Lyrics

What I could have been.
Washed out by the salty sea.
Oh, it is just a dream.
A dream that's obsolete.

What a place to be.
A place where you can go and see.
The things that you could be.
All that you could dream.

Now you'll never know.
Anywhere's the way to go.
Oh, It's all for the show.
Now you'll never know.

Washed out by the sun.
This sun is just the current one.
The bun that traps the fly.
Now you wave goodbye.

Just wasted on the sand.
Wasted in a foreign land.
Wasted like you planned.
You wasted all your hands.

Time it ticks away.
Ticks away another day.
The days they will not stay.
The days they go away.

What I couldn't see.
Washed out by the salty sea.
Reminds me of the time.
I searched but couldn't find.

A scar that fades away.
Reminders of the former days.
The days that fade away.
The days they often change.

The salty sea imbibes.
More than you would care to mind.
You're full up to your eyes.
The salty sea revives.

LYRICS

Oh, back in sixty-nine you know that they...
They really had it made.
But, they think they're taking secrets of their lives...
With them to the grave.
They think that they worked harder than the rest...
And that they won the war.
They've pulled the drawbridge up...
They're slamming shut the door.

What's that you say?
We had it made?
Oh, we're heading for the grave just like you.
You act like you know.
A secret we don't.
But, there's no escaping the truth.
We're just like you.
Just like you.
We're just like you.

They made all their money on a house...
In the 1980's.
They've lived longer than anyone else...
In all of history.
They're looking down their noses and they think...
That you are a disgrace.
You had to work twice as hard as they did...
To get to the same place.

What's that you say?
You'd rather buy a crate.
Just a detour to the grave.
A pleasant stroll.
You act like you know.
But, you'll never though.
We're just rent collectors on the dole.
We're just like you.
We're just like you.
We're just like you.

What's that you say?
We've had it made?
Oh, we're heading for a grave just like you.
You act like you know.
A secret we don't.
But, there's no escaping the truth.
We're just like you.
We're just like you.
We're just like you.

Just Like You [2024 Remaster]

First recorded in December 2022.
From the album Salt.

It's a song about the castle.

LYRICS

There's a castle that stands,
on a hill, above the sands,
while the people below,
hatch some plans. 
Though the fields and the trees,
are packed with stupidity.
Might be you, could be me,
naturally.

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

As the castle looks down,
ashen faced, in the town, 
oh, the people they frown,
looking down.
And they never glance up,
at these rocks they've piled above, 
piled for years, piled with tears,
piled with love. 

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

The castle surrounds, 
a cliff top, above the town, 
seabirds cry,
as they circle around 
Control has no bounds,
like a face in the clouds,
looking down at the state of the town. 

And what will we be.
For one thing, were not free.
There's a castle, 
which watches, 
you go.

LYRICS

Chucking away.
The time you thought you'd saved up.
Just a lot of descents. 
You're putting off your makeup.
Till they've had their say.
Now you are feeling lonely.
The world turning grey.
They all get a say. 

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day. 

The unwritten page.
Your future feeding slowly.
Solely displayed.
So you feel haunted ghostly.
A blanket of rage.
A warming cloth of kindness.
A look of dismay.
A feeling obeyed.

Can't save a thing.
Not a piece of cake.
It's never yours, it just goes to waste.

Can't waste a thing.
As it slips away.
No point in waiting for a chosen day.

Next thing you know.
You've got a ways to go.
But you cannot know.
If you will get a go.
Time can go slow,
But also run away from.
And quickly fade.
A sudden shade.

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day. 





You Can't Take It With You [2024 Remaster]

First recorded in May 2023.
From the album A Number of Mirrors.

It's a song about snakes and then about going sailing, probably all metaphorically.

This new version was mixed and mastered by

www.soundcloud.com/woods_studio 

LYRICS

Just some snakes in the grass.
Slithering out in the road as you pass.
Fragments deep in the past.
You move on.

Like a cat in a bag.
Like a young lad on tag.
Like a wrinkled old hag.
Who belongs?

Take me away from it all.
Drag me up out of the squall.

Just a thorn in your side.
A lion sits watching and waiting besides.
Found a good place to hide.
Waiting on.

A teenager acting their age.
Considering things like a bird in a cage.
An empty box filled up with rage.
For no one.

