1.Call In The Night Boy (3 47)

Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of time
Every step I take I'm further down the line

Here I stand left behind
My eyes open wide
If you need me you should try

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy

Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of tune
Every breath I take I take it over you

I don't care what people say
I don't care night is day
I'll remember if you say

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy
Calling

Here I stand left behind
My eyes are open wide
If you need me you should try

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy
Calling


2.Does Caroline Know? (4 40)

Maybe when the heat's away you're fine
To put another drink away is out of line
Out of line
So easy with a thief to blame
For breaking every pledge I've made
Does it matter if I can't say Caroline knows?

Every little accident takes time
Forget about mistakes I've made they're left behind
Left behind
So easy with a thief to blame
For breaking every pledge I've made
Does it matter if I can't say Caroline knows?
Caroline knows

So easy with a thief to blame
For breaking every pledge I've made
Does it matter if I can't say
Does it matter if I can't say Caroline knows?


3.Dum Dum Girl (3 51)

Dum the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl the dum dum girl

Another sigh with no regret
More coins inside her hands
One time to own respect
Now mercenary she stands

I'm no boy
Stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's
Dum the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl the dum dum girl

Another hand upon her hair
Time probably erased distaste
And so she's left
Where guilt is out of place

I'm no boy
Stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's
Dum the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl the dum dum girl


4.It's My Life (3 53)

Funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I would pay to lose
One Half won't do

I've asked myself how much do you
Commit yourself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

I would tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I would ask myself how much do you
Commit yourself

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends


5.It's You (4 41)

Say it again
Heart of stone
Red on your face
So alone
Say it again
And I'll know it's you
God only knows

Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain, why refuse?
It's you

Say it again
Heart of sand
Tears on your face
'Nothing stands'
God only knows
I've noticed you
Say it again

Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain, why refuse?
It's you

Say it again
I know it's you
God only knows

Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain, why refuse?
It's you

Talk in rhymes about the world watching you
It's you
So unwise about the girl

It's you
Why do lies about the girl bother you?
It's you
Tired of waiting to explain


6.Renee (6 22)

Well baby how the weeks fade
Baby was the best part of your youth a sensation
Yeah that's a change
I never thought I'd end up fooling you

Do you hear what they say?
All these people living up in my street
Well they say
'Out of touch, she lives in faded dreams'

Renee Renee Renee Renee
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change
Renee Renee Renee Renee
Baby how the weeks fade

And maybe when the cheat plays
Maybe when the ace falls from his suit
And he tells you
'Yeah that's the game, I didn't want to lose it on the two'

You're playing his way
But the prize that you've been losing was youth
And I say
'Throw the ace and face up to the truth'

Renee Renee Renee Renee
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change
Renee Renee Renee Renee
But baby how the weeks fade

Renee Renee Renee Renee
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change
Renee Renee Renee Renee

But baby as the weeks change
And we've seen quite a few
I don't know who's fooling who
I'm fooling you


7.Such A Shame (5 42)

Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face'
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share

It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame

The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, 'I don't care'
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share

It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share

It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It's a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change

Such a shame


8.The Last Time (4 22)

One by one
Every courtesy is gone
And the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Pain is quiet
I've laughed at silence
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time

Sometimes one
Sometimes each of us is wrong
But the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Blind to reason
These eyes are dreaming
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time
Let the show begin

Bring on the clowns
Smiling sweetly
Doubt may leave me
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time
Let the show begin
For the last time


9.Tomorrow Started (5 57)

Don't look back until you've tried
A line so openly a lie
'Outside of you, it's just tomorrow starting'

I've said I'm wrong when I've been right
I've seen times when I've been sure but still I find
I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays
They never seem to be any use

It's just tomorrow starting

Don't look back until you've tried
With time you'll endlessly arrive
Outside of use
With just tomorrow starting

See my eyes tell me I'm not lying
I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays
They never seem to be any use

It's just tomorrow started


10.April 5th (5 50)

