Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright
You can love her
You can love me at the same time
Much to discover
I know you don't have the time but
Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright

Tie yourself to me
No one else, no
You're not rid of me
You're not rid of me
Night and day I breathe
Hah hah ay hey

You're not rid of me

I'm
walking in the city tonight
I'm walking in the city at dark
Remembering, remember light
Thinking of nothing, and the shooting stars
And this world tonight is mine
A world to be remembered in
Think on a faded photograph

I've seen and done things I want to forget;
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat
Blown and shot out beyond belief.
Arms and legs were in the trees.

I've seen and done things I want to forget;
coming from an unearthly place
Longing to see a woman's face

White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you

White chalk sat against time
White chalk cutting down the sea line
I know Mary's by the surf

Dunk you
Under
Deep salt
Water
Bring me
Lover
All your
Power

Bitter branches, spreading out -
There is none more bitter than the wood.
Into the white world it grows,
Twisting under soldier's feet.
Standing in lines in the damp earth underneath,
Holding up their rifles high,
Holding their young wives, who wave goodbye.

In came the girl with the sad eyes and asked him over again
"Was I too weak? Was I a child?" and
"Can't we leave here and start again?"
Said "I don't mind if you take me down" and
"I don't mind if you break it all", but
"How much more can you take from me?"
"How much more can you take from me?"

People throwing dinars at the belly dancers
In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil
People throw belongings a lifetime's earnings
Amongst the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk

Date palms and orange and tangerine trees
And eyes are crying out for everything
(Let it burn! Let it burn, burn, burn...)

His m-bike's clean
He polish that thing
He looks her over
More than me
But I won't let it
Get to me
Yeah he can play with
His machine

The colour of the earth

Цвет земли

Louis was my dearest friend fighting in the Anzac trench
Louis ran forward from the line and I never saw him again

Later in the dark I thought I heard Louis' voice

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

It's already done
I'm down on my knees
Look what you done
You've made a fool out of me

It's already too late
You've given me the taste

He got lucky, got lucky one time
Hitting with the girl in room five O nine.
She turned her back on him facing the frame
Said: "Listen Joe, don't you come here again?"

White sun scattered all over the sea,
He could think of nothing but her name Elise.
God is the sweat running down his back,

He got lucky one time
Hitting with the girl in room 509
She turned her back on him, facing the frame
Said, "Listen Joe, don't you come here again."

White sun scattered all over the sea
He could think of nothing but her name, 'Elise'
God is the sweat running down his back

One day I know
We'll find a place of hope,
Just hold on to me,
Just hold on to me.
Walk tight one line
You're wanted this time.
There's no one to blame,
Just hold on to me.

Death was everywhere,
in the air
and in the sounds
coming off the mounds
of Bolton's Ridge.
Death's anchorage.
When you rolled a smoke
or told a joke,

My first name Angelene
Prettiest mess you've ever seen
Love for money is my sin
Any man calls I'll let him in

Rose is my colour and white
Pretty mouth, and green my eyes

(Thom Yorke)
Can you hear them Можете ли вы услышать их
The helicopters Вертолеты
I'm in New York Я в Нью-Йорке
No need for words now Нет необходимости в словах
We sit in silence Мы сидим в тишине
You look me Смотришь мне
In the eye directly В глаз непосредственно

Farewell my friends
Farewell my dear ones
If I was rude
Forgive my weakness

Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to evening parties
Remember me

Look out ahead
I see danger come
I wanna pistol
I wanna gun
I'm scared baby
I wanna run
This world's crazy
Give me the gun

Bitter branches
spreading out.
There’s none more bitter
than the wood.

Into the wide world,
it grows,

Please don’t reproach me
For how empty my life has become.
I don’t know what really happened,
I watched your disappointment
At being misunderstood.

I forgive you.

C'mon Billy
Come to me
You know I'm waiting
I love you endlessly

C'mon Billy
You're the only one
Don't you think it's time now

I heard our song on the radio
It wasn't long before I think of you
Can't get the sound outta my head
Don't look now it's coming round again

I saved your voice from the telephone
I play it back on the message machine
It really sounds like you're having fun

Catherine De Barra, you've murdered my thinking
I gave you my heart, you left the thing stinking
I'd break from your spell if it weren't for my drinking
And the wind bites more bitter with each light of morning

I envy the road, the ground you tread under,
I envy the wind, your hair riding over,
I envy the pillow your head rests and slumbers,

Dear darkness
Dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover me again?
Dear darkness, dear
I've been your friend for many years.

