A box arrived this morning
Its reason was unspoken
It was signed and sent with deadly seal
The box said "Do Not Open"
It stood there in the hallway
And arrested my attention
I paced the floor and pondered why
The box said "Do Not Open"
And still I wondered,
"Will temptation get the best of me again?"
It was just the very thing I wasn't
Wishin' to be ownin'
A package sent to Waseley Hills
The box said "Do Not Open"
Seven lonely days went by
I wasn't really copin'
It soon consumed my every thought -
The box said "Do Not Open"
And still I wondered,
"Will temptation get the best of me again?"
Frozen there in terror, I
Could hardly have been hopin'
Through an omen of my comin' doom,
The box said "Do Not Open"
An image of repulsion
I saw the premonition
It filled my frightened mind and still,
The box said "Do Not Open"
And still I wondered,
"Will temptation get the best of me again?"
I couldn't stand the torture
And approached the thing in question
I ripped away the seal
The box, it lay there open
And there I was, a sorry man
All doubled up and chokin'
With bleedin' hands and withered nails,
The box, it lay there open
And it looks like

One step, two step, three we met
this was a daydream i never forget
the bells rings, the sirens died
we succeed to fail whenever we try
Now that you tempt me into the grass
it's growing so long, it's moving too fast
for every blade growing over my eyes
i slow it all down but can't see the skies
I lay down to rest in the shade
there's only one way to walk this maze
you don't get lost, you only get tired
this wilderness winds on for miles
Now that you tempt me into the grass
it's growing so long, it's moving too fast
for every blade growing over my eyes
i slow it all down, i can't see the skies
As i arrived at the garden path
nothing there but an empty glass
i cross my heart and i hope to die
how did this question pass me by
Although you tempt me in the past
i solved a riddle of the empty glass
for every blade growing over my eyes
i slow it all down, i can't see the skies

Like a river I
Keep on rolling
Twist and turn to the sea
In the morning I
Wander blindly
On the hot summer breeze
Like a seagull in the sun
Today I'm moving on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Like a seagull into the sun (Into the sun)
Into the sun (Into the sun)
There's no sunhine
In a dark room
There's no time to sit and cry
There's no sorrow
There's no valours
When I look into the sky
Like a seagull in the sun
Today I'm moving on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Like a seagull into the sun (Into the sun)
Into the sun (Into the sun)
Like a seagull in the sun
Today I'm moving on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Like a seagull into the sun (Into the sun)

Nothing seems right
Except for the music at night
A change in the season
It comes like a thorn in my side
Lost in a maze (2x)
I looked for you, I was invisible too
Sleep in on Sunday
Avoiding the pale afternoon
Deep in an dream (2x)
But nothing seems right
Except for the music at night
When I awoke
I saw a face in the smoke
Chilled by the evening
Caught up in the undertone
I call your name (2x)
Out of the blue
That's when you walk in the room
A shift in the darkness
You ask me if I still want you
Of course I do (2x)
But nothing seems right
Except for the music at night
Nothing seems right
Except for the music at night
A change in the season
It comes like a thorn in my side
Lost in a maze (2x)
But nothing seems right