Here she comes
Silent in her sound
Here she comes
Fresh upon the ground

Come gentle spring
Come at winter's end
Gone is the pallow from a promise that's nature's gift

Waiting for the colour of spring
Let me breathe
Let me breathe the colour of spring

Here she comes
Laughter in her kiss
Here she comes
Shame upon her lips

Come wanton spring
Come for birth you live
Youth takes it's bow before the summer the seasons bring

Waiting for the colour of spring
Let me
Let me breathe
Let me breathe you
Let me breathe
Let me breathe you
Let me breathe


11.Chameleon Day (3 20)

Only of the night
And it's darkness am I calling
Only of the night
My relief in it's falling

Breathe on me, eclipse my mind
It's in some kind of disarray

Killing time, I cradle far

Chameleon days

Chameleon day


12.Give It Up (5 16)

From the place that I stand to the land that is openly free
Watching rivers run black by the trees that are vacant to greed

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance and the joke's just started
Gotta give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out

How can I learn if I don't understand what I see
If I'm giving this mess take a walk through a nightmare so real

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance and the joke's just started
Gotta give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without

Give it up
Gotta give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Tell me if I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out
Or tell me if I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without

Can't do it
You can't do it


13.Happiness Is Easy (6 31)

Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade

It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray

Happiness is easy
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame

Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Happiness is easy
Standing on the sea
Happiness is easy
Jesus tried to love us all
Happiness is easy
Be a friend to me

Happiness is easy

Try to teach my children
To recognise excuse before it acts
>From love and conviction to pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray

Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Standing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be a friend to me

Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love


14.I Don't Believe In You (5 02)

Now the fun is over
Where do words begin
I'm trying to find the path ahead
Any way you say it
The charade goes on
But your eyes won't see it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'

Promises so golden
Years have proved them wrong
I'm trying to leave some self respect
Any way you say it
Our decline goes on
But your pride won't heed it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'

I don't
I don't believe in you

And the way you play itIs the way you want it
Any way you sing it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'


15.Life's What You Make It (4 27)

Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favourite
Don't you hate it

Everything's all right
Life's what you make it
Everything's all right

Baby, life's what you make it
Don't backdate it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty's naked

Everything's all right
Life's what you make it
Everything's all right
Life's what you make it

Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

Everything's all right
Life's what you make it
Everything's all right
Life's what you make it
Everything's all right


16.Living In Another World (6 55)

Better parted
I see people crying
Truth gets harder
There's no sense in lying

Help me find a way from this maze
I can't help myself

When I see tenderness before you left
Forget
That even breaking up was never meant
Forget
But only angels look before they tread
Forget
Living in another world to you

Better parted
I see people lying
Speech gets harder
There's no sense in writing

Help me find a way from this maze
I can't help myself

When I see tenderness before you left
Forget
That even breaking up was never meant
Forget
But only angels look before they tread
Forget
Living in another world to you

Help me find a way from this maze
I'm living in another world to you
And I can't help myself

Did I see tenderness where you saw hell
Forget
Did I see angels in the hand I held
Forget
God only knows what kind of tale you'd tell
Forget
Living in another world to you


17.Time It's Time (8 10)

Nobody knows how long
Rustling leaves unrhyme I'm sorry
Lullaby breeze unsung
Babel of dreams unwinds in memory

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Time it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Now that it's over

Kissing a grey garden
Shadow and shade, sunlight treads softly

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
Contempt is ever breeding
Trapped in itself

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Time it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Now that it's over

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
The wicked and the weeping
Ramble or run

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Time it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Now that it's all over
Now that it's over

Rest your head


18.Believe In You

hear it in my spirit
I've seen heroin for myself
on the street so young laying wasted
enough ain't it enough
crippled world
I just can't bring myself to see it starting

tell me how I fear it
I buy prejudice for my health
is it work so much when you taste it
enough there ain't enough hidden hurt
a time to sell yourself
a time for passing
spirit
how long


19.Ascension Day

Lyricist:Tim Friese-green, Mark Hollis

Bet I'll be damned
Built the debt I turned twos up today
Bet I'll be damned
Gets harder to sense to sail

