All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here All good people read good books Now your conscience is clear I hear you talk girl Now your conscience is clear In the morning when I wipe my brow Wipe the miles away I like to think I can be so willed And never do what you say I'll never hear you And never do what you say Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety We've just poked a little empty pie For the fun that people had at night Late at night don't need hostility The timid smile and pause to free I don't care about their different thoughts Different thoughts are good for me Up in arms and chaste and whole All God's children took their toll Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah Time to risk a life, a life, a life Sweet and handsome Soft and porky You pig out 'til you've seen the light Pig out 'til you've seen the light Half the people read the papers Read them good and well Pretty people, nervous people People have got to sell News you have to sell Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety |

I saw you from the cathedral
You were watching me Yes I saw from the cathedral What I should be So take my time And take my lies 'Cos all the others, they want to take my life And I watch you with an intent, basic It's the same for you You hold your hand And it's all fine - laced and What would you make me do? So take my time And take my lies 'Cos all the others, they want to take my life Serious for the winter time To wrench my soul whole cotton, whole cotton ears But I know there must be I know there must be, yes, I know there must be a place to go And you saw me from the cathedral Well I'm an ancient heart Yes, you saw me from the cathedral Well here we are just falling apart You catch me I'm tired I want all that you are And I saw you from the cathedral You were leaving me Yes I saw from the cathedral You could not see to see So take my time And take my lies 'Cos all the others, they want to take my life |

Everyone has said that I might go
'Cos my red suitcase and my ray-bans Weren't quite so I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls I'll never come back again 'Cos you know I laugh when winter shows her hand Well, that picture framed the saddest thing you'll see But it bought me time and a place that love could be And since I'm going now please rearrange 'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed I don't believe you'll be open anymore Tell me if, you want to see A world outside your window A world outside your window isn't free And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while Tell us 'bout that great land in the south I see that man - now ain't he under offer? I tell you child you go wash out your mouth Tell me if, you want to see A world outside your window A world outside your window isn't free And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me What can you say I'm hiding in the belfry What can you say - I want to catch time How can you say you know anything about me Well I knew about you - but I won't care about you Everyone has come to see. Well somethings have to do Flowers out for this photographic haunt, but they all pass me by But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz And when I winced with ignorance I had to kiss this dust |

There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you You still feel safe inside And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you You still feel safe inside Oh, was this solo? Was this yesterday? Was this true for you? 'Cos while all the rest have taken time This didn't do a lot for you And the corners laced with memories Tell you how it used to be Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away And strong feelings never bother you You hold your head up while the rest of us try to Oh, call the stations Call the people We all want to know 'Cos while all the rest have taken time You don't wanna know Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside And though the rain may fall - your father's calling you You still feel safe inside And though your ma's too proud - your brother's ignoring you You still feel safe inside Oh, was this solo? Was this yesterday? Was this true for you? 'Cos of all the choices you have made This didn't do a lot for you |

As always I stop to speak
Some girls like to say their piece As always I turn to you Don't understand what you're doing And Light up this town Grow weary and back down It's such an amazing sight To be found - Little sister leaving town Says the poet "I won't grass" Some things are better left and not taken to task I guess I knew she was a Rose She knows what hurts and how to hold If your daddy he turned round Let the grass around him scream the sound I'm so sorry for these tales you're telling Sometimes you can't account Light up this town Grow weary and back down It's such an amazing sight To be found - Little sister leaving town And sometimes it's absurd A minor triumph when you hear the words "I'm just trying to stake my place No real fears upon this face" And my wishes Nobody says All the signs when I cross the days I'm just holding back for you Sometimes that helps too Light up this town Grow weary and back down It's such an amazing sight To be found - Little sister leaving town |

Oh, you can't say nothing to the pouring rain
And you can't say nothing till there's hope Again - (Say) - oh my baby - you must never change For we're only the ones we love And I've stood stolen by the pauper's heart Yes, I've stood stolen where the aching starts But the way you watched - it's a life apart For we're only the ones we love Only Only You're the only one who could say I could love this way I could love this way Oh, you can't get even with this kind of pain But to see you steady brings the calm, again (Say) - oh my baby - let them stay the same For we're only the ones we love And they've seen something which I'll never see But - I dreamed something when you fell for me (Yeah), I dreamed something which soars above For we're only the ones we love Only the ones we love Yes, love, and love, mmm, mmm This love, love Oh, I get tired - and I get old But to see you steady brings a flood of gold (Say, oh, my baby) - I've been taught and told We're only the ones we love Only the ones we love Love, love, mmm, mmm This love, mmmm, mmm |

