Ben in a dress
Of his older sister Tess
Sashays to daddy with a big smile
Do you think I'm pretty?
No!
Shall I put mum's lipstick on?
Not likely
Anne won't comb her hair
Mommy thinks it's a nightmare
All those cute dresses lie in rags now
You could be so pretty.
No!
Don't you wanna look like Kate?
Not likely

Medusa

Green eyes of mine
Aroused rapture
But that is gone
Since Poseidon
At Athene's forced his semen in me
Furious Athene please
Please show mercy
Furious Athene
Eyes that once shone
Just one glance turns
Now to stone
Furious Athene...
Gods damn Hermes
The Nymphs and Athene
Who blemished me twice
They all garnished Perseus
To chop off my head
Slated as arm
And powerful guarding
Of Athene's shield

Sitting in the sun
Thinking about
What I’ve done
My heart is racing, my hands are sweaty
Will I ever
Get out of here?
I got to think
When did this train
Get off the rail?
I can’t ever
Get it back again
Called my dad today
He said his friend
Had passed away
My heart is racing, my hands are sweaty
Will I ever
Get out of here?
There is love
And fear
And I don’t know where
To put it

Search For Lost Time
05:15

My life is a search for lost time
And I still can’t see
My life has been a search for a long time
I can’t get over the past
If only we could do it all again

Huntsman's Quarry
04:27
|
|||
|
As you turned around the corner you were face and body
Radiating a desire that I kept my secret
Like a predator closing up your eyes said "you are mine"
You said high with your blue eyes and I fell for you baby
Didn't listen to the whisper telling me to run or to hide
Your strong hand passed a scent and you took me for a ride
Between old grapevines, beneath a summers sky
I learned love comes in different categories
You liked your quarry on a plate with a glass of wine
So divine
This pretty naive deer learned fast to lure and decoy
A hunter's bound to the spoor of his quarry, baby
binding ribbons 'round this deer's neck let you sink in my esteem
I didn't know what love was but this lacked all vague resemblance
We were trying to reflect ourselves in each others eyes
So before this got ugly it was time to say goodbye
Between old grapevines, beneath a winters sky
I ceased from being the huntsman's quarry
A last glass of wine - this is our story
There's a picture of you
A letter or two
That I call mine
It's all in me, it's all in you
There's a picture of you
Some memories, too
That I enshrine
All of me, all of you...
I still feel that ribbon 'round my neck sweet darling

Echo

The sea loves the shore
It strokes and caresses
A lover so pure
I know
No force, no cure
Stops that lick and lap
I know
I know
The sea loves the shore
But I wonder what does the shore feel
'Cos I don't know
When the tide runs dry
Does it sigh with grief or salvation?
High, high, high
Night star in the morning sky
Far away I miss you much
Don't come closer, don't you touch
High, high, high
When your bright light fades
Will I feel alone or lonely?
Apart from the sea
The shore would be desert
A lock without key
I know
Would this destiny
Be bad luck or good fortune
I don't know

Eight
04:31

There's a mark a shining spark telling she's different
She can't hide it
Just got eight longs to be straight and being invited
To a birthday party once
In her books it's much easier
To walk this road downtown
In her books it's much easier
And the road stops turning
Feels a little bit easier
To keep her eyes to the ground
Feels a little bit easier
Twenty-one at home alone again she pictures
Admiration in their eyes
In her books it's much easier...
Half past eight, again she's late her boss is waiting
For his odd new dental nurse

OMG
05:40
|

|
I shouldn’t be here
It is wrong
And you shouldn’t come here
But Oh My God!
And look at her
She’s a drifter
And don’t interrupt me
My mind is going
And I don’t want to lose my train of thought
Everything she does is mean
But nobody moves like her
And look at her
I would die for a taste of her scent
And I got to learn to be my best friend
‘Cause loneliness creeps up again

Sunday Morning
05:03
|

|
The club's smack of last night fumes from your hair
You look good on Sunday Morning
The white stain on the black shirt you still wear
You look good on Sunday Morning
It suits you fine
Ira let's turn a blind eye on tomorrow Ira
Ira let's have some T and watch a silly Monroe movie Ira
Stay
The litter swirls around deserted streets
Life looks good on Sunday Morning
A white noise echoes last nights pounding beats
Life tastes just fine on Sunday Morning
And it suits you fine

Come Home Swiftly
05:29
|
|||
|
When the party's over 'n hot turns to cold
When despite your youth you're feeling old
Lick your wounds and come home swiftly
When your heart trembles in the night
And you can't tell wrong from right
Come on over, come home swiftly
We'll leave a light on by the door
You won't be needing keys
We'll leave a light on by the door
Near, far - either way we are
A harbour for your ship to moor
In rags or magnificent, we know who you are
No need to sneak through our back door
Near, far - stronger than we are
We gravitate towards the core
And centrifugal forces won't pull us apart
We gravitate towards the core
When tomorrows offers taste so stale
When all at once the truth unveils
Let it go and come home swiftly
When you feel lonely in a crowded place
And you can't glimpse a friendly face
Come on over, come home swiftly
We'll leave a light on by the door
You won't be needing keys
We'll leave a light on by the door
Near, far - either way we are
A harbour for your ship to moor
In rags or magnificent, we know who you are
No need to sneak through our back door
Near, far - stronger than we are
We gravitate towards the core
And centrifugal forces won't pull us apart
We gravitate towards the core
May mighty forces pull us all apart
We gravitate towards the core
