"The State I'm In"

"The State I'm In"


I'm circling around the sun
Hoping for a chance to see
You above everyone
To rescue me from this heat
I'm waiting for night to fall
And it's been days
Are you sorry yet
You took our one and final breath
When the flag was halfway down
Just look at me now...

Oooooh - It's like a breeze blowing deep beneath my skin
Oooooh - Won't you help me out of the state I'm in
Oooooh - I can't stand myself since you've been gone
There's nothing there to lean upon

Walk into a photograph
That waiter took so well
Oooh if I could only laugh
Like that girl at some hotel
I call out to anyone
But not too loud
I'm not ready yet
To share the phone or TV set
It's a long long way to come
Out of this one ...

Oooooh - It's like a breeze blowing deep beneath my skin
Oooooh - Won't you help me out of the state I'm in
Oooooh - I can't stand myself since you've been gone
There's nothing there to lean upon

And now it seems so fatal
The last stone we left uncradled
And I ask you are you sorry yet
Are you sorry yet
Cuz I may never come
Out of this one ...

Oooooh - It's like a breeze blowing deep beneath my skin
Oooooh - Won't you help me out of the state I'm in
Oooooh - I can't stand myself since you've been gone
There's nothing there to lean upon

Oooooh - It's blowing deep, blowing deep
Oooooh - help me out, help me out of that state I'm in
Oooooh - It's blowing deep beneath my skin

This is the state I'm in
This is the state I'm in

"The Vishnu Room"

"The Vishnu Room"


I love you more than I ever loved a man
And I'm shy
I want to make love with you
More than I ever wanted to

Do you think that you could make me take some rest?
Make me lie down, make me listen to your chest?

Because Vishnu lives at the core of your heart
Vishnu is and Vishnu starts

Oh my love, my delight
Is to be with you in the night
Oh your breath, your nakedness
All your softness, and your hardness

Do you think that you could maybe take some rest?
Come and lie down, take a listen in my chest?

Because Vishnu lives at the core of my heart
Vishnu is and Vishnu starts
Oh Vishnu, I sing to you
Just to say, oh Lord, thank you

"The Voice Of My Doctor"

"The Voice Of My Doctor"


When I opened my eyes in your bedroom
Saw a painting of a bald lady
When I opened my eyes in your bedroom
Saw a woman looked just like me
Kissing gently as only she would
A man made of stone who's crying blood

A giant man of stone is crying
A gentle lady rests her face
Her cheek against his, oh so softly
She's just a figure full of grace

The voice of my doctor
Keeps interrupting my view
It says "Oh you've gone and let another
Fool make a fool out of you"

Oh and I did, I did, oh yes I did
'Cause you never said you have a girl you love
Oh, you tricked me into thinking that you loved me
You tricked me into making love

Well I wrote I love you on her shoulder
When I left you last night
I wrote I love you on her shoulder
When I left you last night
Yeah another stupid woman left a little message
Left a little message for your wife.

The voice of my doctor
Keeps interrupting my view
It says "Oh you've gone and let another
Fool make a fool out of you"

Oh and I did, I did, oh yes I did
'Cause you never said you have a girl you love
Oh, you tricked me into thinking that you loved me
You tricked me into making love

"The Wolf Is Getting Married"

"The Wolf Is Getting Married"


I used to have no wolves around me
I was too free, if that's possible to be
No safety, is what I mean
No solid foundation to keep me

But the sun's peeping out of the sky
Where there used to be only gray
The wolf is getting married
And he'll never cry again

Your smile makes me smile
Your laugh makes me laugh
Your joy gives me joy
Your hope gives me hope

And the sun's peeping out of the sky
Where there used to be only gray
The wolf is getting married
And he'll never cry again

Never cry again

Even if something terrible is happening
You laugh and that's the thing I love about you most, yeah

Your smile makes me smile
Your laugh makes me laugh
Your joy gives me joy
Your hope gives me hope

And the sun's peeping out of the sky
Where there used to be only gray
The wolf is getting married
And he'll never cry again

"This Is A Rebel Song"

"This Is A Rebel Song"


I love you my hard englishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can't you forgive what you think I've done
And love me - I'm your woman
And I desire you my hard englishman
And there is no more natural thing
So why should I not get loving
Don't be cold englishman
How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
Ah, please talk to me englishman
What good will shutting me out get done
Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons
Oh listen - englishman
I've honoured you - hard englishman
Now I am calling your heart to my own
Oh let glorious love be done
Be truthful - englishman
How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
I do

"This Is To Mother You"

"This Is To Mother You"


This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the 'wrong' things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you
And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you

"Three Babies"

"Three Babies"


Each of these
My three babies
I will carry with me
For myself
I ask no one else will be
Mother to these three
And of course
I'm like a wild horse
But there's no other way I could be
Water and feed
Are not tools that I need
For the thing that I've chosen to be
In my soul
My blood and my bones
I have wrapped your cold bodies around me
The face on you
The smell of you
Will always be with me
Each of these
My three babies
I was not willing to leave
Though I tried
I blasphemed and denied
I know they will be returned to me
Each of these
My babies
Have brought you closer to me
No longer mad like a horse
I'm still wild but not lost
From the thing that I've chosen to be
And it's `cause you've thrilled me
Silenced me
Stilled me
Proved things I never believed
The face on you
The smell of you
Will always be with me
Each of these
My three babies
I will carry with me
For myself
I ask no one else will be
Mother to these three

"Throw Down Your Arms"

"Throw Down Your Arms"


Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,

Two of us have a little fuss,
Ev'rything you draw your last,
Ev'rything you run for your gun,
Ev'rything you fling rock stone.
Hear this!

Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Drop them !

A no ignorance he do it
A no brute force do it.
Your weapons can't do it
So hear this !

Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Drop them
Put them away to stay.

Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
I long to see you,
I long to reason with you.
I long to hold your hands in my hands.
Can't you see,
Can't you see?

Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come...

"Tiny Grief Song"

"Tiny Grief Song"


I'd a terrible broken heart
I'd a terrible broken heart
I'd a terrible broken heart
I'd a terrible broken heart
You were born on the day my mother was buried.
My grief, my grief, my grief, my grief, my grief.
You were born on the day my mother was buried.
My grief, my grief, my grief, my grief, my grief.

"Troy"

"Troy"


I'll remember it
And Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I'll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do was right
Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn
And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean
Those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?
Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn
And you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
No I can't let you go
And the door wasn't closed
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place
Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a lawyer
