Any Reason

Any Reason

My babe lets the moonshine
My babe likes to sail
When you need a reason
Baby's reason
My babe wants a show stopper
To come on board and dance
When there's reason
Any reason
Baby's reason
I can drive for miles and miles
I can drive for miles and miles around
My babe wants a warm coat
To keep him shuffling on
Just get along, just to get along
My babe wants to tell you
But talking don't seem fair

My babe needs a reason
Any reason
Any reason, any reason
Any place I'll drive you baby
Any place I'll drive you baby, yes

My babe wants the use of you
To really lose himself
My babe wants to see you
To see you help yourself
To any reason
Baby's reason
Any reason
My babe's sure a short boy
Although he thinks he's fine
Never greet a liar
'Cos any reason is any reason
Any reason is any reason
'Cos any reason
Is baby's reason
And any reason
Any reason's fine

Back In Your Arms

Back In Your Arms

Now this isn't the party I would hold now, I'm trying to make it on my own
I have opened my house but it's not like a home without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

No this isn't the season I would have chose
To be walking for miles with nowhere to go
I find shelter and warmth but I still feel the cold without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on holding you
Yeah, I'd keep on holding you

How do you think it feels? when you have a broken heart
Can't you reach out for me? can't you take me baby once again?

Bloodlines

Bloodlines

You can't call hell
A quiet town
But you walked so shell-shocked
Have you found a way to stand?
Your head is high
You have, oh, such curious hands

Did they mantion?
Special faces
And your young mind
And foreign places

And I wonder
Where you come from
I know they have no answers
But their bloodlines

Can you call?
This land a friend
You looked so hopeful
Have you found a way to send this soul
To, oh, such a curious end

For this sadness
Am I made strong?
For my sadness
Must be shared by someone

Ande I wonder
Where you come from
I know I have no answers
But my bloodlines

To know that I am not the only one
To know that my love is for everyone
To hold it in my heart
To hold it in my heart
To hold it in my heart

And I wonder
Where you come from
I know I have no answers
But my bloodlines

And I Think Of You

And I Think Of You


Night is falling
I think of you
I'm walking home
I think of you
And as he calls me, yes I do
I think of you
How you doing?
I think of you
As we leave
I think of you
And I smile, I can't hide
I think of you

I don't know where your days are spent
Your lovers and you friends
But I know for sure
Of who you have been thinking

Far beyond the city's lights
Are two who dream a life
Forgive them if they never find their freedom
Their freedom

It's so late
I think of you
He walks me home
I think of you
I'm so sorry, I'm so tired
I think of you
And in the shadows
I think of you
I close my eyes
I think of you
Now I'm falling
I think of you

lalalalalalaay,
lalalalalalaay,
lalalalalalaay,
lalalalalalaay,
lalalalalalaay,
lalalalalalaay,
tararararttaraa i think of you
tararararttaraa
tararararttaraa
As he calls me, yes i do
i think of you..
i think of you of you.
yes i'm falling, i think of you
tararararttaraa
tararararttaraa

I think of you
As he calls my name, yes I do
I think of you
I think of you
I think of youAnd in breathing
I think of you
And in seeing
I think of you
I think of you

And in feeling
I think of you

I think of you
And in living
I think of you

Blue Moon

Blue Moon


Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own

Cathedral Song

Cathedral Song


I saw you from the cathedral
You were watching me
And I saw from the cathedral
What I should be

So take my lies
And take my time
'Cos all the others want to take my life

And I watch you with an intent, basic
It's the same for you
You hold your hand
And it's all fine - laced and
What would you make me do?

So take my lies
And take my time
'Cos all the others want to take my life

Serious for the winter time
To wrench my soul
whole cotton, whole cotton ears
But I know there must be
There must be, yes, I know there must be a place to go

You saw me from the cathedral
Well I'm an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
Well here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I'm tired
I want all that you are

I saw you from the cathedral
You were leaving me
And I saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see

So take my lies
And take my time
'Cos all the others want to take my life

Consider The Rain

Consider The Rain


I have a picture
It's taken with looks
It wont tell a story
But I'm glad I forgot everything that you say

I choose the colours
And reword the lines
Now somebody's second heart
Ain't the first of mine

