NO GOD
03:39

He’s free to be - like no before
Beware for I’m - your holy lord
For I have been accounted for
No god no god
What we did before
Rejoice to hear disaster fall
He’s free to be just like you my lord
Oooooo
One night I rose
Fresh blood and awe
I bleed your seeds - like no before
She’s free to be just like you my lord
No god no god
What we did before
Oooooooo
Was once - a creature - that could stand tall
The alchemist showed me the door
This cold, this cold, it will kill us all
We’re further north - Than Montreal
Ooooooo
Take it down
Take it down
I’m way - more miserable - than before
I cry - I weep - I show remorse
My god, my god - your promise falls
I am - a human - after all

ALL I WANT
03:13
|
|||
|
All I want
Is a chair to sit in
A cigarette, I give in
A room that looks out
Over the sea
Away from the hustle
Just a room for me
Suck in blue air
It might seem I don’t care
Escape from the city
And sit in this chair
That’s all I want
All I want
is another cigarette
I know I told you - I quit
Read a book
Or lie that you have
Of course you can daydream
We’re good like that
Escape the confines
Of material wealth
Walk under the stars
Drink to good health
That’s all I want

MORVEREN
04:28
|
|||
|
So beautiful and so much grace
when she first appears on the scene.
She has plenty of followers,
Some tinged with jealousy it seems.
She’d never stay that long,
But she always dressed in green.
Longing for a normal life,
Not one trapped in the sea.
She prayed the dead life was over
It dragged on, spectacularly.
Morveren
The girl from the sea
Morveren
The girl from the sea
The girl dressed in green
Sunday was the only day
She found some relief
She fell in love with one voice
in the church he sang every week
Maybe he was calling her
He kept her secret so discreet.
Months of longing followed
Until he could bear it no longer
Followed her to Pendour Cove
And disappeared into the sea.
Morveren
The girl from the sea
Morveren
The girl from the sea
The girl dressed in green

WHISPER PARK
04:18
|
|||
|
It’s a slow long walk
With shadows so tall
Today I’m feeling lost
It’s not going that well
What was the trigger
I wanna call it a lie
I wanna walk quicker
I wish I could fly
outta outta
Of whisper park
It feels like mud
But it’s inside my brain
Some words seem to trigger
Downward spiral drain
I’m the fish in a bowl
Bird in a cage
The rat with nothing to eat
The words are just faded
The page has gone blank
The great disengagement
[On the winding path]
That’s whisper park
Can’t catch a ride
Outta whisper park
Like a clock ticking
When it stops it’s almost
thinking
That damn light keeps flicking
At my bones like someone
picking
It’s hard to explain
Some ways we’re the same
I didn’t want this today
Didn’t want that.
Get me

COMIC
03:29
|
|||
|
I’m quiet I’m bold
I’m silent then I scream
Tell me the futures bright
Looks quite impossible to me
As it all unfolds
I stand before you dressed in red
It’s plain, It’s obvious
I’ve been miss-read
So Hey, just so everybody knows
I’m on the high wire
It won’t hurt if I let go.
Hey, up here I am the comic
I’m on a high today
I won’t let go
Minutes from now I’ll be knocking
on the gate
Confused how the passion turned
to hate
I gave you something, That would
rule this place
Look at the wreckage, I think you
lost the race
I possessed everything a girl
could want
Beauty, brains, I was something
else
To our offspring - you were
nonchalant
In a way I won it all except my
head was chopped off
Cause
Hey I’m Anne Boleyn
My heads on the chopping block
But they know I never gave in.
Hey, just so everybody knows
I’m on the high wire
It won’t hurt if I let go.
Hey, up here I am the comic
I’m on a high today
I won’t let go
Hey, just so everybody knows
I’m on the high wire
It won’t hurt if I let go.
Hey I’m Anne Boleyn
My heads on the chopping block
But they know I never gave in.
Hey, just so everybody knows
I’m on the high wire
It won’t hurt if I let go.
Hey, up here I am the comic
I’m on a high today
I won’t let go
Hey I’m Anne Boleyn
I am the comic

