B i o g r a p h y
 (by John Bush)

The duo of Corin Dingley and Andy Jenks formed Alpha after working on such projects as Statik Sound System and the Sugarboat. The duo is inspired by film soundtracks and the songwriting of Jimmy Webb with the same intensity that Massive Attack give to hip-hop and dub. Both collectives, however, are from Bristol and recruit vocalists to bring their downtempo, beat-heavy compositions to life. Alpha were signed to Massive Attack's Melankolic Records in 1997; that same year, they released their debut album, Come from Heaven. The Pepper EP followed in 1998. Impossible Thrill was issued three years later. In 2003, Alpha achieved their greatest success in their native U.K. with the release of Stargazing. Major British print publications such as Q and The Sunday Times praised the album for its meticulous production and lush soundscape. A handful of albums were released throughout the remainder of the decade, including 2007's The Sky Is Mine.

Come From Heaven

*** Thanx To Denis who corrected my own interpretation ***

Rain

Wendy Stubbs :

I stare, I tear, I creep, sleep
I taste your breath, your lips sweet
I will be there to feel.

Tripping, falling, sailing by
Beyond the wind in the sky
I will be there to free your mind.

It's you I see in slumber
It's you I see in sleep
It's you I see in my dreams
It's you, it's you, it's me.
It's you.

Rolling on the ground with
Sailing on the sea
Tripping in the grass
Oh, to do with you
Oh well, oh well, nevermind
I wouldn't have care.

Dazing, glazing, amazing
Frozen moments
Crazy thing

Another moment to,
Know that you never
Get out of my way
I'm coming through

Wheels splayed out looking for,
Someting new,
I'm crazy guy with the missing hue.

Sometime later

Martin Barnard :

Touch my hand
It's only me, listen
I'm here.

Come to stand
In sultry fields
With you.

And now
Old dummy day
I know
Is over this way.

I'm laughing
Saw you gonna kiss me
You see
Yeah as I said.

One day she won't
A lonely bird
Alone.

Judgement day
Saw the world it's gone
Unheard.

Sold the sea
A lot how it feels to me.

I hate the word it's sad to see
I take your weight
And your heart fades away
Today a renegade
To lay in woods
By the pheasants.

I mean it
You don't
Force on my head
Kill our nightmare.

A lonely bird, a lonely bird
A lonely bird, a lonely bird
A lonely bird, alone.

Colour me
Cover me in the colour that reminds you
Solemnly.

Could make the same mistake
And you would never know
That I am, that I am
Alone, now.

Something, something
Tells me that you
Have something
On, all of us now
You're heaven
Taking over me now
Colour me hate
Raw little nerve
Colour me and pull us
Only home
Me home.

Hold the sun down
Hold the sun down
Hold the moon down
Leave me to rest
Want the world man
Too the words out
Only relief is
To slip through the nets
Hold a minute
And stop a minute
And go, oh oh
Hold a minute
You said to me
Said to me and
Breath, breath, breath, breath, breath ...
You said it to me
Sometime later.


*** Thanx To Denis and Koen and Goreckigirl who corrected my own interpretation ***

Delaney

Sample : Michel Legrand from "Delaney takes a break"

I've never pretending have the truth
Anyhow I should listened to you
I'm very sorry
Is it right now.

Helen white :


Be a friend
Don't learn at my expense
So concerned
Despite your empty words
I care, be there
But  leave me breathing
Don't despair
I know why
I'm so alive

Martin Barnard :

Heads, to say you have it
Tails to say you don't
Lost for words and I think
Time to take you home
Caught you up a ladder
Trying to end it all
Is it any wonder
I believe them all ?

Martin Barnard & Helen white :

You don't see it do you ?
You shouldn't play God
You got something on your mind
Just knock it off
You smile a little more
You stop saying no
You don't seem to be the trying type after all

Martin Barnard :

I break your fall and say
You could have been nothing

Helen white :


Be a friend
Don't learn at my expense
I care, be there but
Leave me breathing
Don't despair
I know why
I'm so alive
To leave me breathing
Don't despair
I know why I' m so alive

Martin Barnard & Helen white :

You don't see it do you ?
You shouldn't play God
You got something on your mind
Just knock it off
You smile a little more
You stop saying no
You don't seem to be the trying type after all

Martin Barnard :

Sight of nothing
Sight of the world
Sight of the
Sight

Helen white :

Be like everyone else
Be like everyone else
Be like everyone else

Martin Barnard :

Do you like, do you like me, let's go away

Helen white :

Be like everyone else ...

Martin Barnard :

Any day now we could leave town,
Down, take a car in London Town, take a London

Slim

Helen White :

Step outside
And feel the warmth
Much stronger than inside

Crazy path
That lead you here
Creates a place to hide.

And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn
There's only one and that is you

And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn
There's only one and that is you

Frightened eyes take in the view
Forgetting how it feels
Look around, believe yourself
The world outside is real

And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn
There's only one and that is you

And I'm scared to be so heartless
I'm hoping that you'll learn
There's only one and that is you

Gave myself to you
No one can deny
I'm still waiting 'til you be
So content to feel
Can't despise myself
I'm still waiting 'til
Leave me break my heart
Can't control the pain
I'm still waiting 'til.

Back

(Opening poem by Sylvia Plath)

But toward the region where
Our thick atmosphere diminishes
And God knows what is there
A point of exclamation marks that sky
In ringing orange
Like a stellar carrot
Its round period displaced in greens
Suspends beside it a first point
The starting point of evil
Against the new moon's curve

Martin Barnard :

So that I see
And know I gave reason
The time to believe
It's all in my head
The sun that I see
Is just an illusion
And I live close to the edge

This time taking time
This sun, sun is high
Sang a tune, sang a tune, sang a tune
Everybody talks to you
Everybody talks to you
Turning like it ought to
Turning like a wise will
Saying like it hasn't
Soul see, soul set
Soul see, soul set

Calling her name
Called in nirvana
Time and again
Alone that I work
Take this and more
And time in together
And why are you close to the edge

They say just to add
The wilder world is a trap
I see just to add you to that
For he was the sun
The comet rushing along
And she, new to that
Turned her back

Does everybody talk to you
Everybody talks to you
Turning like it ought to
Taking it away
( Sample )
Soul see, soul set
Soul see, soul set
Soul see, soul set
Soul see, soul set
( Sample )

Nyquil

( Sample )

Wendy Stubbs :

I defy
You to find a bluer sky
Than a summer in love
With mirth

Happy as Larry
A smile I would carry
One wondrous look
Of surprise

When I danced with you
You even made the sun change hue
Such a pity
We were pretty

When I danced with you
I always felt
As if you knew,
You were scared
Never dared

Hell to play
We showed them anyway
We shall tell you it was time to grow
'Till it was time

( Sample )

To grow

Nobody, ever find the truth in me
Or a paradise moon
In flight

Exotic, uneven
Mid-sentence reeling
A glorious passion
That night

When I danced with you,
You even made the sun change hue
Such a pity

( Sample )

With

Helen White :

Feel me
I'm frightened
We both know
Someone waiting
Feeling my way
Don't be, enjoy
While we can't be

Feel me
I'm frightened
We both know
Don't be, enjoy
While we can't be

Firefly

Martin Barnard :

Who begins a star ?
Who will roll far ?
Took the way I know
Move along now

So sad I lost my memory
The shape of things to come
Circus heart stops inside me
There's just no time.

Halcyon days
Pine the roadways
Got to let you know
And I walk the way the wind blows
Softly in clouds of envy
I see those eyes
Fireflies in time

Don't ask for anything more
There seem no room in my life
Don't ask for anything more
Don't know why

Talk to me
Drag my memory
Across a seashore of sin
Yes I care
I'm trying to say it
I'm getting tired, so look
I'll never
I'll never
Whenever

Hold your hand, hold the light
Indian took another butterfly
Anything cloud nor dirt
Funny bird
Burning words
Travelling
Dreams for me
In time.

Heads down
Words from an indian
Words tinny in tone
Peace signs
Hitching a ride with
Destiny on tow

Anything cloud nor dirt
Funny bird
Burning words
Travelling
Dreams for me
In time.

Heads down
Words from an indian
Words tinny in tone
Peace signs
Hitching a ride with
Destiny on tow

Somewhere not here

Wendy Stubbs :

I remember when you came
I can just recall that day
Unexpected, undetected
If I'd have known I still would have done it.

So little time, so long to wait
A paradise, within your eyes
All the things I could tell you
All the things I could show you.

You're my waking thought
You're the smile on my lips
I dream I see your face
I see and dream of you.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

Somewhere, not here
Somewhere, not here
So, little time
So, little time.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

A thousand miles away
I'd like to fly to you.

I immerse myself
I dream, I see your face
I see, I dream of you
If you were here we'd watch
If you were here we'd see.

You're my waking thought
You're the smile on my lips.

You were safe and warm
I was in your hands
We were moved in time
To another space.

Somewhere, not here
I know you are somewhere, not here
You're my waking thought
You're the smile on my lips
Are you thinking of me
Do I invade your sleep
A paradise, a paradise
Within your eyes.

I remember when you came
I can just recall that day
Somewhere not here
Somewhere not here
Somewhere.

