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

Claudine

Nail my beard to the bathroom door

Um yeah, I'll be, my my my my my Mr. Heaven (scream blue murder)
My god, I'll be, my my my my my Mr. (scream blue murder)

Scream blue murder
Scream blue murder

Broken Homes



Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
We lose our voice more each year
Maybe we won't bring soon
Is there cancer in the throat?
No stress
Maybe it's supposed to kill the success
Because success needs killing
Murder is media
False laugh, forged autograph
First my body, now my corpse

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Alive is pain, murder is fame
And if you're famous you may get acquitted
If you did it
There's nowhere to run away
Damn you, I hope you pay
And finish the day-to-day
The games we play

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
I must stay at home
And talk on the telephone
Cause nothing in this world I want from you
Don't fool yourself, I won't cry
Too scared to live
Too quick to die

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes

Bitter little bird


I will change
I will transform
I will turn myself
Into a bitter bird

Bitter life fly
To your garden
Bitter life sit
By the lilac tree

I will change
I will transform
Don't shoot me down
This bitter bird

Bitter life fly
In through your window
And bitter stories why
To your sister tell

Oh this sister tell
What are your sorrows
And ask of us of ours

Before the poison


Before the poison
I wasn't down
If you'd been there
If you'd been around
I couldn't hear
Couldn't hear a sound
I was floating
Above the groud

Before the poison
I'd lost my fear
Maybe too happy
To even care
Safe in my dream
Couldn't see the fall
Coming on, coming from nowhere
My name to call

No more to say
Nothing's coming my way
No you, no me
No more how can it be?
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
This is the end
What's left for you my friend?

Before the poison
I'd laugh out loud
I'd see your face
In any crowd
But speak sofly
Without fear
Hold on, to me
Hold me near
No more to say
Nothing's coming my way
No you, no me
No more how can it be?
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
This is the end
What's left for you my friend?

Baby in a plastic bag


There was a man who told us all about his yesterdays
He said that come the come, come revolution praise
And though we talked about him, walked about his yesterdays
No crack could snap the fact, he bore them all the way
What a day

Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Calling out and falling out with everyone
He saw no application for this summering
Although it hurt a lot and burned a lot of offerings
No calling... turned the granary

Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace

Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace

In a white room, in a warm man
Warm bizarre
Come and get me
Come and get me
Hang it on, hang heavy
Come
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Airplane blues




My man's a pilot on the Birmingham airplane line
I say my man's a pilot on the Birmingham airplane line
When he comes to see me, my man sure comes a flying
I know that my flying man ain't true to me
I know that my flying man ain't true to me
But he's as true as any man can be
He takes me flying, flying, right up to the sky
He takes me flying, flying, right up to the sky
When I'm riding with my man, lord, he rides me so high

First he turns me over then he starts to loop the loop
First he turns me over then he starts to loop the loop
Takes a long long time till his wings begin to droop
He flies me slow, he flies me fast
And I'm hoping, I'm praying he don't run out of gas
So if he ain't true, there's nothing I'm gonna say
Cause I ain't gonna let a man that good fly away

A girl like me


Hot skin in the night
And the hour when the animals are born
Crimes of passion are committed

Take me to the morning light
Take me to your leader

It took a girl like me
To bring you to your knees
It took a girl like me

You were my heart
You are my only heart
But this cold air is killing me
And as we make love
The silence, the silence
Trying to find a thread of a failed romance

It took a girl like me
To bring you to your knees
You take a girl like me

I strained my face towards the sky
You put your hand over my mouth
Oh take me, take me to the frozen north
Skating, falling, falling down, down, down
Into icy water

I'll be what you want me to be
To bring you to your knees
Your lover, your daughter
We'll move in slow motion
Falling down, down, down
Into icy water
You took a girl like me

I might never leave this room again
Shut myself inside the old photographs
Faded light of a young girl
Patterns, shadows on the walls
Painted ladies
They look a lot like me

It took a girl like me
To bring you to your knees
You took a girl like me

Who will love me now?


In the forest, is a monster
It has done terrible things
So in the wood, it's hiding
And this is the song it sings

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"

(Who will love me now?)

Who will forgive and make me live again?
Who will bring me back to the world again?

In the forest, is a monster
And it looks so very much like me
Will someone hear me singing?
Please save me, please rescue me

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"

(Who will love me now?)
(Who will ever love me?)

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?

Who The Fuck? (4 Track Version)


Who the fuck do you think you are
Get out of my hair
who the fuck do you think you are
Comin' round here
who the fuck who the fuck
who the fuck do you think you are

Get your comb out of there
Combing out my hair

I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
No!

Who the fuck you tryin' to be
Get your dog away from me!
What the fuck you thinking of
Sure ain't nothing to do with love

Who who who who
Fuck fuck fuck you

I'm free, you'll see
I'm me, you'll see

Who who who who

Wait


I thought that if I waited, things might happen
There was no need to move myself, whats happening to me?
I sit around, and sit around, my legs are underneath me
Sit around, and dream around the things I'm going to be

But I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen today, might even happen tomorrow
Everyone is waiting, everyone was sighting
Ways of moving slowly, but nobody is moving

But I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen when you are looking out the window
Might even happen when you are walking down the stairs

All i seem to do is wait
Waiting for buses, waiting for trains
But my bus is always late
All i seem to do is wait
Spend my life anticipating things that will never happen

My god I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

30


Over my body the shadows played
It wasn't night and it wasn't day
Counting something, what have I found?
Thirty diamonds in my hand

Thirty miles, the world unfolds
Thirty miles, a pot of gold
I often think of America

I often dream of shooting a gun
Thirty years, I'm still a child
Looking for something in a smile

Thirty miles, the world unfolds
Thirty miles, a pot of gold
Listen here, in my song
Thirty miles won't be long

Thirty diamonds, birds of fire
Sparkle like the summer sky
Thirty diamonds, thirty miles
Looking for something in your smile

I'm looking for something in your smile
I'm looking for something in your smile

The Phone Song


If I could tell you anything
I would tell you something
If you, if you could miss it

That's the loop
It can be broken
That's the loop
It can be broken

If I could tell you anything
If you, if you could allow it
If you, if you could hear me
That's the change
Changes can happen
That's the loop
It can be broken
That's your heart
It can be open
That's the loop
It can be broken

That's the change
Changes can happen
That's the look
It can be broken
That's your heart
It can be open
That's the loop
It can be broken
