Jane She Got Excavated Lyrics

Jane she got excavated
By a trader dealing in old lines
Then she got a paper
From a mailer telling her more lies

Chorus (sing first half on first chorus):
So here we go
Down an endless road where we know
Nothing good here will ever grow
We're wasting our own time
And better know
Everyday life will carry on
Everyday when you're not so strong
You're wasting your own time

Says she knows more than she lets on
That's how she gets on when she is outside
When the wind comes on harder
She needs a shelter of their warm lies

Repeat chorus

She was taken last Sunday
To a safe place dealing in this line
Then she got her papers
From a faceless who won't tell her one more time

July Lyrics

It's warm outside
But I can hear the snow
Falling on my window
I had to go away
To somewhere deeper down
I know it's my mistake
To take off out of this town
And June becomes July

This road's on fire
And my train's running slow
It rains against my window
I had to get away
To somewhere no-one knows
I know it's my mistake
To take off now in this way
And June becomes July

The air is thin
When you're above the clouds
I see them from my window
It's strange to get away now
To somewhere no-one goes
I know it's my mistake
But I don't even know now
And June becomes July
And June becomes July

Justine Lyrics

You keep your pretty girls
Chained inside the dungeon
And diamonds and pearls
You keep them a'coming
Give them all of your affection

You keep your naughty boys
Locked inside the kitchen
And when they make a noise
A swish of your hand keeps them
Screaming out for your affection

I don't know the why's or wherefores
I don't what's wrong or right
I just know at night
You give them all of your affection

You keep your servants down
Swinging from the gallows
And when they come round
Oh you smile and you say hello
Give them all of your affection
You give them all of your affection
You give them all of your affection

Lining Your Pockets Lyrics

Well hello my old friend
You know I've been away
I'm not asking for much
But please remember my name

You've been lining your pockets
For no other reason
Than to buy up the things
That I gave without reasonable pay
Well I wondered through fortune
And I flirted with fame
But we never got the money
We always gave it away

Old benchmark on the park
He got lost on the world
But he doesn't seem
To know about any of it at all
He said - all the things that I wanted
You know I had to pay and pay
And so I say

Make The Deal Lyrics

Time after time you told me it was the truth

Time after time you lied to me through your tooth

How can you sing when everyone writes your song

You think you pull the strings and I get strung along



Ba, ba, ba, ba



So cry, won't you cry

You should have saved that for youth

And does it elevate the stakes

When you try to find the truth



In the real world they make real deals

And it hurts your cause and it clips your heels

And I would not hesitate

To say that I will not be here again

In the real world



It's not my way to slap you in the face

When it seems your way to spell dis with a grace

Where are your friends theyr'll moving on

Why do you get paid when everyone writes your song



In the real world but you make the deals

And it hurts some more till you just can't feel

And I would not hesitate

To say that I will not be here again

Save the real world for the suits in the cells

Who only think they're free when freedom sells

And I would not hesitate

To say that I will not be here again

In the real world

Mechanical Wonder Lyrics

The mechanical wonder is
It's just a noise in my room
And i'm chasing the wonder and
It's just a hole in my tune

And the radio plays but it
But it don't sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is
What is all going wrong

And i walk down the road and i
I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is
It's just a noise in my room

And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So i'll walk with you
Where the locks take flight

Oh machines make our lives today
And i like them the best
But the mechanical thunder is
It's just a noise in my head

And the radio plays at me
But it don't sing a song
But the mechanical wonder is
How it's all going wrong

And they rode it once (

Meet On The Ledge-originally by Fairport Convention Lyrics

We used to say

That come the day

When we'd all be making songs

Or finding better words

These ideas never lasted long



The way is up

Along the road

The air is growing thin

Too many friends who tried

Were blown off this mountain with the wind



Meet on the ledge

We're gonna meet on the ledge

When your time is up you're gonna meet all your friends

Meet on the ledge

We're gonna meet on the ledge

If you really mean it, it all comes round again



So here I sit

I'm all alone

But that's the only way to be

You'll have your chance again

Then you can do the work for me

Mona Lisa Eyes-Sway (re-issue) b-side Lyrics

I've got Mona Lisa eyes

I can stare through all your lies



Maybe they will come tomorrow (x3)

But it's only another day away



Look down on everything in sight

Look down on everything and say goodbye

And it's only another day away



I've got Mona Lisa Eyes (x3)

And it's only another day away

Day away...

Mrs Jones Lyrics

What are you gonna do today Mrs Jones
Are you gonna chase the pain away Mrs Jones
Or leave it sitting there waiting outside your door
Hoping to find the things you hoped would tell you more
About the dreams that seem to slip away

What are you gonna do today Mrs Jones
Are you going to face the bills to pay Mrs Jones
Or leave them sitting there waiting outside your door
Hoping to find the things you hoped would tell you more
About the dreams that seem to slip away

It's not as if Mr Jones could help in anyway
It's not as if Mr Jones the bills that he could pay

(Repeat first verse)

My Brother Sarah-Sway (re-issue) b-side Lyrics

My brother Sarah

Doesn't know what clothes to wear

It's a dilemma

To get the stuff to match your hair



But mother and father

Sister and brother

Say they just don't know



My brother Sarah

Really wish you understood

Why he's got to show it

For it to be any damn good



But mother and father

Sister and brother

Say they just don't know



My brother lies awake at night

Wishing this world could just be right



But mother and father

Sister and brother

You and all the others

Say you just don't know
