 (by Andy Kellman )

Ben Christophers has come along way since his humble beginnings in Wolverhampton. With two critically acclaimed albums under his belt ‘My Beautiful Demon’ and ‘Spoonface’, he is back and set to woo the critics and fans once again with his third offering the beautiful and seductive new album, ‘The Spaces In Between’, which is due for release on 13th September 2004. ’The Spaces In Between’ shows Ben in a new light. “This is the most upbeat and optimistic record I’ve written”, explains Ben. “The biggest difference between this one and my two previous albums is that I had so much material written, I had a really clear feeling for the sound because of it.” Written and recorded between the Summer of 2003 and early 2004, it also marks the first time that Ben hasn’t worked with producer/artist David Kosten of Faultline. “I had been writing for a while and would go and see David every now and then and show him what I was doing. He gave me a lot of advice on where to go, but there was a point I realized our paths weren’t going to cross this time, he was busy with his label Tiny Consumer and new album and I was ready to get started it just unfolded that way this time, but who knows I hope we work together again.” During the recording of ‘Spoonface’ Ben met Cenzo Townshend, (Graham Coxon, Blur, Datsuns, Cranberries, Echo and the Bunnymen) Cenzo has a mobile studio which he had been putting together for a while. “I took him my demos and he really liked the straight forwardness and understood what I was trying to do. We hired this house in Suffolk right by the sea and he took his Studio down and we spent about three weeks putting it in to shape.”

Drawing influences from David Bowie (I love the way he moved between moods from album to album), Kate Bush (“the way she used strings on ‘Hounds of Love’, they just bounced on the beat, it’s genius.”) Prince, Edith Piaf and Nina Simone. Ben played and arranged just about everything on the album, recording the guitar and vocals at the same time, adding the other instruments afterwards. Ben has also been writing with the French chanteuse Francoise Hardy. The track will feature on her new album ‘Tant de belles choses’, “I wrote her a letter’ says Ben, ‘it took me ages to get the wording right and not sound like a stalker - I mean - what do you say? We hope to do more together in the future too.” Ben began writing songs at the tender age of five when his father gave him his first guitar. “I think I saw songwriting as an escape when I started, like fantasy, infact I still do he says. My first song was in E-minor and lasted for about 30seconds. It was an awesome feeling recording it on to this old reel-to-reel tape I had, I was completely fascinated by it and used it until it stopped working.” He graduated on to the piano when his grandmother installed one in the family home. Much to his parents’ horror, Ben was only interested in how to detune it; “I fell in love with the way it rattled and choked, I thought I'd found the Devil…”

Ben's first job after leaving school, was working in a factory that distributed pornography. “I met some of the most inspiring people ever, it was so bleak and so depressing” he explains. “There were people who were on the run, just out of prison. I was kind of taken under their wing, because I was obviously completely out of my depth and so young. I think they thought I was a bit posh. I stuck it out for about a year but I had to leave.” Ben emerged on to the music scene in 1999, with a series of low-key solo shows underneath a pizza parlour in the West End of London. Each night, the shows were rammed, the audience riveted by his performances of irresistible fragility and passion. Shortly afterwards he signed to V2 releasing two albums, which was followed by extensive touring in the UK, Europe and Australia. Ben signed to Cooking Vinyl for the world in early 2004. Which brings us neatly back to where we started. The Spaces In Between is compulsive listening. From the sweetly sinister ‘Flowers Drink Upon The Ground’, and the shimmering simplicity of ‘Devil To Kill’, to the laid back, happy-go-lucky feel of ‘Good Day For the Hopeless’, and the mesmerizing ‘Riversong’ the album resonates with life, passion and emotional genius.