Take me away from it all.
Take me away from the squall.
Take me away by the hand
Take me away from the land.
When we go...

Sailing, on the sea.
We'll go sailing.
Just you and me.
Yeah, we go sailing.
From the land.
Yeah, we'll go sailing. 
Just take my hand.

We go sailing on the waves.
We go sailing.
Feeling brave.
And the warm sun will heat our bones.
As we go sailing, we alone.

Sailing on the sea.
We go sailing.
Just you and me.
Yeah, we go sailing.
From the land.
Yeah, we'll go sailing.
Just take my hand.


Snakes/Sailing [2024 Remaster]

First recorded in November 2023.
From the album Sparks.

It's a song about someone called Eloise, apparently she has a garden of love..

LYRICS

Nor blanket of kindness, nor blanket of snow.
Covers me whole. Makes no inroads from...
The giant black smoke stack that bellows and blows.
Oh, how it blows. 
Blows out and blows.

Oh, please, oh, please.
Save me from me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.
Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me, from been me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.

The choices I make must sit right in my head.
Eloise. Come with me.
If I make the wrong choice, I'll wish I were dead.
Eloise, we could be...
So happy you joined us, though you're rather late.
Honey, please, Set me free.
Now eat everything that we put on your plate.
On my knees, work with me.

Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me from just me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.
Oh, please, please, please.
Save me, save me, save me.
Eloise, in your garden of love.

Now I'm walking and talking.
And barely forestalling this breakdown.
Won't come free.
Eloise, in the garden of love.
I walk and I talk.
And say all the words I'm supposed to say now.
Alter me. 
Eloise, in your garden of love.

Some sort of third verse that explains the first two.
Eloise. Follow me?
The storm in your mind can't contain what you do.
Eloise. Follow me?

Oh, please, won't you please.
Save me, only me.
Eloise, with your garden of love.
Oh, please, please, please.
Save me, me, me.
Eloise, with your garden of love.

I'm walking, I'm baulking.
I'm right on the edge of a breakdown.
From the fee.
Eloise. Eloise  Eloise.
I can't walk, and I can't talk.
I can't alter the words that you say now.
Fancy free. 
Eloise. 
In your garden of love.

The choices I make must sit right in my head.
If I make the wrong choice, I'll wish I were dead.
Eloise in your garden of love.







Eloise [2024 Remaster]

If I could conjure fortune up with fame.
And treat those two imposters just the same.
If I am flicker, a shadow, a moment in time.
Then I am a whisper, a headache, a 6 am. line.

Watch back, stat attack, deary me.
My apple took a fall from a golden tree.
Oh, what are you seeing when you look at me?
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to survive.

The wind that blew away the dust and rot.
The same wind blew away the elder gods.
If I'm on a golden star, spinning a circle in time.
How can I be staring out into space in a line?

Hold back, black jack, twenty-three.
My apple didn't fall far from that tree.
Oh, I am my own, and I will always be.
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to get by.

The sun that weaves its path across the sky.
Will carry on the same after you die.
If I am a small part of all that has happened before.
How is it fair that I can never know what's in store?

Sad sack, hold back, deary me.
My apple took a fall from the golden tree.
Oh, what am I seeing when I look at me?
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to the...

Hard tack, take back, birds and bee.
My apple didn't fall far from that tree.
Oh, I am my own, and I will always be.
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to survive.

The Apple And The Tree

Home is the place where we live.
Home is the place where you learn to forgive.
Home's where you build up your fire.
Home is the place where you crawl up inside her.
Down in the night.
It'll be right.
In the morning.

Home is the place you belong.
Home is a place where you can't stay for long.
Home is the time at your side.
Home is the place where you play out the ride.
Dark is the night.
But it's all alright.
In the morning.

Give me some time.
Get my ducks in a line.
Though we're all short of time.
Take me home.
Faded or not
I'll be taking my shot.
Trying to stop this rot.
Take me home.

Home places logs by the fire.
Home is a place where you're joined up with wire.
Home is a light in the dawn.
Home is the piled dirty clothes you have worn.
Meanwhile, there's the night.
Turn off the light.
To them all.

Give me a throw.
Get my ducks in a row.
We'll be watching them go.
Take me home.
I'm fading away.
But won't sink into grey.
It'll all be okay.
Take me home.

