NEEDLE AND THE DAMAGE DONE 

I caught you knocking
at my cellar door
I love you, baby
can I have some more

Ooh, ooh, the damage done

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man

Gone, gone, the damage done

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand

Milk-blood to keep from running out

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it
in everyone

Every junkie's like a setting sun

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it
in everyone

Every junkie's like a setting sun

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT 

My darling, I loved you
I long to become you
And know what it is that you gave

We dance the sorrow
Forgive me tomorrow
And I pray night after night and day after day
Would you watch my body weaken
And my mind drift away?

Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away

You were my speaker, my innocence-keeper
I don't night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken,
My mind drift away?

Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage

Oh I should just leave you, instead I've deceived you
But I don't
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken and mind drift away?

I count no one, hold nobody's ear
I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear
I don't stand for the devil
I don't whisper in ears
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear

Sudden bursts of light, it's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing

He longs for the answers, as all of us must
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
He screams in the night, I scream in the day
He weeps in the evening and lies naked and prays

Night after night, day after day
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken and my mind drift away?

It's a tempting communion
It's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
What it is that you're told

NIGHT TERROR 

I woke up and he was screaming, I'd left him dreaming
I roll over and shake him tightly and whisper
If they want you, oh, they're gonna have to fight me
Oh, fight me

I woke up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green
Oh, a candle at my chest and a hand on his knee
I got up it was dark, there's no one in the park at this hour
How do I keep finding myself here?
Oh, fight me

If I look back and he is screaming, I'd left him dreaming
The dangers fade
And I'll run back and shake him tightly and scream
If they want him, oh, they're gonna have to fight me
Oh, fight me

But if I wake up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green
Oh, a candle at my chest and a hand on his knee
I'll roll over and hold him tightly and scream
If you want him, oh, you're gonna have to fight me
Oh, fight me

Don't fight me

PRAY FOR ME 

Where does my lover lie? I don't love I just lie.
Pray, Pray for me.
And where you run I run in toe,
And where you're from I long to know.

How does a child know, where mother weakness goes?
And where? And where the trouble grows?
We'll you will speak, and it shall be sown.
And what you say will be all I know?

There was a time of weeks, I thought dogs barked at me.
And I, and I had lost my mind.
And the devil had put his mark on me,
and called his branches shake the trees?
That wasn't me for my trying, that was the devil and his lying.
Trying to make me loose his mind.

Pray, Pray for me.

So you got my letter late, from when where I permanently etched my name.
Write, Oh write into your soul.

I cannot love I want to be alone,
I will not love I want to be alone.
That's not love for its trying, that is god and his lying.
Trying to make me when I'm trying to be good.
Oh Pray, Pray for me.

And where you run I run in toe,
And where he's from I long to know?
And you shall speak and it shall be sown.
But I cannot love I want to be alone

RAMBLING MAN 

Oh na ve little me,
Asking what things you have seen,
And you're vulnerable in your head,
You'll scream and you'll wail 'till you're dead.

Creatures veiled by night,
Following things that aren't right,
And they're tired and they need to be led,
But you'll scream and wail 'till you're dead.

But give me to a rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am.

Beaten battered cold,
My children will live just to grow old,
But if I sit here and weep,
I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze,
And the weak need to be led,
And the tender are carried to their bed,
And It's a cold and pale affair,
And I'll be dammed if I'll be found there.

But give me to a rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am.

It's funny that the First chords that you come to,
Are the minor notes that come to serenade you,
And it's hard to accept yourself as someone, you don't desire,
As someone you don't want to be.

Oh give me to a rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am,
Oh give me to the rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am.

REST IN THE BED 

There lies a man of my heart
A fine and complete work of art
Here, I his woman, his home and his heart
And proud to be playing that part
And proud to be playing that part

Rest in the bed of my bones
All that I want is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live

The sirens come
Feel your call as a sound
As I believe in you

The first deal's the hardest, I'm sure
Where our shadows come to the shore
Know that it's you and I till the end
And all I want from life is to hold your hand

All that I have are these bones
And all that I want is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live

The sirens come, they always will
But the dart between my heart and his
Is as good as a diamond chain

All that I have are these bones
And all that I want is a home
And all you can do is promise me bold
That you won't let me grow dark or cold
As long as we both shall live

SALINAS 

I am from Salinas
where the women go forever,
and they never ever stop to ask why.
My mother was a saviour
of six foot of bad behaviour,
with long blonde curly hair down to her thigh.
Oh my mother!
Oh my friends!
Ask the angels
"Will I ever see heaven again"?

