| ADAM 'N' EVE | AMERICA | |
| The pay-off's on Tuesday I'll follow the crows There's pennies from heaven I don't suppose And I woke up on Thursday And fell for the floor And my sister's a beauty A beauty no more God doesn't know me Or answer my call He don't know me from Adam Or Eve at all And the rich man still chooses To sleep in the hall And he's dying for your company We could give him a call God doesn't know me Or answer my call He don't know me from Adam Or Eve at all |
I'm your waiter, my rule of thumb Appetisers, are two for one And I'm so sorry, what I have done I have made heroes, of everyone I'd wash my hands, if America was blind They'd understand The water turned salty, from songs we sung Beeswax beauty, on everyone Beeswax beauty, my God above My eyes were burning, I looked inside Count out David, what did you find? I'd wash my hands, if America was blind They'd understand There there, the baby arrows There's a warrior coming, on your front There there, the baby arrows But they can't hurt you even if they try There there, they're like baby arrows The more I give them, the more you sigh They're aren't feeling lucky tonight They're a heartbeat that just twists in your eye Eye... I'd wash my hands, if America was blind They'd understand |

| Don't fall in love if you are far away Don't fall in love if they are too close Don't fall in love if you hold onto your things And you know that I love you the most I'm afraid I'm afraid of ghosts And in the hallway I kissed you twice Know you need counselling, some sound advice |

| BEAUTIFUL | BY THE TIME | |
| Bouncy baby you call the law, Call 'em up and tell 'em what you saw. Slowly now so ye made your choice, You're standing up straight and you found your voice. Family ties and forgetmeknots, cross us once and you'll share the cost. Everything to now is beautiful, All I lost and found your beautiful. They might hold us down your beautiful Untrue You're beautiful too... Running scared a teardrop explodes, Coyote lovin when you take off all your clothes, I caught a glimpse of ya late at night, You saw me staring so you turned off all the lights. I met your family, they seem nice Discuss the details and I named my price. Everything to now is beautiful All I lost you've found we're beautiful They might hold you down cause your beautiful and true There's not alot I say is true except the words i say to you... |
And by the time the thought had crossed your
mind What you might have said We end up fighting back We're loosing track and getting out of bed Don't think I know the time Well I have felt like this You think I'd recognise Perhaps a little bit All this time I never cried for you And I still can't And by the time the word was out That you had lost your head We tried to substitute We turned to mute to talk instead And they all want it But they won't lend a hand And we have forgot it yeah But we won't quit the band And we all watch them draw lines in the sand And all this time I never cried for you And I still can't By the time the thought had crossed your mind What you might have said We end up fighting back We're loosing track and getting out of bed Don't think I know the time Well I have felt like this I tried to recognise The thoughts a little bit All this time I never cried for you And I still can't They all want it But they won't lend a hand And we have forgot it But we won't quit the band And we all know it turns to dust in our hand |

| CHRISTMAS BISCUITS | PLACEHOLDER | |
| How are you fixed for Christmas? And who you gonna see? And who ate all the biscuits? The memories, the memories And now you've gone and missed it It's come and passed you by It's a shame that you've eclipsed So let it fly and let it fly I know this is not what you want to hear Some other time, time.. time of year You left me walls and pictures And headed for the sea And another lonely Christmas It's not for me, it's not for me I know this is not what you want to hear Some other time, time.. time of year And when it's up it's down And takes a while look around And of your hopelessness it takes a while I guess And how are you fixed for Christmas? And who you gonna see? And who ate all the biscuits? The memories, the memories And now you've gone and missed it It's come and passed you by It's a shame that you've eclipsed So let it fly and let it fly I know this is not what you want to hear Some other time, time.. time of year |

| FANFARE | PLACEHOLDER | |
| How come you said it be easy Leaving me here on my own? Grandpa called said his got one ball That looks higher. I fought all the fears of the faithful, Crying on your shoulder till dawn, Hope got lost, faith pissed off and Retired. I'm here for the fanfare, I'm here for the slow signs Get up top for the hard sell, Round and round and round. Cindy afraid of the fire, Mama's afraid of herself, Leroy called said it's not your fault Thanks for your help. I'm here for the fanfare I'm here for the slow signs We get up top for the hard sell And then round and round and round. Love that turned on a dime, We have love that turns on a dime... |

