all just do what we feel like
Do whatever feels good - not what feels right
Not sure why but we've sacrificed foresight
Blinded by the lights of these television screens
I want to hear the television scream
Instead of reading us the small print of big business deals
Imagine how your kids would feel growing up
Skin burning up each day, heat wave never slowing up and sure enough
The powers that be create argument
But that's a childs game, we both know who started this
You once made a promise, I hope you can remember it
COs we've got no choice but to accept this inheritance
[Chorus: Jane Tyrell {Vocals}]
Look what we inherited
This is what we inherited
How can we say thank you
If you won't let us open our mouth?
Look what we inherited
This is what we inherited
How can we say thank you
If you won't let us open our mouth?
[Verse 2:]
Can't you understand how the modern man was made insane?
When his plans for the future feel made in vain?
When anyone who makes a stand gets chopped at the knees?
Unarmed protesters shot by police
Then reports switch name-tags - we're the enemies
It's a "bad education" when you can't afford the fees
The pieces of this pie could feed forty thieves
If you've never smelt the greed you're a little naïve
And a little like me, back when I was 18
Before I saw blood spilt for an Australian dream
It was your blood, my blood
OhLord wise up, rise up and see how they're blundering your kingdom
But second coming never came it's a shame that if God don't exist then that
Makes you insane
He'll discipline his children with the force of the elements
And we've got no choice but to accept his inheritance
[Chorus:]
Look what we inherited
This is what we inherited
How can we say thank you
If you won't let us open our mouth?
Look what we inherited
This is what we inherited
How can we say thank you
If you won't let us open our mouth?
[Verse 3:]
We all in this together, so keep digging your grave so we can fall in
Together
Climbing out would give in to pressure
Have you ever had the guts to admit we don't live forever?
No cure for denial, praise for false idols
Easy to get dizzy on a downward spiral
Still blockout, can't blockout the burning truth
The sins of the father revisit the youth
It's a black and white issue now that green turned brown
Red faced when I think about how we turned out
Owed the world everything, we dying in debt
Life's a mirror that reflects what's under the flesh
And there isn't an alternative to breath
Believe this alternative energy is our alternative to death
But I'm a sinner too, sense regret in my sentiment
All I wanna do is thank you for this inheritance
[Chorus:]
Look what we inherited
This is what we inherited
How can we say thank you
If you won't let us open our mouth?
Look what we inherited
This is what we inherited
How can we say thank you
If you won't let us open our mouth?
