Black Sea

Never seen her glowing
All that bright she's throwing
Like some aurora
From her head it's growing
Reaching to the ground and all around
Like a navajo blanket

Never heard her singing
Now she's gently ringing
Like copper wind chimes
What on earth is bringing up this stream
The cat who got the cream is licking her lips
And smiling like her cheshire cousin
She claims she's found a way to make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night

She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away away
She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away
She says she's burning up

Now you see i'm smiling
Back to juvenile'ing
I learnt her lesson
In like flint and styling
All the world is neatly curled around my littlest finger

I can't stop this grinning
So assume i'm winning
Threw pessimism
In the air it's spinning
Crashing to the floor and nevermore
Will it lure me away with sweets
And shiny things just like a magpie

Now every bird and bee just fuel the fire for me
Now every closing door just fans the flames some more

(now i'm thinking okay)
(i'm turning night into day)

See the lovers all gone crazy
Looking for romance it seems
Many sleepless nights will follow
Some may lose but some succeed

Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight

Make a play of lust intention
Only just one thing in mind
Make a slip could be forever
Wedding bells, the shotgun kind

Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight

Mouse takes the bait
So soon as he leaves his seat
There's no escape, very soon their eyes will meet

Love at first sight etc.

Take your partner to surrender
Then your misdemeanour's done
Sacrifice of maidenhood
But little boys must have their fun

Love at first sight.

Towers of london
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of london
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
Fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven

Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high
Merchants from stepney walking pretty ladies by
Rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry
For the bridge that doesn't go
In the direction of dublin

And i've seen it in a painting
And i've seen it in engraving
And i've seen it in their faces
Clear as children's chalk lines on the paving

Towers of london
La la londinium.

There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world just how we feel
No bridge of thought
No mental link
No letting out just what you think
There is no language in our lungs
There is no muscle in our tongues
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No we're leaving nothing
Just chiselled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no muscle in our tongues
I thought i had the whole world in my mouth
I thought i could say what i wanted to say
For a second that thought became a sword in my hand
I could slay any problem that would stand in my way
I felt just like a crusader
Lionheart, a holy land invader
But nobody can say what they really mean to say and
The impotency of speech came up and hit me that day and
I would have made this instrumental
But the words got in the way
There is no language in our...
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No we're leaving nothing behind
Just chiselled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no language in our lungs.

Paper, iron, won't buy eden
Working for paper and for iron
Work for the right to keep my tie on
Working for paper and for iron
Work for the unicorn and lion

I pray the kids aren't starving
No chicken for the sunday carving
I'll stay for one more farthing

I take home my notes and coins every week
I'm told i'm worth much more
But the church says turn the other cheek
The other cheek
Paper, iron, won't buy eden.

I know the family needs me
Can't moan, the factory feeds me
Won't bite the hand that bleeds me

I take home my notes and coins every week
I'll inherit the earth i'm told
But the church says to remain this meek
Remain this meek
I'm still a proud man.
Won't show anybody else my wage
A blend in the crowd man
Is this anybody's golden age
Is this anybody's golden age
Is this anybody's golden age
Or am i dreaming of a golden cage

La la lo it's paper
La la lo it's iron
La la lo just paper
La la lo just iron
