Alpha is an English electronica group, comprising founding member Corin Dingley, vocalist and lyricist Wendy Stubbs and Hannah Collins; other founding member, Andy Jenks, left the group before the release of their 2007 LP "The Sky Is Mine". Originally working under the name "Ariel", the duo of Dingley and Jenks came together in 1995 after both had worked on various projects in the Bristol area, home of trip-hop groups Massive Attack and Portishead. Like Massive Attack, Alpha recruited singers to add vocals to their downtempo, beat-driven compositions of the late 1990s, which led to them being included in the category of "Post Trip-Hop". "ComeFromHeaven", their debut LP was the first release on Massive Attack's Melankolic label in 1997. They are currently on Don't Touch Recordings, a label they founded. A collaboration with Reggae vocalist Horace Andy, entitled Two-Phazed People, was released in August 2009. Corin Dingley, one of the founder members of Alpha, has finished the 15th release for Alpha; it features vocals from Kate Stables, This Is The Kit, Jesse D Vernon, Morning Star, Jamie Gingell, Secret Shine, Hannah Collins, Wendy Stubbs, and Joe Cassidy.

Come From Heaven
*** Thanx To Denis who corrected my own interpretation ***
Rain Wendy Stubbs : I stare, I tear, I creep, sleep I taste your breath, your lips sweet I will be there to feel. Tripping, falling, sailing by Beyond the wind in the sky I will be there to free your mind. It's you I see in slumber It's you I see in sleep It's you I see in my dreams It's you, it's you, it's me. It's you. Rolling on the ground with Sailing on the sea Tripping in the grass Oh, to do with you Oh well, oh well, nevermind I wouldn't have care. Dazing, glazing, amazing Frozen moments Crazy thing Another moment to, Know that you never Get out of my way I'm coming through Wheels splayed out looking for, Someting new, I'm crazy guy with the missing hue.
Sometime later Martin Barnard : Touch my hand It's only me, listen I'm here. Come to stand In sultry fields With you. And now Old dummy day I know Is over this way. I'm laughing Saw you gonna kiss me You see Yeah as I said. One day she won't A lonely bird Alone. Judgement day Saw the world it's gone Unheard. Sold the sea A lot how it feels to me. I hate the word it's sad to see I take your weight And your heart fades away Today a renegade To lay in woods By the pheasants. I mean it You don't Force on my head Kill our nightmare. A lonely bird, a lonely bird A lonely bird, a lonely bird A lonely bird, alone. Colour me Cover me in the colour that reminds you Solemnly. Could make the same mistake And you would never know That I am, that I am Alone, now. Something, something Tells me that you Have something On, all of us now You're heaven Taking over me now Colour me hate Raw little nerve Colour me and pull us Only home Me home. Hold the sun down Hold the sun down Hold the moon down Leave me to rest Want the world man Too the words out Only relief is To slip through the nets Hold a minute And stop a minute And go, oh oh Hold a minute You said to me Said to me and Breath, breath, breath, breath, breath ... You said it to me Sometime later. *** Thanx To Denis and Koen and Goreckigirl who corrected my own interpretation *** Delaney Sample : Michel Legrand from "Delaney takes a break" I've never pretending have the truth Anyhow I should listened to you I'm very sorry Is it right now. Helen white : Be a friend Don't learn at my expense So concerned Despite your empty words I care, be there But leave me breathing Don't despair I know why I'm so alive Martin Barnard : Heads, to say you have it Tails to say you don't Lost for words and I think Time to take you home Caught you up a ladder Trying to end it all Is it any wonder I believe them all ? Martin Barnard & Helen white : You don't see it do you ? You shouldn't play God You got something on your mind Just knock it off You smile a little more You stop saying no You don't seem to be the trying type after all Martin Barnard : I break your fall and say You could have been nothing Helen white : Be a friend Don't learn at my expense I care, be there but Leave me breathing Don't despair I know why I'm so alive To leave me breathing Don't despair I know why I' m so alive Martin Barnard & Helen white : You don't see it do you ? You shouldn't play God You got something on your mind Just knock it off You smile a little more You stop saying no You don't seem to be the trying type after all Martin Barnard : Sight of nothing Sight of the world Sight of the Sight Helen white : Be like everyone else Be like everyone else Be like everyone else Martin Barnard : Do you like, do you like me, let's go away Helen white : Be like everyone else ... Martin Barnard : Any day now we could leave town, Down, take a car in London Town, take a London