Give me some time.
Get my ducks in a line.
Though we're all short of time.
Take me home.
Now faded or not
I'll be taking my shot.
Trying to stop this rot.
Take me home. 

They said that we'd never make it.
What do they know?
Girl, we never made it.
Lost in the night.
Worked out alright.
Now, will you please take me home. 


Home

Satellite, I see you flying through the sky.
Can you tell me why you've gotta get so high?
I have never seen such motion all my life.
Satellite, you shine your light and pass on by.

Satellite, what is the purpose of your being?
I can't comprehend the sights that you have seen.
I have no idea what they have got in store.
Satellite, they always seem to want some more.

Straight lines cross the sky.
The stars are left behind.
The grandeur of the moon.
Is crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite.

Satellite, I stand here staring from the ground.
While you watch us up in space, recording sound.
Satellite, who sent you up to spy on me?
You were only supposed to help us become free.

Satellite, a glowing tin can full of war.
Falling sideways past the earth outside my door.
Are you filling up on data from ruskies?
Satellite, one day you'll bring us to our knees.

Soaring cross sun-rays.
You transmit through the haze.
A howl up to the moon.
It's crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite. (x4)

Satellite

Are you watching the earth spin around?
Through the clouds, through the clouds, all the clouds.
You don't lift up your head up and look round.
Look around, look around, at the clouds.
When the cloudburst is tumbling down.
To the ground.

See you speak but you don't make a sound.
Look around, for the sound, for the sound.
And you're only a face in the crowd?
Walking round, head bowed down, bowing down.
Won't you get your head out of my clouds?
On the ground.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.

Is your head fucked up spinning around?
Spin around, round and round, spinning round.
Is your head still stuck up in a cloud?
Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down.
You choose now to take your look around?
To the ground.

When you can't see the wood for the trees?
On your knees, to your knees, on your knees.
And if you don't stay still you will freeze.
As you please, as they please, as I please.
All the clouds floating off on the breeze.
On your knees.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.



The Clouds

When I was a child. 
I thought it was only a ride.
Was there laughter and loving, and music and singing your songs. 
Not for long.
Was there was food in our bellies, and something on telly, to watch. 
Like the clocks.

When I was a child. 
I told myself it was just fine
As I drank from the fountain, of spirits and beer and wine. 
For some time.
See, there's stuff to be taken, and holes to be sank in. 
Sometimes, drew a line.

I feel no cold as I sit with the moon and the tree.

Inside I ache.
I'm on the take.
These deals I make.
Roll on.
Yet as a child.
I'd raise a smile.
As I walked them miles.
Alone.

When I was a boy.
I was easily fooled by your ruse. 
But it grew so much bigger, got sold down the river and gone. 
Right or wrong.
See, there's nothing that's lasting.
It's all in the past, for too long. 
Sang that song.

See, I was too young, 
and I couldn't see wood for the trees.
I was caught in the cross wind of holes we get stuck in. 
We're gone. 
Far too long.
The winds keep on gusting.
Surrounded by rough things at dawn. 
You're falorn.

I feel no cold as I sit with the moon and the tree.

Inside I ache.
I'm on the take.
These deals I make.
Roll on.
Yet as a child.
I'd raise a smile.
As I walked them miles.
Alone.

I feel no cold as I sit with the moon and the tree.

Inside I ache.
I'm on the take.
These deals I make.
Roll on.
Yet as a child.
I'd raise a smile.
Now I'm a child.
No more 

The Moon And The Tree

Sneaky Russian, how do you do?
Bet we're thinking just the same as you.
Should we give ourselves a talking to?
What a world.
Oh, American, how do you plead?
Bet you'd like to see us on our knees.
Are you too wrapped up with greed?
To make it work.

Standing out in the crowd.
Why you all gotta talk so loud?
And what's made you so proud?
Of all your words.
Oh, china-man what do you say?
Could we all be friends one day?
Shall we put the bad things away?
We can all be here to stay.
I guess our time is running out.

Can't you all just get along?
We can't all sing the same song.
When neither one is wrong.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.

Half cut with my friends.
We're sorting through.
We'll sort it out.
This world spins round.
Within or without. 