My Beautiful Demon

My beautiful demon

I remember you in cine film
The sunshine always burst the cloud
The smell of cut grass fills the sky
Just like the birds of mid July

I remember you in cine film
I fell in love to easily
Sometimes we stayed up through the night
Walked through the streets electric light

My beautiful demon
my beautiful demon
Flood lit veins and I enhale you
I'm missing the sweetest ghost
Killed with silence
Feels like I am
Missing the sweetest ghost

I remember you in cine film
The way you ran to catch me out
Do you think about it to
On days like these I think of you

My beautiful demon
My beautiful demon
I remember you in cine film
My beautiful demon

Give me everything

Bring down
All the shade that blinded
The baby stars and eyelids
Under the cinema sky

Maybe
We're to blame
And maybe we're not the same but surely
We're as god intended

I hope your catching your breath
On a mountain somewhere
I hope it's all you thought it was
I hope your somewhere out there

With waves like white horses
Days like these force me to miss you
I think I will always be
Maybe
We're all the misfits lifted
Uneasy from it real life
Swallowed you up whole
Bring down all the shade
And give me everything
Real like swallowed you up whole

I hope your catching your breath
In a moment shared
On a mountain somewhere
For the sweet here after
I hope it's all you thought it was
Heaven knows your name
I hope your somewhere out there

Wake up
Slowly early morning
Days like these I miss you
I think I always will
I think I always will

Before the winter parade

Sails her blue eyes over you
Savour the springtime of our kiss
Souls worn blind by sweetheart cures in
Just like lovers do
Taste your skin still on my lips
And still I feel you move
The subway darkness will never strike
Those sevenths in me again

All along we played down our love
Hold onto my heart if we jump

Then you'll be my sweetheart solely
Joining long embrace
Then you'll be burning my courage
Like the holy ghost
Just like sweethearts do
At the spring time of their love

Your breath's so warm on my lips
I can almost hear you think
On a freezing cold november
But it's warm in the pools of your eyes

Steel hearts turn to stone
Are we clear
How we feel
Shall we spill
All that rain on those
Steel hearts turn to stone

Just like sweethearts do
At the springtime of their love
Just like lovers do

Stay

I'm thrown it's like your still here
In among my heart
I'll always sleep on my side
Even though your gone

All we tear is each other
Stay
Love will weave the deepest stitch
Don't cry your underwater smile
Just stay

The silence is unbroken
Draws upon my lips
I'll be the one that let you down

It's been a beautiful day

It's not the way
The day draws in that I think this
Or the way stones sink
Lower than the clouds sending ripples through the air
Autumn leaves pave the park
But you still remember
The colours of summer green
Your sweetest heart
Seems so unaffected by the things that kill

It's been
A beautiful day
Even after the rain
It's been
A beautiful day
Even after the rain

You must be made
Of steel Jane
Where's the peace in all that strength and wisdom going
Eternal life
Maybe that's my liberation
Something to belong to
Your sweetest heart
Seems so unaffected by the things that kill

It's been a beautiful day

Sunday

There maybe more to this I don't know I only got here
Whatever you feel I'm sure you'll be the only one
Truth is I've never felt sure until right now
All too much too soon how can I
Get by without

Can't wait
To see you after sunday
Because your smile is shining
Like a razorblade

Don't say
See you after sunday
Because it seems too long to
Waste away the time

There maybe more to this I don't know i only got here
What ever you feel I'm sure you'll be the only one
I hear you feel
The same way how can I escape without you


Healer

Big yellow eyes
Strung up like flies from the moon
He's looking at you don't let him catch you
Sends a shiver like a spinning top rage down the spine

I clear the dark clouds and you're the best thing ever
You're the best thing, you're the best thing
Healer save me

Remote control

Draws in the rocket tails and wonders why
Steel strung nerves still creak
When the wind blows
Switch the sound off and step off the train
Keep walking until you're free again

Remote control
From the pale parade
All the souls caught on shirt tails

Stepping over the subways blood stream
Racing hounds and turnstile
Caught like butterflies in sellotape
Keep flapping until you're free again

Remote control
Step away you know it's easy to deceive
You'll sink so fast you'll have no time to breath
The time bomb seeks its way into the soul
When the bow breaks
Tin soldiers fall
Remote control
Round and round and round and round

Remote control
The pale parade
All the souls caught on shirt tails
And they sway

Turn the sunshine on it must be time for love
But do the sinking needs dissolve the will to love again
I found a better way to hold the things I need
While open-ended heads deceive what they believe
Remote control

Always

Racing down the alleyways
The summers here I hope she stays forever
Winter froze the pond this year
With spiky rain
In silence from the fall
The sky has turned to cellophane
This is the best time of the year
I held you on the longest day
To make the most
To make it stay
Always

