- A Strange Arrangement of Colour
A strange arrangement of colours
you found your feet where you put her
i'm after you, you’re after me
the things that we say, the things that we see
we've got to be reminded
where did you go?
- An Ordinary Girl
From an ordinary house, in an ordinary road,
From an ordinary town there came an ordinary girl,
A face that looked surprised, a book of dog earred loans?
Never made a sound, never said a word,
Nothing was ever seen, nothing was ever heard,
In an ordinary town, and an ordinary girl.
- Astray
and times move so fast, and now there does not seem to be any
and once it felt that there was more than plenty
I do believe that something somewhere sent me
To you, astray, and the bald raging flame of your heart is making me stay.
and I admit, that I have spent some time in confusion
Not knowing what is or is not illusion
Riddled with myself and destruction
- Avenue Of Hope
Along the avenue of hope
The footsteps falter, the fingers grope
and days, stretch out, beneath the sun
No-one's born, and no-one dies, no-one lives, so no-one cries
and we wait to see just what we will become
Don't let me falter, don't let me ride
Don't let the earth in me subside
- Cuckoo
You stand like a rock, on top of the mountain
Run like a river, fall like a fountain
The grass still is growing, the wind still is blowing, about you
Reels like a strain, drinks like a scholar
Drown in this town, you can feel for one dollar
Since when were you bitten, where were you smitten
- Deep Blue Sea
Deep Blue Sea
Glad to see, Sad to say
And get my things and get away
I've got a light beam soul inside my head
To get my gear and knock 'em dead
Like the sunshine, and the moon glow
And the light thrown on a deep blue sea.
- Fingerprints
If heaven is a place upon your skin
that I may have touched from without to within
then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin
and grin
We don't have to stay
with these people whose ideas
are just what other people say
- from your favourite sky
From Your Favourite Sky (оригинал I Am Kloot )
Do you dare, take a breath
Do you dream of a tragic death
I know you do
Do you wail, do you weep
Do you sing yourself to sleep
You delicate flower
- Gods and Monsters
Yearning, keep them burning, kepp them earning
Someones got to pay for all these televisions
There's children singing, and church bells ringing,
and people skipping merrily to work and dreaming
and dreaming
For maybe, you'll wind up crazy, and when you're drinking
You may start thinking that you're stupid and you're lazy
- Hey Little Bird
Hey little bird way up in the trees
Hey little bird singing to me
Why don't you come down and see
All the other little birds way up in the trees
Your life is the sky
Your future is the dawn
Reflected in the colours of the feathers you have worn
- Hold Back The Night
hold back the night
the streets are filled with laughter
soon i'll be after
you once again
come to my house and
say we're friends
i can't help but see
gone are the days
- I Believe
I believe
in the hallelujah chorus of the shopping malls
we say we cant, we know we shant, well of course we shall
Cause I've seen, I believe
That we are forever something which is incomplete
we trade ourselves for nothings and words are our conceits
I have seen, now I believe
- I Still Do
When I was a child
I looked up to the sky
Thought I saw you and I
In the clouds passing by
When I was a boy
I looked out at the sea
Thought I saw you and me
- Lately
Lately
it's been a struggle
to make up what is left
of my mind
I've been hazy
lazy, listless and trouble
and the crazies they still come for me
- No Direction Home
Crawl upon the earth, scour the universe you know
Set my compass north, circumscribe the earth and go - no direction home
Whats my part in this, whats this dream I cant let go
Whats your weight of this, what d'ya want to see and who d'ya want to know
You've no direction home, no direction home, no direction
Feels like all is lost, there's nowhere left to go
- No Fear of Falling
Through my sleepless days I've found
That in my dreamless sleep I'm bound
To one night hear the sound of your calling
Do not stumble through tonight, have no fear of falling.