Sheriff John Brown just wandered into town
Looking for a cripple and a thief
A black man and a woman and a lonesome guy like me
Just trying to raise the stakes so we can be free
The dustballs were blowing the sun it cracked the ground
Where could a crime like this ever be found
Good people of the town said to sheriff John Brown
Go and shoot those invalids right down
I said Sheriff no don't you be cruel it could happen to you now
What exactly have they done said sheriff John Brown
For me to shoot those poor old bastards down
Then outstepped the preacher with his hand upon his heart
Can't you see that I've been chosen by god
And I tell you this for nothing
That crowd ain't no good
They're standing out just like a sore thumb
But yes I do agree said the lawyer on the left
I'd kill them now if it were up to me
But I said sheriff don't be cruel it could happen to you now
Out into the wilderness the sheriff he did ride
Heading for the river bridge the laws you must abide
Two hours became three, I knew he would come for me
The day grew long and I began to tire
John Brown's face appeared from behind the fire
Boys and girls whatcho doing gonna be so free
The people of the town talk dissapprovingly
Don't want to take you in, thats not up to me
I said sheriff don't be cruel it could happen to you now
But guilt and doubt they cloud his mind
He thought what exactly is the law
He didn't even know what it stood for
And who pays the cost for all that is lost
Seems to me an impossibility
And who says whats right and who says whats wrong
Who benefits it sure ain't me
And outstepped the woman saying we mean you no harm
Come closer and I will read your palm
But I said sheriff no don't you be cruel it could happen to you now
That night he left a long road came back without a rest
Knowingly he questionned ??? lawyer on the left
Bet you've gone and set them sinners free
Well yes replied the sheriff they done nothing wrong
My god why can't you people see
And the preacher shot him down and his head it hit the ground
The last you'll ever see of poor John Brown
And the moral of this tale it is simple it is plain
People always need someone to blame
But I said sheriff no don't you be cruel it could happen to you now

Down to the glen where the roses twine
Lie in the grass watch the time go by
The hum drum mid-afternoon sun
Only his mothers only son
Black Jack tarmac dirt dust trap
Sister certain wrapped in rags
Whispers words of unwished schemes
Steals a smile from the scorpions dream
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
We're out of sight
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night
Blood red love not temptress eyes
Cuts right through the family ties
Lighthouse lights the locust nest
Salem's site invites incest
Back to the glen where the roses twine
Treacle tarts and turpentine
Patron saint of guillotines
A secret's safe when no-one sees
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
We're out of sight
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night

We'll set sail again
We're headin' for the Spanish Main
We'll set sail again
We're headin' for the Spanish Main
We'll set sail again
We're headin' for the Spanish Main
We'll set sail again
We're headin' for the Spanish Main
We'll set sail again
We're headin' for the Spanish Main
We'll set sail again
We're headin' for the Spanish Main
We'll set sail again
We're headin' for the Spanish Main
We'll set sail again

Morning comes darkness drops
Upon this day a shadow falls
Silence walks through the halls
Since I've been gone, gone, gone
A hundred years from today
Lamplights ablaze? paves my way
Till jesus saves my early grave
I will be gone, gone, gone
Drop the anchor lift my heart
From stem to stern I'm torn apart
Mount my horse? pack my cart?
Tomorrow I'm gone, gone, gone
Seek the hull? leave the deck
Silver moon silhouette
In due time you will forget
That I am gone, gone, gone
I will be gone, gone, gone
Since I've been gone, gone, gone

Venom cable, wicked tongue
Zoo keeper, iron lung
Venom cable, poisoned pout
Tarantula, burning blouse
Ooh oooh...
Venom cable, emergency
Magnetic simplicity
Venom cable, maggot brain
Wrap the world in cellophane
Ooh oooh...
Venom cable, venom cable

The operators came and took me away
They took me away
Everybody laughed
Remember the day they took me away
I don't know what they're looking for
Don't think i'll ever know
They laid me on the bed
Drilled my head
The incision bled
Put wires in my brain
Every now and again
I remember a name
And as i drift away
Into my hiding place
A maze of alleyways
Where the cameras cannot see
The operators came and took me away
They took me away
Everybody laughed
Remember the day they took me away
Remember the day they took me away

Sail lightly on winds
Disappear on the breeze
Lie firmly on pins
Pull them out with ease
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most intricate locks
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks
Fumble blindly as we speak
You will wither if you are weak
Finger turns and points at me
I'd hoped they wouldn't notice me
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most intricate locks
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Skeleton Key (x4)
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most intricate locks
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks
Oh yeah
That's more like
Here we go here we go
Here we go go Byker Grove
Can't believe it's so good

