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 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 03:35
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
