Save Me

Steady as she goes
Time keeps moving slow
She’s got her own plans,
Keeps her cards to her chest
and it keeps me guessing
What if I fall too deep?
What if I lose my memory?
Only wake in my sleep?
Won’t you save me?
Save me.
How easily it fades
Ten months, I lost your face
We took a wrong turn some day,
Lost in the fray
In the palms of the fates
What if I fall too deep?
What if I lose my memory?
Only wake in my sleep?
Won’t you save me?
Save me
I remember dancing in the spring time
and the touch of naked knees on
high, high grass.
Then before the sun I took my deep breath
and I held it there
For a long, long time
What if I fall too deep?
What if I lose my memory?
Only wake in my sleep?
Won’t you save me?
Save me

Strange World

I took the train to that place again,
heard the wind cry ‘Baby! Hey,
It’s been a long, long time.’
Stood by the bay, then a passing wave
pulled me under gently - and away
It’s a strange, strange world
A strange, strange world
Don’t you think?
A strange world
Don’t you think?
A strange world
Don’t you think?
But I won’t let it get me down
No, I won’t -
No I won’t let it get me down.
Cracks in the paint, the tell-tales of age
Do you remember how it used to be?
Well I do.
Out on the ice, staring at the sky
I thought I’d never worry ‘bout a thing.
It’s a strange, strange world
What a strange, strange world
Don’t you think?
A strange world
Don’t you think?
A strange world
Don’t you think?
But I won’t let it get me down
No, I won’t -
No I won’t let it get me down.
I woke up today to the sound of rain
I guess the storm’s been brewin’ for a while
Now the pressure breaks
Sure, over time I might get it right,
But just for now I’m doin’ okay.
Still, it’s a strange, strange world
a strange, strange world

Health

My heart is lost in divide
White lies turn black overnight
And the fat cat waits on the other side
Seashells don’t sing anymore
Washed up, clinging to the shore
And I’m halfway home when I realize
My god, why’d you talk to yourself like that?
Like that
How come you’ve been treatin’ your health so bad?
So bad
Skin deep, still runs through your blood
Cruel treats, the wrong kind of love
And the dogs get rich off your penitence
My, my - my life’s on the run
Keep time, believe in the gun
‘til I see my face like evidence
My god, why’d you talk to yourself like that?
Like that
How come you’ve been treatin’ your health so bad?
So bad

Blowin' In The Wind
03:07

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

I'm Not Leaving

Slipped away once in early September
Put a name to the voice in her head
Well, she’s a pretty one -
but she sure got a temper
Drank it down with the last of the new year
Felt the sting, still she took it to bed
and prayed to god there’d be something to prove here - when the news clears
Did no one teach you
That nobody’s see through?
Say: “I’m not leavin’
I’m not leavin’ -
Are you?”
She’s just a kid, tryin’ to build up resistance
Pours it out every swell of the moon
Call it a top-down kind of persistence -
If there’s a difference
They say the phone’s ringin’ off the hook lately
Which - honestly - hits closer to home
I guess we’ve all gone a little bit crazy
Yeah, maybe
Did no one teach you
That nobody’s see through?
Say: “I’m not leavin’
I’m not leavin’ -
Are you?”
Did no one teach you
That nobody’s see through?
I guess I’ll need to.
But Lorelai, will you
say: “I’m not leavin’?”
I’m not leavin’

Take It As It Comes

Let your lover build you up
Lift your spirit to the sky
Love another in just that way
For in the heat the answer lies
I bid the cold goodbye, remind me -
Just for once
If time alone decides
Then I can take it as it comes
I’m a teacher
To my own inner creature
I’m a child
I’m a runner, but I’ll -
I’ll return
Once I’ve taken another mile
I bid the cold goodbye, remind me -
Just for once
If time alone decides
Then I can take it as it comes
I can take it as it comes
I can take it as it comes.
7. EMPATHY
I see shapes in the doorway
Do you understand?
A deep bass - subwave
Rumblin’
It’s a long way to the other side
What a strong rope we have to climb
These days I’m findin’ it hard to take
I hope we’ll do better in time
Lately I’m losing my empathy
Does the world seem bigger now
Than you realized?
Right there, on the horizon
Solid as a rock
Lays wait in the silence
While the whole flock ‘
Finds an odd way to compromise
What a long time to wonder why
These days I’m findin’ it hard to take
I hope we’ll do better in time
Lately I’m losing my empathy
Does the world seem bigger now
Than you realized?
I hear what you’re saying
And what you’ve been facing
I wish that we could talk this through
Nobody else here
Can fake havin’ no fears
It‘s a big old trick that shakes us loose

Paris At Midnight
03:33

Young love, took to the skies
Long days, longer nights
Stay in heaven for two
‘til the streets come alive
By the light of the moon
Young ones, fresh from the sheet
Night air beckoning
Spread our silhouette out
over cobble and brick in an unknown town
Oh, a memory
In Paris at Midnight
When the timing was just right
Oh, such electricity
Making shapes in the darkness
So elusive an artist
Young hearts searching for trace
Of old charm, golden grey
Land of poet and brush
But the legacy hides ’til your eyes adjust
Oh, a memory
In Paris at Midnight
When the timing was just right
Oh, such electricity
Making shapes in the darkness
So elusive an artist
Just to be back again -
Just to be back again -
Just to be back again -
Again.

Nothing Really Matters
03:47

I heard you’re kind of breakin’ down
since all the highs went low
Time trips you out some days,
Wisin’ up don’t cut it anymore
Those rose-hued glasses you been
countin’ on, well they
Lost their touch
And now you spot the grey
in every little bud still comin’ up
Throw yourself a line,
‘cos your heart’s not been in it for a long time
Does it feel like -
Now more than ever -
You bottled up the tough stuff
drowning out your offset mind
And you’re left wond’rin’ how these
long haul days keep slipping by
And so you sit and wait,
The TV plays you out full blast
While your inner politician beats you up
for each step off the path.
Throw yourself a line,
‘cos your hearts not been in it for a long time
Does it feel like -
Now more than ever -
Nothing really matters
Nothing but the things you do
It should make you feel better
That nobody cares here, but you
Throw yourself a line,
‘cos your hearts not been in it for a long time
Does it feel like -
Now more than ever -
Nothing really matters
Nothing but the things you do
It should make you feel better
That nobody cares here, but you.
Nothing really matters
Nothing but the things you do
It should make you feel better
That nobody cares here, but you.

Shapeshifter

I said lay down your weapons,
at sixes and sevens we draw the line.
If it’s war that you came for
there’s many a place
for your camera crimes.
Say it out loud, say it out loud
No doubts, say it out loud
In cool conversation,
the silence can break down the tallest wall
You said: Whatever happened to us?
How we used to enjoy it all.
Say it out loud, say it out loud
No doubts, say it out loud
All -
All that I know
is everyone’s movin’ down
the same almighty road
Keep -
Keep it away from me
‘cos I’m gonna change my shape
until it’s mine to keep
Old thought
And new pine
Come follow me inside this new life
Well it’s a choice that you make
when you let your mistakes
get inside your skin
Save them up like they’re pennies
and carry them round ‘til you’re paper-thin
It’s weighin’ you down
Weighin’ you down
Pound by pound
Weighin’ you down.
I think that may be all -
All that I know
is everyone’s movin’ down
the same almighty road
Keep -
Keep it away from me
‘cos I’m gonna change my shape
until it’s mine to keep
All we know, all we know
All we know, all we know
All we know, all we know
All we know, all we know