Late into the evening
they would take each other screaming,
looking darkly to the back of her eyes.
A careless beast was bleating
that the air behind was dreaming,
that they musn't ever look up to the sky.
There no answers.
There are found.
Ask the angels
"Am I heaven-bound"?

Mmmm put it down to me:
I, who speak awkwardly.
Any word if it is heard is not intended to be,
not for him, not for her
and not for them and not for me.
Oh and that gun will turn
before the sun starts to burn.
Understand!

Mmmm when the clouds roll in
and we start paying for our sins,
with a gun in my hand
and the son at my shoulder,
believe I will run
before that boy gets older.
Oh and that gun will turn
before the sun starts to burn.
Understand!
O and that gun will turn
before the sun starts to burn.
Understand!

I am from Salinas
where the women go forever,
and they never ever stop to ask why.
My mother she's a saviour
of six foot of bad behaviour,
with long blonde curly hair down to her thigh.
Oh my mother!
Oh my friends!
Ask the angels
"Will I ever see heaven again"?
"Will I ever see heaven again"?
"Will I ever see heaven again"?

Punish them all for they speak too much.
Hate the world what it did to us.
Will I ever see heaven again?

SHE'S CHANGED 

The future looks dark
But we're on the way up
Oh I hear that tomorrow's bright

Can you believe
That when we were fifteen
We got drinking
And would stay out all night

The gift and a curse
So she grew a thirst
To know what a waste of her life
Dropped out of school
'Cause she's too cool
Now sleeps with men of the night

Word of warning goes to you my man
I hope you understand
That when she grabs you by the hand
She needs security
It's hard to comprehend
When she isn't your friend
It's not nice to see

Maybe you won't get your heartbroken too
'Cause she's changed, yeah she's changed
No I'm just joking, she's still the same
So why do you bother, I ask myself

She was so young
And so far gone
And he was your average man
She never liked to stay
With one person for too long
And she never liked to keep a plan

She couldn't keep her concentration
She'll never have much to say
She found a perfect occupation
If you want her
You're gonna have to pay

Word of warning goes to you my man
I hope you understand
That when she grabs you by the hand
She needs security
It's hard to comprehend
When she isn't your friend
It's not nice to see

Maybe you won't get your heartbroken too
'Cause she's changed, yeah she's changed
No I'm just joking, she's still the same
Why do you get bothered, I ask myself

Wear your short skirt out tonight
And?
You laugh so much, it makes you different inside
Your heels are different from any size
Make eyes at the fit one looking at you
Don't let on, you've got a boyfriend or two
That's just a rubbish by?
There the new liberty slightly such as

A word of warning goes to you my man
I hope you understand
That when she crabs you by the hand
She needs security
It's hard to comprehend
When she isn't your friend
It's not nice to see

Maybe you won't get your heartbroken too
'Cause she's changed, yeah she's changed
No I'm just joking, she's still the same
So why do you bother, I ask myselfOfficial lyrics powered by

SHINE 

I have traveled past your window many times
I find your face too hard to define
I can touch you, hollow thing, you plague my mind
I can never go outside
I will never go back to being blind

I have wondered what you're doing
Everyday since last I asked
Are your cheeks hollow?
I don't like your eyes dark

I need shine, I need shine, I need shine
Step away from my light, I need shine

I am honest, no, not a shouter
I am reformed, reborn, and forgiven
And you've been busy but you've missed me
And I've plagued your mind
You will never go outside
You will never go back to being blind

I need shine, I need shine, I need shine
Step away from my light, I need shine
I need shine, I need shine, I need shine
Step away from my light, I need shine

SOPHIA 

Oh I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired I?

I'm wounded by dust
All I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired I?

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare
Sometimes they look and I don't care
Rarely I weep, sometimes I must
I'm wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman that? but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia
I'm wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman that? but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia
I'm wounded by dust
Now Sophia
