Say what you want, say what you will, he’s only a soldier man coming home
I remember them saving our souls, everything was gold, everything was cold
The system was crazy, I don’t remember how it went
And everything was laid out to dedicated lives
I lay down so that there’s nothing left
Somebody crying at the table again
I never thought about it before, but now it’s there troubling me
Troubling me, troubling me
It’s a candlelit life when you don’t think twice
Everything crazy in my mind
You never lie, you never even try, you don’t despise or criticise
You never lie, you never even try, you don’t despise or criticise

Nutter

Careful how you pace yourself, careful where you wander
Careful how you pace yourself, careful where you wander
I think I saw you stranded, I think I saw you stranded
Careful where you place yourself, place yourself
Careful where you place yourself, place yourself
You never know what’s around the corner
You never know if it’s a nutter
You never know what’s around the corner, is it a nutter, nutter, nutter?
You said you wouldn’t love me, but you did, you did
I said I wouldn’t love you, but I did, I did
You were there on the corner of the street when I saw you looking lonely
The corner of a street there I saw you looking lonely, lo, oh, oh, oh, ly
Arguments are nothing but sad. I love you with my heart and soul
Everything was uptight before, nothing was quite ironed out
Everything was uptight before, nothing was quite ironed out
You know, you know, you know, you don’t remember, you can only see it once
But you remember the things that make you laugh
Everything was uptight before, nothing was quite ironed out

Somebody's Hands
04:02

It doesn’t matter how you stand up, stand up with your feet
It doesn’t matter how you wake up, falling to your knees
If everything was working out, you would never wait
Things you want to say to me
Somebody’s hands, somebody’s hands
Some days you would sympathise, sympathise with me
Some days I would empathise, empathise for free
When everything was working out, everything was free
Things you want to say to me
Somebody’s hands, somebody’s hands
Somebody’s hands, somebody’s hands
Somewhere in my memory you are there
Somewhere in my memory you are there
Repeat after me, repeat after me, repeat after me, repeat after me.

Nails

Funny how you wait all day, falling into sleepless states
Funny how you tread the nails, waiting for the one that wails
Funny how you’re last to know, the chemicals in the blood
Sharpening the razor blade, make another cut for love,
Make another cut for love
Can it be in your faith, underneath, underneath your nails
Funny how you never said all the things inside your head
Careful when you creak the boards the things that keep you up for love
the things that keep you up for love, the things that keep you up for love
Can it be in your faith, underneath, underneath your nails
Funny how you tread the nails, waiting for the one that wails
Sharpening the razor blade, make another cut for love
make another cut for love, make another cut for love

The Water
04:20
|

|
The smiles, the jokes, the laughter, the tales of where you’ve been
You tie them up with ribbon and feel the ghost within.
Unleash your own compassion and empathise with friends
A solitary teardrop a heart is on the mend.
Don’t trap your own emotions and advertise your needs
In time the scar is healing, embrace the Golden Fleece.
The water washes over the ripples in your mind
How calm you find the passage when carried by the tide
When carried by the tide……..

Fatal Blow
05:07
|

|
Fatal blow, everything that grows, when your face is in the mud
Fatal blow, everything that grows,
all the things that show you would never end
A fatal blow, everything that grows, you would never know
It’s time your face unwinds
Fatal blow, everything you know, oh, oh
The things that make you grow, oh, oh
It’s fine, your faith unwinds
Fatal blow, everything that grows, fated by the ones that know
You’re gracefully divided by the womb

You and Me

t’s you and me, those little things come and go with everything
It’s you and me, you and me
We come and go like everyone the little things that make it right
It’s you and me, you and me
It’s you, you and me, we seem to feed this wheel
You, you and me, we seem to be released
You and me, it’s everything anyone would ever dream of
you and me, you and me
It’s up to you, not up to me, I’ll telegraph what you would think
It’s down to me, down to me
It’s you, you and me, we seem to disagree
It’s you, you and me, we kneel to disbelieve
It’s those little things we must redeem
all of this would never be just a dream, just a dream
it’s you and me, we’re out at sea
the captains of our industry
just you and me, just you and me
It’s you, you and me, we seem to feed this wheel
It’s you, you and me, we seem to be released (repeat chorus end)

Train Song

I went out hunting, hunting for the bear, I went to the forest to find him there
I went out hunting, hunting for the bear, I went to the forest, I found him there
There were brown bears sittin’ in the trees
There were grizzlies hopping through the bees
There was a white bear watching me, there was a white bear watching me
I went out hunting, looking for the bear, I was in the forest staring at the track
I went out walking, find the grizzly bear
All I saw were vultures circling round my bloody head
There were brown bears sittin’ in the trees
There were grizzlies hopping through the bees
There was a white bear watching me, there was a white bear watching me
This is the train song
There were brown bears sittin’ in the trees
There were grizzlies hopping through the bees
There was a white bear watching me, there was a white bear watching me.
This is the train song

Waking Hour
04:17

Those times when you said it’s time for bed again
Those times when your head lost the thread again
But I don’t want to stray from this waking hour
And I don’t want to stray from your arms
It was something rather brave feeling this way
And feeling like it doesn’t matter now, it doesn’t matter now
Those times when you cry let me try again
Those nights when you slide into bed again
But I don’t want to stray from this waking hour
And I don’t want to lead with my heart
When your lullabies have gone, when your heart is out of touch
You’ll remember the ones over the hill
But I don’t want to stray from this waking hour
And I don’t want to lead with my heart
When your lullabies have gone, when your heart is out of touch
You’ll remember the ones over the hill

Moth Man

Outside the house, in the distance, we heard the sound of a bass beat
We headed out to the wonder of it all
Walking through fields, in a cloudscape, three forty-five in the morning
This is the place where we all can get away, we all can get away
The moon shone on the jigsaw clouds
Through the dark, very quiet, the moth man came to life
Moth man have you lost your way? Do you see that light?
That’s the next direction you should take
Laughing out loud, we were wondering,
Where was he from and where’s he going?
He came along and made it alright, he made it alright
The moon shone on the jigsaw clouds
Through the dark, very quiet, the moth man came to life
Moth man have you lost your way? Do you see that light?
That’s the next direction you should take
We had a smile like the moonbeams, playing our songs ‘till the daybreak
We got too tired and we fell asleep at last
We got too tired and we fell asleep at last
