- 1,000 Things
Where are the days, the childish ways?
They can’t be far behind me
She once lived here, my old friend fear
Ceaselessly to remind me
Yes, Yes I, Yes I hear you!
You may not hear the words I hear
But rambling is her song
- Annabelle Lee
Many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
There lived a maiden you may know
By the name of Annabelle Lee
No other thought did trouble her mind
But to love and be loved by me
We were children both
- Come Around
Just when you start to look away
And I don’t know what I should say
I can’t distinguish night from day
Then you come around
Just when things are lookin’ down
And everybody’s wearing frowns
The king went and misplaced his crown
- Come On Up To The House
Well the moon is broken and the sky is cracked
Come on up to the house
The only things that you can see is all that you lack
Come on up to the house
All your crying don't do you no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off your cross we could use the wood
- Green Lights
I hear your voice out in the darkness
Somewhere across the fresh-cut lawn
We're running barefoot through the wet grass
Nowhere to be until the dawn
(La-da-da...)
Up overhead the stars are burning
- Gypsy
I saw a gypsy today
She was beautiful
I couldn't look away
She was yellow and gray
The colors of the day
A bit too gorgeous
And not much to say
- House Of Mercy
In the middle of the night again
Still water and the birds don't sing
Cold gin in the back room humming
Medicating for the trouble that's coming
Walls rattle like a deisel freighter
Blood races like a wave
- Left Home
Left home to "Please come back."
Return; the rosebuds had already given their time.
Tonight public transportation's my private ride, hey.
I; I found my wings and I'm ready to fly.
Some things in life are better left unknown, for there would be no "Wanna know why"
- Shankill Butchers
Two, three, four...
The shankill butchers ride tonight
You better shut your windows tight
They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives
And taking all their whiskey by the pint
'Cause everybody knows
If you don't mind your mother's words
- Song Up in Her Head
The Virgin Mary
All dressed in blue
Sings 'My First Lover'
For an audience of two
New York boy
All dressed in black
Old leather boots
- Take Me Back
Take me back in time again
Stay with me like you did then
Take me as you find me here
Take me now, feel me near
Love like I never knew before
Someday will fade and be ignored
Nothing is forever anymore
