- If I Ever Lose My faith In You4:29You could say i lost my faith in science and progress you could say i lost my belief in the holy church you could say i lost my sense of direction you could say all of this and worse, but if i ever lose my faith in you there'd be nothing left for me to do Some would say i was a lost man in a lost world you could say i lost my faith in the people on tv you could say i'd lost my belief in our politicians yhey all seemed like game show hosts to me if i ever lose my faith in you there'd be nothing left for me to do i could be lost inside their lies without a trace but every time i close my eyes i see your face I never saw no miracle of science that didn't go from a blessing to a curse i never saw no military solution that didn't always end up as something worse, but let me say this first if i ever lose my faith in you there'd be nothing left for me to do
- Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven)5:09
- Fields Of Gold3:40You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in the fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in the fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in the fields of gold We'll walk in the fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold
- Heavy Cloud No Rain3:46
Letra
Turned on the weather man just after the news I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues He looked at the chart but he looked in vain Heavy cloud but no rain Back in the time with louis xvi At the court of the people he was number one He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen When the king said hi to the guillotine The royal astrologer was run out of breath He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death He look in the sky but he look in vain Heavy cloud but no rain Well the land was cracking and the river was dry All the crops were dying when they ought to be high So to save his farm from the banker's draft The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain Heavy cloud but no rain Heavy cloud but no rain The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone The clouds won't go till their work is done And every morning you'll hear me pray If only it would rain today I asked my baby if there'd be some way She said she'd save her love for a rainy day I look in the sky but i look in vain Heavy cloud but no rain - She's Too Good For Me2:30
- Seven Days4:39"seven days" was all she wrote A kind of ultimatum note She gave to me she gave to me When i thought the field had cleared It seems another suit appeared To challenge me woe is me Though i hate to make a choice My options are decreasing mostly rapidly Well we'll see I don't think she'd bluff this time I really have to make her mine It's plain to see It's him or me Monday i could wait till tuesday If i make up my mind Wednesday would be fine, thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time, saturday could wait But sunday'd be too late The fact he's over six feet ten Might instill fear in other men But not in me, the mighty flea (flee?) Ask if i am mouse or man The mirror squeaked, away i ran He'll murder me in time for his tea Does it bother me at all My rival is neanderthal it makes me think Perhaps i need a drink Iq is no problem here We won't be playing scrabble for her hand i fear I need that beer Monday, i could wait till tuesday If i make up my mind Wednesday would be fine, thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time, saturday could wait But sunday'd be too late Seven days will quickly go The fact remains, i love her so Seven days, so many ways But i can't run away Monday, i could wait till tuesday If i make up my mind Wednesday would be fine, thursday's on my mind Friday'd give me time, saturday could wait But sunday'd be too late Do i have to tell a story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet
- Saint Augustine In Hell5:17
Letra
If somebody up there likes me somebody up there cares Deliver me from evil save me from these wicked snares Not into temptation not to cliffs of fall On to revelation and lesson for us all She walked into the room on the arm of my best friend I knew whatever happened our friendship would end Chemical reaction desire at first sight Mystical attraction turned out all my lights The minute i saw her face, the second i caught her eye The minute i touched the flame i knew it would never die I don't know if it's pain or pleasure that i seek My flesh was all too willing, my spirit guide was weak I was deadly certain his thoughts for me weren't kind A switchblade in his pocket, murder on his mind Blessed st. theresa the whore of babylon Madonna and my mother all rolled into one You've got to understand me, i'm not a piece of wood Francis of assisi could never be this good The less i need the more i get Make me chaste but not just yet It's a promise or a lie i'll repent before i die The minute i saw her face, the second i caught her eye The minute i touched the flame i knew it would never die The minute i saw her face, the second i caught her eye The minute i touched the flame i knew it would never die Relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home. hell is full of high court judges, failed saints. we've got cardinals, archbishops, Barristers, certified accountants, music critics, they're all here. you're not alone, you're never alone. not here you're not. okay, Break's over. The less i need the more i get Make me chaste but not just yet It's a promise or a lie i'll repent before i die The minute i saw her face, the second i caught her eye The minute i touched the flame i knew it would never die The minute i saw her face, the second i caught her eye The minute i touched the flame i knew it would never die - It's Probally Me5:08
- Shape Of My Heart4:38
Letra
He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He doesn't play for respect He deals the crads to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden loaw of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart And if i told you that i loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask i wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart - Something The Boy Said5:28
Letra
When we set out on this journey There were no doubts in our minds We set our eyes to the distance We would find what we would find We took courage from our numbers What we sought we did not fear Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling The shadow would disappear But our thoughts kept returning To something the boy said As we turned to go He said you'll never see our faces again You'll be food for a carrion crow Every step we took today Our thoughts would always stray From the wind on the moor so wild To the words of the captain's child Something the boy said In the circles we made with our fires We talked of the pale afternoon The clouds were like dark riders Flying on the face of the moon We spoke our fears to the captain And asked what his son could know For we would never have marched so far To be food for a crow Every step we took today Our thoughts would always stray From the wind on the moor so wild To the words of the captain's child Something the boy said When i awoke this morning The sun's eye was red as blood The stench of burning corpses Faces in the mud Am i dead or am i living? I'm too afraid to care, i'm too afraid to know I'm too afraid to look behind me At the feast of the crow We spoke our fears to the captain And asked what his son could know For we would never have marched so far To be food for a crow - Epilouge (Nothing 'Bout Me)3:41