Slim Helen White : Step outside And feel the warmth Much stronger than inside Crazy path That lead you here Creates a place to hide. And I'm scared to be so heartless I'm hoping that you'll learn There's only one and that is you And I'm scared to be so heartless I'm hoping that you'll learn There's only one and that is you Frightened eyes take in the view Forgetting how it feels Look around, believe yourself The world outside is real And I'm scared to be so heartless I'm hoping that you'll learn There's only one and that is you And I'm scared to be so heartless I'm hoping that you'll learn There's only one and that is you Gave myself to you No one can deny I'm still waiting 'til you be So content to feel Can't despise myself I'm still waiting 'til Leave me break my heart Can't control the pain I'm still waiting 'til.
Back (Opening poem by Sylvia Plath) But toward the region where Our thick atmosphere diminishes And God knows what is there A point of exclamation marks that sky In ringing orange Like a stellar carrot Its round period displaced in greens Suspends beside it a first point The starting point of evil Against the new moon's curve Martin Barnard : So that I see And know I gave reason The time to believe It's all in my head The sun that I see Is just an illusion And I live close to the edge This time taking time This sun, sun is high Sang a tune, sang a tune, sang a tune Everybody talks to you Everybody talks to you Turning like it ought to Turning like a wise will Saying like it hasn't Soul see, soul set Soul see, soul set Calling her name Called in nirvana Time and again Alone that I work Take this and more And time in together And why are you close to the edge They say just to add The wilder world is a trap I see just to add you to that For he was the sun The comet rushing along And she, new to that Turned her back Does everybody talk to you Everybody talks to you Turning like it ought to Taking it away ( Sample ) Soul see, soul set Soul see, soul set Soul see, soul set Soul see, soul set ( Sample )
Nyquil ( Sample ) Wendy Stubbs : I defy You to find a bluer sky Than a summer in love With mirth Happy as Larry A smile I would carry One wondrous look Of surprise When I danced with you You even made the sun change hue Such a pity We were pretty When I danced with you I always felt As if you knew, You were scared Never dared Hell to play We showed them anyway We shall tell you it was time to grow 'Till it was time ( Sample ) To grow Nobody, ever find the truth in me Or a paradise moon In flight Exotic, uneven Mid-sentence reeling A glorious passion That night When I danced with you, You even made the sun change hue Such a pity ( Sample )
With Helen White : Feel me I'm frightened We both know Someone waiting Feeling my way Don't be, enjoy While we can't be Feel me I'm frightened We both know Don't be, enjoy While we can't be
Firefly Martin Barnard : Who begins a star ? Who will roll far ? Took the way I know Move along now So sad I lost my memory The shape of things to come Circus heart stops inside me There's just no time. Halcyon days Pine the roadways Got to let you know And I walk the way the wind blows Softly in clouds of envy I see those eyes Fireflies in time Don't ask for anything more There seem no room in my life Don't ask for anything more Don't know why Talk to me Drag my memory Across a seashore of sin Yes I care I'm trying to say it I'm getting tired, so look I'll never I'll never Whenever Hold your hand, hold the light Indian took another butterfly Anything cloud nor dirt Funny bird Burning words Travelling Dreams for me In time. Heads down Words from an indian Words tinny in tone Peace signs Hitching a ride with Destiny on tow Anything cloud nor dirt Funny bird Burning words Travelling Dreams for me In time. Heads down Words from an indian Words tinny in tone Peace signs Hitching a ride with Destiny on tow Somewhere not here Wendy Stubbs : I remember when you came I can just recall that day Unexpected, undetected If I'd have known I still would have done it. So little time, so long to wait A paradise, within your eyes All the things I could tell you All the things I could show you. You're my waking thought You're the smile on my lips I dream I see your face I see and dream of you. You were safe and warm I was in your hands We were moved in time To another space. Somewhere, not here Somewhere, not here So, little time So, little time. You were safe and warm I was in your hands We were moved in time To another space. A thousand miles away I'd like to fly to you. I immerse myself I dream, I see your face I see, I dream of you If you were here we'd watch If you were here we'd see. You're my waking thought You're the smile on my lips. You were safe and warm I was in your hands We were moved in time To another space. Somewhere, not here I know you are somewhere, not here You're my waking thought You're the smile on my lips Are you thinking of me Do I invade your sleep A paradise, a paradise Within your eyes. I remember when you came I can just recall that day Somewhere not here Somewhere not here Somewhere.
