Bat For Lashes is the work of British singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Natasha Khan. Born in 1979, yet combining influences that span decades, Natasha�s work dwells in the elemental, emerging in timeless forms.

Bat For Lashes� music is bold and vivid. Her live shows, with accomplices Ginger Lee, Abi Fry and Lizzy Carey, are made up of thunderous marching band drums, desert guitar, ballet school piano, harpsichord, sub-bass snarls, hand-claps and naive beats, with the women fluidly switching and swapping their instruments between songs. There are also interludes of exquisite heartbreak; the piano ballad 'Sad Eyes' has on more than one occasion left audience members in tears. Her debut album Fur and Gold is a very special record, a cohesive collection of songs so haunting and mesmerizing it makes a striking impression on all who hear it.

It was whilst working as a nursery school teacher, following her university degree in film and music, that Fur and Gold album opener 'Horse & I' came to Natasha in a dream. Inspired by tales of Joan of Arc, Natasha is woken by a black horse at the window and sent on a fateful quest. This extraordinary dream became the muse for the songs that now comprise Fur and Gold.

Recorded in London and Brighton, Natasha co-produced the album with David Kosten (Faultline). Recurrent themes of natural forces and animal kingdoms, rugged English cliff tops and engulfing oceans � highlighted on the lament 'Seal Jubilee', are juxtaposed by the energy of rough urban living, teenage bedrooms and the freedom of California highways. Josh T Pearson (Lift To Experience) guests, adding guitar and vocals on three tracks � the brooding live favorite 'Trophy', 'Seal Jubilee' and the finale 'I Saw A Light', adding the kind of hymns and chaos that only the son of a preacher could provide.

Bat For Lashes played her first big show in London supporting CocoRosie at the Scala at the end of 2005. A year later almost to the day, Bat For Lashes headlined a sold out Scala, where the likes of Bjork, Nellee Hooper and Brett Anderson were to be seen in the sold out crowd. Other fans include Devendra Banhart, Jarvis Cocker and Thom Yorke (who chose 'Horse & I' for his iTunes Top Ten Playlist, saying "I love the harpsichord and the sexual ghost voices and bowed saws. This song seems to come from the world of Grimm's fairytales, and I feel like a wolf.")

Having spent parts of her childhood in Pakistan, Natasha Khan now lives by the sea in England.

Horse and I

Got woken in the night
By a mystic golden light
My head soaked in river water

I had been dressed in a coat of armor
They called a horse out of the woodland
"Take her there, through the desert shores"

They sang to me
"This is yours to wear
You're the chosen one
There's no turning back now"

The smell of redwood giants
A banquet for the shadows
Horse and I
We're dancers in the dark

Came upon the headdress
It was gilded, dark and golden
The children sang
I was so afraid
I took it to my head and prayed

They sang to me
"This is yours to wear
You're the chosen one
There's no turning back."

They sang to me
"This is yours to wear
You're the chosen one
There's no turning back."

There is no turning back
There is no turn
There is no turning back
There is no turn
There is no turning back
There is no turn

Trophy

The trophy that I made for us in fur and gold
Got into the wrong pair of hands and truth was sold
They bought it for oh so much less than it was worth
And every man that touched it found a heaven on earth

Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms

The queens and the court jesters clapped, adored
Their hearts swelled into overdrive and mercy soared
Mercy this and mercy that, let justice prevail
But I just want my trophy back, it's not for sale

Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms

Creatures of mercy
Shoot shoot
Shoot them down
And set me free

Creatures of mercy
Shoot shoot
Shoot them down
And set me free

And when I got my trophy back it took some time
To polish it to gold from black and shoot the lion
And when I put it back inside I locked the door
A trophy of mercy is a trophy no more

Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms

Creatures of mercy
Shoot shoot
Shoot them down
And set me free

Creatures of mercy
Shoot shoot
Shoot them down
And set me free

Tahiti

Community saw the best in me
Exchanging the common heart for the salt in the sea
Children of the sun on a highway of hope
The beauty of coming together
In sorrow

Tahiti we don't got no name
Tahiti we don't got no home
Tahiti we don't got no money
Tahiti we don't got no
Honey

But we do the dishes, we make the bread
We are powdered ashes in the light of the beauty
He said

Wear those dark glasses to help us see
Hot tears rolling down and our arms are knitted

Creatures of the night on a highway of hope
And the beauty that we'll leave each other
Tomorrow

Tahiti we don't got no name
Tahiti we don't got no home
Tahiti we don't got no money
Tahiti we don't got no
Honey

What's A Girl To Do

We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch
The desire I'd first tried to hide
That tingling inside was gone

And when he asked me
Do you still love me
I had to look away
I didn't want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day

When you've loved so long
That the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears

And when your dreams are on
A train to train-wreck town
Then I ask you now
What's a girl to do

He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say

Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away

When you've loved so long
That the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears

And when your dreams are on
A train to train-wreck town
Then I ask you now
What's a girl to do

What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do

Sad Eyes

I don't like the things you don't say
Leaving it for such a long long time
Why do you show me those sad sad eyes
Each time you decide to pass on by

And when you smile those sad eyes
Look sadder and sadder still

Autumn's hue in those sad eyes
Makes me love and love them more
I'll have a bath, I'll make the dinner
And then I'll go wait for a long long time
But still you've not passed my door

And when you smile those sad eyes
Look sadder and sadder still

I can tell that you're lonely
But it seems now
There's nothing you want me to do
So I won't try to take the sadness
From those eyes that I love
Leave it open for someone else to

And when you smile those sad eyes
Look sadder and sadder still

Trying to hold it together
Keep my love as light as a feather
Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time
Keep my heart breaking in the dark
Come and spend the night

Trying to hold it together
Keep my love as light as a feather
Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time
Keep my heart breaking in the dark
Come and spend the night

Sad eyes, sad eyes, sad eyes...

Doing the mess around
Push me down into the ground
Taste the hands that drink my body

Fight me in the dark
Wrestle your bones over mine
Into our moonless march come the wizard
Come, the wizard comes
The wizard comes
The wizard comes
The wizard comes

Wants to feel you shake and shooting
He will be our leader
Wants to feel you shake and shooting
He will be our leader

Trembling midnight lands
I travel with the wizard
Drink his blood and he's our leader

Breath songs in my head
Slow arrow flies &'burning
And the trouble we possess
While the sunshine goes on sleeping
The sunshine

Wants to feel you shake and shooting
He will be our leader
Wants to feel you shake and shooting
He will be our leader...