Farewell, mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same

Weighted my hand
Kill the bed I'll burn on judgment day
Weighted my hand
Get hard hit to sin to sail

Farewell, mother numb to and devout to
Double deal a season wrapt too lax to lapse so soon
Reckon luck sees us the same

Bed on my back
Dealt my hell I've dealt my months of May
Bed on my back
Get parted ascension day

Farewell, mother numb to and devout to
Reckon luck sees us the same
Reckon love deals us the same


20.Talk Talk

Lyricist:Eddie Lee Hollis, Mark David Hollis

What did I tell you before when I was up?
Anxiety was bringing me down
I'm tired of listening to you, talking in rhymes
Twisting round to make me think
You're straight down the line

All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk

If every sign that I see is complete
Then I'm a fool in your game
And all you want to do is tell me your lies
Won't show the other side
You're just wasting my time

All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk

When every choice that I make is yours
Keep telling me what's right and what's wrong
Don't you ever stop to think about me
I'm not that blind to see
That you've been cheating on me

And hear you laugh at me when I'm up
I see you when you were crying for me when I'm down
I see you when you laugh at me when I'm up
I see you when you were crying for me

All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
...


21.Eden

Lyricist:Timothy Alan Friese-green, Mark David Hollis

Summer bled of Eden
Easter's heir uncrowns
Another destiny lies leeched
Upon the ground

Everybody needs someone to live by
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to live by

Rage on omnipotent

A gilded wreath on reason
The flower crushed conceives
A child of fragrance
So much clearer in legacy

Everybody needs someone to live by
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to live by

Rage on omnipotent


22.Myrrhman

Lyricist:Timothy Alan Friese-green, Mark David Hollis

Place my chair at the backroom door
Help me up, I can't wait anymore
Blessed love, the love I've seen

Stair by idle stair
Faith one path and the second in fear

I start in hope
A half wit am I read
I start in hope

Tread dependence beneath my feet
Step right up, something's happening here

Something's happening here


23.It's Getting Late In The Evening

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Everybody's laughing

Crimson sky set the sails
Our hearts are open
Don't cry, I believe release is in your smile

The tide shall turn to shelter us from storm
The seas of charity shall overflow and bathe us all

Walk on by
Make believe our exile's chosen
Untied, I can see our freedom's in your mind

The tide shall turn to shelter us from storm
The seas of charity shall overflow and bathe us all


24.Mirror Man

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Out in the street today
We're parading around
We're the height of the fashion
And she laughs 'cos we look the same
And follow all of the rule

Every little bit of my time
Keeps me checking that my clothes are in line
I'll identify without wasting time

Mirror man

Inside of her room today
She's been working all hours
For the final presentation
Each day, dressed a different way
She's the star of the road

Every little bit of her time
Keeps her checking that she stays out of line
She'll wear anything you can't recognise

Mirror man


25.I Believe In You

Lyricist:Friese-greene Timothy Ala, Mark S. Hollis

Hear it in my spirit
I've seen heroin for myself
On the street so young layin' wasted
Enough ain't it enough crippled world
I just can't bring myself to see it startin'

Tell me how I fear it
I buy prejudice for my health
Is it worth so much when you taste of it?
Enough there ain't enough hidden hurt
A time to sell yourself
A time for passin'

Spirit
How long
Spirit
Spirit
Spirit
How long
Spirit
How long
Spirit


26.Pictures Of Bernadette

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Change, I was flying
Seems my life is dying

How can I confess
I've given everything that I had and still you left
How can I forget
I'm getting pictures of you inside my head

Pictures of Bernadette

Change, I'm no closer
How can I reproach you

How can I pretend
I'm living like a King in a land that heaven sent
How can I suspect
I get a message from you to say you've left

Pictures of Bernadette

Recollection sees the sun upon your hair
How I feel it, love we used to share
How can I accept
I've given everything that I had and still you left

Pictures of Bernadette

I've got a message from you
To say you've left Bernadette


27.The Rainbow

Lyricist:Timothy Alan Friese-green, Mark David Hollis

Oh, yeah
The world's turned upside down
Jimmy Finn is out
Oh, how could that be fair at all?

