We, Us The Pharaohs
02:37
|

A vine grows in the jungle like a line flows on a page
A simplified correction caught and caged
A flower whispers on your breath, it likes your cosmic style
A satellite embraced lives just a while
We, us the pharaohs, live for our own ideals
Stained glass and tarot cards could tell us how you feel
Down by over up round here, through stiffs and sailors I’ll be home in a year
A tree grows t’wards the sunlight as my heart grows to the east
Forgotten loves and emails beg belief
Five million silhouettes on call yet resting in a bay
They wish for thirteen lovers each fine day
We, us the pharaohs, live for our own ideals
Stained glass and tarot cards could tell us how you feel
Down by over up round here, through stiffs and sailors I’ll be home in a year
A place to call your own - through a window
Down by over up round here, through stiffs and sailors I’ll be home in a year

North Pole

You know I've come to die, a normal life's just not for me
And I've been dreaming that I'd get so far away from politics and love
So here I am alone, my only friend is big and white, she'll eat me if I turn my back a moment or if I tell a lie
Drifting on the ice is lonely that I know
The food and pissing knives are comforts that I'll come to loath
Drifting on the ice is lonely that I know
The food and pissing knives are comforts that I'll come to loath
You know I've come to die, a normal life's just not for me
And I've been dreaming that I'd get so far away from politics and love

Free Again
02:53
|
|||
A look in your eyes or a whiff of your breath
Could burn me alive, but I’d be in your debt
So it’s no surprise you hog all my thoughts
My arms feel like thighs, I’m feeling out of sorts
I had a dream of a world where you ceased to exist
And I was free again
Free again
A lock of your hair or a chip off your tooth
Could ease this despair that’s eating up my youth
Our stars might align and I’ll be your beau
Just give me a sign, I’ll either come or go
I had a dream of a world where you ceased to exist
And I was free again
Free again

Lights & Seasons
03:23
|
|||
I walked into town, my head in the ground
Tailored by sorrow, again, like I always have been
They never doubted, it's all one big puzzle
And I tend to guzzle, ’cause time’s as it always has been
Just like an ocean, these depths are unexplored
Just like an ocean, I’m knocking at your door
I walked into town, my feet on the ground
One ‘fore the other, aligned like a perfect cosmos
Are you coming home where the lights and the seasons are gay?
Maybe you could write soon, quite a lot can take place in a day
Just like an ocean, these depths are unexplored
Just like an ocean, I’m knocking at your door

Love
03:32
|

Love, just a tale of mystery, take what you can get from the tragedy found in the back by the bins
Love, a statement of morality sinks its claws into your reality bites likes a denture into tin
How, how can we fight it, in a world that makes mother cry, so if you've the inkling too, come with me, we'll change all our clothes
Love, it's not just for anyone, check your watch and count til the cows come
Home then you will see waterfalls of love cascading on angels and the spray will cool down your egos
Love, it's quite a mystery but in all it's welcomed by some, or a few

Good Start
02:49
|

Be it love, be it magic or the things you hide in shoes
There's a place to get away
In a hut, on a beach or in a cave with rotting ruins
There's a place for Lady Day
Stay away, I don't want to be alone today
Give a baby a good start
You know that I'm in love with you
In a night you can count your late disciples on the wall
They're laughing after all
Is it right to attack the ones you love for nothing more
Than a danish or a pie
Stay away, I don't want to be alone today
Give a baby a good start
You know that I'm in love with you
And outside it was raining, you came up and said
Give a baby a good start
You know that I'm in love with you - baby - baby

Oysters
02:29
|

An oyster never wonders where their eyes are
They just sit on the bed, not thinking if they were dead
Would there be a place in summer where the skies are
Simply grey all the time and there’s plenty of wine
Rolling down off the hill into what could be mine
Don’t cry come cuddle me, my heart's a well
If love's your enemy, go love yourself
Ask a question to your favourite synthesizer,
Ask what's going around and if there’s someone in town
That might have an ear and be a sympathizer
They could read off your palm and relieve all your qualms
And then open their arms to reveal you their heart
Don’t cry come cuddle me, my heart's a well
If love's your enemy, go love yourself

Hips
03:02
|

Here's the menu, choose what you like,
This policy's brand new, it's defying the times,
Now place your feet upon the table,
Shake those hips and see what falls out - on the floor
Into the world gripping your hand is mother nature's child,
Their starting up a band telling tales of bug-lit statues,
Mirrors of a delicate past where the animals are open and the trees tell sappy tales
But it's raining outside, is it calling?
Calling you here, my dear?
Fallen by night, raised for the light,
Protected by angels that sport all things bright,
Now place your feet upon the table
Shake those hips and see what falls out,
Smack those lips like we did before

Happening Again
03:00
|
|||
Cometh o ye merry ones and lay your faces square
Here’s a picture of yourself, so please be nice out there
I can see it’s happening again, it’s mild and dancing happily
Golden halves of everything that binds those matters filled with misery
Dangers hide in every hole that you may come to meet
Strangers cry until they’re old, and walk off on their feet
I can see it’s happening again, it’s mild and dancing happily
Golden halves of everything that binds us all with misery
And hopelessness
And tragedy
I can see it’s happening again, it’s mild and dancing happily
Golden halves of everything that binds us all in ugliness
That's the price you pay, for it's endlessness

When it rains, do you remember
Those few days spent only then?
Could there still be but an ember
Of that fire made 'neath Big Ben
We were young and oh so tender
Didn't know how truly free
Our dreams would put an end to
The sweet truth of you and me
Within the passages of time
The echoes of the past they chime
Two hearts like ours will always rhyme
As the candle burns so brightly
Oh recall the scene completely
Stood there wrapped up in your coat
You whispered up so sweetly
Where you'd find my parting note
All through the passages of time
The echoes of the past they chime
Two hearts like ours will always rhyme
As a candle burns so brightly
Memories they come, linger on and sing your song
Would there still be but an ember of that fire made 'neath big ben?

Tonight
04:01
|
|||
Ready for a night of love, sitting with a daiquiri in hand
And the beat, pounding through my buttoned shirt - to the sound
That I’ve longed for through the week
Ready now to hit the floor, music pulsing through my every vein
And the chills running up and down my spine - fill my mind
And I’ve got to let know
That tonight, I’m ready for another night of love
And I’ve pulled out all the best moves that I know
Ready now to walk the streets, surely there's someone out there to talk with me, maybe they might tow a change or walk a line, if they've time
But tonight I’m ready for another night of love
And I’ve pulled out all the best moves that I know
There’s a feeling that I love, that I know, and it grows
Are you ready for a night, a night of love
On the floor, at the bar, by the sea, house next door,
In a car, up a tree, you and me
