Maiden Fair 03:22

You hide yourself behind a veil Of empty words that never fail To keep your face, your drop dead face Hidden from the sun You think a smile can solve it all Even when behind the wall There is no smile, no smile on the face Kept hidden from the sun You're torn between the shadows and the sun Caught up in the lies, the lies you’ve spun You're torn between the shadows and the sun And everyone you know, is going to cut and run You tell yourself it'll be ok Behind your back your friends all say They don't know who, who you are Hidden from the sun You're in the dark you're out of view In just the way you wanted to Be out of sight, out of mind When you’re hidden from the sun You think that people know you They know you, but know you they don't You think that they will come to you Warm to you, know that they won't. You're torn between the shadows and the sun Caught up in the lies, the lies you’ve spun You're torn between the shadows and the sun And everyone you know, is going to cut and run You're torn between the shadow and the sun And everyone you know, is going to cut and run

Sunshine 03:25
I want to love you in the daytime I want to love you in the sunshine I want to love you in the night-time I want to get you alone I want to take you home I want you You know what I want to do I want you I want to get you alone I want to take you home You’ve loved me in the daytime You’ve loved me in the sunshine And now we’ve loved in the night-time I think that I’ll go home I want to be alone Just to see What you mean to me Just to see If we are meant to be If we are meant to be Well, all through the night You’ve been in my head But where I want you baby is Here in my bed Yes, here in my bed And I love you in the daytime And I love you in the sunshine And I love you through the night-time Come on, it’s time to go home We’ll be alone

Leo's Song 05:21
When Leo was here You never brought him flowers You never cared where he was In the darkest hours Leo cried all of the time Leo cried all of the time Maybe he couldn’t see the day When God would give him peace of mind Leo cried all of the time. Now Leo’s gone Everybody wants to know Why was he so sad We should never have let him go Leo please come on home Leo please come on home We’re sorry that we hurt you We’re sorry to the bone Leo please come on home But all the glassy tears Of those he left behind Washed all the memories clean Of the ways they’d been unkind Lord have mercy on their souls Lord have mercy on our souls We tried so hard to help him He was a sad and lonely boy Lord have mercy on our souls Leo’s got away now He’s never coming back He smiles as he stares Out along the railway track Leo’s never coming back He is never coming back He moved away from the people Who never gave a damn Leo is never coming back. Sometimes you must escape from those Who don’t really care for you Change your life, change your friends Maybe change your family too The whole world’s waiting there for you The whole world’s waiting there for you Take your life in your own hands You’ll find the love you never knew The whole world’s waiting there for you

Entwined: Wrapped up together Can't get enough of each other His arms circle her Safe and complete Make me feel that I’m alive I want proof that I am here Make me feel that I’m alive I want proof that I am here Entrapped: Suffocating pressure Stealing her space He crushes her She’s overwhelmed Make me feel that I’m alive I want proof that I am here Make me feel that I’m alive I want proof that I am here Apart: Lying still and separate Living parallel lives He’s so far away Her sorrow fills the night Make me feel that I’m alive I want proof that I am here Make me feel that I’m alive I want proof that I am here Make me feel that I'm alive Make me feel that I'm alive

Joan of Arc 05:55

I tried to keep my heart safe, didn’t want to fall in love It was easier to shut down, than have feelings too hard to be rid of Stayed back from loving you, didn’t open that door Kept my feelings locked away, ‘cos I wanted more I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me I don’t think I want you, the way that you want me Oh, I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me I saw you standing there; I saw your hopeful face Your eyes full of love, full of memories of what you gave Everybody knew it was me you adored Put your life on hold for me, but I needed more I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me I don’t think I want you, the way that you want me Oh, I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me Ah-ah, I can’t breathe Ah-ah I can’t leave Ah-ah, I can’t breathe Ah-ah, I can’t leave I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me I don’t think I want you, the way that you want me Oh, I don’t think I love you, the way that you love me

Verdigris 03:22
Open your hand, see the stain Open your hand, see the stain Hold the copper, oh hold the copper You’ll get your train Light the dynamite, wait and see Light the dynamite, wait and see Feel the blast yeah feel the blast Francis and me All your scorn I forgave All of your scorn I forgave I killed the birds, I killed the birds It don’t make me brave I play my hand I am free I play my hand I am free Oh let them stay, please let them stay Here on my knee I am lost, I can’t see I’m so lost, I can’t see Why did I come here, why did I come here Oh verdigris Why did I come here, why did I come here Oh verdigris Why did I come here, why did I come here Oh verdigris

Storm 04:34
They sing like angels, everybody said Voices swoop and soar O’er the ocean lies a merry fay We reached those special chords We could send letters Us upfront, Roddy sang his song In deep communion with those sorry souls We wept and crooned along The King was singing, as we waved goodbye Who knew it was the last time we’d see You, your awkward smile, your funny face And he sang, I’d rather be me There’s a place you’re searching for Where you can sing alone That stone garden, where the wild flowers grow You can rest your broken-down smile Their sympathy smothers us Singing our song, voices swoop and soar A storm is raging, the sky is black We’re here, forever more A storm is raging, the sky is black
10.
Can we come to some kind of deal Where you just leave me alone Don’t sit back in your Armani suit Fluffing the feathers of your crow Nobody loves you, you know But the desperate, the empty, the low Nobody loves you, you know But the desperate, the empty, the low Take your look of pity Your tiresome smile Stop tapping your cane on the floor Turn to face Amen Corner Sing your song to the boys at the door I can’t stop the flood of the bile nor the flow Nobody loves you, you know But the desperate, the empty, the low Nobody loves you, you know But the desperate the empty the low Darling, you know I hold all the cards And you know when I turn up again The short black sword will make you gape And you’ll flail around to make your escape Wield your flowers like a blade Pull the hairpin out of your hand grenade And I know you love me, you know Defeated, you’re empty, you’re low I don’t fear you and I promise you this I’ll never bow for your kiss I’m damned if I’ll bow for your kiss
