The Northwood

I went up to the deep Northwood
Because of fire was in my hair
Thinking of her face, I left
The way she looked as I left her there
Her words still ring in my ears
Thrill is gone after all these years

I went out to the deep Northwood
Because of fire was in my hair
Thinking of her face, I left
The way she looked as I left her there
Her words still ring in my ears
The thrill is gone after all these years
Our love gets thrown away

He went out to the deep Northwood
Left a fire rage in my hair
Thinking of

The Faster I Breathe, The Furter I Go

I'm walking outside and
The headlights are blinding
I'm walking on Bleaker
The street of no cheer
The yellow cabs driving
I'm taking a ride and
The panic, the laughter, the stink of disaster

Disaster
Disaster
Disaster
The faster
The faster
I'm breathing
The further
I'm sinking
My head aches
My mouth dry
It feels like
It's war time
The heat and
The traffic
There's hell on
This planet
It's spinning
Much faster
Disaster
Disaster

Disaster
Disaster
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing

Let's walk now
On side roads
Let's walk in
The shadows

There's lovers
They're kissing
I see something missing
He's ready
To take her
I don't even
Rate her
Loving and loving
I hear
The flies buzzing

Faster
Faster
Faster
Faster
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing
I'm breathing

Keep walking
Keep walking

Falling

How to walk and where to run
How to walk and where to run
I see you kissing in other peoples arms
See you kissing in cheap bars
How to walk and where to run
How to walk and where to run
I see you kissing oblivious
Loving only your pain
I'm walking in oblivion
Walking in oblivion
I walk with a childs face
Remembering our days
Walking in oblivion
Walking in oblivion
Its gotta give, its gotta change
Today is the day

To all the men who I've loved
To all the men who I've loved
Something to free your angry hearts
I'm opening up my arms
To all the men whom I have loved
To all the men whom I have loved
Speak of the fear inside
It's time to change, there still is time
Do you remember walking?
Do you remember wtaching?
Our faces in the falling hearts of children
To all the men whom I have loved
To all the men whom I have loved
I dedicate my song saying
Today is the day
Today is the day

So we fall
And we fall again
And I have come
To tell you today
That I loved you
There's still time to say
We're falling hearts of our children

Through hating and loving
Through lucking and nothing
Through all manner of sorrows
That I have spoken
I open up my tender heart
I open up my tender heart
To all the men whom I have loved
All of those who I adored
But I remember something
I remember walking
When my heart was frozen
With that feeling
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
Turning round and round saying
Today is the day
Today is the day

So we fall
And we fall again
And I have come
To tell you today
That I loved you
There's still time to say
We're falling hearts of our children

Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling

The Bay

The dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

Said Betty she's fine
And Betty she's torn
And Betty makes love
Like woman at all

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep

But oh my eyes
Making fools out of me
They say love is blindness (They say God forgives)
I could no longer see (But I can't learn the same)

Now I've no more to give
And I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?

Sweeter Than Anything

In photographs
I've seen him laugh
Man overboard
Sun on his back

Summer was here
I remember it well
How he stood in the shade
How we both kissed and fell

How can this be?
There's nothing left here
How can this be?
There's nothing left here

So sad our
So sad our

So sad our
So sad our

Our memory

Now he talks in his sleep
Says I've never known peace
And I don't know him now
He's a stranger to me

How can this be?
There's nothing left here
How can this be?
There's nothing left here

We were
Never more than a dream
Brief as
Summer or spring
Sweeter than anything

Stone

I don't wanna kiss you
I've already kissed you
And you said 'kiss me again'
And all the hills were rolling
And all the clouds unravelled
Looked down upon our shadows
Looked down upon our history
And then you came towards me

But my heart has turned to stone
What if my heart has gone
The world is weary, tired enough
I need help to hold this love

Was it that you told me
That you'd learnt to unfold me
To read my heart like a map
To throw it away and not bring it back
No-one in this house is sleeping
We lie awake just listening
For something human, something apart
To hear something other than our own hearts

My heart has turned to stone
What if my heart has gone
The world is weary, tired enough
I need help to hold this love

But the words just grind me down
When your tears just tire us out
When the words just grind us down

Somebody's Down, Somebody's Name

Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw it all happen, take place
At my window, I was looking down
I had no time, just time to say
Hold on, I'm coming
And he was lying there, it's all just too late

Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw a fall and it all take place
At my window, I was looking down
See people, you can't be safe
Hold on, I'm coming
It's moved on now, and it all passed, and it's all too late

Somebody's down, somebody's name
Saw it all with my own eyes
Saw it all as clear as day
Clear as blue, blue fucking daylight
I say

Hold on
I'm coming
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Somebody's down, somebody's name
Hold
On
No
More
Hold on
No more
Hold on, I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late

Somebody's down, somebody's name
Pushing up daisies out of the ground
Thought I heard him call her name
By the time he hit the ground
Another day, another town
Another body on the ground
By the time the sky was grey
Nobody down, nobody came
I said
Oh lord
No more
Oh lord
No more
Oh lord
I'm coming
Don't you tell me it's too late

66 Promises

66 promises
Fell from your lips
66 kisses
To rest on my child fingertips
66 lovers
To come till I tell
66 positions to
Take on this well-worn trail

66 magicians
Delivered the goods
Documented our marriage
For some silent film in Hollywood

Is it not what you thought it would be?
Was it not what you wanted it to be?
Was I not what you thought I would be?
Is it not what you wanted it to be?