You've a beautiful body and a wonderful mind
These are things I've been stumbling towards And I think you've been kind towards me There are wonderful moments The gifts I've received And the knowledge is hurting But I guess it comes back to the things that you no longer need I'm an evil young hustler To be so curious These are evil young thoughts here To be so jealous, so jealous When a beautiful thought can Can be just thrown away 'Cos i tell you - I'm used to looking and turning my back on them Some things you say Just to be sociable And somethings you feel 'Cos you're young and you're gullible And sometimes I'm watching Sometimes I'm too scared And sometimes I'm able, I'm useful I'm holding you Holding you You've a beautiful body And a wonderful mind These are things I've been stumbling towards And I think you've been kind towards me I'm a wonderful shadow Whose sweetness is brief For there's nothing like lovers Who cry in the night Wanting to need you and wanting to need you And hoping that you'll feel it too Yes, you |

What didn't know back then
Was that I might be crying It is such a simple sentiment To steal the show And what I didn't know back then Is that I might be losing you And still I wouldn't know And now I suck up to the pale moonlight Like it's gonna lead me home And I shiver in my tired clothes As if that could keep me warm And now I stare across the dirty river And I'm sure upon this bridge I'll see you Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you up there What I didn't know back then Is how great the sin How time goes so slowly When you're cheating on a friend And what I didn't know back then Is that I might be needing you Yeah I might be needing you The need it doesn't end And now I stare across the dirty river And I breathe the dirty air And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you 'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you there What I didn't know back then Was that I might be crying It's such a simple sentiment To steal the show |

Criss-cross laces
You have the centre You have the cinnamon In the centre You shouldn't be alone You should just pick up yourself And shine yourself And make yourself fit a bran new maybe in the side streets You been walking I have been walking too So, you know the faces You know how they'll flirt with you Well, I know my favourite language Well, it trickles down my mouth If this is me Being close to you Being somewhere like the last night we spend together That is something next to nothing That is something So, I got my truth of many colours I got my fears Another shade But when I'm riding my happy taxi I guess I got it made Who's that creeping? In the street there Who's that creeping? By your window She might know something She might show you some things You never really want to share forever Mean forever 'Cos it feels so slow We drove out like something special In our special rags Well, I know that something special happens! When we drive our sad to happy We go driving In our happy taxi in our happy taxi I am not the First street preacher Not the first to Want to lead you Not the first to Leave your money Not the first to Leave your home Not the first to Leave forever Glad to go When love has gone So where am I going? Where am I going tonight? So where am I staying? In my happy moonlight In my happy taxi In my happy taxi In my happy taxi In my happy taxi In my happy taxi In my happy taxi Would you drive on down Would you drive on down Would you drive on down In my happy taxi In my happy taxi |

And I
Go dancing for a little Have never felt so little Fear the stars in their eyes You feel them lie So close You never dare to breathe You never dare the stars In their eyes Their eyes Am I? Supposed to even say Suppose I even say I see they're lovers eyes Their love - tonight So loose It never seemed so much It never seemed so So why? So why? My love tonight And I - Will never need this much Will never see the moon so starry eyed My love tonight My love and I My love and I |

I'd never call this an unpleasant situation
I'd never teach you how to lie But sometimes I have been walking numb And I must catch myself before I cry Before I cry I never call anything ugly I never call anything strange and alone I never want to, take things lightly Like they have never been my own Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't - I havn't heard But I know them - and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city I always thought I would be star bright I always thought you'd feel it too But sometimes I have been making conversation And I must catch myself Before I'm down I'm down on you I never think they would be scaring me scared couples in the cold They look so fine in their eagerness I wonder to myself just how they know Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't - I havn't heard But I know them - and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city I swear I'm staking out the whole world I swear I'm staking out the whole world I'm staking out the whole world I could never entertain you I'd be far too scared to try But sometimes I have been talking dumb And I forget myself And I forget myself And don't ask, why? Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't - I havn't heard But I know them - and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city |
