- How Can You Live In The Northeast?3:42
- Everything About It Is A Love Song3:57
Letra
Locked in a struggle for the right combination - Of words in a melody line, I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination. Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine. But if I ever get back to the twentieth century, Guess I'll have to pay off some debts. Open the book of my vanishing memory, With its catalogue of regrets. Stand up for the deeds I did, and those I didn't do. Sit down, shut up, think about God, And wait for the hour of my rescue. We don't mean to mess things up, But mess them up we do. And then it's "Oh, I'm sorry." Here's a smiling photograph Of love when it was new. At a birthday party. Make a wish and close your eyes: Surprise, surprise, surprise. Early December, and brown as a sparrow, Frost creeping over the pond. I shoot a thought into the future, And it flies like an arrow, through my liftime. And beyond. If I ever come back as a tree, or a crow, Or even the wind-blown dust; Find me on the ancient road In the song when the wires are hushed. Hurry on and remember me, As I'll remember you. Far above the golden clouds, The darkness vibrates. The earth is blue. And everything about it is a love song. Everything about it. Everything about it is a love song. Everything about it. Everything about it is a love song. - Outrageous3:24
Letra
It's outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor Outrageous the crime some human beings must endure It's a blessing to wash your face in the summer solstice rain It's outrageous that a man like me stand here and complain But I'm tired, 900 sit-ups a day I'm painting my hair the colour of mud, mud, OK? I'm tired, tired, anybody care what I say? NO Painting my hair the colour of mud Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Ah, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? It's outrageous the food they try to serve in the public school Outrageous the way they talk to you like some kind of clinical fool It's a blessing to rest my head in the circle of your love It's outrageous, I can't stop thinking about the things I'm thinking of But I'm tired, 900 sit-ups a day I'm painting my hair the colour of mud, mud, OK? I'm tired, tired, anybody care what I say? NO Painting my hair the colour of mud Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Ah, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? Tell me, who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? God will, like he waters the flowers on the window sill Take me, I'm an ordinary player in the key of C And my will was broken by my pride and my vanity Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? God will, like he waters the flowers on the window sill Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone? - Sure Don't Feel Like Love3:57
- Wartime Prayers4:49
Letra
Prayers offered in times of peace are silent conversations, Appeals for love or loves release, in private invocations. But all that is changed now, Gone like a memory from the day before the fires. People hungry for the voice of God Hear lunatics and liars Wartime prayers, wartime prayers In every language spoken, For every family scattered and broken. Because you cannot walk with the holy, If you're just a halfway decent man. But I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind With a genious marketing plan. I'm trying to tap into some wisdom, Even a little drop would do. I want to rid my heart of envy And cleanse my soul of rage Before I feel. Times are hard, hard times, But everybody knows all about hard times. The thing is, what are you gonna do? Will you cry? And try to muscle through? And try to rearrange your stuff? But when the wounds are deep enough, And it's all that we can bear, We wrap ourselves in prayer. Because you cannot walk with the holy, If you're just a halfway decent man. But I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind With a genious marketing plan. I'm trying to tap into some wisdom, Even a little drop would do. I want to rid my heart of envy And cleanse my soul of rage Before I'm through. A mother murmurs in twilight sleep And draws her babies closer. With hush-a-bies for sleepy eyes, And kisses on the shoulder. To drive away despair She sends a wartime prayer. - Beautiful3:07
Letra
Snowman sittin' in the sun Doesn't have time to waste. He had a little bit too much fun, Now his head's erased. Back in the house, Family of three: Two doin' the laundry And one in the nursery. We brought brand new baby Back from Bangladesh, Thought we'd name her Emily. She's beautiful, beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful. Yes sir, head's erased, Brain's a bowl of jelly. Hasn't hurt his sense of taste, Judging from his belly. But back in the house, Family of four now: Two doing the laundry, And two on the kitchen floor. We brought a brand new baby back From mainland China, Sailed across the China Sea. She's beautiful, beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful. Go-kart sittin' in the shade: You don't need a ticket to ride, It's summertime, summertime, Slip down a water slide. Little kid dancin' in the grass, Legs like rubber band. It's summertime, summertime. There's a line at the candy stand. Keep and eye on them children, Eye on them children in the pool. You'd better, Keep and eye on them children, Eye on them children in the pool. We brought a brand new baby Back from Kosovo. That was nearly seven years ago. He cried all night. Could not sleep. His eyes were bright, Dark and deep. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. - I Don't Believe4:09
- Another Galaxy5:22
Letra
On the morning of her wedding day When no one was awake She drove across the border Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake Her mother's tears, her breakfast order She's gone, gone, gone There is a moment, a chip in time When leaving home is the lesser crime When your eyes are blind with tears But your heart can see Another life, another galaxy That night her dreams are storm-tossed as a willow She hears the clouds She sees the eye of a hurricane As it sweeps across her island pillow But she's gone, gone, gone There is a moment, a chip in time When leaving home is the lesser crime When your eyes are blind with tears But your heart can see Another life, another galaxy - Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean3:55
Letra
Once upon a time there was an ocean But now it's a mountain range Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed It's a dead end job, and you gets tired of sittin' And it's like a nicotine habit you're always thinking about quittin' I think about quittin' every day of the week When I look out my window it's brown and it's bleak Outta here How am I gonna get outta here? I'm thinking outta here When am I gonna get outta here? And when will I cash in my lottery ticket And bury my past with my burdens and strife? I want to shake every limb in the garden of Eden And make every love the love of my life I figure that once upon a time I was an ocean But now I'm a mountain range Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed Found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge But I'm easy, I'm open, that's my gift I can flow with the traffic, I can drift with the drift Home again? Naw, never going home again Think about home again? I never think about home But then comes a letter from home The handwriting's fragile and strange Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed The light through the stained glass was cobalt and red And the frayed cuffs and collars were mended by haloes of golden thread The choir sang, "Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean" And all the old hymns and family names came fluttering down as leaves of emotion As nothing is different, but everything's changed - That's Me4:42
- Father And Daughter4:11
Letra
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are Just open your window and follow your memory upstream To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever And never leave 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head [Chorus:] I'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So you'll always know As long as one and one is two There could never be a father Who loved his daughter more than I love you Trust your intuition It's just like goin' fishin' You cast your line and hope you get a bite But you don't need to waste your time Worryin' about the market place Try to help the human race Struggling to survive its harshest night [Chorus 2x]