The Impossible Thrill
Still Could you ever And ever Could you Perceive me Completely As I should be You don't even know me You don't even care Why thought that I Gave me name Still I lie Concealing My mood You don't even know me You don't even care Could you ever Make her way Make her stay With you Oh can you Butterfly on my head
*** Thanx a lot to Adrian for this one *** Eon Would you mind taking over I need time Time's against me At the moment And the world is too But give me A space To breathe It's there for me Used to feel that I was guided Gentle hands to spell me on Open arms With open eyes And dreams Should I shout it down Or runaway Stay and fight Save the day Tweedle dum or tweedle dee
*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Diana for this one ***
Dim You find out words are the same when you shout I'm forced out I'm someone childlike My first time Wonder when you'd come So the mermaid's run For now the magic's gone Falling under the water where i don't belong Beaneth the mud and mead There lurks like a dark seed A memory long gone A world so chained up A world so chained up Could look so down Live like London Walls are on your life Hell's coves don't come, come... And over is over is over is over is o... Someone, yeah Daylight's all, daylight's all Just tell me if you've ever had To find out Words are the same when you shout A small town For the rest of your life My first time Wonder when you'd come So the mermaid's run For now the magic's gone So the mermaid's run And now the magic's gone Oh heaven looks so sad But give us all the time we need I see no reason to believe There ain't no sunflower that you won't see There's only love sounds Only love beats on Alone and alone and alone So we'll hold this Alone and alone and alone So we'll hold this Alone and alone and alone
*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Amanda for this one ***
South This was the one and only So pure, so pure You named the stars and told me They're all yours, they're all yours And all at once I saw the sign The very extreme of lies And my pain Smothering My pain Cover it I can't feel your pain but I can taste the rain I've laid I lost my sense of wonder There's no cure, there's no cure I'm losing my head Smothering My pain Cover it I can't feel no pain But i can taste the way It touched my heart bleed And all at once I saw the sign The very extreme of lies It taught me how to cry Without my strength I'll handle this Over and over and I'll Handle this Over and over and I Found way to blame you Found how to blame you I can recognize I've lost so much I gave so much I've loved so much And that's why You took so much And you gave so much It's all yours
*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Amanda for this one *** Almost there It's really good That we struggle Really struggle That something Think about it Take your time Doesn't matter Not a crime Almost there There I was Flesh and bone Only human Lost from home Lost from home Happy ending Right this way Take the journey Round again Steal another Glance a kid Almost there Round again Think about it Take your time Doesn't matter Not a crime Couldn't happen Not this possible Take your time Who could be Take the journey Find a way In a hurry Who's the fool Could lose it all Took a chance Broke the pact Lost my way Then did again Who could be Someone like me Caught my breath Then died the dead Who could be Someone like me
*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Amanda for this one *** Wise Say it as I dance Say will you dance Falling wonderful love She says that's enough The plane is a bird The final wish absurd To fly on the wings I feel Can make her so real Then I'll manage it One thing of us is done Burn little fire above it Underneath it all There's a modern world That's all (old?) Unstoppable The face talks down to the river The special world of you The mind all returns to the river The same thing said to you This gun is offed His thought has gone Good morning touch her How time's flow And all signs of madness Struck by sadness Burn in a fire above my Underneath it all She complicates the river in us Says to me It's time for all things Just fly (Is a mirror) I've end in you I've envied you Everywhere I go Doesn't matter all Pray your sun sets And your sun's rays Say not a look And bade, wait The sun, our world Say was it all Say was it all Guess I've needed you, you

It's raining My mood is grey I would exchange Some sunny days I lost the smile Lost the knack Lost my mind Read my book Sin paid again Lost my concentration then Lost the plot Lost the track Lost my mind Won't come back Won't be back It's raining My mood is grey I would exchange Some sunny days
