1. _ Twist in My Sobriety
All God's children need traveling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We just poked a little pie
For the fun people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Cup of tea, take time to think, yea
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

2. _ World Outside Your Window
Everyone has said that I might go
'Cause my red suitcase and my ray-bans
Weren't quite so
I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls
I'll never come back again
'Cause you know I laugh when winter shows her hand
Well, that picture framed the saddest thing you'll see
But it bought me time and a place that love could be
And since I'm going now please rearrange
'Cause I'd like to think that things have changed
I don't believe you'll be open anymore
Tell me if, you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
And tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me
Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while
Tell us 'bout that great land in the south
I see that man - now ain't he under offer?
I tell you child you go wash out your mouth
Tell me if, you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isn't free
And tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me
What can you say
I'm hiding in the belfry
What can you say - I want to catch time
How can you say you know anything about me
Well I knew about you - but I won't care about you
Everyone has come to see. Well somethings have to do
Flowers out for this photographic haunt, but they all pass me by
But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz
And when I winced with ignorance
I had to kiss this dust

3. _ Yodelling Song
The first time you stole flowers from the grave
Then, the second time, you shaved your head, you had been saved
By the very friendly, Jesus man
And all he said, "Well, I'm your brother, man"
In the winter time you - you wore patch-work hard-me-downs
In the summer time - you were all bronzed, while I was brown
And they didn't ask you where you got the candy
No, they didn't ask you where you got the tan
In the morning time - we played travels in the sea
In the evening time - we had reduced the sea to me
But your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand
Yeah - your mother saved us - from your daddy's hand
From your daddy
From your daddy
With my adult mind -
You know my body feels so strange
If they'd only sign away my life to me
I could be much saner
If they'd only learn to let me
Freedom seek
The world would be less mean
But they never know - how to let you go
But they never know - how to leace me
Yodel - ee
Yod - el - ee

4. _ We Almost Got It Together
We almost got it together
And I'll be your favorite thing
Stand by the river with hard-luck eyes
And I'll just be open and sing
I was only trying to surprise
I wish I was like the frog-princess
And I'd never tell you lies
And down by the soil of the hard-life
They like to greet us with smiles
They like to tell us their good hostess
Had traveled a million miles
But you'd like it written closer
Yes, you'd like it written pure
If I told you this -
Would you miss my kiss?
No - you'd come right back for more
Oh, I'd like to be
What I want to be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone
And there's a light by your window
And I'd like to capture you by there
And I'd like to hold you for all to see
But they don't really care
And if I said you're no peccadillo
Yes, I said you're a major thing
Would you stand by me?
At the corner dock
And say, "yes, this girl is the swing!"
Oh, I'd like to be
What I want to be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone
And I'd like another cue
That's why I strain to see
And I'd like the best in you
'Cause you write the best in me
They were sure that I'd be burning
Yes -
So their tart swerve to here might be
But if I said "you're gold, inside",
Yes and if you were true to me
Would you hang around with that creepy smile
And crawl home back to me
Oh, I'd like to be
What I want to be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take
What you have to take
But I'll still be here when you're gone

5. _ Lovers in the City
I'd never call this an unpleasant situation
I'd never teach you how to lie
But sometimes I have been walking numb
And I must catch myself before I cry
Before I cry
I never call anything ugly
I never call anything strange and alone
I never want to, take things lightly
Like they have never been my own
Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet
Oh, don't - I haven't heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isn't
A lover in the city
I always thought I would be star bright
I always thought you'd feel it too
But sometimes I have been making conversation
And I must catch myself
Before I'm down
I'm down on you
I never think they would be scaring me
scared couples in the cold
They look so fine in their eagerness
I wonder to myself just how they know
Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet
Oh, don't - I haven't heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isn't
A lover in the city
I swear
I'm staking out the whole world
I swear
I'm staking out the whole world
I'm staking out the whole world
I could never entertain you
I'd be far too scared to try
But sometimes I have been talking dumb
And I forget myself
And I forget myself
And don't ask, why?
Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet
Oh, don't - I havn't heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isn't
A lover in the city

