ABOUT YOU

i think a lot about you
i think about you a lot
and when you're near me
my brain has a tendency to clot
all those fine crafted words
and bright gilded thoughts
that form a hairball
and get stuck in my throat

then my tongue it staggers and trips
performs cartwheels and flips
and all that dribbles out my lips
are pathetic reminders
that i need to stop drifting fast
and moor myself to a post
and learn a little bit
about being the host
and maybe then we can move to the coast

but i realise we need time
i'll be the pun to your rhyme
and we can make a limerick
in which the sun shines
upon a couple in much warmer climes
and there 2 becomes 3
or maybe 4, maybe 5
o! you shot me alive
big brown eyes and what a smile

i still think a lot about you
i think about you a lot
and though it feels like
so many years have gone by
i'm still in shock
and all that i caught was this cold
so i can't sniff out the breaks
or all the promises
that turned out to be fakes

so i'll need to stay slightly drunk
so i can't feel the chunks of heart and soul
that you tore out from deep deep inside me
because you never called, don't seemed fazed
or maybe you're incredibly brave
but someone told me that
you never ever really cared
and baby i'm o so scared that's the truth

and i know i won't be struck dumb
you're better off dead than numb
and i can't survive on these crumbs
that you've thrown me

it's just chicken feed

[back]

AMIN

get a grip, it's an instrumental

[back]

AND THAT'S WHEN I THINK (WHO TAKES CARE OF ME)

i close my eyes again
and count to nine or ten
and wonder who i am and
that's when i think
who takes care of me

everybody knows my name
and every day's the same
i wonder who's to blame and
that's when i think
who takes care of me

o, i look around
o, and you wouldn't believe
what i haven't found
o, i look around and
o, you wouldn't believe
what i haven't found

so i'm fumbling in the haze
and the signpost's writ with ways
so i wander in the maze and
that's when i think
who takes care of me

i know little and try to care less
because i don't know what's for the best
and i wonder what's for the best and
that's when i think
who takes care of me

o, i look around
o, and you wouldn't believe
what i haven't found
o, i look around and
o, you wouldn't believe
what i haven't found

AND THEN IT WENT BLUE

wide eyed boy
falling up
get the feeling
you're a dove

sleepy head
will never sleep
so much to do
so much to miss

something's happening
inside of me
i can feel the quickening
my heart's fast beating
something's happening
inside of me
i can feel the quickening
my heart's fast beating
inside of me

every sight
and every sound
drugs my spirit
spins me round

something's happening
inside of me
i can feel the quickening
my heart's fast beating
something's happening
inside of me
o what's this tingling feeling
tie me up pin needle string

something's happening
inside of me
o what's it gonna be
yellow butterfly
beat your wings

BIRDMAN

high upon the hill
all around is still
high above the town
looking down, looking down
night time all is still
in this black and white film
feet don't touch the ground
hear the beating sound

birdman
come on and be a birdman
birdman
come on and be a bird, man

CIRRUS HIPS

weightlessness
that's all i ask
bubbled up
till the storm has passed
meaning bliss a funfair mask
ether feet on paving gas

10,000 white balloons
bust the sky
turn them all to stars
right before my eyes
o! my inspiration
my inspiration

stratosphere
a friend be mine
it could be good
if we give it time
out here it's mine all mine
nobody in front or behind

10,000 white balloons
bust the sky
turn them all to stars
right before my eyes
o! my inspiration
my inspiration

o gentleness
please take my hand
and guide me through
this vicious land
cirrus hips to help me stand
cirrus hips to strut the damned

10,000 white balloons
bust the sky
turn them all into stars
right before my eyes
o! my inspiration
my inspiration

ÉCLAIR DE LOON

the rays of light that you once beamed
are hid behind the clouds you breathe
can it be we'll let it be
and everything that we
laughed about will be forgotten

wish we were
back where we were
even though who we are
is just who we wear

just because it's raining now
doesn't mean it's always rained
lift your head and you might see
the weather all around you change

and just because we don't speak
doesn't mean i can't say your name
can it be we'll let it be
for though the time is now ripe we
we'll prob'ly wait until it's rotten

i wish we were
back where we were
even though who we are
is exactly who we were

HIGH ON ME

would you take these thing from me
they'll put you to sleep
yes you and me
eternally

from the bottom of the stairs
to the bedroom gates
lead me there
be my slave

get high on me

would you take these things from me
play a part in my red light scene
now you are all over me
what song you gonna sing
suki? suki?

