1.Anchor Me
Lyricist:Donald Bain Mcglashan
Full fathom five
Someday I'll lie
Singing songs that come
From dead men's tongues
Anchor me, anchor me
As the compass turns
And the glass it falls
Where the storm clouds roll
And the gulls they call
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
Let the salt spray lash
The shivering skin
Where the green waves crash
And the whirlpools spin
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me
Where the banshees cry
And the bells they sound
When you lift me high
When you pull me down
When you pull me down
When you pull me down
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
In the middle of your deep blue sea, your deep blue sea
In the middle of your deep blue sea, your deep blue sea
Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
2.Don't Fight It Marsha. It's Bigger Than Both Of Us
Lyricist:Donald Bain Mcglashan
It's been some time now, a year or so
If you weren't coping, you'd have let me know
My friends say I do too much, I've got a lot on my plate
If there was something, I wouldn't hesitate
There's five blue figures on a white circle
They're making agreements
They're keeping each other in line
And I want you to be happy
But I'd rather that you were still with me
Perhaps we can arrange something
Arrange something
I took pride in my even hand
When I took control, I thought you'd understand
If all things were equal, I could be your friend
I could turn around and take it again
There's five blue figures on a white circle
They're making agreements
They're keeping each other in line
And I want you to be happy
But I'd rather that you were still with me
Perhaps we can arrange something
Arrange something
3.Esther
Lyricist:Gregg Alan
Esther's been reading books
She's changed the way that she talks
And the way that she looks
Her coffee is black now
And so are her clothes
She's shaved off her hair
And put a ring through her nose
Esther's been watching movies
And she must have seen someone
That she would like to be
With looks like hers
She could be on the screen
But she's the worst actor
That I've ever seen
Esther, I've known you for ages
And I've watched you through all the changes
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
But now we're becoming strangers
Esther's been burning bridges
I remember the time when she turned religious
But soon she turned her back on the church
And brushed it aside to continue the search
Because Esther's been searching for something
She doesn't quite know what it is
Yes, Esther's been looking for something
Maybe something that doesn't exist
Esther, isn't it funny
How we don't do the things we used to do
You don't think about that anymore, Esther
But Esther, I still think about you
Esther's been getting lonely
After she cut herself off from the only
People on whom she could depend
People who were happy to call her their friend
Esther, I've known you for ages
And I've watched you through all the stages
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
But now we're becoming strangers
Oh Esther, oh Esther
4.Dominion Road
The Muttonbirds
Dominion Road is bending
Under its own weight, shining like a strip
Cut from a sheet metal plate
'Cause it's just been raining
Jane reached the point where she knew
What it meant before he opened his mouth
He couldn't say them same
Or he'd have guessed she was moving south
With one of his friends
But it's getting better now
He found it in him to forgive
He walked the city
And he found a place to live
In a halfway house
Halfway down Dominion Road
As he watched Jane's brother sell the house
He felt no sense of loss
More like a mountain climber
Looking back having made it across
The steepest face
But he's still climbing
See him trying to cross the street
He checks his footing
Like he was up ten thousand feet
Above the the clouds
Halfway down Dominion Road
But it's getting better now
He rests his head on the window sill
He watches the city
See the antennas in the hills
From a halfway house
Halfway down Dominion Road
Halfway down, halfway down
Halfway down Dominion Road
Halfway down, halfway down
Halfway down Dominion Road
Dominion Road
