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
