The Loser Wins

Will you walk with me sometime?
In the heady morning soft light
Down the avenues of old where
We can find ourselves somewhere
Somewhere in you
Somewhere in you
Will you lie with me some day?
In the warmth of the summer rain
Where the silent animal in me
Speaks itself to you
Somewhere in you
Where the heart pulls out in cool refrain
And the head gets stuck though we remain
While reason comes to stop us there
In all the glory just beware
Where the loser always wins
Will you talk with me inside?
Down the straight to the crooked line
In the smoke and the purple air
Where we find ourselves somewhere
Somewhere in you
Somewhere in you
Where the heart pulls out in cool refrain
And the head gets stuck though we remain
While reason comes to stop us there
In all the glory just beware
Where the loser always wins
Iʼm somewhere in you
Lost out of view
On the outside of love
Iʼm on the outside of love
Yet I feel

Fig Tree
I will plant myself a fig tree
Pour water there for she
I will summon some sun, some far off sun for she
I will seek pleasure there freely
Lie down there beside she
I will summon some sun some far off sun for she
Canʼt you see how my fig tree knows?
And canʼt you feel how my fig tree grows?
I will find my place stay the while I touch her face
Release my tie, my lucky sigh, undo my boot lace
Canʼt you see how my fig tree knows?
And canʼt you feel how my fig tree grows?

Dead Manʼs Game
These stars align
One like voodoo
A sudden thrill
Coming from you
You have what it takes
Hot white moon
Shines above you
Heaven knows
What a man should do
You, you're a dead man's game
Come the day
Come the night
Come the time
He will put it right
You, you could bury him alive
You a dead manʼs game
Heʼs living but all the same
Put his mind at ease
Please
One man down
One man free
One man will cool his heart
To breathe
You, in the end you'll see
Seize the day
Another land
Goodness knows what
Sense he had
You, you'd bury him alive
You a dead manʼs game
Heʼs living but all the same
Put his mind at ease
Please

Emperor You Fool
02:55

Here is your empire
Here are your rules
Here is your halo
Empire you fool
And here is love, here is pain, here desire, here your shame
Now he comes, like a child, without fear, without blame.
Here is your window
Here is the view
See the man is running
What light do you do?
What will you do when he comes, under fire, under sun?
Will you love, will you hold, will you fight one on one?
See the man is running
As you call him a fool
But Emperor whose the fool?

Cruel Kind Of Love
03:54

Hey whatʼs this change?
These feelings
Donʼt feel the same
Your eye
What does it see?
Your voice
What's it doing to me?
And oh whatʼs this love, this cruel kind of love?
Oh what a love...
Oh this fervour
It comes today at any age
Like the days
I used to know
It pulls me in
And won't let go
And oh whatʼs this love, this cruel kind of love?
Oh what a love.
You upon my skin
You took my place
And did me in
No shade of grey
Just black or white
Your magic eye all through the night
And oh whatʼs this love, this cruel kind of love?
Oh what a love.

Pretty Lady

Wonʼt you let it be, just you let it be
Pretty lady let it be
Wonʼt you let it be, just you let it be
Pretty lady let it be
Hey pretty lady let it be
The mountain that we climb is no longer standing
The butterfly in you gone from this air
Your purple falling dress is no longer falling
As is the colour of your golden hair
Wonʼt you let it be, just you let it be
Pretty lady let it be
The music in the street is no longer playing
Your tender voice gone from my ear
The power of your charm is no longer pulling
Your lips to mine
As the sun drew near
I wanted you etc

Hollywood Burns
03:23
|
|||
|
The trees bend down
Her nerves are hit
A movie scene
In her mind is lit
A pilot's wife
A record player
Another man
Inside her prayer
As midnight strikes
Something looms
On her drunken bed
In her hotel room
But look at him
Look at him
Standing at the window
As the world goes by
While Hollywood burns etc etc
Now she smokes
Hair undone
Feet and toes
In comes sun
Like her skin
Too hot to touch
Stay away
Stay away
Then she speaks
Eyes no words
Left to right
Nothing heard
Oh look at her
Look at her
Driving down the freeway
As the world goes by
As Hollywood etc.

Dark Green Blue
03:19
|

|
I thought you would release me
As I released you
When all this talk of love
Came untrue
And I thought it would feed me
As it fed you
All this shade of love
Dark green blue
So now I go alone But I donʼt go alone
I thought it would save you
As it saved me
No more spoils of war
No more to be
Just like I told you
Time again T
hereʼs no good in hate
Not now not then
So now I go alone
But I donʼt go alone
Now I go alone I donʼt go alone
Though I go alone I donʼt go alone
When you came to me
Trouble unsaid
Mother had done her work
Father was dead
No one said it would be easy
No said it had to be true
But along the way
I heard those dark green blues

Natasha
03:46
|

|
In the silky hour
Beyond the crowd
In the light of no light
On the edge of town
She came to me
Raised her head
To clouds that crack
And softly said
That her love was dead, her love was dead, her love was dead
But what does that mean to, what does that mean to you?
Now to the street
In Winter's
A dusky trail
Her lamp black hair
She spoke again
Her father's shame
A psycho man
Her loss
His gain
But his love was dead, his love was dead, his love was dead
But what does that mean to, what does that mean to you?
Oh Natasha you have paid the price youʼve paid it once youʼll pay it twice
Go now where your heart will show
Youʼve lived your life in half lit light, in wonderland, the endless night
Go now where you need to go
Then on the wall
Her name in red
I saw it there
I heard it said
She lived to die
And died to live
For one to love
Her love to give
But their love was dead, their love was dead, her love was dead
Oh Natasha you have paid the price youʼve paid it once youʼll pay it twice
Go now where your heart will show
Youʼve lived your life in half lit light, in wonderland, the endless night
Go now where you need to go
Oh Natascha

I had one eye on the prize
The other in the dirt
My third eye was itchy
My fourth on high alert
Now I know
Now I know
Where I belong
There were people all around me
Who didn't know my name
Alien people
But I loved them all the same
Now I know etc