Three sheets to the wind.
We're sorting out.
Just sorting through.
Without a clue.
We lack the clout.
To figure it out.

Sneaky Russian hasn't the means.
The follow up to having a dream.
Contemplating some expensive jeans?
But they are cursed.
You Americans a-wouldn't know.
Why they made the flowers grow.
Not everything's for show.
Some things are work.

Them chinaman digging the ground.
While we're all just fooling around.
Work sixteen hour days.
So the outcome might be swayed.
I guess our time is running out.

Well then Russian what do you say?
Could we make it up to you some way?
The clock keeps ticking on.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.

Half cut with my friends.
We're sorting through.
We'll sort it out.
This world spins round.
Within or without 

Three sheets to the wind.
We're sorting out.
Just sorting through.
Without a clue.
We lack the clout.
To figure it out.

The workers plod along.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.
Om.

Sneaky Russians

Lyrics (Lennon/McCartney)

Lady Madonna, children at your feet.
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

Who finds the money when you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven sent?

Friday night arrives without a suitcase.
Sunday morning creeping like a nun.
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace.
See how they run.

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast.
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest.

See how they run.

Lady Madonna lying on the bed.
Listen to the music playing in your head. 

Tuesday afternoon is never-ending.
Wednesday morning papers didn't come.
Thursday night, your stockings needed mending.
See how they run.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet.
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

Lady Madonna [The Beatles Cover]

There was a time when I liked the mean streets.
Alcohol, the drugs, the pizzas.
Feeling I was getting somewhere fast.

But, all them times they were too risky
All them people nowt but piskies.
Nothing in that world is built to last.

Though alcohol stirred my emotion.
Held me back from true devotion.
Holds you back from any given task.

Kids they change things.
Life is savage.
All you wanted was no baggage.
Something has to give. 
It's really this or that.

The causes that you thought important.
Melt away with holy portents.
Honey drizzled, cold war, dazzled hearts.

And all the naying, saying, lovers.
Soft, warm legs underneath covers.
Couldn't help me now. 
That we're apart.

Your sky will never fill my pages.
Barely heard of all your sages.
Take a look for me.
Before we start.

Oh, up and down, and far below.
It's all the same to me, you know.
The portrait of an artist. 
Giving away all his art.

Oh, I'll...
Say it, then.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Because I'm old.
oh, I'll...
Say it again.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Because I'm old.

We send the kids to school for learning.
Half an eye on future earnings.
Whatever will now become of me?

A spent and used up commissary.
Delivered on time just barely.
Why'd you give me sight.
If I can't ever hope to see?

Your machinations drove me crazy.
Doubled up. 
Accused of lazy.
Trapped by lack of sleep that I can't beat.

Who cares to dance? 
When all above.
The puppet masters strings are cut.
Here I am sitting. 
Won't you go and dance for me?

Oh, I'll...
Say it, then.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Cause I am old.
Yeah, I'll...
Say it again.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
I'm just too old.

Their covid left me blurry, weary.
I was not like all the teary.
Pan bang, sap eyed, abide, pleasant chaps.

And all you worry wort, dag naggers.
In cahoots with the flag shaggers.
Ruined all my feelings toward the past

Your rules were made to be heartbroken.
Everything is bought with tokens.
How'd we get our foot off of the gas?

Money comes to cause it's mischief.
Always rooted for the sneak theif.
Boffins kinda gave me creeps.
Never gave me laughs.

I've no concerns about your Facebook.
Crushed the car.
But kept the log book.
Hushed. Momento mori. Fancy free.

You over-ruled me nationally.
Watched my family dilly dally.
Sleeping. Creeping. 
Further out from me.

Your anodyne, pontificating,
deals you are making with Satan.
How I wish you'd try to let it...
Let it wander free.

They rubber stamped your reliquary 
Fuck the rich, man.
They are lairy.
In the end.
Well, there... 
There is only me.

