Kiss of Judas
02:33
|
|||
Something that you told me has thrown me and I can't find the words
And even if you hit me or kissed me I'd be far less disturbed
Than to know all those years ago he'd stolen the best thing in your world
Now tell me how could he do it after all you did for him
Betrayed with the kiss of Judas
Was it really wicked or stupid or something in between
Does it really matter the facts are so easily seen
Now it seems all your hopes and dreams lie broken and it's all down to him
Now tell me how could he do it after all you did for him
Betrayed with the kiss of Judas
Judas fled with the gold
The devil's wage for the care of his immortal soul
Judas hung from the tree
The most hated man in all of history
Did he ever think through the pain you'd inevitably meet
And did he give a toss for your loss or did he think that to cheat
On his mate somehow made him great when we all know he's not got much to brag about oh
How could he do it after all you did for him
Betrayed with the kiss of Judas

Goodbye Cruel Pop World
04:22
|

You can make it if you reach for the stars
You can be someone much better by far
But for most of us it's back to the grind
Twenty years is such a bloody long time so I'm sorry
Goodbye cruel pop world I'm leaving today
You won't miss me at all I'm embarrassed to say
You don't even know my name
You take a chance you know that someone must win
You put your money down and you give it a spin
You play your heart out take the rough with the smooth
You send your demo out but it's always refused so I'm sorry
Goodbye cruel pop world I'm leaving today
You won't miss me at all though it hurts me to say
You don't even know my name
In the Welcome Break about 3am
You decide you don't wanna be here again
You thought you couldn't lose if just had a shot
But that gig at the 100 Club was the best that it got so I'm sorry
Goodbye cruel pop world I'm leaving today
You won't miss me at all but I'm delighted to say
That I'll be OK

Mr. Dawkins
02:43
|
|||
He's got credentials, he's academically strong
He's fundamental, he's fundamentally wrong
Mr Dawkins when you die, when you wave this world goodbye
Will you ask the question why why why?
Mr Dawkins when you sit at the bottom of the pit
Will you still claim this is it?
He's a believer, he's a believer in himself
He's a deceiver, and he's better than anyone else
Mr Dawkins when you die, when you wave this world goodbye
Will you ask the question why why why?
Mr Dawkins can you aspire to be elevated higher
Than the burning lake of fire?
He is a winner, he's the champion of the world
He's not a sinner, he knows that sin's for little girls
He is a teacher, he's got the answers in his book
He wants to teach you, and he wants you to take the hook
Mr Dawkins when you die, when you wave this world goodbye
Will you ask the question why why why?
Mr Dawkins when you sit at the bottom of the pit
Will you still claim this is it?
Mr Dawkins

Being With You
03:48
|

I'd like to say something to you today
About the way I feel when you're away
Everyday I'm OK
Cos I know that you're here to stay
I'd like to show you what you mean to me
Want you to know just how you've set me free
Help me be who I can be
Help me see what you see
Being with you, being with you
I could never find no more peace of mind
Being with you, being with you
I could never find no more peace of mind
I'd like to give something back to you
For all the times I've ever made you blue
The things you do are something new
You are so true and I love being with you
Being with you, being with you
I could never find no more peace of mind
Being with you, being with you
I could never find no more peace of mind
And so I sing this song to you to say
How great you make me feel in every way
Every day I'm OK
And I love your way
Being with you, being with you
I could never find no more peace of mind
Being with you, being with you
I could never find no more peace of mind

Falling
03:24
|
|||
I've been climbing up the walls
I've been feeling two foot small
I've been down upon my knees
I've been drowning in your seas
I've been walking in the park
I've been sleeping til it’s dark
I've been writing you a song
I've been waiting here too long
I climbed up tried to see
I climbed up but now I'm falling
Like a room without a door
Like a song without a score
Like a boat upon the sand
Like a gig without a band
Like a tree without a bird
Like a letter without words
Like a race without a start
Like a man without a heart
I climbed up tried to see
I climbed up but now I'm falling

Memories of golden days
All the songs we used to play
Blue Suede Shoes, Runaway
Take your time look around
Keep your feet on the ground
What goes up must come down
You've got to give it up, baby
Growing up at my high school
On the bus we'd stare at you
Just to watch the things you'd do
We were all hypnotised
When we looked in your eyes
Something else was there besides
You've got to give it up, baby
Take me back from where I came
Things can never be the same
I don't care it's such a shame
Never thought I'd hear me say
I'm getting used to shades of grey
But things just turned out that way
You've got to give it up, baby

