Dry

Oh my lover

 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
 Oh my sweet thing
Oh my honey thighs
Give me your troubles
I'll keep them with mine
Take at your leisure
Take whatever you can find but
Oh my sweet thing
Don't you know it's alright
 It's alright
It's alright
There's no time
So it's alright
 What's that color
Forming around your eyes
Watch my lover
Tell me that it's all right
Just another
Before you go...go away
Oh my lover
Why don't you just say my name
 And it's alright
Say it's alright
There's no time

O stella

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
Go,
Go,
Go,
Go go,

Stella marie you're my star
In your blue blue tavern you light my lantern
O stella's large
Pink almond face
It's glowing in space

A place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Go
Go
Go
Go go go go

Sstella marie you're my star
I pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now

I think i see her smiling
Think i see her smiling
Think i see her smiling
Think i see her smiling
Go
Go
Go
Go go
Go
Go
Go
Go go
Go
Go
Go
Go go

Dress

 Put on that dress
I'm going out dancing
Starting off red
Glean 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 and the dress is not easy
I'm swinging over like a heavy loaded fruit tree
 If you put it on X4
It's sad to see
Lonely all this lonely
Close up my eyes
Dreamy dreamy music that make you feel alright
Music playing make it good for romacing
Must be a way I can dress to please him
Swing and sway everything will be alright
But he's feeling so down tight tonight
 If you put it on X4
You heard it
My man says
But I bought you beautiful dresses
 You heard it
My man says
But I bought you beautiful dresses
 Filthy type your dress is filthy
I'm falling flat and my arms are empty
Get away better get it out of this room
A fallen woman in dancing costume
 If you put it on X8

Victory

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
At my table
I think how lucky we are
Angel at my table, God in my car
Get it at sea
Take a ship
I'd christen her "Victory"
She'd make it

 Victory, Victory

 Come on boys
Let's push it hard
You bump down, push your motorcart
Come on boys
You done us proud
The sweat, just mop it right off your brow

 Victory, Victory
 Victory, Victory

So the storm is gone
And the temperature's high
And delilah's dining
At my table

 Till the storm is gone
And the temperature's high
And delilah's dining
At my table. hey

 Happy and bleeding

She burst
Dropped off
Pick the fruit
Realize
I'm naked
I'm naked too
 So cover my body
Dress it fine
Hide my linen and lace
Been sewing ever since
Since time began
 More than the hills
More than the trees
More than the mountains, you
More than I can see
In front of me
More than the mountains, you
 So fruit flower myself inside out
I'm happy and bleeding for you
Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm tired and I'm bleeding for you
 This fruit was bruised
Dropped off and blue
Out of season
Happy and bleeding
Long overdue
Too early and it's late too
Too early and it's late too
My body, I wouldn't I would not do
 Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm happy and bleeding for you
Fruit flower myself inside out
I'm tired and I'm bleeding for you
 Fake fruit flower myself inside out for you ( X5 )
{happy and bleeding, happy and...}
Fake fruit flower myself inside out for you
{happy and bleeding, happy and...}
Fake fruit flower myself inside out for you
{happy and bleeding, happy and...}...

 Sheela-na-gig

 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
 Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig

 Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Turn the corner another one there
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before
He said
 Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Put money in your idle hole
Put money in your idle hole
 Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Turn the corner another one there
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Heard it before
He said
 Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Put money in your idle hole
Put money in your idle hole

 He said "wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean"
He said "please take those dirty pillows away from me"

He said "wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean"
He said "please take those dirty pillows away from me"

He said "wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean"

Joe

Joe will you be my buddy please
Stay with me when I fall and die
Always thought you'd come rushing in
Clear the shit out of my eye

 Joe will you be my buddy please
Lay my enemies out in lines
Come in close now I'll wash your feet
With my hair I'll mop them dry

 With my hair I'll mop them dry
Something over there I do not like
There's no use to wondering

 Joe will you be my buddy please
In this hell and day long time
When I'm trusting my hated tree
Coming down with your silver knife

 Coming down with your silver knife
Something over there I do not like
There's no use to wondering

 Plants and rags

Plants and rags
Ease myself into a bodybag
Plants and rags
Ease myself into a bodybag

 I dreamt of a man
He fed me fine food
He gave me shiny things

I dreamt of a man
He fed me fine food
He gave me shiny things

 White and black
You looking for the sun boy
The sun doesn't shine down her
No no no

