Aztec Camera Dreamland Lyrics
1.Birds

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

Hey baby, baby, bring your love to me
Repeats the radio relentlessly
All day I dream a dream where feelings flee
In free formation

The sweetest sound reflects in saddened eyes
Defies description and identifies
The heart that hungers for the sudden skies
The souls migration

How sweet to fly, to touch the sky
To feel in the flow like the one who glides there
I feel we flew, we never knew
But to know is to go when your heart resides there

I take a winter coat and walk the square
The people gather and the birds they scare
Concrete and clay conspire to cage me there
Among the lost boys

Down in the streets I see the trees grow bare
Broken and battered in the thinning air
The birds are scattered and my footsteps there
I long for lost joy

How sweet to fly, to touch the sky
To feel in the flow like the one who glides there
I feel we flew, we never knew
But to know is to go when your heart resides there

How sweet to fly, to touch the sky
To feel in the flow like the one who glides there
I feel we flew, we never knew
But to know is to go when your heart resides there


2.Safe In Sorrow

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

I'm not trying to say
I'm so much stronger than you
I'm just trying to save you
From that long dark night

You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly so you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow

So turn on the light
I'll make you feel
That all of tonight
Is realer than real

Feel my devotion dawning
Slowly like a summer day
You'll see you don't have
To be safe in sorrow

We look at the world
And see it's bigger than we'll be
Take a look at the stars
They shine so free

You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly
So you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow

So turn on the light
I'll make you feel
That all of tonight
Is realer than real

Open your arms and let me in
Don't stay safe from harm
Let love begin
Take that ride
There's no need to hide
So safe in sorrow

You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly so you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow

Just open your eyes
Then you will see
There's no need to be
So safe in sorrow

Let me turn on the light
Then you will see
My love is for free
You're safe from sorrow now


3.Black Lucia

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

People say that all I do is talk about you
But that's not true
I talk about you, think about you
Dream about you, can't live without you
It's just not true

I can almost feel the sunshine
When black Lucia led the white parade
Let me always be the one who's left behind
When they desert you

She's not your blue eyed girl, no diamond calling
She's a darkened sky, a crystal light
When the day runs dry and rain is falling
Black Lucia, lead me into night

I never thought that I could never be the same
Until I met you
I thought my time had been arranged
Times have changed since you came
I miss you

I can almost feel the sunshine
When black Lucia led the white parade
Let me always be the one who's left behind
When they desert you

She's not your blue eyed girl, no diamond calling
She's a darkened sky, a crystal light
(A crystal light)
When the flags unfurl and tears are falling
Black Lucia, lead me into night

She's not your blue eyed girl, no diamond calling
(No diamond calling)
She's a darkened sky, a crystal light
When the day runs dry and rain is falling
Black Lucia, lead me into night


4.Let Your Love Decide

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

Well, when I've questioned
All I could and come undone
And only sadness stands
Between me and the sun

When loving leaves and leaves me
Waiting on the one
And my heart can't hide
And when seduction separates me from surprise

I open my eyes and I let your love decide
I let your love decide
I let your love decide

Well, when I saw you in the spring
You caught my eye
Eluded me and made me wonder why
An unassuming, undermining kinda guy

Could not be on your side
And when your brown eyes
And my blue did so collide
I sat by your side and I shied away

And I let your love decide
I let your love decide
I let your love decide

Well, if the world was like I wished
When I was young
When all the things that I had thought
Could still be done

When we could win the wars
And wars could still be won and I didn't miss you
And when the world was opening up
Like a father to his son and I could kiss you

Well, let your love decide
Well, let your love decide
Let your love decide

So let your love decide


5.Spanish Horses

Writer(s):Roddy Frame

Ran a red light, running lonely through Gaudi's soft confusion
Hey, hey, my Barcelonian
Such a gentle Jones running through my bones
Placa reial calls, it calls, it calls
It calls the night home

And then her eyes like Spanish horses
Danced as language died
They danced like Spanish horses

As saddened skies descended on the night
We saw two ships set sail
And the lights danced on the water
They danced, they danced like Spanish horses

Trying to exercise, thought that daytime dies, race
Run and stumble, fall into dark
Feel the fire, see the spark
Then you fall, then you fall
So free and humble, you tumble

Into her eyes like Spanish horses
Danced as language died
They danced like Spanish horses

As saddened skies descended on the night
We saw two ships set sail
And the lights danced on the water
They danced, they danced like Spanish horses

You're born from bloody revolution
You're lost to simplicity and small solutions
So you burn when you're born
Then you burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn


6.Dream Sweet Dreams

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

Love is sleepwalkin'
Coppin' unworldly sights
Searchin' and stoppin'
Bangin' the world to rights

Can't let kilometers
Or colors defeat us try
For something so sweet

We'll never be beat
We'll conquer the seas
And sail the deep blue sky

I dream a dumb dream
The fires are blazin' bright
The faces of famine
Are fed in the flames

Sweet light
The guns are a burnin'
The bullets are silent shells
The hands are a turnin'

The times are a changin'
The lovers are learnin'
Ringin' out the bells

Hold tight
All night
Always alright
We're on a wave


7.Piano's And Clocks

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

Well, hello there, sweet to see you
Like your colour, how you doin'?
I've been battered and bewildered
In the beauty of your ruins

Flash, flash and I am blinded
By the fact that you've been born
Feels like fiction life goes on
Brown eyes are gone