7. _ Me in Mind
Well, our dog beats in his own heart
Our dog was from the start
Not much use in the rain
Not much use in the sun
Put it outside and let the paint run
Put it outside and let the paint run
Well, our mean day was not heaven sent
Couldn't stay, couldn't raise the rent
Couldn't stay a little, let us be
Couldn't stay, so we set it free
Hey, supposing, I meet you
We waste some time
Supposing, I let you
You still be in mind, mind, mind, mind
Enter, kisses not able
Not able to turn some tricks
Not able to give me favors
Not even when I'm thick with it
And my heart wasn't a stranger
But it sure made no sense to me
Made no sense to any flavors that came
Sown in so cautiously
Hey, hearts still yearn to
Make a sign
Watching
You send me in mind, mind, mind, mind
Well, our old stairs are all the same
The same weather, the same wood stain
You can beep from the left
You can beep from the right
Put it outside and let them turn wide
Put it outside and let them turn wide
Well, no respect, no leniency
Was not ever so well spooked in me
Was not evil so it hangs okay
This's the world in which we play
This's the world in which we play
Hey, harder, sane, spent, all awake
Their eyes shame me
With their mistakes
Mind, mind, mind

8. _ To Wish This
It's a long day for me and my world
It's a long day to be your girl
It's been a hard time spent missing so much
But still I love you to wish this, to wishes
It takes some caring to have enough
It takes some pleasing to keep us crossed
And growing harder to keep you crowned
But such a true look can be, to wish this, to wishes
Some dust in my eye
Some movement cries
Some will and won't
Some he has shown me love
It takes a murmur to keep this touch
It's a murmur, who wants this touch?
To such a soft heart, it can be found
To hush this longing, to wish this, to wishes
It takes a long day to find your world
It takes a long day to be your girl
But it's the right time to feel this much
I still love you, to wish this, to wishes
|
|
9. _ This Stranger
I'm gonna build a strange city overcome
Mad as any and anyone
Who wants to wish upon me
I will take a city and it will take the rain
Anybody who sees this face
Will have to blink at this
Strange heart
This stranger
Everbody's angel and everbody's friend
Everybody who came around
Will come around again
I will stake this city and it will take the soil
Anybody who sings me
Will know the trouble's been a
Strange heart
This stranger
Where's yours sincerely, where you say you'll be?
I still wrapped in this restless night
Yes, it still comes back to me
Everybody's favoured and everybody's day
'cause everytime I see your face
I can see your
Strange heart
This stranger

10. _ Men and Women
You give more than me
And you live like men and women
In the shade more than me
Yes, you hide like men and women
Men and women
Jealous, born and young at heart
And these walls like men and women
Men and women
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
And chance alone
Are gifts I give
And watered down
To men and women
Men and women
And the drag past
And the walk past
And the days last long
And your eyes shine
And I see mine in them
And I see myself
Men and women
Men and women