*** Thanx a lot to Amanda for this one *** Clear sky
So some say somehow Who was high stays down I don't think you understand me I don't see your fault lies I just wanna talk for now And though the way I struggle It grab and take hold of me Always the one And always enough to be The ultrasound strike in the sea Let me open That I'll crash sometime I'm lucky for now Stir me round He's spawned a war So run from him It's something in his blood It's all because of a rushing heart Of course, he's made a plan His sailor wants clear sky Droop just now Has the face of calm And you're on top of the world The planet didn't know That Earth will forever be forgot Until you dared know Someone will win to better things No one told me I'm glad you're told I don't strike alot And say only Your moment here Is slowing up
*** Thanx a lot to Amanda for this one *** Al sation
Anytime now You will see me I'm trembling when you smile And pick me up right off the floor I hope so How could you know? Let me see your eyes It's been awhile Should I Act surprised How could I come 'Till I'm at your house Too honest for this Will you dare light me more than Sunlight ever could Anytime now Pick me up right off the floor I hope so I hope so
*** Thanx a lot to Amanda for this one *** Fort
Here's only so much more The day is full To reach Understanding And all at once I knew I fan the truth over to you Excused Your flame Sold us I look away (?) There's only so much more There's only so much more Hey lonely Still looking for perfection Bleed and hold it Miss the moment When there's only so much more Discover it all All wonders be like you do Simply comply With the restlessness I hurt Takes hold A touch, a sigh with Hey, lonely Still looking for perfection Bleed and hold it Miss the moment There's only so much more There's only so much more You'll find in me Gave everything Maybe you will But maybe you won't The impossible thrill That lives only once I rest my case My weary face Grey is sad (?)

Stargazing
Once round town It isn't easy having fun When you're away so long It's the same face every night Under the bathroom light Time to get dressed And fast Checking for keys and cash Close the door Head for the city Letting the taxi cab Find the way Find your way And when the evening's underway Everyone feels ok Watch my timing with champagne And blissfully feel no pain i catch a silhouette I feel a smile Like you found the way Found your way And time's come into play You found your way And time's come into play Hurry up baby Hurry up come to me It's like you found your way Time's come into play I thought you found your way Hurry up baby Found your way Lipstick from the asylum When i can't look The other way There's only you To wonder And on hard times A doorway leans on days As though im needing you And some have helped me become older I suggest you're using me After moving on I'm really sorry lost time won't wait You always took so long I'm leaving now All your praising me Turned tides all over mine Are you erasing me Lipstick from the asylum goes on Something that has stolen us Always some Something that has stolen us Always some I put it on you and me and now I hate it all you and me I put it on you and me and now I hate it all you and me I put it on you and me and now I hate it all you and me I put it on you and me and now I hate it all you and me A perfect end - Sample - I can't believe you're here Did you know you found me alone If i could count the years I end and you begin I share your dreams It's like i see for two people Did i give up on mine You could do much better I can't believe we're here Or I'll fall much further than this The terror lies in us But tells the truth in me He's overrated And though it appears to be I make my home in thee It's out of my hands It's out of my hands Can I break the mood If there's nothing left to break But what of night and day We never need more It's such a perfect end A constant when I dissolve There's nothing left to hold I can't believe you're here I came home with nothing left to hold

Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley cover) Wendy Stubbs: Long afloat on a shipless ocean I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your eyes Sail to me, sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me Were you here when I was forced Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn storm your rocks Touch me not, touch me not Come back tomorrow Oh my heart, oh my heart Shies from the sorrow I'm puzzled as a newborn baby I'm as troubled as the tide Should I stand amid the breakers Shall I lie with death my bride Swim to me, swim to me Come on, let me enfold you Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you
