1.Painted Veil(I Should Have Been Amazed)
I passed on the painted veil
Somerset, some other time and love
Weighed without intention
And that caught her eye
She knew what I was thinking of
I not that hard to find
When I wish of her
I wish her beneath my gaze
And if I drink of her it will
be all my days
And when she told me she was a trinket
I forgot to be amazed
I should have been amazed
Sand in the hallway
The glisten of her laugh
I e never found it easier to spend my days
My soul sings the prowler nocturne
From deep down within this cage
We have too many last nights in our lives
Too many desperate hours
Whispering goodbyes
And baby the earth shook
The last time I heard you cry
Yes you loved me
Gently caressed my face
Not some little sorcery
Some simple twist of fate
I was hundreds of feet away
I should have been amazed
I should have been amazed
2.Never Be Alone Again
I couldn't be anything near,
I couldn't be anything close to you.
You engender in me fear,
Fear you don't believe that my heart is true
I'll never be alone again,
That you loved me, makes me strong
You couldn't be anything near,
You couldn't be anything close to me.
I engender in you fear,
Fear you don't believe that it's meant to be
I'll never be alone again,
That you loved me, makes me strong,
I'll always be your friend
Never be alone again,
That you loved me, makes me strong,
I'll always be your friend..
Come hell or high water,
Set my soul for the gypsies daughter,
Never be alone
For once I held her
3.Mission Beat
You know I never
I never busked in Vulcan Lane
I could not, put my family through the shame
It took deprivation
And an aeroplane
For me and Billy to find our feet
Me and Billy
Walking home weighed down,lebo takeaway
Cheese is burning all around
Deprivation makes a sound so sweet
Billy got a van
Billy got a job
Billy got a job working for the Sydney City Mission
Driving around everyday picking up the people
And taking them home
Billy said to me once
He didn think it was much of a charity
Taking people and putting them
Where they really did not want to be
That the Mission Beat
The Mission Beat
Yeah, the Mission Beat
You know I never
I never busked in Vulcan Lane
Could not, did not, would not, should not
Put my family through the shame
4.What's Her Name？
Well I'm doing it again
I'm searing inside your picture
I'm supposed to be your friend
So I adjust what you want me to think
And I wonder what I'd do - if you blinked
Reached out and touched me
It's a wonder that I get any sleep
When the woman I need is so far out of reach
When we touch and when we talk
Our needs are the same
Well I ache for more of - What's her name？
What's her name？
What's her name？
And I know those earrings
And I have seen parts of that dress
And her hands sparkle with promises
Secrets I'm never gonna get to keep
It's a wonder that I get any sleep
When the woman I need is so far out of reach
When we touch and when we talk
Our needs are the same
Well I ache for more of - What's her name？
What's her name？
What's her name？
Well I'm doing it again
I'm searing inside your picture
I'm supposed to be your friend
So I adjust what you want me to think
And I wonder what I'd do - if you blinked
Reached out and touched me
It's a wonder that I get any sleep
When the woman I need is so far out of reach
When we touch and when we talk
Our needs are the same
Well I ache for more of - What's her name？
What's her name？
What's her name？
Well I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it
again
5.Inside Her Eyes
A turn of your head says
I've met you before,
You say that's not possible
But I could have sworn,
That I asked you the difference
Between sensuous and sexy,
You said know who you are？
That kind of perplexed me.
Inside her eyes,
That's where I want to be,
Inside her eyes,
But I never rush in, I wait for the call.
It's not that she scares me as much as the fear,
Of giving so much, needing so little,
Of loving so gently
My heart never meant me to fall.