The Impossible Thrill

Still

Could you ever
And ever
Could you
Perceive me
Completely
As I should be

You don't even know me
You don't even care

Why thought that I
Gave me name
Still I lie
Concealing
My mood

You don't even know me
You don't even care

Could you ever
Make her way
Make her stay
With you

Oh can you
Butterfly on my head

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian for this one ***

Eon

Would you mind taking over
I need time
Time's against me
At the moment
And the world is too
But give me
A space
To breathe

It's there for me

Used to feel that I was guided
Gentle hands to spell me on
Open arms
With open eyes
And dreams

Should I shout it down
Or runaway
Stay and fight
Save the day
Tweedle dum or tweedle dee

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Diana for this one ***

Dim

You find out words are the same when you shout
I'm forced out
I'm someone childlike
My first time
Wonder when you'd come
So the mermaid's run 
For now the magic's gone

Falling under the water where i don't belong

Beaneth the mud and mead
There lurks like a dark seed
A memory long gone
A world so chained up
A world so chained up

Could look so down
Live like London
Walls are on your life
Hell's coves don't come, come...
And over is over is over is over is o...
Someone, yeah
Daylight's all, daylight's all

Just tell me if you've ever had
To find out
Words are the same when you shout
A small town
For the rest of your life
My first time
Wonder when you'd come
So the mermaid's run 
For now the magic's gone
So the mermaid's run 
And now the magic's gone

Oh heaven looks so sad
But give us all the time we need
I see no reason to believe
There ain't no sunflower that you won't see
There's only love sounds
Only love beats on
Alone and alone and alone
So we'll hold this
Alone and alone and alone
So we'll hold this
Alone and alone and alone

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Amanda for this one ***

South

This was the one and only
So pure, so pure
You named the stars and told me 
They're all yours, they're all yours

And all at once I saw the sign
The very extreme of lies
And my pain
Smothering
My pain 
Cover it

I can't feel your pain but
I can taste the rain I've laid

I lost my sense of wonder
There's no cure, there's no cure
I'm losing my head
Smothering
My pain 
Cover it

I can't feel no pain
But i can taste the way
It touched my heart bleed

And all at once I saw the sign
The very extreme of lies
It taught me how to cry

Without my strength
I'll handle this
Over and over and I'll
Handle this
Over and over and I
Found way to blame you
Found how to blame you
I can recognize

I've lost so much
I gave so much
I've loved so much

And that's why
You took so much
And you gave so much
It's all yours

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Amanda for this one ***

Almost there

It's really good
That we struggle
Really struggle
That something

Think about it
Take your time
Doesn't matter
Not a crime

Almost there

There I was
Flesh and bone
Only human

Lost from home
Lost from home

Happy ending
Right this way
Take the journey
Round again

Steal another
Glance a kid
Almost there
Round again

Think about it
Take your time
Doesn't matter
Not a crime

Couldn't happen
Not this possible
Take your time

Who could be
Take the journey
Find a way
In a hurry

Who's the fool
Could lose it all
Took a chance
Broke the pact
Lost my way
Then did again
Who could be
Someone like me
Caught my breath
Then died the dead
Who could be
Someone like me

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Amanda for this one ***

Wise

Say it as I dance
Say will you dance
Falling wonderful love
She says that's enough
The plane is a bird
The final wish absurd
To fly on the wings I feel
Can make her so real
Then I'll manage it
One thing of us is done
Burn little fire above it
Underneath it all
There's a modern world
That's all (old?)
Unstoppable

The face talks down to the river
The special world of you
The mind all returns to the river
The same thing said to you

This gun is offed
His thought has gone
Good morning touch her
How time's flow
And all signs of madness
Struck by sadness
Burn in a fire above my
Underneath it all
She complicates the river in us
Says to me
It's time for all things
Just fly


(Is a mirror)

I've end in you
I've envied you
Everywhere I go
Doesn't matter all
Pray your sun sets
And your sun's rays
Say not a look
And bade, wait
The sun, our world
Say was it all
Say was it all
Guess I've needed you, you

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian & Amanda for this one ***

Wishes

It's raining
My mood is grey
I would exchange
Some sunny days

I lost the smile
Lost the knack
Lost my mind

Read my book
Sin paid again
Lost my concentration then

Lost the plot
Lost the track
Lost my mind

Won't come back
Won't be back

It's raining
My mood is grey
I would exchange
Some sunny days

*** Thanx a lot to Amanda for this one ***

Clear sky

So some say somehow
Who was high stays down
I don't think you understand me
I don't see your fault lies
I just wanna talk for now

And though the way I struggle
It grab and take hold of me
Always the one
And always enough to be
The ultrasound strike in the sea
Let me open
That I'll crash sometime
I'm lucky for now

Stir me round
He's spawned a war
So run from him
It's something in his blood
It's all because of a rushing heart
Of course, he's made a plan
His sailor wants clear sky

Droop just now
Has the face of calm
And you're on top of the world
The planet didn't know
That Earth will forever be forgot

Until you dared know
Someone will win to better things
No one told me
I'm glad you're told
I don't strike alot
And say only
Your moment here
Is slowing up

*** Thanx a lot to Amanda for this one ***

Al sation

Anytime now
You will see me
I'm trembling when you smile
And pick me up right off the floor
I hope so

How could you know?
Let me see your eyes
It's been awhile
Should I
Act surprised

How could I come
'Till I'm at your house
Too honest for this

Will you dare light me more than
Sunlight ever could

Anytime now
Pick me up right off the floor
I hope so
I hope so

*** Thanx a lot to Amanda for this one ***

Fort

Here's only so much more
The day is full
To reach
Understanding
And all at once I knew
I fan the truth over to you

Excused
Your flame
Sold us
I look away (?)
There's only so much more
There's only so much more

Hey lonely
Still looking for perfection
Bleed and hold it
Miss the moment

When there's only so much more
Discover it all
All wonders be like you do

Simply comply
With the restlessness I hurt
Takes hold
A touch, a sigh with

Hey, lonely
Still looking for perfection
Bleed and hold it
Miss the moment

There's only so much more
There's only so much more
You'll find in me
Gave everything

Maybe you will
But maybe you won't
The impossible thrill
That lives only once
I rest my case
My weary face
Grey is sad (?)

*** Thanx a lot to Amanda for this one ***

Stargazing

Once round town

It isn't easy having fun
When you're away so long
It's the same face every night
Under the bathroom light
Time to get dressed
And fast
Checking for keys and cash
Close the door
Head for the city
Letting the taxi cab
Find the way
Find your way

And when the evening's underway
Everyone feels ok
Watch my timing with champagne
And blissfully feel no pain
i catch a silhouette
I feel a smile
Like you found the way
Found your way

And time's come into play
You found your way
And time's come into play
Hurry up baby
Hurry up come to me
It's like you found your way
Time's come into play
I thought you found your way
Hurry up baby
Found your way

Lipstick from the asylum

When i can't look
The other way
There's only you
To wonder

And on hard times
A doorway leans on days
As though im needing you
And some have helped me become older
I suggest you're using me
After moving on

I'm really sorry lost time won't wait
You always took so long
I'm leaving now

All your praising me
Turned tides all over mine
Are you erasing me
Lipstick from the asylum goes on
Something that has stolen us
Always some
Something that has stolen us
Always some

I put it on you and me and now
I hate it all you and me

I put it on you and me and now
I hate it all you and me

I put it on you and me and now
I hate it all you and me

I put it on you and me and now
I hate it all you and me


A perfect end

- Sample -

I can't believe you're here
Did you know you found me alone
If i could count the years
I end and you begin

I share your dreams
It's like i see for two people
Did i give up on mine
You could do much better

I can't believe we're here
Or I'll fall much further than this
The terror lies in us
But tells the truth in me

He's overrated
And though it appears to be
I make my home in thee

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
Can I break the mood
If there's nothing left to break
But what of night and day
We never need more
It's such a perfect end
A constant when I dissolve
There's nothing left to hold
I can't believe you're here
I came home with nothing left to hold

*** Thanx a lot to Janna for this one ***

Elvis

Look into the darkness
I'm dancing in the shadows with you
There's a world waiting out there for us to see
...
And beneath the starlit blanket
Dreams are made of solid gold
I just wanna be the one to hold you there
When you're cold

With so many pictures on the walls
Of five billion minds
We just need to take them out sometime
Y'know and start living the good times
...
Decent dreams and pictures make you airborne
When you close your eyes

That's why I wanna fly with you tonight
No one else, no one else can make the flight like you
So I wanna fly with you tonight
And no one there, oh lord oh lord

I'm obviously indebted to you
By the way that you make me feel
Those ice cold warm heart
Is always gonna be able to turn a dream to real
I say
I'm touching all horizons with you
I got my sights on solid gold
I feel superhuman baby
Y'know like the way the marvel make man feel in their shows
Now check out what my mind say
Check out what my words say
Check out all my actions
I just want your satisfaction

You know cause I wanna fly with you tonight
Oh no one else, no one else can make the flight like you
So I wanna fly, oh, with you tonight
And make dreams, make a dream a real life
I can oh

You got to take my hand lady
Oh yeah
Then you'll understand what I'm saying
And you know we gonna find the ideal destination
I say I say
I, I wanna fly with you tonight

*** Thanx a lot to Remi who corrected this one ***

Saturn in rain

Anyone now
Under the mellow tree
Saturn in rain
Sick of a woman me
Anyone now
All the one taste
Out in the desert
Out in the sea for me

And now
I mean it
Over there the grains get in it
And who are you to think the ride
It would be easy, oh?