Here's a tale of my true love
Fair and free was she
Wasn't I just like tonight
she stole my liberty
Ooooh
Like a flower in the spring
Words don't mean a thing
Like the ocean greets the sand
Beyond my own command
Ooooh
But then she warned me
She'd have to go
(And I'd ?) be left to show
Accept the feeling and then I'll know

She'll watch the sky as it fades into black
Walks with the lovers that never came back
The princes and kings
All the beautiful things
And more
She won't wait, she'll never look back
Through the fog where the mirrors have cracked
She slides through a dream
With all her beautiful schemes
And more
Ref:
She's got a reason to roam wit the stars
Watch her go as she sings
Dum dum da da da da (4x)
Love is gold, time is a thief
She's the river that runs to the sea
with her arms open wide
Her sorrow, her smile
And more
Still she wanders soaked to the bone
The road she's on, well it won't lead her home
To the place where she cried
For the stranger inside
And more
She'll watch the sky as it fades into black

This town's on fire
But the world,
It don't make a sound
Her golden hair
Lights the sky,
When she's comin' around
She's on the outside,
I'm lost in the crowd
She's on the inside, now
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
But she's a stranger to me now
The moon hangs high
And the wild night
Comes out to play
Was it a dream,
A wish,
Or something I couln't say?
She's on the outside,
I'm lost in the crowd
She's on the inside, now
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
But she's a stranger to me now
Is she lookin' for somethin'?
Somethin' that can't be found?
Look in the mirror, now
She's comin' around
She's comin' around

Up on Kill Devil hill
The sand dunes are still
It ends as it begins
December 1903
A buzzard on the breeze
The coin will see who wins
I said it's heads or tails
Bicycles for sale it's time to go
But now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago
It was three days later
In a web of wire
Or so it seems
Up on Kill Devil hill
The sand dunes are still
Picture the scene
I watched their plans unfold
In the morning cold
The world will know
But now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago
If that's you over there
You can laugh you can stare
Well i don't care
I'll just say heads or tails
Bicycles for sale it's time to go
But now it seems so long ago
But now it seems so long ago
But now it seems so long ago

Sweet Sue
Things you making me do
Sweet sweet Sue
Can't get enough of you
Sweet Sue

Held her in my arms tonight
Sweet life

Sweet sweet life
It's where I'm gonna be found

Held her in my arms tonight
Know a little girl like that
Sgonna break my heart
Sgonna leave me sad
Held her in my arms
Know a little girl like that
Sgonna break my heart
Sgonna leave me sad

In the beggar's house of wasted thoughts I saw you
You took my hand, led me to another land
Down past the old picture house we wandered
With no time to be proud, I have to decide now
If I should follow the sorrow or the song
Where do I belong?
The sorrow or the song?
The sorrow or the song?
How the thought of you clings to me like
How the thought of you clings to me like
A haunting school yard memory waiting
I'll have to wait turn, sit and watch them burn
The prison wall, the music hall, the tower clock
Is watching over town, I'll have to decide now
If I should follow the sorrow or the song
Where do I belong?
The sorrow or the song?

Out in the field when the first has been born
Folks sing a song, song of the corn
Late in the day when the secrets are sworn
Folks tell a tale, tale of the corn
I heard a commotion one late afternoon
Someone was singing a funeral tune
As I lay watching them hoist up the cross
Something was burning, something was lost
Could you believe what the scarecrow had seen
Folks come to fall down to their knees
Rumours of strangers been buried alive

Wild fire, I desire to be loved
Climb higher, to a platform just above
Little liar, you decieve me
With your wit elocution, sculptured perfectly to fit
Tug of war, with the blessing and the mud
Please let me quiz you, rest assured but unplugged
Town cryer, has our voices kindly bugged
Wild fire, I desire to be loved
Daddy calling see how they run
Mummy calling see how they run
?????? see how they run
?????? stories see how they
See how they
Run run run
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Wild fire, sifting signal out the times
It has been turned up, in deception all round
Soap and water, wash your mouth out
All the same, she's my daughter

