Rescue
If I said I'd lost my way
Would you sympathize?
Could you sympathize?
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
But you know I didn't have it anyway
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Rescue
Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song?
I don't know what I want anymore
First I want a kiss and then I want it all
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Rescue
Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song?
Losing sense of those harder things
Is this the blues I'm singing?....

The Puppet
I practice my fall
For practice makes perfect
Chained to the wall
For maximum hold
The window too far
Too far from my legs
Oh, open the door
And let out the cold
You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet
Trampoline’s broken
Ceiling has come down
The ache in my back
Tells me something’s gone wrong
Rocking horse rocks
As the wallpaper peels
Curtain would like to know
What he has done
You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet
We’re the salt of the earth
And we know what to say
We’re the salt of the earth
We know our place
You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet

Do It Clean
I've got a handful of this
What do I do with it?
I've got a barrel of this
What do I do with it?
I do it clean
I do it clean
Hey, do it clean
Do it clean, know what I mean
Do it clean
Do it clean, I know what I mean
I mean...
Where am I going?
Where have I been?
Where are you going?
Where have you been?
I've been here
I've been there
I've been here, there, everywhere
Here, there, nowhere
Itzy bitzy witzy witzy everywhere
I've been here and I've been there
I've been...
I had a handful of this
What did I do with it?
I had a barrel of this
What did I do with it?
I did it clean
I did it clean
Hey do it clean
Do it clean, know what I mean
Do it clean
Do it clean, I know what I mean

A Promise
You said something will change
We were all dressed up
Somewhere to go
No sign of rain
But something will change
You promised
You said nothing will change
We were almost near
Almost far
Down came the rain
But nothing will change
You promised
A promise...
It's exactly the same
You said it's always the same
But I'll make it change
Into something the same
I promise
A promise...
Light
On the waves...
A promise...
There's light on the water
We could sail on forever...

The Back of Love
I'm on the chopping block
Chopping off my stopping thoughts
Self-doubt and selfism
Were the cheapest things I ever bought
When you say it's love
D'ya mean the back of love?
When you say it's love
D'ya mean the back of love?
We're taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love
We're taken advantage of
Breaking the back of love
Easier said than done you said
But it's more difficult to say
With eyes bigger than our bellies
We want to but we can't look away
What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?
What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?
Taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love
When you're surrounded by a simple chain of events
Eventually you'll shack those shackles off
We can't tell our left from right
But we know we love extremes
Getting to grips with the ups and downs
Because there's nothing in between
When you say it's love
D'ya mean the back of love?
When you say that's love
D'ya mean the back of love?
Taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love
What were you thinking of
When you dreamt that up?
We're taking advantage of
Breaking the back of love
Breaking the back
Of love

The Cutter
Who's on the seventh floor
Brewing alternatives?
What's in the bottom drawer
Waiting for things to give?
Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the mustard
Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another
Drop in the ocean
Come to the free-for-all
With sellotape and knives
Some of us six feet tall
We will escape our lives
Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the mustard
Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another
Drop in the ocean
Am I the happy loss?
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost?
Am I the happy cross?
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off?
Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another
Drop in the ocean
Ocean...
Watch the fingers close
When the hands are cold
Am I the happy loss?
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost?
Am I the worthy cross?
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off?

Never Stop
Good God, you said, is that the only thing you care about
Splitting up the money and share it out
The cake’s being eaten straight through the mouth
Poison poised to come back in season
For all the ones who lack reason
Measure by measure, drop by drop
And pound for pound, we’re taking stock
Of all the treasures still unlocked
The love you found must never stop
The king is dead and long live the people who aim above
All the simple stuff never understood
Like right from bad and wrong from good
Deny that you were ever tempted by the lie
That there’s an answer in the sky
Measure by measure, drop by drop
And pound for pound, we’re taking stock
Of all the treasures still unlocked
The love you found must never stop...
Never stop..

The Killing Moon
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until you give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon will come too soon
Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until you give yourself to him...

Silver
Swung from a chandelier
My planet sweet on a silver salver
Bailed out my worst fears
‘Cos man has to be his own saviour
Blind sailors
Imprisoned jailers
God tamers
No one to blame us
The sky is blue
My hands untied
A world that’s true
Through our clean eyes
Just look at you
With burning lips
You’re living proof
At my fingertips
Walked on a tidal wave
Laughed in the face of a brand new day
Food for survival thought
Mapped out the place where I planned to stay
All the way
Well-behaved
Just in case it slips away
The sky is blue
My hands untied
A world that’s true
Through our clean eyes
Just look at you
With burning lips
You’re living proof
At my fingertips

Seven Seas
Stab a sorry heart with your favourite finger
Paint the whole world blue
And stop your tears from stinging
Hear the cavemen singing
Good news they're bringing
Seven seas, swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
A longing for some fresher feeling
Belonging or just forever kneeling
Where's the sense in stealing
Without the grace to be it?
Seven seas, swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors
Turning to see if you're cowardly
Burning the witches with mother religious
You'll strike the matches and shower me in
Water games
Washing the rocks below
Taught and tamed
In time with tear flow
Seven seas, swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell...

Bring on the Dancing Horses
Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home
Bring on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
'Til it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Billy stands
All alone
Sinking sand
Skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
'Til it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Brittle heart...
And my little heart goes...
Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie clown
No way home
Bring on the headless horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
'Til it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while you're breaking
My brittle heart
Brittle heart...
And our little hearts go...
Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam
Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam
First I'm gonna break him
Then I'm gonna make him
Find his own way home
