Wonderland 04:09
WONDERLAND Too late to understand Too soon to hold a hand I sometimes think she’s living in a dream Tell all the pretty girls Their minds in other worlds I’ve only seen it on the silver screen A line that’s taken from a page Turns into something you would say You’re standing on a wire Up by the reservoir But you don’t seem to feel the breeze at all Not even sure you know If just one tiny blow Should kiss your side then you would fall And all the playground games we played The child dares don’t go away I never said you couldn’t understand I just said you live in a wonderland And if you tumble and fall back down to earth I’ll still be standing here Her words like dying vines Lost all their vital signs The twisting of the whisper’s such a shame The friends all told their friends The meanings got the bends And never once did they return the same And when they finally reached the end They came back round to her again I never said you couldn’t understand I just said you live in a wonderland And if you tumble and fall back down to earth I’ll still be standing here

Wake Up John 03:36
WAKE UP JOHN Locked in a dream I found I test my mind’s ability At sleeping through the sound Of engines running near to me Won’t turn down for you And on the ocean bed This tireless whale that waits for war With men inside its head There from the day they closed the door Won’t turn round for you She waits and when she sees you She is filled with joy She waits and when she sees you She is scared to tell you And just because you sleep Wake up John You said yourself that there’s No point carrying on If you reveal They’ll send you back where you Where you came from Great iron bridges lead us over Places once impossible Great stony ridges that we conquer Wild old land so crossable Take us under now you take us under She waits and when she sees you She is filled with joy She waits and when she sees you She is scared to tell you And just because you sleep Wake up John You said yourself that there’s no point carrying on If you reveal They’ll send you back where you Where you came from We wait for messages To tell us that they’re alright They wait for radios To tell them that we’re all ok And if there’s nothing I’d be last of all to know Why would you share the news with me? Why would you let me know? And just because you sleep Wake up John You said yourself that there’s No point carrying on If you reveal They’ll send you back where you Where you came from And just because you dream Wake up John You said yourself that there’s No point carrying on If you reveal They’ll send you back where you Where you came from

STEP OFF THE TRAIN Step off the train my friend Before you reach the bend There’ll be no turning back If you come off this track It’s true I can’t ignore These echoes at my door No season for your word My frosted senses blurred Melts fill you slowly And brooks start to flow Time for a journey Books will teach us what they know Where did you go? So if I wish to look I’d better close my book No blueprint to your flight Turn and you’re out of sight No moon that inky sky Was darker than the Poe Oh Edgar write me stories Where our hearts will glow Where did you go? Well some are here to stay And some friends go away No message of their flight I guess I’ll just sit tight Well it was winter Someone said they saw them throw You from the train my friend Your footprints melted with the snow Where did you go? Step off the train my friend Before you reach the bend There’ll be no turning back If you come off this track

Fifty & 9 03:52
FIFTY&9 For fifty and nine he swam along just fine A mind that’s trained to see Always would know what goes on inside Goes on in me And one day he fell As deep as the well And now a stranger seems to dwell inside So I asked him how this stranger that bears Is changed from days gone by And bowed overhead He said “the strange thing my son is the ease with which I now cry “For one day I fell And how does one tell? No way to know that this would be Would be The way things would turn to pass for me “Before the memory Recalls itself to me This door before the street Becomes a wall I long to fall Becomes a wall that I am small beneath” So take the tears that fell from you And all the tears that fell from me And go and see the way the water moves And leave them to the sparkling stream Go and see the way the water moves for me and you Go and see the way the water moves for me and you Before the memory Recalls itself to me This door before the street Becomes a wall that I am small beneath

IN SEARCH OF THE DELTA Say it’s a riot riot Say it’s a golden night Oh it’s a starry one To not be sleeping right, right? I never found my eye For making hours slip by While I lay turning While I lay turning If I turn upon myself Don’t try, try to try to help I see the sweeping plain below And the memory of a flood in tow And it’s lying Lying before me I wish that I I I Could just walk and walk walk walk Into its open arms Its open arms If I turn upon myself Don’t try, try to try to help I know you’re lying lying lying next to me Oh but your sigh and the symptoms are telling me that I must slide into this sleeping river on my own And when I find that bed lying at the bottom Well if I seem dead well then I’m sorry but I must slide into this sleeping river on my own They say I’m hypnotised They say I’m having trouble Seeing double Everything has slowed down I see the arm of a giant calling And someone else is creeping near And I’m falling from here As my fear of all this burns Then I am lifted by a bird And I’m flown flown flown back to shelter And I’m blown blown blown until I settle And slide into this sleeping river on my own And when you find that bed lying at the bottom Well if I seem dead well then I’m sorry But I must slide into this sleeping river on my own I must slide into this river on my own