The Sky is Mine
Stargazing Hello Eloise Let me in on the secret that you will keep Your eyes are wise Your eyes are new eyes Hello Eloise Whisper the places that you have been Tell me, was the sky blue Were the stars bright Was there sunshine over the daisies Champion girl Who's best in the world at Stargazing, magic carpets Hello Eloise Hello Eloise Your eyes are wide Your eyes are new eyes Champion girl Who's best in the world at Stargazing, magic carpets Stargazing, magic carpets Hello eloise Hello eloise Surely Surely you know what i've been dying to say God knows it's hard When you're not here i can pour out my heart The words just come But timing isn't my best point I miss the boat Too scared to spit it out I keep the lump in my throat For crying out loud What's the worst that can happen Maybe i'll die Maybe my life will begin But sometimes even the best lines are misconstrued At times i'm eloquent Though not in front of you I could keep it so quiet Never tell you my secret Living a lie I yell inside Timing isn't my best point I miss the boat Too scared to spit it out Kept the lump in my throat For crying out loud What's the worst that can happen Maybe i'll die Maybe my life starts here Surely you know what i've been dying to say Brood I understand you don't need to hold my hand I realise that you have yourself to guide I sympathise And bless the day i gave your life to you And gave you sense and memories My job is done I saw you through to where you begin to fly Fly, you can fly The years and the fears were empty long ago Now my winter's wait has come I sympathise Push Take hold of my doubts and crush them Then give me a reason why Insecurity gets the best of me Leaves me lying there slowly losing air Sure they're not out to get me They only pretend they are Fooling nobody, least not all of me Old friends of mine lost over time No more room, my head's full of them Say the word so it goes again Push me through How hard can it be to stop it I leave myself open wide Rationality takes a swing at me Leads me from despair Oh to feel aware No more words, can't hear what you say Stay out there i'm too tired to play Pull me through Burn me again Burn me again Turn me round and you can burn me again Learn in the end Say it slowly so i'll learn in the end Bury the pain Hurt me softly and then bury the pain Soften the rain Feel this storm inside me soften the rain Nurture me with hope Help me grow from your seed Feed me with your strength Fill me up with your need Heaven and hell Keep me safe between this heaven and hell Know me too well You've hardly touched me yet you know me too well Treat me with a kiss Heal this aching inside All the years i've lived yet you bring me to life, to life Burn me again Turn me round and you can burn me again Soften the rain Feel this storm inside me soften the rain Burn me again Burn me again May Looking at you talking to me You're sitting right across the table You may take my hand in your hands You may take me home tonight Drinking with you, sinking in you I'm swaying through the conversation You may ask what makes me happy You may ask for one more dance Looking at you looking at me You may want to leave without me Drinking slower, sinking faster Your mouth is leaning in towards me I can't breathe without you But i can breathe just with you You may want to leave without me You may take me home tonight You may want to leave without me Given time Given time, i'll be fine Hold your breath No, i'll hold mine Stay around, stay with me Soon you'll see, i'll be fine Just a day's too soon to say I'll come round when least expected Find my way Hold my hand Understand I'll be fine, given time Hard to say, to give away Pour your heart into my head again today Help me down, help me out Given time, i'll be fine For the wages It's late and it's loud, got to get away I'm scared, i'm not proud, of every day I'm colouring in empty pages Just giving my time for the wages I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry It was always, always going to be goodbye I didn't think twice when you kissed me, once Immune to advice, hearing foreign tongues You lifted my life from the madness A sweet golden light out of sadness I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry 'Cause it was always, always going to be goodbye You're not aloud to see You had the best of me It doesn't matter now I didn't give a damn 'Cause life is all a sham I'm always wrong somehow I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry It was always, always going to be goodbye I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry It was always, always going to be goodbye Home Inside i knew the passing of time would lead to you Impossible, yet tangible, an ancient dream comes true Happy since confessing your affect on me You are my song, you're my appetite You lift me higher than any satellite And i'm just still astounded I didn't know there was perfection I tried to lose the quest for home Then i found you Anyhow, i broke the spell Was swept away on the swell Sail for home Inside i knew Home is you Stumbled
