The West's asleep. Let England shake,
weighted down with silent dead.
I fear our blood won't rise again.
England's dancing days are done.
Another day, Bobby, for you to come home
& tell me indifference won.
Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.
Pack up your troubles, let's head out
to the fountain of death
& splash about, swim back and forth
& laugh out loud,
until the day is ending,
& the birds are silent in the branches,
& the insects are courting in the bushes,
& by the shores of lovely lakes
His m'bike's clean, you polish that thing
He looks her over more than me
But I won't let it get to me
Yeah, he can play with his machine
Night and day, wind or shine
Looks at her shape, not at mine
But I'm not complainin', no, I think it's neat
Yeah, he can play with his machine
Hmm, but all he's speakin' and all he sees
Is just his motor bike, not me
No, I won't let it get to me
No, I can't stop thinkin' his goddamn machine
Motor
Motor
Motor
Motor
Take that lady coastin' west
Ride his motor over the edge
Yeah, I could break her
Break her, break me
But get rid of that, hmm, goddamn machine
Yeah, I could break her
(Motor)
Break her, break me
(Motor)
Get rid of that
(Motor)
Goddamn machine
(Motor)
Yeah, I'm gonna break her
(Motor)
Think what you live
(Motor)
I fuckin' hate
(Motor)
His motor bike
Joseph walked on and on
The sunset went down and down
Coldness cooled their desire
And Dawn said, 'Let's build a fire'
The sun dressed the trees in green
And Joe said, "I fell like a king'
And Dawn's neck, and her feet were bare
Sweetness in her golden hair
Said, 'I'm not scared'
Turned to her and smiled
Secrets in his eyes
Sweetness of desire
Is this desire?
Enough enough
To lift us higher
To lift above?
Hour long, by hour, may we two stand
When we're dead, between these lands
The sun set behind his eyes
And Joe said, 'Is this desire?'
Is this desire?
Enough enough
To lift us higher
To lift above?
Is this desire
Enough enough
Enough inside
C'mon Billy

Bitter branches
spreading out.
There's none more bitter
than the wood.
Into the wide world,
it grows,
twisting under
soldier's feet,
standing in line
and the damp earth underneath.
Holding up their rifles
high,
holding their young wives
who wave goodbye.
Hold up the clear glass
to look and see
soldiers standing
and the roots twist underneath.
Their young wives with white hands
wave goodbye.
Their arms as bitter branches
spreading into the world.
Wave goodbye,
Oh grandmother
How I miss you
Under the earth
Wish I was with you
To talk to you
To talk to you
I found somebody
Tried to give myself to
Many times
I wanted to talk to you
If I lay on the earth
Could you hear
Oh grandmother
I'm so lonely
All my life
If I lay on the earth
Could you hear then
If I lay...
I can't believe life's so complex
When I just wanna' sit here and watch you undress
This is love that I'm feeling
Does it have to be a life full of dread?
I wanna' chase you round the table, I wanna' touch your head
This is love that I'm feeling
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
While my head burns
This is love that I'm feeling
Even in the summer, even in the spring
You can never get too much of a wonderful thing
You're the only story that I never told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna' keep you so
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
Goddamn' Europeans!
Take me back to beautiful England
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages,
fog rolling down behind the mountains,
& on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.
Let me walk through the stinking alleys
to the music of drunken beatings,
past the Thames River, glistening like gold
hastily sold for nothing.
Let me watch night fall on the river,
the moon rise up and turn to silver,
the sky move,
the ocean shimmer,
the hedge shake,
I've seen and done things I want to forget;
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat,
Blown and shot out beyond belief.
Arms and legs were in the trees.
I've seen and done things I want to forget;
coming from an unearthly place,
Longing to see a woman's face,
Instead of the words that gather pace,
The words that maketh murder.
These, these, these are the words-
The words that maketh murder.
These, these, these are the words-
The words that maketh murder.
These, these, these are the words-
Murder...
These, these, these are the words-
The words that maketh murder.
I've seen and done things I want to forget;
I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot
Climbing behind the fierce, gone sun,
I've seen flies swarming everyone,
Soldiers fell like lumps of meat.
These are the words, the words are these.
death lingering, stunk,
Flies swarming everyone,
Over the whole summit peak,
Flesh quivering in the heat.
This was something else again.
I fear it cannot be explained.
The words that make, the words that make
Murder.
How is our glorious country ploughed?
Not by iron ploughs
Our lands is ploughed by tanks and feet,
Feet
Marching
Oh, America
Oh, England
How is our glorious country sown?
Not with wheat and corn.
How is our glorious land bestowed?
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
Its fruit is deformed children.
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
Speak, I'm listening
Baby, I'm your sweet thing
Believe what I'm saying
God's truth, I'm not lying
I lie steady
Rest your head on me
I'll smooth it nicely
Rub it better 'till it bleeds
And you'll believe me
Caught out again
I'm calling you weak
Getting even
And I, I was joking
Sweet babe, let me stroke it
Take, I'm giving
God's truth, I'm not lying
And you'll believe me
I, I, I'm calling you in
And I'll make it better
I'll rub 'till it bleeds
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it, hey!
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it, hey!
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
All those places
Where I recall the memories
That gripped me
And pinned me down
I go to these places
Intending to think
To think of nothing
No anticipate
And somehow expect
You'll find me there
That by some miracle
You'd be aware
I'd risen this morning
Determined to break
The spell of my longing
And not to think
I freed myself from my family
I freed myself from work
I freed myself
I freed myself
And remained alone
And in my thinking
Steal you away
Though you never wanted me
Anyway
Silence
Silence
Silence
I have no time for hate or love
Hey child, you're so full of woe
I have no time for hate or lying
Oh dear sweet mama
I'm not feeling well
Can I step out
For a little while?
But I go missing
I steal away
And I go kissing
In the alleyway
All I want to do
And all I want to grow up to be
Is all caught up with you
Look what you're doing to me
Oh dearest young man
Teach me sweetheart
How to love you
I'm a clever girl
You've got me lying
You've got me leaving home
You've got me crying
When I'm alone
When I'm not with you my dreams are so very dark
When I'm not with you I dream of my hair falling out
When I'm not with you I walk dark tunnels of my heart
When I'm not with you everything comes apart
When I was younger
I spent my days
Wondering to whom
I was supposed to pray
Um-hmmm
Dunk you,Under, Deep salt, Water
Bring me, Lover, All your, Power
I'll be, No hell, Out of, Your spell
Over, Under, Die of, Pleasure
Hear my, Dreaming, You'll be , Drowning
Hell's low, God above, All drunk, On my love
You oughtta hear my long snake .... Moan!
You oughtta see me crawl my .... Moan!
Dunk you, Under, Deep salt, Water
In my, Dreaming, You'll be, Drowning
Raise me, Up lord, Call me, Lazarus
Hey lord, Here me, Make ready, My fill
You oughtta hear my long snake ... Moan!
You oughtta see me crawl my... Moan!
It's my voodoo working ( X4 )
We got up early,
washed our faces,
walked the fields
and put up crosses.
Passed through
the damned mountains,
went hellwards,
and some of us returned,
and some of us did not.
In the fields and in the forests,
under the moon and under the sun
another summer has passed before us,
and not one man has,
not one woman has revealed
the secrets of this world.
So our young men hid
with guns, in the dirt
I sowed a seed
Underneath the oak tree
I trod it in
With my boots I trampled it down
Grow
Grow
Grow
I sowed a rose
Underneath the oak grove
With my boots on the ground
Into the earth I trampled it down
Grow
Grow
Grow
Teach me how to...
Teach me how to...
Teach me, Mommy
How to grow
How to catch someone's fancy
Walker sees the mist rise
Over no man's land
He sees in front of him
A smashed up waste ground
There are no fields or trees
No blades of grass
Just unhurried ghosts are there
Hanging in the wire
Walker's in the wire
Limbs point upwards
There are no birds singing
The white cliffs of Dover
There are no trees to sing from
Walker cannot hear the wind
Far off symphony
To hear the guns beginning
Walker's in the mist
Rising over no man's land
In the battered waste ground
I live and die through England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching from the country
That I love
England
You leave a taste
A bitter one
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never failing love for you
Dear darkness
Dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover
Me again?
Dear darkness
Dear
I've been your friend
For many years
Won't you do this for me?
Dearest darkness
And cover me from the sun
And the words tightening
The words are tightening
Around my throat
And, and...
Around the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tightening
Around the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tightening
Dear darkness
Dear darkness
Now it's your time to look after us
'Cause we kept you clothed
We kept in business
When everyone else was having good luck
So now it's your time
Time to pay
To pay me and the one I love
With the worldly goods you've stashed away
With all the things you
Hey I'm one big queen
No one can stop me
Red light red green
Sat back and watching