Why do I listen to sad songs
To make me feel good when I know I've done wrong
What have I done wrong is it in this song
I guess I'll know before to long
But I can't understand
Why she's holding my hand
No I can't understand at all
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
Got to keep on holding on
Another day and I'll try to hide
The endless pain and the tears I've cried
Feels like I'm fixing to die
She took my soul and she blew my mind
But I can't understand
Why she's holding my hand
No I can't understand at all
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
Got to keep on holding on for you
But I can't understand
Why she's holding my hand
No I can't understand at all
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run

Talkin’ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
Talkin’ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
Got to have them gypsy boots
Followed them by familiar root
Rambled round from town to town
Sleeping in a doorway as still as a mouse
Saw the bullfighters last stand
I've been drinking dust
I've been kicking cans
All my family, they went home
Let me in Portugal, all alone
Thought I saw that caravan
But it was just a car park man
Said to me as I stood in line,
There's nothing in the world as sad as time
Well if nothing comes to nothing
Then what's the point?
I sat right down and I built my joint
Flat caps they just pass me by
The dust pneumonia left me dry
Talkin’ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
Talkin’ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
3 days later when I awoke
My dust filled lungs could hardly cope
Realised I was not alone
I was in the old car park man's home
Looked out the window at the local scenes
One the ledge were some grilled sardines
Then through the door in came the maid
Said Maria was her name
Long dark hair and copper skin
Washed away my seven sins.
Said senor what's this bad news
Told her of my gypsy blues
Maria laughed and said your cute
You don't need no gypsy boots
Picked myself up off the floor
I don't need them boots no more
I don't need them boots no more
I don't need them boots no more

Something inside of me
Feels like i've been wanting you forever
There'll never be another century
There's no time to think about the weather
When there's something inside of me
Something inside of me
Something inside of me
And now i can't look back
The invisible invasion
It's like a stranger strangled on the moor
Into the void for now i'm gone
Five in the morning i'll be knocking at your door
With something inside of me
Something inside of me
Something inside of me
And now i can't look back
Oh please don't cut me loose
I know you think that i'm bullet-proof
Can't you see that it's hurting me
What do think i'm supposed to be when
There's something inside of me
Feels like i've been wanting you forever
There'll never be another century
There's no time to think about the weather
When there's something inside of me
There's something inside of me
Something inside of me

Your good fortune's gonna come to you
Obscure and lonely's only half the truth
Downright upright here comes the night
Here we go again so hold on tight
See the stars will pass the moon
Head back home for the afternoon
Men will sit upon the grass
Watch present turn to past
And hope this day will last
Your misfortune's gonna stop and say
Church and peers and musical chairs
Hop skip tooth pick money to burn
Timbuctoo that's where we will turn
See this sand??? turn to dunes
Head back home for the afternoon
Men sit beneath the waves
And watch the coral caves
And hope this day is saved
Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run
Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run
Your good fortune's gonna come

Deal not the truth till you find the proof
And feel not the weight (wait?) can you step today
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been
Deal from the path and place it on the stack
Pick out the card that's been there from the start
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been

As you awake
You know whats at stake
You're cursed by the land
On which you be stand
The further you walk
Your mind starts to talk
She say goodbye
As yourself why
Open your eyes
Fear's on the run
Here's your disguise
Follow the sun
Open your eyes
Fear's on the run
Here's your disguise
Follow the sun
Oh we live to die
Ask ourselves why
Or could they just lie
.........deny
..............
It's marbled by fear
it's creeps oh so near
...........
Open your eyes
Fear's on the run
Here's your disguise
Follow the sun
Open your eyes
Fear's on the run
Here's your disguise
Follow the sun
Open your eyes
Fear's on the run
Here's your disguise
Follow the sun
Open your eyes
Fear's on the run
Here's your disguise
Follow the
Follow the
Follow the
Follow the
Follow the