I can't change what i've done It's luck, it's fate I just don't go there Took me since i was young Accept, embrace, i'm on my way here Over and over and over i stumbled Following paths that were heavy with dreams Over and over i'm humbled These are the paths that have led me right here I don't have regrets It's all made me me I'm placing my bets on having you hear I'm home, my love, home I can't change what i've done It's luck, it's fate I just don't go there Took me since i was young; accept, embrace I'm on my way here Over and over and over i stumbled Following paths that were heavy with dreams Over and over and over i'm humbled These are the paths that have led me right here But i don't have regrets, it's all made me me I'm placing my bets on just having you near I don't have regrets, oh no Silver bullet Was that smile meant for me Are my eyes too tired to see Terrified and paralysed Mesmerised and hypnotised Why do you have to sit so near What's this ringing in my ears Knowingly and willingly Silently and tenderly How can i eat when my mouth screams to touch you Tortured in sleep, dreams content to explore you Were you only being kind, when i brushed your lips with mine Longing now to touch your skin, ashamed of my imagining Circling around, senses only betray me Heady as wine, eyes that intoxicate me I suppose it's just the situation Too confined to my imagination But… somewhere Was that smile meant for me Are my eyes too tired Terrified and paralysed Mesmerised and hypnotised
A little poison A little poison numbs the senses Slows the flow – slow the flow Nothing simpler See it's easy Bring it on Bring it on I'll show you all I'll prove you wrong, in a while It's peculiar Doesn't hurt me anymore, anymore And I'll show you all I'll prove you wrong In a while, in a while Watch me fly Heights don't scare me The sky is mine You won't stop me A little poison numbs the senses Send them in, send them in Yes I'll show you all And prove you wrong In a while, in a while Watch me fly Heights don't scare me The sky is mine You won't stop me As i show you all And prove you wrong In a while, in a while

In This Hannah Collins: I need a break Can anybody take this weight from me From me I need a break Can anyone take this fear out of me Out of me In this silence In this shadow My body aches Can anybody wake me up Me up Me up No mistake Just a little twist of fate Will lift me up In this silence In this shadow Where do I go Is there anyone I know I know I know Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin 'Cause I'm here alone Will anybody lead me home Me home Me home In this shadow There's an empty space That I don't want to waste Next to me Next to me But there's a phrase That everything's in its place I'll let it be It be In this silence In this shadow But if you come my way Carry me with you The flame I crave Is the light of you But if you come my way Carry me with you The flame I crave Is the light of you If the sky's grey Could you make it blue And if a storm raged Could you make the sun shine But if you come my way Carry me with you 'Cause the flame I crave Is the light of you If the sky's grey Could you make it blue

*** Thanx a lot to Filipe for this one *** Cilla Hannah Collins: When you can learn to be still When all your thoughts you watch from a distance When you can feel you belong Without a thing but the air you breathe When you can look with kindness Upon yourself and everyone you see When you feel so in love Without a thing but the air that you breathe Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin When you can learn to be still When all your thoughts you watch from a distance When you feel you belong Without a thing but the air that you breathe Of value associated with any of the art? Yes. Would you ever have been seen on television? Yes. Are you a performer? Yes. Would you be considered a leading man? Yes. [Salvador Dalí on "What's My Line?"] When you can learn to be still When all your thoughts you watch from a distance When you can feel you belong Without a thing but the air you breathe When you can look with kindness Upon yourself and everyone you see When you feel so in love Without a thing but the air that you breathe You'll know This is where you want to be You'll know You're eternity