DELUGE
Flying wild with the wind,
up on the global lining
In my dreams
Hoping that Life will be kind to me
Leave me time to deliver my wings
I am density, clarity, vision
In my head
I am sinewy strands of self-derision
Instead
I am bound to my past like an anchor
Of lead
What I need is a breath
of fresh air
What I need is a deluge
Sacrament skies look down,
like bread and like wine
Turn the lever
Seems that the elements play for my soul
And I am meagre
Like a thread and a needle, I am neither
Which am I? Will I ever know?
Like the rain when it thunders I'm helpless
And out of control
I am density, clarity, vision.... etc
It's in the masterforms
of the oceans
It's in forgotten toils of a friend
It's the way you believed when you started,
The life fascinating's still there
What I need is an answer
What I need is a breath of fresh air
What I need is a deluge
What I fear most is fading to end....
WHEN MOODS COLLIDE
We dance around each other,
we echo each other
It's transient moments that tumble together
We sit and stare, we jumble together
Around and around, we're cyclonic weather
Together we roll
Together we glide
When moods collide
A ballet of bodies, a
waking dream
A storm without warning, a sinful spin
Together we roll
Together we glide
When moods collide
Round and around and around
and around and around
Under the skin
Round and around and around and around and around
Let it begin
A scratch on a finger,
a feeling of calm
A juxtaposition, the risk of harm
We're going down to precious oblivion
A point of extinction, the faith that we'll live again
Together we roll, together we rise
When moods collide
Together we roll, together we're high
When moods collide
Together we roll, together
we cry
When moods collide
RENEE
Listen to me Renee, where
are you now?
You believe all
the stories that are running round town
Did you think of forever, but you found it was never
And your pretty pink halo has fallen down
Listen to me Renee, beauty,
be sad for a while
Tears they become you, though they're not quite your style
And your face is all dirty, and your heart's torn and hurting
And your pretty pink halo has fallen down
Down down down down down
Where is the one who will
take you from here?
You settle for comforts in carseats and beers
And the backstreets wont have you
You're too lonely and fragile
How I wish I could make you see clear
Listen to me Renee, sing
me a song
And I'll pay you in kind if you'll take me along
For I know what you've been through
Cos you feel it like I do
Oh your pretty pink halo has fallen down
Down down down down down
Where is the one who will
take you from here?
You settle for comforts in carseats and beers
And the backstreets wont have you
You're too lonely and fragile
How I wish I could make you see clear
Listen to me Renee, sing
me a song
And I'll pay you in kind if you'll take me along
For I know what you've been through
Cos you feel it like I do
Oh your pretty pink halo has fallen down
Down down down down down
CATFISH
Cat caught a catfish
Stuck it in a big dish
Wishin' on a very big wishbone
Cat caught a catfish
Lickin' his furry lips
Is it don't or is it is?
Don't know!
Cat's lookin high-class
Struttin' tall an' runnin' fast
Got a lot o' big dreams...
Cat got the cream
Cat got the cream
Cat caught a catfish
Stuck it in a big dish
Wishin' on a very big wishbone
Cat caught a catfish
Lickin' his furry lips
Is it don't or is it is?
Don't know!
Cat's playin' hide an' seek
Puffin' up his fat cheeks
Grinnin' that greedy grin....
Cat got the cream
Cat got the cream
He do it good
He do the business
He get himself
A whole lot of fishness
Cat got the cream
Cat got the cream
MAKE YOUR OWN FUN
She's out in the meadow
Perfecting the sun
And surfing anemonies
Are resting as one
She circles her enemies
The fairies have come
She spirals uncaringly
Her mind whispers sparingly....
