In physical geography, a dune is a hill of sand built either by wind or water flow. Dunes occur in different forms and sizes, formed by interaction with the flow of air or water. Most kinds of dunes are longer on the windward side where the sand is pushed up the dune and have a shorter "slip face" in the lee of the wind. The valley or trough between dunes is called a slack. A "dune field" is an area covered by extensive sand dunes. Large dune fields are known as ergs.
Some coastal areas have one or more sets of dunes running parallel to the shoreline directly inland from the beach. In most cases the dunes are important in protecting the land against potential ravages by storm waves from the sea. Although the most widely distributed dunes are those associated with coastal regions, the largest complexes of dunes are found inland in dry regions and associated with ancient lake or sea beds.
Dunes also form under the action of water flow (alluvial processes), and on sand or gravel beds of rivers, estuaries and the sea-bed.
Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. The composition of sand is highly variable, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz.
The second most common form of sand is calcium carbonate, for example aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life like coral and shellfish. It is, for example, the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years, like the Caribbean.
In terms of particle size as used by geologists, sand particles range in diameter from 0.0625 mm (or ⅟16 mm) to 2 mm. An individual particle in this range size is termed a sand grain. Sand grains are between gravel (with particles ranging from 2 mm up to 64 mm) and silt (particles smaller than 0.0625 mm down to 0.004 mm). The size specification between sand and gravel has remained constant for more than a century, but particle diameters as small as 0.02 mm were considered sand under the Albert Atterberg standard in use during the early 20th century. A 1953 engineering standard published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials set the minimum sand size at 0.074 mm. A 1938 specification of the United States Department of Agriculture was 0.05 mm. Sand feels gritty when rubbed between the fingers (silt, by comparison, feels like flour).
She's waking up
The mirror says
That her hairs
Getting far too long
A coffee cup
To start the day
Better make sure
It's good and strong
To get her through
Got things to do
And now that the clock says eight
Can't be late, so hit the brakes
Lost all your friends, they'd had enough, couldn't watch
While you killed yourself
And you pretend you gave them up
For a lifetime of cars and wealth
Misunderstood, don't feel so good.
Another the clock says eight
Can't be late so hit the brakes
[Instrumental]
Space exploration is a noble thing
It's a noble thing if we'd only try
Arranging mountains is just mud and water
It's just mud and water and the passing of time
Overcome just a little high on a hillside
With the sun in my eyes
Overcome just a little free from the city
With the snow at my side
Walked the street as it becomes a river
And the cars are shining in the morning sun
Travel sideways [Incomprehensible]
And all those rocket man days are over and done
Overcome just a little high on a hillside
With the sun in my eyes
Overcome just a little free from the city

Of course London's a big place.
It's a very big place, Mr Shadrack. A man could lose himself in London. Lose himself. Lose himself. Lose himself in London!

A redwood tree, the radio
They moved them down the hall
A beauty queen from Idaho
Was broken in the fall
Never write a love song
Never write a trip hop
Never write a ballad
Got to get a grip now
'Cause nothin' ever matters
If you hide away from it all
In twenty years this place will be
Just like L.A. today

The comic from the U.S.A.
Dream ticket for a Saturday
Saw an ad for a day-glo skeleton
Hey Dad, had a go about getting them
You never there when I needed you
You never lent me a hand or two
And when you did, you weren't much use
You didn't even know what a zipcode was
I never really saw the apes
Just said I did to save my face
Not impressed with my watch radio
Weighs a tonne and it ain't stereo
I never cried when Elvis died
Told you I did but hey, I lied
Bought into X-ray vision
Then music, sex, religion
You never there when I needed you
You never lent me a hand or two
And when you did, you weren't much use
You didn't even know what a zipcode was
You didn't even know what a zipcode was
[This songs is in two separate parts, with the song Tankerville segued between them.]
Western wind, / when will thou blow? /
Let the snow rain down, May(?) rain. /
Oh that my love / were in my arms / and I in my bed / again.
[Tankerville sits here.]
Western wind, / when will thou blow? /
Snow rain down, hey, rain. /
Oh that my love / were in my arms. /
Western wind, / when will thou blow? /
Snow rain down, hey, rain. /
Oh that my love / were in my arms. /
Western wind, / when will thou blow? /
Snow rain down, hey, rain. /
Christ, that my love / were in my arms
[instrumental.]
Like a birthday card / from a previous year, /
the weather in Chayco / is sparkling and clear. /
The girl lies in bed, / the boy sits in the yard. /
He wants to talk sleep / but he has to keep guard. /
She stirs from her sleep / and she calls for a beer; /
he knows there are none / and pretends not to hear. /
She hears his breath / like she's heard it before. /
She cuddles her sheets / as he slips out the door. /
God had derailed / the Lonestar train /
that can take her away / from sadness and pain. /
He acts like a saint / but the strain really shows; /
The boy scouts of America / taught him all that he knows.