Prescilla

There's a girl that wants to stop
Been thinking about having a couple of kids
Comb a brush around their heads in the morning
To be needed, simply and with meaning

Her name is Karen
Been on the road for so long
She wants to live in a place that has a number and a name
Find love as an anchor before the courage is gone

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

To live life outside of the whirl
To break the cross that bears her name
She's not your queen anymore, queen of the highway
Needs something better than running away

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, Prescilla
She really loves him, I tell you

Gone away
Queen of the Highway
Gone away
Highway
Queen of the Highway
Gone away

Bat's Mouth

The caves of our mouths
Are forest darkness and the air
In between is overflowing and the rushing
Wolverine flies past, his shiny shiny teeth
And she is kind and he is free
Full of knowing

She is sure
She is sure

The caves of our mouths
Are bear's bellies and the air
In between is spewing
Comets and the dancing
Centaur queen flies past
Her tiny tiny teeth
He is kind, she is free
Wants to show him

She is sure
She is sure
She is sure

Find him in the bat's mouth
He is singing in a bat's mouth
He is shaking and dancing in her bat mouth
Getting tired and sleepy in her bat mouth
And she�s holding him tight in her bat arms
She is wrapping him up in her bat arms
And she's thanking her mother sea
Thank you mother sea for letting him see
The sea in me

She is sure
She is sure
She is sure...

The seals, they cried in jubilee
The sharks, they howled along with me
And birds, they flew into the wind
The whale, he roamed the lonely sea

And I dived into you
I dived into you
On this ocean hue
'Cause I dived into you

The lighthouse dog lifted his brow
The crippled trees bent low to growl
And swans, they wrestled with lifetime's grasp
In hopefullness they nestled the past
Teachers and travellers made their mark
They dined and feasted on whale and shark
And so the ocean lost its depths
And boredom rained as the ocean wept

Birds they raised their young for dead
And ladies used feathery pillows for bed
And black snow came and black snow stayed
And froze the ocean out of love
Out of love

I lay quiet, next to you
Transformed a whole
Transformed anew
No longer diving into
But lying quiet next
To you

Sarah

Adopting Sarah's heart
Was never gonna be easy
With an angel tattoo sinking beneath her belt
Sarah
And the dirty blonde sea-water
Sea-water gushing down
Chewing fingernails in her shit-eating grin
Sarah

They cut out her heart when
She was a little girl
And in the fishing boat she thought
She saw the shadow of God
Sarah
He didn't smile at her and she decided
He never came at all
And when she died, she was going nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere

Sarah, I want to be like you
Sarah
You know sometimes I want to live like you
Sarah
So I know how it feels not to feel

Adopting Sarah's heart
Was never gonna be easy
Changing from black to blonde to black to blonde
Sarah
But on the dirty tarmac of
The tarmac of a melting motorway
She gave me her clothes and told me to take her place, her place

Sarah, I want to be like you
Sarah
You know sometimes I want to live like you
Sarah
So I know how it feels not to feel

Sarah, I want to be like you
Sarah
You know sometimes I want to live like you
Sarah
So I know how it feels not to feel

I saw a light

I saw a light
I saw a light
Coming through the trees
I saw a light
Coming through the trees
Freshly cut lawns
And little children sleepwalking
I saw a light

I saw a light
Shining on a car
And a couple inside
Had committed suicide

Death in your arms
Death in your arms

I saw a light
I saw a light
Coming through the trees
And I packed my things

After I saw the light
I packed my things
The light gave me life
Helped me see more clearly
And the children went to sleep
And the car was towed away
And the leaves were rustling
As the night turned to day

I saw a light
Getting smaller in the distance
And I said goodbye

Glass

I will rise now
And go about the city
In the street's broadways I seek
Him whom my soul loveth

Went over the sea
What did I find
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armour

And I tried to hold him
I tried for the cream
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of rainbow
Stifle up the beam
With the perfect armour
With the perfect dream

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we're light and light and light
And light and light

And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't see

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we're light and light and light
And light and light

You know my darling I can't stand to sleep alone
No sweetheart in the dark to call my own
You're my own, you're my own, I can sing it, I can groan
But the darkness is a stranger and I'm lonely, lonely, lonely low

Last night's parties and last night's horrorshow
Smiling and whirling and kissing all I know
Give my soul, give my soul, sing it free across the sea
A lonely spell to conjure you, but conjure hell is all I do

Lonely, lonely, lonely
Cause my mama told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream

Lonely, lonely, lonely
'Cause my mama told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream

They say for every high (high) there must be a low (low, low, low, low)
From every sun ascending a lonesome moon will grow (grow, grow, grow)
Drive my heart, drive my heart, into the fire of a burning heart's desire
A lonely spell so you be seen, do you hear me coming in my blue dream

Lonely, lonely, lonely
Cause my mama told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream

Lonely, lonely, lonely
'Cause my mama told me
The dream of love is a two-hearted dream

Moon and Moon

Lover when you don't lay with me
I'm a huntress for a husband lost at sea
If I had you here, braid our hair together
I'd be boy and you'd be girl, beautiful

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll track me to your door
Now I won't see you no more

When this wild world is a big bad hand
Pushing me on my back do you understand
When I get home been in the jungle
Where's my bear to lick me clean
Feed my soul milk and honey

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll track me to your door
Now I won't see you no more

I won't see you no more

Daniel when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under wild blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We would never be apart

And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed

And in a golden-blue car
You took me to
The darkest place she knew
And set fire to my heart

When I run in the dark, Daniel
Into a place that's lost, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Daniel
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our mouths the tears crept
Just kids in the eye of the storm

And as my heart spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again

When I run in the dark, Daniel
Into a place that's lost, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Daniel
I dream of home

When I run in the dark, Daniel
Into a place that's lost, Daniel
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Daniel
I dream of home

Peace of mind

Look at this and look at us
We wonder, oh we're wandering
And I don't like to say we're lost
Try my best with leading us

Build a ladder to the sky
(To the sky)
Sit up there and say "oh my!"
(Say oh my!)
Does looking down make me a Queen
(Make a me a Queen)
With all the sorrow that I've seen
(That I've seen)

If I ever get back down
Find a map that takes me back
Through the wounded, through the wars
To a time that came before

To hover-board into the Sun
And bring back when my time is done
A mother for this childless world
And an arrow of light for every boy and girl

And peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind...