Won't you do this for me, Dearest Darkness
And cover me from the sun

I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I'm old
And now I holler
She'll never know
Just what I found

Put on that dress
I'm going out dancing
Starting off red
Clean and sparkling he'll see me
Music playing make it dreamy for dancing
Must be a way that i can dress to please him
It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy
I'm spilling over like a heavy loaded fruit tree

I caught it in the face
Coming around again
I thought it was worth waiting
You're caught up in my head
Wet sides from time to time
But mostly I'm just dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry

Stand under
Fountain
Cool skin,
Washed clean
Wash him from me

Along comes the wind
A big bone shaker

Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
But I'd rather have done it with you

Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes

Here I am
Prairieland
Got it all, got
Gun in hand
Here I sleep
Dungarees
They're on my husband
Put 'em on me

I sowed a seed
Underneath the oak tree
I trod it in
With my boots I trampled it down

Grow
Grow
Grow

Oh oh my my my
My man's up all night
Works me till I moan
Drives me out of my mind

Why it's so hard
Must be made out of cold steel
Why it's so hard

I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
I can hardly wait
It's been so long
I've lost my taste
Say angel come
Say lick my face

Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
They pull out of here
They pull, they are free

Rode a horse around the world
Along the tracks of a train
Broke the record, found the gold

Oh dear sweet mama
I'm not feeling well
Can I step out
For a little while?

But I go missing
I steal away
And I go kissing

Joy was her name
A life un-wed
Thirty years old
Never danced a step
She would have left these red hills far behind if not for her condition
'Would have left these red hills long ago if not for my condition'
Pitiful Joy
She looked away

How could that happen?
How could that happen again?
Where the fuck was I looking
When all his horses came in?
And he built an army
Of kamikaze

Ten thousand willing

Oh you're divine
Oh you're divine
Oh Oh Oh did I tell you you're divine
Oh Oh Oh Oh did I ever when you were alive

Did it hurt when you bled?
Did it, oh lover boy, oh fever head?
I'll bet you never thought I'd try

The West's asleep. Let England shake,
weighted down with silent dead.
I fear our blood won't rise again.

England's dancing days are done.
Another day, Bobby, for you to come home
& tell me indifference won.

This Liverpool tide comforts my eyes
Stings like salty tears I've cried
In summer's glow I've found a hope
And another love to come and go

And oh
You never never know

Um-hmmm.
Dunk you under
Deep salt water.
Bring me, lover,
All your power.

I'll be no hell
Out of your spell.

I'm coming up man-sized skinned alive
I want to fit I've got to get
Man-sized I'm heading on
Handsome got my leather boots on
Got my girl and she's a wow
I cast my iron knickers down
Man-sized no need to shout
Can you hear can you hear me now

I need a man
To bring me love
To make me sing
I said I need a man
To make me feel
Like I'm a queen
I said to take me to the god heights
And kiss the devil on the mouth

See it coming
At my head
I'm not running
I'm not scared

Big black monsoon
Take me with you

He should not be hid
He's just too big
In a cloud please come down
I'd put stars at your feet
Put Mars in your head

Show yourself to me
And I'd believe

Above the mountain
The mountain
An eagle
Is flying

High above the mountain
An eagle calling down
To the soldier who falters

Did you see her walking?
Did she come around here, Sir?
Black hair, brown eyes
My beautiful Leah

She was always so needing
Said, I have no-one
Even as I held her

My naked cousin
I see him running
All over headland
Scared as his shit as he's running
His naked skin fries
Fries in the sun, oh my
My naked cousin can cook till he's good
Good and done

Maybe you wonder what it is
Makes people good or bad
Why some guy, an ace without a doubt
Turns out to be a bastard
And the other way about

I'll tell you what I feel
It's just the nickel under the heel

In came the girl withe the sad eyes and
asked him over again
"Was I too weak? Was I a child?" and
"Can`t we leave here and start again?

