Fountain



Stand
Under
Fountain
Cool skin
Wash clean
Wash him
From me
Along comes wind
A big bone-shaker
Blows off my clothes
Completely naked
What to do
When everything
Has left you?

Out of the blue
It is he
A vision to me
Bearing leaves
Petals green
Covers me
In all my shame
Hand in hand
He's my big man
Stays with me
Some forty days
No words
Then goes away
I cry
Again

Ecstasy


Flying
I'm flying
Hitting heaven's high
Head on break to low
Floating
I'm floating
Hang below the sea
I'm telling you look at me
Ecstasy
I'm in e
Ecstasy
Singing
I'm singing
Sound it hang it breathe
I'm begging you look at me
Ecstasy
I'm in e
Ecstasy
Ecstasy

Easy



Oyster pearl
You easy girls
You're flapping in
You're shouting
You're dead good
All the men say
Legs wide
Hips swinging like a doorway
Easy
I'm ranting
I'm raving
I'm taking in
Just everything
You're giving me
No leeway
I opened once
And you called me devil's gateway
Easy
And I deserve it
I asked you for it
Have to admit it
We dress like targets
Yes I deserve it
Give me no leeway
I'll give you fine times
You can call me devil's gateway
Easy

Dry



Caught it in the face
Coming around again
Thought it was worth waiting
You're caught up in my hair
Wet sides from time to time
But mostly I'm just dry
You leave me dry
You've come all this way
No hair out of place
You put it on the stage
You put right in my face
You leave me dry
No water-well in sight
No water at my sides
I'm sucking on the well
I'm sucking 'til I'm white
You leave me dry

Driving



Tell 'em I'm driving & it's alright
Turn on this wheel turn on headlights
100 different bibles by my side
In my white gown I'll go flying down

Oh my eyes - it cannot be
He said no … - it cannot be
All that time…- it cannot be
He said… - it cannot be

And let the ghosts fly their asses off tonight
'Cos I'm just driving until it dies
Tell 'em I'm driving & it's alright
Tell 'em that I had a skinfull
Tell 'em that I couldn't sit still
Imagine your whole self is filled with light
Your voice ringing out - through the whole fuckin' town
Oh my eyes - it cannot be
You tell 'em I'm driving

Dress



Put on that dress
I'm going out dancing
Starting off red
Clean and sparkling he'll see me
Music play make it dreamy for dancing
Must be a way that I can dress to please him
It's hard to walk in the dress it's not easy
I'm swinging over like a heavy loaded fruit tree
- If you put it on
It's sad to see
Lonely all this lonely
Close up my eyes
Dreamy dreamy music make it be alright
Music play make it good for romancing
Must be a way I can dress to please him
Swing it sway everything'll be alright
But it's feeling so tight tonight

-"You purdy thang" my man says
"But I bought you beautiful dresses"

Filthy tight the dress is filthy
I'm falling flat and my arms are empty
Clear the way better get it out of this room
A fallen woman in dancing costume

Down by the water


I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I moan
And now I holler
She'll never know
Just what I found
That blue eyed girl
{That blue eyed girl}
She said "no more"
{She said "no more"}
That blue eyed girl
{That blue eyed girl}
Became blue eyed whore
{Big blue eyed whore}
Down by the water
{Down by the water}
I took her hand
{I took her hand}
Just like my daughter
{Just like my daughter}
See her again
{See her again}

Oh help me jesus
Come through this storm
I had to lose her
Io do her harm
I heard her holler
{I heard her holler}
I heard her moan
{I heard her moan}
My lovely daughter
{My lovely daughter}
I took her home
{I took her home}

Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.

Death Is Not The End




When you're sad and you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you hold sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing on the crosroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When the storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end

And there is no-one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Up in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end

And you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

Dear darkness



Dear darkness
Dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover me again

Dear darkness
Dear
I've been your friend for many years

Won't you do this for me?
Dearest darkness
And cover me from the sun under the
Words typing
The words are tighening around my throat and, and

Around the throat of the one I love
The timing, the typing, the tightening
Around the throat of the one I love
The timing, the typing, the tightening

Dear Darkness
Dear Darkness
Now it's your time to look after us
Cos we've kept your clothes
We kept your business
when everyone else was having good luck

So now it's your time
Time to pay
To pay me and the one I love
With the wordly goods you've stashed away
With all the things you took from us

Darling Be There



Take me over
Pale blue water
Take me under
Take me home

Darling be there
Bring me laughter
I'll be happy
Ever more

Bring me sunshine
Bring me love
No tomorrow
He'll fall upon

Darling be there
Bring me laughter
I'll be happy
Ever more

Darling be there
Bring me laughter
I'll be happy
Ever more

Dance



Wedding night, blade knife
Shining under orange light
See him running, caught under headlight
Don't care anyway
This scar has seen better days
Get it out of my way
That's where music playing

I'll get dancing
I'm here dancing
I'm here dancing
I'm here dancing

Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
Talking that the heat put plants in the bed but
Married on Wednesday, written on Thursday
Trial on Friday, hung herself on Saturday

I'm here dancing
I'm here dancing
I'm here dancing

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

Time and time
I know time trickle by
Hung herself on washing line
This girl's drip dry

I'm here dancing
I'm here dancing
I'm here dancing
I'm here dancing

Daddy



Daddy
Hold me
It seems so very dark tonight
And day

Daddy
I can't sleep
Need you to come and sing to me

That the stars
Up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough (Daddy)
It will be light (Baby)
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry

Oh Daddy
Your baby
Is weak and calling out your name

My Daddy
Oh don't leave me
I beg you sing your song again

That the stars
Up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough (Daddy)
It will be light (Baby)
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry (Baby)
Or call your name
And I won't
And I won't
And I won't
And I won't

Crawl Home



No more
It's done
Crawl home
Get gone
Your love
Is evil
Lonesome
My bones

Took me such a long time to figure it out
Now isn't too late I cant do without
Took me such a long time to figure it out
Don't take it away, away, away

Snow storm
My heart
Crawl home
Your love
Is evil
I'm lonesome
Just dead lonely
Were you there?

Took me such a long time to figure it out
Now isn't too late I cant do without
Took me such a long time to figure it out
Don't take it away, away, away

Come To Me


Come to me
Light on my shoulder
Come to me
Burn your starry crown

My dark angel
I've tried, I can't get over
'Cause when I think I'm climbing
I'm really so far down

Time takes a while, to break ya
And now, only fire can wake ya

Oh weeping willow
Coughing up my heart
Asked God to see my shadow
And kept us apart

Through my mind's every riot, or revelation
You've just now gone
You've just now gone, as I arrive
At every station

Come to me
Either early or late
I've learned this by habit
Now I know how to wait
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me

Colour me grey





Pour yourself into a drink
It's what you think
I don't have anything to say at all
A funny mess, don't you agree
Just you and me
I don't have anything to do at all
Shall we go out tonight
Will that be alright
Shall we search for our fortune and fame
For oil on peaceful waters
Always stings the same

So just stab me in the back
And call me lover
For nothing now can ever be the same
We'll swap stories of past conquests
We'll tell each other lies
And I'll try so hard to shoulder all the blame
Shall we go out tonight
Will that be alright
Shall we search for our fortune and fame
For oil on peaceful waters
Always stings the same

C'mon Billy


C'mon Billy
Come to me
You know I'm waiting
I love you endlessly
C'mon Billy
You're the only one
Don't you think it's time now
You met your only son
I remember
Lover's play
The corn was golden
We lay in it for days
I remember
The things you said
My little Billy,
Come to your lover's bed

Come home
Is my plea
Your home now is
Here with me
Come home
To your son
Tomorrow might never come
C'mon Billy
You look good to me
How many nights now
Your child inside of...
Don't forget me
I had your son
Damn thing went crazy
But I swear you're the only one
Come alone, Billy, come to me
Come alone, Billy, come to me
Come alone, Billy, come to me
Come alone, Billy, come to me
Come alone, Billy, come to me
Come alone, Billy, come to me
Come alone, Billy, come to me
Come alone, and come to me

Civil War Correspondent






Words leave my heart dry
Words can't save life
Love has no place here
No joy, no tears

Darling, time's changed
Time leaves, time fades
Please see through my eyes
Save your tears for the next who dies

I shout but he don't hear
I put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Just send me the light of day
I shout but he don't hear
Just put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Dear god please send me the light of day
Feel his heart wired
Heart like gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire

City Of No Sun


Love me tenderly my darling
In the city of light and truth
For this moment forever sing
For my darling that I love you
City of no sun
No peace in my heart
You left me nothing
You left me broken
What's
What's
What's
Love me
Love me
Outside the fields
In sunlight
The singing breeze
And the silence
Lover release me
I can't feel I can't breathe
No heart no peace
No more nothing
Long day long night?
Love rise
Love rise

Catherine



Catherine De Barra, you've murdered my thinking
I gave you my heart, you left the thing stinking
I'd break from your spell if it weren't for my drinking
And the wind bites more bitter with each light of morning.
I envy the road, the ground you tread under,
I envy the wind, your hair riding over,
I envy the pillow your head rests and slumbers,
I envy to murderous envy your lover
'til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breath
I envy
Oh my Catherine
For your eyes smiling
And your mouth singing
With time I'd have won you
With wile I'd have won you
For your mouth singing
