What I Am
02:41

|
There's an ocean liner
In the heart of town
If it blocks my way
I'll form a path around
When the baby's crying
Take your cue from me
Leave it there 'a lying
And come on across to me
When a tall tree falling
Down on me and you
If the future's burning
I'm shootin' through
If you heart is aching
I don't want to know
Don't just sit there crying
Get on home
And when I'm out drinking
I don't need no-one
Telling me their stories
About the deeds they've done
And if you hear me singing
And you feel some shame
Then you can blame the maker
Who made me what I am

Travelling North
06:15

You won't find love in the north
You can keep traveling, leave me with this torch
That's still burning
Bodies make love, minds make grace
And if you've been feeling like you're out of place
I'm alone here
You will find comfort in knowing your name
And I'll find my way
There may be a heaven, no two roads the same
Just the two roads to blame
Two heads; they're better than one
Even though great minds don't think quite the same
Hearts don't falter
Somehow you don't look the same
Unkempt and sickly, and a bottle of gin
Are you fallen?

I Know A Man
02:51
|
|||
|
He falls face down
The four winds frown
You scatter misery seeds
Where is hope, now the lifelines he'd clung on to
Have been pulled to
Hopelessness
And an empty bed by a window...curtains spread
In an old home across the road dwells no-one
...but in days gone
I know a man who would shatter
If you told him
It's worth no more than this
Hard time clown
Don't make no sound
Just weathers the pouring rain
On the off chance that you'll come around
To stitch him back together

C'mon Pretty Anna
03:43
|
|||
|
Lakes and pools well up in your eyes
Hell and fear find you where you hide
C'mon, pretty Anna
We don't need to fight
The pot's on the boil
Now, keep your head right
You left me alone in my skin
Stinging eyes and sweat soaked in gin
C'mon pretty Anna
Now don't lose your head
And don't walk away now
You'll find yourself dead
Don't walk on through the night
Send in the lions
There'll be words to tear tonight
Send in the miners
There'll be coal to dig come morning light
Ten years on, I write from my cell
Jailed for loving harder than hell

When the spirit dies young you become an opportunist
When the spirit dies young you find driftwood to cling to
Though you try and you try to find a meaning
In the soil, in the air that you've been breathing
In the eyes of those you know
There was love and now they're cast in stone
There's no meaning
When the spirit dies young
When the cavalry comes there is no place to run to
When the cavalry comes there is no one to turn to
Though you try and you try to find a meaning
In the dark gritty soil that you've been digging
In the eyes of those you know
There was love and now they're cast in stone
There's no meaning
When the spirit dies young
No you can't ignore
What you felt before
Who you are
Or where you have been