Skyscraper

Yearning lately
Unguided desire
I've been burning until now
I clear
You clear we break like bones
Courage shared us
I'll sail this ship alone

Goodnight silver star
Goodnight angel's eyes
From the skyscraper
The world turns out of sight

Electrified into submission
Kissing slowly in love

Skyscraper

Spoonface

Leaving My Sorrow Behind

Birds flying down
Come the morning
Wakes you up under the sky
Leave my sorrow behind
It only weighs me down
I feel so bad inside

Birds flying home
Come the morning
Raise you up under the sky
Leave my sorrow behind
It only weighs me down
I feel so bad inside

Tell me why Lord
I must learn how to cry
Before I can see where I'm going
Lord why does my sorrow make me feel so good

A new day dawns
Loneliness has been silent enough 'round here
Sunlight blinds our eyes
Everything is coming home to stay for good this time

Tell me why Lord
I must learn how to cry
Before I can see where I'm going
Lord why does my sorrow make me feel so good

Birds flying home
And I'm leaving my sorrow behind

The Stream

When you drove your car into the stream
That was weird you seemed so phased by it
In a moment your life turns
Like a carousel inside

When you found your daddy's heart in you
All those things you hated were your cross
In a moment your life turns
Like a carousel inside

Bring on new soul
Can't escape it
Can't reply
For today

Down she goes and glitters as she moves
Strands of hair on water burned your eyes
Bring on new soul

Can't escape it
Can't reply
For today

When you drove your car into the stream

Falls Into View

Falls into view
And you find it's not the right way round
Unfolds a stare I'm homeward bound
And draws on tomorow
Deep city soul
Does she walk with you between the aisles
You're flying high over the groves
Devils heart is broken

All that we are
We cried ourselves dry
Everyone sees
The sweet light of change

Night time came in hooded cloaks
Slides through starlight and eyelids
A crushing smile into me goes
The last wish
Falls into view

Transatlantic Shooting Stars

Fallen angel in the crowd
Drags her heels over the noise
Lays down at the roadside of regard
A canyon in my broken mind
Echos deep inside the vale
There's dustcarts for the dead birds in the trees

Trans-atlantic shooting stars over mainline
Here they come suburban gods
To bless desire

Heaven hopes you find her here
The raincatchers
The devils blades
There's karma for the misfits of our times

Take this really you take my soul
Take me down when you laugh I fall
All this pity has broken me
But my survival lies with me

I'm going to love you as best as I can
I'm going to hold you close when I tremble
I'm going to love you as best as I can
I'm going to see you rise

I won't ever let you fall out of my senses
Fall out of my own hands
No I won't ever let you let you

Will I find my way home?

Hooded Kiss

A deep river flows of weathered sins and weathered souls
A kiss a hooded kiss in the seeds of desire
So grief heavenly grief my love you're bringing to me
But you've got shipwreckers eyes and all a cutting stingray smile

I heard the wind has blown a blessed lie and lovers pains
Over streets and wires underneath alien streams
So sweet heavenly sweet my love you're bringing to me
But you've got shipwreckers eyes and all a cutting stingray smile

A river flows
Of weathered souls
But I can see shipwreckers eyes
And all that cutting stingray smile
A kiss a hooded kiss for the one I love

I crossed a lonely road a beggar with sullen clouds in my head
And these lines in my face for every tear you're away
So sweet heavenly sweet my love you're bringing to me
But you got shipwreckers eyes and all a cutting stingray smile

A river flows
Of weathered souls
But I can see shipwreckers eyes
And all that cutting stingray smile
A kiss a hooded kiss for the one I love
Sweet heavenly sweet bringing my love you're bringing to me
But you've got shipwreckers eyes and all
A cutting stingray smile

Easter Park

Racing into town
Bicycles in line
In your raid
In your raid I was
Crazy inner feeling flows in here
I'm a child sweet liberty

Heaven knows you thrilled them too
You raid my senses sunny vale

Am I really safe with you

Heaven knows you thrilled them too

We'll never fade apart
Evergreen and everclear

Pretty one we'll stay home
Heaven knows you thrilled them

Songbird Scapes The Sky

Racing into town
Bicycles in line
In your raid
In your raid I was
Crazy inner feeling flows in here
I'm a child sweet liberty