Siren song

Are you my family
Can I stay with you a while
Can I stop off in your bed tonight
I can make you smile

In the morning I'll make you breakfast
In the evening I'll warm the bed
And I'll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I'll never get sad

Till the sirens come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
Mama was a heartbreaker
Loved you the same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin

My name is Pearl
And I love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart
When the sirens come calling
It won't be long until you're running

Help you dress yourself up fancy
And bathe you when you get sore
I'll be good, I think I could
Be all you would want and more and more

Be proud when you dazzle the wanderers
And glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
I'll try not to let you down

Till the sirens come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
Mama was a heartbreaker
Loved you the same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin

My name is Pearl
And I love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart

When the stars are exploding in your eyes
It won't be long till you're running
No it won't be long till you're running
It won't be long until you're running
It won't be long until you're running
'Cause I'm evil, 'cause I'm evil

Pearl's dream

There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
It's not a place I have seen
But I�ll get there in a blue dream

Down the ocean road
Past a sign that says 'Good Love Town'
Into a darkness where the stars do drown
But a star in me needs to be free

And when the battle was done
I was promised my Sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run

And when the battle was done
I was promised my Sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run

There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
For my heart is a child
That stumbles lonely for the arms of the wild

Hear the desert sigh
Sing the city's lullaby
The giant iris of the wild blue sky
Is showing me the way

And when the battle was done
I was promised my Sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run

And when the battle was done
I was promised my Sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run

You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders

Good love

In the night time we are found
Misty sorrows swoop unbound
Whisper you mean it, say you'll stay
Hold my heart till brighter days

Now I am searching and I'll do it alone
This Queen of Heart dancing on her throne
But I need sorrow baby, like sorrow is the drug
So will I ever find that place they call "Good Love"

"Good Love"
Passed it last night in a dream

"Good Love"
And my heart caught fire
Went up in flames

I drove past true love once in a dream
Like a house that caught fire, it burned and flamed
Then the magician disappeared as quickly as he came
And with a sound like white magic caught in a black car's blazing trail

The house set fire to my heart
And like an inferno we shone and raged
And I'd swallowed the Sun in your form
And I woke up and you were crying
I woke up and you were saying

"Good Love"
Passed it last night in a dream
Was that "Good Love"
'Cause my heart caught fire
Went up in flames
"Good Love"
Passed it last night in a dream

Was that "Good Love"
'Cause my heart caught fire
Went up in flames

Two Planets

We are strangers in a strange land
Wanderers in a vast and unknowable universe

Show me moonlight on the sunrise
I've seen so many planets dancing
I've seen too many people hiding

Show me sunset and I won't forget
That I am one of two planets dancing
I am one of two planets dancing

Shallow man
Sign your name
On my Sun

The song of Solomon
Died in the battleground
The song of Solomon
Died in love's battleground

I am full
Shattered by this sailing time
For all your suffering by night
Oh warm, but under bright

And life is so much dark and light
When day cannot exist without a night
And you are not separate from me
I am a heart that's full of life

And to be shared on this night
Feel my hands, feel my life
For the sun and the stars
Of my Mother and my sisters

I know where the form is changing
I know that the stars will follow me

Travelling woman

Hang on travelling woman
Don't sacrifice your plan
'Cause it will come back to you
Before you lose it on the man

Never fall in love with potential
'Cause you can see with your own eyes
All the pretty faces and sorry words
Can take away your pride

Got to listen
To the vision
Some may say a dream
Words for the unseen

Or it can make you tired, tell you lies and make you fall
Make you tired, tell you lies and make you fall
Make you tired, tell you lies and make you fall

Hang on travelling woman
Don't sacrifice your plan
'Cause it will come back to you
Before you lose it on the man

Got to listen
To the vision
Play in the ashes
Of what you once were

Got to listen
To the vision
Play in the ashes
Of what you once were

The big sleep

(feat. Scott Walker)

How can it be the last show
(How can it be)
How can it be the last show
(How can it be)

No more spotlights
Coming down from Heaven
It's a goodbye
It's curtains down time

Not even out of my dress
And already my voice is fading
Goodbye my dears
(Goodbye)
And into the big sleep

Lilies

Again tonight I sang a song
A prayer if you will
Fell to the floor on blackened knees
And all the trees fell still
Pressed my hands between my thighs
And poured the thistle milk
Begged the thunderbolts to strike
And mark me as alive

Oh the lilies on the hill
Oh the lilies on the hill
Oh the lilies on the hill
Scented the night...

And so I finished up my prayer
Rose slowly and I stared
But I was empty as a grave
And ghostless was the air
Lay back to bed and dulled my eyes
And searched those fruitless skies
Again begged the thunderbolt to strike
To mark me or else I would die
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Oh the lilies on the hill
Oh the lilies on the hill
Oh the lilies on the hill
Scented the night...

And in the seconds before sleep
And in the seconds before sleep
Did I believe what I did see
Did I believe what came to me

Appeared the figure of a man
Waving upon the hill
To the window I ran
And saw what he had sent
Children of a private world
To be conceived in milk
A hundred marching to my door
All bringing dreams to drink

Thank God I'm alive!
Thank God I'm alive!

Oh the lilies on the hill
Oh the lilies on the hill
Oh the lilies on the hill
Scented the night...

All Your Gold

Never see a big church steeple
When I call you on the phone
Never feel the rush of angels
When we stay up late alone
Never whisper you a great love story
Only scream and cry and moan
But you're a good man
But you're a good man
I keep telling myself to just let go
Oh, let go of the one who took all your gold

I get home and there's a love note waiting
But only he is here tonight
And the words, the promises you're making
Only echo all his lies
And for every sweet nothing you whisper
Why is goodbye my reply
Cause you're a good man
Cause you're a good man
I keep telling myself to just let go
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
There was someone that I knew before
A heart from the past
That I cannot forget
I let him take all my gold
And hurt me so bad
That now for you
I have nothing left
Of all my gold

A ghost from the past
Has turned my heart black
Am I ever gonna let him go
And get my gold back

And today I was a dead girl walking
City light burnt through the tears
Heard you say my name and get to talking
About the love and all the fear
And you saw all the pain I was holding
And yet still you hold me near
Cause you're a good man
Cause you're a good man
I keep telling myself to just let go

There was someone that I knew before
A heart from the past
That I cannot forget
I let him take all my gold
And hurt me so bad
That now for you
I have nothing left
Cause there was someone that I knew before
A heart from the past
That I cannot forget
I let him take all my gold
And hurt me so bad
That now for you
I have nothing left
Of all my gold

I cursed the road
I cursed the road
And I came home to the love you gave

And as I walked through my door
I saw the stars spelled out S.A.V.E.D.
And all the gardens bloomed a flower for each day I was away
Now I'm saved
Baby saved

And all was alive
And all was alive
And all was alive
And all was alive

You and me
We're wild and on the run
Busting out the heavens
Like the horses of the sun

You and me
We're wild and on the run
Busting out the heavens
Like the horses of the sun
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I cursed the road
I cursed the road
And I came home to the love you gave

And as I walked through my door
I saw the stars spelled out S.A.V.E.D.
And all the gardens bloomed a flower for each day I was away
Now I'm saved
Baby saved

And all was alive
And all was alive
And all was alive
And all was alive

You and me
We're wild and on the run
Busting out the heavens
Like the horses of the sun

You and me
We're wild and on the run
Busting out the heavens
Like the horses of the sun

You and me
We're wild and on the run
Busting out the heavens
Like the horses of the sun

You and me
We're wild and on the run
Busting out the heavens
Like the horses of the
Sun

Oh Yeah

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

I am whole
Hot is the night
The grass is so tall
And slow
The air is wet
And I feel alive
Let the perfume drip
Let it rise!