Anyone

Used to say
Understanding you
To set the day
I'll kill time for two
But walking to the moon ain't cool when it's you
I can tell we were sadder happy every hour

Listen in vain
You're so lost why
Move along please
I've got my charmed life
Oh i'm not in the way you say i am
Just talking because i'm lost today
All need caring all reasons staring
You're the ether reborn
And wander round the rest of your life


Waiting

Make me hopeless baby
Move the light and shade me
Take my sight and blind me
Leave a taste to remind me

The clouds openly like raining for you
So have and hold me
A moment told me
I need always with you

Make me hopeless baby
Coloured skies are fading
Only silence surrounds me
Need you're touch to refine me

And i openly like waiting for you
To have and hold me
A moment told me
I need always with you

Silver light

Late summer night
Painted purple
Storms from the right
Words that hurtle
Lips curl to fight
Eyes are startled
Blood from the bite
Seems to sparkle

Now is the time
It's too late to fly
Hurting just to hurt
No silver light to brighten
Clouds in our sight

Now is the time
It's too late to fly
I must try to stop this downpour and clear the skies

I just wanna make you

Say boy
Say girl
You got it all
Believe me
Want it all
Want it so bad
What makes you think
You can have it all

Say boy
Say girl
You got it all
Believe me

I just wanna, I just wanna make you
I just wanna, I just wanna make you

Say boy
Say girl
You got it all
Believe me
Want it all
Want it so bad
What makes you think
You can have it all

I just wanna, I just wanna make you
I just wanna, I just wanna make you

Say boy

Vers toi

( French vocal )

Quand maman vient me réveiller
Et que tout le monde est levé

Quand maman vient me réveiller
Et que tout le monde est levé

Vers toi Seigneur
J'attends le Seigneur X8

Dans ta maison je suis entré
Il y fait bon pour te parler
Toutes les voix de la journée
Je les prends pour te les donner

Vers toi Seigneur
J'attends le Seigneur...

Double view

No you can't change my mind
Let's go ahead and catch the tide

It's out now
Don't doubt that I'll apply
I paid up
I'm ready to ride

Wonderful views from here
We're breathing
We're breathing
We're breathing

Blue autumn

It happens when you're gone
The place you lay still warm
Then i close every single door
But barely can i wait

Blue autumn let me down
Leave me scattered on the ground
And decide
Won't you fly away from me

It's over when it's gone
But barely can i demand
My feelings ever mean a thing
If i beg you what would i be

Blue winter let me down
Leave me frozen on the ground
And decide
Won't you fly away from me

Blue summer bring me round
Bathe in circles from the sun
To decide
Don't you fly away from me

Portable living room

Oh said you'd rule
Does he say when he's got to be something in your flame
Does love go with you and your flying scene
Oh don't go will you
I suddenly fly
Under the room where the love goes by

Said you'd rule
Do eyes go black and suit you
Do others run when you become
A portable living room
Oh don't go will you
I suddenly fly
Under the room where the love goes by

Heal on high,
My sigh,
Heal on high

You flee your home you're one hundred and three
Bless this world bless man for me
You've finally gone touched your home
When your love is mine

When your love is mine
On summers sometimes
You just hate your hell
But i don't know what's worth your love
Only on times
Take me to the movies oh nothing groovy on
There is a room

MADE IN SPACE

Roy

What do you roughly imagine it will happen tonight
I'm totally clueless
I don't even know the schedule of events
I don't know what to expect at all

Drift your mind into believing deeply
Want it through the phenomena to occur

Drift your mind into believing deeply
Want it through the phenomena to occur

Drift your mind into believing deeply
Want it through the phenomena to occur

Sunday

Each time, each time...
Each time you see her...

I'd do extraordinary things for you
You, you seem to stir up my imagination
It's very kind what you have done
I could do anything for you, lady
??? nothing

Miracles dropping off the ends of your hands before you hardly know it
Now, Mr. George, we wouldn't bother you again
Don't make no end of trouble

You're just pretending

The Things You Might

Burn my eyes, if you like
But don't burn my prize

There isn't a woman in the world who wouldn't love to ever meet
Who could work miracles for her
It isn't me that takes it seriously, it's the law

Go to blazes, go to blazes, go to blazes

And I'm gonna miss you, baby
And those kids, gee, I'm gonna miss them, too
Well, we almost had a father
Yeah, let's go back to bed

Good night

Dug Up On The Moon

Mystery about what has been going on up there
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean
Well, it is just that for the past two weeks
Some extremely odd things have been happening in Venus
Oh really
Yes, oh yes
Well, for one thing, whenever you phone the base, all you can get is a recording which repeats that the phone lines are temporarily out of order

Certainly no one could have been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left
Rumours about something being dug up on the moon
I never gave these stories much credence
But particularly in view of some of the other things that have happened
I find them difficult to put out of my mind

Certainly no one could have been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left
Rumours about something being dug up on the moon
I never gave these stories much credence

Computer is in error predicting the fault
I say again, in error predicting the fault
I notice that

Certainly no one could have been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left

But particularly in view of some of the other things that have happened

Twin Towns

But at that moment, when the train goes into a tunnel

Hello
Phyllis, listen, I've got big news for you
Your brother's made me head of the investment department Phyllis, did you hear me
I heard you

Hello
Phyllis, listen, I've got big news for you
Your brother's made me head of the investment department Phyllis, did you hear me
I heard you

You would think that we ought to have been very happy
And we were, but we did not know how happy
Until the pretty life at Edgecombe Villa was over and done with And we had to live a very different life indeed
The dreadful change came quite suddenly

You would think that we ought to have been very happy
And we were
Indeed, a dreadful change came quite suddenly

I don't suppose they ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to the zoo, no

Phyllis, listen, I've got big news for you
Your brother's made me head of the investment department Phyllis, did you hear me
I heard you

Well, hello there
??? I'll buy you a drink

Looks like it's going to be one of our best parties
I hope so
I, I didn't know it was a party

Flux

It's a weird taste
Whatever it is, it's got a funny smell, too
Yeah, like a, not a treacle
I've got a funny smell up my nose
Sorry to seem to be going through back and forth
But there was an autopsy on his body
And I don't even know what he died of
I only know that there was a lot of fluid in his body
But there was also something

One of the engineers was here tonight, whose name I do not know
Stuart
Stuart
Hello, I'm Stuart
Hi, Stuart
You, I suppose, must be as independent an observer as anyone tonight
Yes
Because you're on the technical side of things
How have you seen things so far

Silver Golf, you see
For instance, she didn't know about it, obviously, which
I mean, there were certain things, obviously, which were

Yes
It was mentioned
That's right, that's right

I'd like to ask what kind of magazines did Elvis read
I don't know that he read that many magazines, quite frankly
I don't think he read a great deal at all

La naissance est souffrance
La vieillesse est souffrance
La mort est souffrance
Les lamentations, la douleur, la peine, le désespoir sont souffrances

La conscience est transitoire

Surely

Surely you know what i've been dying to say
God knows it's hard
When you're not here i can pour out my heart
The words just come
But timing isn't my best point
I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out
I keep the lump in my throat
For crying out loud
What's the worst that can happen
Maybe i'll die
Maybe my life will begin
But sometimes even the best lines are misconstrued
At times i'm eloquent
Though not in front of you
I could keep it so quiet
Never tell you my secret
Living a lie
I yell inside
Timing isn't my best point
I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out
Kept the lump in my throat
For crying out loud
What's the worst that can happen
Maybe i'll die
Maybe my life starts here
Surely you know what i've been dying to say

Brood

I understand you don't need to hold my hand
I realise that you have yourself to guide
I sympathise
And bless the day i gave your life to you
And gave you sense and memories
My job is done
I saw you through to where you begin to fly
Fly, you can fly
The years and the fears were empty long ago
Now my winter's wait has come
I sympathise

Push

Take hold of my doubts and crush them
Then give me a reason why
Insecurity gets the best of me
Leaves me lying there slowly losing air
Sure they're not out to get me
They only pretend they are
Fooling nobody, least not all of me
Old friends of mine lost over time
No more room, my head's full of them
Say the word so it goes again
Push me through
How hard can it be to stop it
I leave myself open wide
Rationality takes a swing at me
Leads me from despair
Oh to feel aware
No more words, can't hear what you say
Stay out there i'm too tired to play
Pull me through

Burn me again

Burn me again
Turn me round and you can burn me again
Learn in the end
Say it slowly so i'll learn in the end
Bury the pain
Hurt me softly and then bury the pain
Soften the rain
Feel this storm inside me soften the rain
Nurture me with hope
Help me grow from your seed
Feed me with your strength
Fill me up with your need
Heaven and hell
Keep me safe between this heaven and hell
Know me too well
You've hardly touched me yet you know me too well
Treat me with a kiss
Heal this aching inside
All the years i've lived yet you bring me to life, to life
Burn me again
Turn me round and you can burn me again
Soften the rain
Feel this storm inside me soften the rain
Burn me again
Burn me again

May

Looking at you talking to me
You're sitting right across the table
You may take my hand in your hands
You may take me home tonight
Drinking with you, sinking in you
I'm swaying through the conversation
You may ask what makes me happy
You may ask for one more dance
Looking at you looking at me
You may want to leave without me
Drinking slower, sinking faster
Your mouth is leaning in towards me
I can't breathe without you
But i can breathe just with you
You may want to leave without me
You may take me home tonight
You may want to leave without me

Given time

Given time, i'll be fine
Hold your breath
No, i'll hold mine
Stay around, stay with me
Soon you'll see, i'll be fine
Just a day's too soon to say
I'll come round when least expected
Find my way
Hold my hand
Understand
I'll be fine, given time
Hard to say, to give away
Pour your heart into my head again today
Help me down, help me out
Given time, i'll be fine

For the wages

It's late and it's loud, got to get away
I'm scared, i'm not proud, of every day
I'm colouring in empty pages
Just giving my time for the wages
I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry
It was always, always going to be goodbye
I didn't think twice when you kissed me, once
Immune to advice, hearing foreign tongues
You lifted my life from the madness
A sweet golden light out of sadness
I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry
'Cause it was always, always going to be goodbye
You're not aloud to see
You had the best of me
It doesn't matter now
I didn't give a damn
'Cause life is all a sham
I'm always wrong somehow
I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry
It was always, always going to be goodbye
I don't want to, want you ever to see me cry
It was always, always going to be goodbye

Home

Inside i knew the passing of time would lead to you
Impossible, yet tangible, an ancient dream comes true
Happy since confessing your affect on me
You are my song, you're my appetite
You lift me higher than any satellite
And i'm just still astounded
I didn't know there was perfection
I tried to lose the quest for home
Then i found you
Anyhow, i broke the spell
Was swept away on the swell
Sail for home
Inside i knew
Home is you

Stumbled

I can't change what i've done
It's luck, it's fate
I just don't go there
Took me since i was young
Accept, embrace, i'm on my way here
Over and over and over i stumbled
Following paths that were heavy with dreams
Over and over i'm humbled
These are the paths that have led me right here
I don't have regrets
It's all made me me
I'm placing my bets on having you hear
I'm home, my love, home
I can't change what i've done
It's luck, it's fate
I just don't go there
Took me since i was young; accept, embrace
I'm on my way here
Over and over and over i stumbled
Following paths that were heavy with dreams
Over and over and over i'm humbled
These are the paths that have led me right here
But i don't have regrets, it's all made me me
I'm placing my bets on just having you near
I don't have regrets, oh no

Silver bullet

Was that smile meant for me
Are my eyes too tired to see
Terrified and paralysed
Mesmerised and hypnotised
Why do you have to sit so near
What's this ringing in my ears
Knowingly and willingly
Silently and tenderly
How can i eat when my mouth screams to touch you
Tortured in sleep, dreams content to explore you
Were you only being kind, when i brushed your lips with mine
Longing now to touch your skin, ashamed of my imagining
Circling around, senses only betray me
Heady as wine, eyes that intoxicate me
I suppose it's just the situation
Too confined to my imagination
But… somewhere
Was that smile meant for me
Are my eyes too tired
Terrified and paralysed
Mesmerised and hypnotised

A little poison

A little poison numbs the senses
Slows the flow – slow the flow
Nothing simpler
See it's easy
Bring it on
Bring it on
I'll show you all
I'll prove you wrong, in a while
It's peculiar
Doesn't hurt me anymore, anymore
And I'll show you all
I'll prove you wrong
In a while, in a while
Watch me fly
Heights don't scare me
The sky is mine
You won't stop me
A little poison numbs the senses
Send them in, send them in
Yes I'll show you all
And prove you wrong
In a while, in a while
Watch me fly
Heights don't scare me
The sky is mine
You won't stop me
As i show you all
And prove you wrong
In a while, in a while

 

ARIEL

Because Of You

How many times I've suffered for my heart
How many times you've gone and said it's my fault
When it's all because of you

How many times the sun gonna shine in this life
How many times you think, oh no, you'll being right
??? on my side, oh so they say
I'll only believe it when things go my way

How many times must this man fall down
How many times can I feel you now
How many times must I catch my breath
How many times must this man get left
When it's all because of you

I do what I do
I do what I do
I do what I do
Yeah, yeah

I'm feeling sad, sad
I'm feeling lonely, yeah
Why can't you be a little bit closer
I'm feeling sad, yeah
I'm feeling lonely, yeah
I gotta have you
I need you, I want
'Cause it's all because of you

I do what I do
I said it's all because of you
I do what I do
Yes, I do
I feel it too
Can't you feel it too

Got My Friends

If you want me, I'll be there
If the sun falls, I'll be there
If you call me, I'll be here
Hear the rainfalls, I'll be there

Got my friends, I got my sins
Got a feeling that I got it all
But it's so damn tense
'Cause all the trouble
And all the pain
Got me feeling not beautiful
???

And hesitation tests my patience
It breaks my back and it hurts my heart
When the time's a-wasting
'Cause all the trouble cause the pain
It cause a feeling that you cannot hide
And who's to blame

But if you want me, I'll be waiting
If you call me, I'll be here
Said, if you want me, I'll be waiting
If you call me, I'll be here
I'll be here

Where's the vision
And where's the laughter
Where are the times that we should've made
That we said we're after
'Cause I'm in trouble
And I'm in pain
When I feel like I lose it all
I want to say

But if you want me, I'll be waiting
If you call me, I'll be here
Said, if you want me, I'll be waiting
If you call me, I'll be here
You know, if you want me, I'll be waiting
If you call me, I'll be here
You know, I'll be here
When you want me, I'll be here
If I said it, I'll be here

Three Thousand

The painted picture on the wall
Says it all about the way we rise and fall
And it's easier sometimes
Harder when you come
I can see you're holding on

You need to stop that
You need to drop that
Because how can I breathe when you hold on
And you say, "How can I breathe now we're gone"
Tell me, just tell me, you got to tell me
How can I breathe when you hold on
You need to learn to breathe now we're gone, no

When I look into the frame I see we've made
Such sweet, sweet, sweet memories
All dressed in high serenade, yeah
Making up my mind for drama
'Cause we turned all the love to rust

And while we should be making headway
You're always trying to turn to us
While we're trying to make headway
You're always trying to do what you tell me
Why can I breathe when you hold on
And you say, "How can I breathe now we're gone"
You gotta tell me how can I breathe when you hold on
You need to learn to breathe now we're gone, no, no
No, no, yeah

One big stone does a roll down a road
Two big stone does a roll in a room
Three big stone does a mash up in a room
And it'll go past off and through
Have Babylon under full control
Rasta will never ever lose them soul
Burn them silver and we burn them gold
Burn them iron, we burn them gold

Them are believers
Some are deceivers
Them are converted
Yes, converted
But Rasta know
Yeah, Rasta know
Oh Rasta know
Yeah, Rasta know

Well, we say

Can't Do That

I was born in Kingston Town
And brought up in Almond Town
And the Jewell Stone
As a little youth, man
I remember when I used to walk
Go down at Drainage Pond
I remember when I used to walk
Go down at Lizard Town
I remember when I used to walk
Go up at Ackee Walk
Them days were so nice
Although we used to have a little fuss and fight
We coulda go a dance, a dance all night
With my girl and no worry about fight

Can't do that again
Me 'fraid, me 'fraid, me 'fraid
Me say we can't do that again
Not the freedom, not them, both again

I remember when we used to go
Ambassador Theatre
I remember when we used to go
Ambassador Theatre
I remember when we used to go
Queen's Theatre
Anywhere trip around, there we woulda go
East, west, north and south

Can't do that again
Me 'fraid, me 'fraid, me 'fraid
Me say we can't do that again
Not the freedom, not them, both again

I remember when we used to go
Hot and cold, go have a swim
I remember when we used to go
??? go catch fish
We woulda walk up Bolton Street
Go on the ???
Them days were so sweet

Can't do that again
Me 'fraid, me 'fraid, me 'fraid
Me say we can't do that again
Not the days, not them, both again

Them, them days were so nice

So unfair, so unfair

When you work so hard
And a man put a gun to your head
Take away all your pain
And gonna enjoy himself
While your children are crying
They will get their day

They shall be smiling with many strikes
They shall be like the house on the sinking sand
They shall be like the shelf that we blow it away
So unfair, so unfair

So inferior, so unfair

Jah Jah know it's so unfair...

Eleventh Trip

In This

Hannah Collins:

I need a break
Can anybody take this weight from me
From me
I need a break
Can anyone take this fear out of me
Out of me

In this silence
In this shadow

My body aches
Can anybody wake me up
Me up
Me up

No mistake
Just a little twist of fate
Will lift me up

In this silence
In this shadow

Where do I go
Is there anyone I know
I know
I know
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
'Cause I'm here alone
Will anybody lead me home
Me home
Me home

In this shadow
There's an empty space
That I don't want to waste
Next to me
Next to me

But there's a phrase
That everything's in its place
I'll let it be
It be

In this silence
In this shadow

But if you come my way
Carry me with you
The flame I crave
Is the light of you

But if you come my way
Carry me with you
The flame I crave
Is the light of you

If the sky's grey
Could you make it blue
And if a storm raged
Could you make the sun shine

But if you come my way
Carry me with you
'Cause the flame I crave
Is the light of you

If the sky's grey
Could you make it blue

Stay

You don't stay anymore
Since you left the first home and ran
You wont stay anymore
Looking where its safe, warmer

That don't bother me at all
That don't bother me at all
That don't bother me at all
That don't bother me at all

You won't say that im wrong
Book yourself a plane and run
You just plough in your face
All the bruises left are numb

So I won't bother you at all
I won't bother you at all

You lie
And stay low
You lie
And stay low

You won't say that im wrong
Book yourself a plane and run
You just plough in your face
All the bruises left are numb

So I won't bother you at all
I won't bother you at all

You lie
And stay low
You lie
And stay low

You won't say that im wrong
Book yourself a plane and run
You just plough in your face
All the bruises left are numb
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
So I wont bother you at all
I won't bother you

So I wont bother you at all
I won't bother you

You lie
And stay low
You lie
And stay low

You lie
And stay low
You lie
And stay low

*** Thanx a lot to Filipe for this one ***

Cilla

Hannah Collins:

When you can learn to be still
When all your thoughts you watch from a distance
When you can feel you belong
Without a thing but the air you breathe

When you can look with kindness
Upon yourself and everyone you see
When you feel so in love
Without a thing but the air that you breathe
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
When you can learn to be still
When all your thoughts you watch from a distance
When you feel you belong
Without a thing but the air that you breathe

Of value associated with any of the art? Yes.
Would you ever have been seen on television? Yes.
Are you a performer? Yes.
Would you be considered a leading man? Yes.
[Salvador Dalí on "What's My Line?"]