This is an educational talk about flies
Ichneumon flies deadly killers
Collectively catching caterpillars
Hatching their eggs in the wounds of the wounded
Beg, beat or steal from whomever he chooses
Wooooh Ooooooh
Worker wasp familiar infact
Three sided needle illiterate cats
Sharp-toothed mandibles that work in the grooves
Insects protect and don’t often like to loose

I walked by the window
And stopped in the light
I stood there watching
The fireflies
Went down to the ocean
In search of a song
Wherever I'm going
That's where I belong
Fireflies fly on by
You will never ever see me cry
You won't see me cry
You won't see me cry
Sand [Incomprehensible]
Appear on the shore
If you ask for nothing
You'll get nothing more
I walked by the window
And stopped in the light
I stood there counting
The fireflies
Fireflies fly on by
You will never ever see me cry
You won't see me cry
You won't see me cry
Fireflies fly on by
You will never ever see me cry
You won't see me cry
You won't see me cry
I'm watching fireflies, watching fireflies
I'm watching fireflies, watching fireflies

Where did you go?
Waiting by the rocks
Stories never told
When you cried out loud
It never made a sound
Away from the towns
And far from the crowd
Gold, silver and gold
Waiting by the rocks
Shivering cold
Like Miranda said
Life's not for the dead
Away from the sounds
And far from the crowd
Where did you go?
Waiting by the rocks
Stories never told
One forgotten day
Sadly passed away
Into the ground

Rain rain go away,
Leave me here alone again,
Where weary eyes and hollis tales,
Play heavy on my mind
Rain rain don't dismay,
Come back on a better day,
Where weary eyes and hollis tales,
I've left them all behind.
Some say I'm a fool,
See me on a beggars stool,
But all my truths are lied and all
My secrets have been told,
Rain rain go away,
Come back on a better day,
When all my lies are gone,

Well I went to a movie with a girl last night
Dressed like a cow but she looked so fine
Bought my ticket just in time
Sat right up close like she was mine
But then it seemed so sad
I never felt that bad
But then I caught her eye
An innocence that tell's no lie
I came into the light and out of the dark
It turns out that I was really a calf
Oh I've been a fool for oh so long
But how can all of theses people be wrong
But then it seemed so sad
I never felt that bad
But then I caught her eye
An innocence that tell's no lie
But then it seemed so sad
I never felt that bad
But then I caught her eye
An innocence that tell's no lie

What's up with my heart when it skips a beat (skips a beat)
Can't feel no pavement right under my feet (under my feet)
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I don't want you now
When I'm down and my hands are tied (hands are tied)
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line (draw the line)
From this pain I just can't disguise (can't disguise)
Its gonna hurt but I'll have to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I dont want you now
Oh yeah
Ohhh Ohhhhh
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but

Inside the Butterfly House
The wind blows in
From the pier
The Punch and Judy stand
Before you, the it disappears
I dim the lights
And tell your fortune
We'll be there soon
In the Butterfly House
Back to the sea
A ship comes in
To a half moon town
Hear the towers fall
And watch dreamland
Burn to the ground
I dim the lights
And tell your fortune
We'll be there soon
In the Butterfly House
Long ago
When the music played
From the steeple
To the bay
Time went by
In the warm summer sky
As we walked
Free of loneliness and doubt

Pretty pendent, descendents of joy
return the father to the boy
Resent your past, repent at last
we are only lines on a map
Calenders and clocks and hickory docks
Find a feeling that feels okay
Find another to blow it away
Who are you and who am I
Please don't ask me, I'll break down and cry
Calenders and clocks and hickory docks
Nothing more than the sea shells on the sea shore
Nothing more than the churchbell that rings no more
Nothing more than the scenes behind the closed door
Nothing more than the rich the penniless poor
Nothing more, no nothing more
Calendars clocks and hickory docks (tick tock)
Calendars clocks and hickory docks (tick tock)
Yeah (repeat 5x)
Calendars clocks and hickory docks