Make your own fun
Make your own fun
Make your own fun
Make your own fun
She opens her presents
Pretends that she's blue
And mermaids are giggling
As she takes off her shoes
She talks of her secret things
She lays out her clues
She puts on her magic wings
She
knows what her magic brings
Make your own fun
Make your own fun
Make your own fun
Make your own fun
She's only a moment
inspired
She never is lonely or tired
She beckons the crowd with her smile
She echoes the clouds with her frown
She's out in the meadow
Perfecting the sun
DROP THE PEBBLES
Drop the pebbles in the
water
Catch the sunlight,
walk the wasteland
Chase the rainbow to the other side
Drop the pebbles
In the water
I am too slow, I'm
unaware
I am the silence that intended to care
I'm all thats left, I am beside
I'm on the outside of the thing I hide, oh
Drop the pebbles in the
water
Catch the sunlight, walk the wasteland
Chase the rainbow to the other side
It's gonna be fine
When I get home and noone knows
Put it all behind
Forget the dream and the morning rose
Yeh, I'm gonna be fine
Someone showed me how to hide the blues
All I have to do
Is carry this cloud in my pocket
Drop the pebbles in the
water
Catch the sunlight, walk the wasteland
Chase the rainbow to the other side
Drop the pebbles in the water
Catch the sunlight, walk the wasteland
Chase the rainbow to the other side
Drop the pebbles
In the water
NATHAN
Let's let Nathan paint
the sky tonight
I'm getting too old for dreams
And I'll bet he'll paint us something that is beautiful
And Mama can weave the seams
And Mama can weave the seams
It's been a long,
long day, Mama
There's been some heavy rain done and fall
So Nathan, stir the dusk around
While Old Joe lay his blanket down
Set the clouds to blaze
Before Moon begins his day
Takes me back a long way,
to the old days Mama
Waiting till the twilight for the starlight Mama
So Nathan, blow them tissue winds
And spill the lazy colours in
He got the phoenix eye
And a soul that's full of sigh
Let's let Nathan paint
the sky tonight
I'm getting too old for dreams
And I'll bet he'll paint us something really beautiful
And Mama can weave the seams
And Mama can weave the seams
THE LOVE IS IN THE DETAIL
Always on the run, my
love
Always on the run
And I can't see the wood, my love
The trees keep out the sun
And I can't hear your little voice
It's too loud
when you are strong
And I can't reach your tender heart
While it matters who was wrong
The love is in the detail,
my love
The love is in the detail
The love is in the detail, my love
The love is in the detail
Always on the run, my
love
Always on the run
And I can't see the wood, my love
The trees keep out the sun
And I can't hear your sleepy breaths
When your head is full of doubts
And I can't feel the tremble
When you kiss me with your mouth
The love is in the detail,
my love
The love is in the detail...etc
BOOTS
D'ya forget your boots
When you left her there at first light?
Forget your boots again?
Ah forget your boots
When you were crawling home in silence?
Were voices in your dizzy head
Calling on your shame?
D'ya forget her name
When you laid her down?
D'ya forget her name
When she cried?
D'ya forget her name
When she whispered that she loved you
Was she nothing in your clumsy arms
Just your taste for passing trade?
D'ya forget your boots?
You're so damn lazy
Surprised you got the nerve
You're messing with a lady
You should get what you deserve
Bet ya feeling tired and weary
Head full of wine, a little bleary
D'ya forget your boots again?
Bet ya forgot your boots again
You're leaving behind your boots again....etc
YOUR FURROWED BROW
There is a whole man lives
in the hollow
Of your furrowed brow
He does not see the world the way the others do
There is the soul of a man inside the furrow
Of your gathered brow
He does not do the things that the others do
And I want to know
what the others don't know
About your furrowed brow
I want to grow with the seeds that are sown
There in your furrowed brow
Your furrowed brow, your furrowed brow
There's a story untold
and a river to follow
In your furrowed brow
You are the fruit of your labours and loves
It is true
And I want to know
what the others don't know
About your furrowed brow
I want to grow with the seeds that are sown
There in your furrowed brow
I want to trace every line, every curve
There in your furrowed brow
Your furrowed brow, your furrowed brow
Life is the journey, love is the learning curve
BLACKBERRIES
She gave me blackberries,
the ones she'd grown
They were the last of the season - I should have known
I said I'd take them home and bake a pie
The last pie of the season...
And this is why it makes
me cry
You and I, so much left undone...
The apple that's fallen
to the ground
Gives the ripest flavour
Spices, too strong and bitter now
Yet so familiar
Blackberries are all you leave, and memories of you
Touch the crust: ashes to ashes, dust to dust
She gave me blackberries,
it's all she could
I made a promise to her, I never should
And when I left her there and said goodbye
It was our last goodbye....
This is why it makes me
cry
You and I, so much left undone...
Still my friend at the
end
Through the tears
The apple that's fallen to the ground....etc
Blackberries
YOU ARE THE KEY
For all the moments I
have turned the other way
For all the epitaphs I gathered on the way
For all the times I felt that noone really cared
For all the days I woke to find you there
For all the fears that show me I am still alive
For all the dreams in me that I have realised
For every mystery the world has offered me
You are the key
For all the memories of
loves that never won the day
For all the journeys that I've taken there and back again
For all the tears I've shed for precious friends and strangers I have
seen
For all the secrets that I've shared and those still locked in me
For when I find I have the will to carry on
For when I love the world and feel that I belong
For all the mysteries the world has offered me
You are the key
For services rendered,
for goals achieved
For contracts tendered, for pressures relieved
For milestones remembered, for memories bequeathed
For fires and embers, for those under siege
For all the fears that show me I am still alive
For all the dreams in me that I have realised
For when the risk I take restores my self-belief
For when I lose it all and know that I am free
For when I find I have the will to carry on
For when I love the world and feel that I belong
For all the mysteries the world has offered me
You are the key
