"Ski"

"Ski"

No easy about it
Born to a mountain slide
You're gonna learn to take a dive

No easy about it
I won't tell you not to need it
Cos you don't want no chatter now
Wears you down just to sit it out
And you don't want to hear a thing about
What he should but doesn't think about
When you wanted him without a doubt

You learn to skate on something this cold
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
That I know you could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

(All that I want)
Everything I ever wanted
(All that I need)
(All that I have)
Everything I ever wanted
(All I believe)
Is sitting down here with me
Feeling like a bad man
(Feeling like a bad man)

Do I love you only
You are the child I wanted
You are dear
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
You could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

You learn to skate on
Something's cold
You're free a little moment to feel

Do I love you only
You are the child I wanted
You are dear
And down the hills that summer used to fill with honey flowers
You could never bear to carry home
Are deep in snow

(You learn to skate on)

"Sleep Like Breathing"

"Sleep Like Breathing"

Every words so...
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
When the slowness of the day has gone
Leaving shadow like feelings to depend upon

Every words so...
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain

You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath... gently

And the tease cries
Weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower

When the danger in the touch is gone
Changing delicate evenings to reflective ones

And the tease cries
Weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower

You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath... gently

"Smaller"

"Smaller"

Gone, simple days
Single ways to run
Tripping over the rubble of new roads begun
And I'd follow you then, like a dog at your heel
Wishing only to borrow the freedoms you'd steal

I turned back as the crowd enveloped you
Scarlet finery
Oh just look at you now
Oh, just look at you now.

How is the truth so distracted,
When love sports its favours like medals
And takes well enough,
You gave to me selflessly, sinew and bone
Grown bigger than you who yet carries me home

Hair still black, and your back is steel
With your every word tasted
Oh, just look at you now
Oh, just look at you now.

I used to dance to the drum in your chest
My feet on your feet, my head at your breast
You gave me a tune and I carry it still
And i promise my darling,
That I ever will.

I turned back as the crowd enveloped you
Scarlet finery
Oh just look at you now
Oh, just look at you now
and I can't look at you now.

"So Am I"

"So Am I"

Our room across is a mile wide
She comes and look now how you are the fireside
I'm watching, she's waiting to show you the pearls in her Betsy Clark eyes
She sighs the whistling winds you sail in
She cries and you are alive
She's saying she's sorry and oh,
So am I
So am I
For ninety seven days that should have been an hour

I know it's all you can do when she's so very near
Praise be the King of the settee and his Guinivere
I'll get up and go out and no doubt
You're giving it all to her, oh

So am I
So am I
The ninety-seven days the fifteen blessed hours
And it's easy as it goes, so am I
How and hour of ninety days will soon run out of time

The weight of the world has the head in your hands
(She's Indian giving again)
You're sorry and sick and you know

So am I
So am I
The ninety seven days and fifteen sodding hours came to nothing
Taken in?
So was I
She's going, going gone and you know that's fine

And so am I

"Solid Wood"

"Solid Wood"

Some days every word gets in our way
You don't make sense of what I say
And every answer begs another question why
I didn't want to

Maybe I could have changed the way it was
I could have made much more of us
And if I failed perhaps it wasn't just because
I didn't want to

Don't take it as a sign
The stars were out of line
But heaven knows
Whoever I was then
She won't be back again so let her go
But you I wouldn't change
I wouldn't change
I wouldn't change you if I could
It's understood
They got hardboard I got solid wood

Somehow if I am wont to take my time
If I dig in where I should mine
It doesn't build a case for your friends to decide
I didn't want you
Don't take it on yourself

"Stay"

"Stay"

A wait in hope of every day
That changes come as changes may
With every fear that I allay.
I have a horror of this place
Yet I'm accustomed to its face
And I am safe within its maze

But you leave me nothing in my home town
And now you want to pull us down,
But I can hope, and I can pray, and I will stay

I traced my way from bluebell hill
To the park, and further still,
Onto the rise beyond the mounds.
And from this point I can see
My life in its entirety
Mapped before me on the ground

Let the cold air bite my face
For I am angry at this place
Wherein nothing stays the same.
It breaks by heart to let you go
When deep inside us we both know
That you will not be back again.

"Steal Me Blind"

"Steal Me Blind"

Well my friends I feel it's time
To reassess the situation and decide what's mine
Every time you steal me blind
With no consideration for the way I feel inside

And you just look at me like you don't understand
How could we, how could we let it get so out of hand

Don't steal me blind

You my friends would bleed me dry
And with no hesitation you would pass me by
And you keep telling me that you don't understand
What's the use there's no point in building on sand

Don't steal me blind

Well my friends I feel it's time
There's a fortune in friendship

"Take Of Me"

"Take Of Me"

What a dream
I could feel everything
Silk of softnesses
Why alone I'll be lonely with you
Do I want for diamond skies

Will You take of me
Will you take of me

Not a sound I would hear everything
Everything I hear
Lay me down
Dance can we?
Cast as one into the sea
Will you take of me

"That Ole Devil Called Love"

"That Ole Devil Called Love"

It's that ole devil called love again,
Gets behind me and keeps giving me the shove again,
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams,
And rocks in my heart.

It's that sly ole son of a gun again,
He keeps telling me, I'm the lucky one again.
But I still have that rain, still have those tears,
And those rocks in my heart.

S'pose I didn't stay - ran away - didn't play,
The devil what a potion, he would brew.

He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down,
Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do.
Might as well, give up the fight again.
I know darn well, he'll convince me, that he's right again.
When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along,
With that ole devil called love.

He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down,
Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do.
Might as well, give up the fight again.
I know darn well, he'll convince me that he's right again.
When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along,
With that ole devil called love.

"The Coventry Carol"

"The Coventry Carol"

Lully lulla, thou little tiny Child
Bye bye lully, lullay

Oh, sisters too, how may we do?
For to preserve this day
This poor Youngling for whom we do sing
Bye bye lully, lullay

Herod the King, in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All young children, to slay

Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee
And ever mourn and day
For Thy parting neither say nor sing
Bye bye lully, lullay

Lully lulla, thou little tiny Child
Bye bye lully, lullay
