FOREVER’S UNTRUE
Enter the man again, his memory shaking
A new age is waiting in the wings, a bright light is breaking
As he prays without believing in no more than breathing –
Forever’s untrue
Well the night may be over, but its out with the old today and in with the new
A woman is kneeling by his side a candle is burning
There’s no more she can do, this chapter is turning
As she prays for forgiveness, where there’s forgiveness
Forever’s untrue Well the night may be over, but its out with the old today and in with the new
A siren is flashing outside, it’s blue light is spinning
People are gathered inside, some of them singing
And they all stand together, one night they stand together Forever’s untrue Well the night may be over, but its out with the old today and in with the new
Forever’s untrue.

TOUGH GUYS
My free hand is shaky, the other is turning to lead
The streets they are empty but my wounds are beginning to mend As I lie down alone instead
And I hold her, in the arms of my head
And I hold her, in the arms of my head
Tough guys they are laughing but then again so am I
I’ve seen the light through a chink in the wall,
I’ve heard the voice in the night
As I lie down alone instead
And I hold her, in the arms of my head
And I hold her, in the arms of my head
Tough guys they are calling me from the other side of the tracks They’ve a message for me as they whisper in my ears They’ve a knife sticking in my back.

WHERE THE END BEGINS
Don’t you see, don’t you see, don’t you see?
Don’t you see, don’t you see, don’t you see?
This is where the end... begins
A vision of you on Primrose Hill
A flower in you hair
All about still
Just a picture of you
Way back when
A hole in the sky
Was a hole in I
Don’t you see, don’t you see, don’t you see?
Don’t you see, don’t you see, don’t you see?
This is where the end... begins
A fever in the heart on Ladbroke Grove
We’d forgotten the key
To the family home
Just another thing to right
In the oncoming night
A hole in the man
A hole in your plan
Don’t you see, don’t you see, don’t you see?
Don’t you see, don’t you see, don’t you see?
This is where the end... begins

SOMETHING LEFT TO REACH
He came down the mountain
With a beard to his knees
No one left beside him
But something left to reach
Something left to reach Is there something left to reach?
And he came to a house
He opened up the door
He saw himself kneeling
Kneeling with his face to the floor
Kneeling with his face to the floor I
s there something left to reach?
Is there someone left to?
Is there someone left to?
And he held his tongue
He never said what he should
He was born that way
He was born
Where he stood
With something left to reach...
Is there someone left to? Is there someone left to?

ALL THE LEAVES
Outside, outside, the temperature is rising
And the bird is learning how to swim.
And outside, outside, the sprinkler is sprinkling
Cold water over him...
While over here, over here
All the leaves are blowing through the door.
Outside, outside, the green is greener
And the dust is sparkling in the sun
While inside, inside I’ve been dreaming
Of how all this begun
While over here, over here
All the leaves are blowing through the door.

WILD FLOWERS
Suddenly in this field where wild flowers grow
Gently in the breeze their petals blow
With their colours in bloom around me
Like violins playing so sweetly
They show me something I‘m afraid to be true
Tell me darling do you see it too?
Well tell me darling can it be true?
All these flowers in bloom
Tell me darling can it be true?
All these flowers, they died with you.
Finally in this field I stand alone again
Alone like a child with hope again
And wild flowers in bloom remind me
Of a time I lost completely
They show me something I ‘m afraid to be true
Tell me darling do you see it too?
Well tell me darling can it be true?
All these flowers in bloom
Tell me darling can it be true?
All these flowers they died with you.

STRAW DOGS
Him - he’s going to raze this mountain to the ground he’ll tell you what he found his eyes looking down
Then he’s going to paint a flower in the dirt unbutton his shirt take off all his hurt
And in the morning sun, how he begun
He will turn away, he will turn away
Him - he’s going to trust that straw dog in the dust ignore him if you must that straw dog in the dust
See he has to dream, he has to dream to wake on a mountain by a lake,
a straw dog knows his fate
And in the morning sun how he begun He will turn away, he will turn away

URBAN SAND
In emptiness on urban sand the foreign voice of a trouble man speaks to me.
Now north of where his church had been
What he says could almost be... true, almost true
While round the corner west of him
The generals are in blood up to their knees “Its okay though” ... say their wives
They have air to breathe
Air to breathe, none to share Its almost, almost true
The doctor says his toxic tongue is coloured in the image of a dream, what a dream.
“So it is” then say I “See I’ve known him now all my life
And my dream, my dream is clean”
See round the corner west of me
The generals are in blood up to their knees “Its okay though” ... say their wives
They have air to breathe

TRIP THE WIRE
Here’s the church bell and the steeple
Here’s the government cheating all the people.
And here’s the mindful and the harmful
Here’s the preacher praying on the fearful
See him spin another trick
Will it last, hell will it stick?
Will he douse or light the fire Will he try to trip the wire?
Here he goes, here he goes
And see the human in his gold cage
See him fighting even in his old age.
Or the one who tried to do you
He’d try again if only he could do...
See him spin another trick
Will it last, hell will it stick?
Will he douse or light the fire Will he try to trip the wire?