I am whole
And I walk the night
Luscious and lost
So alone
Touch the rocks
And lick the light
Let the hot winds howl
So slow

Here am I
Looking for a lover to climb inside
Waiting like a flower to open wide
I'm in bloom
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I lie low
I'm ready to try
The tapestries turn
And grow
Creepers crawl
And kiss my thighs
And the headiness howls
Rise and rise

Here am I
Looking for a lover to climb inside
Waiting like a flower to open wide
I'm in bloom!

Here I lie
Lying like a flower with no more time
Waiting for another to come inside
I'm in bloom
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah!

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Laura

You say that they've all left you behind
Your heart broke when the party died
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again

When your smile is so wide
And your heels are so high
You can't cry
Get your glad rags on and let's sing along
To that lonely song

You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Oh Laura
You're more than a superstar

And in this horrorshow
I've got to tell you so
Oh Laura
You're more than a superstar

You say that you're stuck in a pale blue dream
And your tears feel hot on my bed sheets
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Your smile is so wide
And your heels are so high
You can't cry
Get your glad rags on and let's sing along
To that lonely song

You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Oh Laura
You're more than a superstar

You'll be famous for longer than them
Your name is tattooed on every boy's skin
Oh Laura
You're more than a superstar

You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Oh Laura
You're more than a superstar

And in this old horrorshow
I've got to let you know
Oh Laura
You're more than a superstar
You're more than a superstar

Winter Fields

Hurtling through heavy snow
Our hands are cold and the moon sets low
Little sister let your sharp teeth show
Past winter fields

Stop the car by the old wire post
Scaredy rabbits make good paper ghosts
That lick the salT of the Sussex coast
And fall into winter fields

Rows of white
Spelled our escape in the old torch light
Oh Mother, I'm scared to close my eyes
Some winter dreams make you dive and dive and dive down
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
In sub zero I can't stand still
Colours of absence flooding the hill
In wonderment I trip and spill
Through winter fields

Under the stairs taps the metronome
The diver's suit that we've all outgrown
I need to get to where the wild things roam
Through all of my winter dreams

Rows of white
Spelled our escape in the old torch light
Oh Mother, I'm scared to close my eyes
Some winter dreams make you dive and dive and dive down

I couldn't sleep last night
Cause I tried to forget you
In the suffocated air
I resolved to let you go

Twisted all our dreams
'Til you became the nightmare
Close it off inside
Or else the hurt is gonna rise

I couldn't sleep last night
Cause I tried to forget you
Heard the old man and the sea
Singing low

And the silver fir she cried
Never forget had gone and died
And all the babes that clung to her
Had all let go
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
My dear she touched my skin
And oh did the skin
Set a burning
My dear she touched my skin

Where once we kissed and ran
That memory scorched the man
I have to tell you dear
(ask me to hold you I)
Death has become my breathing
(far away gone and I)

My dear she touched my skin
(ask me to tell you I)
And oh she did, she touched my skin
(holding the ghost of a man I)
Where once we kissed and ran
(ask me to tell you I)
This madness haunted the man
(holding the ghost of a man)

Still I'm holding out my hand
Standing by my haunted man
Yes, your ghosts have got me too
But it's me and you
I can't run

Still I'm holding out my hand
Standing by my haunted man
Yes, your ghosts have got me too
But it's me and you
I can't run

Marilyn

See your face at night
Touch you black and white
You're a silver screen
Visual balladry
Wanna move in the dark
Play the part
Put your star in me
Visual balladry

Holding you I'm touching a star
Turning into a Marilyn
Leaning out of your big car
Holding you I'm touching a star
Stay the night if you think you know
Think you know what you're good for
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
See your face at night
In forever light
You're a silver beam
Visual balladry
Wanna move in the dark
Play the part
Put your star in me
Visual balladry

Holding you I'm touching a star
Turning into a Marilyn
Leaning out of your big car
Holding you I'm touching a star
Stay the night if you think you know
Think you know what you're good for

Holding you I'm touching a star
Turning into a Marilyn
Leaning out of your big car
Holding you I'm touching a star
Stay the night if you think you know
Think you know what you're good for
Holding you I'm touching a star
Stay the night if you think you know
Think you know what you're good for

From inside his mouth
I lick the blood
While he's roaring and biting
I wash off the mud
Cause the tempest is out
To wrestle a while
Stop charging my darling
Get closer, be quiet

'Cause where you see a wall
I see a door
(We're entering a brave new world)
Set out with no map
And turn off your torch
(And we're only but a second away)
Where you see a wall
I see a door
(Take my hand and we can out-run time)
You'll get through
You'll be home
You'll be home

From inside his mouth
I lick the scars
In the woodland the leaves
Are marking a path
And if you'd just rest your head
Stop repeating the charge
You know that this time
Will turn all the locks
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Cause where you see a wall
I see a door
(We're entering a brave new world)
Set out with no map
And turn off your torch
(And we're only but a second away)
Where you see a wall
I see a door
(Take my hand and we can out-run time)
You'll get through
You'll be home
You'll be home

Just sit still
Does it hurt, does it hurt
Just sit still
Does it hurt, does it hurt
Just sit still
Does it hurt, does it hurt
Just sit still
Does it hurt, does it hurt

Come on now rest your head
And I'll protect you
You've been running too fast
Running for fear
You've got to stop sometime soon
Pushing through barriers
And pushing through seas
And the witch'll come for you
You've been running up hills
And running too slow
But just keep on running
Keep on running
Look what you find
Look what you find
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Come on and rest your head!
And I will protect you
Come on now!
Come on and rest your head
You gotta stop sometime soon

Your power's so strong
And if you don't know why
There's a deeper knowing
In that big old sky
Could say you're in the wrong place
At the right time
But don't keep on running
Keep on running
Stick to the spot

Come on and rest your head
And I will protect you
Come on now!
Come on and rest your head
You gotta stop sometime soon

Deep Sea Diver

You came running out of the dark
With the tears in your eyes
This time I'm not afraid
Cause my heart's ablaze