Too lenient this song
The lawyer sang our nation's wrong

Oh, how can that be fair at all?
Repented, changed
Aware where I have wronged

Unfound, corrupt this song
The jailer sings, my time has run

Who sang the victim's song?
The trial is gone
The trial goes on

Who sang the victim's song?
The trial is gone, the trial goes on
Sang the victim's song


28.Another World

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Lee Harris, Mark D Hollis, Paul Douglas Webb

And when you're hanging 'round
Waiting on the other side of town
Kick a stone on a painted wall
And when the riot comes keep your head

And keep your loving charm
Living life is a glamor show
But it's another word

All soldiers have a cause
Giving life upon graffitied walls
As a way to pass the time
I saw a father's tear

For a leader standing over here
'Who's the King?' says a passer by
But it's another word


29.Another Word

Lyricist:Paul David Webb

And when you're hanging 'round
Waiting on the other side of town
Kick a stone on a painted wall
And when the riot comes, keep your head
And keep your loving charm

Living life is a glamor show
But it's another word

All soldiers have a cause
Giving life upon graffitied walls
As a way to pass the time
I saw a father's tear
For a leader standing over here

â½Who's the King?â, says a passer by
But it's another word


30.Runeii

Lyricist:Friese-greene Timothy Ala, Mark S. Hollis

Well aren't you success
In answer select?
Apologies met
An effigy blessed

Slow to bleed fair son
Rescinded

Well aren't you suspect
In answer unread?
Meander contest
So effortly blessed

Slow to bleed fair son


31.Without You

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Well, I know
Those you don't understand you criticize
And I know
I can never mean anything within your eyes

Stop acting like that
Everybody lives to rearrange
You've got to understand
Nothing can ever stay the same
Without my love, what would it be without you?

Well, I know
If I don't understand you'll sympathize
And I know
If I've never seen everything you'll realize

While I'm acting like that
Everybody seems to rearrange
I've got to understand
Nothing can ever stay the same
What would it be without you?
Without my love, without you

Stop acting like that
Picking on my needs you turn away
I've got to understand
Nothing can ever stay the same

Without my love
What would it be without you?
The story ends


32.Again A Game...Again

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Take my hand
Colors seem so black inside your head
Does everything reflect the time you spend?

So tired of thinking, you
You hide your face
Don't ask me to excuse

I'm only laughing
Again a game...again

Some things are right
I'm only laughing
Again a game...again

Save your words
Words, they're never there for those who try
A stranger in a world, no longer mine

Sometimes I'm feeling used
I'll change my place
I'd sooner be excused

You're only laughing
Again a game...again
I'm only laughing
Again a game...again

Some things are right
I'm only laughing
Again a game...again

There are times I confess
I'm not easy to accept
So come find, I'll react
I'm a reason to be there

They're only laughing
Again a game...again

I'm only laughing
Again a game...again


33.Strike Up The Band

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Mark Hollis

Driving in the back seat around the town
Listen to the lights, I want to see the sound
Of music playing in my head
I never heard a word you said

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The beats are kicking in
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Your ears don't hear a thing
Strike up the band

Looking for reaction without the crowd
Looking in the doors, I get the run around
You never heard a word I said
I've seen this music in my head

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The beats are kicking in
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Your ears don't hear a thing
Strike up the band

You never heard a word I said
I've seen this music in my head

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The beats are kicking in
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Your ears don't hear a thing

Strike up the band
Strike up the band
Strike up the band


34.Desire

Lyricist:Friese-greene Timothy Ala, Mark S. Hollis

Desire, whispered, spoken in time, rivers, oceans
That ain't me, babe, that ain't me, babe
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax than drown within myself

Of mind, sheltered, broken, denied, gifted, stolen
That ain't me, babe, that ain't me, babe
That ain't me, babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself

That ain't me, babe, that ain't me, babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself

That ain't me, babe, that ain't me, babe
That ain't me, babe
I'm just content to relax than drown within myself


35.Hate

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Lee David Harris, Mark David Hollis, Paul
Douglas Webb

Relax your stare
It's laughing in my face
My foes beware
I'm tired of losing grace

The child's not there
The priest is losing faith
Defile my care
And stumble to the flames

People crying, people crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
Hate

The dice won't lose
They've everything to gain
Devout prepare
The stones along my grave

People crying, people crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
Hate

Don't say a word
If I've been away too long
I found out it's wrong
I found out
I don't need hate


36.Have You Heard the News?

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

I'm picking up again
Well it got too much
After the accident
It could feel no worse

I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier, it was a game
I guess the barrier
Must have dropped away

I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?

I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
And shake us

Did you see my photograph?
It was on page ten
I swore to everyone
I'm not to blame

I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier it was a game
I'm so disposable
You can throw me away

I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?

I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
And shake us

What a fool I've been
Didn't get to him in time
What's been happening?
It's so hard to sleep at night
It's so hard to sleep at night
To sleep at night

I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?

I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through?
And shake us


37.Candy

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

This sure is some kind of party
It's so useful
Surrounds my life with excuses
For what I choose to lose

And my name
Doesn't look the same to me
And inside
Don't you know I feel so bad

Candy when I tried to turn away
To feel new again
My emotion cost me pain

Did I look the same
When I think about the times
That I laughed away the idea you'd cheat me?
But look again, what do you say that's my name

And I hope that I've kept you amused
To wipe that spit right off my boots
And when I'm home and thinking in the dark
I hope that none of this has had to go too far

When it gets too late
To see me any other way
And it gets so hard to hold on
To everything that I want so bad


38.It's So Serious

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Mark David Hollis

I've given everything with nothing in return
I'm filled with images that play on every word
No one to tell me there's a cloud before my eyes
Not only broken I don't know the reason why
It's so serious

This endless sea of tears the feeling that I'll drown
I'd try to catch them but they're sure to touch the ground
My world of emptiness a child without a toy
Forgiving anything restore me to my joy
It's so serious


39.John Cope

Lyricist:Timothy Alan Friese-green, Mark David Hollis

Weapons at my feet
Some kind of living
Weapons at my feet
Some kind of living

Beggar sits to plead
Some kind of giving
Beggar sits to plead
Some kind of giving


40.After The Flood

Lyricist:Friese-greene Timothy Ala, Mark S. Hollis

else
To well to drown and drown
Sleight of the reason, how they come

Shake my head and turn my face to the floor
Dead to respect, to respect to be born
Lest we forget who, who lay

Alone, the crowd spurning step by state
Blame something else
Thirsting within, without
Sighted, weeded, how they run

Shake my head and turn my face to the floor
Dead to respect, to respect to be born
Lest we forget who, who lay


41.For What It's Worth

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

I love to hear you sing
In every style you give
Sometimes I'll touch right
Finally you tried

Such pressure you cannot bring
In every trial you'll give
Enough, enough, not all
Finally you'll fall

I love to hear you sing
Along, along, along the crowd
Finally you've found


42.Why Is It So Hard?

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Forgive me if I flip my face of passion
It's the only way
Condemn me if I raise my voice in anger
Such a dumb, dumb waste

Why is it so hard?

Better to escape
If only I could teach you

Why is it so hard?

Forgive if my favorite course of action
Is the easy way
Condemn if out of haste I claim, 'It's over'
When the doubt remains

Why is it so hard?

Better to escape
If only I could teach you

Why is it so hard?

Sometimes I find
It's better to escape
If only I could teach you

Why is it so hard?