The Mean Streets

God, give me style and give me grace.
Give me something I can grow.
Give me something I can taste.
Now, give me somewhere just to be.
Give me rock and give me roll.
Give me heart and give me soul.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley which no light can penetrate.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm when you sink into the waste.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

You, give me the freedom to use.
Give me fire for the fuse.
Give me someone as a muse.
Now, tell me what you wanna be?
Give me pockets full of sight.
Give me strength to win the fight.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley that no light can enter in.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm in which I can sink within.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley which no light can penetrate.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm when you sink into the waste.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

I'm Falling

LYRICS (Lennon/McCartney)

When I call you up, your line's engaged.
I have had enough, so act your age.
We have lost the time, that was so hard to find.
And I will lose my mind.
If you won't see me, (you won't see me).
You won't see me, (you won't see me).

I don't know why you, (oh, la la la).
Should want to hide, (oh, la la la).
But I can't get through, (oh, la la la).
My hands are tied, (oh, la la la).
I won't want to stay, (oh, la la la).
I don't have much to say, (oh, la la la).
But I get turned away, (oh, la la la).
And you won't see me, (you won't see me).
You won't see me, (you won't see me).

Time after time.
You refuse to even listen.
I wouldn't mind.
If I knew what I was missing, (no, I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't).

Though the days are few, (oh, la la la).
They're filled with tears, (oh, la la la).
And since I lost you, (oh, la la la).
It feels like years, (oh, la la la).
Yes, it seems so long, (oh, la la la).
Girl, since you've been gone, (oh, la la la).
And I just can't go on, (oh, la la la).
If you won't see me, (you won't see me).
You won't see me, (you won't see me).

Time after time.
You refuse to even listen.

Lyrics

Whilst seeking out light in the dark.
You whispered and put out your spark.
Supposedly seeking out truth.
You wandered in amongst the brutes.

Oh, Ozymandias you are.
But you didn't fall very far.
The never ending stretch of sands,
And every bit flows through your hands.

You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Oh, you howled at the sight of the moon.
You wanted to be me.
You wanted to temper the shock.
Took your shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
 
You sought out the secret too soon.
The dog star the arriving in June.
You barely remembered the tune.
you drank up your fill of the Moon.

A beutiful, terrible mind.
Beware spake the sign of the sign.
Your arrow is shot fallingdown.
You'll never escape from this town.

You wanted to be me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Did it all by the light of the moon.
You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I'm not.
Took a shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.

Blood Orange Moon [Mariosyjp Remaster]

Lyrics (Lennon/McCartney)

Your day breaks, your mind aches.
You find that all her words of kindness linger on.
When she no longer needs you.

She wakes up, she makes up.
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry.
She no longer needs you 

And in her eyes, you see nothing.
No sign of love behind the tears.
Cried for no one.
A love that should have lasted years.

You want her, you need her.
And yet you don't believe her.
When she says her love is dead.
You think she needs you.

And in her eyes, you see nothing.
No sign of love behind the tears.
Cried for no one.
A love that should have lasted years.

You stay home, she goes out.
She says that long ago she knew someone.
But now he's gone, she doesn't need him.

Your day breaks, your mind aches.
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head.
You won't forget her.

And in her eyes, you see nothing.
No sign of love behind the tears.
Cried for no one.
A love that should have lasted years.

For No One [The Beatles Cover

LYRICS (Lennon/McCartney)

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby,
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been.
Lives in a dream.
Waits at the window.
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?

All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people.
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie,
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear.
No one comes near.
Look at him working.
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there.
What does he care?

All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people.
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby,
Died in the church and was buried along with her name.
Nobody came.
Father McKenzie,
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave.
No one was saved.

All the lonely people. (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people. (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

Eleanor Rigby [The Beatles Cover]

Lyrics (Lennon/McCartney)

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then, you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain.
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well, you know that it's a fool who plays it cool.
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin.
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it better.

Better better better better better better, oh.
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...

Hey Jude [The Beatles Cover]

Gotta Get Up [Harry Nilsson Cover]

Well, you can run, but you can't hide. 
There's no escape from what's inside.
You can try and write your words out in a song.
But we all show when something's wrong.

When you're only showing one face to the world.
When you're trying to make your mind up on a girl.
When you're escaping this world into your own.
You should know that you can never make it home.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Well, we all live, and we all die.
Imagination helps you get on by.
Is there a constant revolution in your soul?
It's a shame that we all have to get so old.

When you lay there on a morning on your own.
When you can not find a place to rest your bones.
When the nighttime comes to help you get away.
When you find out, it won't matter what you say.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Fade Away

Take off! These chains are falling away.
There's a message in your morning I just can't face.
I lay myself down, and I dream.
One day, there'll come a moment I can't breathe.

