  Heard

I like you have, a secret to hold me a lifetime of those silent faces and I like you have, no conversationwhen it comes to social places. But it’s too late for the sun to warm me, too short a road to be swept a waySo loud and the baby won’t be heard, won’t be heardI may not know, hands of intrusion brought into infantile confusion. But I do know, words that scald the fever burning through you with no conclusion. But it’s too late for the sun to warm me, too short a road to be swept a way So loud and the baby won’t be heard, won’t be heard And you know nothing, you know nothing yeahYou know nothing, nothing at all, fine I’m sure

I like you have, a secret to hold mea lifetime of those silent faces and I like you have, no conversationwhen it comes to social places and it’s too late for the sun to warm me, it’s too short a road to be swept a way. So loud and the baby won’t be heard, won’t be heard. But it’s too late for the sun to warm me, it’s too short a road to be swept a way So loud and the baby won’t be heard, won’t be heard

The Real Thing

Armies to war, I have sent with the wave of my hand I have ordered the building of great stone temples block by block but by night I’ll creep unashamed to the bed of my slave girl And I’ll lay down my head at her beautiful feetYes I’m content to perform all the things she needs And the way she commands meIt’s the real thing, it’s the real thing, it’s the real thing, it’s the real thing

I have sumptuous feasts, laid out on my table as we speak and the shiniest jewels, adorn my hair and my skin but by night I’ll creep unashamed to the bed of my slave girl and I’ll lay down my head at her beautiful feet. Yes I’m content to perform all the things she needs And the way she commands meIt’s the real thing, it’s the real thing, it’s the real thing, it’s the real thing.

Masses have called, upon my door so I can save them from sin I’ve a great marble hall to hold my body when my story is told. But by night I’ll creep unashamed to the bed of my slave girl And I’ll lay down my head at her beautiful feet Yes I’m content to perform all the things she needsAnd the way she commands meIt’s the real thing, it’s the real thing, it’s the real thing, it’s the real thing

Jam

Skipping past the Sunday buildings wondering how lucky I am And everything I read in magazine it isn’t real it’s just pretend Baby what is real is when the raindrop on my tongue well it reminds me I want to run away And It’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do, it’s all that I can do.

Skipping past the Sunday buildings wondering how lucky I amThey say every time she sneezes I believe its love and I say every time you drop I’m here And It’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do, it’s all that I can do. I am not procrastinating I am just rejuvenating my soulI am not procrastinating I am just rejuvenating my soul

Skipping past the Sunday buildings wondering how lucky I am Everything about me beaming baby except my mouth it’s a sewer And it’ll turn your ears to jam And It’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do, it’s all that I can do. I am not procrastinating I am just rejuvenating my soulI am not procrastinating I am just rejuvenating my soul And It’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do yeah, it’s all that I can do, it’s all that I can do.

Easier Listening

How can we breathe when they’re standing on our lungs How can we hang for our mistakes when we’re already hung? How can we speak when they’re slicing off our tongues you know they do And I know this now, I know just who we are But we should just stay in bed Ignore everything they say Hold hands and just hold our breath Would it make it easier, easier to bear? How can we walk when they trip us as we go? How can we teach to those who simply don’t want to know? We can’t stop this river; we’ve got to let it flow And I know this now, I know just who we are But we should just stay in bed Ignore everything they say Hold hands and just hold our breath Would it make it easier, easier to bear?And I know this now, I know just who we are But we should just stay in bed Ignore everything they say Hold hands and just hold our breath Would it make it easier, would it make it easier to bear?

Baseball Cap Boys

Storm clouds will shatter and hearts will collide The morning whispers its whisper then hides And reasonable people will fall to their knees Just to pray to the gods of the birds and the bees Maybe they’re angry and maybe they’re pleased With all of my senses it doesn’t make much sense to me And happy go lucky yo yo’s will still Like the turn of the night when I’m losing my wil And reasonable people will stand on their heads Just to pray to the gods they call butter and bread Maybe they’re starving, maybe they’re fed But with all of my senses it doesn’t make much sense to me. And baseball cap boys will stop saying cool They will brush out their gel and return back to school And pretty young ladies will forget to shave Just to see how their hair follicles misbehave Maybe their cowards and maybe their brave But with all of my senses it doesn’t make much sense to me. And baseball cap boys will stop saying cool They will brush out their gel and return back to school And pretty young ladies will forget to shave Just to see how their hair follicles misbehaveMaybe their cowards and maybe their brave But with all of my senses it doesn’t make much sense With all of my senses it doesn’t make much sense With all of my senses it doesn’t make much sense to me. But with all of my senses it doesn’t make much sense to me. I realized

Alarmed

I feel a little bit afraid I feel a little bit stupid I feel a little bit alarmed and a little bit high I feel little bit twisted And a little bit sidewaysI feel a little bit alarmed and a little bit high And the silence is so lovely I can only fly over it alone, alone

I feel a little bit perverseI feel a little bit backwards I feel a little bit alarmed and a little bit high And the silence is so lovely I can only fly over it alone, alone

I feel a little bit pervers eI feel a little bit backwards I feel a little bit alarmed and a little bit high And the silence is so lovely I can only fly over it alone, alone