You'll know A true harmony You'll know There's nothing you need You'll know This is where you want to be You'll know You're eternity You'll know A true harmony You'll know There's nothing you need Sunedune Wendy Stubbs: Sliding feet through shifting sand You picked me up and held my hand Warm sand dune at sundown Sheltered from wind and the eyes of the world You lay me down while I unfurled Warm sand dune at sundown Sand dune at sundown If I had my life again Then I'd stay with you Your heart is a star that lights my world But distance is cruel Summer cooled and so did I I left the beach and joined the sky Sundown Now I've come back wishing I'd never gone I see our ghosts and I hear your song Warm sand dune at sundown Sand dune at sundown Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin If I had my life again Then I'd stay with you Your heart is a star that lights my world But distance is cruel If I had my life again Then I'd stay with you Your heart is a star that lights my world But distance is cruel Summertime was our time When we'd keep out of reach Laughing eyes in glowing skies We'd rush across the beach Covers Been Blown Hannah Collins: Now this web is spun And the papers signed and sealed Now this deal is done All will be revealed Now that we are here And this moment is our own Everything is clear Covers been blown Broken glass Beneath my feet If I could run I may just reach you My heart is bound In rusty chains When the bubble bursts I can hear your name Now the clouds have moved on Our eyes are open wide The mask we have worn Leaves us nowhere else to hide Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin The story is complete Every single word's been told What is it you seek The answer you hold Broken glass Beneath my feet If I could run I may just reach you My heart is bound In rusty chains When the bubble bursts I can hear your name Broken glass Beneath my feet Now I can run I feel that you are near My heart was bound In rusty chains Now the bubbles burst Nothing stays the same Nothing stays the same Don't Stop It's War Once upon a time, in the land of Hush-A-Bye Around about the wondrous days of yore They came across a sort of box Bound up with chains and locked with locks And labeled "Kindly do not touch; it's war" A decree was issued round about, and all with a flourish and a shout And a gaily colored mascot tripping lightly on before Don't fiddle with this deadly box or break the chains or pick the locks And please don't ever play about with war Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Well, the children understood. Children happen to be good And they were just as good around the time of yore They didn't try to pick the locks or break into that deadly box They never tried to play about with war Mommies didn't either; sisters, aunts, grannies neither 'Cause they were quiet, and sweet, and pretty In those wondrous days of yore Well, very much the same as now And not the ones to blame somehow For opening up that deadly box of war But someone did. Someone battered in the lid And spilled the insides out across the floor A sort of bouncy, bumpy ball made up of guns and flags And all the tears, and horror, and death that goes with war It bounced right out and went bashing all about Bumping into everything in store. And what was sad and most unfair Was that it didn't really seem to care Much who it bumped or why or what or for ["The Box", poem by Lascelles Abercrombie] Don't stop walking now For you have come so far on your own Don't stop when you know not Where you're headed to Though you have come so far on your own And you will go on... Don't fiddle with this deadly box or break the chains or pick the locks And please don't ever play about with war Don't stop walking now For you have come so far on your own Don't stop when you know not Where you're headed to Though you have come so far on your own Lisbon Wendy Stubbs: We fell in love in Lisbon Paris, delicious in rain I never knew I'd never fall again Loving you is so easy I've done it for quite some time As habits go this one is just sublime We fell in love in Lisbon Paris, delicious in rain I never knew I'd never fall again Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Loving you is so easy I've done it for some time As habits go this one is so sublime So sublime So sublime So sublime So sublime So sublime Home Land Hannah Collins: You are my homeland You are my light My heart sings your name Walk with me through darkness Run with me through rain I will love you until I lie beneath the flowers Hold you until I go back to the stars Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin You are my homeland You are my light My light My homeland