IT HAPPENED IN ACT 3

stormy clouds congregate
blackened in their front row seats
till the curtain they await
the cast of all he meet

down by the kissing tree
down by the kissing tree
the breeze his whispering
down by the kissing tree
down by the kissing tree
the boatman calls her in

and yes there's murder
across the sullen river
and yes there's murder
a dark and dulling figure

approaching road
clouds' applause
daggers cast for her rose
crimson tide beneath
shh...
shh...
can they hear her breathe

down by the kissing tree
down by the kissing tree
the breeze his whispering
down by the kissing tree
down by the kissing tree
the boatman calls her in

she goes blue in his heavenly embrace
from the grasp of his hands
fall her last thoughts apace
her whitening face
is slipping away
slipping, slipping away

LA PAONNE ENDORMIE

ce soir, c'est le soir
que j'essaie de me raccrocher
à une fille qu'on ne peut pas aimer
je vais tout juste
mais si fort que je sois
je ne suis qu'un homme

adieu, mon cœur
on a eu le bon temps
je crois c'est au revoir maintenant
adieu, mon cœur
je crois c'est au revoir maintenant
adieu, mon amante

parle à moi
tu remue la bouche
mais je ne t'entends pas
le cramoisi et le bleu
teignent les bouts du doigt
qui touchent mon esprit
j'attends seulement
moi, j'attends seul

adieu, mon cœur
on a eu le bon temps
je crois c'est au revoir maintenant
adieu, mon cœur
je crois c'est au revoir maintenant
adieu, mon amante

le silence est l'honnêteté
mais y-a-t'il quelque chose
que tu me dirais
une histoire paranoïde
j'essaie de me raccrocher
à la fille qu'on ne peut pas aimer
mais elle est partie
elle est partie

MOUNTAINS

my world crumbles at your feet
your voice is a gale, is a breeze
towering down on my knees
beside you, all i'll ever need

you love the birds, you love the trees
i love your laugh and your face when you sneeze
you love the sky and the sun and the leaves
i loved you before you could speak

mists around your head
you're a mountain, boy
wondrous to behold
you're a mountain, girl
eyes like cobalt mines
you're a mountain, boy
though you're easy to hold
you're a mountain, girl

my heart fumbles and misses a beat
for inscaleable faces
with a sweetness overpowering
i think it's rotting my teeth
but that's no matter baby
soup's all i need

you love the birds, you love the trees
i love your laugh and your face when you sneeze
you love the sky and the sun and the leaves
i loved you before you could speak

mists around your head
you're a mountain, boy
wondrous to behold
you're a mountain, girl
eyes like cobalt mines
you're a mountain, boy
though you're easy to hold
you're a mountain, girl

mountain, boy
mountain, girl
you're the peaks in my world

ONE FOR THE LOST ONES

i don't need you any more
it's because of all the things
that have gone before
strolling down this road
i stray past your old door
and i wonder
i wonder just what for
what for?
what for?

this is a song for the lost ones
and we are all the lost ones
this is a song for the lost ones
the lost ones
the lost ones

i don't see you anymore
time and again
the lonesome bird she calls
swooning through her song
i sway past her old thoughts
and i wonder
i wonder just what for
what for?
what for?

this is a song for the lost ones

this is a song for the lost ones
and we are all the lost ones
this is a song for the lost ones
the lost ones
the lost ones

SLEEPING PEACOCK

tonight's the night
i'm trying to hold on
to an unloveable girl
keeping it together
but as strong as i am
i'm only a man

so long sweet thing
we've had our good times
i guess it's goodbye for now
so long sweet thing
i guess it's goodbye for now
goodbye for now

speak to me
your lips they move
but i can't hear you
crimson and blue
dying the fingertips
that touch my moods
i'm just hanging around
hanging around

so long sweet thing
we've had our good times
i guess it's goodbye for now
so long sweet thing
i guess it's goodbye for now
goodbye for now

silence is honesty
or is there something
that you're not telling me
paranoid fairytale
i'm trying to hold on
to an unloveable girl
but she's gone away
she's gone away

so long sweet thing
we've had our good times
i guess it's goodbye for now
so long sweet thing
i guess it's goodbye for now
goodbye for now