When you can learn to be still
When all your thoughts you watch from a distance
When you can feel you belong
Without a thing but the air you breathe

When you can look with kindness
Upon yourself and everyone you see
When you feel so in love
Without a thing but the air that you breathe

You'll know
This is where you want to be
You'll know
You're eternity
You'll know
A true harmony
You'll know
There's nothing you need

You'll know
This is where you want to be
You'll know
You're eternity
You'll know
A true harmony
You'll know
There's nothing you need

Sunedune

Wendy Stubbs:

Sliding feet through shifting sand
You picked me up and held my hand
Warm sand dune at sundown

Sheltered from wind and the eyes of the world
You lay me down while I unfurled
Warm sand dune at sundown
Sand dune at sundown

If I had my life again
Then I'd stay with you
Your heart is a star that lights my world
But distance is cruel

Summer cooled and so did I
I left the beach and joined the sky
Sundown

Now I've come back wishing I'd never gone
I see our ghosts and I hear your song
Warm sand dune at sundown
Sand dune at sundown
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If I had my life again
Then I'd stay with you
Your heart is a star that lights my world
But distance is cruel

If I had my life again
Then I'd stay with you
Your heart is a star that lights my world
But distance is cruel

Summertime was our time
When we'd keep out of reach
Laughing eyes in glowing skies
We'd rush across the beach

Covers Been Blown

Hannah Collins:

Now this web is spun
And the papers signed and sealed
Now this deal is done
All will be revealed

Now that we are here
And this moment is our own
Everything is clear
Covers been blown

Broken glass
Beneath my feet
If I could run
I may just reach you

My heart is bound
In rusty chains
When the bubble bursts
I can hear your name

Now the clouds have moved on
Our eyes are open wide
The mask we have worn
Leaves us nowhere else to hide
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
The story is complete
Every single word's been told
What is it you seek
The answer you hold

Broken glass
Beneath my feet
If I could run
I may just reach you

My heart is bound
In rusty chains
When the bubble bursts
I can hear your name

Broken glass
Beneath my feet
Now I can run
I feel that you are near

My heart was bound
In rusty chains
Now the bubbles burst
Nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same

Don't Stop It's War

Once upon a time, in the land of Hush-A-Bye
Around about the wondrous days of yore
They came across a sort of box
Bound up with chains and locked with locks
And labeled "Kindly do not touch; it's war"
A decree was issued round about, and all with a flourish and a shout
And a gaily colored mascot tripping lightly on before
Don't fiddle with this deadly box or break the chains or pick the locks
And please don't ever play about with war
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Well, the children understood. Children happen to be good
And they were just as good around the time of yore
They didn't try to pick the locks or break into that deadly box
They never tried to play about with war
Mommies didn't either; sisters, aunts, grannies neither
'Cause they were quiet, and sweet, and pretty
In those wondrous days of yore

Well, very much the same as now
And not the ones to blame somehow
For opening up that deadly box of war
But someone did. Someone battered in the lid
And spilled the insides out across the floor
A sort of bouncy, bumpy ball made up of guns and flags
And all the tears, and horror, and death that goes with war
It bounced right out and went bashing all about
Bumping into everything in store. And what was sad and most unfair
Was that it didn't really seem to care
Much who it bumped or why or what or for
["The Box", poem by Lascelles Abercrombie]

Don't stop walking now
For you have come so far on your own
Don't stop when you know not
Where you're headed to
Though you have come so far on your own
And you will go on...

Don't fiddle with this deadly box or break the chains or pick the locks
And please don't ever play about with war

Don't stop walking now
For you have come so far on your own
Don't stop when you know not
Where you're headed to
Though you have come so far on your own

Scream Louder

But perhaps I deserve some of the blame
That I should've spent more time with you this week
Believe me, I understand that Paris has a certain allure
A way of making you want to be spontaneous

Tonight
Oh take all the blame
And feel the light inside my brain
You flounder
Drop on the floor
And you feel lost
You better hope that you stay now
You scream out louder
Be free and over

Sunlight
The cloud and the pain
Unfreeze the price
Of crashing again
The flowers that were dumped down the drain
Your teeth fall out
You're better on where it's safe
Go where you scream louder

Lisbon

Wendy Stubbs:

We fell in love in Lisbon
Paris, delicious in rain
I never knew I'd never fall again

Loving you is so easy
I've done it for quite some time
As habits go this one is just sublime

We fell in love in Lisbon
Paris, delicious in rain
I never knew I'd never fall again
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Loving you is so easy
I've done it for some time
As habits go this one is so sublime

So sublime
So sublime
So sublime
So sublime
So sublime

Down

Refrain, hold on out
He failed to follow me down

You can't deny
You're losing out
You fight the last man standing down
We're holding out
We're closing in
We're holding out, out

He failed to follow me down
He failed to follow me down

You can't deny
You're losing out
You fight the last man standing down
We're holding out
We're closing in
We're holding out, out

He failed to follow me down
He failed to follow me down
He failed to follow me down
He failed to follow me down

Home Land

Hannah Collins:

You are my homeland
You are my light

My heart sings your name
Walk with me through darkness
Run with me through rain
I will love you until I lie beneath the flowers
Hold you until I go back to the stars
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You are my homeland
You are my light
My light
My homeland

LOVING NOBODY

Empty Minds

Jamie Gingell:

Empty mind, empty hopes
Taking you by the throat
Empty mind, empty ropes
Swinging high in abandoned hopes

Empty mind, empty hopes
Taking you by the throat
Empty mind, empty ropes
Swinging high in abandoned hopes

Empty mind, empty ropes
Swinging high in abandoned hopes

Be Here With Me

Hannah Collins:

Time just fades away
This moment is ours
Be just here
Be tender near (?)
That's the way
Be here with me

Time just fades away
This moment is ours to own
Just be here
Be here now
Be here now

24 Hours In Paris

Jesse D. Vernon & Kate Stables:

Four minutes to go
Still no sunrise
A never-ending river
Lifts itself up with ease
Finding our beds
My watch stops
To the bones of somewhere not
To the bones of somewhere not
To the bones of somewhere not

(For that moment was almost impossible)

The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves
The full round moon and the star-laden sky
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves
["The Sorrow Of Love" by W. B. Yeats]

For that moment was
(Do they notice a stranger passing in this yellow plastic cape)
For that moment was
(Do they notice a stranger passing in this yellow plastic cape)
For that moment was
Always impossible
(Four steps to go)
(And still no sunrise)
Always impossible
Do they notice
(A never-ending river)
Do they notice
(Lifts itself up with ease)
The stranger pass
(Lifts itself up with ease)
The stranger pass
In this yellow plastic cape
In this yellow plastic cape
Four less steps to go
Four less steps to go
And I close my door
And I close my door

And then you came with those red mournful lips
And with you came the whole of the world's tears
And all the sorrows of her labouring ships

Four minutes to go
(A never-ending river)
Still no sunrise
(Lifts itself up with ease)
Four minutes to go
(Four steps to go)
(Still no sunrise)
Still no sunrise
A never-ending river
(A never-ending river)
A never-ending river
A never-ending river
(A never-ending river)
Lifts itself up
Lifts itself up with ease
Up with ease

My heart stops to the thumbs of somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere not here
Finding our beds
Finding our beds
For just one hour
For just one hour
My watch stops
To the bones of somewhere not
My watch stops
To the bones of somewhere not
My watch stops
To the bones of somewhere not
My watch stops
To the bones of somewhere not
Here, here, here
(And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves)
(Had hid away earth's old and weary cry)
For that moment was always, is possible
For that moment was always, is possible
Do they notice a stranger
Do they notice a stranger
Do they notice a stranger pass
A stranger pass in this yellow plastic cape
Four steps to go
Four steps to go
Four steps to go
And I close my door
And I close my door
And I close my door
And I close my door

World Run Down

If you could see the ocean
For it is long gone
To see the world run down
Would surely make you cry

I'd like to tell you about the waves
And if the world run down
You'd be around
To tell my story about the waves

The world will fade away one day
You say
The world will fade away one day

If you could see the ocean
For it is long gone
I'd like to tell you about the waves
And if the world run down
You'd be around
To tell my story about the waves

The world will fade away one day
You say
The world will fade away one day
The world will fade away one day
You say
The world will fade away

Out Of Sight

Joe Cassidy:

Your silence
Your silence is deadly
You keep it out of sight
None of this is right
Because of your silence
Your silence that haunts me
It tears me up inside
Won't make it out alive

The timing's wrong
The feeling steams
You know it's always a nightmare
What could go wrong
Has all been done
But I try to answer
Look at where we ended up
We won't make it through the year
Because of your silence

Silence
Silence

Electric Hands

Hannah Collins:

Can't disguise the butterflies in me
Electric hands
Holding me in a place where only you have the key
Electric hands
Release me
Release me

Can't disguise the butterflies in me
Electric hands
Holding me in a place where only you have the key
Electric hands
Release me
Release me

Can't disguise the butterflies in your eyes
Electric hands
Release me

Hold me...

