- 4 Men
Stars are falling down
Onto this broken-hearted hungry clown
Because he cannot get his fill.
Never thought that he would ever
Want this much from a man,
But love is the steepest sharpest slide.
Oh here he'd lie at your side
Looking up into the sky
- Drive That Fast
You stand here in my place
Feel the warmth upon your face
Stand back and start to smile
You now have time, you now have will
I would never want to leave this country
Where rules are fast and knowledge easy
I would never want to take you with me
- Gorgeous Love
I can feel the waves of your gorgeous love
And it hurts to think that this is seen as wrong.
I can take your pain, anything, to overcome our fear
And we're strong, strong enough to prove it.
I notice things about you as the morning kisses your eyes
How your face relaxes through the caress of night
How in the evening it's tense and pulled features
- He Holds Her, He Needs Her
Restless in the arms of the one she loved to hold.
Pulling back as if to say I need space, let me alone.
She cannot leave him being the man he is.
When he holds her he tells her that he needs her.
Restless in the arms of the one she loved to hold.
Pulling back as if to say, I need space, let me alone.
She wakes to the sound of growing fear outside.
- Her Last Day In Bed
The look of death is in her eyes
Sunken dry glazed and calm
Unable to smile or frown
Softly she's lying waiting to go
Like browning in the sun
Me? I'm watching to see what happens
- Margaret's Injection
Love is our large concern
But that's become difficult to share
She cannot open her eyes
They've been glued by greed
I'm not in the habit of hurting a person
Never relished violence
Margaret, it's time for your injection
- Polaroids
Here are several pictures and pictures mean the past.
Here's a pretty desert scene and here a sea of grass.
Likely orchards and vacant lots, big men grinning and holding hands.
All the time the season's win and everything is lost
Something said's been said before but it's often worth repeating.
All the times that made the world are slipping into forgetting.
How are you and what did you do before you started thinking?
- Prince Of Mars
Hide him away from the backhand of angry
He'll sit quietly as the fizzyness flows around
Never seen wars before, never been to a party
He says "they laugh like balloons, they dance like baboons
They're so different when it's dark"
Hiding away as the noise gets louder
Watching the people loose in the corridor
Too many questions
- Prize
Well, we were talking and we were drinking
Letting the fat flow go
And we were asking and we were thinking
In the belly of a bar
It was easy almost indifferent
Until my heckles rise
What's that you're asking if I remember?
- Quick As Rainbows
As she walks home tonight
To her house and ignores the stars
She knows there's no-one waiting
Tomorrow isn't clear enough
To give her strength or make her want
To wake and walk in the morning.
- Railwayed
Softly something comes
The train into the station
She has often waited
And wondered if he'll come
Why has he kept her waiting
Hell from coming home now
Was it trouble ...
Or a brand new family