A warning to the curious
A message for the meek
It's better not to be in love
Than to be in between
You, if I never had you
Then I wouldn't feel the way I do now
If I never had you
It was just a joke you said
But now I'm warning you
On whose grounds do you dare to tread
When all your plans fall through?
You, if I never had you
Then I wouldn't feel the way I do now
If I never had you
A warning to the curious
A message for the meek
It's better not to be in love
Than to be in between
You, if I never had you
Then I wouldn't feel the way I do now
If I never had you
If I never had you
If I never had you
If I never had you

The day that you came, you'd gone so fast
That alas I had someone to blame for the sad sunken tone
The sparrows lonely morn? that cried silently
Through every sleepless day that (?) carries me away
To a faraway place where I can dream

Oooh...
Waiting for a thousand years
Sailing on a thousand tears
Seasons in your mind,
Colours they change
With the passing of time
You'll find your way
You'll find your way...
Oooh...
Waiting for a thousand years
Sailing on a thousand tears
Signs set in stone
Follow the river
Wherever she flows
You'll find your way
You'll find your way...
A new day has begun,
Now that you're standing
In the warmth of the sun
You'll find your way

I've got something to tell you
But I can't find the words
I could have sworn that I have told you
You said you never heard
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
Just you and me
I had so much to say
But my mouth it went dry
For my thoughts were on display
I've laid down and died
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
Just you and me
Ooohh...
I've got something to show you
But my actions let me down
All the words I had to tell you
Were nowhere to be found
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing
It was nothing

Wildfire, I desire to be loved
Climb higher to a platform just above
Little liar, you deceive me
With your wit elocution, sculptured perfectly to fit
Tug of war with the blessing and the mud
Please let me quiz you, rest assured but unplugged
Town crier has our voices kindly bugged
Wildfire, I desire to be loved
Daddy calling, see how they run
Mother calling, see how they run
Monday morning see how they run
Counting stories see how they
Run, run, run
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Wildfire, sifting signal out the times
It has been turned up, in deception all round
Soap and water, wash your mouth out
All the same, she's my daughter

Witchcraft, it's her hobby
She has put a spell on me
Witchcraft, through and through
Black is the poison of her brew
How do you do
Your voodoo
Like you do
Witchcraft, seduced is she
Who is possessed by perversity
Witchcraft, who knows best
In the end someone confessed
How do you do
Your voodoo
Like you do
Witchcraft, don't pretend
When your down she'll be your friend
Witchcraft, all is lost
Now's the time to burn the cross
How do you do
Your voodoo
Like you do
How do you do
Your voodoo

It's six in the morning
And theres noone else around
The mist has fallen
As i look out on the town
It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
It's too close for tears
And it too hard to forget
It's too close for tears
I think i thought i said
It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.
The face in the mirror
It's a face ive never met
Until i forgive her ill remember to forget
It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.
And the hours, they build
From underneath the spell, once again
It's 6 in the evening
And im sweeping up the day
The people beneath them
But i am here to stay
It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
Whos gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?

We went walking in the winter
It was the coldest
Time of year
It's where I handed you a letter
You turned around
I disappeared
It said someday
I'll find my way
And we'll go walking
In the winter
It's so hard to make a living
When the world
Is so unkind
But it's not something
That you're given
It's something that
You've got to find
It said someday
I'll find my way
And we'll go walking
In the winter
It's o.k. to close your eyes
Those silver sailing ships
Go sailing by
It's all your mind
It's gonna be alright
This time
[Instrumental]
Seasons change
Into summer
Fires burning in the dark
I hope sometimes
You read my letter
And know I had to
Play my part
It said someday
I'll find my way
And we'll go walking

Two faces of a girl
I used to know
One for where she stays
One for where she goes
Two faces side by side
One's like fire, one's like ice
Both for show
But what do I know?
All alone...
Two faces of a girl
Inside a dream
One's for love
And one's for mystery
Two faces in the night
One's the shadow,
One's the light
Both for show
But what do I know?
All alone...
Two faces of a girl

