Everlast
04:31
|
|||
In the love of the dead and the deadwood spine
In the light of the moon and the midnight swoon
She heard them in her mind
Speak, let us speak
Can you feel our energy?
Can you sense our ways to be?
When you know I find a way
When you know I find a way
Ooh everlast
Everlast
Through the rain
Ooh it's the sweetest pain
In the love of the dead and the deadwood spine
In the golden embers she saw the scene he remembers
Remembers
She heard them in her mind
Speak, let us speak
Can you feel our energy?
Can you sense our ways to be?
When you know I find a way
When you know I find you
Ooh everlast through the rain
Ooh it's the sweetest pain
Ooh time and time again
Sing Auld Lang Syne
Sing Auld Lang Syne again

Lady of the Night

Lady of the night
It was a blustery day when I remembered your face
Men and women, you said, can't be friends
It was a summer's night I sat in your place
In the inner-city kitchen
Where you made marzipan dessert
Exotic, hypnotic, rhapsodic
Lady of the night
You showed me how things can become
From your worldly-wise position
You were the catalyst from which I would run
From the inner-city kitchen
Where you made candy apples glow
Exotic, hypnotic, rhapsodic
Lady of the night
Quietly in the morning light
You sat and you'd soak
Your dreams so white
In the inner-city kitchen
Where you made mascarpone snow
Exotic, hypnotic, rhapsodic
Did you ever find home?

Misty Street

|

Misty Street I walked your cobble stones
On a lonely London winter's night it was so cold
But the light I breathed in from Alice's smiling eyes
Was somethin' to behold
Now blossoms fall and scatter like snow
There's magic in the universe
Alice steps in beside me where white lilies grow
She still dances she guides me
She dances
Dances
She guides me
Alice dances and saves my soul
We danced in time to Ella
Every time we went outside it snowed
I want the world to know how true her beacon glowed
She still dances she guides me
Alice dances and saves
Saves my soul
She dances she guides me
She dances
Dances
She guides me
Alice dances and guides
Guides me home

Sad Songs
02:54
|
|||
I used to write sad songs
I still do sometimes need to sing the blues
But I've shed some skins that made me
Blind to the love inside
And I want to learn to play the piano like Burt used to
To share this love inside
I used to like sad songs
And if truth be told I still do
Cos we all feel the blues sometimes
But I've shed some skins that made me
Blind to this love inside
And I want to learn to play the piano like Burt used to
And share the love inside

When I hear breathing
Boats and birds
They harbour
In a nighttime trance
That's where I sleep
Near the dreams I keep
Dreams
Next to ghosts in a ballroom dance
Whistlin'
I heard whistlin' 'cross a bay
I'd never known I'd never see again
So long
So long since I've looked that way

Liberty
02:16
|
|||
The sun it beat
The path I meet
Down
What if I'm a lightning conductor
In some kind of motel chaos?
Intersituationist
Gripping onto liberty
Watching out for things unseen
When I lay my hands
Outstretched and command
The birds to fly
I blow them a kiss
And earthbound I remain
Intersituationist
Gripping onto liberty
Watching out for things unseen

Multiplicity
04:06
|

I am multiplicity
You are here with me
To watch the world
Turn
We raise the roof
Threads of light darned above us
Mesmerise
Ooh Ooh
You are multiplicity
Side by side father and son swing
To watch the world
Turn
They raise the roof
Threads of light dance above us
Mesmerise
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I've stopped fighting laid down my knife
Don't hear voices that make me blue
Don't want a wish that causes grief
Don't want to fall and forget to breathe
It's all so easy when you change the scene
When you remember
Raise the roof
Threads of light darned above us
Mesmerise
You are multiplicity

Rainmaker
02:50
|
|||
Expect me home tonight
It's a miracle I caught the train
Cos I was losing head room
You are the rainmaker
I am the rock
You are the ground breaker
I am the earth
This earth sheds tears needs water
This rock feels pain needs to lay on
Lay on soft grass
Release the morning glow
The thunder claps the lightning sparks
And I feel you hold my hands my heart
Through the downpour
You are the rainmaker
I am the rock
You are the ground breaker
I am the earth
This earth sheds tears needs water
Needs water
This rock
This rock feels pain
This rock feels pain needs to lay on soft grass
The thunder claps the lightning sparks
I feel you hold my hands my heart
Through the downpour

Croon
02:56
|
|||
Be not afraid of the rocking cliff side
In the bracing night
Take shelter from its shelter
Along the highway where shadows linger
Linger
As the mist sinks in
She fills the flowing white dress
With virginal quiet finesse
There's no human sharpness that isn't groomed
Oh oh
Oh oh
At 24 would you appear in the rotogravure
The real claim to fame
Where the free spirits roam
Where the free spirits drive
Spirits drive
The myth they enhance
Will you fit into these wings I built thee
Will you fit into these wings I built thee
I croon will you swoon
There's no human darkness
There's no human darkness that isn't learned
Learned
I croon you swoon
Oh oh
Let the blue skies let you sleep

Seagulls
03:16
|
|||
Ha ah ah ah
Ha ah I live near the seagulls
Cos that's where you'll be
Ha ah and likely where I'll see
Iridescent figures
Flying free
Ha ah before bourbon and colas
Ha ah after seventeen-year-old poetry
Ha ah a backyard full of togas
I'd never known that summer's night would get so
Complicated
Ha ah my friend got married early
Ha ah to the one that didn't stray
Ha ah and when we get together
She's reminded of the reason she stays
Ha ah and lives near the seagulls
Ha ah cos that's where he'll be
Ha ah and most likely where they'll see
Iridescent reflections
Flying free
Meant to be
