She-Moon 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Here the planet turns Where memory burns A black hole in me While the planet turns The Moon by my side Like a little sister rides Out the soul in me Under She-Moon The ground all around The sound beat me down Oh, how profound No sound here is found In stars Coming soon In bars I lick my wounds And all that’s left of us Under the stars Love comes for me I swear I will be free To follow forever This love in eternity Lost in the clouds Tears in the sky Make me a happy guy Maybe they’re just clouds The wave hit the shore Like a wave nothing more Smashing through the door Then nothing more The forest ever grows Trees seem too slow Maybe she knows How a forest should grow Maybe she knows Maybe she knows Maybe She-Moon knows How a lover should be Maybe she knows Maybe she knows Maybe she knows How a lover should be

Angel of the Sun 03:18
lyrics

Somewhere there's a light Shining through the darkest night Somewhere - endless love Maybe it comes from above From above Baby, if you ever fall Feel your back pressed against the wall When you stand alone At the crossroads far from home You cry out, there’s no-one there But anger lingers everywhere Just look within, you’ll find A beautiful light comes to your mind It comes to your mind Somewhere inside everyone The angel of the sun The angel of the sun

Never Gonna Die 03:30
lyrics

It was never meant to be like this She was never meant to be the kiss I never meant for things to be this way I never thought that I would stay I’m never ever never gonna die Never gonna die Never ever will I I see her in my daydreams Where nothing is ever what it seems She lives high up in the sky Thank God it's only gravity I need defy The angel says, you got a wife and kid Don't look back on all the things you never did You can't change time, it changes you Temptation takes a toll, but still you can be true And always in the end This angel will be your friend

Inside the Walls 04:43
lyrics

Is heaven really just a state of mind? Was it invented, or was it designed? Is this real, or just the imagination Of a fevered brain crying out for information? When you go home, the lost are waiting there When you were a kid you were scared to climb the stairs I’m giving up coffee It’s no good for me All it does is drive my brain Right down the drain My angel crawls Inside the walls They say I'm insane But there he goes again Now I can feel the difference Now I can see the magnificence The angel crawls Inside my walls They say I'm insane But here he comes again

The Bailiff's Dream 05:44
lyrics

You need a place to live Somehow they think that gives them All you have, and all your years And when you're old and done They'll own the very sun Who gave you life That's what they need Who will set them right? Set all their boats alight Who would wish to die by fire? [Backwards: If death by taxes ever was the trend The tax man would be your best friend So, don't you worry Mrs Murray We'll get back in a double hurry] The Earth will change its axis Before they stop those taxes Borrow four and pay back ten They pluck it from the trees They'll have you on your knees When you go you won't be back again You work to pay the Man Who sells you what he can The currency he will defend It says here that you owe us everything So, you'll need to vacate the premises by seven AM this coming Thursday Law enforcement officers will be in attendance should you have any questions about the process And please remember, your bank is there to help you, holding your hand every step of the way We only have your best “interests” at heart. [Granny and the bailiffs]

The Flesh 03:13
lyrics

If you're looking for science No doubt you'll find it within yourself If you're looking for signs of life, there they are If you're looking for love Well, it's all in your mind If you're looking for blood and bones, don't look too far Air and water, fire and earth and electricity is all you are All the emperors were very sure they had it all worked out They were made of stars No need for revolution, no need to scream and kill and shout Here it is, it's everything you ever wanted The flesh, and all that goes with it Don't you want it? Don't you need it? Can't you feel it? Can’t you feel it?

Atomic Snowfall 03:20
lyrics
buy track
A thousand years ago When I was sane The wind blew hard from the eastern plain Came over the mountains, over the northern sea Father's bones in the gutter Fixing what no-one could see In the pouring rain In the pouring rain Bones in the dirty water Later, when the roof was done, Came atomic snowfall Under the atomic sun Under the atomic sun Now his hands are broken Greyhounds and the flocks are choking The clouds will last forever Making atomic snowfall Everywhere we can be Radioactivity The scar will never stop bleeding The frontiers are receding Quicker than the eye can track Pouring out of the chimney stack Black clouds once cooled the flames Know their deeds but never their names Atomic snowfall x 6

Swallowing the Whale 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Lock yourself behind closed doors Eternity has only just begun All the mothers, freaks and whores Start the morning worshipping the sun Radiation falls upon their painted faces Think of all the many ways they fail There's a warship deep beneath the ocean The Captain swallowing the whale The good dog eats out of your hand Guards the door, sleeps by your bed The wolf will follow no command Goes where he wants, eats of the dead I was once untamed and wild Now I tarry for your word Like a little baby, like a little child Looking for a truth no-one has heard They say God loves, he really cares How come we never know he's there? If all God's creatures love him so How come they never seem to know?