Consider the rain now
Out in the cold
Maybe I love you
But our dreams grow old
Outbid my fortune
Out to just win
Tell me that summer
Is coming on in

I got my wallet
Been shot from the start
Feel shot when I'm feeling drained
But we all know how to smile when we're falling apart

You choose the colours now
Let's play with the rest
I never believe at all
But some of us sometimes, are just thrilled, by meeting the blessed

Consider the rain now
Out in the cold
Maybe I love you
But our dreams grow old
Outbid my fortune
Out to just win
Tell me that summer
Is coming on in

I have the oath ring, somebody said
Makes like a twinge running straight through my head
Maybe this fortune is not what it seems
Some of us pin, some of us pin time on our dreams

And saved from the talk shifts
Went straight to your goal
Straight backed and straight laced
Well, you never really
Do you ever really know?

I check on the same day
I checked out the view
I checked all the soft land
Well, it comes so easy from you

Consider the rain now
Out in the cold
Maybe I love you
But our dreams grow old
Outbid my fortune
Out to just win
Tell me that summer
Is coming on in

Deliver Me

Deliver Me


One day to wonder what's bothering me -
(You said it)
I'm just the half of this - that just won't see -
(Believe it)
If I am wishing I am hoping as well
(Sometimes I)
I tell you clearly
But it's hard to tell

Someone will watch me with an eager eye -
(But I'm not)
I'm not even here, to even try
If the rain stops calling, calling my name
Well, I'm still in the thick of it and bearing the shame

(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day
You'll wake up and then you'll see

Some times are hard, some times they drag
Well, I can see your face - you've seen the half of this
Maybe, I'm naming all the changes too much
(But see you), you never leave it if you have to touch

(And I will) always be waiting with a happy smile
But the smile is just a laughing
Killer - laugh-a-while
Don't know what I'm doing here
Don't know if I'm sane
But I swear if I'm feeling this -
I'm feeling the pain

(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day
You'll wake up and then you'll see
And I can't be your standards
Wish you away
No, I can't be all this much
See you still have too much to say

Some skies are darkening and call out loud
Well, I'm the good side of you and I'm still proud
To be waiting for lightness when you stray
Well I'm sure that I hear him
He's slipping away

(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me
(Deliver me)
Oh, no - you don't deliver in me, but one day
You'll wake up and then you'll see

Elephant

Elephant


Elephant
Ain't going home
Ain't going home
To be your friend

Elephant
Ain't going home
To start a fire
To be your friend

Elephant
Ain't going home
Ain't going out
To start a fight

Elephant
To start a fire
To be your friend
It isn't right

Elephant
Hate being short
Hate being long
Hate being lost

Hate being round
Hate being round about your lost cause

Elephant
Ain't getting wired
Ain't getting lied to all the time

Elephant
I can't hear
I can't hear
The one you want

But it makes more sense
To be near the riverside
Yeah, it makes more sense
'Cos the grass grows high
It makes more sense
To be near to you baby

The very, very, very, very sad truth is
I never think sensibly
Thr very, very, very, very, very sad truth is
I never think
Bothers me

Elephant
Getting tired
Getting lied to
All the time

Elephant
You make it
You make it seem
So available

Elephant
Ain't going down
Ain't going down
To take a look

To take a look
Would bring me down
Would bring me down

Feeding The Witches

Feeding The Witches


If I - won't be - able
To hold - a good - conversation
If I - feel - big - and ballooning
If I - turn up - today

If I - can't be - appreciated
I - won't be - 'preciated - at all
And if I - look - red - and - confusing
Well, I - am all - of the above

'Cos, I've been
Feeding the witches
Feeding them straw
Feeding the witches
The witches
The witches
Who live next door
You'd think
They'd have no milk, they'd
Have no honey
You'd think
They would prefer - petroleum
You'd think
they'd have rat's eyes
Not like Aunt sally
Yeah - you'd think
They wouldn't smile - just like your mum

Since I've been
Feeding the witches
Feeding them straw
I am
Falling for witches
The witches
Who live next door
They live next door
They live next door

If I - start wrong - too drunk - to continue
And - if - can't shout
I can't do - things - I used to
I'll be

Joining the witches
Feeding them straw
I'll be feeding the witches
The witches
Yes I'll be
Joining the witches
Feeding them straw, I'll be
Joining the witches
The witches who live next door