43.The Party's Over

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Harris, Mark David Hollis, Webb

The party's over
I never thought you'd stay
The love of laughter
My truth's no longer sane

The party's over
Much older than you'd say
This friend of no one
Time, creases on your face

Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain
Of your love is all I'm guilty of

The party's over
I never thought you'd stay
A style of reason
This life of masquerade

Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain
Of your love is all I'm guilty of

Take this punishment away Lord
Name the crime I'm guilty of
Too much hope I've seen as virtue
Name the crime I'm guilty of


44.Taphead

Lyricist:Timothy Alan Friese-green, Mark David Hollis

When do you know, you know, you know, you know?
Do you die in sin, born again?
With will to wind and wander climb
Through needle neck to consent

When do you know, you know, you know, you know?
Arrive at spring once again
And still to rise beyond the tide

On the mortal track
Fretful or fair
By straw, by strap
Toughening tear

Dust to, dust to, dust to, dust consume
For what is worth
Upon me
Nascent, nascent


45.New Grass

Lyricist:Friese-greene Timothy Ala, Mark S. Hollis

Lifted up
Reflective in returning love you sing
Errant days filled me
Fed me illusion's gate
In temperate stream
Welled up within me

A hunger un-curbed by nature's calling
Seven sacraments to song
Versed in Christ
Should strength desert me
They'll come
They come

Come, they'll come
Come, they come

Lifted up
Reflected in returning love you sing
Heaven waits
Someday Christendom may come
Westward, evening sun precedent
Set my resting vow
Hold in open heart


46.Today

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Harris, Mark David Hollis, Webb

Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone else's dream?
Numbers call to spell my name
Move about as values change, catch me if you can, but don't
delay

Today, today
It's a dream away
Today, today

Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep, let me take the choice the sermon
pleads

Today, today
It's a dream away
Today, today
A dream away

Visions in my cell begin to breed
Was everything a fact of what I've read?
Excuse me while I spell my name
Boat and ship could sound the same, catch me if you can, but
don't delay

Today, today
It's a dream away
Today, today
A dream away

Belle Malissima
Belle Malissima
Belle Malissima
Belle Malissima

Today, today
It's a dream away
Today, today
A dream away

Today, today
It's a dream away
Today, today
A dream away


47.Inheritance

Lyricist:Timothy Alan Friese-green, Mark David Hollis

April song
Lilac glistening foal

Ten as one
On the breeze they flow

When it gets my heart out

When it gets my heart out

Nature's son
Don't you know where life has gone?
Burying progress in the clouds
How we learn to linger on?
Head in sand
Expecting the dour
To redress with open arms
Ascension in incentive end

When it gets my heart out

When it gets my heart out

Nature's son
Don't you know how life goes on?
Desperately befriending the crowd
To incessantly drive on
Dress in gold's surrendering gown

Heaven bless you in your calm
My gentle friend
Heaven bless you


48.Wealth

Lyricist:Timothy Alan Friese-green, Mark David Hollis

Create upon my flesh
Create approach upon my breath
Bring me salvation if I fear

Take my freedom
Sacred love

Create upon my breath
Create reflection on my flesh
The wealth of love bear me a witness to the years

Take my freedom
Let my freedom up
Let my freedom up
Take my freedom up for giving me
A sacred love

Create upon my flesh
Create a home within my head

Take my freedom
Let my freedom up
Let my freedom up
Take my freedom up for giving me
A sacred love


49.My Foolish Friend

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Mark David Hollis

Lay your hands into my head
I've been rude
I don't care what you do

So much heart is not enough
I've seen few
Who treat me like you do

My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life
Upon this weary line

My foolish friend
Don't tell me if I'm right

Teenage tears the saving grace
Of this fool
But no-one's watching you

Save this mirror for your face
There are two
No matter what you choose

My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life
Upon this weary line

My foolish friend
Don't tell me if I'm right
When I can really rebel
Yes, I'm really saddened

My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life
Upon this weary line

My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life


50.Life's What You Make It (Live)

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favorite
Don't you hate it

(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)

Baby, life's what you make it
Don't backdate it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty's naked

(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
What you make it

Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it, anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it

(Everything's all right)
Life is what you make it
What you make it
What you make it

What you make it
Life is what you make it
Life is what you make it
