Diamond Dew

Awake, awake, to love and work
Luck is in the sky
Future wet, diamond dew
Birds awake to cry

Child comes home, home from school
Singing merrily
Love is born, organ plays
House by the sea

And we'll think it all again, so lets, 

Keep the fire burning
And take in all the sights
The encovering of thebodies
As the giant sun soars up 

Ooooohhh, and we'll
think it all again
Awake, awake, to love and work
Luck is in the sky
Future wet, diamond dew
Birds awake to cry

Child comes home, home from school
Singing merrily
Love is born, organ plays
House by the sea

And we'll think it all again, so lets, 

Keep the fire burning
And take in all the sights
The encovering of thebodies
As the giant sun soars up
Well there's evil in his eyes 
As the child disobeys
And they play the sport at lunchtime
As the giant sun soars up.
Ooooohhh, and we'll
think it all again

 

 

The Barafundle Bumbler

Another day's begun,
Family comes in for
Doctor takes off the top
Mother looks

And if my mother asked me 
I'm only watching birds on the sea - ooohh
But what else could I do - ooohh
When lonliness is so cruel - ooohh

Couples are best 
When they start to caress
One finger here
One fing...

And if my father asked me 
I'm only collecting stamps up a tree - ooohh
Well what else could I do - ooohh
With no Idea of you? - ooohh

We watched the ocean coming in and go,
Lightning up around his toes 
Like electricity one and O
Oooh Ooh Aaah Look at all that sun in her eyes

 

 

Starmoonsun

I'll tell you something
You can dance till you don't exist
But it never used to be like this

The sun sets over the water
And shines in my eyes 
The stars and the moon are falling
Right out of the skies
And when you cry - there is no sky.

The sun sets over the water 
It shines in my eyes
The stars and the moon are falling
Right out of the skies
And when you cry - there is no sky

 

 

Patio Song


Well isn't it a lovely day
Ooh I'm feeling all brand new.
Well isn't it a lovely day
For boating on Sunday with you

And if you really want to kiss her 
Just go right up and tell her.
Ooh isn't it a lovely day for love.

Well isn't it a lovely day 
Oh my patio's on fire
Well isn't it a lovely day
Oh no words or wisdoms from liars

And if you really want to kiss her just go right up and tell her
Oh Isn't it a lovely day for...

It's raining 
So hold my hand 
But the winter's so long 
it takes too much of the land 

Hold my hand 
It's raining 
But the winter's so long 
it takes too much of the land 

Hold my hand 
It's raining 
But the winter's so long 
it takes too much of the land 

Hold my hand 
It's raining 
But the winter's so long 
it takes too much of the land 

 

 

Better Rooms

Oooh Oooh Oooh Ooh Ooh


There's better rooms in better times
And better times in better rooms
I know this place where we can go
The birds and trees they talk to me
And


Ooohh Ooohh Ooohh Ooh Ooh

There's better foods in better feasts
And better kings in better lands 
I know this place where we could be
The birds and trees they talk to me
And 

 

Ooohh Ooohh Oooh Ooh Ooh
Ooohh Ooohh Oooh Ooh Ooh

 

 

Heywood Lane

She came dressed in black
I'll follow you down
Down to the ground 
Let me at your washing rack
Aaahh

With you it's just the same 
Let me at that china rail.

Heywood Lane - la la la....
Heywood Lane - la la la....
Them faces they're all the same - la la la...
Heywood Lane - la la la....

Auntie Clancy and Uncle Dillard
May I see the way you differ
What delightfull china cups 
We're not expecting the newly born pups.

Heywood Lane - la la la....
Heywood Lane - la la la....
Them faces they're all the same - la la la...
La la la....