You Wish This

Give me back the sign that says vacancy Give me back my wide-open space Give me back my black black eye and my acrobat Give me back my purple swollen hear tAnd then you stand there telling me that everything’s alright You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this Give me back my time for convalescing Give me back my silently made bed But I have got my spirits when I need them But you don’t even want me to be red And then you stand there telling me that everything’s alright You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this Give me back my time for convalescing Give me back my silently made bed But I have got my spirits when I need them But you don’t even want me to be red You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this You wish this, you need this now, you want this, you demand this And then you stand there telling me that everything’s alright

Slow Motion

And flying's not the way to make ourselves better And lying face down on the floor won’t make it right I’ve got an uprising heart that hits without thought I’ve got an uprising hand that strikes out to understand why And I live and I choose and I laugh and I bruiseI want to believe in slow, slow motion And bare-footed roads don’t freeze my emotion And following you, well it don’t make it right I’ve got anger inside in me that anchors on you You are the one beside me who shows me the truth And I live and I choose and I laugh and I bruiseI want to believe in slow, slow motion And I swing from the hips and I fire lead from my lips I walk the road of devotion on my hands, on my hands I want to believe in etc

Sneeze

Summer is something I hope for all winter The wind through my veins the blistering wind Makes me drown in the air The cold is unfair to my heart Summer is something I hope for all winter And I love the smell of the trees and the stars late at night I delight in them all And I heard her singing way out loudIt was bringing me to cloud nine I thought it was love But when I saw the rising sun and I felt the light I realized Summer is something I hope for all winter I know that I sneeze but sneezing’s the way things should beI demand the release Summer is something I hope for all winter The blistering cold leaves me shivering down to my knees Oh shivering me! Oh and I heard her singing way out loud It was bringing me to cloud nine I thought it was love But when I saw the rising sun and I felt the light I realized Summer is something I hope for all winter I know that I sneeze but sneezing’s the way things should beI demand the release Oh and I heard her singing way out loud It was bringing me to cloud nine I thought it was love But when I saw the rising sun and I felt the light

Inside Out

Love is like an apple well you need it once a day And I always take pleasure in everything you say And I am not ashamed to be renowned for all these games But every time I touch you I can almost feel the rain And I ask of you no favors but I ‘m wishing that you are The person I can run to when I can’t run very far The person I can talk to when my words are out to seaThe person who knows me explains everything I mean And I’ve seen the moon glow orange as it’s sitting on the hill And it reminds me of my heart operating it’s own will And I ask for it to slow down just so I can breathe But it reminds me of the time that it was there to help me grieve And I ask of you no favors but I ‘m wishing that you are The person I can run to when I can’t run very far The person I can talk to when my words are out to sea The person who knows meInside Out, Inside Out, Inside Out, Inside Out etc

Strange World

Would you believe me if I said you were tainted I’d read you a bedtime story and hand you the gold coin A jangle in my pocket ain’t as half as comforting as you But this is a strange world you can take it out or leave it in And you’re a nice girl but you talk about love and then you spit it out And you’re a wise child but how the hell is anyone supposed to love you, to love you, to love you And I could walk on by the waterI could walk on by the girl with long blonde hairI could change my style but I can’t if I think you don’t care But this is a strange world you can take it out or leave it in And you’re a nice girl but you talk about love and then you spit it out And you’re a wise child but how the hell is anyone supposed to love you, to love you, to love you But you must remember who you are, who you are And you must remember, I am on your side, I am on your side But this is a strange world you can take it out or leave it in And you’re a nice girl but you talk about love and then you spit it out And you’re a wise child but how the hell is anyone supposed to love you, to love you But this is a strange world you can take it out or leave it in And you’re a nice girl but you talk about love and then you spit it out And you’re a wise child but how the hell is anyone supposed to love you, to love you, to love you

  Take Me Home

I can turn and face the sun until it turns black
I can walk around the world with the church on my back
I can jump like an ostrich into the sand
I can phone up the holy ghost and make my amends

but I don’t believe that I'll ever belong so take me home, take me home

I can buy myself a house with a view facing south
I can kiss your, kiss your, kiss your feet‘til there's dirt in my mouth
I can buy myself all the clothes that I never will wear
pretend I’m a leopard, wear bows in my hair

but I don't believe that I'll ever belong,so take me home, take me home
and Judas won’t ,he won’t tell me why
and Judas won’t, he won’t tell me why
but I forgot , I forgot what to do
but I don’t belong with you

take me home

Another World

baby if you’re never gonna come around, maybe you can amplify my sound
maybe you can in another world
honey if you’re not gonna get in my bed, maybe I can get you out of my head
maybe I can, in another world

oh everything and more
oh everything and more is all we have to explore
in another world

maybe I can wipe the smile right off your face, maybe I can introduce you to the human race in another world
maybe I can tell you you're a son of a gun, maybe I can tell you you're the only one in another world

oh everything and more
oh everything and more is all we have to explore
in another world

oh everything and everything more
oh everything and more is all we have to explore
in another world

maybe I can tell you you're a son of a gun, maybe I can tell you you're the only one

Best Years

slow down, don’t breathe don’t even make a sound
stand up , talk now, while I am stumbling around

not even tarred, not even brushed, it's all too late, and it's all much too much
can’t even run, can’t even hide,
from the best years of my life

wandering star my love, I have wandered from your smiles
wandering star my love, I have wandered from your sighs

not even tarred, not even brushed, it's all too late, and it's all much too much
can’t even run, can’t even hide,
from the best years of my life

not even tarred, not even brushed, it's all too late, and it's all much too much
can’t even run, can’t even hide,
from the best years of my life
