calling grey 03:24
lyrics
buy track
There's aliens in my head Just through the membrane of this reality And they always know my name They always look the same Sitting around the campfire Beneath a different Milky Way Three of them laughing now At everything I say No matter what I say Calling grey I was wondering, do you see them too Maybe they're watching over everything we do My God, I hope it's true I fell into the west I felt it would be best To peel off all my skin Let them reel me in Then it occurred to me I might be a thief Stealing time and space From those who might believe All we need to do is leave

godforsaken 04:47
lyrics
buy track
I see patterns in the sun I see everyone I see everything that’s ever been done In the name of God and the Holy Ones I saw the death of rock and roll I saw the place they hid your soul I saw the birth of something old and recognised the signs In a dumbed down TV show I don’t want you to think There’s no need for you to say All the things that must be said before the moment moves away (Now it comes to it I’m not sure that I care) I see cities in the snow People frozen to the bone But hey, what do they know? They’re never gonna go there alone I don’t want you to think There’s no need for you to pray Just because we’re living here in this godforsaken day and age

love is missing 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I might start my life Screaming in agony I might end the same way Everything that goes between Comes between us, let us pray For something better, help us through our longest days God can't help us Without love Love is missing In our world Love is missing From this world The ocean never dries The tide keeps going out My sun still shines Your moon still pulls Me down to the fields Where nothing seems real Anymore Just a dream About the shore I thought I knew you gravity Bones grind through my shoes, the years A machine of endless gears You sent a poet Into a bloody war Armed with pen and paper Against the guns and bullets You must have known it could not end well You can't help me Without love Love is missing From your world

1967 04:30
lyrics
buy track
It’s half past midnight, everything is cooling down, Cooling down, cooling down Something happened in London town in 1967 They broke into heaven Michael and Sidney stepped out of the pages of their lives And couldn’t get back in Ask yourself why they never tried Why they never tried Why they never tried Snow is lying, small dog makes his way over the lane Once again Ask yourself Why they never tried To bring him back in time Back in time

honeydrowned 04:51
lyrics

I was sleeping like a honeydrowned dog She was leaving through the morning fog Put myself into her little red shoes I was just another fool for her to lose Higher higher higher Liar liar liar Higher higher higher You’re a liar She was smoking weed to fight the fire My hippy darling playing piano for the choir Imagine it was me inside her head Dreaming all those dreams and wishing I was dead Liar liar liar Getting higher higher higher Liar liar liar You get higher You’re a liar I was building, cut my finger to the bone Just then my uncle calls, his dealer’s on the phone The Africans are coming, the bags are gone, The money’s down the drain, the whole thing’s going wrong Liar liar liar Higher higher higher Liar liar liar You get higher But you’re still a liar Yeah, higher higher higher Liar liar liar Higher higher higher You’re a liar You’re still a liar liar liar Higher higher higher You’re a liar liar liar You’re a liar You’re still a liar

the family 04:03
lyrics
buy track
We gotta watch Frank talk Watching time flowing on the clock in his kitchen Ten years from now he will be dead, the will be read And Frank will be gone What will linger on? We can buy little pieces of him From the family From the family I’m watching Harvey sing, watch everything that Alex can bring I’m watching Zal go crazy, with a love that still amazes me Rodney is dying, but he still can still raise a laughing glass Life is good Life is good I’m gonna build my house Yea, I’m gonna build it somewhere in the south Right by the desert shore Once was an ocean here but not any more I’m walking on my own My shoes down to the bone The glass is blue, crimson and green The best I’ve ever seen The best I’ve seen It’s the best damned glass I’ve ever seen

I think I saved the world 02:01
lyrics
buy track
Last week I think I saved the world But I never got the girl No I never get the girl When I was young I knew this pretty thing For a while she made me smile Yeah, she made me smile But the city is in flames And I'm the one to blame I should be fighting for the love of everyone But you turned and looked at me And I swear that I could see The turning of the tide in your eyes And now she's gone My baby's gone

still be gone 03:10
lyrics
buy track
I can tell there’s no way of knowing If my mind is going And the world is flowing away You can see it’s no way to be Don’t hold on to me I think I’m going astray And if the answer lies in eternity It’s no damned use to you and me If something awaits in the great beyond I’ll still be gone gone gone Gone gone gone Gone All we had was a life of joy With a baby boy and a baby girl They were the world Yes there was pain Again and again But the human condition always goes away in the end

a goodbye song 04:42
lyrics
buy track
There’s something missing in my blood I’m tuning you out, tuning you out my love I’m sending this to all our friends Hoping it makes amends for all I put us through Gotta shade my eyes Out there in the real world you can take your time Finding those you need much more than me Be sure to tell them I said hello You know it’s nowhere that I need to be And nothing I would rather do But my body hurts and my head drowns in sweetness The helicopter hits the ground And of all the times I coulda died The universe determines in its infinite wisdom That I take my boy with me No wonder I shade my eyes This is a goodbye song

the mountain 04:48
lyrics
buy track
In days gone by they used to cry about the devil in the mountain Time went by and we came by And we climbed right up the mountain Do you know what we found there Hidden away from everyone? I crossed the sea, just little old me On a fountain made of fire They said to me, you’re way up high But the mountain still was higher There is no air to breathe on Titan or Mars On Venus there is no love Just cold and empty unforgiving stars We’re all climbing the mountain In future days they will erase all traces of the mountain They’ll stand and stare, the great nowhere And the devil will still be counting Do you know what he’ll find there underneath it all? Do you know what he’ll find there Behind the broken unforgiving walls? We’re all climbing the mountain We’re all climbing the mountain We’re all climbing the mountain We’re all climbing the mountain

Like all musicians I wished I had the same number of limbs as an octopus. My wish was granted, but not in the way I had hoped for. My cephalopod partner is an enthusiastic volunteer from the worldwide animal charity Save Humans From Themselves. We share a special kind of love. ... more
