10 Years and 47 Minutes is enough time to say goodbye
I’m taking my hat off to you girl you know you did try
Bend like a willow you bend
Don’t take full force, you’ll suffer
So it goes round and round
Sturm and Drang
Up and down
In the life of we ordinary Kings.
Let us say goodbye without doing a disservice
Let us always remember the wonders we’ve become
Good endings they make for great beginnings
So it’s done.
There went my Tuesdays and Thursdays and every day in between.
Waiting for something a knock of the wall
Or a tap on the door or a jolt on the floor.
Bend, like a willow you bend
Don’t take full force you’ll suffer
So it goes round and round
Sturm and Drang
Up and down
In the life of we ordinary Kings
Let us say goodbye without doing a disservice
Let us always remember the wonders we’ve become
Good ending they make for great beginnings so it’s done.
Let us say goodbye without doing a disservice
Let us always remember the wonders we’ve become
Good ending they make for great beginnings so it’s done.

MISADVENTURE
If he was yelling on the inside then I wasn’t listening
I’ve never been too good at that so why should I start now
A teacher said I was shallow that I never looked below the surface
That I skimmed along the water and I never got wet.
Things are flying across the room
Something hit me in the eye
And I can’t decipher who
Is throwing them or why
Oh I can’t stand it ‘cause he’s hurting
Hurt by me the closest to him
Who is causing all the bruising and the screwing up in his life
And the dust from the demolition is settling in the cracks
And I know that’s something’s missing but I don’t want it back
And I am sorry that I let you down
He said I’m sorry that I made you my clown
He said I’m sorry that I did it all wrong
But I’m more ‘sorry’ that I had to write a song about it
Good morning Miss Adventure
Creation devastation
Oh this ugliness is growing and it’s not going anywhere
So you have to let it go now
‘Cause there is nothing you can do if whatever made me hollow
Scraped the brilliance out of you
I didn’t think that I would act
It was not by my volition
Something hit me and I fell
So I had to take you with me.
In and instant all had changed
What was sane here just turned deranged
What a lesson to be learned
If it’s the one you love that you can burn
I didn’t think that I would act
It was not by my volition
Something hit me and I fell
So I had to take you with me

MIDDLE OF THE MORNING
Middle of the Morning
Suffer Gladly
Slightly Madly
I was woken when I thought I couldn’t breath
Here the air is caressing
Liquid honey
Slightly runny
Don’t know what it is but it’s happening to me
You want the truth oh how I want you
I want you so bad
It’s giving me a chill
I don’t know if I’ll tell you
Maybe I will
Can’t sleep
I don’t want to
Underneath is the place where you lie
At least when I’m tossing and turning
I’ll have you in my mind
You want the truth oh how I want you
I want you so bad
It’s giving me a chill
I don’t know if I’ll tell you
Maybe I will
You want the truth oh how I want you
I want you so bad
It’s giving me a chill
I don’t know if I’ll tell you
Maybe I will
(There is no cool place or refuge underneath these cold white sheets
I’ve looked around all four corners but you are still not around)

2 X 2
II x II they’re falling from the sky faster than God’s desire
In my eye more than the size of insects which swell in this hot place
Is where the flies fly ‘cause I never shut my mouth
It’s full of talking
I’ve got a lot of catching up to do
And when it gets you down you learn to take control
And blow it all away.
I have always wondered as you beat yourself into a fruity pulp
In which you’ll have your share of apple pie
It’s OK sometimes we spin right out and as for playing with fire
My brother proved that you can learn to walk on coals.
And when it gets you down you learn to take control
And Blow it all away.
Keeping up with virtue is the job of Saints and
You can’t really ask them as they’re buried dead and gone
They can’t put a foot wrong can they?
And it really is amazing as you seem to have a conscience
I thought oh no, here we go, here we go again.
And when it gets you down you learn to take control
And Blow it all away.
II x II they’re falling, falling from the sky
II x II they’re falling, falling from the sky

FILLED ME UP
There’s shade in the light of all those things
Who’s to know what a lover will bring
But you never really know until you try
Like a blot or a clot
Or an inkwell unturned
What you gave to me was bigger than this
A kaleidoscope of moods
What you didn’t know you make up made it true
Oh I miss you still guess I always will
You gave it back to me
You gave me back the colour
You gave it all to me
Filled me up
Someone said to Winter you just put your raincoat on
The Ice Queen is a melting and she’s dripping out through the door
So you smile
And you smile
And you smile
You gave it all to me babe
You gave me back the colour
You gave it all to me babe
You filled me up.
You filled me up…..

Very Mostly Good

VERY MOSTLY GOOD
He’s got a lot of what she really needs
I don’t think that he does know it the good things that he does bring.
And wrapped around his neck is the essence of pure living
And he thinks he’s bad but she’s sort of glad
Cause this secret is not for sharing
He is very, very, very, well mostly good
He’s a little weird sort of vague
But mainly misunderstood.
There is dirt under his finger nails
Staying up till dawn on his breath
And the secret of immortality
Is to him such a bitter test
He is very, very, very, well mostly good
He’s a little weird sort of vague
But mainly misunderstood.
He’s not scared of anything moral, especially not her
He’s a self developed condition that he wears just like a curse
And the wants he wants he’s riding there’s a whip in his left hand
It’s too bad if you can’t hold on
Cause he never once looks back
He is very, very, very, well mostly good
He’s a little weird sort of vague
But mainly misunderstood.
Incorrigible as a Kea Bird
Loves shinning things and more
He’s a precious piece of jewellery
Four carats, but one flaw.
He is very, very, very well mostly good
He’s a little weird sort of vague
But mainly misunderstood.