Silence is a virtue
I was taught so I agreed
Conversation half forgotten
Is the hole I hold in me

And all our language and expression
Is decimated by decree
The sound of song dies in the dawn
Brown eyes are gone

Descended slowly on the steps of the cathedral
Where I kissed you
Remembered candles lit with meaning I imposed
But that escaped you

With your brown eyes and your blue jeans
I heard the chiming of the clocks
Kick out the shifting shuffling rhythm
Of your docs

Hit the road with my compadre
Saw the city incomplete
We were tossed and torn and tumbled
In your famous foreign streets

I felt so fearless and forgotten
No one numbered nothing neat
The son has shone, we still belong
Brown eyes are gone

So farewell then Senorita
Pianos played and set the tone
I was singing like a servant
To the tune of telephones

I wish you freedom and forgiveness
And a time that is your own
Blue is the colour, mine's the moment
Brown eyes are gone

Blue is the colour, mine's the moment
Brown eyes are gone


8.Sister Ann

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

When days are just a trail of clothes
Slung over poetry and prose
A red reminder of the things I owe
A songbird silenced in the setting snow
I'm left here looking at the bones

I'm stranded in a sea of stepping stones
I stood inside of something I'd outgrown
A simple sadness in the great unknown
I think again and thank the earth and kiss the stone

I saw the anger in your eyes, neutralized, made hollow
Faith and healing met the wide eyed child
Redemption smiled, I followed
It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick
Then the summer and your heart gets fixed and I say

Sister Ann says 'there's no need to be down
There's something you can do', it all follows
Sister Ann says 'there's no need to find
Solace in anything, if you don't want to'

It's like the light is gonna find you then
Then the beauty in your eyes
And the stillness of the night
And the beating of your breast
Is gonna put you there again

The single silence of a kiss
Two voices merged and gone amiss
Belief that bends and so beyond that bliss
Finds deeper darkness on relies on this
Then wide awake it wonders why and says resist

I saw the anger in your eyes, neutralized, made hollow
Faith and healing met the wide eyed child
Redemption smiled, I followed
It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick
Then the summer and your heart gets fixed and I say

Sister Ann says 'there's no need to be down
There's something you can do', it all follows
Sister Ann says 'there's no need to find
Solace in anything, if you don't want to'

It's like the light is gonna find you then
Then the beauty in your eyes
And the stillness of the night
And the beating of your breast
Is gonna put you there again


9.Vertigo

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

Dear people, I've seen something
I can't leave alone or give to chance
No matter how I try

Born from the knowledge of a girl
Thrown into the arms of man
The mother of necessity
The child of war

So I feel it and I need it
And I heed it then I let it be done
Until I know it and I show it
And it grows until we both become one

The sound of the swiss bells
The promise of a young girl
Both falling softly on the white, white hills

Versus a famous face
In the sheen of a Cadillac
See you some other place
Man, I'm going back

To where I'm captured and caressed
And life's undressed and left where living belongs
To where I feel it and it heals
And we've revealed until we both become one

I see the foot of the hill
Embrace the sky and then it's easy
(It's easy)
Forget framo and I
I wonder why and see the real me
(It's easy)

I climb to the top of the tower
I see a shooting star
Reach out to touch it and it falls
Alone

Now that her smile has stuck
I cannot go back to your frown land
Now that her sun is up
I cannot go back to your downland

Because I feel it and I need it
And I heed it and I let it be done
Until I know it and I show it
And it grows until we just become one

So bin your filas, babe
Pull on your shoes
And scale the real heights
(It's easy)

The gifts that goodness gave
Destroy the blues
And leave a love light
(It's everything)

We climb to the top of the tower
We see a shooting star
Reach out to touch it and we fall
As one


10.Valium Summer

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

Where the streets just sparkle silently
And leave the lovers to the night
Remembering how they came together with such violence
Felt so good they did it twice

Too early for September songs
But much too late for love to bloom

V A L I U M summer
(S U M M E R)
Could you be mine, shine through my summer?
Could we be set free, fly all summer?
V A L I U M summer
(S U M M E R)

Misunderstood the moon and missed the sun
Too busy waiting on the word go
But now your lips will last a lifetime
And every second is a rainbow

Too early for September songs
But much too late for love to bloom

V A L I U M summer
(S U M M E R)
Could you be mine, shine through my summer?
Could we be set free, fly all summer?
V A L I U M summer
(S U M M E R)

V A L I U M summer
(S U M M E R)
Could you be mine, shine through my summer?
Could we be set free, fly all summer?
V A L I U M summer
(S U M M E R)

V A L I U M summer
(S U M M E R)
Could you be mine, shine through my summer?
Could we be set free, fly all summer?


11.Belle Of The Ball

Lyricist:Roddy Frame
Writer(s):Roddy Frame

When you're the belle of the ball
It's hard to fall
And sacrifice your status for a fool
But all your apparatus and your charm
Can never cool the still, still waters
Or warm the chilling air

When you're the belle of the ball
And your gown's a-shining
And you're underlining all my thoughts
Why give yourself to he who has the lot?
I have something to declare

Sensing when to smile
It's like predicting miles
You'll never know
To kiss and then caress
Could crease your party dress
And spoil the show

So the belle of the ball
Will bow to protocol
Misfortune won't befall her
She's the star

She'll glide into the night
Beneath her guiding light
She'll suffer every slight and heed the call
But it's alright, it's alright
She's the belle of the ball
