THE BEAST 

Where did our love go, you will never know
How did you get home, you will never know
Did you catch yourself in the mirror?
It's a sight I understand
You considered it all for a second
And put it down to slight of hand

You know I've been running 'round for hours
Calling my egyptian(?) blood to bear me flowers
Calling sophia, goddess of power

Instead I got the beast
And tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes to beast

You're okay now, I suppose
You're not pulled by the rope
I'm pulled by the pull on my throat
I'm pulled by the rope
I swing from the trees into the slope
Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes
And he lies, he lies so sweet that I choke
Tonight I choose the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast

Put your eyes away
If you can't bear to see your (the?) old lady
Laying down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast

Look at yourself in the mirror
It's a sight I understand
You consider it all for a second
And put it down to slight of hand
I give you the best, the best that I can

I suggest that you be grateful
That it's your blood on my hands?
And assume yourself weaker, the fall of man (?)
And look out for the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast

Put your eyes away
If you can't bear to see your (the?) old lady
Laying down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast

THE CAPTAIN AND HOURGLASS 

<You kicked the blow,
now you've got to kick the guy.
You sat alone,
under bellowing sky.
If I feel God judging me,
I fell into the water,
And now I'm free.

My friends they don't really get me,
think I'm the only one.
Well I sold my soul to Jesus,
and since then I've had no fun.
Behind every tree is a cutting machine,
and a kite fallen from grace,
Inside every man is a heart of sand,
you can see it in his face.

And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

The wind and I we speak the same but he don't hear so well,
If you gonna have to curse him,
well you're gonna have to yell.
And the sky and I we've had our fights but I'm coming round to rain,
If the rain come out,
and I don't go out,
I don't ever have to speak again.

I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

The captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the door,
Leaving his lady alone thinking,
'He don't love me no more.'
He's done with all his bullshit,
he's going back to war,
If heaven is as heaven does,
then this is hell for sure

And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away,
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

You kicked the blow,
now you've got to kick the guy.
You sat alone,
under bellowing sky.
If I feel God judging me,
I fell into the water,
And now I'm free.>

THE MUSE 

God's work is planned.
I stand here with a man that talked to me so candidly,
more than I'd choose.

My lips once rouged,
I feel again the blues of longing, ever longing, to be
confused.

He wrote me a letter,
saying he would love me better.
Then my poor sons begetter the rules.

Spoke of love like hunger;
he at once was younger. Younger, ever younger, in my
hunger for a muse.

Finest man that I've seen ever since my eyes have been,
but his honesty did gleam me blind.

Keep those thoughts from sight.
Follow me into the night.
You can call on me when you need the light.

You know what I need.
Why won't you give it me?
Must I fall down at your feet and plead?

Don't you be scared of me.
I'm nothing but the beast.
And I'll call on you when I need to feast.

TYPICAL 

Again I let jealousy blind me today.
My oldest friend and I blew her away.
Just a few kind words and all I could say was I've known you of ten years it feels like a day.
And oh I watched her cry, torn apart at the hands of a child.
And again I used arrogance as something to depend
and condemned all religion to pitiless end.
And a politician's resonance rang through my mind.
Patriotic in one sense the other just blind.
Oh so many died, torn apart at the hands of a child

And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose.
I gave up morals when I took up you
and it's boring to hear of another young truth
and what typically shit thing to do.

I was so shallow to the one man'd stuck around
sunk so low that I nearly drowned
and I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around
Consoled him recklessly, I knew you were down.
Oh I watched him cry, a broken heart at the hands of a child.

And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up you
and its boring to hear, of another young truth
and what a typically shit thing to do.

I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like.
I have felt heartbreak now you can leave me alone right.
I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like.

But I kept on going I had nothing to lose,
and I gave up morals when I took up booze.
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
and what a typically shit thing to do.

WHAT HE WROTE 

Forgive me, Hera, I cannot stay.
He cut out my tongue,
there is nothing to say.

Love me, oh Lord,
he threw me away.
He laughed at my sins,
in his arms I must stay.

He wrote,
I am broke,
please send for me.
But I am broken too,
and spoken for,
do not tempt me.

Her skin is white,
and I'm light as the sun,
so holy light shines on the things you have done.
So I asked him how he became this man,
how did he learn to hold fruit in his hands,
and where is the lamb that gave you your name,
he had to leave though I begged him to stay

Left me alone when I needed the light,
fell to my knees and I wept for my life.
If he had of stayed you might understand,
If he had of stayed you never would have taken my hand.

He wrote,
oh love, please send for me,
but I am broken too,
and spoken for,
do not tempt me.
And where is the lamb that gave you your name,
He had to leave though I begged him to stay.

Begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip,
begged him to stay by the light of this ship.
Me fighting him, fighting like fighting dawn,
and the waves came and stole him and took him to war.

He wrote,
I'm broke,
please send for me.
But I'm broken too,
and spoken for,
do not tempt me.

Forgive me here, I cannot stay,
cut out my tongue,
there is nothing to save.
Love me, oh Lord, he threw me away,
he laughed at my sins,
in his arms I must say.

We write,
that's alright,
I miss his smell.
We speak when spoken to,
and that suits us well

That suits us well.
That suits me well.

YOUNG LOVE 

If I only knew your name I'd go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets for the face that I
once saw
If I only knew your name I'd go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl I met just once before?

One night of love,
Nothing more, nothing less
One night of love,
To put my head in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand but it came off in the
rain.

One night of love,
Nothing more, nothing less
One night of love,
Has left my bed in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand but it came off in the
rain.

If I only knew your name I'd go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets for the face that I
once saw
If I only knew your name I'd go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl I met just once before

whoah whoah whoah oooh.

Young love never seems to last
Far too young until they have a past
Playing games,
People move so fast
You don't need eyes to see
If someones got a heart of glass

Young love never seems to last
Far too young until they have a past
One night of love, nothing more, nothing less
One night of love
That left my heart in a mess

If I only knew your name I'd go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets for the face that I
once saw
If I only knew your name I'd go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the boy I met just once before?

whoah whoah whoah oooh.
