Siren
London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)
I'm coming, I'm coming home to you
I'm alive I'm a mess
I can't wait to get home to you
To get warm, warm and undressed
There've been changes beyond my dreams
Everybody wants me to sing
There've been changes beyond my grasp
Things I'm sinking in
So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do
And when somebody knows you well
Well there's no comfort like that
And when somebody needs you
Well there's no drug like that
So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
And where I'm home, curled in your arms
And I'm safe again
I'll close my eyes and sleep, sleep
To the sound of London Rain
So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do
Blood Of Me
Big ring around the moon
It's gonna rain hard soon
I know you're gonna leave
It's like a storm inside
You're the blood of me
You're the truth that hurts
You're the memory
You're the drug that works
Why do people change
When hearts, hearts, still beat the same?
You're the blood of me
You're the truth that hurts
You're the memory, yeah
You're the drug that works
I don't believe you when you tell me
I don't believe you when you hold me
I don't believe you
You're my medicine
I don't believe you when you fuck me
You're the blood of me
You're the blood of me
You're the truth that hurts
You're the memory, yeah
You're the memory
You're the drug that works
You're the blood of me, yeah
You're the blood of me
You're the truth that hurts, hurts
You're the memory, yeah
You're the memory
You're the drug that works
Big ring around the moon
Gonna rain hard soon
Heart And Shoulder
Wanna cry for you
Would it do any good?
If I rained for you
It would just be water
And the night's with you
And the storm's in your hand
And you're down, and you're down
And I can't lift you
I'm powerless to change your world
I'm powerless to stop the hurt
But I'll give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
Over and over
Wanna run for you
Would it do any good?
If I flew for you
You would still be standing
And it's hard watching
'Cause I'm part of you
And it's hard not to
Not to know what I can do
I'm powerless to change your world
I'm powerless to stop the hurt
I'm trying hard to be your tower of strength
I'm trying hard to bring you back to joy
I'll give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
When the night just cuts you through
And the dream is lost to you
When you're worried and confused
I will give you my heart give you my shoulder
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
Over and over
Time and again
Give you my shoulder
I will
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
I will
Time and again
Over and over
I give you my heart
Give you my shoulder
What A Feeling
Now's the time when this will turn to fruit
All the poppies gonna push up through
And I can see the ground below
The places that I know, disappearing
And I can see the winter fade
I don't feel so afraid it's clearing
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
Life is only half way in our hands
Years have passed while I was making plans
And I could never find the words
I always felt absurd, and always outside
But now I know I shouldn't care
There's a song already there
Waiting inside
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
And I can feel the crock unwind
The parts of me I tied are running
And all the birds are in my head
The laughter that was dead is coming
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a feeling
The laughter that was dead is coming
Oh, what a feeling
The laughter that was dead is coming
Valley Of Sound
Move me
Don't try
Let the music reach me tonight
Push me over into something new
I've been riding all day on a bus
Just to listen to you
I love, I love, I love I love the look
In your trespassed eyes
I love, I love, I love I love the way
You can make me cry
Sink me into stirred-up sea
Something I can drown in
Only you can do this to me
I love, I love, I love I love the look
In your trespassed eyes
I love, I love, I love I love the way
You can make me cry
Fill me up
And drop me down, yeah
Now I'm alive in the valley of sound
In the valley of sound
In the valley of sound, yeah
In the valley of sound
I love, I love, I love I love the look
In your trespassed eyes, yeah
I love, I love, I love I love the way
You can make me cry
Yeah yeah, in the valley of sound
Hmm, The valley of sound, yeah yeah yeah
Valley, valley, you can,
The valley of sound
Yeah.
I'm The Girl
I got a memory a thousand years old
And I know secrets I've never been told
And I got jewels I haven't found
And they'll return me to the ground
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
And I'm a Siren, I wreck you on my shores
And I'm G-diva, I'll call you back for more
And I'm Medusa and I'm your favourite doll
And I'm a Georgia O'Keefe hanging on your wall
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm Joan of Arc
I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter before
And I remember being born just sound and lights
Sound and light and light
And I remember the first time, skin on skin
Yeah, in the arms of the night
Well how many times have we looked up into the starry skies
And how many times have we felt the passion rise
Every ruby-lipped girl baby, old lady, squaw junkie, girl after girl after girl
Every muse, whore, good witch, princess, back-arching year after year after year
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm Joan of Arc
I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter of the mother and the daughter before
Reach your hand out
Now at first love when she said
Yeah, she loved you
Hmm, I'm a girl, I'm a girl, I'm a girl...
