"Seen It Coming"

"Seen It Coming"



Hey man, think it through now
Why don't you stay for a while
Eve and Aurora gonna come on over
Know they're gonna make make you smile
And cool your heels
I know just how it feels

You should've seen it coming
Been coming for some time
You've got your broken heart
And I've got mine

Yeah, she said it's over
But it was over right from the start
You ain't gonna tell me that you were a saint
Every time you two were apart
You blew your chance
So face the music and dance

You should've seen it coming
Been coming for some time
You've got your broken heart
I've got mine

You've got your broken heart
I've got mine

You should've seen it coming
...some time
You've got your broken heart
And I feel fine (feel so fine)
Talk about it (feel so fine)

"Shadow Cabinet"

"Shadow Cabinet"



Now chased by the shapes of your vowels
Look at the things she allows
Junction fever must have closed down the rail
The gluttonous wind keeps on nibbling the sail
Queuing in the ruins in the wake of the gale
It's harmony I say

Here the difference between close and near
The way oaths and oafs interfere
Bliss comes first as a jangling flood
Pillow from the old country arrives with a thud
That night she drinks ceremony and mud
It's happening I say

Must be thirsty, drink, drink, sink, forget
Must be empty inside the shadow cabinet

She offered her chaos to me
Proffered herself languidly
The eldritch bitch must have muddled her spells
Tinges of Persia, I hope that it sells
Chemical nuptials and ringing the bells
It's heavenly I say

Then one winter morning you walk through the trees
But they cut them all down for the factories
Made this pretty cabinet and gave you the keys
It's hardly used I think

"She Never Said"

"She Never Said"



I'm not exact but I'm not insane
I clutched at someone in the dark again
It's so hard to remember her name she never said

It was in a story that I wanted to write
The details weren't important, the plot was slight
No one asked what happened that night, she never said

Get out of bed, lets pull on a shoe
I've got a notion what we ought to do
Here's a number you can try to ring
But I'm still thinking about all the things she never said

I parked my car by some memories
And told my story to the laughing trees
They don't know what's wrong with me, she never said

All the letters had the wrong address
Did you notice who cleaned up the mess
What the date was is anybody's guess, she never said

"She'll Come Back For You Tomorrow"

"She'll Come Back For You Tomorrow"



Tremblin' the winter comes, penetrates the room
Sits beside you, takes hold of your hand

And the glances that she gives you
As your body turns to stone
And you shatter into pieces
As she leaves you all alone

She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow

And she's smiling and she's vicious
And she's sour and delicious
Can't ignore her or resist her
Try to leave her and I missed her

She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow

The sphere of life that glows and twists entices you to fall
Grants your wishes then takes them all away
And it crushes and it squeezes
Breaks the spirit, kills the soul
And it does just as it pleases
Did you hurry it to the hole

She'll hypnotise you, make you follow
Or she'll come back for you tomorrow

She'll come back for you tomorrow

Or she'll come back for you tomorrow

She'll come back for you tomorrow

"Silver Machine"
(originally by Hawkwind)

"Silver Machine"
(originally by Hawkwind)



I, I just took a ride
On a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean

Oh, do you want to ride
See yourself going by
The other side of the sky
You gotta know where I've been

And it flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To all the Zodiac signs

I got a silver machine (silver machine)
I got a silver machine (silver machine)
I got a silver machine (silver machine)
In my silver machine

It flies out of a dream
It's antiseptically clean
You gotta know what I mean

Oh, do you want to ride
See yourself going by
The other side of the sky
In a silver machine

Silver machine!
Silver machine!

"Sisters"

"Sisters"



Anna sits beside her research
Silence in the dappled moonlight
Sleeping cat and dying fire
Embers of the past conspire
All her books are closed and scatters
And she feels that nothing matters to her

Outside this dream her sister frequents
Like a cobweb catching fragments
She approaches like a vision
She says "Anna, do you hear me?"
But the picture's always shuttered
All the distant thoughts that flutter to her

I can see them all, I can hear them call
And as she falls I lean to say good-bye
Breathing all the wasted hours
Talking to the dying flowers
Dwarfed by spires and tangled towers
We don't ask the reason why

Anna comes and goes in shadows
Paintings of the open windows
Her photograph is always faded
Her sister's eyes are blank and shaded
Don't you understand her science
Merging in a strange alliance to her

We're together in the future
You and I and her together
All our fates are intermingled
We are plural, we are single
We are leaving for a meeting
And last seen the weather sleeting for her

"Sleepless.night@reality.net"


Are you the same [?]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...