Baby throw your head back
Let your hair down

Baby let your hair down
It's time to get enchanted
You're a deep sea diver
Tides are turning in your favor
You came running out of the dark
With the tears in your eyes
And the moth and the moon saw
A new religion being born
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Baby let your head fall back
And laugh like you never
Tasted such a good thing on your tongue
Baby let your scream come
Baby let your scream come

Said you been taken over
By a deeper animal
You've been changed
What's grown up around you
Is a different skin
You thought I wouldn't know your face

Baby if you can't see out
Know that I can hear you shout
And darling if you can't see out
You know that I can hear you shout

I Do

Tomorrow you will ask me if I do
And all of the sorrow will drop away
Like dew from a flower in bloom
When you say I do
When you say I do
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Tomorrow you will take me for your bride
And all of the grey skies will blow away
With forever that I feel inside
When you say I do
When you say I do
When you say I do

Joe's Dream

There's a tear in my lover's eyes
He's at my window, it's a gloomy night
Said he dreamt of God's search light
It remembered his name

Lifts his hand gently to my face
Through the promise of wedding lace
And I feel his dark embrace
As my baby, he cries
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
I'm falling in love
(Don't say goodbye)
I am falling like a star from above
(Don't say goodbye)
And I finally found my pot of gold
(Don't say goodbye)
And now I can see just what my heart can hold
But what does it mean
The bad things that I've seen

He saw angels at his bedroom door
And a body on a chequered floor
There was lightening in his black leather
And it struck out his name
No more tears, baby, please, don't cry
Try to tell him everything is fine
Cross my heart and hope to die
I won't say goodbye

'Cause I'm falling in love
(Don't say goodbye)
I am falling like a star from above
(Don't say goodbye)
And I finally found my pot of gold
(Don't say goodbye)
And now I can see just what my heart can hold
But what does it mean
The bad things that I've seen
Oh what does it mean
The bad things that I've seen
What does it mean
The bad things that I've seen

In God's House

In God's House
I do wait
For my love
On our wedding day

Dewy eyes
And lashes long
For my love
But I'm feeling something's wrong

What's this I see
My baby's hands on the wheel
What's this I see
Fire
Fire
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Through this veil
They can't see
The fog of death
Envelop me
Where's my boy
Why would he lie
And leave me here
In this church to cry

What's this I see
My baby dying on the beach
What's this I see
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire

Honeymooning Alone

Walking out
Walking out in this cold winter light
And the pretty girls
All the pretty ones have tears in their eyes
And I can't speak
Because I don't have you here by my side
And I'll always be
I'll always be the girl that was denied

Driving my car in the night
(Honeymooning alone)
The cans on the road in tail light
(Honeymooning alone)
And your empty seat by my side
(Honeymooning alone)
If I drive far enough, will I find my love
My love, my love
My love, my love
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Crying now
Crying as the stars fail to shine
Pining now
Pining for your warmth and your smile
And I waited all
I waited all my life for this night
But there's no moon
The moon has turned out all the lights

Driving my car in the night
(Honeymooning alone)
The cans on the road in tail light
(Honeymooning alone)
And your empty seat by my side
(Honeymooning alone)
If I drive far enough, will I find my love
My love, my love
My love, my love
My love, my love
My love, my love
My love
My love

Sunday Love

See her in blue eyes
Numb and shining
In the face of strangers
In the city lights

Grey is climbing
Cupid's diving
And I know that she's come to spend the night
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
I see her in every place I go
Sunday love is so cold
Even though I'm falling apart
I want Sunday love in my heart

See her in blue eyes
Still and shining
In lonely lovers
On bedsheets white

Grey shapes sliding
I've been pining
She's in my bedroom
Now I can't fight

I see her in every place I go
Sunday love is so cold
Even though I'm falling apart
I want Sunday love in my heart

I see her in every place I go
Sunday love is so cold
Even though I'm falling apart
I want Sunday love in my heart

I see her in every place I go
Sunday love is so cold
Even though I'm falling apart
I want Sunday love in my heart

Never Forgive The Angels

On a road
Forever
He will be riding to me
Metal death
Cliffs exploding
Sirens moan
To me
Nightmares come
And they don't go
For my love is gone
And I will never forgive the angels for that
And I will never forgive the angels for that
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
On a road
Forever
He will be riding to me
Devil hearts explode
Beside me
Nightmares come
And they won't go
For my love is gone
And I will never (and I will never)
Forgive the angels (forgive the angels)
For that (for that)
And I will never (and I will never)
Forgive the angels (forgive the angels)
For that (for that)

Close Encounters

Some say my lover is a pale green light
He hovers high where the moon shines bright
I feel him come to me in the dead of night
And I go to the other side

And when he lovingly takes my hand
Pulls me close to a windswept land
I can't make anybody else understand
How I go to the other side
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
You know that I love you 'til the stars don't shine
You know that you'll always fill this heart of mine
And I could never forget with time
All our close encounters
All our close encounters

And on the other side, he is all around
He is a starry beam that lays me down
And we become a dream of time and sound
When I go to the other side

You know that I'll love you 'til the stars don't shine
You know that you'll always fill this heart of mine
And I could never forget with time
All our close encounters
All our close encounters
All our close encounters

Widow's Peak

Come wonder with me
Through young girl's dreams
Don't wake me up too soon
There's a halo on the moon
You hunger, I'll thirst
Pink stars do burst
God of lightening, Goddess of fern
A map to memorise
A lullaby to learn
Come on, darling, take me there
Where red clouds bloom and fill the air
Where my purple heart beats to your jet black snare
Up on Piney Point if you dare
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
You're my blood, you're my wine
You're my mountain to climb
Say you're mine, you're mine, you're mine

Bride in the fog and no way out
Can't see my own hands, can't hear a sound
Where angels conspire and heroes do drown
I am lost in the mire, upside down

Is that my soul on fire whirling by
Take a walk, man of God, I just want to die
I tell you, my friend, the widow is on my trail shhhh
You'll hear her
You will know her
A chill on the skin
A song on the wind

To wonder
To roam
To never know home
To lie under a sky of blood reds and pale blues
To tread ten thousand miles in a dead man's shoes
There's a demon loose
A demon loose
I can't get home
I can't get home
For the road is a snake of mist
In the shadow of a rebel's fist
His jacket on my back
His bones on the shore
But the secret to dreams is to dream up a door
A portrait of him
A picture of her
A keyhole in a Douglas Fir

Land's End

Well, the winter it came, my love
And I did not know my own name
So I drove down that old country road
And the spirits conjured something
Grey clouds over storms did roll and
I searched for you in the cyclone
For my love I will bleed
Gonna drive 'til I set myself free
To Land's End oh oh
To Land's End oh oh
To Land's End
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Past the soothsayer and old man-wise
Where the witches burnt for all our lies
Past the motorways and city lights
Let my soul be free and spirit fly
To Land's End oh oh
To Land's End oh oh
To Land's End
To Land's End