White and black
You looking for the sun boy
The sun doesn't shine down her
In shadows

 House and home
Who thought they could take away that place
Outside, and they lead us out quietly
Lead us outside, and the lead us out quietly

House and home
Who thought they could take away that place
Outside, and they lead us out quietly
Lead us outside, and they lead us out quietly



Fountain

Stand under fountain
Cool skin, washed clean
Wash him from me

 Along comes the wind
The big bone shaker
Blows off my clothes
Completely naked
What to do
When everything's
Left you

 Out of the blue
It is he
Vision to me
Bearing leaves
Petals green
Covers me
And all my shame

 Hand in hand
He's my big man
Stays with me
Some forty days
No words
Then goes away
I cry again
 On my hill I wait for wind
And on my hill I wait for wind X5

 Water

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
 Water
I'm walking
Walking on
Water
Walking
Walking on
 Lying on eleven years
Taking it into my head
Mary Mary drunk it soft
Living reading what your very man said
Lying on eleven years
Taking it into my head
Leave my clothes on the beach
I'm walking down into the sea
 To prove it to me X3
Now the water to my ankles
Now the water to my knees
Think of him all waxy wings
Melted down into the sea
Mary mary what your man said
Washing it all over my head
Mary mary hold on tightly
Over water
Under the sea
 Water
Water
I'm walking
Walking on
Water
Walking
Walking on

Missed

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

Show yourself to me
And I'd believe
I'd moan and I'd weep
Fall silent at your speak
I'd burst in
Full to the brim

 Mary lost her head
And let it bleed

Came crying back to me
My son where's he been
Don't deny it
And don't you hide him

No I've missed him X4

No words no sign
Mary say I'm not lying
How come he's so big
But good lord he's been hid
Good lord were you hid?
Ha!

No I've missed him X8

Legs

Oh you're divine
Oh you're divine
Oh did I tell you you're divine
Oh did I ever when you were alive
Did it hurt when you left
Did it another boy I'll feed the head
I'll bet you never thought I'd try
Your mouth, my love, was open wide
Singing oh you were going to be my life
Damn it
Oh you were going to be my life
Did you sing 'happy day'
Singing it
Sing it that time I went away
Got to ease my aching head
Do you know
No other way cut off your legs oh
Hey oh
 Did you ever wish me dead
Oh lover boy I'll feed the head
No you must no you must not go away
How will you ever walk again
And I, I might as well be dead
But I could kill you instead

Rub 'til it bleeds

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
Rub it better 'till it bleeds
And you'll believe me
Caught out again
I'm calling you in
Getting it up
And I, I was joking
Sweet babe let me stroke it
Take I'm giving
God's truth I'm not lying
And you'll believe me
I'm calling you in
And I'll make it better
And rub 'till it bleeds
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it ....

Hook

I was blind I was pained
I was nothing till you came
You said babe make you sing
Make you feel like some queen
Said I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
 And rolled in like him back
With a halo of deep black
Til my love made me gag
Called him daddy take my hand
Said I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine
Good Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
 I'm hooked
I'm too far
Oh beautiful
 I'm bound and I'm lame
Life is nothing with his chain
Daddy wait she can't sing
She can't feel she's no queen
Said I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine
Good lord he hooked me
We are untied

Douse hair with gasoline
Set it light and set it free

Highway '61 revisited

( Bob Dylan )

Well, God said to Abraham "kill me a son"
Abe said "man you must be putting me on"
God said "no"
Abe said "what"
God said "you do what you wanna but
Next time you see me coming you better run"
Abe said "where do you want this killing done"
God said "out on that Highway 61"
 Well, Georgia Sam he had bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard "where can i go"
Howard said "there's only one place i know"
Sounds great man, tell me, i got to run
Howard just pointed with his gun
And said "that way down on 61"
 "Well, mack the finger" said louie the king
I got 40 red white and blue shoestrings
And a thousand telephones that won't ring
You know i can't get rid of these things
And he said "now let me think a minute son"
Said "yes that can be easily done
Just take them down on that 61"
 That highway
Highway X4
Now the fifth daughter on the twelve night
Told first father that things weren't right
"My complexion" she said "is much to white"
He said "come here and stare up into the light"
And said "mmm you're right. let me tell the second mother it's been done"
But the second mother with the seventh son
They were out on that highway 61
 Now, the roving gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next world war
And he found a promoter, fell off the floor
And said "i've never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yep i think it can be easily done
Highway
Just put some bleachers there out in the sun
Have it out on that 61
 