SWISS ELECTROCUTION

man i got a voice
like a boxful of wasps
won't someone check my pulse
slip into the afterlife
through my coffee cup

am i still breathing
cos it's cold in here
am i still breathing
it's so cold in here

climbing up the walls
of the arsehole of this room
i need a rush of blood
buzz to irritation all
these damn fluorescent tubes

o there's been a robbery
cos i'm bored in here
there's been a robbery
i'm so bored in here

teetering on the brink
with the tunnel kings
me and steve mcqueen
trying not to think too much
about how they met their end

cos they were the men
and i'm so far from here
yeh they were the men
and i'm so so far from here

bite into the live wires
turn my head into a lightbulb
bite into the lightbulb
push my tongue onto the live wires
so i can torch this place
so i can kiss this place
goodbye

THE BEADS

so now the mystery
as you come to take me
what would i change
the regret and the rage

the time that's left
too small for the mess
the mess i leave
for the tv screen
no regrets
no regrets

push tonight
my ship is in
(i'm leaving)
fly my flag
set me sailing
(i'm leaving)
i'm leaving

so now the mystery
please let me be
blinded by faith
the belief and the cage

for an ideal life
did i idealise
should have lived the day
learned to touch your face
no regrets
no regrets

push tonight
my ship is in
(i'm leaving)
fly my flag
set me sailing
(i'm leaving)
i'm leaving

no regrets
push tonight
(no regrets)
my ship is in
(i'm leaving)
fly my flag
(no regrets)
set me sailing
(i'm leaving)
i'm leaving

TOOTH HOOKS

5 to 5
seems like 1895
last i checked my watch
to the end of all i've known

so long gone
gone for so long
end of an era

out here
outside
hook and eye
get in and drive blind
like wax
into the sun
melt and then i'm gone

so long gone
gone for so long
end of an era

UNTIE ME

stop playing with that dial
you're not the only one who's bored
please put down my guitar
and loosen those c(h)ords
if cupid had a kalashnikov
it might explain why i'm so sore
i know we said that love was out of bounds
well i'm not, so please untie me

i trusted you to truss me up
i call you out and you bust me up
you're the bitterest fruit i've chewed
so gentle but so cruel
isn't it now when you're meant to

untie me, untie me
though i'll suffer for your art
it's time to stop work on me
untie me, untie me
when i bruise it spells your name
i'm a billboard and i'll spread your fame
if only you'd untie me and raise the blinds
so summer can beat down upon me

you understand the mathematics of pain
and with your instinct for the rein
you keep me chewing at the bit
bathing while i call your name
like archimedes pondering the infinite ways
to make me pay for being so jaded

untie me, untie me
so it's not beyond a joke
yet i've heard folk say
it's in the timing, it's all in the timing
your sense of rhythm's pretty plum
you beat me like a drum
just like we all agreed upon meeting
but i'm still bound to you and you're fleeing
please untie me

the door slams, left alone
and i can't quite reach to turn the light on
naked with the stars
she'll be back tomorrow to untie me
daughter of venus and mars
come back and untie me
come back and untie me

VENUS ON THE VINE

far above the skyline
climbing i'll climb
paper aeroplane
turns to flames
pull myself to bits
the outward signs
of inner fears
are showing here

venus on the vine
now she swims inside
this time

my head it bursts
i don't know what's worse
feelings insane
a life mundane
put me back together
my jigsawed heap
in the name of help
i hope it fits

venus on the vine
now she swims inside
this time

VERTIGO

it's been one of those days
weeks, months, years
it feels you've lost your way
hope, love, fears
you're past caring

i don't know where i'm going now
i don't know where i'm gonna land
vertigo

you've seen all of those signs
time after time
you forgive but wonder why
and where to draw the line
are you past caring?

i don't know where i'm going now
i don't know where i'm gonna land
i don't know where i'm going now
i don't know where i'm gonna land