Loving Nobody

Jamie Gingell:

Loving nobody
Nobody but you
And there's nothing
There's nothing I can do

Loving nobody
Nobody but you
And there's nothing
There's nothing I can do
To stop it
To stop seeing you

Loving nobody
Nobody but you
And there's nothing

Without Walls

Jesse D. Vernon & Kate Stables:

In the fifth month
Of our climb up
I stopped as I always do
To gaze down on
On the valley
And up to the stars
The lights of the villages below

In my tent a fire burns
To the sounds in the forest
And the mountain beyond

In the forest
And to the mountain beyond
We live together

In my tent a fire burns
To the sounds in the forest
And the mountain beyond
Without walls
We live together

I stopped as I always do
To gaze down on
To gaze down on
On the valley
And up to the stars

In the forest
And to the mountain beyond
We live together

(The stars)
In the fifth month
(We live together)
Of our climb up
(The stars)
I stopped as I always do
(The stars)
And the mountain beyond
To the sounds in the forest
Without walls
We live together

In a circle we go
In the fifth month
Of our climb up
I stopped as I always do

Starlight

Hannah Collins:

Like a day
Like a day
Like a day
Like a day

Sifting through the faded memories of days gone by
As I rearrange the pictures into frames I like

I wonder why
Is it all placed perfectly in time
Is it alive
Are we all made of starlight

Sifting through the faded memories of days gone by
As I rearrange the pictures into frames I like

I wonder why
Is it all placed perfectly in time
Is it alive
Are we all made of starlight

Sifting through the faded memories of days gone by
As I rearrange the pictures into frames I like

I wonder why
Is it all placed perfectly in time
Is it alive
Are we all made of starlight

Starlight...
Like a day...

Hold Your Breath

Jesse D. Vernon & Kate Stables:

It's a very simple dance

Shut your eyes
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Happens next

It's a very simple dance

Shut your eyes
Hold your breath

Shut your eyes
Hold your breath
Make a wish

Shut your eyes
Make a wish

Hold your breath
Happens next
Shut your eyes

Shut your eyes
Hold your breath

Shut your eyes
Hold your breath

Run From The Rain

Hannah Collins:

Stand back for a while
Wait on me
Silence, medicine
For when you're broken

Take a break
Don't let it break your heart
Silence is the glue
That fix you when you fall apart

Stand back for a while
Wait on me
Silence, medicine
For when you're broken

Take a break
Don't let it break your heart
Silence is the glue
That fix you when you fall apart

Stand back for a while
Wait on me
Silence, medicine
For when you're broken

Stand back for a while
Wait on me
Silence, medicine
For when you're broken

Say You Don't Want Me

Jamie Gingell:

Say you don't love me
Say you don't care
Say you don't want me
Want me to be there
But I won't believe you
When you cannot say
Those words, those whispers
To me today

Say you don't love me
Say you don't care
Say you don't want me
Want me to be there
But I won't believe you
When you cannot say
Those words, those whispers
To me today

Say you don't love me
Say you don't care
Say you don't want me
Want me to be there

To The Moon

Wendy Stubbs:

How do you know what to say
But I say it anyway
Then I leave with some excuse
I'm going to the moon

While I'm gone, the world goes on
I'm a total stranger
When you're back, I'll grab your hand
We're going to the moon

To the moon
To the moon

How do you know what to say
But I say it anyway
Then I leave with some excuse
I'm going to the moon

While I'm gone, the world goes on
I'm a total stranger
When you're back, I'll grab your hand
We're going to the moon

To the moon
To the moon

Left Behind

Hannah Collins:

Then you left me behind
Then you left me
I stand here alone
Left behind
Left behind
I stand here alone
Left behind
Left behind

You
You're Teddy's mother
Stuck in a job you'll be in all your life
Why don't you get out
What's keeping you there anyway
Marrying Blakeslee
I thought you'd marry him
Remember
Remember what you said that day in the car
Her car, of course
Can't you see it's impossible, Ted
It's not just money

Left behind
Left behind
Left behind
Left behind

Failure

We Could Carry On

Merritt Lear:

We could carry on
And leave it all behind
Rise, fall, burn it all
We'll pay it back in kind

And we can cry her name
But she'll never be, never be bold
We'll trip the wires in pain
But we'd never be, never be cold
So lead the way

We could carry on
And leave it all behind

We'll find the first of its kind
And keep the animals at bay
One call could open it all
In a fit of come what may

And we can cry her name
But she'll never be, never be bold
So lead the way
So lead the way
So lead the way

Separated Sadness

Michael Hix:

Packaged people
In your lanes
Following imaginary pathways
Steps of pain

Prescribed roles
Separated sadness
Lives of isolation
Packaged in madness

When packaged people
Fear no more
Looking to the other
Open the door

Look more deeply
Break down the walls
See the other
Fear all for
Fear your love
Your love for all
Fear your love
Your love for all
Looking to the other

Fear-based walls of color
Containers of class
Divisions of culture
Will shatter like glass

When packaged people
Fear all for
Fear your love
Your love for all
Fear your love
Your love for all
Looking into other

Fear no more
Looking into other
Open, open the door
Look what they did

Subliminal Bliss

Jakeoat:

As the mist engulfs me
A part of my being lost in subliminal bliss

Nobody knows but it's been long
To a distant place, I now belong
Clearly I can see at last

It's not hard to find
But it takes one to define
Drifting and unconfined
My thoughts, like waves they rise

Nobody knows but it’s been long
To a distant place, I now belong
Clearly I can see at last

Such a world beyond me
I wish I was real

Older Now

 Sean O'Neil:

And she's walking across the sky
And now he's lying down
In the darkness waiting for his light
To hold her in her arms
And lie amongst the leaves
Till she leaves him in his dreams
And runs into the tide
That washes over her mind

(Isn't he older now)
And leaving them blind
(Isn't he older now)
He's older now
Isn't he older now
Isn't he older now

And she's walking across the sky
She lies ???
And they hold each other tight
Entwined like snowflakes
Resting in a moment of eternity
Then they are gone

Isn't he older now...

And she's walking across the sky
She lies ???
And they hold each other tight
Entwined like snowflakes

Isn't he older now
Isn't he older now

Sleeper Dreamer

Yinshyen:

Dreamer, sleeper, deeper
If it's only 'cause of you
That I sleep in till noon
Lines of white dunes
We live the night through

Deeper, sleeper, Corinna
Deeper, sleeper, dreamer

The failing of our dream
I lost more that just you
Like the way I used to be
And Alpha

Dreamer, sleeper, deeper
If it's only 'cause of you
That I sleep in till noon
Lines of white dunes
We live the night through

Deeper, sleeper, Corinna
Deeper, sleeper, dreamer

The failing of our dream
I lost more that just you
Like the way I used to be
And Alpha

If You Find Yourself At Sea

Merritt Lear:

Undo me
Unsteady
I'm pulling deep
Oh man, these waves
They're heavy

I've moved everywhere you've gone
Every edge we're turning on
I just came to try and keep
Forgetting

All the walls are coming down
But these hearts won't come around
And there's no more here to be
Heading

I'm falling through
I'm falling through
But if you find yourself at sea
That's where I'll be
I'll be
I'll be

And if you find yourself at sea
That's where I'll be

All the walls are coming down
But these hearts won't come around
And there's no more here to be

I'm falling through
I'm falling through
But if you find yourself at sea
That's where I'll be
I'll be
I'll be

Leon Tone

Jakeoat:

If you take a walk to the river bank
You'll find me still and waiting
And even if I could turn back time
Oh I'd choose to be the same guy
Who sits and wonders why
Ponders over God's design

Oh my
Oh how moments just fly by

When you chase a dream with all your being
You carve a path that keeps turning
You mould it as you go like words to a rhyme
Mile after mile it does wind
Some things you leave behind
Swept into the tide of time

Oh my
Oh how moments just fly by

And even if I could turn back time
Oh I'd choose to be the same guy
Who sits and wonders why
Ponders over God's design

Oh my
Oh how moments just fly by

Oh my
Oh how moments just fly by

We're Made For Life

Yinshyen:

Feeding my soul
Sealing your thought
Give everything
We're made for life

Fly now
Sky high
Eating my soul
Sing your song
Feeding my soul
We're made for life

Fly now
Sky high

Fly now
Sky high
Eating my soul
Sing your song

Eating my soul
Sing your song
We're made for life

I Want To Know

Merritt Lear:

Could you come and drag me home
I want to turn this ash to gold
Could we bleed
Could we be loud
Could we lay it down

I want to know
I want to know

They've got eyes all over town
I still want them anyway
Put them to sleep
Give them a name
Give them my heart
Then give them away

I want to know...