Nothing can touch me

Promises, promises
I'm feeling burned
You taught me a lesson
I didn't want to learn
Why did I come here?
Please tell me again
Why did you ask me?
Don't say you forget
I long for, I long for
I long for my home
I long for a land where
No man was ever known
With no neurosis
No psychosis
No psychoanalysis
And no sadness
I'll pick up the pieces
I'll carry on somehow
Tape the broken parts together
And limp this love around
Oh love, you were a sickly child
And how the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around
In the desperate kingdom of love
Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through
The desperate kingdom of love
There's another who looks from behind your eyes
I learn from you how to hide
From the desperate kingdom of love
At the end of this burning world
You'll stand proud, face upheld
And I'll follow you, into Heaven or Hell
And I'll become, as a girl
I'm coming up man-sized skinned alive
I want to fit I've got to get
man-sized I'm heading on

I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me in the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening, the mess we're in
The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me
Night and day
I dream of
Making love to you now baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway, reminding of
This mess we're in
The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me
What were you wanting?
I just want to say
Don't ever change
And thank you
I don't think we will meet again
I really must leave now
Before the sunrise
Above skyscrapers
The sin and
This mess we're in

Instrumental
Put the pen
To the paper
Press the envelope
With my scent
Can't you see
In my handwriting
The curve Of my g?
The longing
Who is left that
Writes these days?
You and me
We'll be different
Take the cap
Off your pen
Wet the envelope
Lick and lick it
I need you
The time is running out
Oh baby
Can't you hear me call?
It turns me on
To imagine
Your blue eyes
On my words
Your beautiful pen
Take the cap off
Give me a sign and I'd come running
It's you
As soon as I'm left alone
The devil wanders into my soul
And I pretend to myself
And I pretend to myself
I go out
To the old milestone
Insanely expecting
You to come there
Knowing that I wait for you there
That I wait for you there
Come!
Come!
Come here at once
Come!
Come
On a night with no moon
Because all of my being is now in pining
All of my being is now in pining
What formerly had cheered me
Now seems
Insignificant
he should not be here
he's just too big
in a cloud please come down
I'd put stars at your feet
put Mars at your head
show yourself to me
and I'd believe
I'd moan and I'd weep
fall silent at your speak
I'd burst in
full to the brim
Mary lost her head

Jesus come closer
I think my time is near
and I've travelled over
dry earth and floods
hell and high water

Catherine liked high places
High up on the hills
A place for making noises
Noises like the whales
Here she built a chapel with
Her image on the wall
A place where she could rest and
A place where she could wash and listen to the wind blow
She dreamt of children's voices
And torture on the wheel
Patron-Saint of nothing
A woman of the hills
She once was a lady
Of pleasure and high-born
A lady of the city
But now she sits and moans and listens to the wind blow
I see her in her chapel
High up on the hill
She must be so lonely
Oh Mother, can't we give
A husband to our Catherine?
A handsome one, a dear
A rich one for the lady

walking on water

walking on for years and years and years
taking it into my head
living by the right lines
reading what the very man said

lying on eleven years
taking it into my head
mary mary drunk it soft
living reading what your very man said
lying on eleven years
taking it into my head
leave my clothes on the beach
i'm walking down into the sea
to prove it to me
to prove it to me
to prove it to me
now the water to my ankles
now the water to my knees
think of him all waxy wings
melted down into the sea
mary mary what your man said
washing it all over my head
mary mary hold on tightly

I'm walking in the city tonight
I'm walking in the city at dark
Remembering, remembering light
Thinking of nothing, and the shooting stars
And this world tonight is mine
A world to be remembered in
Think on a daded photograph
My hair longer than it's ever been
and then the sky lit up
The sky, my friend
And I'm lighter than I've ever been
I saw the trees crossing the moon
I saw the stars in the Heaven above
Shine on my own beautiful prayer
Shining on my own beautiful love
The sky lit up
And I'm dancing with him
In this city and in this town
I don't care what he's thinking of
Just take the car, just take my hand
Hit her with a hammer
Teeth smashed in
Red tongue twitching
Look inside her skeleton
My fingers sting
Where I feel your fingers have been
Ghostly fingers
Moving my limbs
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Daddy's in the corner
Rattling his keys
Mommy's in the doorway
Trying to leave
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Oh God I miss you
Above the mountain
The mountain
An eagle
Is flying
High above the mountain
An eagle calling down
To the soldier who falters
The soldier on the ground
By the mountain
I feel nothing
For in my own heart
Every tree is broken
The first tree will not blossom
The second will not grow
The third is almost fallen
Since you betrayed me so
Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
How the world just turns & turns
How does anybody learn?
Mummy, put your needle down
How did you feel when you were young?
Cos I feel like I've just been born
Even though I'm getting on
How the world slips by so fast
How does anybody last?
As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running
Flowers I can do without
I don't wanna be tied down
White material will stain
My pocket knife's gotta shiny blade
I'm not trying to cause a fuss
I just wanna make my own fuck-ups
I'm not trying to break your heart
I don't need no rising moon
I don't need no ball and chain
I don't need anything but you
Such a shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
Shame is the shadow of love
You changed my life
We were as green as grass
And I was hypnotized
From the first 'til the last
Kiss of shame, shame, shame
Shame is the shadow of love
I'd jump for you into the fire
I'd jump for you into the flame
Tried to go forward with my life
I just feel shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
Shame is the shadow of love
If you tell a lie
I still would take the blame
If you pass me by
plants and rags
ease myself into a bodybag
plants and rags
ease myself into a bodybag
i dreamt of a man
he fed me fine food
he gave me shiny things

house and home
who thought they could take away that place?
outside, and they lead us out quietly
lead us outside, and the lead us out quietly
house and home
who thought they could take away that place?
outside, and they lead us out quietly
He's seen me
So clearly
Come over
And get my number
He'd come round
He'd break down
Say baby
Don't ever leave me
He'd please me
He'd tease me
One time too
One time too many

Did you see her walking?
Did she come around here, Sir?
Black hair, brown eyes
My beautiful Leah
She was always so needing
Said, 'I have no-one'
Even as I held her
She went out looking for someone
She only had nightmares,
And her sadness never lifted
And slowly over the years
Her lovely face twisted
Did she come around here, Sir?
I swear you would remember
Black hair, brown eyes
Late September... October,
November,
December
It never leaves my mind
The last words she said
'If I don't find it this time,
oh my lover
don't you know it's alright
you can love her
you can love me at the same time
much to discover
i know you don't have the time but
oh my lover

so it's alright
what's that color
forming around your eyes
watch my lover

just another
before you go...go away
oh my lover
why don't you just say my name
and it's alright

I wanna bathe in milk
Eat grapes
Robert DeNiro sit on my face
I can't sleep for thinking
Set my head a reeling
I wanna go to Spain
Spend nights
Just sipping on nectar and ice
No, I can't sleep for thinking
Set my head a reeling
Living in a horse race
Wanna make the shit hit the fan
No, I can't sleep for thinking
Set my head a reeling
Even Aphrodite
She got nothing on me
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Take me to the moon...
Die my hair on stage
Reeling
Reeling
Even Aphrodite
She'll have nothing on me
Reeling
Reeling
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Take me to the moon...
Reeling...