50Ft Queenie

You're caught up in my head
Wet sides from time to time

Down by the water

 I lost my heart, Under the bridge
To that little girl, So much to me
And now I moan, And now I holler
She'll never know, Just what I found
That blue eyed girl (that blue eyed girl)
She said "no more" (she said "no more")
That blue eyed girl (That blue eyed girl)
Became blue eyed whore (Big blue eyed whore)
Down by the water (Down by the water)
I took her hand (I took her hand)
Just like my daughter (Just like my daughter)
See her again (See her again)
 Oh help me jesus, Come through this storm
I had to lose her, To do her harm
I heard her holler (I heard her holler)
I heard her moan (I heard her moan)
My lovely daughter (My lovely daughter)
I took her home (I took her home)
 Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter ....

I think I'm a mother

You think you'll come over
I'll give you my number
You lover, supporter
Then give me a mother
You come take me home and
Take me to your doctor
You think you'll come over?
 I think I'm a mother
 Roll over, roll over
And roll me a man-a
You lover, my lover
You just roll me over
You give me a mother
A man if I love her
I love her, I'll keep her
I'll let her just keep her
Come on and support her
I said to the mother
She said you come over
She said she'd support her
I love her, I kept her
And then she just left and
Alone, I emplore ya
 I think I'm a mother
Need your mother, more than ever
Need your mother

** Thanx to Joe who helped me with this one **

Send his love to me

 Lover had to leave me
Cross the desert plain
Turned to me, his lady
Tells me "lover wait"
 Calling jesus, please
Send his love to me
 Oh, wind and rain may haunt me
Look to the north and pray
Send me, please, his kisses
Send them home today
 I'm begging, jesus, please
Send his love to me
 Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell
 Mommy, daddy, please
Send him back to me
 How long must I suffer?
Dear god, I've served my time
This love becomes my torture
This love, my only crime
 Lover please release me
My arms too weak to grip
My eyes to dry for weeping
My lips too dry to kiss
 Calling, jesus, please
Send his love to me
 I'm begging, jesus, please
Send his love to me

The dancer

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 gentil
He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
 Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, I've looked far
To bring peace to my black and empty heart
 My love will stay till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows
Cause I've cried days. I've cried nights
For the lord just to send me up some sign
Is he near? is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
 So long day. so long night
Good lord, be near me tonight
Is he near? is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

Dance hall at louse point

Rope bridge crossing

And i remember everything
Sunrise on a blue horizon
With you, your hand in mine
I remember the things you said

Said, "i'll be waiting, wait thru it all,
Be there to catch you, after the fall
Run through the red light, out of my hair
Run from the darkness here to the day

And i dream of running
And in the dream i myself could run
And i feel the ground beneath my feet
And i move like music,
You move me, like music

Head out of my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "i'd be there"

Now i'm treading very carefully
And i hope that i don't scream
And i hope that i don't fall
Off your bridge, crossing over
Sunny mountain, swollen riverfall
You said "i'd be there"
You said "i'd be there"
Through it all

Head out of my way
Head of to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life

All over my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "i'd be there"

City of no sun

Love me tenderly my darling
In the city of light and truth
For this moment forever sing
For my darling that i love you

City of no sun
No peace in my heart
You left me nothing
You left me broken
You love sell
You love scream
You love seal
You love me
You love me

Outside the fields
In sunlight
The singing breeze
And the silence

Lover release me
I can't feel I can't breathe
No heart no peace
No more nothing
Long day long night
Until the
Love rise
Love rise

That was my veil

It starts at daylight
I see him before my sad eyes
I hear him breathing
Oh lover, need you to lead me
No never thought that you'd leave

That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies

No words can heal my heart
Inside i'm broken, now it's done
Was she a pretty girl
Does she have pretty hair
Was she soft-spoken
Was there a love there

That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies

Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies
Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies
Lies

Urn with dead flowers in a drained pool

I need your lie, darling love lies
And if you gave it to me, i'd hold it in the palm of my hand
Like a good luck charm or a vice
And i'd reach up like a child to receive it

There is no more stand
There is no more lane
I got son on my band
I remember you

Take me inside your wall love lie
And if he took me, i'd hold him up to the light
Like a god, or a good luck charm, or a vice
And i'd open up like a child to believe it