Burning the Ocean Dry 03:21
lyrics

I saw the tide come, I had no choice Stood beside you with the burning Goodbye Boys If the tide comes away down here Fill my body full of dread fear When the time comes, hear my voice When the time comes, I will rejoice Get the vote out, get out of my face Don't need your kind in my space There's a fire in the sea In the water there's a drowning dead man free Octopus in his brain Never ever will live again Fire lights up the sky There's a fire burning the ocean dry Got nothing, I'm nowhere There's a fish inside my dead head I ain't breathing, I don't need air Walking home from the sea bed In a warship made on the Clyde That's where me and a dozen died Just trying to live and be kind Then fire blew out our minds You wanna know how this will end? It doesn't go well for me or my friends Dark took us, it brought us right through You hate us, I don't blame you The truth will come out, it must be told Truth is there's no pot of gold I can't help you, can't save me From the devil or the deep sea They're gonna get you, I can't stop that Washed up on shore, a drownded rat Better get the silver bullet I hope you know where you must shoot it

Out of the Faifley 03:34

You can take the boy out of the Faifley You canny take the Faifley out of the boy You can put the babies intae the prison That's where they ever will bide Down in West Street lies the ghost of my daddy Sent me off to school every morning with the Whites Ian and Billy catching bad guys for a living Sleeping through the day, shifting through the night I was raised on the banks of the Clyde They told me Jesus was on our side I was raised where the warships reside Where the widows and the bairns still cried John Knox was a man of the faith Bring the weans in, bring them in close Get yourself a little dose of his religion Sing in the choir, like a wee bird Under the dome they had an x-ray machine See right through to the bones of the world If your shoes never fit you good Must be 'cos you never did the things you should I was raised on the banks of the Clyde Making warships for Britannia In the days when she still ruled the waves Acquainting infidels with their graves

Our Time 03:21

Look what's coming down the line I got a good feeling, I'm feeling fine Empire, Union, Kingdom done A revolution goes better without your gun All we need is a love of one another Every colour and creed, my sister and my brother All the flags, the fags and the queers and the Kooks And the nerds hear the words, no second looks Once was a nation had a reputation Stood up at the altar, waiting in the station Too wee, too poor, too dumb Say the lords in the lords sucking on their mummy's thumb White cross on a field of blue It mean nothing to them like it means to you I wouldn't die for a cross on a field But I live my life until the day it's real ‘Cause it’s Our time It’s our time Look what's coming down the line I got a good feeling, I'm feeling fine Empire, Union, Kingdom done A revolution goes better without your gun Don't you frown Your feet are on the ground Don't let the doubters bring you down Because it’s Our time White cross on a field of blue It means nothing to them like it means to you I wouldn't die for a cross on a field But I live my life until the day it's real

The Goodbye Guys 03:21

Would you like to hear the story of the Goodbye Boys? Ha ha ha ha ha! I was walking down the street one day The rozzers grabbed me, dragged me away I was kicking and screaming, they pulled on my hair They flung me in the pokey and they left me there The next morning in comes Big Sam, he says “Do you know who I am?” I says, “You're Big Sam, like a fat hunk o' ham, Big Sam that's who you am.” He says, “Don't gie us no trouble boy 'Cos I can double your trouble at the drop of my hat.” I says, “Big Sam you got a big yella hat, so double my trouble, yeah just do that.” “I don't think you understand”, says Sam. “I got the goods on you, I got you on the lam Running up a racket on my side of town Now I'm taking you down, taking back my crown. “The Polis owes me a solid turn, I'm calling it in you're gonna burn baby burn All I'm gonna leave of you is ashes and bones I’m gonna get your case tried by Bad Judge Jones.” [Doot doot etc] I says, “Bad Judge Jones disney frighten me I got special topic photography Of Judge Jones in the in flagrente Wae another man's wife, and he's gieing her plenty “D'ye think ma mammy popped me oot last week That the world is owed to the poor and the meek I got my finger right up your pie You got nothing on me, not the gleam in my eye.” Sam took a turn and he went real pale, He says, “I’m gauny leave you rotting in this jail.” I told Big Sam he had the whole thing wrong It was him would be singing up a jailbird song I introduced him to my good mate Jim Joined the rozzers just to keep himself slim I advised him of my situation And much to my delight and Big Sam's frustration They held him on a trumped up charge Ten years in Barlinnie and he's giving it large Jim's getting skinny, Sam's getting wise That's the tale of the Goodbye Guys [Doot, doot The Goodbye Guys etc.]

The Very Blessed [bonus track] 03:29

It started just like any other day, yeah! I took the time to make myself a little prayer I’ve been taking too much carb again I think I’m trying to break the boundaries of my skin Little houses smokin’ under the volcano Don’t you do it just because the bad man says no Yeah, you do it all the same Cuttin’ out his given middle Christian name They made you sick with a fear you cannot see Of what that lab created pox might really be The medicine he made us take was worse than useless So, instead he blamed the children and the very blessed The Very Blessed! The Very Blessed! Now I’m drinkin’ only holy water Now I’m dreamin’ of my one and only daughter Comin’ to me for the summer holidays That’s what her mother’s boyfriend always says How do I describe this colour conundrum To a blind man? It’s not that he’s dumb He has eyes, but he just cannot see Sightless, unknowing Not the least wee bit like you and me If nobody told you how to sing What makes you bring us anything? Nobody told you how to sing What makes you bring us anything? The Very Blessed! The Very Blessed!