Joy was her name
A life un-wed
Thirty years old
Never danced a step
She would have left these red hills far behind if not for her condition
"Would have left these red hills far behind if not for my condition"
Pitiful Joy
She looked away
Into a hollow sky
Came face to face
With her own innocence surrounding her until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating, now she cannot move, no question
No hope for Joy
No hope or faith
She wanted to go blind
Wanted hope to stay
"I've been believing in nothing since I was born, it never was a
How could that happen?
How could that happen again?
Where the fuck was I looking
When all his horses came in?
And he built a whole army
Of kamikaze
10,000 willing
Pilots flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Built an army
To come and find me
Beyond all reason
Beyond all my hopes
The call of duty
Another war zone
(Makes me moan)
Kamikaze - you can't touch me, kamikaze
Eight miles high
He walks his path
And I follow mine
One tooth for one eye
He's come to find me
10,000 willing
Pilots flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Here is his army
Interspace here we come
Kamikaze-you don't touch me
oh you're divine
oh you're divine
oh did I tell you you're divine
oh did I ever when you were alive
did it hurt when you left
did it another boy I'll feed the head
I'll bet you never thought I'd try
your mouth, my love, was open wide
singing oh you were going to be my life
damn it
oh you were going to be my life
did you sing 'happy day'
singing it
sing it that time I went away
got to ease my aching head

no other way cut off your legs oh
hey oh
did you ever wish me dead
oh lover boy I'll feed the head

how will you ever walk again
and I, I might as well be dead
You think you'll come over
I'll give you my number
You lover, supporter
Then give me a mother
You come take me home and
Take me to your doctor
You think you'll come over?
I think I'm a mother
Roll over, roll over
And roll me a man-a
You lover, my lover
You just roll me over
You give me a mother
A man if I love her
I love her, I'll keep her
I'll let her just keep her
Come on and support her
I said to the mother
She said you come over
She said she'd support her
I love her, I kept her
And then she just left and
Alone, I emplore ya
I think I'm a mother
I was blind I was pained
I was nothing till you came
you said babe make you sing
make you feel like some queen
said I'll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine
Lord he hooked me
fish hook and line
and rolled in like him back
with a halo of deep black
til my love made me gag
called him daddy take my hand
said I'll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine
good lord he hooked me
fish hook and line
I'm hooked
I'm too far