Heaven knows you thrilled them too
You raid my senses sunny vale

Am I really safe with you
If I dont know you I dont know myself

Spoonface

Honey swept away her skin
Oh my god they're lining up
Spoonface Jesus spitting rhythms
Sweet abandon smells expensive
Eat each finger eat each other
Watch myself there on the bed
Oh my god you're ugly now
Suck me from the outside in
I have changed my reflection
Hollow deep the food's so pretty
Silence is deceiving me
Close your mouth she is the victim
Honey swept away her skin
Watch myself there on the bed
Watch myself they're lining up
Have you everything you need
Oh my god you're ugly now
Spoonface Jesus spitting rhythm
Oh my god you're ugly now
Watch myself there on the bed
I have changed my reflection
Hollow deep the food's so pretty
Silence is deceiving me
Close your mouth she is the victim
Spoonface Jesus spitting rhythm
Eat each finger eat each other
Watch myself there on the bed
Sweet abandon smells expensive
Oh my god they're ugly now
Oh my god you're ugly now
Oh my god
Honey swept away her skin
Spoonface Jesus....Spoonface Jesus spitting rhythms
Watch myself there on the bed

Losing Myself

The trees are swaying in their pink noise up on the hill
Today's the day to remember always
It's three o'clock and the sun is as warm as warm can be
And I hear the church bells over the city

As if by magic you and me were there again
Then I remembered how you smiled if I was mocking you
Someone's playing music
And it's swimming from that window sill
We stood there listening
But I was thinking more about holding your hand

What does it all come down to
I'm losing myself
There's scissors for voodoo in my mind
I'm doing it my way
I'm doing it my way

The record player plays a lost soul for everyone
And all the sirens fill the dead street thrillers
Bring out the freak shows and the loveless for tomorrows news
And I heard the church bells over the city
And I said

Are you shading in my mind?

What does it all come down to
I'm losing myself
There's scissors for voodoo in my mind
I'm doing it my way
I'm doing it my way

The Opium Willows

Did you see the lights it feels like the air has shivered
With electric eyes shall we stay in tonight
It's all the rage are you drawn to a place you're scared of
It's all the same if you're drawn to a place at all

A veil was thrown over the graves
And sunlight twists herself into the kite strings
It's all the rage are you drawn to a place you're scared of
It's all the same if you're drawn to a place at all

And it burns in his heart
Don't fear tomorrow
Burns in his heart
Don't fear tomorrow comes

The table lifts underneath the seance
And eyes are strung out like daisy chains
Through all the withered leaves in doorways
We walk these floors but never alone
It's all the rage are you drawn to a place you're scared of
It's all the same if your drawn to a place at all

Did you see the lights
She ran across the sky
Among it's dials a heart sinks
Don't fear tomorrow comes

The Spaces in Between

Flowers Drink Upon The Ground

Flowers drink upon the ground
In the story of nature
Queer as folk they think there's gold
In those rugged streams
But it's been dry for years

And they sway like empty clothes
In soulless avenues
And they wind on like the roads
Until the rains became their eyes

The boy who belonged to no one else but himself
And those darling beasts became your friend
So bless the girl who took me away
It's those diamond eyes
It's all I could take

She smokes a smile like nothing I've seen
Makes the wind wind over all the dark days
Blow down the secret ship of despair
For all to find a place to believe in
Everyone's missing someone
Everyone's missing something

And still I don't know why a bee stings and dies
And yet it's wasps I hate
Why does money matter so
And people look for ufo's

The books are dying from disbelief
They are the poses at the road side
Love is sabotage you tasted blood
You had it coming for years
And years

And you sway like empty clothes
In soulless avenues
And it winds on like the roads
Until the rains become their eyes
For all of time

Lord I've been foolish forgive me
Lord I fucked up forgive me
Forgive me
Lord I've been foolish forgive me

Good Day For The Hopeless

Let me find it in my head
Me i'm hazey hesitatin instead

I only find sense in the wilderness
Dialing zeros to operate my mind
I only find sense in the chaos
Dialing out to get away from here

What a good day for the hopeless
So i'm lazy yes i'm down
What a great day what a good day
There's no one else around

