- Big Surprise
So it hurts-well,big surprise
get up, go and cut those ties
you're nothing to her now
Eleven years all up in smoke
was it really just a joke?
Mistake's too small a word
so small,I've never seen you quite so small
- For Free
good genes from a good family
blue blood and a proud pedigee
they'd given all they could give
expectations to outlive
all full, too tired to lie
plain sick of ma's apple-pie
approaching critical mass
fractured just like glass
- Frances
Lean on me won't you,
trust me for a while
she said "I think I'm cured now"
I touched her nimble fingers
she was shaking like a leaf
I suppose she got what she needed
a kid that wouldn't listen
a kid that had no fear
- Hey, Jane
And when he calls
You'll take the blame
And when he leaves
It'll still feel the same
It hurts me too
The way you try for him
The way you die for him
- Kingdom of Oblivion
keep my sky blue
I know I need to keep my hopes alive
we all need to calm our waters
our sons and daughters all need to survive
and when the fog comes down and wraps me in its warm embrace
it keeps the pain at bay, the poppy always gives us grace:
- Lady May
she was never ever here before
but she will meet you when you reach the door
a hello or a farewell?
she won't show and she won't tell
make your choices quick: choose wise, choose well
Lady May, sweet Reynardine,
come on out and make the morning shine
- Nothing to Say
With words big as headlines
The Gospel according to you
Is broadcast on frequencies
Too frequent to see through
But you've got
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
- S Numbness
I only feel my numbness
When I'm touching you
It doesn't really bother me
But every now and then
I get that feeling again
Love is such a lonely thing
It's never really shared
- Serpentine
Serpentine
Reeling offbeat on the all time high
Pushing enveloped detoured rollercoaster rides
Took a night to remember and a day to forget
We never bothered talking...
Strolling zigzag and around the bends
Put all trust in lucky charms,beginning with the end
I called up a candlelit romance and read
- Step Inside Again
You look at me
But you still can't see
You're blind and scared
Inside your lairs
No need to hide
Come step inside
It's new years day
- The Other Fool
Although the time is never right
it's only ever clear at night
her teeth looked like plastic when I peaked
There's tumors right behind their eyes
their poison tongue tell only lies
there's blood on the hands that feed and I
swear I saw a tattoo on her thigh
- The United Debased
the center's dissolving at empire's end
sandcastles crumbling you can't defend
building a wall but for foe or friend?
the little big dream is all torn and frayed
is it all worth it, the price you've paid?
dreaming of freedom but living afraid...
- Tuesday Morning
The swans are arriving
The moon is on the rise
Warm winds are blowing
The bite from winters white lies
The nights smell of blossoms
Making me forget the decay
I swear almost choked me
This Tuesday in May
- Un chien d'espace
Don't break the illusion
I love you the way I dream of you
I don't want to know
I'm happily guessing like dreamers do
By keeping me blind, funny valentine,
you show me who I am
and make me like what you see