to your home and mine
lord he hooked me
fish hook and line
said I'll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine
good lord he hooked me
The beauty of her under electric light
The beauty of her under electric light
Tears my heart out every time
Dawn there waiting, right outside
Dawn there waiting, right outside
She tears my heart out every time
Siren rising across the sky
Sirens rising across the sky
Tell him I'm driving, it's alright
Turnin' on this wheel
Turnin' on headlights
A hundred different Bibles by my side
In my white gown
I go flying down
Oh my eyes, it cannot be
He said, "No, it cannot be"
(It cannot be)
All that time it cannot be
(That time, it cannot be)
Easy said, it cannot be
(No, it cannot be)
Ghosts fly their asses off tonight
I'm just driving till it dies
Tell him I'm driving, it's alright
You tell him that I had a skin full
You tell him that I couldn't sit still
Imagine your whole self is filled with light
Your voice ringing out
Through the whole fucking town
Oh my eyes it cannot be
He said, "No, it cannot be"
All that time it cannot be
Oh my eyes, it cannot be
You tell him I'm driving
(Oh)
You tell him I'm driving
(Oh)
You tell him I'm driving
(Oh)
You tell him I'm driving
flying I'm flying
hitting heavens high
I'm head on brake too low
floating I'm floating
hanging below the sea
I'm telling you love could mean ecstasy
I'm in ecstasy
singing I'm singing
sounding hanging breathe
I'm begging you love could mean ecstasy
I'm in ecstasy
stand under fountain
cool skin, washed clean
wash him from me
along comes the wind
the big bone shaker
blows off my clothes
completely naked
what to do
when everything's
left you
out of the blue
it is he
vision to me
bearing leaves
petals green
covers me
and all my shame
hand in hand
he's my big man
stays with me
some forty days
no words
then goes away
i cry again
on my hill i wait for wind
and on my hill i wait for wind
and on my hill i wait for wind
and on my hill i wait for wind
and on my hill i wait for wind
Please don't reproach me
For, for how empty
My life has become
I don't what really happened
I watched your disappointment
At being misunderstood
I forgive you
Something metal
Tearing my stomach out
If you think ill of me
Can you
Can you
Forgive me
Forgive me
Can you
Can you
Forgive me
I tried to learn your language
But fell asleep half undressed
Catherine De Barra you've murdered my thinking
I gave you my heart, you left the thing stinking
I'd break from your spell if it weren't for my drinking
And the wind bites more bitter with each light of morning
I envy the road, the ground you tread under
I envy the wind, your hair riding over
I envy the pillow your head rests and slumbers,
I envy to murderous envy your lover
'til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breathe
I envy...
Oh my Catherine
for your eyes smiling
and your mouth singing
with time I'd have won you
with wile I'd have won you
Farewell my friends
Farewell my dear ones
Farewell this world
Forgive my weakness
Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to evening parties
Remember me
In the spring
To work for your bread
Soon you must leave
Remember your family
Work for your children
I don't need much
And the older I become
I realize
My friendships
Lord carry me over
Any course of distance
Any cause of sorrow
My friends that last
Will dance one more time
With me
I don't need much
He got lucky one time
Hitting with the girl in room 509
She turned her back on him facing the frame
Said, "Listen Joe, don't you come here again."
White sun scattered all over the sea
He could think of nothing but her name, 'Elise'
God is the sweat running down his back
The water soaked her blond hair black
It's a perfect day Elise
He got burned by the sun
His face so pale and his hands so worn
Let himself in room 509
Said a prayer, and cried,
Love me tenderly my darling
In the city of light and truth
For this moment forever sing
For my darling that i love you
City of no sun
No peace in my heart
You left me nothing
You left me broken
What's ...
What's ...
What's ...
Love me
Love me
Outside the fields
In sunlight
The singing breeze
And the silence
Lover release me
I can't feel i can't breathe
No heart no peace
No more nothing
Long day long night
Love rise
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
It's been so long, I've lost my taste
Say angel come, say lick my face
Let fall your dress, I'll play the part
I'll open this mouth wide eat your heart
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
Lips cracked dry, tongue blue burst
Say angel come, say lick my thirst
It's been so long, I've lost my taste
Here Romeo make my water's break
In my glass coffin, I'm waiting
In my glass coffin, I'm waiting
In my glass coffin, I'm waiting
Here I am Prarieland
Got it all got gun in hand
Here I sleep dungarees
They're all my husband put it on me
We have the stars
We have the trees
We have everything
We need to feed
I'll make babes, you'll make chairs
We'll sell them at the county fair
We'll walk on, we'll walk tall
We'll dance once a week at the union hall
We'll have the stars
We'll have the trees
We'll have everything
We need to feed
Here I am Prarieland
I've got it all, I got gun in hand
I'll sweep the porch, I dust his room
We'll sleep together on our chair at noon
We'll have the stars
We'll have the trees
We'll have everything
We need to feed
We'll have the stars
We'll have the trees
We'll have everything
Plants and rags
Ease myself into a bodybag
Plants and rags
Ease myself into a bodybag
I dreamt of a man
He fed me fine food
He gave me shiny things
I dreamt of a man
He fed me fine food
He gave me shiny things
White and black
You looking for the sun, boy?
The sun doesn't shine down her
No no no
White and black
You looking for the sun, boy?
The sun doesn't shine down her
In the shadows
House and home
Who thought they could take away that place?
Outside, and they lead us out quietly
Lead us outside, and the lead us out quietly
House and home
Who thought they could take away that place?
Outside, and they lead us out quietly
Lead us outside, and they lead us out quietly
Look out ahead
I see danger come
I wanna' pistol
I wanna' gun
I'm scared baby
I wanna' run
This world's crazy
Give me the gun
Baby, baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I'm with you
But I wanna' pistol
In my hand
I wanna' go to
A different land
I met a man
He told me straight
'You gotta' leave
It's getting late'
Too many cops
Too many guns
All trying to do something
No-one else has done
Baby, baby...
I walk on concrete
I walk on sand
But I can't find
A safe place to stand
I'm scared baby
I wanna' run
This world's crazy
Gimme' the gun
Sometimes I can see for miles
Through water and fire
From England to America
I feel life meet my eyes
And it's the best thing
A beautiful feeling
A smile from San Diego
He is still a boy
Two ends to every rainbow
And a train from Mexico
But he's the best thing
A beautiful feeling
And when I watch you move
And I can't think straight
And I am silenced
And I can't think straight
My first name Angelene
Prettiest mess you've ever seen
Love for money is my sin
Any man calls, I'll let him in
Rose is my colous, and white
Pretty mouth, and green my eyes
I see men come and go
But there'll be one who will collect
my soul and come to me
Two thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two thousand miles away
It lays open like a road
Dear God, life ain't kind
People getting born and dying
But I've heard there's joy untold
Lays open like a road in front of me
In the night I look for love
Endless strength from the man above
God of piston, god of steel
God is here behind the wheel
I'm just working....For the man
Pretty things get in my car
Take them flying, it's not far
Take in handsome, take in me
Look good in my steel machine
I'm just working ... For the man
Don't you know yet who I am
Working harder for the man
Go around I'm doing good
Get my strength from the man above
I'm just working ... For the man
I'm just doing, What I can
and they came to the river
and they came to the road
and he wanted the sun
just to call his own
and they walked on the dirt
and they walked from the road
'til they came to the river
'til they came up close
Throw your pain in the river
To be washed away slow
and we walked without words
and we walked with our lives
two silent birds
circled by
Like our pain in the river
and we followed the river
and we followed the road
and we walked through this land
and we called it home
but he wanted the sun
and I wanted the whole
and the while light scatters
and the sun sets low
and he was walking in the garden
and he was walking in the night
and he was singing a sad love song
and he was praying for his life
and the stars came out around him
he was thinking of his sins
and he's looking at his song-bird
and he's looking at his wings
there inside the garden
came another with his lips
said, 'Won't you come and be my lover?'
'Let me give you a little kiss?'
and he came, knelt down before him
and fell upon his knees
said, 'I will give you gold and mountains
if you stay a while with me...'
and there was trouble taking place...
there inside the garden
they kissed, and the sun rose
and he walked a little further
and he found he was alone
and the wind, it gathered round him
he was thinking of his sins
he was looking at his song-bird
and he was looking at his wings
In the forest, is a monster
It has done terrible things
So in the wood, it's hiding
And this is the song it sings
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"
(Who will love me now?)
Who will forgive and make me live again?
Who will bring me back to the world again?
In the forest, is a monster
And it looks so very much like me
Will someone hear me singing?
Please save me, please rescue me
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"
(Who will love me now?)
(Who will ever love me?)
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?

I went up to the deep Northwood
Because of fire was in my hair
Thinking of her face, I left
The way she looked as I left her there
Her words still ring in my ears
Thrill is gone after all these years
I went out to the deep Northwood
Because of fire was in my hair
Thinking of her face, I left
The way she looked as I left her there
Her words still ring in my ears
The thrill is gone after all these years
Our love gets thrown away
He went out to the deep Northwood
Left a fire rage in my hair
Thinking of
I'm walking outside and
The headlights are blinding
I'm walking on Bleaker
The street of no cheer
The yellow cabs driving
I'm taking a ride and
The panic, the laughter, the stink of disaster
Disaster
Disaster
Disaster
The faster
The faster
I'm breathing
The further
I'm sinking
My head aches
My mouth dry
It feels like
It's war time
The heat and
The traffic
There's hell on
This planet
It's spinning
Much faster
Disaster
Disaster
Disaster
Disaster
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
Let's walk now
On side roads
Let's walk in
The shadows
There's lovers
They're kissing
I see something missing
He's ready
To take her
I don't even
Rate her
Loving and loving
I hear
The flies buzzing
Faster
Faster
Faster
Faster
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
Keep walking
Keep walking
The dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
Said Betty she's fine
And Betty she's torn
And Betty makes love
Like woman at all
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep
But oh my eyes
Making fools out of me
They say love is blindness (They say God forgives)
I could no longer see (But I can't learn the same)
Now I've no more to give
And I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
In photographs
I've seen him laugh
Man overboard
Sun on his back
Summer was here
I remember it well
How he stood in the shade
How we both kissed and fell
How can this be?
There's nothing left here
How can this be?
There's nothing left here
So sad our
So sad our
So sad our
So sad our
Our memory
Now he talks in his sleep
Says I've never known peace
And I don't know him now
He's a stranger to me
How can this be?
There's nothing left here
How can this be?
There's nothing left here
We were
Never more than a dream
Brief as
Summer or spring
Sweeter than anything
She lay
Breathing
Sunshine
Between
Time here
Lingers
Trace with
My finger
A circle, a circle
'Round the sun
The sun X3
No more
Laughter
Since the
Black come
But head down
Get high
Up there's
Blue sky
And a circle, a circle
'Round the sun
The sun X3
Time here
Lingers
Can trace with
My fingers
A circle, a circle
'Round the sun
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw it all happen, take place
At my window, I was looking down
I had no time, just time to say
Hold on, I'm coming
And he was lying there, it's all just too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw a fall and it all take place
At my window, I was looking down
See people, you can't be safe
Hold on, I'm coming
It's moved on now, and it all passed, and it's all too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw it all with my own eyes
Saw it all as clear as day
Clear as blue, blue fucking daylight
I say
Hold on
I'm coming
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Hold
On
No
More
Hold on
No more
Hold on, I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Pushing up daisies out of the ground
Thought I heard him call her name
By the time he hit the ground
Another day, another town
Another body on the ground
By the time the sky was grey
Nobody down, nobody came
I said
Oh lord
No more
Oh lord
No more
Oh lord
I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late
I'm walking slowly, about the sea
Lover by lover, I pass them on the beach
The sun is shining, so bright today
Your voice is singing to me, across the waves
Ah
There's a young boy, makes eyes at me
Does he mouth my name, or is this just a dream?
I know inside that I can really love
The waves are glistening, like heaven from above
And here we'll stay
And sing forever of peace
I know we found love here by the sea
Could this be heaven, could this be peace
No more than sunshine and sand and waters deep
I'd always dreamed that life could be like this
Forever high and sigh from kiss to kiss
I know I've found love here by the sea
I'm Nina
I feel love
I'll be safe
I'll be yours
Ever more
I'll be safe
Mama
Once Nina
Was a young girl
Now she's dead
Grew older
Grew colder and
Lost her way
Mama
Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone?
Where's Your mama gone?
Far, far away
Far, far away
I need a man
To bring me love
To make me sing
I said I need a man
To make me feel
Like I'm a queen
I said to take me to the god heights
And kiss the devil on the mouth
I need a man
To make me moan
To make me bad
I need a man
To drive me slow
To drive me mad
I said to take me to the god heights
And kiss the devil on the mouth
To leave me, oh no no no no
I need a man
His heart is stone
His mother's bad
I need a man
His heart is stone
The deepest black
His heart is stone
His mother's bad
His heart is sick
The deepest black

