All hell’s crashing down inside

The windows to the other side

Shimmering in rooms to quiet sighs of

‘Oh well if it’s happening there

And when it happens it's like
Honey and pain
Horns in the rain
Misty seas and mysteries
A dog with no name
It's that time again
Not sure if I'm sleeping
But the vision's as clear

"Am I Wrong"

All they tell me is hope
All they tell me is lies
I can't hide so I run
Across the globe like a spy
But the sun makes a hole
Burning right through the sky

"Anymore"

I would not tell you how I feel
Anymore because I've seen
How men find offence in reason
I save my heart for my family
My soul for work,
My mind in moving through the world.

"Beanni"

His name was Beanni
Say where you been Beanni
I saw you on your skateboard
But I never saw your face
Just saw your beanie
- Beanni.

Meet me. Underneath the neon light
We'll go wandering into the night
There's something underneath the beat of control
Something. A music that is beyond all
Something. A music that is beyond all

You go to sleep, you wake up, you do it again
And there's a beat, you make up inside of your head

"Blasting Away"

All in or none at all
I'm just speaking myself
Out here this light's a ball
Oh no where am my looking from?
They say they'll own my thoughts

"Boogaloo"

There's a soul man
And he's shuffling in my head
He lived, oh he lived, oh he lived, oh he's living
And I'm never going to grow old wishing
Could have my time again

Four steps in the morning,
Two steps in the day,
Three steps in the evening,
The darkness is a’blazing all the angels’ seats
And soldiers step to liberate
Ola e, ola e

I run out like a cheetah

No way, no way
The bulls inside my head!
I say, I say
The flag I wave is red

Don't know myself, don't know myself
Better I've hide in somebody else
I won't stop the hurricane, won't stop the flooding

Sometimes I feel no armour.
Sometimes I feel no ground.
Sometimes I feel the sky won't open,
And turn these words around.

At night I am woken by images of the flood, oh oh,
I'm living on the border,
I'm living on the mud.

"Creature"

Wake up in the evening
Stumble out of bed
Get off the bus and God knows
Need to clear my head
Daylight into darkness
Memories will fade

"Daggers Drawn"

Just beyond the velvet curtain
Of your dark and empty room
All the gutters run with silver
Underneath the light of the moon

I can see you there drawn and pacing

To the gods in the sky
There's one thing you can do
You can send us some sun
And we'll play you this tune
Because sitting in our room
Lying down with a scoob
And the sunshine
Through our window

"Down At The 303"

I want some culture
Never mind the cheese
Just want to hear music
And originality
I want some culture
Never mind the TV

Hold your breath and watch the eagle go
My darling lives forever and ever amen

I want to do something right
I want to get something started
Hyenas come at night
I light my candelabra
You said that the Dalai Lama said

From the city to the world below
From the strangers to the ones I know
From the darkness to the holy glow
We burn so bright
Can we outlast the show?

From the island to the world of dreams
From the future to the times I've seen

I used to ride up on the hill
And look down at the darkened silhouettes
Of tall black windowsills
And my heart jumped every ledge

Till one bright morning when I woke
I heard bells, girl she gently spoke
And said "Choice my man's to breath or choke

I left the house left the room with the foxy on my back
And my supplies in a magic pack
And I followed the sound of music
Not up a hill ... but down to an old wharf shack

Inside I heard the trumpets call
I salute to the champions on the wall
And in the Jazz of squalls and impassioned brawls she danced

Enough of this world I want to be free
I know I’m not lying, but what does that mean?
Enough of this day I want to just sleep
But the bullets all flying in the back of my dreams
Enough of this high, enough of this spree
I want to go down where the deep goes deep
In the back of my mind see a Haka face me
Man you going to die? Nah, I’m gonna live

Hello
Walking down the street
With some evil in my eye
And some thoughts in my head
That were making me feel high
On my head was a hoodi
In my ears was some bass
Was walking by my dog