Lift off! I'll never follow you home.
Won't you give me Hill and Valley where I can roam?
A little corner for my peace.
This town has gotten dirty, and I can't leave.

There must be somewhere I should be?
There must be something I can't see?
There must be something I could take?
There are so many rules to break.
I throw it all away.

Hold up? You're old. Not feeling so great.
True, I see your storm clouds gather, and I'm tempting fate.
You don't leave any space to dream.
Left it all behind, just wasted behind the scenes.

There must be something I could be?
There must be someone I can see?
I'm running out of pills to take.
It's just another rule to break.
I throw it all away.

Get up! I will not be on my way.
You can wait another lifetime before I fade.
You see, my field is evergreen.
I still think in terms of what I've yet to see.

Take off! These chains are falling away.
There's a message in your morning I just can't face.
I lay myself down, just to dream.
One day, there'll come that moment I won't breathe.

There must be somewhere I should be?
There must be something I can't see?
There must be something I could take?
There are so many rules to break.
I throw it all away.

There Must Be Something

The seven seas all feel the same.
When you sail on them in the rain.
Your silver lining, like a shroud.
Was disapated by your cloud.
Such a clown. 

Oh, I could talk to you for days.
You set the pace.
It's a shame we had to go our separate ways.
We barely wiled away the hours.
Forget your flowers.
Can you still hear me from up in your tower?

Caught a television screen.
About anything. 
Could be a dream.
My fascination with the crown
Was decimated by the town.
And all the crowds.

Oh, I would walk by you for days.
You set the pace.
I just didn't know that I was in a race.
I know I wasted all my hours.
The time devoured.
You're looking down, and now I know that...

we all can't believe the same. woah oh.
I know we're all a bit to blame. woah oh, yeah.
I know some people have no shame. woah oh.
I know we all can't feel the same.

Oh, I could talk to you for days.
You set the pace.
It's a shame we had to go our separate ways.
We barely wiled away the hours.
Forget your flowers.
Can you still hear me from up in your tower?
Your tower.

Flowers

Though the night is so dark and full of fears.
It won't get any easier through the years.
I was getting tired in your shoes.
I was feeling lonely, fed up, used.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.

Just one more to take the edge away.
Just a taste of sugar, a lighter end to your day.
I was getting tired of your rules.
I was getting bored and feeling blue.

Maybe I just need escape.
Maybe I was feeling great.
Maybe I was looking out.
Maybe I was crying out.
Ever think I know who I am?
Ever think you wanna get some?
Everybody seeks admission.
Everybody's going missing.
I was getting tired of your blues.
I was feeling washed up, old and through.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.

I was getting tired in your shoes.
I was feeling lonely, fed up, used.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.


Lights Out

Mother would watch as I'd dive for the money they'd throw.
Down below.
Down so low.

From in the blue water, the people above move so slow.
They don't know.
What I know.

Give me a reason to stay.
Guess it's true that we all run away.
Though I can't see the future, I'm sure.
That I can never know what's in store.

Some coins for the coven, there's buns in the oven.
To pay.
We will see.
What will be.

Son, fetch me your Shoeshine, this town it is all mine. 
What's more.
I'm the law.
Above the law.

You fantasy swinger, you phoney gunslinger, who deals?
Out the deals.
Ride the wheels.

A priest or a bandit, a boxer or prophet, your breath.
Your last breath.
On to death.

Lord, give me a reason to stay.
There are times when we all run away.
Though I know there's no future, I'm sure.
That you can never know what's in store.

Oh mother, oh mother, the life they have taken from me.
I am free.
I'm the sea.

Oh, father, my father, now why hast thou forsaken me?
You can't see.
What I see.

Lord, give me a reason to stay.
Guess it's true that we all run away.
Though I can't see the future, I'm sure.
That I can never know what's in store.

Shoeshine

What do you wanna be?
Can the sunshine live up to your needs?
Course: the river run free.
Will the forest provide from within?
Where you once held the key. 
Now they all tell you, just let it be. 
You refused to look up
You can't learn everything from a book.

Save up for me.
Save it till last.
Save all that nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
And all that remains...
The sunrise on sunday morning's past.