Could you come and walk me home
I want to turn this ash to gold
Could it be me
Could it be ours
Could we be seen
Could we be on

I want to know...

Extraction

Michael Hix:

We devour everything
Not knowing how to stop
Extracted everything

Green to brown
Fucking the depleted earth
Our collective greed

Mounds of mud
Battered wastelands
Will tomorrow come
To fill my hands

We create untruths
Lies of indignation
We go forth and extract
Exploiting lands of poorer nations

Some of us feel guilt
I'd like to believe I'm innocent
But really

Fill my wallet
I feel empty

Our world is no more real
Than worlds before us

Something Feral

Jakeoat:

Laden with rue
Curled up in his solitude
Arms too weak to hold across
Caving into this interlude

Gifted but something held him back
Until the day when

Something feral
Grew within him
There's no holding back
No matter how you tried
It was for the better indeed
To leave him be

Longing for the light
The days passed with little to do
"What's all this for?", he asked
Before he left, his things askew

Twisted like branches in a storm
Like thunder he roared

Something feral
Grew within him
There's no holding back
No matter how you tried
It was for the better indeed
To leave him be

To leave him be
In a place he's free
He sings aloud
And dances with glee
To leave him be
Set him free

Sympathise And Survive

Yinshyen:

Our sun
Old star
Rebirth is soon

The time's now
We know
The end is soon

Hide
And collide
Sympathise and survive

Find
Harmonise
Think like we're one

Final countdown
Fields of sorrow

Haul life
Mankind
Deep down
Underground

Haul life
Mankind
Deep down
Underground

New sun
New life
All be one
Let life be life

New sun
New life
All be one
Let life be life

My Love For You

When we're in love, the day is glowing
But slowly dying my love for you
Look on tomorrow, this just isn't true
Sorry for my little love
I laid back there, so hard to remember

Oh what we have built together
Oh what we have built together

Hello, you, I find myself in particular need
You know what I mean, it's most of the time
"Leave me alone, I want some peace," you say
How I try

Oh what we have built together
Oh what we have built together

Every day, together we walk, together we slope
Unable to find that space between us
Lost over decades of struggle, strife
It feels you need no love
But you have ???
You never abandoned me
I never give up the chase
You've been the only love of my life
And given me family, I love you, Sam

PHOENIX

Seek Less Joy

Time moves us forward
And time moves us back
Break free the cycle
Move on and evolve

We have free will
To start or fight
Fear is the mood
We can overcome

Time moves us forward
And time moves us back
Break free the cycle
Move on and evolve

Stylophone

Made it all with his hands
Molded every single plan
Making sure he had a view
This is his home
It's not your home

Built a house for his stylophone
He's all alone in his madness
In his asylum
In his asylum

Leaving breadcrumbs on his way
So he wasn't led astray
Walking back to his home
This is his home
It's not your home

Built a house for his stylophone
He's all alone in his madness
In his asylum
In his asylum

Made it all with his hands
Molded every single plan
Making sure he had a view
This is his home
It's not your home

Built a house for his stylophone
He's all alone in his madness
In his asylum
In his asylum

Leaving breadcrumbs on his way
So he wasn't led astray
Walking back to his home
This is his home
It's not your home

Built a house for his stylophone
He's all alone in his madness
In his asylum
In his asylum

Rack 'em, pack 'em
Smack 'em, crack 'em
Sack 'em, whack 'em
What a funny name

Love Everything And Everyone

Sometimes it's over
Too soon for one life
You can go back
Listen, there's more to be done
For you to resolve

Hindsight's my gift for you
To take back and see suffering
I'm not telling you to go back
???

You'll go back and see the world
And you'll like it, happy
You'll love everything and everyone
Before, so excited for all

We are angels above
I hope to see you again sometime
I know that you'll feel so sad
But soon we'll change
We're always by your side

Voyager Alone

Satellite
You're on your own
Sometimes
Bounding on
Frontier near

Over Dust
Surprising us
Until the end

We say goodbye

Sink This Ship

Can you sink this ship before it sails for home
Put a hole in it, please, that I don't, I don't care
I don't want to go home back to my mother
Can you sink this ship before it sails for home

Can't play that game, it's too dangerous
Must take my desire, ???
Can't play that game, it's too dangerous
Must take my desire, ???
Can't play that game, it's too dangerous
Must take my desire, ???
Can't play that game, it's too dangerous
Must take my desire

Can you sink this ship before it sails for home
Put a hole in it, please, that I don't, I don't care

I don't want to go home back to my mother
Can you sink this ship before it sails for home

Can't play that game, it's too dangerous
Must take my desire, ???
Can't play that game, it's too dangerous
Must take my desire, ???
Can't play that game, it's too dangerous
Must take my desire, ???
Can't play that game, it's too dangerous

Sing

Sing, sing to my soul, sing
This is the night before
You raise hell and tears
This is the day we fail
To talk it through and cry
To forgive, no one's perfect
There's no hope

Sing, sing in my soul
Reach in deep down
And find yourself
It's everything
You have the means
To live the way you want

Sing, sing my soul

This is the way for all to make tomorrow

Dry My Eyes

If I was only called a man in my town
If I sold you my guitar, it's got three strings
Swing me a whiskey for my compose
Tentatively slip away in my dreams

Lay me down between two trees
Let the sun dry my eyes in my yard
No one will take me on
Fifteen years, I've gone

Helpless case, you're on your own
Make your bed, you know
That's what they say in my town
Situation calls for change, but how

No one will take me on
Fifteen years, I've gone
No one will take me on
Fifteen years, I've gone

 

CALLING TO THE SUN

Water And Salt

Watch when stars
Shouldn't kill
Veneration
Hold us still
Dream the solely
For what we need
Moving swiftly southward
Beyond the bleed

Oh I am but water and salt
Water and salt
Weeping vapor
I am but water and salt
Water and salt
I will dissolve

???

Goodness capable of pain
Trust that love is not in vain
While the brightless being here
All the changes

Springtime
Springtime
Springtime

Your Lovely Face

I'm so upset by what they're saying
If I dwell on all the games they're playing
It's a crying shame and it hurts me more
More and more

Oh darling, it's not hopeless
Don't let it disturb your lovely face
People can be so cruel
We don't have to be fools
I love you, always do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh I know, but I'm so upset
By what they're saying
Oh we don't ever need to fight
Or we will deceive
For I love you, always do
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh I know, but I'm so upset
By what they're saying

I see you through the daily grind
The goodness in you (the goodness in you)
But, darling, it's not what I find (not what I find)
At the end of each day (end of each day)
These things I will say (things I will say)
I see you (I see you) and your lovely face (lovely face)
Will never fade away (never fade away)

Love can be
A cherry tree
Oh I see you
My darling, I always do
Love you, I love you, I love you
That much is true
At the end of each day
These things I will say

Your love is always there
When I'm feeling down
Even when I'm angry
You're always there
Even though it's hard for me
To show my love for you

Oh I know, but I'm so upset
By what they're saying

Oh I see you
And darling, I always do
And the goodness in you
And darling, so darling true
At the end of each day
These things I will say

I see you and your lovely face
Will never fade away
Oh I see you and your lovely face
I see you and your lovely face

Singing Tree

Blue bells
Bells ringing
Ringing tree
Trees singing
Ringing tree
Singing

As little bird wing
Little things swing
A river flowing
Into me

Red sky
Sky pale
Pale as a ghost
Ghostly white

Ghostly white
Night falls
Falls bright
Bright black
Then white
The river flows
And my heart grows
Grows, yeah

Draw you near
Into my wilderness
Into my wilderness
My wild love

Draw you near
Into my wilderness
Wild love

My wildest love
Wholest, newest
My wildest love

Green fields
Feel like a beginning
Beginning to unfold
All tall and retall
Draw you near
Into my wilderness
My wild

Someone I Used To Love

Someone I used to know
Is coming back to stay
Not sure if we'll still meet
In that old familiar way

There's someone I used to love
Back when love was called a crush
We were inseparable
And our love such a dizzy rush
That someone still lives in me
And my childish heart won't let it be

Who you choose to be
How you want to play
You'll realize one day
Friends from the past
(Must I dwell)
You'll meet again one day
(I can't deny)
You'll realize yourself
(That flame in us)
(No longer bright)

You are my ???
???
In your eyes
Just in your eyes

You are my ???
???
In your eyes
Just in your eyes

Someone I used to know
Has come back to stay
I'm passing them on the street
Saying, "What a lovely day"

Do you remember when
No, I don't go there again
'Cause in your eyes
In your eyes

What can I see
This must pass
Life goes on
So very fast
Must I dwell
I can't deny
That flame in us
No longer bright

Someone I used to know
I passed him on the street
Someone I used to know
Remember when life was so complete
Someone I used to know
Can't ignite that flame
That someone still lives in me
And my childish heart won't let it be

Who you choose to be
How you want to play
You'll realize one day
Friends from the past
(Must I dwell)
You'll meet again one day
(I can't deny)
You'll realize yourself
(That flame in us)
(No longer bright)

What can I see
This must pass
Life goes on
So very fast
Must I dwell
I can't deny
That flame in us
No longer bright

Belly Of The Mountain

Thinking back lately
Wild horse do escape me
Run off on a mountain
My spirit is a-failing
Before I saw the dawn, was left to jump
Before I lit a candle to a star

Dusk on the mountain
Fire's nearly out
Feel me sitting here
My warmth by your side
Memories of bliss
Hold me tight all night
Fire's nearly out
Time's nearly out

???
Unsettling, undiminished
Climbing off a mountain
My spirit is a hound
Before I saw the dawn, was left to jump

Here begun the dusk
Fire's nearly out
Do you hear me whisper
I love you so much
I'm always here for you
???
Fire's nearly out
(Fire's nearly out)
Time's nearly out
(Fire's nearly out)
Fire's nearly out
(Fire's nearly out)
Time's nearly out
(Fire's nearly out)
Time's nearly out
Time's nearly out

My spirit is holding
The belly of the mountain
Before I saw the dawn, was left to jump
Before I lit a candle to a star

The Guru And The Contessa

If I had a medal shining gold
Would it tell me a story
Like the knights of old
Knights foretold
In dreaming unfolds

If I had a pony dappled with light
Would it carry me over
My warrior knight
Like knights foretold
In dreaming unfolds

Plant me a meadow
Oh shiny and bright
Wild flowers stretching
Their limbs to the light
There stands my pony
My warrior knight

Dream, dream, dream...