Inside her eyes
Now I could be giving too much away,
The way that I'm moving,
Everything I say,
Hey now don't say you won't try to tell me
You don't feel the same,
I picture your eyes I whisper your name
Inside I'm screaming,
Outside i'm sane,
Soon as your？leaving
I need you again,
Left with my dream
But it's just not the same
As inside her eyes (that's where I want to be)
Inside her eyes (that's where I want to be)
I picture your eyes, I whisper your name,
Inside I'm screaming,
Outside I'm sane,
Soon as you're leaving
I need you again,
Left with my dream
But it's just not the same
As inside your eyes (that's where I want to be)
Inside her eyes (that's where I want to be)
I never, I never, I never rush in (that's where I want to be)
I never, I never, I never rush in (that's were I want to be)
Oh baby, I never rush in (that's where I want to be)
Inside her eyes (that's where I want to be).
6.The Same Person
I the same person
That saved you with my lips
The very same man
That blessed your fingertips
The only one around here
Who likes to remember you as you were
The only thing to doubt here
Is are we drinking
Or are we not
Are we sinking？
I e said the same thing now forever
We keep getting sidetracked, waylaid, replayed
hey whatever
My heart ain coming back
No, no never
The only thing to doubt here
Is my actual existence
Juris prudence proven misfit
Likes the snces
But won stick
To the surfaces
He too slick
And so alone
like magic
I the same person
Who taught you with my eyes
You know there was a time girl
You liked to hear my lies
So now what？ Half truth is suddenly despised？
Show me your game plan
You know the dog ate mine
Mine was this insane plan
Where everybody high
Now I know the film flam
Of being someone prize
The only thing to doubt here
Is my actual existence
Only proven by circumference
Stones are thrown
And they don miss
You only get bruised
If you exist
As told to me by prophets
7.Other Ways of Speaking
I can't tell, if I want to know,
What's on your mind,
Should I just go.
It's a long way down from here
I better start with the stairs
It's a long way down from here
You know there's other ways of speaking
Words are just the deep end
I'm not good at keeping secrets from you
But I can't tell, if I want to know,
What's on your mind,
Should I just go.
It's a long way down from here
I better start with the stairs,
It's a long way down from here
You know there's other ways of speaking,
I can read you when you're sleeping
I can feel you when you're breathing
And breaking in two
But I can't tell, if I want to know
What's on your mind
Should I just go.
It's a long way down from here,
I better start with the stairs
It's a long way down from here
You know there's other ways of speaking
Words are just the deep end
I not good at keeping your secrets from you
8.Full Length Of The River
She picks up all the jigsaw puzzle pieces she can find
And she walks away.
If the sun would set right now things would probably seem in
time,
But it's the middle of the day.
Her timings out again, she's looking for another friend.
While she's moving, she better keep on walking.
Well there's a hot desert sun that makes her shiver,
She's praying for the wave to run the full length of the river
Men haven't been the same since her daddy died,
Was he the last real man？
Two strong hands to lift her up
And love enough, to understand.
Everything is cloudy like the last big forest fire,
No stars no guide.
This blackened wasteland of a young girls broken heart,
No place to hide.
The doors have closed again, straining for this to make sense.
Taking comfort from what she knows she's getting used to this.
Well there's a hot desert sun that makes her shiver,
She's praying for the wave to run the full length of the river.
Men haven't been the same since her daddy died,
Was he the last real man？
Two strong hands to lift her up
And love enough, to understand
Full length of the river,
Full length of the river,
Full length of the river
9.Afraid
Waiting here somedays, and looking inside.
You can't live your life on your own love,
Well not all the time
I need somebody, from outside of me,
To come and give me all the things that I have used up
Wrapping other peoples sin
So afraid to begin, so afraid to start again,
Lost in time, held in argument,
Weathers fine as long as you don't speak.
The guilt that I've gathered,
Is like my phrase book of doubt,
Over your shoulder and far away,
The pressure mounts
Now that you've said you will love that little girl for life.
Ah, did you really understand what you were giving away
And how your soul knows you
So afraid to begin, so afraid to start again,
Lost in time, held in argument,
Weathers fine, as long as you don't speak
The shadows stretch the floor,
And I don't seem to know what I'm here for.