I'm lying in the sun
I'm lying with my love
Into his blackened hair
I swear I saw dove
He is the one like god
Comes clear before my eyes
I'm kneeling on the ground
My love it tastes like wine
Come on and step inside
Come on and step inside
I'm lying in the sun
I'm lying with my love
Into his blackened hair
I swear I saw a dove
Losing ground
Under my feet
There's a low rumbling
There's a crack in the street
It's just no good
It's just no good anymore
Everything I do
Has been done before
Yeah I found my voice
Yeah I got nothing to say
The whole thing started
Cause my mind has gone away
I used to get high
Now I just get lost
I used to bark at the moon
The first one I came across
Almost here
Almost gone
Almost here
Almost gone
Almost where
We belong

My lord
Long time coming

Burning whole body desire

Words leave my heart dry
Words can't save life
Love has no place here
No joy, no tears
Darling, time's changed
Time leaves, time fades
Please see through my eyes
Save your tears for the next who dies
I shout but he don't hear
I put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Just send me the light of day
I shout but he don't hear
Just put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Dear god please send me the light of day
Feel his heart wired
Heart like gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire
I believe i am here to stay
I believe his son was sent to save
The fun zone is here
Right free so
Take me one more time X3
I don't believe that i gotta die some day
Please take me one more time
And i remember everything
Sunrise on a blue horizon
With you, your hand in mine
I remember the things you said
Said, "i'll be waiting, wait thru it all,
Be there to catch you, after the fall
Run through the red light, out of my hair
Run from the darkness here to the day
And i dream of running
And in the dream i myself could run
And i feel the ground beneath my feet
And i move like music,
You move me, like music
Head out of my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "i'd be there"
Now i'm treading very carefully
And i hope that i don't scream
And i hope that i don't fall
Off your bridge, crossing over
Sunny mountain, swollen riverfall
You said "i'd be there"
You said "i'd be there"
Through it all
Head out of my way
Head of to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
All over my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
P.J Harvey :
I was lost in love
I was lost inside
'Till he said to me
You've gotta lovely smile
And i'm saved
Saved
And i'm saved
And i'm saved
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part
P.J Harvey : Heal me with his hands / J. Parish : ? {she ...}
P.J Harvey : Heal with his heart / J. Parish : She was a ... girl, she
got her hair done nice
P.J Harvey : When he said to me / J. Parish : She said "i've given all i
got to my healer man
P.J Harvey : No no we'd never part / J. Parish : He put his hands on me,
showed me what i am"
P.J Harvey / J. Parish : And I'm saved

Well, God said to Abraham "Kill me a son"
Abe said "Man, you must be putting me on"
God said "No"
Abe said "Wha?t"
God said "You do what you want to, Abe but
The next time you see me coming, you'd better run"
Abe said "Where do you want this killing done?"
God said "Out on that Highway 61"
Well, Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard "Where can i go?"
Howard said "There's only one place i know"
Sam said "Quick man, tell me, i got to run"
Howard just pointed with his gun
He said "that way down on 61"
"Well, Mack the finger" said Louie the King
"I got 40 red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that won't ring
You know where I can get rid of these things?"
And he said "Now let me think for a minute son"
Said "Yes that can be easily done
Just take them down on that 61"
That highway

Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
"My complexion" she said "is much too white"
He said "Come here and stare up into the light"
And said "Mmm you're right. Let me tell the second mother it's been done"
But the second mother with the seventh son
They were out on that highway 61
Now, the roving gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next world war
And he found a promoter, fell on the floor
And said "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yep, I think it can be easily done"

you salty dog you filthy liar
my heart it aches I'm in the fire
you snake I ate a true belief
good lord your fruit's inside of me
oh Adam please you must believe
that snake put it in front of me
that snake put it in front of me
It starts at daylight
I see him
Before my sad eyes
I hear him breathing
Oh lover, need you to lead me
No never thought that you'd leave
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
No words can
Heal my heart
Inside I'm broken
Now it's done
Was she a pretty girl
Does she have pretty hair
Was she soft-spoken
Was there a love there
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies
Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies
Lies
I need your light
Darling love lies
And if you gave it to me
I'd hold it in the palm of my hand
Like a good luck charm or a vice
And I'll reach up like a child to receive it
There is no more sad
There is no more leave
I've got sun on my back
I'm in love again
Take me inside
Your war love light
And if he took me
I'd hold him up to the light
Like a god, or a good luck charm, or a vice
And I'd open up like a child to believe it
There is no more sad
There is no more leave
I've got sun on my back
I'm in love again
But still you can't give your peace to me
In came the girl with the sad eyes and
asked him over again
'Was I too weak? Was I a child?' and
'Can't we leave here and start again?'
Said, 'I don't mind if you take me down' and
'I don't mind if you break it at all', but
'How much more can you take from me?'
'How much more can you take from me?'
'I'd like to take you inside my head'
'I'd like to take you inside of me'
'You came from Heaven' is all he said,
'You came from Heaven and came here to me, and I love you...'
He drove it fast to make the night
and looked at his angel, where she lay
Resting her head, and closed her eyes
Outside the heat and the Summer fades
Deep in the sky, a storm he'd seen
Deep in the sky, a storm he'd seen
'There ain't nothing, no girl so sweet'
She lay
Breathing
Sunshine
Between
Time here
Lingers
Trace with
My finger
A circle
A circle
Round the sun
The sun
The sun
The sun
No more
Laughter
Since the
Black come
But head down
Get high
Up there's
Blue sky
And a circle
A circle
Around the sun
The sun
The sun
The sun
Time here
Lingers
Can trace with
My fingers
A circle
A circle
Around the sun