Sur une route noire du désert
'Y avait du vent dans mes cheveux
L'odeur des colitas s'est levée comme l'enfer
Et puis loin devant moi
J'ai vu une lumière toute petite
Ma tête est bien lourde
Mes yeux se sont foncés
Il fallait m'arrêter pour la nuit

When a room becomes an altar
And what beast that must exist
It flies with music from our lips
And steals a kiss and blows it
Out into the mist
Where castles stand on cliffs
And cobbled streets they wind and drift
And moods are made and set but shift

I've got a key
And a piece of paper in my pocket deep
In my pocket piece of paper and a key
as I wander through the street
War is there a war
or is there isn't a war anymore?
Somebody told me that nothing is for sure
Can you hear the ocean roar

"Know Your Name"

Know your name
And sing it loud
Know your na-a-a-a-ame
Though I'm saying this again
Know your name
And sing it loud

Sur une route noire du désert
'Y avait du vent dans mes cheveux
L'odeur des colitas s'est levée comme l'enfer
Et puis loin devant moi
J'ai vu une lumière toute petite
Ma tête est bien lourde
Mes yeux se sont foncés
Il fallait m'arrêter pour la nuit

I know my way, I know my star
Marina mas allá
No one fears who we are
Marina ven para acá
Always near, always far
El cielo alcanzarás
Know my way know my star
Es vida lo que das

Girl in the park one day
Killing all the bugs on the pavement
Seems like she got a nasty streak
But she does it in a beautiful way

Like a bullet from a gun
She sparks and then she runs
The only thing she's sure of

"Luck Song"

So by now you have seen me
By now I have seen you
Would you, would you, would you
Move with me?

Looked through a looking glass

I cannot say oh sweetness
like he could
and I cannot play a lullaby
like it should

Ill give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but

WE BELIEVE
In the grass in the trees
WE SUPPORT
Living life cause life is short
WE UPHOLD
Sky of blue sun of gold
WE MAINTAIN
On sunny days all sadness and pain be relieved

Only when the lights are dim will you see me shine
When all the beautiful people let their spirit fly
Look in their eyes
Look in their eyes
At midnight the dance floor brings out all her kings and queens
Leave everything behind this is your place to be
Look at them rise
Look at them rise

Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky
on a night when the skies echoe sounds
from inside of your mind
on the stage that you shone
where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts

"Miss Soul"

Miss Soul won't you tell me all the pretty things you need
I got my shopping list of love right here,
Remind me what's the 1, 2, 3
And if I get you all those lovely things my working money buy
Oh won't you gimme some, could you gimme some, do I get a little piece of that honey pie?

Set in motion my imagination’s miles
A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my
Young trials lead me sailing down this stream
Of hidden songs and steam and my
- Piano it floats and echoes
A moonbeam through the kite she sent
Read ‘Is your wooden boat in sight?’
And while I replied ‘it’s not’

"No Longer There"

And though you'd like to hear a song
That sings everything's all right
The temperature is warm
The fire horses sleep
So gently comes the night
Now close your eyes and stare

No mountain can see
But sometimes a mountain can sing
Or hum at least I have heard one
Humming on the evening we ...

And no horizon can sleep
But sometimes horizons can close their eyes
And drift into one moment somewhere

Some days I wake

and I do look outside

and I know what I see

And think the dream from where I've come

Yesterday
The sky looked sweet
When we dropped
A big bomb at our feet
And sometime soon
We all might zoom
To space and continue
With another zoo

Don’t send me down the hole
Don’t send me down the hole
Don’t send me down the hole
Which way will it go go?

