Hunger

The Circus

Oblivious

Excite Me Much

Unholy river

I

I was a bell jar full of storm
and you a trapping lid
boy you´re such a Nancy boy
so I guess that makes me Sid
In my bed I sleep with many books
and they please me like you never did

// 

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river


II

I had a vivid dream I wore a satin dress
barefeet and red lips like Marilyn Monroe
I had an avid man and he had avid hands
and I cried in his face: give me shelter
I cried in his face: keep me warm
or please let me go

//

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river

UNHOLY RIVER

Dogeye minute 

I.
It was a street-shark-kiss on the lips
you shoved me up to the wall
you counted 1 2 3 4 
baby yeah you knew I would fall
baby yeah you knew I would fall

II.
Wet with praises and off your face
you with your dogeyes bitten with
my love it´s only minutes ticking 
and all of this will be forgotten
a mouth full of you
is a mouth full of cotton

Chorus:
It was a dogeye minute
then you went awol
can´t call that love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

III.
Cold white tiles I´m gonna stay awhile
barefeet, hurt and dry I´d walk a mile
eye to eye just to say
Hey wasn´t it all just a
Hey wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

Bridge:
An eye for an eye
a kiss for a tooth
a headache, a sunrise
a table for one
now that you´re gone
wasn´t it all just a 
wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x2)

It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
At all.

DOGEYE MINUTE

Another track by Thorny, which was a band comprised of just me and Whitney Wade. This is a short, pretty one I always liked.

                                                words and music by Jon Colton


Have I only made it worse
I’ve been blessed with just that curse
If we ever speak again
I may say the same thing then
Oh my angel I’m ashamed
But it wasn’t me who claimed that I could change

And the scar was always thin
Where you end and I begin
So it’s only out of need
You should also have to bleed
Oh my angel please don’t waste
Your life or blood or breath in haste on
