6. Straight
To The Man
Saying this revelation call delia station
An initiation, all you'd better beware
Who'll cast the first stone?
Skin to the bone bring it all on home
Bring it all for Jerome
So new castle build a brand new castle
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Straight to the man
On an island of traders
You know they're trying to fade ya
No-one can train you
No-one evade you
No-one can fade you
Saying Don't be late
No the train won't wait
Saying Don't be late
No the boat can't wait
Saying Don't be late
No the train nor the boat
Or the train can't wait yeah
Do the do do the do do the do do

heading straight for the man
Oh you know they'll never evade you
So now I stand here
Love cuts down a revolver
Am stern damn in Sodom and Gomorrah
So I'm singing to King Stone
Our teaching it's on
They say it's a fable
Though I was made able
I slipped through the net
Wanna bet it's a ramble a sandstorm
One slip you know you'll never forget
Who could ever forget?
You know I never forget
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do straight to the man
Oh you know they're trying to fade you
Saw this revelation call delia station
I don't need no powder
One kinder easy blind ya
Yeah the ice of Grand Bretagne owes a debt
Say the ice of Grand Bretagne
All the eyes of Grand Bretagne
All the eyes of Grand Bretagne owes a debt
Yeah the eyes of Grand Bretagne
All eyes of Grand Bretagne owes us a debt
10. Tears
Our love girl is going through changes
I don't know if I'm alive dead dying
Or just a little jaded
Someone throw me a line
You know I need it I need it bad
Lost in a maze of my own making
No way out that I can find
Send home your hard working jury
I'm going down this time
You better believe it yes you had
So if you hear me crying
Or talking in my sleep
Don't be afraid
It's just the hours that I keep
We gotta love to last for a million years
A love that could never fade
Through the tracks of your tears
All I can do is hope that you will see me fall
Do your best to smash my picture on your wall
Forgive me baby
Absolve me my dear
I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears
I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears
Of your tears
All those tears
I cast a shorter shadow with every passing day
no time to think I'm just fading away
Some kind of magic in all your hopes and fears
Shows me the future through the tracks of your tears

9. Good
Times
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
I'll tell you my story man
I wish I'd never been born
I'm loose at the seams
I've broken my dreams
and my hand it shakes the pen
Come on, come on now, baby
Let the good times roll again, yeah
Where did our sweet love go?
Who stole away our time?
Why do the stars above refuse to shine?
The harder I try to paint a picture
Of the way it was back then
The more I miss the good times baby
Let it roll again
Good times baby this is the time
I need to know that your love is mine
You hook me up yeah
You reel me in
I'm hooked line and sinker
She's my heroin
How many days have I been lying on my back
Staring at the ceiling girl
Streching on your rack?
The harder I try to paint a picture
Of the way it was back then
the more I miss the good times baby
Let it roll again
Good times baby this is the time
I need to know that your love is mine
You hook me up yeah
You reel me in
I'm hooked line and sinker
She's my heroin
Said I'm hooked now I'm not fakin'
I'm here till the day I die
Can't get enough now
My heart is aching
I'm in to deep to stop
All I want is those good times baby
Show me a sign
I need to know that your love is mine
You hook me up yeah
You reel me in
I'm hooked line and sinker
She's my heroin
11. How
Do You Sleep
I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead
All dressed up for dinner looked so fine
You shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
With the finest military quick lime
Now try and picture this as I gave you a kiss
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
We laughed as we put away your wine
So raise your glasses here's a toast to wasted lives
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
and tell you how they died
How do you sleep? How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean anymore when the angel of death comes knock knocking
And banging at your door?
When all the fun was over
I put you on my shoulder
Took you home away from it all
Shot down and claimed
Mounted and framed
Tastefully hung upon my wall
Are my dreams your nightmares?
I hope they all come true
Get off your knees
The party's over
I'm coming home to you
How do you sleep? How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean anymore when the angel of death comes knock knocking
And banging at your door?
At your door? |