I WON'T BE CIVILISED
03:52
|
|||
|
I’m gonna party on the street
I’m going party in the laneways
I’ll be outta control
I’ll be like Mr Hyde.
I won’t be civilised!!!
I’m gonna try everything
Take myself to the edge
Stretch myself in the strangest of ways
Might find myself, dangling off the gauge
I won’t be civilised!!!
I won’t be civilised!!!
You can’t claim me
I won’t be civilised!!!!!
You can’t tame me
I won’t be civilised!!!!!
I won’t be civilised!!!
Tonight you won’t know me
And you definitely won’t own me
I’ll be brighter than a shooting star
So outta reach, I’m going that far.
I won’t be civilised!!!
You can’t shame me
I won’t be civilised!!!!!
You can’t flame me
I won’t be civilised!!!!!

OVERLOAD
03:40
|
|||
|
If you look at me
I’m sure I look fine
Underneath
I can’t tow the line
So I’m taking these small steps
It’s a lonely road
And I’m feeling like my heart is
broken
It’s Overload.
I wanted change
Step out from the shadows
And now it’s just me, I’m all
alone
Out on the pathway
It’s a cracked
and lonely road
Feeling my heart is broken
It’s Overload.
In a dream everything’s old
Not sure I’m any wiser
But I’m sure feeling old
Now I’m awake,
I didn’t see the awful truth
It’s like a dreadful mistake
I tasted, forbidden fruit
Sometimes it feels like I just
wanna flee
Holding up some invisible sign
Can anybody see me?
It’s a cracked
and lonely road
Feeling my heart is broken
It’s Overload.
I try not to hurt myself
But there’s no turning back
See my tears, they’re freely
flowing.
My splintered heart, It’s really
lonely.
Shattered, in pieces on the
ground
Some days I sure am lost, never
to be found.
It’s a cracked
and lonely road
And I’m feeling my heart is
broken
It’s Overload.
And I’m feeling my heart is
broken
It’s Overload
It’s Overload

I’ll write you
Every day
Follow the pathway
Follow me
Walk the track
Deep in the snow
I’m always itchy
You should know
Take in the air
The summer light
Watch the full moon
Take flight
Sleep through the day
Walk the night
Find the darkness
And the light.
Contact
You're precious
There’s few of you
Washed with mystery
Glowing gold
Laced with velvet
And black that shines
Walk with me
Disasters fine
Take in the air
The summer light
Watch the full moon
Take flight
Sleep through the day
Walk the night
Find in the darkness
Transcend Bright
Contact,
Contact
Hey Contact

BAD FOR EACH OTHER
04:57
|
|||
|
What a day ahead
Full of pains and aches
And the waiting on the telephone
It didn’t work that methadone
Frank blamed the world
Adele just wanted the high
At times he wanted to swap her
But he was pretty weak inside
Bad for each other
And not so good For anyone else
But they had that thing in common
That Frank and Adele
One last bend
One last high
Frank and Adele
Went and died
With few possessions they didn’t need
They hit the road with speed
When they took that fatal bend
The clear warning they didn’t heed.
One last bend
One last high
Frank and Adele
Went and died

THE AGE OF CONTEMPT
04:03
|
|||
|
We look for something to follow
But there’s nothing there
A big black hole of bullshit
fills the air
All our dreams
Lie torched and shattered
To know where we’re going
Is it asking too much?
But
It’s the age of contempt.
To not know where we’re going
To not know - that we’re there.
No matter who pleas
The caps are melting
The solution is clear
But no one agrees
The wise are all knowing
Holding up the signs
Does anyone listen?
About how much time
It’s the age of contempt.
To not know what we’re doing
To not show - anything or care.
Staring down the barrel
Like the thylacine
I know who started that
They’re just like you and me
A fatal flaw
In an already rotten system
Banging on, how to fix it
With false promises and all.
It’s the age of contempt.
To not know what we’re doing
To not know - that we’re already
there.
It’s the age of contempt.
To not know, what we’re doing
To not show - anything or care.