Last Thursday
5 30
A shoot in Ladbroke Grove
Hours later
Hey waiter
Could you pour some more of those
All for you
And when I'm all alone
I'm by the microphone
I see your photograph
Don't even want to laugh
Some secret
Must keep it
Hey I wouldn't know who to tell
Next morning
Fair warning
Ooh you have you got something to sell
Wide awake
The cold cold light of day
Realise my taste
My taste just slips away
I say my taste just slips away
Days later
Saw the paper
How did I fall for you
All for you...

";Anyway, let's get on - are you ready? Finger, you put your finger on the thing, that's it, right... let's have a look at today's Countdown conundrum!";
[The track is an instrumental]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

I'm thinking of them, I'm thinking of your new green dress
I saw it unfold on my plain near Bepindton Fair
Tall sycamores, your raven hair
I saw it so slow through the tall grass
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I'm thinking of them, I'm thinking of streams
Through the air the night was so long and dizzy
Let's travel again to fall upon three chimneys
Rays of light upon the gown to bathe,
Greys, the dust that settles upon the ballastrade
I, I'm opening my eyes,
To find sun in my morning
(Sun in my morning,
This is what I see.)
Sun in my morning.
(Sun in my morning,
Shining down on me.)
Made a list of things to do today,
What a shame,
The morning breeze just blew It all away.
I, I'm opening my eyes
To find sun in my morning
(Sun in my morning,
This is what I see.)
Sun in my morning.
(Sun in my morning,
Shining down on me.)
(Sun in my morning,
This is what I see.)
(Sun in my morning,
Shining down on me.)
Who's that knocking on my door?
And who's that lying on the floor?
Driving through the pouring rain again
Romeo let's go
Shoot 'em out
Shoot out the lights
C'mon and shoot 'em out
Here comes the night
Let's make it all right
Better leave the motor on
Send a signal nothing's wrong
Jesus Christ, the radio has gone
And the shout black as night
Shoot 'em out
Shoot out the lights
C'mon and shoot 'em out
Here comes the night
Let's make it all right
Shoot 'em out
Shoot out the lights
C'mon and shoot 'em out
Here comes the night
On a fog bound morning
With my frozen tiger feet
All done, so I clocked off early
Walked down our street
Oh no
Oh no
Do I really deserve this?
Silhouettes at the window
It's so hard to believe this
Silhouettes at the window
I was only lonely, only thinking of you
I suspected nothing
Put all my trust in you
Now my pride's in a thousand pieces
World slides from view
Oh no
Oh no
Do I really deserve this?
Silhouettes at the window
It's so hard to believe this
Silhouettes at the window
[This song has vocals, but not many real lyrics as such. A couple of phrases are distinguishable.]
Floating higher, / floating, floating, floating...
[Introductory sample:]
I'm Helen Stevens, I'm having a party, and the other tenants are there, and a few friends. We'd like you to join us...
Mark.
Pardon?
I am Mark.
Oh, hello Mark. Please come in, you'll meet the others who live here, and...
Sorry, but... work.
[The rest of the track is an instrumental.]
[Intro announcement:]
Get on the floor and look real sexy!
Saw you,
and when I saw you
I thought ";This is real,
this is real!";
Kissed you,
and when I kissed you,
I whispered ";Forever,
forever!";
I love the way,
I love the way you move
I love the way,
I love the way you move
Just lose yourself,
lose yourself in circles of sound.
People get real,
people get real,
people get real!
Knowing
the way the way we are feeling
You told me that we'd turn clean,
??? we turned clean.
Talking,
taking advantage.
The other side of your dreams
of your dreams. Don't tell me
this is precious!
Don't tell me
this is soulful!
Well you have to be,
have to be kidding me on!
People get real,
people get real,
people get real!
So don't stop,
don't stop believing,
No and don't stop,
don't stop believing,
Just keep on, keep on, keep on believing it's here.
People get real,
people get real,
people get real!
I put off asking you
For so long
Afraid of what
Your answer would be
But there's no other way
So here I stay
You know, I believe in your lies
So easily
Ooh...
No...
No rainbows for me
I'm going for myself
(So I tell myself)
But there's no pot of gold
Just shades of blue
You think my heart's a toy
Like a little boy
Pick it up
Play with it
Break it when you're through
Ooh...
No...
No rainbows for me
Stop hurting me, baby
I may lose my mind
Stop hurting me, baby
Or I'll end up hurting you
Oh, why
No rainbows for me