What do you wanna do?
It's been years since we dropped out of school.
Let's pretend, there's no rules.
Now, we all lack the requisit tools.
As we're struggling through.
We're without any clue what to do.
And the winter winds blow.
As we start to pick out where to go.

Save up for me.
Save it till last.
Save all that nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
And all that remains...
The sunshine on sunday morning's past.

In the darkened great hall.
Stands a man who is fifty feet tall.
And he programs the news.
To decide how to deal out the truth.
Now you catch but a glimpse.
Never seeing enough to convince.
Though they gilded your cage.
You can't take anything for the rage.

Save up for me.
Save it till last.
Save all that nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
And all that remains...
The sunshine on sunday.
Save it for me.
Save it till last.
Save all your nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
The memories fade.
Like rain on a Sunday morning.


Sunday

As the light from the morning streams in through the cold window pane.
All the ghosts in the city streets, hiding their heads from the rain.
You won't keep my city clean.
Took all my dopamine.
Raining and cold.
You can't give my dreams away.
Lost them all yesterday.
Mourning, now I'm old.

We're all floating alone in the dark.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
And you don't even know who you are.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
Que sera.

As the noise from the cars gets in, hide from the night, you're in starlight, never day.
This way, you can never win, dont know where to begin.
Morning, Mrs Jones.
And, a check in the mirror shows where all the dark things go.
Always, feel the same.
Fuck it, let's have another line, forget the march of time.
Fire, it glows.

Ah, You don't even need to get far.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
And you don't need to know who you are.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
Que sera.

We're all floating alone in the dark.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
And you don't even know who you are.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
Que sera.

Morning (Que Sera)

Bluebird, you will never reach the sky.
So keeping hidden, raise your voice up to the night.
I'll drink my whiskey, smoke my cigarettes till dawn.
The world is frozen, but this fireside is warm.

I was calling out.
I was falling out.
I was broken and bored.
I was reaching out.
I was hanging round.
I was waiting to soar.
Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Bluebird, you will never get away.
(Why would you even want to get away?)
You're only memories, all the rest will have to stay.
(Back in your cage where all the best birds stay)
Hidden only by the pretence that they care.
Like circles drifting from the centre to the air.

I was wondering out.
I was holding out.
I was broken and cold.
I was never round.
I was on the ground.
I was getting too old.
In the cold.
In the cold.

Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Bluebird, are you singing in my heart.
(Singing out from down within my heart)
They must've noticed, you were broken from the start.
(You were broken from the very start)
I'll keep on dreaming, won't you tell me what you saw?
(Just a little hint at what you saw)
When you left me, and I couldn't see no more.
(What am I to do? I can't see more)

Are you calling out?
Are you falling out?
Are you broken and bored?
Are you reaching out,
Are you hanging round?
Are you waiting to soar?
Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Well, you can run, but you can't hide.
There's no escape, from what's inside.
Well, we all live, and then we die.
Imagination helps you get on by. (x2)


Bluebird

Well, I was born.
On St Crispins day.
And the autumn sky.
Was a cloudy grey.
Oh, you ain't got nothing, babe.
That I couldn't take.

Oh, I was here.
I had my time.
I don't want to live.
I don't want to die.
When I say i'm leaving.
Know, that can't be right.

Catch me a star.
I'm falling deeper into you.
Catch me a smile from somewhere.
Anyone will do.
Make a wish on my rainbow.
While I play the fool.
Catch me your broken reasons.
Take it as I do.
Catch me your golden moment.
From out of the blue.
Catch me a star.
Catch me a light.
Catch my night.
Falling, deeper into you.

Now I can't breathe.
And I can't cry.
And I can't be drinking.
No good for my mind.
I been searching out for.
Things that I can't find.

From within the dark.
You can't see the light.
And within the tempest. Yeah.
It's hard to see the fight.
No, there's no escaping.
For the broken mind .

Catch me a star.
I'm falling deeper into you.
Catch me a smile from somewhere.
Anyone will do.
Make a wish on my rainbow.
While I play the fool.
Catch me your broken reasons.
Take it as I do.
Catch me your golden moment.
From out of the blue.
Catch me a star.
Catch me a light.
Catch my night.
Falling, deeper into you.


Catch Me [Outro]

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