And if nobody got lost and if no-one pays the cost
The price of this you may surmise is ever after
You won't stumble through tonight drowning
- Not A Reasonable Man
You're not having this, and I'm not having that
I'm not a reasonable man, I've come for it back
Let 'em all in, don't you know that I love a crowd
But I wont get the jokes, cos the laughter's too loud
I never was slight, or silent with you
For one hour of delight, in the gathering gloom
I've no reservations, I've got no room
- Only Role In Town
it's the only role in town
and it's always been around
get the keys we'll make a start
you've got the heart, you'll get the part
keep on walking, don't sit down
just keep on talking, i'll be around
i'll be around
- Over My Shoulder
Shut your mouth, and watch my lips,
Can you feel her healing finger tips,
Coming down, on you like rain,
So tell me now where do we remain,
Over my shoulder it goes,
and where it lands, you don't want to know
- Proof
Hey, could you stand another drink,
Better when I don't think,
It seems to get me through.
Say, d'ya wanna spin another line,
Like we had a good time,
Not that I need proof.
- Radiation
Hey, could you stand another drink
I'm better when I don't think
It seems to get me through
Say, d'you wanna spin another line
Like we had a good time
Not that I need proof
Swell, we're living in a hotel
- Same Deep Water As Me
Swim out to the ocean
Drown your thought out at sea
And dip your hands in the water
The same deep water as me
You've been watching for cloudbursts
You've been praying for rain
Drench your soul in the water
- Sand And Glue
Making it stick, drip upon drip, is that what you do, with sand and glue
Dont put out the light, let me see you tonight, cuz thats what I'll do, with you
Making it stick, drip upon drip, is that what you do, with sand and glue
Dont put out the light, let me see you tonight, cuz thats what I do, with you
What good is god or laughter, if you dont know what you're after whoo
Makes up the things that you do,
You're gutless and over-reaching, blessed and always preaching whoo
- Sold As Seen
You know the place where faces fit
i've heard they've got a name for it
lets go back to the sandy shores
the velvet skies are ours once more
we're fake, for real
our minds are steel
our eyes are green
- Stop
You think you're lovely, I know that you're wrong.
God made me ugly, so don't string me along.
Give me the good stuff, I'll leave you the rest,
Send me the good stuff and I'll put you to the test,
I'm going to.....
Stop messing around, cos what have you found
On the dirty ground.
- Stop Taking Photographs
Stop taking photographs, your brittle heart'll never bleed
It took your big head to succeed, it hasn't been a million laughs
So stop taking polaroids, of all the things that you avoid
There are no lessons in your path, so stop taking photographs
The naked lights revealed you, shattered and then sealed you in your dreams
and this loneliness has stripped you, unbuttoned and unzipped you til ya fell
apart at the seams
- Storm Warning
Hell for leather, lathered, drunk, you're soused,
You're pissed, you're sunk,
The juke box now is drunk, just along the way.....
I had a call on saturday to say I'd thrown
My friends away, reversed the charges on 'em all,
I made a lot of calls.
Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
- Strange Without You
ou know the faces, you know the places,
You know places where the faces fit
You always wanted, to never say it,
and now you wonder, well is this it?
I'm always screaming, dreaming
Strange without you, without you
- The Great Escape
You were born with football boots and a sun tan complexion
You once thought that on reflection, you'd really got it made
You shrugged and smiled and made the usual excuses
You suffered small abuses, and settled for their pay
You want to learn to live like earnerest the crat (an aristocrat)
You bought your girlfriends earrings well that soon put paid to that
and if the whole world came crashing, down around your ears
You could dream of stuck old wallpaper and crystal chandeliers
- The Same Deep Water As Me
Swim out to the ocean
Drown your thought out at sea
And dip your hands in the water
The same deep water as me
You've been watching for cloudbursts
You've been praying for rain
Drench your soul in the water
- To The Brink
Do you fancy a drink
I know a place called the Brink
Do you wanna go there
I can buzz off your smile
And there may be people you know there
They've got no rule of thumb
So on the counter I strum
- Twist
Twisted on destiny, fate and three wishes
We fuck and we fight, someone else does the dishes,
And meantime my memory reminisces and twists,
There was a time when we were filled with laughter,
Haplessly hoping happy ever after,
Did we string up a heart, let it swing from the rafters
And bleed.