When you're gone
When you're gone
I couldn't see a way out
When you sleep
Watch you sleep

When you smile
When you're gone
No more tracks for me to run on
When you're gone
I couldn't see a way out
When you sleep
Never know the vigil I keep
To watch you sleep

When you smile

"Snowfaller"

"Snowfaller"



Ice is forming 'round this heart of mine
I seen a lot of damage baby, but I won't get hurt this time
Now I got a reason
Now I got a stake
Now I gotta put you back every time you break

Left my ego in the mezzanine
Here he comes again, bustin' up my scene
Now I got a future
Now I gotta try
Now I, I gotta live for you every time you die

Imagine it's snowfaller
Bring winter, just call her
Imagine it's snowfaller

I left my ego in the mezzanine
But here he comes again, bustin' up my scheme
Now I got a future
Now I gotta try
Now I gotta live for you every time you die

Imagine it's snowfaller
Bring winter, just call her
Imagine it's snowfaller

Imagine it's snowfaller
Bring winter, just call her
Imagine it's snowfaller

"So Love May Find Us"

"So Love May Find Us"



I'm feeling uneasy
And I'm feeling weird
Everything's coming down the line
Exactly as I feared

And nobody helps me
And nobody knows
Nobody left in this city with its...
Its hits and its blows

And the first time the end appeared
I was skeptical like the rest
I marvelled as the markets fell
'Cause up till then I guess we've been blessed

First the water
And then the earth
And then the air, yeah
For all it was worth

The fire was subtle
It burned in your bones
It churned in your sea
And left you alone

It was then that I noticed the stars
Dismayed to see them look so old and red
I was hidden as the animals roared
Watched it all from inside your head

And nobody sees me
Now nobody cares
Nobody living in the city
With its graces and airs

The fire was icy
It burned in your veins
It turned in your wake
Shot up your brain

I'm feeling uncertain
I'm feeling exposed
I'm feeling there could be much, much more to this
Than I ever suppose

When I think about afterlife
I become so confused
I shiver when I think of my friend
And I think what's the use

Now we've gotta try, try, try
Gotta learn to say goodbye
Gotta spit right in your eye
And find some truth within this great lie

Feeling I'm injured
I'm feeling so raw
Like some childish imbecile
Like some crashing bore

The fire was distant
It burned without smoke
It learned to stand water
It stood up and spoke

Feeling uneasy
Feeling weird
Everything coming down the line
Exactly as I feared

In between the ether and the water line (I'm hearing voices, screams)
Down beside the engines as we ride and glide and churn inside (he didn't get you somewhere else)
And outside the reckless night, uncertainty delivered me (he wanted our spirits)
In between the cracks have all appeared (so that love may find us)

(Haven't seen her, should believe her, she'll be a living soul)

(Haven't seen her, should believe her, she'll be a living soul)

I don't want your spirit or your doubt
I don't want your deserts or your seas
I don't want the city or it's dreams
I just want to see you on your knees

"Someone Special"

"Someone Special"



I said I've had visions of weeping
She said I've had the same about you
They come to me sometimes when I'm sleeping
I said that's the way for me too
Now it's been a long time and I don't have the mind
To justify what we've been through
Logic is fine and science can be kind
But it can't define me and you

And yet I had something special to say
But this nightmarish world
Makes you throw your thoughts away
As though I was someone special today

We say why are the innocent bleeding
Is there not a thing we can do
They say please swallow this trust we are feeding
And don't worry, it's bad for you
Now it's been a long show and I thought you should know
It's time for us to play our hands
But words are much too slow they lost meaning years ago
And isn't that how this began

Some say now the truth is before you
Others say oh no this is not real
Some say be cruel then they'll adore you
Others say you can't touch till you feel
Now its been a long trip and its only the tip
Of the iceberg I'm trying to melt
Our tickets have been ripped and you've got to bite your lip
When you think about the way that felt