There is no more stand
There is no more lane
I got son on my band
And I remember you

No
There is no more stand
There is no more lane
I got son on my band
And I remember you

And still you can't give your peace to me

Civil war correspondent

Words leave my heart dry
Words can't save life
Love has no place here
No joy, no tears

Darling, time's changed
Time leaves, time fades
Please see through my eyes
Save your tears for the next who dies

I shout but he don't hear
I put down on a page
Darling spare me your tears
Just send me the light of day

I shout but he don't hear
Just put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Dear God please send me the light of day

Feel his heart wired
Heart like gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Can I tell you something
Can I tell you a story
It's about me and Billy
Because I remember
I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he ever owned apart from me
And the color was red
And the color was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
I'm over that now
It was spring or summer sixty five I don't remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

And everybody's father is hated for what he was saying
And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape somehow
He can make joy cut loose inside
I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him,
It just wasn't enough
It was never enough, he'd turn to me and say
He'd, he'd say "even the son of god had to die, my darling"
And he won everything
He won everything
He won the honey for the cane
... back sit...
He used to make me pray
Jesus!
He'd make me pray
And he want me everything
He won the honey for the cane
Say it
"Even the son of god had to die my darling"
Come on, say it!

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Un cercle autour du soleil

She lay
Breathing
Sunshine
Between
Time here
Lingers
Trace with
My finger
A circle, a circle
'Round the sun
The sun X3

No more
Laughter
Since the
Black come
But head down
Get high
Up there's
Blue sky
And a circle, a circle
'Round the sun
The sun X3

Time here
Lingers
Can trace with
My fingers
A circle, a circle
'Round the sun
The sun X3

P.J Harvey :

I was lost in love
I was lost inside
'Till he said to me
You've gotta lovely smile

And i'm saved
Saved
And i'm saved
And i'm saved

Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part

P.J Harvey : Heal me with his hands / J. Parish : ? {she ...}
P.J Harvey : Heal with his heart / J. Parish : She was a ... girl, she got her hair done nice
P.J Harvey : When he said to me / J. Parish : She said "i've given all i got to my healer man
P.J Harvey : No no we'd never part / J. Parish : He put his hands on me, showed me what i am"

P.J Harvey / J. Parish : And I'm saved

When i got my healer by my side
I'm pushing daylight, pushing night

Repeat 'till the end

Is that all there is ?

I remember when i was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And i'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement
And i stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to a fire?
Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And when i was twleve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earthe
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as i sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to the circus

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And then i fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day
He went away
And i'd thought i'd die
But i didn't
And when i didn't
I said to myself
Is that all there is to love

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep

I know what you must be saying to yourselvess
If that's the way she feels about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. i'm not ready for the final disappointment
'Cause i know just as well as i'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And i'm breathing my last breath
I know what i'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Lost fun zone

I believe I am here to stay
I believe his son was sent to save
The fun zone is here
Right free so

Take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time

I don't believe that i gotta die some day
Please take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time

Is this desire ?

Angelene

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

I see men come and go
But there'll be one who will collect my soul
And come to me

Two thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two thousand miles away
It lays open like a road

Dear God, life ain't kind
People gettin born then dying
But I've heard there's joy untold
Lays open like a road in front of me

Two thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two thousand miles away
Lays open like a road

It seems so far away
I see men come and go
Two thousand miles until I reach that open road

My first name's angelene

The Sky Lit Up

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
My hair longer than it's ever been

The sky lit up
The sky
My friend
The sky lit up
The sky my friend
And I'm lighter than I've ever been

I saw the trees crossing the moon
I saw the stars and heaven above
Shine on my own beautiful prayer
Shining on my own beautiful love

The sky lit up
The sky my friend
The sky lit up
I'm lighter than I've ever been

And I'm dancing with him
In this city and in this town
I don't care what he's thinking of
Just take the car, just take my hand

The sky lit up
The sky lit up
The sky lit up
The sky lit up

The Wind

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
And a place where she could wash
And listen to the wind blowing

And listen to the wind blow
And listen to the wind
And listen to the wind blow

She dreamt of children's voices
And torture on the wheel
Patron Saint of nothing
A woman of the hills
She once was a lady
Of pleasure and high born
A lady of the city
But now she sits and moans

And listens to the wind blow
Listen to the wind blow

I see her in a chapel
High up on the hill
She must be so lonely
Oh Mother can't we give
A husband to our catherine
A handsom one, a deal
A rich one for the lady
Someone to listen with

