The Hunter & The Sun
07:28
|

Hunter, appraise my life.
I'm woebegone, and I'll find love.
Sore, swallowed, safe and sound.
The Hunter and the Sun.
Hunter, oh, hunt me down.
His eyes agog,
And I'll find love.
Surely, the world has one.
The rising of the sun.
The hunter and the sun.
Hunter works as one,
Heathen as the sun.
Hunter works alone.
Heathen as a home.
Oh, heaven's heart we shun.
The Hunter and The Sun.

Triffids & Trees

All around, listen...the fog...
You cannot hear my call...
Rushes and reeds,
Triffids and trees,
You see...
Here is my verse,
Hear come the birds.
Rushes and reeds,
Triffids and trees,
You see...
I'm running to the wind, pushing me back.
I'm running to the wind, coloured in black.
Listen...the fog...
Listen...the fog...
A long time waiting in rhyme,
Who is my kind?
Rushes and reeds,
Triffids and trees,
You see.
I'm running to the wind, pushing me back.
I'm running to the wind, coloured in black.
Coloured in black.

Over & Done With
03:38
|

|
Do you like it in my pocket?
It's not like you're in trouble, come on.
You're in a perfect bubble.
Come on, come on, it's over and done with.
All over and done with.
Voodoo lady makes my day dream long.
She whispers "Don't be nervy, come on,
And we can surely prove it."
Come on, come on, it's over and done with.
All over and done with now.
You're bric-a-brac.
You're in my lap.
Your brick house won't see now.
So do you love me?
Do I wish it so?
There's nothing wrong with trying, come on.
Is hoping just asking why?
Come on, come on, it's over and done with.
All over and done with now.

Louisiana Swamp Stomp
05:27
|
|||
|
I'm chasing, running around.
I've got the ever-fading sun on my back.
And I ain't gonna cop no flack.
We're going where the wild things are,
My incisors bared for a fight.
Let's dance under the moon tonight.
You should have seen it coming, now.
Through all your years of trying.
It's you that they're excluding now.
So what's the use of crying.
If you can't stop a-stompin' why would you try?
We're all going down anyway. Dance till you die.
Dance like you're going to die. We're all going to die.
You know you ain't going to die,
Doing the Louisiana Swamp Stomp.
It's night time, I feel so alive,
And no one's ever going to steel my sun.
And your eyes tell me you're the one.
Your paper is made for my crown,
So dance closer, I ain't going to bite.
Let's burn under the moon tonight.
You should have seen it coming now.
Through all the years of trying.
It's you they're excluding now.
So what's the use of crying.
If you can't stop a-stompin' why would you try?
We're all going down anyway. Dance till you die.
Dance like you're gonna die. We're all gonna die.
No! You know you ain't gonna die,
Doing the Louisiana Swamp Stomp.

Wild
04:23
|
|||
|
Wild is having a hard time settling down.
Wild is leaving at night time, roaming around and around.
Am I too loud for Wild?
Is he too proud for me?
Wild is tearing my heart out getting around.
Wild goes out with so many other girls in town.
I would go out for Wild.
But would he stay in for me?
I see you out and about.
You make me so mad I could shout,
"You do me wrong!"
You're wild.
I am having a hard time saying no to Wild.
Wild finds it easy saying no to me.
What if I beg for Wild?
I want Wild to beg for me.
I see you out and about.
You make me so mad I could shout.
"You do me wrong!"
You're wild.

What You Are
04:27
|

|
I just want to see what you are.
I just want to see what you are.
I just want to see what you are.
Caught up inside the mask.
Your last time coming to the fore.
I just want to see what you are.
I just want to see what you are.
I just want to see what you are.
Caught up behind the past.
Your last chance coming to the fore.
For my love.
For my love.
For my love.
Sensing there's nothing underneath that black of a smile.
For awhile I think this is true.
But you are,
You are what you are.
Oh, you are,
You are what you...
I just want to see what you are.
I just want to see what you are.
I just want to see what you are.

Stone
06:58
|
|||
|
Savour and say it, oh,
Savour and say I'm the one,
The one who comes around.
Everything's fine. Lovely to see you again,
My "friend".
And as we sit and we don't talk,
I wonder who you really are.
I'm suppressing your expression,
Glacier is your one impression,
Water from my face is falling,
Yours is dry as stone, as are you.
Are you stone?
Savour and say it, oh,
Savour and say I'm the one,
The one who forgives you.
Everything's fine. Over and done with, again.
My "friend".
And as you cry, I can't help thinking it's a lie.
I'm suppressing your expression,
Glacier is your one impression,
Water from my face is falling,
Yours is dry and bloody as stone, as are you.
Are you stone?
Savour and say it, oh,
Savour and say I'm alone.
And you are stone.

Bittersweet & Wretched
04:52
|
|||
|
Watching with the clouds,
I'm sailing with these hands,
I'm wailing, lost among the merman,
Curtains falling on the stage,
I'm soaring through the air,
And through my head there's nothing there
Or so they think,
But they don't think of me.
Down, down, down.
I'm falling,
Down, down, down,
Into the dark I go.
But I still love you.
Bitter, sweet and wretched,
Bitter, sweet and wretched.
I know it's a show,
And I know it's all for show,
And I know that you know I know,
It hurts me so.
I slip down to the end of my rope,
Seldom climbing,
Grip it burns between my thighs,
I dare you come,
I dare you come with me.
Bitter, sweet and wretched
Bitter, sweet and wretched.
Down, down, down
I'm falling,
Down, down, down
Into the dark I go.
But I still love you.

Don't Look Now
07:58
|

|
"Don't look now," she said, "It's all because of you."
But that's not the whole truth.
She lies awake at two.
She cries a single few.
She lies awake at two.
Will someone find her?
Will someone hide her?
Will anyone see who she really is?
Don't look now, for the rain is on the right,
And I feel I'm still under the thumb.
Alone and under the worries that circle around.
She lies awake at two.
She cries a single few.
She lies awake at two.
Will someone find her?
Will someone hide her?
Will anyone see who she really is?