Speak I'm listening
Baby I'm your sweet thing
Believe what I'm saying
God's truth I'm not lying
I lie steady
Rest your head on me
I'll smooth it nicely
Rub it better 'till it bleeds
And you'll believe me
Caught out again
I'm calling you weak
Getting even
And I, I was joking
Sweet babe let me stroke it
Take, I give in
God's truth I'm not lying
And you'll believe me
I'm calling you weak
And I'll make it better
I'll rub 'till it bleeds
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
Stella Marie you're my star
Stella Marie you're my star
Stand on ground look up at her
Just hanging in gold stone
Just hanging there face froze
But I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go
Go
Go
Go go
Stella Marie you're my star
In your blue blue tavern
You light my lantern
O Stella's large
Pink on her face
It's glowing this place
A place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Go
Go
Go
Go go go go
Stella Marie you're my star
I pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now
I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go
Go
Go
Go go
Daddy hold me
It seems so very dark tonight
And day
Daddy, I can't sleep
I need you to come and sing to me
That the stars up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough it will be light
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry
Oh Daddy, your baby is weak and calling out your name
Oh my Daddy, oh don't leave me
I beg you, sing your song again
That the stars up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough it will be light
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry or call your name
And I won't
And I won't...
Sometimes I can see for miles
Through water and fire
From England to America
I feel life meet my eyes
And it's the best thing
It's the best thing
It's the best thing
A beautiful feeling
A smile from San Diego
He's still a boy
Two ends to every rainbow
And a train from Mexico
And he's the best thing
He is the best thing
He is the best thing
A beautiful feeling
And when I watch you move
And I can't think straight
And I am silenced
And I can't think straight
And it's the best thing
It's the best thing
The best thing
Such a beautiful feeling
Sixty six promises
Fell from your lips
Sixty six kisses to
Rest on my charred fingertips
And Sixty six lovers
To come till I tell
Sixty six postions to take on this
Well-worn trail
Sixty six magicians
Deliver the goods
Documenting our marriage for some
Silent film in Hollywood
Is it not what you thought it would be?
Was it not what you wanted it to be
Was I not what you thought I would be?
Was it not what you wanted it to be?
Sixty miles talking
But making no sense
A life out of liberty
And the pursuit of
Happiness
Waiting for something
To smash a few wholes
In the wall of good fortune
And the windows to an
Outer world
And sixty six promises
They came in a kiss
Provided a meaning
Now I see how it reallly is
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted ti to be
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted it to be
See it coming, At my head
I'm not running, I'm not scared
Big black monsoon, Take me with you
I'm not jerking, I won't hide
Yeah, I'm ready
Meet ze monsta tonight
Big black monsoon, Take me with you ... Ow!
What a monsta, What a night
What a lover, What a fight
Big black monsoon, Take me with you
Yeah it's coming, Out of this world
Yeah, I'm lucky
Lucky girl
Hell ain't half full, Take me with you
Baby, you got a bad bad mouth
Everything is poison that's coming out
Cheating, lying since the day you were born
Someone outta rinse it out with soap
Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out
No kind words are coming out of your mouth
Plenty goes in but nothing good comes out
Badmouth, sad mouth, you were an unhappy child
That doesn't make your lying tongue alright
Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out
Cos everything is poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
You're gonna be left alone
When you told me every word you'd said
Came from voices talking in your head
Baby, I just think you're out for what you can get
Your badmouth has killed off everything we had
Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out
Your lips taste of poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
You'll be in the corner crying
This wicked tongue says
God is a million miles away
This wicked tongue says
He can't see my day to day
This wicked tongue says
Go on, taste everything
And this wicked tongue says
You know you're not really living
And it stares into the sun
And it flies from star to star
Cursing everyone
In my ringing ears
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
So I asked her where's the heart?
In the rubbish heap of man
So I asked her where's the soul?
And the silence rang and rang and rang and rang and rang
So I stare into the sun
And I fly from star to star
Cursing everyone
In my ringing ears
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
And the noise is as much as I can bear
"I give up" he said
"I give up you win"
"Creation baby has failed again"
"I give up" he said
"I give up you win"
"Creation baby has failed again"
"Creation baby has failed again"
"Creation baby has failed again"
"Creation baby has failed again"
I need your lie, darling love lies
And if you gave it to me, i'd hold it in the palm of my hand
Like a good luck charm or a vice
And i'd reach up like a child to receive it
There is no more
There is no more
I got . . .
I remember
Take me inside your wall love lie
And if he took me, i'd hold him up to the light
Like a god, or a good luck charm, or a vice
And i'd open up like a child to believe it
There is no more
There is no more
I got . . .
. . .
There is no more ...
There is no more ...
I got . . .

Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
They pull out of here
They pull, they are free
Rode a horse around the world
Along the tracks of a train
Broke the record, found the gold
Set myself free again
I have pulled myself clear
Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
On the tracks of a train
Set myself free again
Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
But I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In Chinatown
Hungover
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world
And I feel like....
So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and Clyde
Do you remember the first kiss?
Stars shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind
I'm watching from the wall
As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight
And I draw a line
To your heart today
'To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe'
All through the rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only one
Who could have brought me here
And I draw a line
To your heart today
'To your heart from mine
Tie yourself to me
No one else, no
You're not rid of me
You're not rid of me
Night and day I breathe
Hah hah ay hey
You're not rid of me
Yeah you're not rid of me
Yeah you're not rid of me
Yeah you're not rid of me
I beg you my darling
Don't leave me
I'm hurting
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
I'll tie your legs
Keep you against my chest
Oh you're not rid of me
Yeah you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
I'm gonna twist your head off, see
Till you say don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
I beg you my darling
Don't leave me
I'm hurting
I've been lonely
Above everything
Above every day
I'm hurting
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Yeah you're not rid of me
Yeah you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
I'm gonna twist your head off, see
Till you say don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire

Jesus save me
Jesus save me
Can I tell you something
Can I tell you a story
It's about me and Billy
Because I remember
I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he ever owned, apart from me
And the colour was red
And the colour was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
I am over it now
It was spring or summer 65, I don't remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said
Jesus save me
Jesus save me
Inherited his father's hate, that's what he'd say
And he's cussed enough to strip the pain off heaven's gate
But somehow
He could make joy come loose inside
I would feel really, I would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him
He just wasn't enough
He was never enough
He'd turn to me and say
He'd, he'd say "Even the son of god had to die, my darling"
And he'd wanted everything
He wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
He used to make me
He used to make me pay
Hidden in the backseat, such a, Jesus
He'd make me pray
He wanted everything
He wanted all that means from the king
Say it!
"Even the son of god had to die my darling"
"C'mon say it!"
Jesus save me
Jesus save me
And I remember everything
Sunrise on a blue horizon
With you, your hand in mine
I remember the things you said
Said "I'll be your lady, way through it all
Be there to catch you, after the fall
Run through the red light, out of my hair
Run from the darkness here to the day"
And I dream of running
And in the dream I myself could run
And I feel the ground beneath my feet
And I move like music,
You move me, like music
Head out of my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "I'd be there"
Now I'm treading very carefully
And I hope that I don't scream
And I hope that I don't fall
Off your bridge, crossing over
Sunny mountain, Swollen riverfall
You said "I'd be there"
You said "I'd be there", through it all
Head out of my way
Head of to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
All over my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "I'd be there"
I believe I am here to stay
I believe His Son was sent to say
The fun zone is here
Right free so
Take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time
I don't believe
That I gotta die some day
Please take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time
I remember when I was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And I'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms and raced to the burning building out on the
pavement.
And I stood there shivering and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself "Is that all there is to a fire?, Is that
all there is?"
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And when I was twelve years old, my Daddy took me to the circus
'The greatest show on earth'.
And there were clowns and elephants, dancing bears, and a beautiful lady in pink
tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what but when it was all over I said to myself "Is that all there is to
the circus?"
Is that all there is?"
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We'd take long walks down by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each
other's eyes.
We were so very much in love and then one day he went away and I'd thought I'd die,
but I didn't.
And when I didn't, I said to myself "Is that all there is to love?"
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep…
I know what you must be saying to yourselves if that's the way she feels about it,
Then why doesn't she just end it all.
O no, not me, I'm not ready for the final disappointment
Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
That when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
I know what I'll be saying to myself "Is that all there is?"
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
I was lost in love
I was lost inside
Till he said to me
You've gotta lovely smile
Now I'm saved
Saved
Now I'm saved
Now I'm saved
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no, we'd never part
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no, we'd never part
Oh she feel as though she hit upon paradise
She was a hoola girl, she got her hair done nice
She said "I've given all I got to my healer man
He put his hands on me, showed me what I am"
And I'm saved
When I got my healer by my side
And I'm pushing daylight, pushing night
When I got the healer by my side
And I'm pushing daylight, pushing night
Words leave my heart dry
Words can't save life
Love has no place here
No joy, no tears
Darling, time's changed
Time leaves, time fades
Please see through my eyes
Save your tears for the next who dies
I shout but he don't hear
I put down on a page
Darling spare me your tears
Just send me the light of day
I shout but he don't hear
Just put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Dear God, please send me the light of day
I can feel his heart wired
Heart like gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire
Love me tenderly my darling
In the city of light and truth
For this moment forever sing
For my darling that I love you
The city of no sun (city of no sun)
No peace (no peace)
In my heart (no joy in my heart)
You left me nothing (with nothing)
You left me broken (broken)
Once sad (sad)
Once greed (greed)
Once said (he loved me)
He loved me (he loved me)
He loved me
Outside the fields
In sunlight
The singing breeze
And the silence
Lover release me (lover release me)
I can't move I can't breathe (I can't move I can't breathe)
No heart, no peace (no heart, no peace)
No more nothing (nothing, peace, love me)
Long day, long night (long day, long night)
Too long, love lies (too long, love lies)
Love lies
Blue now is the colour
Love the drug I'm needing
Got to keep this feeling
With the headlights burning
We're looking up for something
Answers on the ceiling
Watching out the windows
Watch the way the wind blows
Soon it will be morning
Still the question lingers
I twist it round my fingers
Could you be my calling?
See this winged boy falling
Falling out of something
Hits the drug I'm needing
Arrows that he's turning
Need to keep this feeling
Slow drug in the morning
With the headlights burning
Looking up for something
Something that we're needing
Still the question lingers
I twist it round my fingers
If I could tell you anything
I would tell you something
If you, if you could miss it
That's the loop
It can be broken
That's the loop
It can be broken
If I could tell you anything
If you, if you could allow it
If you, if you could hear me
That's the change
Changes can happen
That's the loop
It can be broken
That's your heart
It can be open
That's the loop
It can be broken
That's the change
Changes can happen
That's the look
It can be broken
That's your heart
It can be open
That's the loop

Speak to me of universal laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around me people bleed
Speak to me your song of greed
Speak to me of your inner charm
Of how you'll keep me safe from harm
I don't think so, I don't see
Speak to me of your inner peace
Little people at the amusement park
City people in the dark
Speak to us, send us a sign
Tell us something to keep us trying
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed
Speak to me the language of love
The language of violence, the language of the heart
This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Just give me something I can believe
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
On a rooftop in Brooklyn
One in the morning
Watching the lights flash
In Manhattan
I see five bridges
The empire state building
And you said something
That I've never forgotten
We lean against railings
Describing the colours
And the smells of our homelands
Acting like lovers
How did we get here?
To this point of living?
I held my breath
And you said something
And I am doing nothing wrong
Riding in your car
Your radio playing
We sing up to the eighth floor
A rooftop, in Manhattan
One in the morning
When you said something
That I've never forgotten
When you said something
People throwing dinars at the belly-dancers
In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil
People throw belongings, a lifetime's earnings
Amongst the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk
Take palms and orange and tangerine trees
With eyes that are crying for everything
(Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn)
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
So I talked to an old man by the generator
(Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn)
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
He was standing on the gravel by the fetid river
(Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn)
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
He turned to me and answered, "Baby, see"
(Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn)
Said, "War is here in our apartment, let it sleep"
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
(Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn)
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
So I jumped in at the river head and tried to swim away
(Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn)
Through tons of sewage, they had written on their foreheads
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
Take palms and orange and tangerine trees
(Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn)
With eyes that are crying for everything
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
(Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire)
White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you
White chalk sat against time
White chalk cutting down the sea line
I know Mary's by the surf
On a path cut 1500 years ago
And I know these chalk hills will rot my bones
Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
Where I walked
(Our unborn child in me)
White chalk
(Poor scattered land)
Scratch my palms
The ceiling is moving
Moving in time
Like a conveyor belt
Above my eyes
When under ether
The mind comes alive
But conscious of nothing
But the will to survive
I lay on the bed
Waist down undressed
Look up at the ceiling
Feeling happiness
Human kindness
The woman beside me
Is holding my hand
I point at the ceiling
She smiles, so kind
Something's inside me
Unborn and unblessed
Disappears in the ether
This world to the next
Disappears in the ether
One world to the next
We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
And somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night
I was in need of help
Heading to black out
'Til someone told me run on in honey
Before somebody blows your goddam' brains out
You shop-lifted as a child
I had a model's smile
You carried all my hopes
Until something broke inside
But now we float
Take life as it comes
So will we die of shock?
Die without a trial
Die on Good Friday
While holding each other tight
This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
We just kind of lost our way
But we were looking to be free
But one day we'll float
Can you hear them?
The helicopters?
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me
In the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening
The mess we're in and
The city sun sets over me
Night and day
I dream of
Making-love
To you now baby
Love-making
On-screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise
Over the river
The freeway
Reminding
Of this mess we're in and
The city sun sets over me
What were you wanting?
I just want to say
Don't ever change now baby
And thank you
I don't think we will meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sunrise
Above skyscrapers
The sin and
This mess we're in and
Baby, you got a bad bad mouth
Everything is poison that's coming out
Cheating, lying since the day you were born
Someone outta rinse it out with soap
Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out
No kind words are coming out of your mouth
Plenty goes in but nothing good comes out
Badmouth, sad mouth, you were an unhappy child
That doesn't make your lying tongue alright
Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out
Cos everything is poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
You're gonna be left alone
When you told me every word you said
Came from voices talking in your head
Baby, I just think you're out for what you can get
Your badmouth has killed off everything we had
Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out
Cos everything is poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
How to walk and where to run
How to walk and where to run
I see you kissing other peoples arms
I see you kissing in cheap bars
How to walk and where to run
How to walk and where to run
I see you kissing oblivious
Love ain't only your pain
I'm walking in oblivion
Walking in oblivion
I walk with a child's face
Remembering our days
Walking in oblivion
Walking in oblivion
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
Today is the day
To all the men whom I've loved
To all the men whom I've loved
Something to free your angry hearts
I'm opening up my arms
To all the men whom I've loved
To all the men whom I've loved
Speak of the fear inside
It's time to change, there still is time
Do you remember walking?
Do you remember watching?
Our faces in the falling hearts of children
To all the men whom I've loved
To all the men whom I've loved
I dedicate my song saying
"Today is the day, today is the day"
So we fall and we fall again
And I have come to tell you today
That I loved you there's still time to save
The falling hearts of our children
Through hating and loving
Through lucking and nothing
Through a manner of sorrows
That I have spoken
I open up my tender heart
I open up my tender heart
To all the men whom I've loved
All of those who I adored
But I remember something
I remember walking
When my heart was frozen
With that feeling
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
Turning round and round saying
Today is the day, today is the day
So we fall and we fall again
And I have gone to tell you today
That I loved you there's still time to save
The falling hearts of our children
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
Falling, yeah
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, I've looked far
To bring peace to my black and empty heart
My love will stay till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows
Cause I've cried days. I've cried nights
For the lord just to send me up some sign
Is he near? is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
So long day. so long night
Good lord, be near me tonight
Is he near? is he far?
It starts at daylight
I see him before my sad eyes
I hear him breathing
Oh lover, need you to lead me
No never thought that you'd leave
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
No words can heal my heart
Inside i'm broken, now it's done
Was she a pretty girl
Does she have pretty hair
Was she soft-spoken
Was there a love there
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies
Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies
Long goes the night
Longer the day
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave
I learned to beg
I learned to pray
Send me his love
Send him to me again
Let me ride
Let me ride
Let me ride on his grace for a while
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for a while
Long goes the night
Longer the day
Teclo your death
Will send me to my grave
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on his grace for a while
Let me ride
Let me ride
Just let me ride on your grace for a while
Jesus save me
Jesus save me
Can i tell you something
Can i tell you a story
It's about me and billy
Because i remember
I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he ever owned apart from me
And the color was red
And the color was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
I'm over that now
It was spring or summer 65 i don't remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And i could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said
Jesus save me
Jesus save me
And everybody's father is hated for what he was saying
And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape this summer
He'd reluctantly cut loose inside
I would feel really i would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him,
It just wasn't enough
It was never enough, he'd turn to me and say
He'd, he'd say "even the son of god had to die, my darling"
And he won everything
He won everything
he'd ...
Jesus!
He'd make me pray. . .
Even the son of god had to die my darling
Come on, say it!
Jesus save me