| GHOSTS | GINGERMAN | |
| When i laid in the sand I thought about you When you laid in the sand you said you saw I don't know how much time we're given.... Fighting for your right to fail. And then after you left the dream was broken Just your shape in the sand No words we're needed I don't know how much time we're given Fighting for your right to fail. When your driving your boats And your waving me in. Run around with your ghosts Who perpetually grin.. You know god only knows if your calling me home... And I played in your bands And I thought about you You said you'd lend me a hand When you felt you could I don't know how much time we're given. Fighting for your right to fail Your just a nail on a cross With a call coming in Divide your highs and your lows But you won't let me win And God only knows if your calling me home... |
You love the girl, you love the man Who slipped away under the sign? Open your eyes and you'll understand Who broke your back, the gingerman We are only learning to dive You learnt it all when you were five Holding your breaths to stay alive Escape from the heat under the fan Learning to love your Uncle Sam We are only learning to dive You love the girl, you love the man Who slipped away under the sign? Open your eyes I bet you'd understand Who broke your back, the gingerman The sign on the door deserved a hand Holding your breaths to be a man But down on the floor you'll realise The caterpillar-crawls and butter-flies Escape from the heat under the fan Learning to love our Uncle Sam We are only learning to dive Alison, the carousel Broken hearts, another cell Leaving here I'll understand Foreign cars are in demand Alison, the carousel Broken hearts, another cell Leaving here I'll understand Foreign girls are in demand Demand, in demand, demand In demand, in demand And we are only learning to dive We are only learning to dive We were barley learning to dive |

| HERE'S TO YOU | HOLD TIGHT | |
| There once a time I lived alone To find you helplessly Dreaming of thoughts That you had lost so hesitantly Feeding you thoughts When your escaping nice and distantly Waiting for the world To close its eyes upon you Waiting for the light brigade To kiss your lips and set you free And here's to you, here's to you Here's to you, to you Here's to you, here's to you Here's to you, to you Wasn't it good And the music shook you side to side We picked the roses of our choice You and me, you and me child And the crown prince Is the envy of a thousand men 'Cause old blue eyes She's laughing once again Waiting for this world To close its eyes upon you Waiting for the light brigade To kiss your lips and set you free And here's to you, here's to you Here's to you, to you Here's to you, here's to you Here's to you, to you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Here's to you, here's to you |
Let go your instincts Stay awhile, You had your hands full And you have mine tied. Hold tight to me Hold tight come here. Hold tight. In the daytime Your sad and low, But can't cure ya, I thought you'd know. Hold tight to me, Hold tight come here. |

| I FELL | IT BEATS ME | |
| You're good for nothing It helps you win Your creature comforts Won't let you in. And the cook's not cooking The fish won't swim And my blood is boiling When touch your skin I fell Where you fell I fell. I'm through regretting I've lost the touch To win you over It cost too much It's a blind regretting Of all you know Your deep demented That's takes us home I fell Where you fell I fell. And the market The cafe crowd Have turned a deaf ear Aholy shroud. (Your mother scattered your name unknown, Your alabaster is overgrown) |
Did I watch you wash away your life And polish up the forks and knifes And left the kitchen crystal clear Did you put me in my resting place Beside the cups there was no place for fear There's someone calling for me Just see a new talk Don't listen to me We go through the hoops Before you know it beats me Did I watch you wash away your life And polish up the forks and knifes And I watch the crystal disappear Did I try to run to your defence And make some jokes at my expense And watch you boil some water for the sake of it There's someone calling for me Just see a new talk Don't listen to me Hail Mary, motherless grace |

| MID-NITE SUN | MORPHINE | |
| It's like something Like a midnight sun. Will you stay here awhile till the light comes on Cause we're dreaming Your baby got a wandering eye. It's like something Like a foreign taste We'll stay here a while in your mother's place till you leave us For a colder place that's nice And your baby's got a wandering eye Your baby gets to wondering why Your baby 's got a wandering eye When it cools down Put it on my plate And forgive us Though we hesitate Cause we're learning Your baby's got a wandering eye Let's go watch them When they burn the whole damn place And the meet us With their cold embrace But your dressed nice And your baby's got a wandering eye Baby gets to wondering why And your baby's got a wandering eye. And it's late now What ya doing awake? Gotta whisper Cause your soul at stake And we're learning Your baby's got a wandering eye |
light I'm fading your morphine and I can't find your cloud your a cotton world and i'm living -I won't come down. your sulphur kiss I'm waiting I'm not your only child would you steal something for your little piece of grime. and you look like you've lost something is it starting all again ? and you look like you could start something if you'd only say when your leaving |

| NOT LIKE HOME | PLACEHOLDER | |
| When my son cried, the tears could kill a
man I have returned, I've learnt and I understand And I recall, that you were younger then You met your match, and so you married him It's not like home, it's not like home It's not like home Now that I'm here, I feel you everywhere I talked to walls, you start your climbing chair And I recall, you didn't pray for much Now baby's crying, and I'm afraid to touch It's not like home, it's not like home It's not like home Where everything we seek and failed to touch Don't ask me why it hurts that much Now Daddy's gone, there's just an empty space Who sits around, and clutters up the place It's not like home, it's not like home It's not like home Where everything we seek and failed to touch Don't ask me why it still hurts that much Home, home, home, home, home |