A ONCE WAS TRAMP AND TREE Tramp on the root and lean on the bark Worn as a boot the fingers work hard He leans on the tree by the path that he laid The house that he built, the wall that he made When he tried to make, he tried to make a start Stood like a fighter leant into fire When it grew bitter then he would tire And beat by the fist of the wind in his face He dug his legs in from the blusters that chased And he tried to sing but his voice was half of heart He stared out from his kitchen sill And you looked down the ridge of the hill At the man unprepared For a storm that now stared Down on you So we wait for a night or two “Oh storm I have known you all of my life Your fear and your fury cut like a knife” The roof of this house is torn from its walls The look in the eye, a momentary pause “So hit me goodbye, I’ll meet you once more I’m sure” He stared out from his broken sill And you gazed down the ridge of the hill “There’s a gap in the view that each of us knew That it’s time to fill And I hope that we’ll make do” So pass me down to where you once raised me And saw this crown that I own For I’ll be found where you will lay me To hold these walls to keep you safe Until the day The storm returns

The Islander 04:06
THE ISLANDER Take me to the bay in darkness Through this month of nights in one They burned oil in the starless Pitch of night, awaiting And you’re born Dark gave way to dawn They said you were a pearl Found there on the earth As you grew to a girl And she faded from your life And the current towed You by its side And the water sowed A vision in your mind Go to the bend Know where it ends She’s an islander and she longs to be To be in the world she used to be When she was a girl and she left to see To see this world that we all see The hares ran in the wood, No faster than your mind Could carry you away To the world you longed to find And you chose to hide In the mountain’s edge ‘Til it burned A vision in your head Go to descend Know where it ends She’s an islander and she longs to be To be in the world she used to be When she was a girl and she left to see To see this world that we all see And they rose Until we heard them roar And they burned Until they could burn no more

Wanted 03:30
WANTED See all you know And know all you are But are you what you you thought you were When you saw you were wanted Warning, warning Give all you can But they came and they took Did you ever feel, ever feel wanted? Warning, warning Turn away You had to leave You never had to stay with me Cos you’ll always be wanted Warning warning

The Woodsman 03:45
THE WOODSMAN You only wanted to, to be around Or have around you no more than the sound Of branches bowing to two fallen leaves You wipe your brow And then roll up your sleeves and go home And in the dawn you march a while And you make sure That your walk’s worth the mile Throw off this shoulder onto the pile Split with your axe That cracks with a smile of its own Gather as you roam - take what you get home Smoke will coil and comb around your hand Changing as the man So switch the smile for the scowl Trade in the blackbird for the owl And if there’s history, it will be yours You drink it swiftly And wonder the causes of wars Gather as you roam - take what you get home Smoke will coil and comb around your hand Changing as the man And as you march down through the trees A whisper reaches on the breeze A golden stroke across the sky An old and broken passer by But you wear faces you can’t hide The greet is met with no reply We never look dead in the eye We’ve never said a good goodbye Gather as you roam - take what you get home Smoke will coil and comb around your hand Changing as the man

Nosediving 04:53
NOSEDIVING I hit the light switch on the wall He was at least fifty feet tall He knew we’d been here before Close behind you stood in the hall His temper decided he wouldn’t play ball A test flight promoter from head to the floor ’Cause we’re nosediving We’re nosediving I walked into the room The man in the corner picks up his phone He says “they come and go With each winter’s snow when it falls Holding their arms out ‘I love yous’ And playing the fool” “And I’ll take you to Lima And show you a real police chase Ande the mountain range, There’s a good hiding place Will we find out some day Bureaus decide to face? And there’s a whole list of people Saying this is what happened to me But they’ve never been seen” I asked “how have you been?” You just stared at the screen The news said a plane fell but nobody saw And leaders dictate, find a scapegoat ‘It wasn’t our fault’ ’Cause we’re nosediving We’re nosediving I think that we’re nosediving And shattered and frightened And everything seems out of line But Carlos In America Tells me they’re doing just fine

FROM THIS COUNTRY Sold The promises a land would bring to me But nothing grows when nothing sows And so it was the land deserted me And you hit the side of my face with your right And as pretty a sight as can be Were stars in the skies and birds in my eyes ’Til the floor was a wall beside me And my arms were tied A vessel waits for me As I grow tired And I am lead to leave from this country Call a man a fish my friend But fish aren’t made for land my friend They’re better in a dish or in the sea Drop a penny in my glass Mark me as a simple arse “This town has fleas” you spit and say to me I never really thought it would be me I don’t get visions of the sea And you hit the side of my face with your right And as pretty a sight as can be Were stars in the skies and birds in my eyes ’Til the floor was a wall beside me And my arms were tied A vessel waits for me As I grow tired And I am lead to leave We float just like a feather Lines written by the weather I wonder if we’ll ever find our way back home My legs feel tied together We’re pulling at the tether Can’t find a way to sever ourselves from the Wind blows us like a feather Lines written by the weather I wonder if we’ll ever find our way back home My legs feel tied together We’re pulling at the tether Can’t find a way to severe myself and then… You hit the side of my face with your right And as pretty a sight as can be Were stars in the skies and birds in my eyes ’Til the floor was a wall beside me A floor that reminds my country of me From this country