Lover had to leave me
Cross the desert plain
Turned to me, his lady
Tells me "lover wait"
Calling jesus, please
Send his love to me
Oh, wind and rain may haunt me
Look to the north and pray
Send me, please, his kisses
Send them home today
I'm begging, jesus, please
Send his love to me
Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell
Mommy, daddy, please
Send him back to me
How long must I suffer?
Dear god, I've served my time
This love becomes my torture
This love, my only crime
Lover please release me
My arms too weak to grip
My eyes to dry for weeping
My lips too dry to kiss
Calling, jesus, please
Send his love to me

The scent of Thyme carried on the wind
Stings my face into remembering
Cruel nature has won again
Cruel nature has won again
On Battleship Hills caved in trenches
A hateful feeling still lingers
Even now 80 years later
Cruel nature, cruel, cruel nature
The land returns to how it has always been
Thyme carried on the wind
Jagged mountains, jutting out
Cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth
On Battleship Hill I hear the wind
Say, "Cruel nature has won again"
Cruel nature has won again
Cruel nature has won again
My naked cousin
I see him running
All over headland
Scared as a chic-chicken
His naked skin fries
Fries in the sun, oh my
My naked cousin can cook
Till he's good, good and done
I hate his smell
And I hate his company
But most of all I hate
That he looks just, just like me
Skin always melting, fries in the sun
He can cook, cook his brains out
Till they're good and good and
Good and done
He's running
He's running
He's running
He's running
He run from burning bushes
He run from bank of senate
He run from every thing
That upsets his master plan
And and if he flips
And I am as good as done
My, my naked cousin, I know
He'll just keep, keep a-running
He's running
He's running
He's running
He's running
Running naked through the trees
Scared the shit right out of me
Bought my ticket, take my ride
Take me to the sunny side
Running naked through the trees
Scared the shit right out of me
Bought my ticket, take my ride
Begging all to please, please, please
Please, please, please
Please, please, please
I remember when i was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And i'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement
And I stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to a fire ? "
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And when I was twelve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to the circus ? "
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day
He went away
And i thought i'd die
But I didn't
And when I didn't
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to love ? "
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep
I know what you must be saying to yourselves
If that's the way she feels about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. i'm not ready for the final disappointment
'Cause I know just as well as i'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And i'm breathing my last breath
I know what I'll be saying to myself
" Is that all there is ? "
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball

I caught it in the face
coming around again
I thought it was worth waiting
you're caught up in my head
wet sides from time to time
but mostly I'm just dry
you leave me dry
you leave me dry
you leave me dry
you've come all this way
no hair out of place
you put it on the stage
you put right in my face
you leave me dry
you leave me dry
you leave me dry
no water well in sight
no water on my size
I'm sucking on the well
I'm sucking 'till I'm white
but you leave me dry
you leave me dry
you leave me dry
you leave me dry
I lost my heart
under the bridge
to that little girl
so much to me
and now I moan
and now I holler
she'll never know
just what I found
that blue-eyed girl
(that blue-eyed girl)
she said no more
(she said no more)
that blue-eyed girl
(that blue-eyed girl)
became blue-eyed whore
(became blue-eyed whore)
down by the water
(down by the water)
I took her hand
(I took her hand)
just like my daughter
(just like my daughter)
see her again
(see her again)
Oh help me Jesus
come through the storm
I had to lose her
to do her harm
I heard her holler
(I heard her holler)
I heard her moan
(I heard her moan)
my lovely daughter
(my lovely daughter)
I took her home
(I took her home)
little fish, big fish, swimming in the water
Louis was my dearest friend
Fighting in the ANZAC trench
Louis ran forward from the line
I never saw him again
Later in the dark
I thought I heard Louis' voice
Calling for his mother, then me
But I couldn't get to him
He's still up on that hill
20 years on that hill
Nothing more than a pile of bones
But I think of him still
If I was asked I'd tell
The colour of the earth that day
It was dull and browny red
I heard our song on the radio
It wasn't long before I think of you
Can't get the sound outta my head
Don't look now it's coming round again
I saved your voice from the telephone
I play it back on the message machine
It really sounds like you're having fun
I'm going out into the midday sun
Come night, I'm gonna step outside
Take a walk, I'm gonna clear my mind
The radio, still playing our song
You got me jumping like a cat on the wall
Turn up the radio
They play the radio in my dreams
Takes me back to when I was 17
Dancing in circles on the kitchen floor
Death was everywhere,
in the air
and in the sounds
coming off the mounds
of Bolton's Ridge.
Death's anchorage.
When you rolled a smoke
or told a joke,
it was in the laughter
and drinking water
it approached the beach
as strings of cutters,
dropped into the sea and lay around us.
Death was in the ancient fortress,
shelled by a million bullets
from gunners, waiting in the copses
with hearts that threatened to pop their boxes,
as we advanced into the sun
death was all and everyone.
Death hung in the smoke and clung
to 400 acres of useless beachfront.
A bank of red earth, dripping down death
now, and now, and now
in the air
and in the sounds
coming off the mounds
of Bolton's Ridge.
Death's anchorage.
Death was in the staring sun,
fixing its eyes on everyone.
It rattled the bones of the Light Horsemen
still lying out there in the open
as we, advancing in the sun
One day
I know
We'll find
A place of hope
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Walk tight
One line
You're wanted
This time
There's no-one to blame
Just hold on to me
And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing } come on my love
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing
I walk
I wade
Through full lands
And lonely
I stumble
I stumble
With you
I wait
To be born
Again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me
Now is the time to follow through, to read the signs
Now the message is sent, let's bring it to its final end
