"Broadway (So Many People)"

"Broadway (So Many People)"


Last night
Just north of Houston
Broadway
So many people
Through your
First storey window
I see my favourite record store

Where is the laughter?
Where is the laughter?

Smiling
Tasting the irony
Broadway
So many people
Outside
Just round the corner
Leather
And a Bob Marley t-shirt

Where is the laughter?
Where is the laughter?

Baby
Ten thousand years ago
Broadway
So many people
Sleeping
Down at the factory
Waiting
And singing so softly

Where is the laughter?
Where is the laughter?
The garden of Eden
Voices of children
Where is the laughter?

"California"

"California"


See your reflection in the mire
You keep your revelations wide
They knew just where to draw the line
You let them cut you every time

Though it breaks your heart
You had to sell the farm
Back to California where it's warm

It fell around you like the stars
You picked up everything they dropped
And though it breaks you like a song (?)
You had some secrets of your own

And though it breaks your heart
You had to sell the farm
Back to California where it's warm
It's warm
It's warm

And though it breaks your heart
You had to sell the farm
Nights were just too long
With all your children gone
Would it keep you strong
If I said it with a song?
Back to California where it's warm

"Canada"

"Canada"


I'm not scared of waking up
I'm not afraid of getting cut
'cuz you can't take that stuff to canada
you can't take it anywhere

you could la la la la la
and you could lie to all your friends
but you can't take that stuff to canada
you can't take it anywhere

I used to have a golden tongue
but now the words just feel like stones
'cuz you can't take that stuff to canada
you can't take it anywhere

"Candy Girl"

"Candy Girl"


Candy girl

candy girl
you try to stand so still
wasting all our days
with gillian and dave
candy girl
candy girl
candy girl
you sing that song so well

"Caroline"

"Caroline"


Caroline, we don't have much time
Mercy lies in the one you hide
Caroline, we don't have much time
Mercy lies in the ones we hide

You don't need to be outside
You can stand with me in line

"Clarence White"

"Clarence White"


Clarence White and Josh Murray
I never thought I'd see the day
It hurts to hear but it's so easy to say
Clarence White

I know I shouldn't be afraid

You think it's pretty (oh no)
I am a raging river
I'll cut through your city (oh no)
Just like destroying angel
The one from the movie (oh no)
The one with Charlton Heston
That used to scare me

But I know I shouldn't be afraid
I know I shouldn't be afraid
I know I shouldn't be afraid
I know I shouldn't be afraid

"Closer"

"Closer"


Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
How'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that

On a dark, raging sea
Ships lay sleeping beneath
Overhead, spinning past
Hold me closer than that

Things we lost in the fire
How'd we ever get by?
Words will never take back
Hold me closer than that

Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
How'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that

La la la la

"Coattails"

"Coattails"


He rides on coattails

"Congregation"

"Congregation"


Sometimes
The congregation takes the other side
An inquisition of familiar lies
A grave distraction from a quiet rise

Sometimes
The congregation can't make up its mind
Incarceration creeps up from behind
The implication is its own device
In the middle of a synod fight

Sometimes
The congregation can't be satisfied
Can't be bothered with the ways and whys
Generations like the ways and time

"Cue The Strings"

"Cue The Strings"


Before you speak the words
So plain to see
Upon your skin
They sing
They dance and spin

So what pray tell
Will save you now
Here comes that cold sunrise

And at the peak we reach
To cue the strings
They ring so sweet
They lean
And plead release

So what pray tell
Will save you now
Here comes that cold sunrise
Here comes that cold sunrise