The highway drones like belly aches
All these road bend
Deviate

I only find sense in the wilderness
Dialing zeros to operate my mind

Everybody Stood To See Us

Rip out time from the clock
No one keeps up with the hands anyway

Walked a lonely street
Of skeleton grins
A needle full of empty things
But all along we were ok

Everybody stood to see us
And everyone agreed
We lit up like the stars
And everybody stood to see us land
And everyone believed
We lit up like the stars

Wireless words
Float through space
A happy vale for all the dreams
And all the ones who want to know

Soundless waves rolled over us
Thought we were going down like stones
But all along we were ok
All along we were ok

River Song

She came round here like ravens
Little diamonds on water
There's blood on your lips
Kissed by the ruin glow of your lust

Captured in your arms
Dead city dreamer
Creep from your hair like vultures do
Deep inside your skin
Ride pretty shadow
Finger tips crawl from you

Wrecking ball swings over us eye's shut
Bicycle spokes
Innocent spin
As lonely as addiction you're it
Tenderness lost

The Drinking Tree

There's a hiss from the highway
Snakes her hips into everybody's ears
Don't think i've heard silence for years
And i could have sworn i saw you
Walking down the cobbled stones
Beneath the leaning trees yesterday

I know you sailed away some time ago
But we come here to listen to you comfort us
With your lullaby

Underneath the drinking tree
We sail away with our friends
The cemetery is alive tonight
The disappeared the gruesome and the strays
We are invisible ink
As beautiful as you now

There's a sound in your voice
There's a place in your everlasting words
Yet i don't have a clear belief
Yet i could have sworn i heard you sing to me
From my headphones deep into my head like pill

We listen closely

A Race Between Me And Forever

It's you
You scared me half to death
What for
It's just a race between me and forever
I was on my ten speed all the way

I faced
Myself and saw no one
Just time
The little minute hand twisting my arm
Like she knows what I'll be

And you aim to the sky to the sky
Where the end has no ends and no return
And you aim to the sky to the sky
A lonely carousel

Do you
Think it's suicide
That she has a jealous side all over you
Running down a hill backwards

I faced
Myself and saw no one
Just time
The little minute hand twisting my arm
Like she knows what i'll be when i die

A lonely carousel winds on

Fake Eyelash

Inside a rolling stone
I look for you
Inside a stolen thief
I listen closely

Murdered by yourself
No one else
Like a fake eyelash I lie to myself

A moon is shining high above your way home
A vampire on your mind drinking the water
That falls from your eyes and your heart

When will she notice me and no one else

Like a fake eyelash I lie
To myself I lie that she loves me

A Devil To Kill

I've got dumb blues over you and I'm godless suddenly
I don't have anything you need

I've got these bones under me
And i want to find a cure for time
Before it's time for me

Why am I beating myself up
I've got a devil to kill
Why am I beating myself up
I've got a devil to kill

Come back honey come back
I'm aching for you
But i was the one who let you go

Aint that always the way
Aint that always the way
It's the sunshine after the darkest day

My eyes are too big for my belly
I've got these bones under me
My eyes are too big for my belly
I've got these bones under me

Aint that always the way
Aint that always the way
It's the sunshine after the darkest day

Why am I beating myself up

I've got these bones under me and i want to find a cure
For time before it's time for me

Where The Road Bends

A blade of grass in the sand
I knew someone just like you
A wondering eye among us all
We turned to daisy chains

Only where the road bends
Seeing what tomorrow brings
I hear you in the strumming
I hear you in the place I Live

And you my Love I lost to faith
And I lost myself in a long glass
I knew a boy who cut out his pain
But all that flowed was madness

Spaces In Between

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I'm craving what i don't want
daggers are temptation in my bones
I'm sure he knows my name

He says praise you boy
Come with me
This is where black flowers grow
I am the spaces in between
The dark and light
And and all those funny dreams you get
I know you fear me

But i belong to those on the other side
I don't know why you came
Umbrellas flick to black birds here
I don't know where this is

From outer space we fly
We know not where we go
From outer space we turn for ever more