You never never know
You never never know
You never know the right way

Listen doctor I have pain
That grows inside myself
Shelf me please
I just can't ease the pain
I need some drugs to help
Ah pollution fills my lungs
And convolution fills my mind
Ah my legs do ache

"Open Up Your Face"

While the traffic hums
When the madness comes
As the wire buzzes
While the weary run
Like a flower that reaches out its fingers to the rain
Like a bird that flies above the gutters and the graves

"Panama"

I was in a plane to Panama,
When a fly landed on her thigh,
And though I brushed it off quite brashly
I introduced myself
And she said her name was Sky

I’ve done too much of some things
And not enough of others
Just like all life lovers
I’ve changed and changed and changed and changed
From one thing to another
I’ve had complicated dealings
With complicated feelings
And I’ve cut and bruised and torn

"Radio Song"

Don't want to hear you say it's not when something's wrong baby
Don't want to hear you say it's nothing when it's not, cause I
Don't want to love you like that radio song, honey
Don't want to love you like that radio song

Before we go I'd like to play with you again

"Rhyme And Reason"

Rhyme and reason
Reason and rhyme
We asked the old man
"What is the time?"

"The time" he said

"Rising With The Sun"

Hear me when I come
And carry me away
Don't misunderstand
When you hear me say

You're The Only One

Saturday night
Guess you've heard this song before
In my city of lights
Til the early dawn

Saturday night
Moving on the floor
When you're moving it right

I saw you walking up the wall
Like the exorcist
When you saw me there you called
Can you spare a fifth?
I used to know you when you were small
How's it come to this?
How does a happy, bright boy
Fall into the rift?

"Side To Side"

We got soul
Soul, soul, soul tonight
We got soul
Shake and we provide
1, 2, 3, 4-

"Siente"

Siente L'amour but that is only half of the score
You fucking sangangui so long aufwiedersehn adiu
You had us feeling blue, but now I'm gonna jive
I am the sky

(Yeah, and it's true)

"Sleep Won't Sleep"

Sleep won't sleep her eyes won't fall
Desire's going to carry me down to the shore
All night on the other side
I'll be with you on the other side

Cos Dead they dance their songs can sing

if frisy hair was a metaphor
for festival time
then this woman is a goddess
of that festival shrine, met her
- at a jam
in that garden of sorts
i must confess god bless
some impure thoughts

The bus drives over on a mellow scene
We've done this five nights and tomorrow's free
Oh I say, tomorrow's free
And I seem to meet it in the morning and no sleep
But I can't keep myself from wandering

Next night down in Montreal
And when it rains I guess it pours

It doesn't matter what I say It doesn't matter what I do
It seems I'm gonna have to change my look for you cos
I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far
And I think that we could float from evening to the stars

When I see you in the distance with your friends
I look around then I look down at my threads
It's inappropriate that I should present like a

It doesn't matter what I say It doesn't matter what I do
It seems I'm going to have to change my look for you cos
I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far
And I thing that we could float from evening to the stars

When I see you in the distance with your friends
I look around and then I look down at my threads
It's inappropriate that I should present like a

Sola, sola
Maravillosa estás
Sola, sola
Como una estrella
Sola, sola
Bailando en la oscuridad
Sola, sola
Brillando hasta el final

Meant to meet you but I couldn't stay
Till now never knew how life tears you away
Now I wait for the springtime in Spain
My love

A beautful being's so sad and so strong
You gave me a story you gave me a song
When he played is guitar she would weep

"Song For The Day"

Awake.

Can you imagine, how much time
We've spent round here?

Enough to say that we have seen

"Strong Coffee"

It's like the sound of St. Petersburg bells banging in my head
The night train rattle shake and rumble through that cabin bunk b-e-e-e-e-e-d
Now Sigmund said something about this super static travel tension that we get
My magic woman met this woman while the wheels squealed and the tracks they gripped and sped

My Maria got me thinking about soul in a whole new way

The weekend is the weekend
And its sunny in the park
Ill stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark
Ive got a lot of homework
But homework he can wait
I never start my homework till its already too late
My parents say think about your future and my teachers say the same
But its hard

This is a song that came upon me
One night
When the news it had been telling me
About one more war and one more fight
And 'aeh' I sighed but then
I thought about my friends
Then I wrote this declaration
Just in case the world end

