I love, I love, I really love my brother
it’s a shame
I know, I know, I really need my brother
at least today
and even though he likes to take my lovers
(to:) Shane..
And even though I know I owe him everything I am
To: Shane
I know, I know, I took my girl for granted, Ah……
I believed, I believed, she’d run away with the bandit, Over me
And even though I caught’em both redhanded, I concede, O….
And even though I know I owe him everything I am
Shane, (etc.)
To: Shane
To: Shane
Now I know, I know I’d better love my brother
Because someday soon I might take a new lover
And I don’t think I’d like to share her with my brother.
Ahh…….

either go straight back or follow me through
as in the stories that lead me to you
I try to ignore them, but I need to hold on
over and under, alone in your bed
untied in my black dreams, undressed in your head
and you leave me forever (with a) compass, (in) a storm, O….
you emerge from the dark…
I’m afraid we don’t have much more time
I’m afraid we don’t have much more time
even if you’re only in my mind, O….
secret relations go down in the night
taboo in the open, the absence of light
you emerge from the dark…
I’m afraid we don’t have much more time
I’m afraid we don’t have much more time
even if you’re only in my mind…
you emerge from the dark…
even if you’re only in my mind…
ohh… ohh… ohh…

It Swell

I believe I could get you to call me
just by lettin it swell
I believe I could get you to need me
just by lettin it grow
Doo…..doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, dooooooo
You are built to distract eyes from what they really want to choose
While you paint jokes and heartache for boys in alleyways and mews
No one should be helping you make feet for running shoes
And no one wasting minutes in your glow is ever safe from you
And I believe I could get you to call me
Just by lettin it swell
And I believe I could get you to need me
Just by lettin it grow
Doo…..doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, dooooooo
Doo…..doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, dooooooo
Really broken hearts know what it feels like to give in
And barely spoken words are just as dangerous on a whim
(now) I know I gave you everything you ever dreamed of love
‘Cause there were greasy, telling fingerprints of heartblood on the gun,
that you left behind at the scenes of crimes we all knew that you’d done
I believe I could get you to call me
just by lettin it swell
I believe I could get you to need me
just by lettin it grow
I BELIEVE I could get you to want me
Just by lettin’ it swell
I believe… I believe…
I could get you… Again…
Doo…..doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, dooooooo
Doo…..doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, dooooooo
Doo…..doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, dooooooo
Doo…..doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, dooooooo
Do.

I would not sign up for therapy
And I am not as crazy as you needed me to be
So I
I think we did the right thing
I think we did the right thing, yeah, yeah
I think we did the right thing in breakin up
i try to be your friend but you’re not ready
you said neither am I…
Ooh, but when I saw you out the other night
I coulda jumped your bones
(and) I remember all the stones
I hucked through your paper thin windows
And I
I think we did the right thing
I think we did the right thing, yeah, yeah
I think we did the right thing in breakin up
Ohh……..
These images at night, I cannot bear
A mask over my eyes, but you’re still there
Looking at some new man the way you used to look at me
Before I lost your love
Before I lost your love, so now I just…
I think we did the right thing
I think we did the right thing, yeah, yeah
I think we did the right thing, I think we did the right thing
I think we did the right thing…….

unseasonable borealis
earth’s children return to the forest
someday in your sleep you will destroy us
ohh…
long lashes of hued radiation
deep down we all know where we came from
someday you will swallow all my oceans
at dawn, delivered from your bosom
wake child, see what you been missing,
they’ve got low light, strung up for the kissing
you reveal yourself to me, I’ll reveal myself to you
You got many ribbons and me, my seven oceans
someday in your sleep you will destroy us
someday you will swallow all my oceans
ohh…
ohh…
ohhhhhh……..

At The Mermaid Parade
At the mermaid parade
Saw you looking away
With a wide smile
I said goodbye
I said so long
Underneath the Cyclone
Living like a jewel
What you want is what you need
My siren song
What you want
Kicking into the waves
With the last children
I found my way
To a rogue horizon
I found my bone
Underneath the Cyclone
In a Sinbad print
I make a few wishes on it
What you want is what you need
My siren song
What you want
What you want is what you need
A big tub can’t stop the bleed
Of what you need

St Martin
Hey
I’m going to bring it out
And lay it on the street
‘Cause I can’t hide it
Hey
Green is your name
The shoals passing
I remember them, and
St Martin
When he’s carried out
And the bells are turning
And the drums are loud
And the petals fall
And the people cry
As he’s hoisted up
Against the sky
Wrapped up in your arms
Until the beams
Of the roof that you built
Stalled
In the middle of the sea
With daggers falling
And crimson near, and
St Martin
When he’s carried
And the bells are turning
And the drums are loud
And the petals fall
And the people cry
As he’s hoisted up
Under the sky
Hey
Thursday is your name
The rough roads through the almond trees
I remember them, and
St Martin
Underneath the sky
And the people fall
And the people cry
And the bells are turning
And the drums are loud
As he’s hoisted up
Covered in flowers

Old Friend

You came into the room
Your friends were there
We're all still there
We hear you on the radio
The television and the stereo
We see your picture
We hear your voice
Your filmed mannerisms
And your jokes
Old friend
Where have you been?
I've been crying for so long
Where have you been?
Where in the night?
In the gloaming, in the twilight
Out in the pasture, at dusk
Old friend
I miss you so much

Oh the tyrants and the slain
Tried to remember them by name
When my memory could no longer blur
I fell in love with the world
Dark morning, violet light
Distilling into black
When the night could no longer turn
I fell in love with the world
I fell in love with the world that you loved when you walked me through it.

There You Go
06:54

There you go, now
Swinging down the boulevard
A miracle that’s what you are
All night, I’ve been watching you breath
And it’s hard to conceive of anything making me feel glader
There you go
Falling on your feet
Shake yourself, make yourself reinstate the wall
My, oh, my, now
Everybody wants to know
What is it that kicks up in your throes
Okay, well I know the charade
You’ve got every mistake a girl could ever want to make and maybe more
Okay
I know you hear me
Gracious Mary
‘Cause I held out my hand
And you gave it to me
Oh, on a plate
All I could take
I can take more of that
Now you just go and bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back
feel your face
And you reassure me
That it can wait
All the time it takes
I can take more of that
Now you just go and bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back
‘Cause all in all
I love you nearly
I love you now
All in all
All things said and done
I love you darling
Is that enough
Precious Mary
Queen of glory
I feel your face
And you reassure me
That it can wait
All the time it takes
I can take more of that
Now you just go, bring it
‘Cause I don’t have
The sophistication
Of witty monologue
I don’t have words that dazzle
Flipping forward from my tongue
But all in all
I love you darling
Is that enough?
Can you take it
Undefined devotion
Handed to you in the rough
There you go now
There you go
There you go
Down the boulevard
The avenue
The railtrack
The runway
The white lines
Those white lines
I turned
I don’t know why I did it but I did
I don’t know why I did it but I did
I turned
Now I must return
To the underworld
I turned
There you go, now
Swinging down the boulevard
A miracle that’s what you are
I was a free man
