All I Needed
04:07
|

They hanged the man
Who killed the thief
Who robbed the store
Which sold belief
In isolation
I took the keys
Out of the car
And drove you home
And the sky turned black
Much too soon
All I needed was...

Gonna take my coat
Gonna take my hat
Gonna leave this house
Just like that
And make my way down to the station
How long has the train been gone?
How long has the train been gone?
Gonna leave this food
On your plate
And pack my bag
‘Cos I can’t wait
And find myself some occupation
Step by step
Gonna make my way
‘Cos I can’t live with what you say

The boy I love
Took my car
And he’s never coming back
He packed his bags
On a rainy night
Went in search of oblivion
And I must admit
I like it
Strange way to get my thrills
Life is better than watching films
If you see
Him on the screen
Please don’t tell him
Where I’ve gone
I’d rather live like a silver note
From a stolen saxophone
And I sit here
In this cafe
With my books and cigarettes
Looking like the actors
I’m trying to forget

I bought my lover tranquilizers
She said she couldn’t sleep
While I was screaming
But she took off her hat and coat
And pulled the windows open wide
Into the night
And then she lay down
La la la lay down
Oh yes she lay down with me again
I bought my lover tranquiliers
She said she couldn’t speak
While I was dreaming
But the words got stuck in my throat
And her tears went floating by
Pallid and dry
And when she turned around
Her face was like the sun
Yes when she turned around
The night was almost gone

Blue Bird
04:21
|

If you look
If you look into the dark
If you look
If you look into the night
I will be
I will be your dancer
And we will be like blue birds
Blue birds
If you fall
If you fall into the sky
If you turn
If you turn into the grey
I will be
I will be your dancer
I will see the end

Filming the War
05:50
|

Same day
Changing our things
Same Day
Washing the sky from our wings
Mosaics on the bathroom floor
Mediterranean breeze
Filming the war
Same time
Looking at sand
Same time
Panning the lens over land
Rewrite the scriptures
Heroes are shown
Learning to walk on their knees
Filming the war
Cold eyes
Waiting for rain
Steel lines
Dragging the dead over plains
News from the mountains
Cameras are set
To focus on hope and disease
Filming the war

Sorrow Bird
04:14
|
|||
I live by the shadows
Stretch out my hand
Against a wall
And then I ‘light
Across the water
To follow
The sorrow bird
Spreads her wings tonight
Turns around in flight
To haunt me once again
The sorrow bird
Sees her victims fall
Turns around to call and
Taunt me once again
The stones in the river
Draw words in the sand
Sometimes a name
It sparkles bright
I reach and follow

Walk
03:41
|
|||
When you’re asleep
With colours around
A fearful silence
Nothing belongs
What do you really see ?
You turn around and say to me
Walk,
Walk,
Walk into another world
Your thoughts start to move
Like fingers on skin
Nobody waits
There’s something to bring
What do you really see?
You turn around and say to me
Walk

Daffodils
03:57
|
|||
Undergound
Over hills
There beyond the daffodils
I call you
And like the virgin and the thief
We’d sell our souls to get relief
From darkness and its wonders
And never drag you under
And though the guns and all the trade
Have blown apart all that we’ve made
We’ll get together in the end

Like a Star
08:22
|
|||
You talk like an angel
In your sleep
Keep your secret under pillows
I could lie awake all night
Waiting for you
To say something new
I picked up the wrong pen
In your car
Never knew that it was empty
You could find a parking place
There in your head
Repeat what you’ve said
Like a star
Take this coat of sleep away
From my door
We’ve stood here a thousand times
A thousand stars before

challenging (in a good way), stirring and sometimes painful to listen to. We all have eclectic listening habits and this contributes largely to the way we approach making music.
