Talk On
Lay her gently
gently slowly
lay her in the ground
I don't know if she'll come at all
How About You
Today If find all my world is slowly
turning blue
how about you
I walk around with my head in the sky
and it is blue
how about you
today I find all the things I held so high
are in the ground
I don't know why I don't know where
I don't know if I even really care
I only know that my world's turning blue
how about you
today I see a million faces in fading
shades of blue
how about you
I felt so sure familiar places and
children's skies are blue
how about you
Giving It All Away
She never has to stop and think
never makes you lose a thing
she is so enchanting
I always have to stop a while
cross my hands and close my eyes
I am so demanding
when she smiles she opens wide
touching you inside to lie
life can be so so shaking handed
nervously you're shaking signs
life is better taken blind
still you're left so disenchanted
giving it all away
giving it all away
you always have to stop and think
desperately to find something
that is even handed
I never want to think a thing
that shatters almost everything
life can leave you hanging
Justine
you keep your pretty girls
chained inside the dungeon
and diamonds and pearls
you keep them a'coming
and give them all of your affection
you keep your naughty boys
locked inside the kitchen
and when they make a noise
a swish of your hand keeps them
screaming out for your affection
I don't know the why's and wherefores
and I don't what's wrong or right
I just know at night
you give them all of your affection
you keep your servants down
swinging from the gallows
and when they come round
you smile and you say "hello"
and give them all of your affection
you give them all of your affection
you give them all of your affection
Do Yourself A Favour
Isolated junkyard
letting out the garbage
eating through the core of life
sweet fragrance irritates
in a stale room death awaits
persecute your own self pride
suffocate the new high
ride a thorny mule that cries
dig your grave and jump right in
like a judas pay the price
thirty pieces for a ride
here's the fire take a chew
do yourself a favour
educate your mind
get yourself together
hey there ain't much time
shredded know-how gives away
species of the human race
those funky winds of ups and downs
hall of grit is known too well
heaven still is your hell
poison slowly slowly drowns
let the devil step right in
lucifer's your only friend
ain't a soul gon' pity you
hurdle over time to death
with open arms it waits I bet
don't you wish you could reach ground
Third Shade Of Green
Third shade of blue
the sky and you
like the rain over the sea
third shade of red
the lovers bed
crimson blood and rose
third shade of green is all that you feel
just like my love but half as unreal
Sway
I want to say yes to what you say
if there's a movement then I want to sway
get a piece of the action, uh huh
I want to see you in the crowd
and I want to point your face out very loud
and get a piece of the action, uh huh
don't you want a piece of the action
don't you want a piece of the action
yeah...oh yeah
'sex-o-fact' it slips in vogue
sells a star, furnishes your home
you get a piece of the action, uh huh
violence on the silver screen
you got the most fashionable death since james dean
you get a piece of the action, uh huh
Penny pinching rainy heaven days
every morning traffic
every night I've had enough
every day compromise
life's no surprise after much
'someday people' lock themselves away
saving up for another empty..
penny pinching rainy heaven day
no-one talks at night
they scream and fight and say too much
my wife dreams all days
my life says it has heard enough
One of those days
and it looks like one of those days
when my valentine ain't so funny yeah
ain't so funny yeah
and it looks like one of those days
when I'm holding the same old conversation
and it looks like one of those days
when I'm losing all my concentration
Is She Coming Home
Is she coming home, I'll leave the light on
but through times and space she'll go
if she's coming home she won't tell me
and I wonder if I should know
wonder if I should feel something
wonder if I should know but it's dark in here
tip-toe softly do not wake her
as she sleeps so very slow
dim the light on her day-dream
but her dreams you'll never know
see her fading dress and frame it's colours
for a memory you'll long to know
drape the covers in her bedroom
but life freezes with melting snow
ah...is she coming home
Blue Deep Ocean
free blue deep ocean
bed of evolution
forgive the ignorance
of man with money in his hand
how can we freely agree
I hang my head for you