If I Knew

You know that you came at the perfect time
There was a mountain I had to claim as mine
And you brought every weather from storm to shine
But I'm thankful for who you helped me find

Baby, if I knew what I know now
I would never turn it back around
Wrong or right
You held me up to the light
The mountain had a mirror inside
And where I was going took time
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
You've seen me walk through a veil of fire
Strung up by the darkness as my pain flew higher
And I thought it was you I'd been searching for
But somehow I am the mirror, the mountain, the door

Baby, if I knew what I know now
I could never turn it back around
Wrong or right
You held me up to the light
The mountain had a mirror inside
And where I was going took time

I Will Love Again

One of these nights
One of these days
I will love again
Oh I was a deer in the lights
I was lost in the waves
But I will love again

'Cause I will turn it back around
I'll be homeward bound
I will turn it back around
I'll be homeward bound
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
One of these nights
One of these days
I will love again

I was an eagle in flight
I was lost in the caves
But I will love again

'Cause I will turn it back around
I'll be homeward bound
I will turn it back around
I'll be homeward bound

In Your Bed

I don't wanna party no more
Somehow that scene's become such a bore
I don't even wanna paint the town red
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
I don't wanna waste my time
Putting on dresses and drinking wine
I just wanna be in your arms instead

Let's lay in your bed
And dream together
In a world of our minds
Just spending time in your bed
And walk forever
In a silence divine
Just spending time in your bed

Little Annie makes things seem bright
When she spins sparkles all through the night
But I like your light, the kind that grows inside

Get home so early the birds are in bed
There's a cyclone blowing through my head
Well, I just wanna be in your arms instead

Let's lay in your bed
And dream together
In a world of our minds
Just spending time in your bed
And walk forever
In a silence sublime
Just spending time in your bed
And dream forever in a world of our minds
Just spending time in your bed
And walk forever
In a silence sublime
Just spending time

Clouds

Clouds rush through your eyes
Clouds black and white
I am lost until some day
When you will come and love me

Rain, I will take as a sign
Rain, heavy gray skies divine
Rain, will you wash me through the night
Rain, divine, divine, divine

Clouds brush past my window
Clouds follow me through the house
I am lost until some day
When you will come and find me
Always copy, always paste, shame on robots
Rain, I will take as a sign
Rain, heavy gray skies divine
Rain, wash me clean through the night
Rain, divine, divine, divine
Rain, divine, divine, divine
Rain, divine, divine, divine

Kids In The Dark

Lying next to you
We could be on the moon
Tell me you're not leaving
'Cause you're always on my mind
It's been such a dark night
Boy, I know you've been grieving

Riding through the pines
See you in the red light
And everything is on fire

Let's take it down
To the heart
Let's take it down
To where the loving starts
Where we're just kids in the dark

Lying next to you
And I want to live for two
I tell you I'm never leaving
'Cause you're always on my mind
It's been such a hard time
But I know it's the real thing

Riding through the pines
See you in the red light
And everything is on fire

Let's take it down
To the heart
Let's take it down
To where the loving starts
Where we're just kids in the dark

The Hunger

Take a trip
Trip up to the sun
While our bodies are one
And we play in our minds

'Cause it's our blood
And it fills up the sky
Off the bridges we fly
Can we keep us alive

I wanna fly
You know how I like it
I wanna feel
Like I'm still alive
I wanna bleed
And feed us forever
But I'll only feel
The hunger inside
The hunger inside
The hunger inside

Take a trip
Trip down through the fire
Where we lose our desire
To keep up the dance

'Cause it's our love
('Cause you know it's our love)
That is hurt by the flame
(When it becomes a flame)
Can't take this road again
(Can we get back to love)
If we want to survive

I wanna fly
You know how I like it
I wanna feel
Like I'm still alive
I wanna bleed
And feed us forever
But I'll only feel
The hunger inside
The hunger inside
The hunger inside

If I could be you
And you could be me
We'd see the hunger inside
And not the enemy

If I could be you
And you could be me
We'd see the hunger inside
And not the enemy

'Cause we can make it love again
It's time to start things over
And we can come back from the dead
And feed this endless hunger

'Cause we can make it love again
It's time to start things over
And we can come back from the dead
And feed this endless hunger

Feel For You

Oh, I love you
I feel for you
Oh, I love you
I feel for you

Oh, I love you
I feel for you
Oh, I love you
I feel for you...

Desert Man

Measuring the distance between you and I
Finding the location inside
You being alive while I'm alive
Within the dusty desert sky

It’s hard to get high with you
And not go low
I've waited so long to
Take it slow
Desert man
Desert man
Love is a nowhere land
Desert man
Desert man
Love is a desert man, man

Measuring the vastness of pastel blue
Measuring the sadness I see in you
You take me to that nowhere land
Pull me in with your both your hands
And just to love is all I can do to understand

It’s hard to get high with you
And not go low
I've waited so long to
Take it slow
Desert man
Desert man
Your love is a nowhere land
Desert man
Desert man
Your love is a nowhere land

It’s hard to get high with you
And not go low
I've waited so long to
Take it slow
Desert man
Desert man
Love is a nowhere land
Desert man
Desert man

Jasmine

She drives hard through the June Gloom haze
Legs for days and bones of pearl
Her love hurtling down death's highways
The hands of a killer, the heart of a little girl

Jasmine
You come along
And take me
To where I feel like
A woman, coming on strong
Jasmine into the night
Night

Don’t be seduced by those baby blues
That secret smile when it's catching you
'Cause little girl cracks your heart in two
Sucks the juice till she turns you loose

Jasmine
You come along
And take me
To where I feel like
A woman, coming on strong
Jasmine into the night
Night
Into the night
Night

A body bag on eucalyptus hills
And the Hollywood forever
And the endless sleeping pills
No girl will ever cure your nighttime ills
Like Jasmine does
’Cause when she blooms, she kills

So Good

Mama, I love this boy
He plays the cat and I play the toy
And he runs me all over town
He takes me up and then he brings me down
He holds my hand and when he takes the bite
Out of my confidence and dims my light
But it's in my body and in my brain
One look at him and I can feel the pain

Why does it hurt so good
You don't treat me like you should
Does it hurt so good
I just want you to tell me
Why does it hurt so good
You don't treat me like you should
Does it hurt so good
I just need you to tell me (Why?)