Checked-in at the airport half an hour late
Jackie caused a scene when we reached the gate
Sorry Mr. Pilot but you'll have to wait
Cause Paul's still in the duty free
When I'm far from home
You call me on the phone
Tell me everything that's happening in England
When I'm feeling blue
You call me something new
Another stupid name that makes me smile
And in a while
Ooh another coffee yeah
Ooh can you sense it in the air
Feels so good
Like someone really cares
Built my world around certain things you say
I think of nothing else at the close of day
Except for maybe how I ended up this way
Another drink before you go
MTV is on another dreary song
20 after 2 and I'm at a loss
Cause the hotel bar is closed
I walk across the road
Sound of Radio Boston makes me smile
And in a while

I wake up every morning, and there before my eyes.
I find my little darling, sighing good looking sighs.
I kiss his nice face, good morning sir!
He smiles and pulls me closer, says it's me he's living for.
Chorus;
La la la la, la la la, la la la.
I feel his arms wrapped around me.
La la la la, la la la, la la la.
He gives me love, la la la.
He comes every evening, for sure work gets him down.
But right there in the doorway, you know he aint got no frown.
My heart begins to bump, I open the door.
He takes me in his arms, hey!, how could ask for anything more?
Chorus x4.

Boy, what are you dreaming of? Anyway
I run around the streets to find you
Shout your name, I want to hold you

Shout your name, I want to hold you
I'll be there, to run into your arms.
I'll be there, won't you hug my soul?
Ooh, what are you thinking of?
Boy, you're thinking about my love, anyway
You're walking through my dreams at night
Losing all my appetite, oh no

George, he called to say that he'd be late
There's something on the TV around eight
If you could see me and if you could see me, ooh
And if you could see me, ooh
Talk to you at night when you're asleep
I say, I deserve better than this
If you could see me and if you could see me, ooh
And if you could see me, ooh
Spring-time came, George didn't care at all
No-one's broke my heart like this before
If you could see me and if you could see me, ooh
And if you could see me, ooh
We hadn't had our tea for long
When you said there's something wrong
Can I take this once again?
You know I'd like to be a friend
Behind the wheel of my Capri
It seems it like no-one's noticed me
And now you're coming out from work
And deep inside I feel so hurt
I saw the people crowding 'round
You didn't move or make a sound
Sky so overcast and gray
And something happened here today
She's got to run, run away from home
You know she's gotta run
Run away from home, she's got to run
You know she's gotta run
Milan, when I was a kitten
We'd sit and sing old songs
Milan, when I was a kitten
We'd sit and sing old songs

In my head, listening to wind chimes
Married a fool, I know
Why on Earth didn't I wait for you?
Now look and see who's paying
Why on Earth didn't I wait for you?
Now look and see who's paying