There's a moment in Noah arc when panic sets in,
You're afraid of the dark...so afraid
So afraid to begin, so afraid to start again,
Lost in time, held in argument,
Weathers fine, as long as you don't speak
As long as you don't speak,
As long as you don't speak your mind.
10.All The White Circles
Take all the white circles from a deep dark blue background,
Throw them into the air, just to see where they come down.
I said there was emotion, I didn't get specific,
I'm told cowgirls know when to sing and when to listen
So I explode in a pattern and I count when I pray,
the curtains are open but I'm not on my way.
I'm still back on the sideline looking into the house,
It takes more than a nice smile to make me walk out.
Take all the white circles from a deep dark blue background,
Throw them into the air, just to see where they come down.
I said there was emotion, I didn't get specific,
I'm told cowgirls know when to sing and when to listen
Hey prince of innocence, you're full of excuses,
Wrestling desire won't light the fuses
And taking the time to construct how you're feeling,
Goes against all you love and all you believe in
I tried being cryptic to get your attention,
You ignored me
Does that mean I'm too cryptic to mention？
If we're a team what's our intention？
Curing your mind or your crimes with prevention,
Pretending that time doesn't matter
It's just you and me
Take all the white circles from a deep dark blue background,
Throw them into the air, just to see where they come down.
I said there was emotion, I didn't get specific,
I'm told cowgirls know when to sing and when to listen
11.Unfaithful Man
Unfaithful man, tearing up the garden.
Unfaithful man, I asked of you such simple things.
Telling yourself what you feel inside,
Is not the pain of those who hide,
Telling yourself over again,
You will never feel a thing.
You're ten foot tall, unfaithful man
Where were you, when you found out.
Those things you hide, are talked about.
Believe in the way you move around,
If you don't stand still you won't get found.
Telling yourself over again
You will never feel a thing.
You're ten foot tall, unfaithful man.
Telling yourself what you feel inside,
Is not the pain of those who hide.
Telling yourself over again
You will never feel a thing.
You're ten foot tall..and bulletproof,
Unfaithful man
12.Charlie's Song
One of these streets
The city of dreams
Wakes anticipating
In the doorway I lean
On the corner of 44th ＆ 9th
Ain't nothing to be seen
But this is where Lennie lives
The pain gets worse
But I ignore it
It don't really hurt if there ain't a pill for it
I see so many blackbirds
The end of it all
My luck's a baby sister
You gotta be responsible
You listen to her talking 'bout the colour of her hair
You gotta notice sooner or later
If it starts wearing thin
Charlie told me that he didn't understand
How I could do anything but sing with the band
I said Charlie
I still wear the scars from letting my emotions ride
Touring bar to bar
Something had to stop me
Something had to make me keep it in
I'm cheered by the thought
Of so much thinking
Sad song singers
Never depress me
So much to say she'd buy
Ten stories a day
He'd like wine with the west wind
If you are going that way
Everything new carries it's threat
I work myself open
I'm so deep in debt
I've stopped working
I'm waiting for the chains
Perspectives your cloud baby
Here comes the rain
13.Swallow My Gift
How you want to see this situation
Straight down the barrel or from some other location
Running up hills never been my vocation
It's my punishment
For drinking my frustration
Big wide world
Why don't you swallow my gift
I'm ragged up and ready to grift
Big wide world
Swallow my gift
Say a little something at the dinner table
Raise up your glasses if your eyesight's feeble
Try and see the target is the barn not the stable
Giving into comfort
You won't be able
Big wide world
Why don't you swallow my gift
I'm ragged up and ready to grift
Big wide world
Swallow my gift
You follow me
I'll haunt you
Don't bite baby
It's more than you can chew
So being this way says I'm in that way
Says I live the way You'll complain about 'til death
'Til you're smelling heaven's breath
Then you might just realize
Nasty little fuckers
Just don't win the prize
Big wide world
Why don't you swallow my gift
I'm revved up and ready to grift
Big wide world
Swallow my gift
Big wide world
Why don't you swallow my gift
I'm ragged up and ready to grift
Big wide world
Swallow my gift