It's an addiction that I cannot fight
Don't wanna stop, don't wanna make it right
'Cause when it's wrong you know it's such a thrill
He plays a hunter and I play his kill
And if I ever try to turn away
He gets excited and it makes me stay
But it's a drug that never numbs the pain
And I'm the only one to blame (So)

Why does it hurt so good
You don't treat me like you should
Does it hurt so good
I just want you to tell me
Why does it hurt so good
You don't treat me like you should
Does it hurt so good
I just need you to tell me (Why?)

Safe Tonight

I thought that I was broken
I thought that I had lost my mind
I thought that I was so in
So in love, you'd leave me behind
I did not always show how
It can be hard for me to cry
I thought that I was broken
Until you said, you’re safe tonight

Lying in the dark and I am out of time
There's a demon in my heart that I'm not sure we’ll survive
The shadows come around one too many times
Baby, I need you to tell me I'm safe tonight

I thought that I was broken
I thought that I had lost my mind
I thought that I was so in
So in love, you'd leave me behind
I did not always show how
It can be hard for me to cry
I thought that I was broken
Until you said, you're safe tonight

Lying in the dark but now you take my hand
We were worlds apart, you say you understand
There's a cloud in my heart that made me scared to try
But I hold you close, now I'm safe tonight

Safe tonight, we'll go away
Safe tonight, we'll always stay
Safe tonight, don’t go away
Safe tonight, you’ll always stay
Safe tonight, don't ya go away
Safe tonight, you’ll always stay
Safe tonight, don't go away
Safe tonight, you'll always stay

You're safe tonight
You’re safe tonight
You're safe tonight
You're safe tonight

Oh, you and I know

You know that I
Can do it right, I won't chase you down
'Cause I'm your girl
'Cause I'm your girl
I'm your girl

No matter where you go
Am I coming on too strong

Oh, you and I know
I know it ain't right
I, I want a long goodnight

Oh, you and I know
I know it ain't right
So I, I want a long goodnight

You know that I
Will do you right, I won't chase you down
You know that I
Would do it right, I won't chase you down
You know that I
Can do it right, I won't chase you down
'Cause I'm your girl
'Cause I'm your girl
I'm your girl

Mountains

You know I couldn't see which way to turn
Fell down at the floor at your feet, begged you to let me burn
Told you that I'm just too afraid to stay here in your arms
Drive me off the edge of this cliff
And you can watch me crash dance

'Cause we both know, it’s not an easy ride
When it goes up in smoke, I just want to hide
Can we make it right like it was at the start
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark

So you turned to the mountain, she started to sing soft
Elvis in the midnight air, I lost your body and soul to the fog
A hundred forks in the road, a hundred knives in my heart
You said go sing to the lovers, don't ever look over your shoulders

'Cause we both know, it’s not an easy ride
When it goes up in smoke, I just want to hide
Can we make it right like it was at the start
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark

We both know it’s not an easy ride
When it goes up in smoke, I just want to hide
Can we make it right like it was at the start
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
You know I couldn't see which way to turn
Fell down at the floor at your feet, begged you to let me burn
Told you that I'm just too afraid to stay here in your arms
Drive me off the edge of this cliff
And you can watch me crash dance

'Cause we both know, it’s not an easy ride
When it goes up in smoke, I just want to hide
Can we make it right like it was at the start
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark

So you turned to the mountain, she started to sing soft
Elvis in the midnight air, I lost your body and soul to the fog
A hundred forks in the road, a hundred knives in my heart
You said go sing to the lovers, don't ever look over your shoulders

'Cause we both know, it’s not an easy ride
When it goes up in smoke, I just want to hide
Can we make it right like it was at the start
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark

We both know it’s not an easy ride
When it goes up in smoke, I just want to hide
Can we make it right like it was at the start
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark
Sing to me in the dark, sing to me in the dark

The Dream Of Delphi

The Dream Of Delphi

Breezes, breezes, on your fingers
Touching thin air
Playing, playing with angels
Breathing a new transmission
Falling, falling from the sky
Deeper, my love is soaring
Soaring so very high

The dream of Delphi on my mind
The dream of Delphi on my mind
The dream of Delphi on my mind
The dream of Delphi on my mind

Soaring, soaring, past cliffs of white
Milk and, milk and opal light

The dream of Delphi on my mind
The dream of Delphi on my mind
The dream of Delphi on my mind
The dream of Delphi on my mind

Christmas Day

You're a gift
You're a gift
You're from me
But you're not mine

Oh love, love, love, love, love
Oh love, love, love, love, love
Oh love, love, love, love, love
I love, I love

You're a gift
Though not mine
You're a gift
That I'll come to give away, in time
I'll come to give away, in time

Letter To My Daughter

Don't give yourself up to thinking
This ride is ever over
Remember you came from a spiral, unfolding
A tender star while magnolia are slowly unfurling

Your life, an echo, my darling, of all before
Your life, an echo, my darling, of all to come

And yes, you're a song

At Your Feet

Oh what will
Oh what will
Oh what will
Oh what will become of you and me
You and me
Dry your eyes in the night
Falling down
Falling down and proud
At your feet
At your feet
Sure as the day breaks
So do I

Never feeling is endless
I'm flying I'm flying with no propellers
Too much on the line to risk the win
So I won't let the doors close within
The morning, the morning just turned to evening
The mirror, the mirror can tell that I'm leaving
The pain is just too strong to hold in
I'm on my way so don't change your pin

So baby, I'll come home
So baby, I'll come home
So baby, I'll come home

See I don't know where we're going
I'm caught up, I'm caught up, lost in the moment
Who knows what's the best thing to do
All I know is this life is cruel

Imagine, imagination is greater
You gotta, you gotta believe, never waver
As clear as the water, I see this blue
Will never stop me from getting to you

So baby, I'll come home
So baby, I'll come home
So baby, I'll come home

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I know, I'm on my way home
I'm on my way
I'm on
I'm on my way home
I'm on my way
I'm on my way home

A Forest

(from Perfect as Cats: A Tribute to the Cure, 2008)

(Come) closer and see
See into the trees
Follow the girl
While you can
(Come) closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
(And) start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But i know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I am running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again and again...
And again.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!...

