Eversince I can Remember
04:35
|
|||
|
Ever since I can remember
there's been this tree - in the garden it stood
waiting for love or December
turning to blossom to flower to wood
And the years they pass away
passing by they're heard to say
who are you that you can stay
while everything must die?
Ever since I can remember
being alive
How far back can you remember?
can you recall there was nothing at all
only the breath of an ember
only the thought for what is and what ought
And the years they pass away
passing by they're heard to say
who are you that you can stay
while everything must die?
How far back can you remember
being alive
And creation takes it's course
without affection or remorse
while I'm making myself hoarse
something else has died
and only the tree can remember
and survive

Cold City
04:25

|
You've made your bed
now you must lie in it
maybe you'll cry in it,
maybe so will I
You gave your word
now you've broken it
you should not have spoken it
should have let it lie
Cold City, send me a hope
just want somebody to believe in
Cold City, keep me afloat
just need somebody to believe in
You said you'd wait, now it's so late
think I'll just go and get myself another date
SOLO
Cold City, mix me a hope
just need somebody to believe in
Cold City, life is a joke
with nobody to believe in
now it's so late, it's pointless to wait
think I'll just go and get myself another date
You've made your bed
now you must lie in it
well maybe you'll cry in it,
maybe so will I
You made a promise
now you've broken it
should not have spoken it
you know it was a lie
Cold City, send me a hope
just want somebody to believe in
Cold City, keep me afloat
just need somebody to believe in
Cold City, mix me a hope
just need somebody to believe in
Cold City, keep me afloat
just want somebody, just want somebody
- want somebody to believe in

Modeste the Minor Poet
03:20
|
|||
|
In a house not far from Clichy
on the busy Paris road
lived a poet and his mother
Modeste and Marie Claude
Well his father'd been a pilot
with a penchant for the church
gave up his wings for higher things
left his family to the worst
While Modeste and his mother
sat quietly at home
the boy would chew his ball point
as his mind began to roam
and into his mind came an image
of the lovely soaring bird
with the cliffs of France beneath it
in the lovely poems word
Well the bird it was his father
and the cliffs were him at home
and his mother was the springtide
beneath the lazy foam
Modeste the Minor Poet
with all the time it took
he wrote a note of major sadness
in his mothers laundry book

What Love Isn't
03:20
|
|||
|
I tried to tell her but she would not listen
I tried to help her but she just went on
She let go of the line and now she knows what love is
and now she knows what love isn't!
It's hard to tell when you're up on that rainbow
It's hard to see but it's a long way down
she wants to tell somebody now she knows what love is
and now she knows what love isn't!
- oh what love isn't
She comes to see me turn another page
(turn another leaf)
Right-ing my writing on the wall
(writing on the wall)
She's got to let it out that now she knows
too late she knows what love is
now she knows what love isn't
cos now she knows what love isn't
The phone is ringing but nobody answers
she thinks she's dreaming but she's wide awake
she's got to tell somebody now she knows what love is
oh now she knows what love is
oh how she knows
she's sure she knows what love is
cos now she knows what love isn't
Love aint just the kissing
Love aint that good rhythm
Love aint all the trimmings
Love aint the clean linen
Love aint being in prison
oh what love isn't.

Lord Rockford Moses, being of sound mind
left everything to Mistress Caroline
stepped in his time machine and disappeared from view
leaving the arguments for me and you
And he wished he could be here
but he's done the best he can
Yes he wished he could be here
and he hope you'll understand
that I, Rockford Moses, being of sound mind
leave everything to Mistress Caroline
the five thousand acres and all the precious works of art
the wine in the cellar and the tigers in the park
And he says it's okay, you can give it all away
I don't care what you do
but just be careful what you say about my -
Sweet Love-child Mistress Caroline
she scratched my back, she lit my fag,
she chilled my wine - she done me fine
Sweet Love-child Mistress Caroline
she was my friend, she loved me when
I was alone without a dime
Love her til the end of time

Perfect Love
03:26
|
|||
|
As I lay down my head to go to sleep
there's a place I keep
locked away, deep inside my minds eye view
and I'm there with you
on a distant shore, watching ships sail by
and maybe it's true, and maybe it's you
to show me a PERFECT LOVE
the gift of the God above
it's only a PERFECT LOVE
to Have, to hold, to be.
Tomorrow, when I greet the morning sun
will it all be gone?
I don't know - guess I've got to wait and see
if it's meant to be
you'll be on that shore, as the ship sails in
and maybe it's true, and maybe it's you
to show me a PERFECT LOVE
the gift of the God above
it's only a PERFECT LOVE
to Have, to hold, to be.

Do you mind?