And listen to the wind blow
And listen to the wind blow
And listen to the wind blow
And listen to the wind blow

My Beautiful Leah

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
She went out looking for someone
Looking for someone

She only had nightmares
And her sadness never lifted
And slowly over the years
Her lovely face twisted

Did she come around here, Sir?
I swear you would remember
Black hair, brown eyes
Late september
October, November, December

It never leaves my mind
The last words she said
If I don't find it this time
Then I'm better off dead

A Perfect Day Elise

He got lucky, got lucky one time
Hitting with the girl in room five none 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
The water soaked her blonde hair black

It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise

He got burned by the sun
He's a lucky man
His face so pale and his hands so worn
And the sky
Let himself in room five none nine
As she turned away
Said a prayer, pulled the trigger and cried
Tell me why

It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise

Ah oh, It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise

Catherine

Catherine De Barra
You've murdered my thinking
Gave you my heart
You left the thing stinking
I'd shake from your spell
If it weren't for my drinking
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
I envy to murderous
Envy your lover

'Til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breath
'Til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breath

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
I envy to murderous
Envy your lover

'Til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breath
'Til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breath

'Til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breath
'Til the light shines on me

Oh my Catherine
For your eyes smiling
For your mouth singing
With time I'd have won you
With wile I'd have won you

For your eyes smiling
For your mouth singing
With time I'd have won you
Oh my Catherine
With time I'd have won you
With wile I'd have won you

Electric Light

The beauty of her, under electric light
The beauty of her, under electric light
Tears my heart out every time

Dawn There waiting, right outside
Dawn There waiting, right outside
She tears my heart out every time

Siren rising across the sky
Sirens rising across the sky
Tears my heart out every time

The Garden

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

There, inside the garden
Came another with his lips
Said "won't you come and be my lover ?"
"Let me give you a little kiss"

And he came knelt down before him
And fell upon his knees
"I will give you gold and mountains
If you stay a while with me"

And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place

There, inside the garden
They kissed and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
And he found he was alone

And the wind it gathered round him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking for his song-bird
He was looking for his wings

And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place

There was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place

Joy

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
Into a hollow sky
Came face to face

With her own innocence surrounding her
Until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating
Now she cannot move, no question

No hope for joy
No hope or faith
She wanted to go blind
Wanted hope to stay

"I've been believing in nothing since I was born
It never was a question"
No !

The River

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

Throw your pain in the river
Throw your pain in the river
Leave your pain in the river
To be washed away slow

And we walked without words
And we walked with our lives
Two silent birds circled by

Like a pain in the river
And the pain in the river
And the white sun scattered
Washed away this slow

And we followed the river
And we followed the road
And we walked through this land
And we called it a home
But he wanted the sun
And I wanted the whole
And the white light scatters
And the sun sets low

Like a pain in the river
Like a pain in the river
Like a white light scatters
To be washed away slow

Like a pain in the river
Like a pain in the river
Like the way life scattered
To be washed away slow

No Girl So Sweet

In came the girl with the saddened eyes
And asked him over again and again
"Was I too weak ? Was I a child ?
And can't we leave here and start again ?"
And I love you

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"

"I'd like to take you inside my head"
"I'd like to take you inside of me"
"You came from heaven is all he said"
"You came from heaven and came here to me
And I love you

He drove it fast to make the night
And looked at his angel where she lay
Resting her head and closed her eyes
And outside the heat and the summer fades

Deep in the sky a storm he'd seen
Deep in the sky a storm he'd seen
"There ain't nothing no girl so sweet"

"Took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"Took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"Took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"Took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"Took her from heaven and gave her to me"

Is This Desire?

Joseph walked on and on the sunset
Went down and down coldness
Cooled their desire and Dawn said
"Let's build a fire"

The sun dressed the trees in green
And Joe said
"Dawn I feel like a king"
And Dawn's neck and her feet were bare
Sweetness in her golden hair

Said "I'm not scared"
Turned to her and smiled
Secrets in his eyes
Sweetness of desire

Is this desire, enough enough
To lift us higher, to lift above ?

Hour long
By hour, may we two stand
When we're dead, between these lands
The sun set behind his eyes
And Joe said : "Is this desire"

Is this desire, enough enough
To lift us higher, to lift above ?

Is this desire, enough enough
Enough inside, is this desire ?
