Three Times and Waving:
SOLD DOWN THE RIVER
Whoever promised rain, I say, they must have felt some shread of doubt Who (and why) could claim forever and then so quietly just bow out? I dare say it happens Let's say they're here to test your strength most of which is already spent I never pray now for myself But can I pray for someone else Idare say it happens I'd like to say don't believe a word I had no idea that a victim sleeps behind the painted smile of the newspaper headlines Don't think that we have ever been so underhand as to take it in It would be serious if ever a wound set in Well I'm sure, with your well healed scars you'll never let that pretty face get dirty again They're selling lies, as I see To fatten up the proceeds They're selling lies, they're wicked lies The point devoured by open mouth with one wrong track as the only way to go.IS IT GOOD NEWS TODAY?
I wouldn't allow myself to take what I want so much I chang my mind almost every day That's something you should ignore Pile on excuses, each like before More like the barrel's dry today There's nothing wrong with myself tonight and there's no time to wander where you don't belong You see it's alright to leave us but not for long you could stay with us maybe but we know that's not what you want you never really stopped I never thought you would because we know that's not what you want Those hours and these days follow shadows into years they come crashing through the wall with alarming repitition Assuming their place as unwanted possessions I know they shouldn't be here at all But I can't forget I won't forget And they won't forget you Are you lost to the weather? Are you?THREE TIMES AND WAVING
----Coming Soon----INTO THE FIRE
Paralyzed, here in my minds eye Here is a place you could call your own If you laugh at the chance then just turn a blind eye Here is a place you could bear your soul But time honoured cynics won't let that be So you'll slip round the back door and ask them all And give them a reason to catch at straws They'll just foster their ideas to string up this optimist Through fortune or error you've coloured the meaning As a matter of course you'll rush through your lifetime turning a blind eye to world weary crossfire Damn you just for this You haven't a word to comfort or crucify Between the lines is that where the truth lies Crippled by virtues borrowed from text books In which God only knows what the author was dreaming of Slaves to pretentions never commit yourselves to favour a notion that isn't based upon second hand news from world weary lips Don't look for direction Just persecute this A long forgotten triumph turns up to force the hand However sure the pretext I find it best to test the ground I'm not able to follow fate If I could only point out, one mistake I've made It's I've relied on luck It's as fickle as the four wind though fuel to the flames That burn out just to tell us What's here today could be gone the next If I could only point out a few mistakes I've made I might just forget just how far I've got not enough... Caught in some line of fire Stick and stones will break my bones Cover me Where are the words to comfort or crucify Here is a place where your best can be not enough not enoughWORKING FOR SPACE
Fall in for goldrush It's all I know Working nights to taste the breadline Three hours sleep, refreshed for morning Oh it's a lifetimes work This taste for money that we have learned I see from your face that you're tempted sometimes to throw in the towel, so frustrated Like a knife in the back The unavoidable fact is that this is the place you've just been through Watching the growth of the forward attack Don't it go slow Working for space when you're working for the other times Don't it go slow Hanging around but we don't hear one word close to god-speed pushing us on When are you going to find the time Waiting on the wire is all you really knowWAITING ON THE WIRE
Your tireless work counts for little here it's so unbelievable all's fair with favour for a favour and they must surely know and they should really know I'm all out of humour and ready to rest the new price of freedom seems more than than I've got it's strange how the new rule seems destined for no goal and what's this sound ringing in our ears? it's just the sound of the wars we don't want to fight for power hungry star eyed prefects shoot blindly from their desks pushing the wheel in a backward motion leading us all somewhere but it's nowhere nowhere but over the edge and they must surely know they should really know it's nowhere in particular nowhere in particular but swinging on a pocket watch it's guns that keep us from sleepDIZZY LIFE
You're getting old and you look the part Don't pretend, say something's wrong Your body burns when smartly dressed Go right ahead until it's calm burning out at arms length Lord I am select tonight You might at least accept for now That note won't touch my skin That note won't touch my skin That note won't touch my skin Oh this dizzy life spoils and turns the knife I have a dream somewhere Thinking of this the song I love .....we're so near we can hear you breathe I have a dream somewhere.... Time flies Time crawls Tell me who you are Tell me what you want Lifeblood is inbred Tell me who you are Tell me what you want Oh this dizzy life spoils and turns the knife whether all forgot favour gained or lostSAY SEPTEMBER SINGS
Run till you drop but you don't have to say a word What's hidden here is an open secret Say September sings I do, I do believe it So what's in store that won't deceive us ? Pulling the spin to a halt to step back and look inside somehow, is this what you thought ? I don't believe you Grind to a halt And you wait to go backwards Ease over there And you want to go forward That's fine by me But do you realize that way... here we are hidden here There isn't a stone you've left unturned.LET'S MAKE A NIGHT OF IT
Come so near I'm watching you fall You're forcing me sideways So far from the rest Far be it from this truth There's no place for the wicked Needing, would set your mind at rest I know you would if you could But time is of the essence With this thread all but lost in thought The days go by so fast It's just that day today Oh, it's just that day today Once tried, never forgotten Two worlds spinning around like it's a field-day All these things stop and turn in my sight And I'm thankful And it's all I know why time should choose which rivers flow And then turn them off like the light And I wonder, I really wonder... If all you, you do so well Then where ever you go I'll go with you All this seems so far away These things that I could share hold secrets still that I can't see Well it doesn't matter now Because it didn't matter anyway you battered your nerves and gave in so easily Working from the idea that it's best to stop than fall let's call this home now Sinking into moments where distraction's for the best we'll call this home now Oh let's make a night of it will the watchdog sound asleep It's alright Slowly we work the thread that's all but lost in thought to the wonder we're all waiting for But it's so far away now