All I Need

(Radiohead cover / Live)

I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings

I'm an animal
Trapped in your hot car

I am all the days
That you choose to ignore

You are all I need
You're all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

I'm a moth
Who just wants to share your light
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night

I only stick with you
Because there are no others

You are all I need
You're all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right

It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right

It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right

( The Haunted Man itunes bonus track )

12, 11, 10, 9
Outside my house, I've built a shrine
8, 7, 6, 5
And I have dreamt, he's still alive
4, 3, 2, 1
In the lantern light, his voice is sung
Row, row, row, row
The time is right for us to go

Wane the night and all her darkness
Daphne froze in her white nightgown
Cotton build round her body
The sea is calling me down
The sea is calling me down
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Bloom the night and all her darkness
Daphne froze on the precipice
Years of tears absolved her body
As she cried nevermore
As she cried nevermore

1, 2, 3, 4
For you my love, I'll wait no more
5, 6, 7, 8
Leave your kisses to rest at the garden gate
9, 10, 11, 12
Because I've got to save myself
Row, row, row, row
The time is right for you to go

Garden's Heart

(Natasha Khan & Jon Hopkins)

We lived in a garden's heart
And opened it up for the sky
The world spun itself away
But I was coming alive by your side

And now the sky is snowing ash
And we are talking from so far away
I hear a whisper in the trees
Where I am you and you are me

You need to find a way back here
Remember what I said
The space that is in between
You have to fight it

You need to find a way back here
Remember what I said
The space that is in between
You have to fight it
You have to fight it

And now the trees are growing still
And the flowers have fallen asleep
There's a darkness beyond the hill
And I pray for your soul, your soul to keep

You need to find a way back here
Remember what I said
The space that is in between
You have to fight it

You need to find a way back here
Remember what I said
The space that is in between
You have to fight it
You have to fight it

But I am you and you are me
You have to fight it
I am you and you are me
I am you and you are me
You have to fight it
You have to fight it

Horrorshow

They're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out
They're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out

Colors dancing in the sky
All my ancestry up so high
And if I call, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us

'Cause they're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out
Sleep my pretty sleep
Or the hotshots will break your heart
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
The mystical and horror show
You can see them floating
They don't know
Moving past the window
The shadows will break your heart

And horror show
You can see them floating
They don't know
Can not get a witness
Can not get a witness
The shadows will break your heart

They're gonna come and get you
They're gonna come and find out
Sleep my pretty, sleep
Or the hotshots will break your heart
Or the hotshots will break your heart
Or the hotshots will break your heart

Howl into the night
To the still of the dark
Shout into the silence
And etch out your bark
How angry you are
You won't take it anymore
And watch as the people run to your door

They hurt your heart
They hurt it well
And came to your assistance
In a humanitarian swell
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Werewolf howl
Werewolf howl
Roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl
Werewolf howl

(Roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
Howl
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
(Werewolf)

They came from the sky
They came from the fields
They rode in unsinking boats
Rented their gloves and coats

They hurt your heart
They hurt it well
And came to your assistance
In a humanitarian swell

Werewolf howl
Werewolf howl
Roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl
Werewolf howl

(Roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
Howl
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)

(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)

I'm on fire

( Bruce Springsteen Cover / Live cover )

Hey little boy is your mum home
Did she go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire.

Tell me now baby is she good to you
Can she do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul.

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire...

Kangaroo

( Originally performed by Alex Chilton & Big Star / Live )

I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide
Anything
I saw you leaving
I saw you leaving
I saw you staring out in space

I next saw you
You were at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh so flirty
I saw you breathing
I saw you breathing

Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
As we were leaving
I saw you breathing
I saw you breathing
I want you
Oh I want you
Oh I want you
Oh I want you

Let's Get Lost

( The Twilight Saga - Eclipse Soundtrack )

Natasha:
Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Beck:
Let me come closer, I'm not your shadow
With our eyes shielding from the oncoming counts
It's not hard for us to say what we should not

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost

Natasha:
Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost

Lullaby

(The Cure cover / Live)

On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim, shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
And suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
There is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The Spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold

And the Spiderman is always hungry
And the Spiderman is always hungry
And the Spiderman is always hungry

( The Haunted Man itunes bonus track )

She's a girl
Up in the cold
And the sleeping man
You reached inside the drips

A glowing tear
Spilled on the boat
And the lighthouse beat
It's softly spoof
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Lumen, Lumen
Lumen, I'll see you again
(See you again)

Just stand to life
Bathe in the lake
A fall down drift
Roll around

I found all the hurts
I see them both
Throughout the night
Clean out the ghosts

Lumen, Lumen
Lumen, I'll see you again
(See you again)

Skin Song

(Body Of Songs LP)

I'm a little older now
There's scars and there are frowns
There's memories in the dust
The skin that I live in is cool and paper thin
It's got a swan song to sing

I've blushed and I have bruised
Felt the passing of youth
I've bled and I have healed
Held babes in my arms
Counted lovers counted scars
The prayers when I had you

'Cause I have my time
It dances in the skin when I smile
And for the years that pass me by
My body's an old good friend of mine

And when the nerves are warmed
In tiny hairs and rows
In cells that call my name
I feel those echoes out
And you are in the scars under my shirt again

'Cause I have my time
It dances in the skin when I smile
And for the years that pass me by
My body's an old good friend of mine

My body's an old good friend of mine

Solsbury Hill

(Peter Gabriel cover / Live)

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching every nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Take you home

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll show them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"

Strangelove

( Depeche Mode Cover )

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another river full
Yes, I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

Pain will you return it
Again and again
Pain

Will you return it
I'll say it again
Pain

Pain will you return it
I'll say it again
Pain

Pain will you return it
I'll say it again
Pain

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

Sweet Dreams

(appears on Radio 1's Live Lounge Vol. 3: 40 Unique Covers & Classic Tracks, 2008 | originally by Eurythmics)

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Hold your head up
Keep your head up
Hold you head up
Keep your head up
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

The Boys Of Summer

(Don Henley cover / Live at Earth, London, 2019)

Ain't nobody on the road
Ain't nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home

'Cause I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You see your hair combed back and
Your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how I made you crazy
Remember how you made me scream
But I don't understand what happened to our love
But, babe, I'm gonna get you back
Gonna show you what I'm made of

'Cause I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow
And you're smiling at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A voice inside my head said
"Don't look back, you can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was, what did I know
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but

I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got the top pulled down
Radio on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Use Somebody

(Kings Of Leon cover / Live Lounge BBC Radio 1)

I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you
And all you know
And how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you ooh ooh
Someone like you ooh ooh

Off in the night
Uou live it up while I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat

I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me ooh ooh
Someone like me ooh ooh
Someone like me ooh ooh
Someone like me ooh ooh

We Found Love

(Calvin Harris cover / Live on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1)

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind

It's the way I'm feeling, I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

We've Only Just Begun

(The Carpenters cover / Live)

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
Yes, we've just begun

Before the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching for signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day together

When the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
Yes, we've just begun

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching for signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day together, together

Wild Is The Wind

(Dimitri Tiomkine and Ned Washington)

Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
For we're like creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me, everything to me

Like the leaf clings to the tree
Baby, please, cling on to me
For we are creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
