James along the road-lane will become new
First, though, hall on the right
And river to his right, then to his left
As Prospect looks upon you

And I heard this place was haunted
So I went there every night
Just to find it was me
Who was haunting this site

We were made for to catch game
My advice: think on Harry’s soul

There’s a phantom at the keep
And the mist has claimed my eyes and my ears

And I see her in old wives tales
As she hums down the steps
Those nine hundred years
And two months old steps.

Haunted Keep

Herebefore

Good

Fall Of The Granite Man

And then she enters from stage left
I gotta tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
God help me, unhand me.

I cannot hear my people talk
Little fucker got his hand in his mouth
And this party isn’t over ‘til three
Time passes, have mercy.

And this is people doing things
Get a habit, got to get it on cue
Yes I’m gonna make a habit of you
Now thank me, god bless me
When all the things I said I’d do are done.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
All of these little things I know
I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
Get off my wick now I will go
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Spit out that bristle it’s okay
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
I’ve got this message it’s all right.

And all my faces dealt at once
Let me show you what I’ve done so far
And then you’ll witness what I will do next
I’ll do it, I’ll do it.

And I am holding with two hands
I’m a sailor and I’ve got my sail
I’m a jockey and I’ve got my whip
God bless me, I did it
And all the people doing things are one
And all the battles mean the war is won
And who cares for peace?

People Doing Things

Way down the line
You see the reason
You see the reason for everything
So take your time
To see the reason
To see the reason he had to let go
There’s a sign
That you believe in
That you believe in, promise you will
Make sure it’s right
And stands to reason
And stands to reason.

Hearts that beg the question
Please do not waste our time
Brains give the impression
Two weeks down the line
Hearts that beg the question
Please do not waste our time
Brains give the impression
That there’s little else to say.

Love at first sight 
Is a naïve notion
From lazy and frightened young
Kids, who you’re right
Are afraid of motion
Are startled and panicked when
Time makes demands
For a growing feeling
Organic and subtle for
Love can’t be bought
At a discount price
On high-streets with retail so
Reach deep inside
To where only you know
Cos what you need is not what
They may tell you
Cos you’re the one who knows for sure 
What you desire.

Hearts that beg the question
Please do not waste our time
Brains give the impression
Two weeks down the line
Hearts that beg the question
Please do not waste our time
Brains give the impression
That there’s little else to say.