60 mouths talking
But making no sense
Of life and of liberty
And the pursuit of happiness
Waiting for something
To smash a few holes
In the wall of good fortune
And the windows to a outer world

And 66 promises
And came in a kiss
Provided a meaning
Now I see how it really is

And it's not what I thought it would be?
And it's not what I wanted it to be?
And it's not what I thought it would be?
And it's not what I wanted it to be?

Reeling

I wanna bathe in milk
Eat grapes
Robert DeNiro sit on my face
I can't sleep for thinking
Send my head a reeling

I wanna go to spain
Spend nights
Just sipping on nectar and ice
I can't sleep for thinking
Send my head a reeling

You bet that I'm Wayne ...
Eliminate a whole race
Wanna make the shit hit the fan
I can't sleep for thinking
Send my head a reeling

Even Aphrodite
She's got nothing on me
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon

Dye my hair on stage
Call on my man Romeo
Come and climb my braids
Reeling
Reeling

Even Aphrodite
She'll have nothing on me

Reeling
Reeling

Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Take me to the moon

Reeling
Reeling
Reeling
Reeling

Rebecca

I'm walking slowly, about the sea
Lover by lover, I pass them on the beach
The sun is shining, so bright today
Your voice is singing to me, across the waves

Ah

There's a young boy, makes eyes at me
Does he mouth my name, or is this just a dream?
I know inside that I can really love
The waves are glistening, like heaven from above

And here we'll stay
And sing forever of peace
I know we found love here by the sea

Could this be heaven, could this be peace
No more than sunshine and sand and waters deep
I'd always dreamed that life could be like this
Forever high and sigh from kiss to kiss

I know I've found love here by the sea

One Time Too Many

He's seen me
So clearly
Come over
And get my number

He'd come round
He'd break down
Say baby
Don't ever leave me

He'd please me
He'd tease me
One time too
One time too many

Nina In Ecstasy

I'm Nina
I feel love
I'll be safe
I'll be yours
Ever more
I'll be safe

Mama

Once Nina
Was a young girl
Now she's dead
Grew older
Grew colder and
Lost her way

Mama

Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone?
Where's Your mama gone?
Far, far away
Far, far away

Nina In Ecstasy

Fate has always, one might say
Driven me from place to place
Love on the stage, love on the stage
Up and carried me away

I have pursued my dream
All across the sky, all across the soil
And left my joyous town
When I was young, I watched it from my door
With the eyes of a child that seemed so clear

My own private revolution
My own private revolution
In my own private revolution
My own private revolution

Over the town, we fly out
Lovers embracing outside the golden gates
Love on the stage, love on the stage
Nor must we endure any separation

Over the town (revolution)
We fly out (my own private revolution)
Over the city (made my own private revolution) (revolving)
We fly out (my own private revolution) (revolving)

I have found, purity
Simplicity, inside the face of children
The voice of divinity
In my own private revolution

Over the town (my own private revolution)
Over the city (made my own private revolution) (revolving)
I will keep you, tempt me, must be heaven sent (my own private revolution) (revolving)
(with my own private revolution) (revolving)

Memphis

You're breathing in my mouth
I'll take it, I'll take it for you
You wanna sing
Then sing it through me
You've got something left to say

Untimely, you were taking away
Unlikely, out if turn
When you still got so much to say
Well I'll write it, a song for you

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm with you
I'm singing

You said there's a special place
And it's scaring the shit out of me
In Memphis on Valentines Day
You wrote it in a letter to me
Well I wish I had given you more time
To say thank you, my beautiful friend
But sometimes you gotta send it away
To bring it, to bring it back again

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm with you
I'm singing

You'll always have open eyes
You'll always have a special place
In Memphis on Valentines Day
Die suddenly at a wonderful age
Though were you ready, were you ready to go?
When you still got so much to say
Somehow I know you're drowning slow
Receiving just everything

But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
I'm know that
You're smiling

You're peaceful
You're smiling

Maniac

I need a man
To bring me love
To make me sing
I said I need a man
To make me feel
Like I'm a queen
I said to take me to the god heights
And kiss the devil on the mouth

I need a man
To make me moan
To make me bad
I need a man
To drive me slow
To drive me mad
I said to take me to the god heights
And kiss the devil on the mouth
To leave me, oh no no no no

I need a man
His heart is stone
His mother's bad
I need a man
His heart is stone
The deepest black
His heart is stone
His mother's bad
His heart is sick
The deepest black

Lying In The Sun

I'm lying in the sun
I'm lying with my love
Into his blackened hair
I swear I saw dove

He is the one like god
Comes clear before my eyes
I'm kneeling on the ground
My love it tastes like wine

Come on and step inside
Come on and step inside

I'm lying in the sun
I'm lying with my love
Into his blackened hair
I swear I saw a dove
