Heligoland

in heligoland my ship has just come in
in the docks, where the seagulls flock, off-loading all our sin
in heligoland where all roads seem to end
in the square, i'll see you there, and sell you to my friend
(chorus)
i've heard the tales of this long lost place
where love will take your hand
no matter where you look for me
i'll always be in heligoland
in heligoland they sky's so crystal clear
in the clouds, the planes are loud, making me disappear
in heligoland our paths will never cross
in the woods, changing moods, counting what i've lost
(chorus)
i'm the breeze in the trees
i'm the apple of your eye
i'm the ache in your heart
i'm the finger in your pie
i'm heligoland
i'm the turn of the tide,
i'm the voice of your dreams
i'm the lump in your throat
i'm the son of your beams
i'm heligoland

Black Ice

i don't mind what you say to me
'cos i've got a mind, that splits in two or three
you'll never find the real heart of me
she doesn't care what she does to you
she only cares, that what you say is true
she'll never find the real heart of me
spinning out of control
i'm spinning out of control
you got a smile to melt the blackest ice
she won't smile, won't listen to my advice
she'll never find the real heart of me
we got time to find the sunny day
all the time, you drive the clouds away
we'll never find the real heart of me
spinning out of control
i'm spinning out of control

These Island Eyes
02:26
|

|
a single point of light
shines in the distance
just the wind at my side
as i walk along the shore
so i stare out to sea
towards these island eyes
(chorus)
you say you saw the wood
i say you saw the trees
you were pushed along by the wind
i was carried by the breeze
a single drop of rain
is at home in the ocean
a startling realisation
is buried way down deep
and everything is blue
as these island eyes look at you
(chorus)
we hear the sea
and we took a dive
into the depths
of these island eyes

The Maiden Cried
03:23

i was too late; the maiden cried
i stayed in on a friday night
books to read and books to write
i was alright; the maiden lied
no need to hide
though the carnival is calling
don't make me go back to that place
the bright lights are appalling
and they're shining right in your face
i'm much happier yawning
in my own dark little space
nice to see you; the maiden lied
i went out on a friday night
i just thought of something better to write
f*ck you all; the maiden cried
no place to hide
the carnival is packing up
they decided to pass me by
the big city is cracking up
the dust settles in my eye
empty jugs stacking up
as i wave them all goodbye
trumpeters and jugglers
knocking at my door
a mad corsair and his dancing bear
are banging on my floor
bearded girl and lobster boy
are texting me on my phone
but super stan, the psychic man
just knows to leave me well alone

Azure Ray

dawn is minor, there's nothing finer, than the break of day
dawn is waiting, anticipating, what you're gonna say
i hope it turns out alright
and the shadows are just part of the night
take a first step
and breath in the air
take a look around
dawn is everywhere
dawn is major, he hasn't paid ya, now the work's begun
dawn is breaking, his heart is aching, for his rising son
i hope it turns out alright
and the shadows are just part of the night
take another step
and drink in the sun
feel it all around
dawn is everyone
dawn is leaving, she hasn't got much time
(azure ray)
you'll see her tomorrow, as you rise and shine
(azure ray)

the world puts out a call straight to my phone
why should i answer, leave me alone
but there's nothing left to say except, “ don't pick me up. ”
the world writes a letter straight to my door
and falls down to join me, lying on the floor
but there's only one reply, “ don't pick me up. ”
the world projects a vision straight to my mind
of the horror and sorrow that awaits humankind
but the pain and confusion says, “ don't pick me up. ”
the world carves out its heart
and i'm afraid of the dark
the world sicks up its soul
and i'm just getting old
the world coughs up its lungs
and i feel like being young
the world cries the last of its tears
and my love of life disappears
the world comes to its end
and i was never picked up by a friend

the end is coming
no time for running
the sky is burning
and i'm turning into nothing like you
(chorus)
i'm the first born
of your kind
i'm the last thought in your mind
the end is passing
the lands are massing
the air is clearing
as i'm nearing where the clouds form your name
(chorus)
i must say
(the end . . .)
that was really worth my while
(is the beginning)
i have to admit
(the beginning . . .)
you were really worth it
(is the end)
i must say
(the end . . .)
that was really worth my while
(is the beginning)
i have to admit
(the beginning . . .)
you were really worth it
(is the end)

Kill Your Boots
02:50

what happens at the end of the country road?
will i meet someone who will give me what i'm owed?
so many stories just waiting to be told
time to hear them all before i grow too old
chickens in the dirt
a-pecking at my hurt
strangers on their porches
eyeing me going through the town
at night they bring their torches
come and burn me down
what happens when i reach the factory gates?
open your eyes and just wait for what awaits
the rhythm of the machine that my father hates
punch in, punch him out, gotta pay the rates
devils in the dust
scratching at my trust
strangers on the line
watching me go by
when it comes to time
they will hang me out to dry
what happens to me
as they snuff out my life?
i laugh in their faces
as they watch me die
i look down from above
and cry

The Great And The Good
03:49
|
|||
|
i caught you thinking
now we're both wide awake
no one is talking
'cos everyone aches
i feel like drinking
ourselves to death
the distance between us
is all that is left
(chorus)
the great and the good
we did what we could
the good and the great
and now it's too late
i stole your glance
when you turned away
you told me stories
and let me have your say
i saw the pages
that you never wrote
and between the lines
is the only thing we've got
(chorus)
you told me you saw me
and i told you what to do
you told me you still need me
but i told you what to do
you told me you saw me
and i told you what to do
you told me you still need me
but i told you what to do

so humble and defenceless
i would kneel at your shrine
so endless and relentless
your everything is mine
i'll put on a bruise for you
to show you how i don't feel
it's not just a myth
locked inside your mind
it's not just the truth
that you will find
so sorry and broken
i tower over your shrine
a hollow victory token
knowing you'll never be mine
i'll stick on a bruise for you
to show you how i can't feel
it's not just a fantasy
locked inside your mind
it's not just the facts
that you will find
i pray to myself
that you should not exist
i convince myself
that you would not be missed
i wanted to believe
that you could not exist
i was deceived
you were sorely missed
it's not just a dream
locked inside your mind
it's not just the answers
that you will find

In The Clearing

all that water under the bridge
and now my banks are dry
i don't want to bring you down with me
as i float sadly by
clashes to ashes
water into wine
trust to rust
sand into time
of your life
raise your eyes to heaven
as they lay me in the ground
this is the last hurrah
but i'm not making a sound
masses in glasses
waters intertwine
crust to must
waste of the time
of your life