He said bless you child roam with me

Follow the sun
Look up and follow the sun
And please don't be afraid of me

Viewfinder

Trashed dictaphone blues

My body shakes like a tree
Swirling leafs burst from my head
I'm a wanderer like my father wanders too

So it makes me happy when i hear you are singing
Like a swallow in the sound
In the deep night of your singing
The root of your sorrow is that boy and it's me
The root of your sorrow is that boy and it's me

I saw a whirlwind shaped knife
In the dream i was the killer
Then the roots of the tree
Grow right up around me

To become part of a drawing
And walk inside the picture
Through all the silent cities
All i was then
A ghost behind the glass
The root of your sorrow is that boy and it's me

Like a fly to my wounds
Like a fly to my wounds

Burning sun

In a lazer gun ray she approaches me
Pushing through my chest
You thought it was the end
But you'd just begun

Like all the massive tree's
That cut into the sky
I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like

You will always find the burning sun

From submarines
On the deepest deepness
I could see you drift
You thought it was end
But you'd just begun

Like all the dead birds
Still singing in my mind
You will always find a way
Even if it's gone

You will always find the burning sun

Where were you
When it all came down like the rain
Light the way on a silent sea
From the pains

You will always find the sun
Even if it's gone

Drifting stone

Like dreams
The ones you can't describe
These lines
Not drawn yet they exist

The world is like a drifting stone

These pains
The ones you can't quite find
Like screams
And how you learn to hide them away

The world is like a drifting stone

Like screens
That tell us what we need
Yet all i really need is you
These roads
Unseen yet i have walked
Like streams that flow in through our lives

The world is like drifting stone
And i am like a drifting stone

Darkness of days

Strange waters flow
Beauty is so deranged
As warped as dirty snow
Can the horror make me sane

Why do the birds stand in line on the wire
Why is the taste so sweet when you're gone

I've never seen an elephant
I've never seen new york
But i kissed a boy from my street
I broke my heart at your feet

Why do the birds stand in line on the wire
Why is the taste so sweet when you're gone
I think i have seen the darkness of days

The sweetest taste is of you

Martian

Darling martian is your heart low
Senses fire
Pierced by the music we love
These are our days

Can you feel it come ?

Tattoed by the things we love
All that shines

Can you feel it come ?

Starling

Disinfect me from myself
All twisted like my mind
Ever been so broken hearted
Ever felt you never made a start on this road
When she told you you were beauty
Underneath the earth was blowing deeply glowing
A happy smile like a baby grows

All the grass twists round your feet
Pulls you deep beneath the ground
Oh down we go
Like a doomed ship

To all the dreams you got

Everybody is like a starling
Everybody is like an eagle
Sometimes we are deadly vicious
Sometimes we are massive giants

To all the dreams you got

Youmyloveforyou

We face the same way out of the box
Time trickles endless
A cork screw dive out of my mind into my room
If we change much more than this
Will we survive

All the flys in spiderwebs
Fidgeting like they never sleep
You are in my dreams
Burning right through
Is somebody out here

That day we thought we had escaped
Slipping through the cracks in the pavement
We were like paper planes
But this ond't exist
Not like this
This don't exist

You are in my dreams
Burning right through

MyloveforyouMyloveforyouMyloveforyou...

Nightmonster

From a robot dance and a shuffeling walk
Got stream that runs into a musical sea
Come alive like a seed growing fast
I got a better place for my baby and me

Leave me alone i'm a tiny plastic plastic creature
I got my shoes
I got my place in this place now
I came from you

You're falling from my sleeves like confetti and silent snow
Trickle little horror nightmonster knows
How those night stories go
Got to find a better place for my baby and me

Leave me alone i'm tiny plastic creature

Ben Christophers

They Make Sparks With Their Claws

From a reel to reel I listen close
Push my hand up to the speaker
Good vibrations running into me
Got a pushbike called the vindeck
Taped my radio to the crossbar
To hear the bands we loved to sounds of our wheels

Fell in love with a girl who leaned against a red brick wall
In one day disappears from this world
I've had gladness on my tongue I catch like snow when I was your flag
I've seen time end things

Unleash them dogs of love
They make sparks with their claws

Well your daddy was in a dark place when he left you for depression
Leaves a little spy glass in us all some days
And your momma's the gentle breeze among the whirlwinds tail
You see heaven when she smiles