Set in the East, who cares?
Those days on Radio One
Set in the East, who cares?
Close all of the doors, Maisie
Make sure he knows I'm gone
Close all of the doors, Maisie
Make sure he knows I'm gone
Close down over the ocean
Open the doors, fresh air
Close down over the ocean
You only call? Well, let's go visit Mr. More
Your eight hundred
And I'll raise twenty-five hundred bucks
I can't stand it
South, I'm going south
South Street Seaport, the man says
Can't stand the heat, you can't stand it
You wanna play cards? The bet is two and a half thou
The bet? I'll tell you what the bet is
And I'll raise you six thousand dollars
You son of a bitch, you've been steamrolling over me all night
What are you trying to tell me? One card, you've got a flush
A full, what? I think you're bluffing, pal
I think you're trying to buy it
Then you're going to have to give me some respect
Or give me some money
I think you're bluffing
What are you, Joe Capp? I didn't ask what you think
Raise, call, or fold
I should raise your ass but I'm just gonna call
My marker's good for the money
What is this marker? Where are you from?

One night in never land
Checking out the Amsterdam scene
Got a room from some old guy
Outside the rocking machine
Don't know who you are
But you can't come in
Turn the TV down
Kick the TV in
All pictures scattered round
All soaked in alcohol
Next thing the lights go out
I heard a bang on the wall
Don't know who you are
But you can't come in
Turn the TV down
Kick the TV in
Turn the TV down
Kick the TV in
You know the hurt's so deep
That I can't sleep or eat
And what I'm hoping for
Is to feel your kisses sweet
If we could just talk
Things might be a little more clear
I really need the chance
To explain the way I feel
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Thinking of you constantly
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Wishing you were here with me
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Where are you please?
When I get home from work
Sit down and watch TV
The night falls
Just like a bad dream
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Thinking of you constantly
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Wishing you were here with me
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Where are you please?
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Thinking of you constantly
I can't sleep
(Can't sleep)
Wishing you were here with me
I can't sleep

Dream home
In Downey, California
Palm trees
The sound of Karen Carpenter
Mother's holding baby
Baby's getting restless now
Looking for her mother
Looking for her mother
You don't
Don't want to believe him now
Don't want to
Don't want to see
Eyes closed
Asleep in a crystal hideaway
I stand
They used to take the head away
If she could tell the story
Frozen on her lips today
She could tell her daughter
She could tell her daughter
You want
Want to believe him now
You'll never
You'll never feel
La la, la la, la la
La la, la la, la la
You want
You want to believe him now
No lyric, instrumental only.
Oh babe, I know you've gone
I won't be sad alone
'Cause the song that you left me
Hearing tunes in other rooms
They stay, they stay like morning rays
Summer in sound tumbling down
The sun around my face
Leaves are green like tambourines
A walk, a walk in morning dew
Soul in the breeze, places like theses
The times I shared with you
Can we slow it down, slow it down?
I'm afraid to go home
I'm afraid to go home
Can we slow it down, slow it down?
Scared of being alone
Scared to answer the phone
I'm afraid to go home
Ocean view is drowned in blue
The waves, the waves against the shore
Say, I don't care but knowing he's there
I'll pour a couple more
Can we slow it down, slow it down?
I'm afraid to go home
I'm afraid to go home
Can we slow it down, slow it down?
I'm afraid to go home
Boy is it coming to me
Lotta bodies I don't know
Hoped I could get some sleepin'
Hope that they will go
That boy is crying
Forget about the lying
He's not singing
Cause his ears are ringing
I've gotta hit the sheets again
Gotta catch an hour before I go
Down to the streets beneath me
Out into the crowd below
Take me to the outer reaches
Rock me to and fro
This boy is crying
Fed up with the lying
I'm not singing
Cause my eyes are stinging
Get me on a roll again
Look me in the eye and flash your smile
I knew when you
Came around here to see me
You'd stay here till the morning
Can't stop myself from falling
In love with you
You know we'll never be the same
Been so long
It's been so long
I'm tired of being alone
There's a way to go
Honey I know now I'm calling you on the phone
Pretending nothing has changed here
But strangely familiar tracks are falling
You came without a warning
I'm glad you're here
To take these lonely tears away
Been so long
It's been so long
I'm tired of being alone
There's a way to go
Honey I know now I'm calling you on the phone
On the phone
Been so long
It's been so long
I'm tired of being alone
There's a way to go
Honey I know now I'm calling you on the phone
On the phone
A neighborhood that I live in
I've always seen as home
At certain times at the evening
It's like a no-go zone
Got cash in my pocket
To last the weekend
And I've got feet just like white light
And don't mind keeping
But still I walk the side streets home
Even when I'm on my own
If I let myself believe
All the bad press and all the stories
I wouldn't set a foot outside
You say I live in a bubble
I find the bubbles best
Add a thing with a truffle
Just turn and head to west
Quite light on my feet
If I ever need be
As I zip down the street
No one ever sees me
That's why I walk the side streets home
Even when I'm on my own
If I let myself believe
All the bad press and all the stories
I wouldn't set a foot outside
I'm tempting fate
So nonchalant
I'll probably get it tomorrow
Till then I walk the side streets home
Even when I'm on my own
If I let myself believe
Side streets home
On my own
A redwood tree