Said "I don`t mind if you take me down" and
"I don`t ming if you brak it all", but
"How much more can you take from me?"

Stella Marie, you're my star.
Stella Marie, you're my star.
Stand on ground, look up at her.
Just hanging in gold stone,
Just hanging there face froze.

But I think I see her smiling, think I see her smiling,
Think I see her smiling, think I see her smiling.

oh my lover, don't you know it's alright
you can love her, and you can love me at the same time
much to discover, i know you don't have the time
oh my lover' don't you know it's alright
oh my sweet thing, oh my honey thighs
give me your troubles, i'll keep them with mine
take at your liesure, take whatever you can find
but oh my sweet thing, don't you know it's alright

The scent of Thyme carried on the wind,
stings your face into remembering
cruel nature has won again.

On Battleship Hill's caved in trenches,
a hateful feeling still lingers,
even now, 80 years later.
Cruel nature.

plants and rags ease myself into a body- bag
dreamt a man he fed me fine food, he gave me shiny things

white and black are you looking for the sun boy? the sun doesn't shine down here, no, in shadow
house and home who thought they could take away that place? lead us outside, and lead us out quietly

Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
How the world just turns & turns
How does anybody learn?

Mummy, put your needle down

I'm walking slowly
about the sea
lover by lover
i passed along the beach
the sun is shining so bright today
your voice is singing to me across the lies
aah , aah , aah , aah

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know

Tie yourself to me
No one else no
You're not rid of me
No you're not rid of me
Night and day I breathe
You're not rid of me
Yeah you're not rid of me
I beg you my darling

Speak, I'm listening
Baby, I'm your sweet thing
Believe what I'm saying
God's truth, I'm not lying

I lie steady
Rest your head on me
I'll smooth it nicely

Lover had to leave me
'Cross the desert plain
Turned to me his lady
Tell me "lover wait"

Calling Jesus, please
Send his love to me

"No water for three days.
I cannot sleep, or stay awake.

Four months hunger strike.
Am I dead, or am I alive?

With metal tubes we are force fed.
I honestly wish I was dead.

I don't need no lasso
I don't need no ball and chain
I don't need anything with you
Such a shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
Shame is the shadow of love

You changed my life

I've been trying to show you over and over
Look at these, my child-bearing hips
Look at these, my ruby red ruby lips
Look at these, my work strong arms and
You've got to see my bottle full of charm
I lay it all at your feet
You turn around and say back to me
He said

All those places
Where I recall the memories
That gripped me
And pinned me down

I go to these places
Intending to think
To think of nothing

"Snake"

You snake
You crawled
Between
My legs
Said "Want
It all?

In photographs
I've seen him laugh
Man overboard
Sun on his back

Summer was here
I remember it well
How he stood in the shade

The dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

He said dance for me, fanciulla gentile
He said laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true God

Promises, promises
I'm feeling burned
You taught me a lesson
I didn't want to learn

Why did I come here?
Please tell me again
Why did you ask me?

Oh love, you were a sickly child
And how the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around
In the desperate kingdom of love

Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through

As soon as I'm left alone
The devil wanders into my soul

And I pretend to myself
And I pretend to myself

I go out
To the old milestone

I'm walking outside and
The headlights are blinding
I'm walking on Bleaker
The street of no cheer
The yellow cabs driving
I'm taking a ride and
The panic, the laughter, the stink of disaster

and he was walking in the garden
and he was walking in the night
and he was singing a sad love song
and he was praying for his life
and the stars came out around him
he was thinking of his sins
and he's looking at his song-bird
and he's looking at his wings

How is our glorious country ploughed?
Not by iron ploughs
Our lands is ploughed by tanks and feet,
Feet
Marching

Oh, America
Oh, England

Goddamn' Europeans!
Take me back to beautiful England
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages, and battered books,
fog rolling down behind the mountains,
& on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.