In the garden a silver birch tree slightly leaning to the right
In my memories the leaves were shimmering gold
I've been pulled beneath the surface like a spy into the night
And I�ve kissed the mouth of happiness and grief

Unleash them dogs of love
They make sparks with their claws

These Are The Days

If I was a vicar I would help
One's in need, be so wise
In my house there'd be a wooden horse
A loving fire in November

And if I was an old man I would lean
Under the weight of my stories
At the gates of my garden I�d stand
Wishing well

It's only in my mind
Only in my mind
These are the days
These are the days
We set controls for the heartless sun
I don't know what it means but I have longed for it

If I was a murderer I would be merciless
Oh so calm
I would wear a cape upon my back
And forever more it would follow me

Let us find the sun
Bodies turn to dust
I don't know what it means
But I long for it

It's only in my mind
Only in my mind
These are the days of milk and honey
We set controls for the heartless sun
Don't know what it means
But I longed for it

Nobody Knows

You don't stop
Trying to take down
All that chimes in my life
I don't know why
It does my head in
That you don't see it
You don't see it
You celebrate

Nobody knows the trouble that's been
This feeling of loss
Becomes a circus white elephants

We slowed down
Passed the street fight
Tempted by all the ugliness
You are peeking over your seat
And I hate it, I hate it
You think you know me

Nobody knows the trouble that's been
This feeling of loss becomes
A circus of dust for all of us

Snow

Won't you do something for me
Let the silence between us remain
I love the smell of the first morning coffee

But it don't taste the same
Like the freshly fallen snow
And how it reaches into my happiness
It would surely make me freeze

If blackness rows across my vision
Lord give me the courage for all my children
I have stood at the gates of hell
And learned of the fire that burns in me

But it don't taste the same
Like the freshly fallen snow
And how it reaches into my happiness
It would surely make me freeze

Circle

If I could hold you in my arms
Make you surrender kindly
Would be the best thing howling river
We are the young lights of our days

Down the lanes of all our childhood
We are lovers we are endless
Try to catch this moment
Catch the moment
Dance the pain away

How can I believe the light
Just don't want to fold before time
Let the circle end
Let the circle end with you

My love is strong
Holy armour
There was a sickened beast below
"oh darling please make your peace"
Dance the pain away

Let the circle end
Let the circle end

If you let it go
It will ease
Don't spend your life fighting
Let the circle end
Let the circle end with you

Where's My Soul Gone

I tire of love
When the signs are pointing to the signs
It is a lonely low
Are we all together out of place

Where's my soul gone
It is it is growing
Where's my soul gone
Can I be really growing
Are we all together

In the coldness of blood
Burns a low light like heaven
Don't exist a fever
Like nothing else exists

Where's my soul gone
It is it is growing
Where's my soul gone
Can I be really growing

Come on come on let go
Are we all together
Are we all together
Are we all together
Are we all together

We Are Made Of Broken Chords

Tonight we climb from the black suicide machine
Yet I know there is a little fox deep beyond your darkness
Because I feel it too

We are made of broken chords
Our love is one of them
Why we have to hurt this way
When brightness seems to fade away

And love marches in arrow heads like a comets tail
For the punk rock in our hearts
All the fears I know it is the crown
A wilting rose of memories grows into a strangle
Around our throats

We are two oceans apart
Our love is one of them
Why we have to hurt this way
When brightness seems to fade away

Venus you're a sunbeam

The Serpents Tale
Glides past my window
And I just cant see you here
While those stray eyes move through me


Venus you're a Sunbeam
Venus you're in my Blood
In your search Lights i'm recovered
After Solom sank the Rainbow

A seance in me
Confessed Love in the provence of your Heart
And it solved these lines in my face
I'm spilled and my Soul has been touched
So I reach out over a haze of dark Angels
Hold me when i'm wired
Don't leave without my hand in yours

So Venus you're a sunbeam

You stood among the Branches of my mind
Where sombre words dissolved
And hope became the anchor
Mine is the Portrait of Eden
When fears turn to Asprins and the Devils Heart was broken

So Venus you're a sunbeam
Venus you're in my blood
In your search lights i'm recovered
After solom sank the Rainbow
