The Young Knives Ornaments From Lyrics
1.Love My Name

If you had a crystal ball,
You would look in it, I know,
You might just catch a glimpse
Of something like a ripple and a whirl.

I love my name!
I love my name!
I love my name!
Hurray, hurray!
The party's over, we can stay!

Laughing at your tyre tracks
Take a back seat, wait for ten and ...
We could be animal or vegetable or mineral you know

I love my name!
I love my name!
I love my name!
Hurray, hurray!
The party's over, we can stay!

The time will tell
For now you might just sleep to wake,
So when you stare
I'll say to the world, I love my name!

Happy is the wise man,
Break a bone and dig a grave!
Put my ear against the Earth,
I hear them say I love my name!
I love my name!
I love my name!

I love my name!
I love my name!
I love my name!
Hurray, hurray!
The party's over, we can stay!

I love my name!
I love my name!
I love my name!
Hurray, hurray!
The party's over, we can stay!

3.Everything Falls Into Place

The cheque has bounced, again
The wolves are at, my door
And the injuries that I sustained
Have rid their ugly heads again
And I strain an ear
For your sweet words
They soften off my pain

And everything falls into place
Again

The smash of breaking glass
Soundtracks my day today
And paperwork is piling up
And in the castle flies amock

And everything falls into place

And in the end, and in the end, everything will turn out alright

And everything falls into place
And so bravery falls to the cowards
And mystery comes from the mundane
And nothing should fall by the wayside
And no one should live in a lay-by

And everything falls into place


4.Human Again

Can you play your part?
Did you come alive in the dark?
Did you say just a little bit more?

Where the Day-Glo ends
There's another one around the bend
Who you play just a little bit more

Breakneck, breakneck, it's plain to see
Your long legs are a fantasy
Your big old fish a fallacy
You had just a little bit more...

That seeds are for sowing
And the lights are low and nothing here
And time isn't moving
So the fast goes fast
And the slow goes slow
In the morning you will feel
Human again

Did you fill your glass?
Did you open up in the park?
Did you say just a little bit more?

Where the rainbow ends
There's another thrill another friend
Who can pay just a little bit more...

Upset, upset the harmony
Your wicked words are killing me
You're pulling every part of me
Just a little bit more

But weeds are for hoeing
And the sights are low and nothing here
and time isn't moving
So the fast goes fast
And the slow goes slow
In the morning you will feel
Human again

Can you play your part?
Did you come alive in the dark?
Did you say just a little bit more?
Where the rainbow ends,
There's another thrill another friend
Who can pay just a little bit more

You're killing every part of me
You're killing every part of me

So the fast goes fast
And the slow goes slow
In the morning you will feel
Human again

Grips may slip
And your bridges may bough
In the morning you will feel
Human again

Throw your bones up against the wall
In the morning you will feel
Human again

Lose yourself
In the eye of the storm
In the morning you will feel
Human again
Human again


5.Running From A Standing Start

There's a new dance
Called the sway-low
You can do it
How you please

Lunchtime Lucy
Likes to watch me
Do the coochie
On my knees

I took one more second look
But there are too many lights today
And the wonder children
Are running from a standing start
Trying to get to the line

Savage forces
Swell inside me
Oscillating my machine
While we're dancing
Serves are forming
Over shadow, over me

I took one more second look
But there are too many lights today
And the wonder children
Are running from a standing start
Trying to get to the line

I took one more second look
But there are too many lives to save
And the wonder children
Are running from a standing start
Trying to get to the line

Nature, nurture
Butcher, Soldier
Little monsters
In my night chart
Precious cargo
Eat your greens

I took one more second look
But there are too many lights today
And the wonder children
Are running from a standing start
Trying to get to the line
Trying to get to the line
Trying to get to the line


6.Sister Frideswide

Dear, Sister Frideswide
She's got some problems
Dear, Sister Frideswide
She fell in love with
The boys from the town
The boys from the town
The boys from the town

They keep calling
Dear, Sister Frideswide
She tries to ignore them
But they make her feel wanted
And she's torn between them and
The voice from the clouds
The voice from the clouds
The voice from the clouds

It's a calling
It's a calling

And she knows she should not be lonely
But she's lonely
Oh, yes she is
And she knows that he'll always be there
Oh he'll be there
When she gets down on her knees

Dear, Sister Frideswide
She's got some yearning
Dear, Sister Fridewide
And it's burning a hole
In the back of her mind
The back of her mind
The back of her mind
In the back of her mind
Keep it deep down inside
In the back of your mind
They keep calling

Oh...

And she knows she should not be lonely
But she's lonely
Oh, yes she is
And she knows that he'll always be there
Oh he'll be there
When she gets down on her knees

Oh...

Keep calling
Calling, calling, calling
In the back of her mind
In the back of her mind
In the back of her mind

It's still burning, burning
Sister Fridewide, Frideswide, Frideswide
She's been yearning
They keep calling

Oh...Sister Frideswide


7.Vision In Rags

Sun, bleeding through the porridge sky
Dreaming through the morning window
Slicing at my kitchen eyes
Bring me to the world again

Cold, chipping at my waste of mind
Ruining my concentration
Strangling my piece of time
You knock me to the earth again

Rhymes, banging at my backing track
Crunching on my front room driveway
Twitching at the gravel blinds
You're spitting at my door again

Call off the rest of the years
I've got nothing to say
So I'll say nothing here
You're happy with mud everywhere you look
You're a vision in rags

Sun, slip into my bedroom wine
Crash into my evening window
Drifting over drowsy skies
Get me to the sheets on time

Call off the rest of the years
I've got nothing to say
So I'll say nothing here
You're happy with mud everywhere you look
You're a vision in rags

Sleep on the lip
Down every drop
Dance on the
Dance on the old table
Say no more
Say no more
Say no more


Call off the rest of the years
I've got nothing to say
So I'll say nothing here
You're happy with mud everywhere you look
You're a vision in rags
Call off the...
Call of the...
Years, years, years, years, years.


8.Go To Ground

The lips you kiss
As sharp as glass
They bring a tear
So swallow back until
Your features dissapear
And what do you get
Well what you'll get
Are cauliflower ears
And scars

And if we don't go to ground
Together we may drown

I hadn't noticed
But you need a lick of paint
You're lost a tarnish by the storm
Your colour fades
And everyone knows
That nobody wins a stalemate
So press pause
Press pause

And if we don't go to ground
Together we may drown

And if we don't go to ground
Together we may drown