"The Conspiracy"

Well... walking along,
The feeling of an outcome,
The outcome of the day,
The answers, they say,
Are burning in the sun,
Are burning in the sun,

Lord unchain my hands
let me sing inside the crowded trams
let me dance among the traffic jams
we're going to sleep
on the St Kilda sands

Lord unbind my feet
let me mingle with the good people we meet

"The Darkness"

Something...
Something kissed my lips
Something
Something brushed my fingertips
The north winds battle in the car park
And the darkness, is the darkness

I had nine lives but i lost all of them
And i've been searching in the night
And i've been searching in the rain
I tried to find them
But they disappeared
They walked away they dressed in black
They left my side and all i say
Is that i wasted time

У меня было девять жизней, но я потерял их все,
И я искал в ночи,
И я искал под дождем,
Я пытался найти их,
Но они исчезли.
Они ушли, они оделись в чёрное,
Они покинули меня и все, что я скажу,
Что я зря потратил время,

I had nine lives but I lost all of them
and I’ve been searching in the night
and I’ve been searching in the rain
I tried to find them
but they disappeared
they walked away they dressed in black
they left my side and all I say
is that I wasted time

Whoah
Up up and down from the country to the town
From the streets to the city from the sky to the ground
in the alleyways
When the mad noise sound we be looking
But still we haven't found what we're looking for
For all of our days. Searching out prophets
In this great big haze

"The Night That Never End"

One night when I was sleeping
A gypsy woman sneak into my head,
and she said,
"I've got a bottle of schnapps
Let's get to know each other drinking,
A belly full of laughs

"The Return"

The sun comes up and it shines
On the back of the night time
The man in black he arrives
And says 'where is my feline?'
We say 'the cat, who can know?'
Just the way the creatures lie in the night

And for all of the sweet loving that
I have received
In the sun in the rain
By the moon by the sea
There is one time that I'm thinking of
One time where one woman
Did knock me off my feet
And my knees were shaking

Song and melodies change and change
and sway
but they still stay the same
the songs that we sung when the dark days come
are the songs that we sung when we chased them away
if I ever found a pot of gold
I'd buy bottles untold of the nectar of the vines
I'm going to die with a twinkle in my eye

One day one woman asked him
‘what do you to survive?’
he said ‘oh my dear listen here’
and this is what he cried

On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing
‘dancing to be free’
my feet they’re paying tribute to

"Voodoo Cowboy"

His mother was a snake
His father was a scarecrow
Born in the desert with his hat on his head
Never missed a shot
Sharp as a pharaoh
Tequila in the sunrise

This is the last time I will follow you
This is the last time I will follow you at all
Cos woman you’re my trouble
And woman I’ve been trouble and despair
My only care
Is standing here waiting when you’re out there

The wind comes down and all our youth is in loose pages

"Waltz"

Was going to write a song at a time
When my life and my moods were in order and fine
But the hour was late and my room was a state
And I realized that song I would never create
So this is a song I discovered instead
A song about living before we are dead

"Wandering"

Well they say and they say,
And they say this is home
But we've been wandering round here too long,
With no direction to go.

Walking and wandering and wondering why

"Wanted To Write A Love Song"

Sun slink down said
"Oh such sexy time of day".

For those who call it romance
Haven't learned 'bout the nature of those rays.

Well the ghost at my side
Sings staying alive
And it come here tonight
To get cornered and tied

We're gonna run like wolves
We're gonna run like wolves
We're gonna run like wolves

"Won't Be Afraid"

Well I've been at the top of a cliff and seen ships go sailing away
And I've watched the sea turn green and bright blue fish swim in the shade
I've imagined skies in reverse and heard stormy mountains collide
And I was there by the shore on the night when the stars all married the tide

When the time arrives

I had nine lives but i lost all of them
And i've been searching in the night
And i've been searching in the rain
I tried to find them
But they disappeared
They walked away they dressed in black
They left my side and all i say
Is that i wasted time