| OBI'S CHAIR | PLACEHOLDER | |
| Fire under feet The sensual toe tapping up your street It's torn asunder, it's torn It's in the tombs where lovers meet and They curse the gods that they would seek another It may come later, it may For most of us the summer sun Bikini lines and having great fun For most of us who learn to wake Get left behind in providence too late It's out and over, and out It's carpet burns but we're discrete We haven't learned to hide our faces when we meet And all those things you stole from me I gave them back to your family But they don't know What's got into you 'Cause you forgot to tell them that we're through |

| SOMBRERO | SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME | |
| Well I let her let go of my hand And I don't like you talking about her And your method of righting the wrongs Was calling up your friends at the bureau In five letters you've not said a word But how you bought your friends a sombrero The apple don't fall too far from the tree you see It always, always, it's always on my shoulder Always, always, it was always when you're older Always, always, it's so cold and getting colder The apple don't fall too far from the tree you see The apple don't fall too far from the sea you see |
What a weight it was off you And you're silence saw me though If you come up here you'll see What a mess we've made of this Before you start turning again Before you start going again Before you have something to say I believe I heard it once In violence and tortured songs We hold it out into the bare And realise we've come to late All I can hear is the songs my mother taught me You're the friend I need the most You're the friend I need that close But we let it slip again And it's all broken now you said Before you start turning again Before you start turning away Before you have something to say I believe I heard it once In violence and tortured songs We hold it out into the bare And realise we've come to late All I can hear is the songs my mother taught All I can hear is the songs my mother taught All I can hear is the songs my mother taught me |

| I am surprised to get A letter from you now I living miles from you In the loneliness of south The people here won't see it They like to live alone In the quiet of their evening times I hear their bed boards moaning But Franco has a hold on things And he's not letting go What the Virgin Mary doesn't see She doesn't need to know We find the hole on Centre St. And I stay home all night The buzzer hasn't worked in years Unless you push it right The sun it doesn't shine here It tortures hands in time When there are broken bodies to air I'm burning all the time Your family told me that you'd found A better man than me I hope you'll be allowed to laugh In polite company |
She thinks intuition Is a feeling in her gut What we got tired of waiting for She'll never have enough Suzanne, Suzanne Now she thinks I'm an innocent But I've been 'round the block And it keeps moving uptown So I guess I'll never stop Suzanne, Suzanne, now Suzanne, Suzanne now But while you're gone you'll never find the girl you ought to find Now we're here we get to prop it all up Always want the best for her We start and then we stop You could hold her hand right now C'mon show us what you got Yeah Suzanne, Suzann(a) Everyone here's a movie star But no-one knows which one they are Were you the one I could've written your part Suzanne, Suzann(a), Suzanne, Suzanne When you're gone you'll get to find the girl you ought to find When you'll hear you get to smile the smile you ought to smile Now you're gone don't get to stand before you open wide Suzanne, Suzann(a), Suzanne, Suzann(a) |

| My lover left me She left me too soon I shouldn't blame her much But the state of my room I started stumbling and chasing the bells The metal straps upon my knees Made this sound when I fell And you heard those words from your piers I was just your volunteer I loved my Uncle Georgie Uncle Georgie's my friend He spent his life fishing Washing dishes weekends And I tried to say something sincere Sign me up I'll volunteer My father left me He left me too soon I thought he'd say something Before he waltzed from the room And all I remembered was my hands at my side The face of a woman who once was his bride And all I got left with was tears Seven lonely volunteers We look for Sister Mary Sister Mary's the pale She holds her head sometimes And walks close to the rail She sings on a Sunday And stands on the stairs She haunts me at night time When I've forgotten my prayers And we don't see much of her here A winter weary volunteer The captains need order It helps them stay sane The plumbers hate slaughter It fucks up the drains And hard-hats must be worn at all time on the site It don't make no difference if you're lost in the light The men here make last their career They don't talk to volunteers Oh how your life cuts me And rips through my bones We pretend that it's nothing When we're on the way home And I wish you'd abandoned me here So I can be a volunteer I thought you were dreaming Been listening for days The crime wave it hurts Even though it still pays And Babyface Mendoza and the Bruiser Mandrake Had a plan for re-election using an old Jedi mind trick The Tappan Zee Bridge has grown ears To hear the drowning volunteers Yeah the Tappan Zee Bridge has grown ears I hear the drowning volunteers |