Heywood Lane - la la la....
Heywood Lane - la la la....
Them faces they're not the same

Perhaps there's more to our past 
Than more decay of the chapel 
And Jesus is sailing 
Oh the future's only dreaming

Sometimes The Father Is The Son

All that's safe to hear
Is collapsing around your ears
With a foundering return in the morning

Watch the Irish sea
Going out but it never takes me

Easy and free
To be whatever you want to be
Sometimes the father is the son

There's a reason to kill
But where's the reason to die
With a foundering return in the morning

Watch the Irish sea 
going out but it never took me

Easy and free
To be whatever you want to be
Sometimes the father is the son

Easy and free
To be whatever you want to be
Sometimes the father is the son

 

 

 

Meirion Wyllt

I'm pekanese
I got no knees
I'm pekanese
I got no knees
Like cottage cheese
On authority
I'm pekanese
I got no_____

Meirion wyllt, meirion wyllt
Do oo doot do ah, 
Meirion wyllt, meirion wyllt
Do oo doot do ah,

Repeat verse

Last chorus is:

Wild Meirion, Meirion wyllt
Do oo doot do ah,

Note: The only word to be translated on this song is Wyllt, that means Wild in Welsh.

 

 

 

The Wizard And The Lizard

It's a new day the sun has risen
A cock goes cock-a-doodle-doo
A cat curls his tail, and then meows
Alarm clock rings, a new day has begun

Lizard complains, "My voice never rings true"
Wizard proclaims, "That I shall cure you
And seek out the sun from the deepest south
And place it in a beam ______"

And from that day onwards, the lizard's voice rang true, echoing thousands of times,
surfing the canyons rocks. Well, that's just the way it was.

 

 

 

Miniature Kingdom


Changed by known immature 
Charge it to all my friends 
Cut it with dental floss 

My miniature kingdom 
My king size eagle 
Go back today (go back today) 
My miniature kingdom X4 

Changed my smile to a frown 
Now that I'm in the real world 
Just can't admit I'm lost 

chorus 

 

 

 

Dark Night

Dark night, darker than thee
Such a dark dark night dark for halloween
And the torches torches burning Bright
And Molly doesn't float on this dark dark night

But what is all of this liquid all inside my brain
Swooping around like indurain
That evening I was the rocks the moon shone right through me
Lit up the ripples in the sea

Dark dark night, darker than thee
All cables on the ground and children up all night
Down in the village, young girl burning bright
And the moonlight on this dark dark night

That evening I was the rocks the moon shone right through me 
Lit up the ripples in the sea

But what if all the liquid all inside my brain
Starts leaking out when starts the pain.

 

 

Hwyl Fawr I Pawb

Hwyl Fawr I Pawb (3x) Good bye to everyone (3x) 

 

 

Wordless Song

I just can't find the words to say
I just can't find the words to say
Fit something died so deep inside
I just can't find the words to say 

today.....ooohhh....always....ooohhh
today.....ooohhh....always....ooohhh

Oh one day you'll find her sleeping oh on the dune
And beneath the August sun
Your song will come true

Down that road that
Leads to nowhere
Lies a soul
for you to discover

And beneath the August sun
Your song will come true

 

 

Young Girls & Happy Endings

You know young girls like happy endings
Well I guess that's the way it's got to be
'cos without all these happy endings
what would happen to my industry ? yehhhh

(You know that you)
You know I wrote this shit to sell ya, sell ya, 
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya
(You know that we)
You know I wrote this hit to sell ya, sell ya,
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya

Ivory towers wrapped round in silk
A young calf with his mother's milk
Victorian England shining so bright
Two lovers kissing in the moonlight

(You know that you)
You know I wrote that hit to sell ya, sell ya, 
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya
(You know that we)
You know I wrote this shit to sell ya, sell ya,
(You know that I)
You know I never mean a word I tell 'ya

And the feeling's stronger
The reason's longer, oo...

You know young girls like happy endings
Well I guess that's the way it's got to be
'cos without all these happy endings
what would happen to my industry

 

 

The Queen Of Georgia

I met the queen of Georgia
Her hair a brilliant brown
She sat all day, ooo
Sporting the perfect, perfect crown

I've been dreaming up some pictures
Where her and I could be
Like the one, ooo
Holding hands underneath the sea

Oh, the queen of Georgia
Through my own writing
Rose before me
I'm struck by lightning X2

The ocean is our carpet
I'll be her lazy sun
And know she knows, ooo
Someone to fall back on

There is no brilliant brown
The queen of Georgia and her crown
No fun and games no more
And christ, the games up now for sure

But the queen of Georgia
Through my own writing
Rose before me
I'm struck by lightning X2

And there's only one time for never
And these feelings I know to show
And there's only one time for never

I met the queen of Georgia
Her hair a brilliant brown
She sat all day, ooo
Sporting the perfect, perfect crown
