Across The Night

Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping

I fell tired
Asleep in a golden ocean
Your eyes perspired
A spike in my fascination

I don't mean to make you cry
But these feelings will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry
With these feelings

Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping
Across the night
Across the night
Across the night
I hugged a man's arthritic shoulder

Sleepless, untamed
Without a leash on the light around me

I don't mean to make you cry
But these feelings will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry
With these feelings

Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping
Across the night
Across the night
Across the night
I hugged a man's arthritic shoulder
I hugged a man's arthritic shoulder

So let us be married
And have another baby
'Cause I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be alone

Yeah let's just get married
Shouting baby baby babies
Oh you'll never sleep at all
I don't wanna be lonely

Oh you'll never sleep at all
I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be alone

Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise
I don't wanna be lonely

Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise
I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be alone



The Greatest View

You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want noone
But you got someone

Through the wind you crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When noone else will ever see

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait for noone
And finally I know why you feel like letting go

I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here

Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack you tactic
Toes for the winter

Chain a waterfall
To burned and withered skin
When noone else will ever see

I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait for noone
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting me go

I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here

The greatest view from here
The greatest view



Without You

Miles away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out

Old incisions
Refusing to stay
Like the sun through the trees
On a cloudy day

And you brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
And I've waited for you so I'll keep holding on
Without you
Without you

Telephone
Socially scared and impaired
If the trees will bloom the wind can blow
Without the fruit falling out

Old incisions
Refusing to stay
Like the sun through the trees
On a cloudy day

And you brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
And I've waited for you so I'll keep holding on
Without you
Without you

Feels like the wind blows
Holding you with us
She takes no other
False light and ashes
Blooming like winter

And you brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
And I've waited for you so I'll keep holding on
Without you
Without you
Without you



World Upon Your Shoulders

All the bridges
In the world won't save you
If there is no
Other side to cross to

When you're not feeling ugly
And the world's not too much
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn burn burn burn burn
Take the world upon your shoulders

Half full glasses
Lost in empty houses

When you're not feeling ugly
And the world's not too much
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn burn burn burn burn
Take the world upon your shoulders

Violent, big and violent
Like a thing that's big and violent
A world that's big and violent

When you're not feeling ugly
And the world's not too much
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn burn burn burn burn
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders



One Way Mule

Let my spirit ride
On a one way mule
Blistered skin
In a cold hearted pool

Distant emotion
Hides a concrete wall
Naked and anchored
I'll climb right back to you

And love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you

Defect memories
In a cage by my bed
Viscid dreams
Stick to holes in my head

But a patient career of sleep
In a Sunday dress
Rides
My wake

And love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you

A stake-out just to find
The knife in a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back for you

And love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back for you

A stake-out just to find
The knife in a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
To you
To you
To you



Tuna In The Brine

I fondle keys to my heart
When everyone's heart
Seems so calm
And you found the lock to my dorm
And opened the doors to my trust
Fund my vestry

The light in my darkest hour
Is fear
Denies me of anything good so

Don't lose your heart
You'll need it
And don't lose your heart
You'll have to

Take another pill
And tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies
Like tuna in the brine

Take everything that you're not
And don't be so scared to
Tamper with "tampered with" evidence

'Cause you'll come along for the sun
If you come at all
The light in your darkest hour
Is fear
Denies me of anything good so

Don't lose your heart
You'll need it
And don't lose your heart
You'll have to lie amongst your lies
Like tuna in the brine

And don't lose your heart
And don't lose your
And don't lose your heart
To lose your heart
You'll have to take, take, take, take

Painting a lie
Seeing the colours but you
Seem closer to everything

Painting a lie
Seeing the colours but you
Seem closer to everything

Painting a lie
Seeing the colours but you
Seem closer to everything

Closer now than we ever have been
We're closer now than we ever should
We be closer now than we've ever been before
Closer to everything

Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble fables aren't changing many things
It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine
For my pregnant paws aren't changing anything

To all of the animals who
Keep sipping the sweat off my back
You're making me ill and I
Can't get enough

So take another pill
And tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies
Like tuna in the brine