Let me walk through the stinking alleys
to the music of drunken beatings,

Put the pen
To the paper
Press the envelope
With my scent
Can't you see
In my handwriting
The curve Of my g?
The longing

Baby, you got a bad bad mouth
Everything is poison that's coming out
Cheating, lying since the day you were born
Someone outta rinse it out with soap

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out

No kind words are coming out of your mouth

This is the Ministry
Of Defence
Stairs and walls are
all that's left

Mortar holes let
through the air
Kids do the same thing

Above the mountain
The mountain
An eagle
Is flying

High above the mountain
An eagle calling down
To the soldier who faulters

I have heard the sound of your call
I have chosen your path
I joined your caravan
We called you the nightingale

I remember how excited we were
The best of life lay ahead for us
We marched on wrapped in your song

I went up to the deep Northwood
Because of fire was in my hair
Thinking of her face, I left
The way she looked as I left her there
Her words still ring in my ears
Thrill is gone after all these years

I went out to the deep Northwood

Hit her with a hammer
Teeth smashed in
Red tongue twitching
Look inside her skeleton

My fingers sting
Where I feel your fingers have been
Ghostly fingers

And they came to the river
And they came from the road
And he wanted the sun
Just to call his own
And they walked on the dirt
And they walked from the road
'Til they came to the river
'Til they came up close

Blue now is the colour
Love the drug I'm needing
Got to keep this feeling

With the headlights burning
We're looking up for something
Answers on the ceiling

[Verse 1]
A revolving wheel of metal chairs
Hung on chains, squealing
Four little children flying out
A blind man sings in Arabic

[Chorus]
Hey little children don’t disappear

Speak to me of universal laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around me people bleed
Speak to me your song of greed

Speak to me of your inner charm
Of how you'll keep me safe from harm
I don't think so, I don't see

Catherine liked high places, high up,
High up on the hills.
A place for making noises like whales,
Noises like the whales.

Here she built a chapel with her image,
Her image on the wall.
A place where she could rest and rest,

I can't believe that life's so complex
When I just want to sit here and watch you undress
I can't believe that life's so complex
When I just want to sit here and watch you undress

This is love, this is love
That I'm feeling
This is love, this is love

This wicked tongue says
God is a million miles away
This wicked tongue says
He can't see my day to day

This wicked tongue says
Go on, taste everything
And this wicked tongue says

I was born in the desert
I've been down for years
Jesus come closer
I think my time is near
and I've travelled over
dry earth and floods
hell and high water
to bring you my love

Oh grandmother
How I miss you
Under the earth
Wish I was with you

To talk to you
To talk to you

Rejection
Rejection
Rejection

Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her
Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her

I stumble and I'm in
You fit me with those angel wings
Set me go
Set me high
Set it up while i'm in the sky
But the storm is gone
And the temperature's high
And Delilah's dining

Tell automatic Slim
Tell razor totin' Jim
Tell butcher knife toting Nanny
Tell fast talking fanny
We're gonna pitch a ball
Down to the union hall
We're gonna romp and trump till midnight
We're gonna fuss and fight till daylight

Water, walking
Walking on water
Walking
Walking on
For years and years and years
Taking it into my head
Living by the right lines
Reading what the very man said

We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
And somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night

The ceiling is moving
Moving in time
Like a conveyor belt
Above my eyes

When under ether
The mind comes alive
But conscious of nothing

White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you

White chalk sat against time
White chalk cutting down the sea line
I know Mary's by the surf

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

In the night I look for love
Get my strength from the man above
God of piston, god of steel
God is here behind the wheel

I'm just working
For the man

People throwing dinars at the belly-dancers
In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil
People throw belongings; a lifetime's earnings
Amongst the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk

Take palms and orange and tangerine trees
With eyes that're crying for everything
(Let it burn! Let it burn, burn, burn...)

On a rooftop in Brooklyn
At one in the morning
Watching the lights flash
In Manhattan

I see fire bridges
The Empire State Building
And you said something

Hey there Luna
I'd like to tell ya
How sad am I
So love sick I could die

Needing water
My neck's stiff, my head hurts
Been looking up all night

Zaz had red hair
He didn't care
He always laughed loud
He wasn't proud
Just a real easy guy
Wouldn't tell a lie
But then one day
Zaz turned blue

Dear darkness

Dear darkness
Dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover
Me again?

Dear darkness