11. _ Sunset's Arrived
Your sun
Doesn't make it easy for me
Way I breathed before
Now I don't breathe - no more freely
And I like
To catch the shoulder where you cry
My business
A message in the sky
If it's a long time coming
Just carry, carry somebody else's blame
If it's a long time coming
Let us start the speech again
My clown
Hooked the rose between his teeth
Stole into the night
To my laugh was quiet relief
And your spice, let me roll it through my tongue
When I'm caught and older
I'll still be caught beneath this sun
And everybody was here
They was telling their own sad stories
I'm sorry I'm not so clear
And time will take you aside
You better cover your eyes, or you'll cry
Cause I know sunset's
I know sunset's
I know sunset's arrived
Your light
Let the shadows take it down
There's no sense in the beginning
With the cover on your frown
And my light
Makes the shade, a shade too black
And though I choose this
You still choose to have me back
And everybody was here
They was telling their own sad stories
I'm sorry I'm not so clear
And time will take you aside
You better cover your eyes, or you'll cry
Cause I know sunset's
I know sunset's
I know sunset's arrived
While you were out yonder
Checking out the scene
Maybe you'll lose your thunder
Maybe you'll lose your dream
And my heat
Is only striking hot for you
Cause I'm not shaking easy
I'm just acting from your one
And "Hey Boss!"
You couldn't make it on your own
Sure I've stamped you easy
And I'll lead you back to home
And everybody was here
They was telling their own sad stories
I'm sorry I'm not so clear
And time will take you aside
You better cover your eyes, or you'll cry
Cause I know sunset's
I know sunset's
I know sunset's arrived
|
|
12. _ Once and Not Speak
Well I might be politic
Or I might just grab your hand
I'm not selfish with my story
I just want something, understand
Oh, this world is not for grieving
It's not grieving for my cry
And I hate this growl inside
And you better believe it when I tell you
That it's all growing
Until you learn to trust
Well this wash it wasn't easy
No this wash just doesn't dream
It just makes the whole thing cluttered, yes
And when you've seen the sights it's best to scream
I'm not stolen from the souless
I'm just driven to the white
So, you really ought to catch me now
You really ought to join the fight
And if I tell you all my secrets
That you ever wanted to hear - it's
Once and not speak
Once and not speak
Once and not speak
Well, no one wants to play this
Well, no one likes the dark
And we just checked in for higher love
Well, that's another - you like sparks
Well, I'll fly across the evening
Least, I'll smile across the hall to you
But it better not be fascinate
It beter just be wall-to-wall
And if I tell you all my secrets
That you ever wanted to hear - it's
Once and not speak
Once and not speak
Once and not speak
Well, I'm the tired recluse, yes
And I'm tired of this courtyrad
And every grateful day's the herdline
Well, the crafty were just leaving
They've forgotten how to talk
And that slither through the evening
Was just another kind of walk with me
Well, I'll tell you what you wanted
Leat I'll stunt you with my grace
And I know it's all so easy
But I just want to find your face
And if I tell you all my secrets
That you ever wanted to hear - it's
Once and not speak
Once and not speak
Once and not speak

13. _ I'm Going Home
When the phone calls, I blew it
I'm going home, I blew it
You know so well where I'm goin'
So long, leave me alone
The times change
I don't believe that the times change
I'm deceived by the hum
Makes all days go circlin' 'round me
You were always doin' best by me
You were always so true
But here sometimes, in here sometimes
There's still someone watching for you
My love, could not stand all this
To love, could not stand all the heartache
But I won't be taking
No sweet silence round here

14. _ Cappuccino Song
The woman smiles, the cafe feels like home to you
And as she glances through the magazine you feel somehow, she's seen you, too
[Chorus]
All my life I thought you said
All my life I heard you say
It'll be all right
(All my life)
If you stay for all my life, for all my life
As she turns her face I feel unsure, is it foolish to want much more?
And as I place the moments in the frame it's to these, I return again
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
We could be together
We could be forever in my company

15. _ Good Tradition
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
And though the rain may fall your father's calling you
You still feel safe inside
And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you
You still feel safe inside
Oh, was this solo?
Was this yesterday?
Was this true for you?
'cause while all the rest have taken time
This didn't do a lot for you
And the corners laced with memories
Tell you how it used to be
Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away
And strong feelings never bother you
You hold your head up while the rest of us try to
Oh, call the stations
Call the people
We all want to know
'cause while all the rest have taken time
You don't want to know
Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
And though the rain may fall your father's calling you
You still feel safe inside
And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you
You still feel safe inside
Oh, was this solo?
Was this yesterday?
Was this true for you?
'cause of all the choices you have made
This didn't do a lot for you

16. _ I Owe All to You
|
|
17. _ Stop Listening
I'm happy to be here
I'm happy to be with you
For where in a lifetime
Do we do the things we really want to
Now old friends they watch lovers
They wonder where we're going to
They know each look from the other
And they accuse you, accuse you
It's on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and
Don't do this to me, stop listening, start calling my name
Stop turning from me, start feeling I'm here, stop listening
Keep holding me
I'm happy to lie here
Well, I'm happy to touch your face
I've got nothing to fear here
So these feelings, they cannot be placed
Oh, why do you never listen? What do you ever want?
It's funny how I feel like, some kind of person
Another kind of person I would never like to be
Your on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and
Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name
I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me
Keep holding me
You can be fragile I don't care I'll always be there
Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name yes I do
I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me
Keep holding me