Almost Blue
03:06
|

And they say she's got such elegance
And they say that she's the best
And they say she's got an inner strength
And they say she must be blessed
Cos she's always good and she's always true
And she's always kind but she's almost blue
And they say that she's everybody's friend
And they say that she's so calm
And they say they wish that it was them
And they say she must be charmed
Cos she's always good and she's always true
And she's always kind but she's almost blue
And she's always fun if they only knew
That she's always fine but she's almost blue

Baby Don't Be Down
03:41
|
|||
I'm getting closer, I'm getting closer to your heart
Though you don't show it, I know you know it that's a start
Cos everything you're saying is noted for my files
And every night I'm playing I'm looking for your smile
I can't be wrong cos I've known you far too long
So baby don't be down
You don't believe it, you don't believe I love you best
One day you'll get it, you can forget about the rest
Cos everything you're saying is noted for my files
And every night I'm playing I'm looking for your smile
I can't be wrong cos I've known you far too long
So baby don't be down, baby don't be down
You got a lot of living to do
You got a lot of loving to do now
You got a lot of living to do
So baby don't be down, baby don't be down
Woke up this morning, woke up to find you on my mind
The day was dawning, I felt like dropping you a line
Cos everything you're saying is noted for my files
And every night I'm playing I'm looking for your smile
I can't be wrong cos I've known you far too long
So baby don't be down, baby don't be down

Sevens & Nines
03:58
|

You gotta raise on sevens & nines
You gotta raise on sevens & nines
The Devil’s running sixes high
You gotta raise on sevens & nines
You gotta go all in when you see the sign
You can take my hand cos you’ll beat him with mine
You gotta stop the killing now
You gotta stop the killing now
You gotta do it anyhow
You gotta stop the killing now
You gotta stop it now whatever it takes
Cos when I come back it’s gonna be too late
You gotta set my people free
You gotta set my people free
Send them back to me
Set my children free
You gotta set my captive people free
Or when I come back you’re gonna answer to me
You gotta raise on sevens & nines

I Believe In You
03:37
|

Can we make it to the other side
Can we make it through the rain
Didn't have much time to say goodbye
Will we make it home again
I've been over everything
I've studied what's been happening
Is anybody listening out there
Yes I believe, yes I believe
Though my heart is broken and my mind don't see
Yes I believe, yes I believe
Though my body's aching and I'm down on my knees
Yes I believe, yes I believe
Though my soul is shattered still my spirit screams
Yes I believe, yes I believe in you
Now I see that there's no turning back
It's no use to just pretend
Cos the day is turning into black
Will we make it to the end
I've been over everything
I've waited for my phone to ring
Is anybody answering my prayers
Yes I believe, yes I believe
Though my heart is broken and my mind don't see
Yes I believe, yes I believe
Though my body's aching and I'm down on my knees
Yes I believe, yes I believe
Though my soul is shattered still my spirit screams
Yes I believe, yes I believe in you

Come To Me
04:09
|

She likes to sit amid the flowers
And read Virginia Wolff's The Hours
She wants to finish it one day
She wants to throw it all away anyway
Come to me all ye broken hearted lovers
Come to me and I will give you rest
Come to me all you broken hearted lovers
Your broken hearted souls I'll rest
He likes to walk along the railway line
He likes to think of their first valentine
He knows she must be far away
He couldn't find the words to say anyway
They like to stand among the poplar trees
And feel the sun and watch the dancing leaves
The earth that in a mound is laid
The earth that teaches us we're clay anyway

As I walked out on a midsummer's morning
For to view the fields and to take the air
Down by the banks of the sweet primroses
There I beheld a most love-lie fair.
Three short steps, I stepped up to her
Not knowing her as she passed me by
I stepped up to her, thinking for to view her
She appeared to be like some virtuous bride
I says "Fair maid, where are you going?
And what's the occasion of all your grief?
I will make you as happy as any lady
If you will grant to me one small relief"
"Stand off, stand off, you're a false deceiver
You are a false deceitful man, I know
'Tis you that has caused my poor heart to wander
And in your comfort lies no refrain"
So I'll go down to some lonesome valley
Where no man on earth shall there me find
Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices
And every moment blows blusterous wind
So come all young men who go a-sailing
Pray pay attention to what I say
For there's many a dark and a cloudy morning
Turns out to be a sunshiny day
