"Kiss Them For Me"

"Kiss Them For Me"


It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far

No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found, oh

Nothing or no one
Will ever make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed

It's divoon, oh, it's serene
In the fountain's pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart-shaped pool of fame, oh

Nothing or no one
Will ever make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the tenth impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed, oh

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed

"Lands End"

"Lands End"


Come take this hand at twilight's door
I'll meet you there, we'll share the moonlit floor
Through the driving rain, colours run in veins
Ozone fills the air, two figures disappear

Come let's take flight, let's quit this scene tonight
Whilst they sleep on endless, in their wrecked designs
Sleep on endless in your wrecked designs

Moths touched by flame repeat their fatal game
Forever and eternally, the cliffs around the crashing sea
Unsolved and endless, wait for me

Undulating far below, where lucid waters flow
Their faces seem to know...

Where the land falls to an end
This hidden tale begins
Take a walk with me, down by the sea
Take a walk with me
Down by the sea

"Let Go"

"Let Go"


Nautical mile stretch out the years
A space walk, untethered, let go of your fears
A pioneering seed with every step you breed
Walks away from the crouching shuttle

And the countdown crow
Around the globe
Says let go

Machine in charge with the wry smile flickers
On his red and blue dials
Nautical mile stretch out the years
The back-pack suffocation with your creeping fears

And the countdown crow
Around the globe
Just lets go
On an endless limbo

And the countdown crow
Around the globe
Just let's go
Let Go

"Little Johnny Jewel"
(originally by Television)



My little Johnny Jewel
Oh he's so cool
He had no decision
He's just trying to tell a vision
Well some thought it sad
And others thought it mad
They're just scratching the surface
JJ couldn't be with the other kids
Was he on display?
No, no, not today
And all that guy ever said
He said "I want my little wing-head"
He'd be half-asleep at night
Over his head the sensation of flight
And he'd wake up dreaming
Dreaming....

And he'd run down to the airport
The rush, the roar
And he'd crouch down behind the fence
With a chest full of lights
And then he'd lose his senses
He'd lose his senses....

Oh my little Johnny Jewel
Oh he's so cool
But if you see him looking lost
You ain't gonna come on so fast
Ah, but you know that he's paid
You know that he's paid the price
All you gotta do for that guy
Is wink your eye...

"Little Sister"

"Little Sister"


Here I sit in paradise
My head between my hands

Little sister, break your vow
Break down, the sacred side
Little sister, break the rules
Break me in two

Little sister, now you're gone
Let's just say it's a mercy kill
But little sister, you've left me
Howling at the moon

If you touched my heart
You might be surprised
You'd be paralyzed

Will the free hand of captivity
Heal all this brutality?

If you touched my heart
A truth might lie disguised
You'd be paralyzed

If you touched my heart
You might be surprised
You'd be paralyzed

Just once, little sister
Just once...

"Lonely One"

"Lonely One"


Happy in solitude
Secure there's no-one to depend on
Scorning alms & good luck charms
Staring down to the rocks below

I was the lonely one
I didn't want no-one

An odyssey so solitary
Carries you forth to collide with me
Recognized familiar signs
We're hypnotized on the turning tide

You were the lonely one
Who didn't want no-one
I was the lonely one
I didn't want no-one

Here I stand on the shifting sand
Waves of lassitude wash inland
The lonely cry of a seagull flies
Into my mind and recalls a time

When I was the lonely one
Who didn't want no-one
You were the lonely one
No we didn't want no-one

Hear my hymn calling the lonely one
Hear my hymn for the lonely one

"Love In A Void"

"Love In A Void"


Too many fools blocking my motion
Clouding my eyes must be the potion
Spots on my eyes must be the lotion
Love in a void, it's so numb
Avoid in love, it's so dumb
Love in a void

Too many bigots for my liking
Too many critics, too few writing
Rabid dogs that aren't biting

Love in a void, it's so numb
Avoid in love, it's so dumb
Love in a void

Jaded reputation on which you're staking
Lots of money for the making
For all the stars they're just faking

Love in a void, it's so numb
Avoid in love, it's so dumb
Love in a void

"Love Out Me"

"Love Out Me"


I smash the glass into my face
Cutting through to my disgrace
Disregard for bone and flesh
How can I be in such a mesh of unlikeliness?
I smash my likeness

At my fingertips
With this blade turned in on me
Cutting an ancient tree
A cutter in a forest of industry
Upturning usurping

Love me
Hate me
Help me
Save me from me
Hold me
Hurt me
Stop me
Take this love out me

Anger tinged with sadness
It's always been like this
Place the dagger 'twixt my breast
My nearest and dearest
I hurt it I hurt me
Hurt everything around me
There's nothing no trace
Still cutting to find the place

Love out me! Love out me!

Anger tinged with sadness
It's always been like this
No nothing no one no more
No no no no I can't take this

Love me
Hate me
Help me
Save me from me
Hold me
Hurt me
Stop me
Take this love out me!

Love out me!
Love out me!

"Lullaby"

"Lullaby"


The lunacy will leave the day
Luminous in flight
As the moon spits out
In jagged beams another night
Wrap around this brilliant veil
Tranquil and unbroken
As you spiral down
A world of clay and taut convulsion
The dream swan spins
And cartwheel turns
Down deep within your violet side
The sun begins to rise
Skaing down its morining swords to thaw your frozen eyes
The dream swan spins
And so conceal the heart that aches and yearns
Hush awhile
Sleepless child
I'll be watching over you

"Lunar Camel"

"Lunar Camel"


Chasing a monsoon over the dune
Oh fly me to the moon, get me there soon
I don't have to prove I'll last longer than you
One hump or two, any handicap will do against you

I'll be there soon -- over the moon
I'll be there soon -- over the moon

Chasing a monsoon over the dune
Oh fly me to the moon, get me there soon