In the city your footsteps float in the air
In the city at night there's no one else there
In the city see all the old street lamps again
In the city they took all the new ones away
You wind down a window to let in some light
Through the middle of glossum [unverified] billboards at night
And pausing to catch your breath in the rain
In the city your home again, again
Do dooh, do dooh
Do dooh, do dooh
Check my make-up and check my watch again
I can hardly wait
Play the album and play it all again
I can hardly wait
They say the music press is set to try us
They say that they're in love with synthesizers
And baby don't you know there'll be surprises
Tonight
Tonight
This could be my life this could save my life
I can hardly wait
Maybe they'll open with an album track
Or a top five hit no turning back
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Maybe they'll open with an album track
Or a top five hit no turning back
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Tonight when the lights are going down
I will surrender to the sound
And look at all the kids around
Tonight the sound is breaking like a wave
Wish it could always feel this way
And life will never be the same
Check my make-up and check my watch again
I can hardly wait
There's a part of me only they can see
I can hardly wait
Maybe they'll open with an album track
Or a top five hit no turning back
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Maybe they'll open with an album track
Or a top five hit no turning back
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Tonight when the lights are going down
I will surrender to the sound
And look at all the kids around
Tonight the sound is breaking like a wave
Wish it could always feel this way
And life will never be the same
It's been too long
It's been too long
Maybe they'll open with an album track
Or a top five hit no turning back
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Maybe they'll open with an album track
Or a top five hit no turning back
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oh ooh
Tonight when the lights are going down
I will surrender to the sound
And look at all the kids around
Tonight the sound is breaking like a wave
Wish it could always feel this way
Seventeen, high-school queen
Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see
Well you've come a long way since September
But, Sylvie, you oughtta remember
You know he's mine
You know he's mine
You know he's mine
Sylvie, girl, I'm a very patient person
But I'll have to shut you down
If you don't give up your flirting
Leave him alone, 'cause I know he loves me
Leave him alone, 'cause he tells me he loves me
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
Seventeen, high-school queen
Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see
Well you've come a long way since September
But, Sylvie, you oughtta remember
You know he's mine
You know he's mine
You know he's mine
Sylvie, girl, although you're my little sister
Well you're not without your charms
I'm not sure that he'll resist you
Give it all up, for we see you crying
Give it all up, 'cause I know you've been trying
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
Gentle and giving
All the rest is treason
Whose poor rainbow
Whose poor rainbow
And then return to the river again
To live by the water again
Whose poor rainbow
Whose poor rainbow
And then return to the river again
To live by the water again, again
Whose poor rainbow
Whose poor rainbow
Rain
(Poor rainbow)
Rain, rain
I have news, good news from Notting Hill
The consignment of white gold has arrived for Mr. Anderson
In the rain, in the fall
In the mud, in the hall
In the main, in the fog
In the showers call my name
In the rain, in the fall
In the mud, in the hall
In the main, in the fog
In the showers call my name
Call my name
In the rain, in the stall
In the bath, in the hall
In the car, in the main
In the showers call my name
In the rain
Call my name
In the rain, in the fall
In the mud, in the hall
In the main, in the fog
In the showers
In the rain, in the stall
In the bath, in the hall
In the car, in the main
In the showers call my name
Call my name
In the rain
Call my name
Call my name
Call my name
Call my name