I am in my medal
Shining gold
My dappled pony
My warrior foretold

Calling To The Sun

The sky's so wide
I am still waiting here
And nothing moves
Except my breath
Not a single tear

All is a mountain to climb
All is a river to wade
All is a beautiful rhyme
All is a beautiful day

All is a mountain to climb
All is a river to wade
All is a beautiful rhyme
All is a beautiful day

I'm soaring high
My heart it beats
A flock of lullabies

All is a mountain to climb
All is a river to wade
All is a beautiful rhyme
All is a beautiful day

Calling to the sun
Calling to the sun
Calling to the sun
Calling to the sun

And oh, oh so sweet
Leave your mark
Nothing to find
Just the words you make
And the life you scape
The dreams you break

All is a mountain to climb (a mountain to climb)
All is a river to wade (a river to wade)
All is a beautiful rhyme (a beautiful rhyme)
All is a beautiful day (a beautiful day)

Calling to the sun
Calling to the sun
Calling to the sun
Calling to the sun
The sun, the sun

All is a mountain to climb
All is a river to wade
All is a beautiful rhyme
All is a beautiful day
Day, day, day

Old Love

Pearls can get damaged
My world gave in
Life became too lifting
I've become too lifting
You are a part of me
You always will be
Unravelled all the binding
Keeps unwinding
Hard is the suffering
Breaking up with, the toughest thing
Scattered to the floor
Pearls are no more
Pearls are no more

Old love
We are old love
Old love
We are old love

Cross the desert
To the storm
You are the one
Who kept me warm
Cross the desert
To that place
Where we belong

Old love
We are old love...

Pearls can get damaged
My world gave in
Life became too lifting
I've become too lifting
You are a part of me
You always will be
Where we belong

Old love
We are old love

Cross the desert
Through the storm
You are the one
Who kept me warm...

Hang An Eight

(Compilation LP)

You look like an intelligent young man
You look like someone who would be interested in a bargain

Right
Listen, you take this A, B, and C
It's very useful, you buy it
You hang it on the wall, on the wall
Why, why should I buy an A and hang it on the wall
Next time, you'll wonder how many legs an octopus has

Hey yo, Coney Island's finest over here with the other Coney Island's finest
Just doing things right, you hear me
And we're not gonna examine what they fucking say, bruh
I'm saying I'm a fucking sop, you hear me
You look like an intelligent young man
You look like an intelligent young man
(And you see all that is)
You look like an intelligent young man

I'm nobody, but I'm a somebody
I'm nobody, but I'm a somebody in the Lord
Don't worry, here I am, I'm no-
Hey, Sammy
Don't worry, here I am
I'm nobody, but I'm a somebody
Hey, Sammy
Don't worry, here I am
I'm nobody, but I'm a somebody in the Lord
One, two, three, jump

You look like an intelligent young man
One thing this summer, don't die for free

Hope Goes Blind

(Without Some Help LP)

James Roberts:

Wasted your mind and now you're out of control
How did you let it get so broken and dull

I never wanted to be you
I never wanted to live alone

When you're aching for a reason
Baby, baby, baby, live
When you're digging on a seawall
Honey, honey, honey, live
Who is living, who is evil
Baby, baby, baby, live
Now is everybody bitter
Baby, baby

Wasted your mind and now you're out of control

When you're aching for a reason
Baby, baby, baby, live
When you'rе digging on a seawall
Honey, honey, honеy, live
Who is living, who is evil
Baby, baby, baby, live
Now is everybody bitter
Honey, honey, honey, live
When you're aching for a reason
Baby, baby, baby, live
When you're digging on a seawall
Baby, baby

Missing Me

(Appendix EP)

I'm taking in the cold
I like it cold
Take it to the cold
Make it cold
Make it sleep somehow
I'm missing me
I'm missing you
I'm awake right now

When's the morning due
It's so heavy
Feel so sleepy
Falling deeper now
With such a cold
It wakes my mind
And the night comes back
And the night comes back

I'm taking in the cold
I like it cold
Take it to the cold
Make it cold
Make it sleep somehow
I'm missing me
I'm missing you
I'm awake right now

When's the morning due
I'm so heavy
Feel so sleepy
Falling deeper now
With such a cold
It wakes my mind
And the night comes back
And the night comes back

Morning Jam

Helen White:

This same old dream
It's killing me to sleep
I'm losing sanity
I can't eat
I turn to drink
My indifference sends me deep

This same old dream
It's killing me to sleep
And I know it shows
Oh this same old dream
Oh it's killing me to sleep
And I know it shows

I am consumed
There is a part of this symbol
I do every move
Oh you say the words
Unconsciously in verse
In my mind
Into the open

Oh this same old dream
It's killing me to sleep
And I know it shows
Oh this same old dream
Oh it's killing me to sleep
And I know it shows

Revolution

( The Beatles / From Revolution EP )

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction

Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Salt

(Salt EP)

Turn off the road, stop the car
Put out the lights
Through the trees, not very far
Just to the right
See it now, looks the same
But differently
The place where we first met before
You became a memory

Going back just for a day, I had to do
Now that you're gone and I find
I cling hopelessly to you
As I walk, feel your hand inside of mine
Will you help me through this day
I'm not ready for a memory

All over
But isn't it amazing
How I feel you still so real
All over
Isn't it amazing
How I feel you still

Going back, lights ???
I don't want to go
Reignite even if just for a while
Familiarity makes me so high
So high that I feel you standing
Here with me

All over
Oh isn't it amazing
How I feel you still
All over
It is just amazing
How you feel so real
All over
But isn't it amazing
How you make me feel
All over
Amazing, amazing
Oh it isn't real

Sea

(South EP)

Hello, Mrs. Louise Jacobs
Hello there
How are you, Louise
I'm fine, thank you
Well, I'm happy to hear that, Louise
How is everything in the Motor City
Oh everything is all right

Shuttered I

(Salt EP)

Before I fall back to sleep
There is one thing I, I must speak
Shall I whisper soft and clear
Nothing else will happen

Miracle
Miracle
Miracle

These are the times of changes
I never saw our life go by
Through the shuttered I
Through the shuttered I

Before I fall back to sleep
There is one word I must speak

Miracle
Miracle
Miracle

These are the times of changes
I never saw our life go by
Through the shuttered I
Through the shuttered I

Before I fall back to sleep 

Song To The Siren

(Tim Buckley cover / Without Some Help LP)

Wendy Stubbs:

Long afloat on a shipless ocean
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your eyes
Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me
Were you here when I was forced
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn storm your rocks
Touch me not, touch me not
Come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow

I'm puzzled as a newborn baby
I'm as troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
Shall I lie with death my bride
Swim to me, swim to me
Come on, let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you

The Way You Are

(Without Some Help LP)

Kelvin Swaby:

You're the love and the soul
And the beauty of it all
Anytime that you take
Make the simple things more gracious

Call my name, you say
Girl, it's all because you take it
From the sun, from the moon
From the light that you are

But I bet you couldn't do it again, yeah
I bet you couldn't do it again, oh no
I bet you couldn't do it again without some help

You're the rise and the fall
And the words that mean much more
So the way that I feel
Got me caught up on your heel

It's the same old thing
With the love that you owe
It's the same old thing
Make you warm, make you cold

But I bet you couldn't do it again, yeah
I bet you couldn't do it again, oh no
I bet you couldn't do it again without some help

This Is Where I Came In

(Written by Jimmy Webb / Without Some Help LP)


Jarvis Cocker:

No need to tell me
'Cause I can see it in your eyes
I've seen that look before
That's why it comes as no surprise

Yeah, so this is where you're gonna leave me
So this is how our story ends
I can tell that this is where you're gonna leave me
Outside looking in
All alone again
Which way to the door
This is where I came in

And all my life has been a technicolor feature
That I have had to watch in tears from the thirteenth row
And I have lost every girl that I have ever loved
And they never change the story
And they never stop the show
No, no, no, no

This is my exit
I know without a doubt
I came in lonely
So that's how I'm going out

Because, yeah, this is where you're gonna leave me
Yeah, this is how the story ends
I can see it in your eyes
You're gonna leave me
Outside looking in
All alone again
Which way to the door
There
This is where I came in

And I think I'm gonna cry
Feeling like I'm gonna die
Now I'm gonna cry
Feeling like I'm gonna die
And now I'm gonna cry
Now I'm gonna cry
I may as well go and die