The oldest path beneath the grave
Lies a myth that's still the same
There ain't no way to make a change
Till Kings and Queens have walked in chains
And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the anwser
To everywhere they have been
Sailors tossed by stormy seas
All in the name of slavery
Arm in arm, toe to toe
Sometimes your bestfriend is your foe
And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the anwser
To everywhere they have been
Side by side their pasts in disguise
Together alone as he greeted the tide
And on the water knees lay the thoughts of
A hundred sunken shackle bound souls
And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the anwser

Time travel will be the death of man
Only the devil fools with the best laid plans
The best laid plans best left unplanned
Time travel will be the death of man
Whats done is done
So you must see
You can't bring back
Whats already been
Technology's tempting the public eye
Do you wanna know why when who and why
We're cloaked in indicision
Consealed by lies
I wanna know why we're really alive
Well you might say we got no proof
There's one thing I know
Is that I'm younger than you
And I can see through your eyes
And I can see through your lies
hypocrisy is your only disguise
Better tell us why we're really alive
Time travel will be the death of man
Only the devil fools with the best laid plans
The best laid plans best left unplanned
Time travel will be the death of man
In my darkest day
I thought this through
A change in the weather
Could be made by you
And all the information
You're holding back
Is it hidden in the water
That runs from my tap
When few had the proof
That Jesus Christ
Was no more of a man than you or I
Would you tell the people?
Would you try to deceive?
For fear of undermining
Their religious belief
Well there's a war going on!
It's obvious one!
It's between magic and medecine
Time travel will be the death of man
Only the devil fools with the best laid plans
The best laid plans best left unplanned
Time travel will be the death of man

Only see you in the summertime
When the weather's fine
You disappear when the cold wind blows
Creep inside my mind
Then I realize
There's no one waiting for
The wish we made by our window
Never left my side
Saw you walk across the lonely tracks
Far beyond my eye
? from The Golden Bough
To the mountainside
I watched you running with the buttercups

Simon Diamond sold his soul
Changed his name by deed poll
Started out as Simon Russell
Lived his life inside a nutshell
Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh
He couldn't take the public scorn
Changed from human to plant form
Now he swapped his legs for roots
His arms and soil are in cahoots
Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh
What will become of Simon Diamond
Water himself
Can't change the climat
What will become of Simon Diamond
Water himself
Can't change the climat
Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh
That'll do (That'll do) (16x)

A secret kiss,
Reminded me of what I miss,
Some kind of forgotten bliss,
On this summers eve,
Though the seasons deceive.
Corrupt my honesty,
You still make me believe,
Is this the rock,
That your daring me to cross,
Down the river to the docks,
That's where we'll meet,
Where the pale light creeps
Into her majesty
You still make me believe
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)
Can't get away (so far away)
So far away
But that's alright
But that's alright
Jewels and pearls,
And all the wonders of the world,
Mean nothing until I return,
In time for tea,
Sit on my settee,
Lost in my memories,
You still make me believe,
You make me believe,
You make me believe,

See my love as she walks out the door
Hang my head and I stare at the floor
Then I think about the stars in the sky
Pins in the curtain if not so high
Now she's gone out alone on the shore
I shoulda locked my bedroom door
When I look up I can't believe my sight
My vision's strangled by the hands and eye
Ba ba ba ba, can't you see I'm crying
Ba ba ba ba, there's no denying
When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at
When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at
See my love as the morning breaks
Am I asleep or am I awake?
What is happening, how did we get here?
Am I a leaf of a tree of tears
Ba ba ba ba, can't you see I'm crying
Ba ba ba ba, there's no denying
When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at
When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at
See my love as she walks out the door
Feels like I've been here before
Now my feelings are laid on the shelf
She whispers softly as .... (?)
Ba ba ba ba, I can see you're crying
Ba ba ba ba, still no denying
When I'm not there, you don't know if I care
When I'm not there, you don't know if I care at all
When I'm not there, you don't know if I care