He's Gone

HE’S GONE
He’s gone
Never said a word
Never said anything
Now he’s gone
Never told him I loved him
Or that I knew that he cared
Oh the sorrow
Now he’s gone
Something they never change
Something I wish they would
Oh for a few more hours
So that I could say something ‘good’.
He’s gone
Far from here
Said he’d take me away
Now he’s gone
Oh for a few more hours
Oh for a few more days
How I wish that I could tell him
But he’s he has taken just a piece of me away
He’s has gone and taken away his name
He’s gone.

ORANGE LIQUER
Oh an astonishing story
A skip to the tune of fabricated themes
I waltzed around a 1000 bullets
He sipped orange liqueur and in the wings
I thought he was a Guardian Angel
Turns out I was just naïve
But oh how I wanted him
Oh how I needed him
How he charmed me to the seams
Elevation to the obsession
Someone was always lurking in the wings.
It sounded like someone was clapping
It said “dance little girl why don’t you sing”
I thought he was a guardian angel
Turns out I was just naïve
But oh how I wanted him
Oh how I needed him
How he charmed me to the seams.
I thought he was a guardian angel
Turns out I was just naïve
But oh how I wanted him
Oh how I needed him
How he charmed me to the seams.
Oh exposure to the most beautiful of extremes
Oh exposure to the most beautiful of extremes

HEAVEN IS HERE
Heaven is here
And it’s here in your arms
I can’t resist your heavenly charms
If you take the high road
The I’ll take the low road
Then maybe one day we might meet in between
Heaven
Is here
Right here right now
Heaven is here
Right here right now
There’s no waiting for tomorrow
Yesterdays gone
As usual our timing is impeccably wrong
So if you take the high road
I’ll take the low road
Maybe maybe one day we might meet in between
Heaven is here
Right here right now
Heaven is here
Right here right now
Agape Phileo
Phileo to Agape
Heaven is here
Right here right now
Heaven is her
Right here right now
(Soon to be fulfilled my phileo love
Waiting for something to woo me
The closer I get the more that I need
The more that I need the more that I bleed)

SMALL BLUE FLAME
A small flame
A blue flame
Hides away from you another time.
And the reasons behind the reasons
Well they’re mine all mine all mine
And I see you
More than clearly
Not much of the girl I know you used to be
But I see you
More than clearly
Once ounce of you is all that you will need.
And the small blue flame
Can not be erased
You have everything you need
And I see you
More than clearly
Not much of the girl I know you used to be
I see you
More than clearly
Once ounce of you is all that you would need.
When the world binds you up and it consumes you
You’re not exactly sure who should be
Question if this is random or was this meant to be.
When the world binds you and consumes you
You’re not exactly sure where you should be
Question is this random or was this meant to be.

V8 CAR (LIBBY’S SONG)
For the boy in a v8 Car
That drove himself right out of life
For the beautiful girl who thought she was ugly most of the time
For my dearest friend who said he hurt the ones he loved
You’re not right
This is how it feels to really love you
This is how it feels to really care
There is no fear it is never changing
Never going anywhere
When in fact it hurts lots more just blindly crashing in
To say that you have never tried would be the biggest sin
Mismatched blueprint child was I and oh so undeserving
You ask yourself why
This is how it feels to really love you
This is how it feels to really care
There is no fear it is never changing
Never going anywhere
So why don’t you feel
What if this bond that is so strong
Simply never ever leaves
What to do if the mirrored two choose simply not to speak
This is how it feels to really love you
This is how it feels to really care
There is no fear it is never changing
Never going anywhere
Why don’t you feel?

UNDER THE STARS
Are you looking at the Stars tonight
Aren’t they beautiful all blue and bright
You’ll see a message I left there just for you
Hope you know you know it’s true
Are you looking at the stars tonight
Aren’t they beautiful all blue and bright
All those words you whispered so softly in my ear
I wrote them in the stars for the Angels to hear
They say my heart will mend that it’s not a big deal
There’s no getting over you, it’s just how I feel
Are you looking at the stars tonight
Aren’t they beautiful all blue and bright
I know it’s hard for you too but if it’s OK I will hold on tight
To the dream of being with you on this night
Knowing what I know about you
Well it makes it feel well it makes it feel alright
Are you looking at the stars tonight
Aren’t they beautiful all blue and bright
Are you looking at the stars tonight
Meet me underneath the stars tonight
Aren’t they beautiful all blue and bright
Meet me under the starts tonight!

Goodbye Adieu

GOODBYE ADIEU
Here’s a toast to the things I’ve done
Like wearing a wax frock and sitting in the sun
Moving to slow when everybody else is running
He said quite calmly that I’m not the one
I should be thanking him not crying
But inside right now there’s no denying
Change abounds
You’ve taken your love away
You’ve taken your love away
And there’s nothing I can do
Except say goodbye adieu
Here’s a toast to when I got it all wrong
It got me on the hop when I thought I did belong
It’s all about the lining silver and gold
A story lines repeated when it needs to be retold
I think quite calmly that you’re not the one
So I am thanking you not crying
Inside right now there’s no denying
Change abounds
You’ve taken your love away
You’ve taken your love away
And there’s nothing I can do
Except say goodbye adieu
