MR KATHERINE (Oxley)
Telephone rang at 9 in the morning
It's Mr. Katherine on the line again
Wants to know if his daughter's home
If she's sleeping like the rest of us
He won't let go of her
He can't let go of her
It's a dad thing
She's been out all night with her friends
Smoking pot and dancing
Her daddy wants her home with him
Doesn't realise that she's all grown up
So he calls her up at home
At nine o'clock in the morning
To make sure she's alone
Won't let her go
He can't let go of her, of her
It's a dad thing
She'll run and run and run and run
She'll run and run and hide
She'll run and run and run and hide
He calls her up at home
To make sure she's alone
HEADS (Phillis)
You told me what you thought of me
I didn't know if you could see
The love that it cost
The tears that we lost
But I can see with time between
It wasn't me that you could see
And it wasn't you
That I listened to
It was all in our heads
We ask our minds to wander free
And take us where we want to be
But sometimes we stray
And die on the way
But lying there under the frost
I realized that I was lost
The sun held my hand
Now I understand
It was all in our heads
And now there's a warm breeze all through me
It was all in our heads
ALL OVER NOW (Oxley)
Broke my overbite falling down
Watch my teeth float
Up the gutter and down the drain
It's all over now
Lost my love
Did the full circle again
And no-one gives a damn
Treated it like a dream
Because life will always change
Drinking often boy
Drunken wind-up toy
Fear surrounds you
Listen to you son
He doesn't think he's one
Fear.....
This impermanence
Is hard to take
You have to fallow death
Or it will hunt you down
I'm talking to you
Do you listen to the sound
It's all over now
It's all over
It's all over now
It's all over now
It's all over now
It's all over now
IVY (Phillis)
Oh my God now I have everything
That I ever wanted, here's the list,
I have ticked them all.
So if I start to complain let me know.
I'm not saying that I don't have days
When I wish I could be far away
And step out of my world,
What I mean is that I've found
Something real
To focus on instead of shit inside my head
Something I can hold, she's only six weeks old,
And smiling back at me
New leaf on our tree
Let the Ivy grow all over me
What I mean is that I've found something good
To help me see the truth, a bridge to my youth
Stretching me right through the ceiling of my mind
To the motherload
Watch the shit erode,
And let the Ivy grow all over me
EVERYBODY WANTS TO OWN ANOTHER HEART
(Oxley)
In love with a girlfriend
She's so pretty
If you don't treat her properly
Might lose her to me
Everybody wants to own another heart
Or two
Everybody wants to own another heart
I want two
I wailed all through the evening
And all through the day
No-one can help me
Low my head lays
Everybody wants to own another heart
I want two
Everybody wants to own another heart
I want two
Pain......
Pain......
Pain......
BALLERINA (Phillis)
Ballerina dancing on the head of a pin
Skinny angel on the edge
Fire burning pirouette
Spinning for the mad and tragic
Strike a magic arabesque
Ballerina dancing on the head of a pin
See the blood fly out in circles
Go easy ballerina
How could I save you from yourself
I'm the dreamer, you're the prima -
Ballerina dancing on the head of a pin
CLOTHES (Whittingham)
Dreamer, I've thought about the world over dinner
You made me see the pearl
But I claim fright
Sit tight, still fight
Doer, you're up there with the best
But I can't seem to get undressed
Undress me
Address, adress free
Undress, undress me
Address
THAT KIND OF LOVE (Phillis)
She asked me if I'd been in
That kind of love
I said I did know what it was
I had to lie to her because
I may have had it once
But it's gone
That kind of love
Won't ever be
Welcome in this reality
It killed something inside of me
I'd rather die than be in
That kind of love
She said it's something wonderful
It fills you up and makes you whole
I thanked her for letting me know
I smiled and hoped it didn't show
That kind of love
That kind of love
STARLING (Hitchcock)
She wakes me before dawn
To watch the sunrise
She's been flying all night long
Comes in from the stars
Through my window
Looks at me and sings her little song
Follow me and let me show you
Be in my sky forever more
Fly away with me little starling
Fly
Fly away with me little starling
Fly
She rests her tiny wings under my rainbow
Welcome to a blue sky day
On my cloud we make a perfect picture
Come with me and fly my milky way
Follow me and let me show you
Be in my sky forever more
Fly away with me little starling
Fly
Fly away with me little starling
Fly
FAR FROM THE GRACE (Phillis)
We're setting sail
On a ship in a bottle
Waving goodbye to the people we know
Here in a room in a house full of strangers
Look up at the stars
We count them like children
What if the stars
Were just holes in the night ?
What if the night was a blanket to keep us
From the grace of heaven I know
That you think it is
Who did this to you ?
And who did it to them ?
We're riding high on our
Felt hobby horses
Waving imaginary swords in the air
Looking for any distraction to keep us
From the grace of heaven we are
Looking for a spark
How can it be seen
If not from in the dark ?
Oooooh and you do
Show me heaven
I know that
You don't even know
That you do
And you do
Just a sliver
A fragment
A glimmer of hope.....
THE ROMAN SONG (Whittingham)
If I said one am
Could you put the clock back then ?
'Cause I'm still flyin'
Inside this glass that's sighing because
Tonight I'm a Roman
I'm Frank, Jerry & Martin
I'll see you on a park bench
Before the sun sets in
If you mix the potion
Then I'll create the motion
If you spin the roulette wheel
I'm sure to tell you how I feel 'cause
Tonight I'm a Roman
I'm Frank, Jerry & Martin
I'll see you on a park bench
Before......
Tonight I'm a Roman
I'm Frank, Jerry & Martin
I'll see you on a park bench
Before the sun sets in
Before the sun sets in
Before the sun sets in
ALIENSHIP (Oxley)
I wanna be scooped up by a passing alienship
And taken to another world where I can breathe
A little bit better
I know it's not gonna happen
But it would be nice 'cause I'm all alone
Got a letterbomb from my baby
Our love did fade
That's what it is
It's me
I verbally abuse my friends when I get drunk
They don't wanna know the truth about themselves
Now they don't wanna know about me
Anymore 'cause it's too scary
That's what it is
It is me
Not you or anybody else
That's what it is
It is me
I wanna be scooped up by a passing alienship
And taken from this world where I can breathe
A little bit better