Winter Blue
Kiss your lashes, hiss you low
I'm driven to you like the driven snow
There's a place for us to lie
For every lover there's a piece of sky
To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
You know that this was meant to be
Long ago a hundred years from now
Tossing on an open sea
Love so good it's easy to go down
To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Love you like a jungle fever
I'll never never never, I'll never leave
Through every vein and every fibre
I'll never never never, I'll never leave
To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Winterblue, winterblue ...
Winterblue, my yellow summer ...
I'm Alive
Your hands were covered in paint
The pillow smothered my cry
You were half charmer half snake
I lived in dreamtime
But I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
Some nights I'd sleep in the car
Just to escape you
You drove devotion too far
No-one could save you
But I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
I still have visions of you
I still have nights to get through
And when the trust isn't true
I have these visions of you
I have these visions of you
And I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
I'm alive
There's nothing more to say
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
I'm alive
There's nothing more to say
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
Widescreen
Lately I've been slipping down
Thinking I'm the only one
Drifting in and out of blue
But destiny's a state of mind
And today I'm doing fine
Rolling through the afternoon with you
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
I will be your misfit queen
I'll take you where the grass is green
Past the littered sidewalk to the sun
I hear the traffic move outside
Yeah but if I close my eyes
I can make it sound like waves rolling on
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
And if we lie still can you feel the room
Feel the city, can you feel it move?
Tell your body, your body from mine?
Can you la la la lie
Can you feel I still, can you feel the room
Feel the city, can you feel it move?
Can you tell your body, your body from mine?
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
And it's a widescreen world around me
And I'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
I'm lyin' on the backseat of my mind
Paper Cup
Wishful thinking I might be yours
Drifting on every step
I'm always drawn to the dark horse
Sweet sweet, oh nothing's said
And every dream, every, is just a dream after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
Wishful thinking you might be mine
Every shiver sends
One breath under the bridge of sighs
Bending where the river bends
And every dream, every, is just a dream, after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
And every dream, every, is just a dream after all
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
And everything stands so still when you dance
Everything spins so fast
And the night's in a paper cup
When you want it to last
Avalanche
I lie in a field,
In the trailer-park of my dreams
Saving up for someday,
But what does someday mean?
And I'm young but I let it slip on by
I'm co-dependent and I'm lost inside
And you, you look like freedom
You look like the avalanche I need
The avalanche I need
And there's a road, leads away from here
And every day I stand in place and watch it disappear
And there's a bird, circles in my mind
Security's the whore in me that never lets me fly
And you, you look like freedom
And you, you look like change
You look like the avalanche I need
The avalanche I need
With your sunburned soul
And your hunger for the road
I'm snowblind and I'm crying after
Yeah, like nothing matters
When you go down take me
When you go down, yeah, make me
Go down
I got a hunger you could feed
You're the avalanche I need
The avalanche I need
And I know it's a fine line divides
The place I'm looking for and what's inside
And I know it's a long, long way
Through the outskirts of everyday
And you, you took like freedom,
And you, you look like change
You look like the avalanche I need
The avalanche I need
Avalanche
Coming over me
Avalanche
It's coming over me
Avalanche, avalanche
Avalanche, avalanche
Avalanche, avalanche
Avalanche, avalanche.
Make You Mine
You're the one I think about time after time
You're the one that comes to me, visions in the night
I want to complicate your feelings
I want to heat you up inside
Yeah yeah yeah, I wanna make you mine
I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in
Gonna make my bed beside you
In the bluebells of your soul
Gonna slip into your river, babe
Linger in your shoals
And when the stars are bright like fireflies
And the night is black as coal
Yeah yeah yeah, I'm gonna make you mine
I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your sweet honey
I kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in
On another side of time
Before the sea runs
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine, yeah
I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
In the bluebells of your soul
Yeah before the sea runs dry
Ruby Red
I've got a ruby red desire
Like a virus like my last hope
I've got a ruby red desire
I've got to hear the red bird sing
I've got to rip this cord
And rinse this lazy blood
Clear a path and walk away
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
And every memory's a dream
And each uncertainty reminds me why
I saw a kid outside playing by a moongate
Making paper things that fly
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
I want to live ...
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
I want to live ...
Not Only Human
Morning is almost here - let it wait
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate
I don't think I could breathe now with you gone
But it's not weakness it's just something I've begun
Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human, maybe
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human
When you're sleeping you're ceramic
You're surrounded by little stars
Every shimmer is a searchlight
Every planet is ours
Change the street change the decade
Still the longing's left inside
But why am I too small to carry you?
Why does twilight make me cry?
Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human, maybe
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
We're not only human
Life is something set to music
I can hear it when I'm sad
There's a chord in every muscle
Every kiss you ever had
There's a power when you're near me
In our heads or in our bones
I know nothing but I'm guessing
When we die we're not alone
Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human, maybe
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
We're not only human
Not only human
Not only human
Not only human
Not only, yeah, human.
No, human, human.
Human.
Grow Young
( Walk this world EP )
Sitting here on the water's edge
Now that the storm is gone
First time in years it feels like
Nothing's wrong
There've been a lot of changes
I was so lost for a while
Sitting here I remember
How it's easy to smile
Oh let me grow young
Like a brand new day
Like I've just begun
Like a shiver like a rush
Like a soul I might touch
Let me grow young
Nobody to tell me where to go
Nobody to call
Just me and the kiskadees
And my guitar
Oh let me grow young
Like a brand new day
Like I've just begun
Like a shiver like a rush
Like a soul I might touch
Let me grow young
Gotta try to remember this feeling
Gotta store it up inside
Bring it out when it's cold in the city
And I'm worried and tired
Oh let me grow young
Like a brand new day
Like I've just begun
Like a shiver like a rush
Like a soul I might touch
Let me grow young
Water From Wine
( Walk this world EP )
I've lost my headlights
Dark lets me see too much
And I'm just groping
for anything to touch
Am I a seabird
I have the strangest cry
Am I just drifting
Am I too far inside
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
I can hear thunder
But I am made of stone
I'm reaching out
I'm reaching out but I'm still alone
I look for my body
But it just disappears
Nobody knows me
Everything feels like years
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
I look for joy
It's in the cracks sometimes
I can hear music
But it's been locked inside
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
Everything's changing
Everything's changing my mind
I'm going backwards
Backwards to water from wine
Every night owns me, nothing is holy
Every night owns me, nothing is holy
Blind
( Walk This World EP )
I've been searching for the answers
I've been diving in the sea
I've been haunted by the shadows
Of what we could have been
And it's not that I'm broken
And it isn't that I bleed
But when you pulled the stars from the heavens
It got so hard to see
And where would I put my hands now?
It's over now, we had our time
It's over now, we had our time
But you leave me, blind
Will you leave me, blind
Dove for the treasures
We went deep down for the pearls
And we could have cracked it open
Yeah, it could have been so good
And where would I put my hands now?
It's over now, we had our time
It's over now, we had our time
I feel this pain, I know I'm alive
If love is wrong, then I'm doing time
I feel myself, small like a child
My love has gone, how will I survive
It's everywhere, it's in the trees
All those stars and I can't see
I'm blind, I'm blind, I'm blind
And how will you think of us
A crease along your hand
Lying at these temple doors
Beautiful and sad
And where would I put my hands now?
It's over now, we had our time
It's over now, we had our time
But you leave me, blind
Will you leave me, blind
It's in the trees
All those stars and I can't see
Oh, you leave me, you leave
You leave me, blind, blind
Ooh, you leave me, you leave me
It's in the trees
You leave me, you leave me
Blind
Days And Nights
( Heart & Shoulder EP )
I'm sorry I just get worried sometimes
And it comes out like anger
And then I take myself by surprise
I find how I feel for you
With a little bit of time
I might come of nothing
With a little bit of time
You might feel the same
'Cause you are my days and nights
You don't realize
You're my days
You're my nights
Each minute is a wide open space
There's too much I know for sure
Tonight I probably push you away
All I want is to feel you close
With a little bit of time
I might come of nothing
With a little bit of time
You might feel the same
'Cause you are my days and nights
You don't realize
I don't wanna feel this strong if it makes me weak
I don't wanna hold on to what's killing me
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Just like the moon and the tide
I'm strapped in my senses
These feelings are mountains sometimes
It's not good pretending
With a little bit of time
I might come of nothing
With a little bit of time
You might feel the pain
'Cause you are my days and nights
You don't realize
'Cause you are my days and nights
I don't wanna feel this strong if it makes me weak
I don't wanna hold on to what's killing me
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
Nothing
( Heart & Shoulder EP )
The truth comes over me
Like wine, like summer heat
The world, it moves too fast
I miss my simple past
And I can see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing
Child, she knows it's good
She plays the way she should
Her days, they taste like lime
She moves in perfect time
And I can see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing, nothing, no
There's no promises
Today is all there is
And I can't see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing, oh nothing, nothing
Many Rivers To Cross
( Jimmy Cliff Cover / Heart & Shoulder EP )
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find
My way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked
Washed up for years
And I merely survive
Because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There'll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah
Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross
