Lyrics:
Swirled up water 

From the source to the mouth
Along your banks and all
You know the glimmering in the sunlight and all that
the playful splashing and pearling in the small

Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river. 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name 

Joy and creatures swim in you
so you also refresh me
when I sit on your shores
under ancient trees
unloaded of all unhappiness
lost in dreams
Oh you life-giving wetness
always on the journey
take all the memories with you
take all the knowledge with you

Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river. 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name 

and  collect even so much more on the way

Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river. 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name, just the river with the name

night and day by night and day
from the source to the mouth
and far, very far beyond
we've put you in your place, 
enclosed you and changed your face
straightened and cherished you
without shame
we thought you to tame
 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name 
For days and days
It just did not stop to rain
You would not dream of such a stream
from a small brook to a raging torrent
It just did not stop to rain
And then you took everything 
Then you took
Then you took
You took everything
You took everything

Swirled up water

Didn't realise this wasn't up here! It's an early cut but not too bad we hope, and becoming many people's live favourite - it is, EYES BLEED!

EYES BLEED

WhiteYacht

oh it hurts to love a satellite
when it switches off its beam.
watch it gliding swiftly out of sight
to fall into the sea.
I guess I was no faithful wife
circumstances moulded me
swore submissive oaths by fading lamp light
befriended blossoms on forbidden trees
you know that I won't ask you why a baby died
camels choke on luxury
but I'll aak you on this darkest night
is there any good in me?
does it hurt to love a satellite
when it switches off its beam?
will you wait until the end of time for a wayward child 
and will you visit in my dreams?
oh it hurts to love a satellite
when it switches off its beam.
watch it floating as the last light dies
in a shower of debris.

I married the Mother-to-be in late Summer,
the weather was already start to change,
our future echoed backwards,
murder is a music box,
her master and his black words,
reindeer games and hall of shame,
who to blame? unspoken name,
can't say yes and can't say no,
to a Nephilim Dildo,

I married the Mother-to-be on 11th,
in the temple of nature, although not really,
a park full of crackheads,
bats were flitting through the sky,
but we followed where the tracks lead,
it was all doomed anyhow,
so I made a broken vow,
she poisoned me for a pillow show,
and a Nephilim Dildo,

I married the Mother-to-be,
we were homeless,
and the next day while we were panhandling,
an engagement ring was given,
the magic spell was blossoming,
her womb where life was living,
she'd sell it for an open door,
just like her mother before,
the barter bred and the don't-you-know,
and the Nephilim Dildo,

Nephilim Dildo

Happy Hat

** APOPTOSIS **

When my hands were growing in my mother's womb
my fingers were tied together 
by some living tissue.
Then came apoptosis and they were set free.
Now I can use those fingers to play piano keys,
and feel the joys of music.
It's a lucky thing that all my cells are mortal,
so that my human shape could be 
exquisitely carved.
I know this fragile shape is bound to die, 
but that's the price of being.

Apoptosis

I asked Xian3 if he'd like to add his input to a previous dance song instrumental.  IMHO, his vocals give it an 80's on-the-dance-floor feel.

Lyrics:
There are chords D, A, C, E, 
But no N. 
where’s N?
On the dance floor,

Again,
These chords D, A, C, E, 
But no N. 
where’s N?
On the dance floor.

There’s E as a solitary chord,
But where’s L, O, V?
Where’s its companions? Huh?
On the dance floor,
On the dance floor. 

D, A, C, E,
L, O, V,
N side,
The dance floor. 

N, R, Y,
with E and G,
And B and T
With E and A,
Where?
WHERE?
On the dance floor,
On the dance floor.

D, A, C, E,
L, O, V,
N side,
N side,
N side,
The dance floor.

D, A, C, E.

If you don’t like?
Then you can…
L, O, V it,
Or L, V it. 
If you don't like, 
then you can,
L, O, V it
Or L, V it,
On the dance floor 
On the dance floor.

Solo piece, gentle start, semi orchestral feel, builds to crescendo, having fun with music ;)
