- Beautiful And Light
Katie feels a snap and switches off the tap
Walks out to fetch the shotgun from the shed
Feels just a little rush and climbs into the car
Slow down a moment
Drives out along the lane and calmly into town
Stops to let the music come around
Walks down to the bank and draws a quiet breath
Slow down a moment
- Bullets
Green hills and enemies
These things they make us sentimental inside
Your words are gelignite
Or just another sentimental aside
We're catching bullets in our teeth
And though it's easy when you know how it's done
They split the secret up six ways before they gave it to us just before dawn
- Don't Look Down Or Back
She rises with the sun
Awakens and undone
The postman passes by
And after thoughts reply, they do
The TV flickers restless
The hours drain away
Blood rushing like a stream
- Hustle
When I come home, you won't be there any more
When I come home, you won't be there any more
And you will tear off your clothes and kiss the floor
When I come home, home, home
When I see land you will conjuror up a storm
When I see land you will conjuror up a storm
And I will tie your hands to the highest mast
- It's Because... We've Got Hair
We don't like it anymore, than you do
We don't like it anymore, than you do
All in the time we'll push the end of the line
We thank you for your life and fulfillment
Thank you for your life and fulfillment
Thank you for your life and fulfillment
And all of the tween will, shall never be seen
And founded by the sons of our children
- Jenny Again
Throw the knife into the stream
Run away across the fields
Leave me lying where I fell
Rivers running out of me
Meet my Jenny in the lane
Take a car and run away
Get as far as you can get
Before the new day
- Magpie Bites
The voice in your head have borrowed songs out from the night
The bullets in your head have lodged discretely out of sight
The broken sticks have found there way into your covered eye
The rabbits throat is open underneath the swollen sky
The semi drunks of bitter men have turned into the wind
The great machines are on there way the ships are rolling in
The raven stands together deep and torn the station hand
- Mother's Daughter
Young girl stuck to the water
Time will tell if you're your mother's daughter
Time will tell if you're your mother's daughter
Stone boat adrift on the ocean
Rows for the shore with the devil's devotion
She rows for the shore with the devil's devotion
Red girl picture was broken
Stand in the glass the angel's in motion
- Out The Window With The Window
Oh... I was smart, drunk, alright
Oh, I remember, oh, oh, oh
You walk in the park, you look at the sky
Sit on a pillow, count up the stars in your head
Damn love than beauty, odd beauty, love, life, love
Out the window with the window
- Song of the Sea
My old transistor radio buzzing
Hot crazy island dirty she does it
I love this city but does she love me
Work for a paycheck
That burns up on rent day
No sweeter evil would I wish come my way
Bring me song of the sea
- Surprise me
We'll come around when the sun falls down
We'll slow retreat from the soft wet heat
We'll amble down when it's all washed out
The burned up the sold up the fools and clowns
We'll say goodnight to the long day's sky
We'll give our souls up to old July
We'll watch the girl with the long soft sigh
You'll come alive with those late night eyes
- Take
All eyes ablaze
We saw her in the old light, whoa, in the old light
Seventy years to fly closer to sunlight, whoa, to the sunlight
She sings to the stereo, making dirty pictures with her hands in the lamplight
And knows where the mourners go
We'll sing a coronet, bringing her back from the grey light
Climb through the car of girls
- tale from black
She washes all the young blood from her hands in the sink
And she knows that the lights will be there for her
Breaks down the bodies to dark subtle ink
And she scrawls on the parchments that hang in the air
She rides a horse over stones in the night
And she closes her eyes and lets go of the reigns
- The Pioneers
If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time
We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard
- weekend Away
Wander through the wreckage, of the dancing flaws
Faces turn in the light
A stranger on the brink of love, love
Confusion near delight
A cup of something warm in the dead of night
We're friends in need indeed
Lies that only flatter love, love
They whisper until we bleed
- With Whiskey
He believed in you
Remember when he said:
"Words are always hard to manage,
can't get out of bed"
Now hear him
Through the empty city
He swept you off your feet
