i Don't Want To Know The Time I Don't Care About That At All

Don't she seem
Like some faded picture
And don't she stare
Sad as the still, wide ocean
Over me
Came all the rain and lights
Over me
- Drive
Smack, crack, bushwhacked.
Tie another one to the racks,
baby.
Hey kids, rock and roll.
Nobody tells you where to go,
baby.
- Grey Lynn Park
Though they say no heart can break
There ain't no end to trouble two can make
Been through a thousand yesterdays
Not every step I can retrace
Now I'm walking in the dark
In Grey Lynn Park
- Here Come the Dead
HERE COME THE DEAD
Well listen up 'cause here they come
They're filing out one by one
They're climbing all down your halls
They're seeping in through your walls
You'll want to laugh, but you'll cry instead
- House of Spirits
I've been laying in this wreck since the dawn of days
And it's been playing with my head in a million different ways
I hardly ever get a minute to my thoughts alone
Before they're clambering on the roof or making something out of bone
Well since they made this their home
It's no longer my own
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby.
- Iodine and Iron
Ain't it useless to fight
Or to pretend
That it'll all come out right in the end
So you wait for me
I who've only time
Yeah you wait for me
- Jesus
How do you preach the word if you don't know how to read
They hold your soul once you sign the deed
Would the sun still rise if there’s no-one round
Would the fox be as quick if he hadn’t his hound
Let him go from me
This whole world spins with her feet off the ground
- Jesus For The Jugular
How d'you preach The Word if you don't know how to read
Where will they hold your soul once you've signed the deed
Would the son still rise if there was no one arnoud
Would the fox be as quick if he hadn't his hound
Let him go
Let him go
Let him go, for me
- Lavinia
See my love asleep on the floor
In a pose that's familiar
See, my son, we'll send you to war
If the battle don't kill you
But I've a change in mind
She's calling all the time
- Need is Water
B-side from the Guiding Light's single of the first album 'The Runaway Found'
It's fox hunting season and I've got my hound
I just had a close, close shave
Wedding bells are ringing blue murder
Please
Please
Please Please Please
- Not Yet
Mama when she'd ride that horse Buried out in Wilson fields Mama'd tell me all she thought Mama'd tell me all how riding feels
And I thought Not yet.
Then when mama got too old No one ever rode that horse Until one night I stole her key And I did ride it all night 'till dawn
When I thought Not yet.
- Nux Vomica
What Say you, Lord For the olive boys down in the house of corrections As they try for love and any form of ascension Am I on the right train headed in the wrong direction? What say you Lord What say you Lord
Do you think it wrong Do you see a long road with no one on it And the right of men that you only learnt to forget You see my sad wife and my high margin of profit But you don't care at all You don't care
What say you Lord Now that they're breeding all our animals insane And the remedy is growing harder to obtain There's a white horse running wild through the switch-cane I can hear him now And I fear him
'Til Kingdom come Cauight in this frenzy of elimination Such an irreparable disintergration My body's twitching with a ready expectation For Kingdom come My Kingdom!
- One Night On Earth
I shook from my dream I wasn't here
To shake from my own sight
Shake, ache from the light of everything
Shake for that which sinks but can't drown
Your face
It will not be back again
Oh fate, your face
- Pan
I knew you'd starve in heaven and I'd pray for your release
There's and angel at my table and a devil up my sleeve
With nothing on, nothing but a smile
With nothing on, nothing but a smile
I knew your prize was empty
And that they're waiting on your need
Piano white and wide and empty
- scarecrow
Hung by the old field
The night in his eyes
And the road by his side
He's trying to show me
Who's alive in both cities
Barely on fire
- Sit Down By The Fire
Born from the night in the roaring wind
Cast out of the shadows by an unknown hand
Warmed by the light of these falling limbs
Drunk on the sadness of a universe unmanned
Across the water she clings to me
and in the rising calm I feel her at my side
My father's singing in the fallin' leaves
- Sun Gangs
Some say you'll never be gone forever
Some say there's music where you go
I've no faith in my heart, tell two apart
Ocean above from sky below
Where I am going you can't save me
Don't wake me honey for love nor money
- Talk Down That Girl
Seven moons for seven seas
won't let them get the better of me
they'll pass me by
don't pass me by
my seven fears all fear of me
they'll take their leave eventually
well they can try
they can try
- Talk Down The Girl
Seven moons for seven seas
Won't let them get the better of me
They'll pass me by
Don't pass me by
My seven fears all fear of me
They'll take their leave eventually
Well they can try
- The House She Lived In
The house she lived in
Is now all we're left with
It'll take a lifetime to pay for this
All the nuns were singin'
And the crowds were immense
All the papers wrote it a different way
Those known desires
- The Leavers Dance
Berenice
My hands and feet are worn
As much as yours are
And though my head, my hands, my heart are forming
They still feel worlds apart
Berenice
Beneath it all you're golden
- The Letter
All the night her dream
Passes by my bed
Undeniable and all she said
She wrote the letter
Hard to find love
Since you arrived here
Harder to find the love
- The Stars Came Out Once the Lights Went Out
I'm caught between the pen and the page
Lost in the remains of the age
Daddy when you were young was it all this strange?
Fear's inching up the ridge of my spine
The talking clock reminded me
I've never felt all myself and I don't know why
- The Wild Son
Your knives are sharp
When you put them in my heart
Though the truth, you'd say,
Is I like them there that way
From this hoodlum skin
I can always run to him
Undeserved, capsized
- The Wishbone
I said I wanted summer and the morning brought the sun
I said I need a lover and by the next night I had one
I said I wanted a hurricane and the wind blew hard and the wind blew strong
Careful what you wish for
Tearing back the wishbone
I wished to live forever but ain't that hard for you and me
- Through the Deep, Dark Wood
Well she said, baby,
Come on and take my hand
You know that lately
You've been my only man
And all that I wanted
Is for you to see
Come on now, my love
- Total Depravity
I asked our father and he said
It don’t get no easier once you’re dead
This whole universe is just mud and bone
And you carry what you can alone
There’s total depravity staring back at me
There’s total depravity standing right in front of me
- Under The Folding Branches
There I knew you once, didn't I?
And the sound of that music travelled
to me from that orphan sky
and pulled it all in my vault
Love hide me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
- us in leaves
Feeling kinda feline
A battle down the middle road
You're never in my arms so long
Still it makes no difference now, for you
Who you're thinking of?
Oh, is it me or not?
Oh, why must we applaud them?
- Vicious Traditions
I'd pull my weight if it made any difference
he gave his life for the nine million others
but on his graves written here lies Joseph
his countrys gun and innocent soldier
fight your way out of this one
he grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions
