01. She Sings The Mourning

Down to the glen where the roses twine
Lie in the grass, watch the time go by
The Humdrum mid afternoon sun
Lonely Mother's only son/sun

Black jack tarmac, dirt dust track
Sister's certain wrapped in rags
Whispers words of un-???
Steal a smile from the scorpions dream??

She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning in the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry, we're out of sight
She sings the mourning in the quiet night

Blood red love knot, temptress eyes
Cuts right through the family ties
Light-house lights the locust nest
Sailor sights and writes incest

Out to the glen where the roses twine
Treacle tarts and turpentine
Patron saint of guillotine
Secrets safe when no-one sees

And she sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning in the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry, we're out of sight

And she sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning in the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry, we're out of sight

03. So Long Ago

I'm ????
Sand dunes are still
?????
December 1903
Buzzard on the breeze
?????

I said it's Heads or tails,
Icicles for sale
It's time to go,
Now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago

It was three days later
In a web of wires
Or so it seems
??????????????
Sand Dunes are still
Picture this scene:

I watched the????? unfold
In the morning cold,
The world will know
Now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago

Is that you over there?
You can laugh, you can stare
I don't care

I'll just say Heads or Tails
Icicles for sail, it's time to go
Now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago

 

04. The Operator

05. A Warning To the Curious

A warning to the curious
A message for the meek
It's better not to be in love,
Than to be inbetween

You, if I never had you
Then I wouldn't feel the way I do now
If I never had you

It was just a joke, you said
But now I'm warning you
On whose grounds do you dare to tread
When all your plans fall through?

You, if I never had you
Then I wouldn't feel the way I do now
If I never had you

-Guitar Solo-

A warning to the curious
A message for the meek
It's better not to be in love
Than to be inbetween

You, if I never had you
Then I wouldn't feel the way I do now
If I never had you
If I never had you
If I never had you
If I never had you
If I never had you
If I never had you

-Drum Solo-

06. In The Morning

Shut the bedroom window in the morning
Go to the shop make plans to (believe in? Be leaving)
In the morning
Thought I was sleeping, it was just a dream
An Ally cat chewing on dead meat
In the morning

Out of the dark, and into the light
When the morning comes I will be alright

When I leave, I try not to wake her
Tea and a toast to yesterday's capers
In The Morning
She wrote my name on the red telephone box
When I'd got there, she'd already rubbed it off

Out of the dark, and into the light
When the morning comes I will be alright

All this time, I watched her changed
But it's still the same

In The Morning
In The Morning
In The Morning
In The Morning


07. Something Inside Of Me

Something inside of me
Feels like I'll be wanting you forever
There'll never be another century
There's no time to think about the weather

When there's something inside of me
Something inside of me
Something inside of me
Now I can't look back

The invisible invasion
Is like a stranger strangled on the moor
Into the void for now I'm gone
5 in the morning I'll be knocking at your door

With something inside of me
With Something inside of me
Something inside of me
Now I can't look back

Oh please don't come (Aloof? Illuse?)
I know you think I'm bullet proof
Can't you see that it's hurting me?
What do you think I'm supposed to be?

When

Something inside of me
Feels like I'll be wanting you forever
There'll never be another century
There's no time to think about the weather

When there's something inside of me
Something inside of me
Something inside of me
Now I can't look back


08. Come Home

<coming soon>


09. Far From The Crowd

<coming soon>


10. Leaving Today

11. Arabian Sands

Arabian Sands
Feel it slipping through your hand
Arabian Sands

Arabian Sands
Madman's sleeping on the sand
Arabian Sands

Madman's in the desert, lookout behind you
Madman's in the desert, looking to find you
Madman's in the desert, promise ????
Madman's in the desert, looking to shoot you
Down in the desert, Madman's in the desert
Madman's in the desert, Madman's in the desert

Arabian Sands
Feel it slipping through your hand
Arabian Sands

Arabian Sands
Sweat of those who took the stand
Arabian Sands

Madman's in the desert, lookout behind you
Madman's in the desert, looking to find you
Madman's in the desert, promise ????
Madman's in the desert, looking to shoot you
Down in the desert, Madman's in the desert
Madman's in the desert, Madman's in the desert

Can you dance with the lepers in the madman's house? (x16)


12. Late Afternoon

It's late afternoon
Smoke fills the room
The actor sighs
Dogs barking outside
The night seems the same
It sleeps in the days
The actress cries
Their last goodbyes

It's always this way
Everytime
Everytime
You're passing me by

Days like these
Walk to the sea
It's too hard to find
The Mirrors collide
The end of the street
The place where we meet
Tears in our eyes
Stay for a while

It's always the same
Everytime
Everytime
You're passing me by

It's late afternoon
You entered the room
The music dies
Leaves us behind

It's all just a game
Everytime (x11)
