![]() Some Finer Day |
1. Phased After laughing at the stars the time arrives to coincide with all the chaos and the sparks of when two worlds collide And it's been hours now ; feels like days. We've been hours now, in these waves. We've been phased We've been alchemized...Melted, liquified and dried and left to crystallize. And it's been hours now ; feels like days. We've been hours now in these waves We've been phased... | ![]() |
2. Yesterday Goodbye It's unclear why we have to wait. One more day in here, and it could be too late. And all this time has passed us by, kissing yesterday 'goodbye'. Yesterday flies by. Senses multiply. We have seventeen where we had only five. And all this time has passed us by... kissing yesterday 'goodbye'. |
3. Mine It doesn't hurt me when you pull my strings... My purse, my heart, guitar and everything. These demands are slowly turning me into something of a tragedy / charity. My house is your house, my life is mine. My car is your car but my mind is mine, all mine. This is where I draw the line it's all mine. What you want, well you just can't have. What you want is your life's worth. it drifts around in the universe and rockets backwards to the Earth. |
4. Freeze My hallucination, every drug that I need. I love you for your beauty. I love you for the books you read. I watch you laze in the sun, I watch your head come undone ; you smile ; the man and child with bee-stung lips where my tongue trips and curls and you kiss like a girl. It frees me... frees me from the freeze. And with the liberation everything's taken higher ; And every complication, another spark for the fire. You're nothing more than eighteen but you are more than you seem to be. You'll win me with pale white hands and soft demands and ways to set the days ablaze. it frees me from the freeze... You're like a favourite saint kept alive in prayer and paint. One looked a lot like you... saucer-eyed and stoned and out of the blue. |
5. Things He Told Her He came with his mystic tricks... Exchanged for a crucifix. Those things he said would come true , she don't know if she'd like them to. And now it's ten years on with several layers of youth and beauty gone And now she's ten years older, hanging on to the things he told her. If she's good, will it still occur? Those things that he said would be. She can't wait for Eternity. And now it's ten years on with every shred of faith it's dead and gone And now she's ten years older, hanging on to the things he told her... Dont blame the illusionist for those mouths that you should've kissed |
6. Infrared The sacred and the scared align and call on me to break the ballerina's spine. My heart has fallen where he lands, when he lands. The sound of every word you said hit like a wave of infra red... I'd really like to stay but I've got to go home, alone. Summer came and summer went while we contrived to re-invent the scene serene. The sound of every word you said hit like a wave of infra red ; I'd really like to stay... Frosted glass the window stains your face and shattered ice becomes kaleidoscopes of colour, taste and sound and turns the ground into the liquid of the sea, the liquid friction of the see-saw swaying, drugged among the shards of splintered snow to where the ultraviolet rays stain the whiteness of your skin where wheels of white light shine and spin towards the essence of the end, then re-beginning in slow-motion... slow-motion... |
7. I Don't Know I know he called me yesterday to say all the things that he wants to say He walks he talks, he reads my thoughts and he's real when the sun distorts. He spend the weekend half asleep and dream where the sleep is deepest. We walk we talk, reveal our thoughts and we reel when the circuit shorts Is this all that we need ? I don't know. Is this all that we see ? I don't know. Nevermore is just a while and far away is a thousand miles. Years are light but dark the night and everybody's saying it'll be alright. |
8. Dream Butcher Did you know that plastic men use blood in their fountain pens...tell you how they're on your team and seem to mean it ? Please don't believe all you hear. Now that you're clothed and you've been fed, here comes the candle to light you to bed. How that you've gained your higher ground, here come the butcher to cut you.. Down an out and in a state of "easy to manipulate" : Take the cash and learn to crawl... Small-print smiler smiles while his knives never show. Big wheels see you're on your own in green fields. Fat the calf the butcher laughs a loud mouth watering, slaughtering your dreams. Work it out... can you afford to sell your Self for small reward and only have yourself to blame ? - Shame on someone. |
9. Some Finer Day Ride on the storm I made. I glide on the ashes of the sky. My blue raincoat makes me say 'No' today. Hey, when does weather ever change Some finer day, say things go my way ; some finer day, I'll play your sunshiny girl (irony!) Ride the mercury with me see how unpredictable it feels. Red this shelter, where we fell to the ground Found out the weather never changed Some finer day...I'll play your sunshiny girl... And brighten up my world with sunflowers and book I have burned and see what you want me to see and I'll be what you want me to be... | ![]() ![]() |
10. Blindfolded Visionary Cut my hair with a kitchen knife, he was a blindfolded visionary. Everything and nothing was going on in his precious head, overfed on ; Chemicals and conversation A speeding train without a station Crashed at my event-horizon Feeling for the switch to turn his eyes on. And in the news, they have to say he is a blinfolded visionary. I scrape the clouds of rouge from his face and he's white as noise. |
11. Outshine The Sun Is it fair to say the world's gone bad ? Is it fair to say that we've been had ? I'm thinking it over, think it over again. This is the time to set the world alight. This is the time to set the world to right. We're taking advantage of a rumour we started. I'm losing the feeling. My life is losing its meaning. He shines so hard. There's nowhere to run. He blinds, his mind outshines the sun. Imagine what he could become He's only begun to outshine the sun. When the gods are shaken from the sky, there's a scientific reason why. There's no wish to replace them and no-one's rushing in to win the race to fill the empty space |