And if I send you all my love
and if I tell you that I'm thinking of you
Do You Mind?
And if I make it crystal clear
how I think about you when you're not here
Do You Mind?
I think your special, I guess you know
I'd like this feeling between us to grow, grow, grow.
And if I send you all my love
if I tell you that I'm thinking of you
and if I said it to you loud and clear
how I love it every moment you're near
I think your special, I guess it shows
I hope this feeling between us just grows, grows, grows.
some sweet day....
And if we meet at the classroom door
and you know it's you I've been waiting for
Do You Mind?
and if we take in the country view
and there isn't anybody just us two
Do You Mind?
Do You Mind? Do you really Mind?
So if I send you all my love
and if I tell you that I'm thinking of you
Do You Mind?
And if I make it crystal clear
how I think about you when you're not here
Do You Mind?

Please don't go
03:27

Please don't go with him
cos it's a sin to have no faith, don't you know?
- it's a sin to play it safe, aint it so?
Please don't go with him, please don't go
Can't you see my heart?
it only beats for you alone, yes it's true
it has no purpose on it's own without you
it's just drifting in the blue
There could never be a love like you and me
no never on this earth
If you know this place you know what love is worth
Like a butterfly
try as you might you just can't see where it's gone
how it could disappear so quick into the sun
still you've seen the perfect one...
There could never be a love like you and me
no never on this earth
If you live here too and you know what love is worth
Please don't go with him
cos it's a sin to have no faith, don't you know?
- it's a sin to play it safe, aint it so?
Please don't go with him, please don't go
Please Don't Go.

Nothing says
03:48
|

This place is cold and sunless as
the arctic winter night
I don't get many letters from the west
Nothing says Goodbye like a tear
Nothing says Goodbye like a tear
Ah - Ah
My love was like
a madman's dream
of Cairo in the snow
I skated on the thin ice of your lakes
Nothing says Hello like a smile
Nothing says Hello like a smile
Ah - Ah
And now my only life is here
amidst the broken swans
and all my tracks were covered long ago
Nothing says Goodbye like a tear
Nothing says Goodbye like a tear
Ah - Ah

The Bit in the Middle
04:13

Love's the bitty in the middle baby, that you can't see
Love's the bitty in the middle that's connecting you and me
And it aint driving in your racing car, it aint flying in your plane
It aint climbing up your stairway, it aint standing in your rain
Love's the bit that just don't fit - it aint joy, it aint pain - No!
Love's the bitty in the middle honey, that you don't know
You don't even know it's there until it turns to go
Love's the cry that fills the sky it's the wind across the plains
It's when you've just lost everything, it's the bit that still remains
Love's the bitty in the middle that you can't change
Love's the bitty in the middle darling, that just wants to please
with sunsets made of marzipan and a moon made of cheese
Love's the bitty in the middle, it's as soft as solid rock
it sleeps up in the starry sky - just can't see the drop
Love's the bitty in the middle that you can't stop

'ere I love thee for my life
'ere I take thee for my wife
One to cleave and one to know
closer as the shadows grow
Summer sun and winter snow
'ere I love thee
'ere I'll love thee, 'deed I do
certain as the morning dew
Pay no heed what people say
let the noise of darkness play
Heaven only knows the way
'ere I love thee
April Flowers at your feet
a picture that no words can speak
Band of silver, heart of gold
true as oft' the story's told
Ages new for ages old
'ere I love thee

So Handsome
04:47

Walking down the secret passage
standing nervous at the door
stepping out into the garden
to the place I've been before
She'll be waiting at the portal
with a message in her hand
and I know that we'll be lovers
yes I know I'll be her man
And she's ever more so handsome
And she's ever more so fine
And I'm ever more in heaven
Just to know that she is mine
Yes I found the secret passage
Yes I walked up to the door
I stepped out into the garden
to the place I'd been before
She was waiting at the stargate
with her camera on line
yes she knew that we'd be lovers
yes she knew it all the time
And she's ever more so handsome
And she's ever more so fine
And I'm ever more in heaven
Just to know she is mine
- I know it.
Yes she's standing in the mirror
Yes she's walking by my side
Yes I need her more than ever
For my lover, for my bride
And she's ever more so handsome
Yes she's ever more so fine
And I'm ever more in heaven
Just to know she is mine

Last Train

Honey, you know I've been abused
Honey, you know I've been confused
Honey, you know I'm on the way
Honey, you know I'm on the train
I'm on the Last Train,
coming down the line
just hope the Last Train
will get me there on time
All along the jetstream
from LA to Nova Scotia
You can hear the wheels a-turning
from the bottom of the ocean
yes it's best to take the last train
than to take no train at all
or stand waiting
on the station evermore.
From the look in your eyes
I can see that we're on the right track
oh and I'm happy just that way
From the look in your eyes
I can see there'll be no turning back
oh and I'm happy just to stay
I'm on the Last Train,
coming down the line
just hope the Last Train
will get me there on time