Too Much Of Not Enough

She trips on a hole
That I dug in the soil
To be part of a human garden

And I couldn't stand
In the straight postured sun
But you stood in the mud
Which came unsoiled
When I came along
When I came along
When I came along

So you never stop needing
You never stop needing

A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
All we need is just a taste

I strapped myself in
For a safe saccharide
Before it started I tried

To be anything I saw fit
And it all seems to fit
But you came undone
When I came along
When I came along
When I came along

So you never stop needing
You never stop needing

A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
All we need is just a taste

Blind white lies
And shallow truth
Broken strings
And stolen youth
I've seen too much
Of not enough

But you came much closer than they had before
You came much closer than they had before
You came much closer than they had before

You never stop needing
You never stop needing
You never stop needing
And it's good for nothing



Luv Your Life

You don't know the truth
And I love your life
You don't know the truth
And I love your life

Thrust the candle
To the dark of your disease
Burn the fishplate
Execute ill memories
Labyrinth of sympathy
In which I'm lost and can't leave

And too much truth
Overshadows the lime lies
'Cause what lies beneath the clouds
Is an altered perception
And I'll pay for sanity
But sanity don't come cheap

You don't know the truth
And I love your life
You don't know the truth
And I love your life
'Cause you don't know the truth
And I love your life

You don't know the truth
And I love your life
You don't know the truth
And I love your life
And you don't know the truth
And I love your life

Flinch against the fire
But this ain't winter
And I'm all by myself

The way I want to be
Where I'm content to be
To be all by myself

And frozen eyes
Are bound to melt

You don't know the truth
And I love your life
You don't know the truth
And I love your life
And you don't know the truth
And I love your life

You don't know the truth
You don't know the truth
You don't know the truth
And I love your life

You don't know the truth
You don't know the truth
You don't know the truth



The Lever

Living your life
Like a bull in the trade
He doesn't know how it feels

Under my thumb
Like a bone under nail
She's in the know, how's it feel

Live your life
Under machine guns
Canary down the mine

Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever

Spoiling my broth
Like a radio kid
Programmed computerised minds

Waving my luck
Under your nose
Like I found a four-leaf clover

Live your life
Under machine guns
Canary down the mine

Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever

Turn the mirrors face the wall
Don't you feel a little weak
And I'll catch you when you fall
But you're falling all the time
Do you need it any more
Or do you need a little more

Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever
Maybe I'm on the lever

Turn the mirrors face the wall
Don't you feel a little weak
And I'll catch you when you fall
But you're falling all the time
Do you need it any more
Or do you need a little more
Do you need it any more
Or do you need a little



My Favourite Thing

Got my fever down
And weighed it up
And I know the sound remaining
Won't strain all the silt from my eyes

Bleach the green from the pastures
Feast on the grey of the night
Straight from the vines refusal to shine

You're my favourite thing
You're my favourite
The one that I love
The one so I'd die for your love

Blind the deafened moon
Stimulate the tombs of angels
Open my heart won't fall apart

So don't fall apart
You're my favourite thing
You're my favourite
The one that I love
The one so I'd die for your love

And I feel like letting go
And I feel like letting go

You're my favourite thing
You're my favourite thing
You're my favourite
The one that I love
The one so I'd die for your
Die for your love



After All These Years

Breathe in the night
That crushed a tired sunrise
Born again the day
Brings young naivety

A laptop souveneir
Is worth the weight in silver and golden sun
You'll be home again
And I'll be home again

Mend in my sleep
I'm boxing underwater
Waddle on the wake
Waking on a summer day
A summer day

And after all these years
Forget about the troubled times
And after all these years
Forget about the troubled times

And every father's pain
Casts a shadow over a broken son
You'll be whole again
And I'll be whole again

Munificient
Artless and asthetic
Playing like a scared
Enthusiastic pawn

And after all these years
Forget about the troubled times
And after all these years
Forget about the troubled times
The troubled times
All those years I was
Hurting to feel
Something more than life

All those years

And after all these years
Forget about the troubled times
And after all these years
Forget about the troubled times
And after all these years
Forget about the troubled times
The troubled times
All those years I was
Hurting to feel
Something more than life
