    I WILL FOLLOW

    I was on the outside, when you said
    You said you needed me
    I was looking at myself, I was blind
    I could not see


    A boy tries hard to be a man
    His mother takes him by his hand
    If he stops to think he starts to cry
    Oh why?


    If you walkaway, walkaway
    I walkaway, walkaway-I will follow


    I was on the inside
    When they pulled the four walls down
    You looked through the window, I was lost
    I am found


    If you walkaway, walkaway
    I walkaway, walkaway-I will follow


    (Your eyes make a circle
    I see you when I go in there)


    If you walkaway, walkaway
    I walkaway, walkaway-I will follow


    I will follow
    I will follow




    TWILIGHT

    I look into his eyes, they're closed
    But I see something
    A teacher told me why, I laugh
    When old men cry


    My body grows and grows
    If frightens me, you know
    The old man tried to walk me home
    I thought he should have known


    Twilight
    Twilight lost my way
    Twilight night and day
    Twilight can't find my way


    (In the shadow boy meets man
    In the shadows boy meets man)


    I'm running in the rain
    I'm caught in a late night play
    It's all and everything
    I'm soaking through the skin


    Twilight darkened day


    Twilight Twilight lost my way
    Twilight night and day
    Twilight can't find my way


    (In the shadow boy meets man
    In the shadows boy meets man)



    AN CAT DUBH

    Say good night
    She waits for me to put out the light
    And when I'm still
    She waits to break my will

    Woah-oh-oh-oh
    Woah-oh-oh-oh
    Yes, and I know the truth about you
    She cat

    And in the daylight
    A black-bird makes
    A violet sight

    And when she is done
    She sleeps beside the wire

    Woah-oh-oh-oh
    Woah-oh-oh-oh
    Yes, and I know the truth about you
    She cat



    INTO THE HEART

    Into the heart
    Of a child
    I stay a while
    But I can't go there

    Into the heart of a child
    I can smile
    I can't go there

    Into the heart
    Into the heart
    Of a child

    Into the heart
    Of a child
    I can't go down
    I can't stay a while

    Into the heart
    Oooh, into the heart...



    OUT OF CONTROL

    Monday morning
    Knitting ears of gold
    I say how long
    Say how long

    There was one dull morning
    When we were awfully boring
    I was so sound (so sound)
    It was so sound

    I was having feelings
    Out of control
    I had real pins and needles
    Out of control, oh,oh,oh,

    Boys and girls
    Who go to school I know
    They make children
    Not like this one

    I was having feelings
    It was out of control
    I had real pins and needles
    Out of control, oh,oh,oh,

    Out of control
    Out of control
    Out of control
    (Out of control, control, out of control...)

    Find old babies
    But I got to get the messy childhood
    He's looking skyward
    (Messy childhood)

    One day your gallant shores
    will not be mad
    It will be too late
    You can't find it

    I was having feelings
    It was out of control
    I had real pins and needles
    Out of control, oh,oh,oh,




    STORIES FOR BOYS

    There's a place I go when I'm far away
    There's a TV show and I can grow
    Sometimes when a hero takes me
    Sometimes I don't let go-oh-oh-oh

    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys

    There's a picture book with colour photographs
    There's a comic strip that makes me laugh
    Sometimes away he takes me
    Sometimes I don't let go

    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys

    There's a place I go and it's a part of me
    There's a radio and I will go
    Sometimes a hero takes me
    Sometimes I don't let go-oh-oh-oh

    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys
    Stories for boys



    THE OCEAN

    A picture in grey, Dorian Gray
    Just me by the sea
    And I felt like a star
    I thought the world could go far
    If they listened to waht I said

    The ocean, the ocean
    Washes my feet
    Splashes the soul of my shoes

    When I looked around
    The world couldn't be found
    Just by the sea



    A DAY WITHOUT ME

    Starting a landslide in my ego
    Looked from the outside
    To the world I left behind
    I am draming
    You awake
    What's at stake...

    A day without me (a day...)

    Whatever the feelings
    I keep feeling
    What of the feeling
    You left behind...

    A day without me (a day...)

    Starting a landslide in my ego
    Looked from the outside
    To the world I left behind
    To the world I left behind

    Wipe your eyes
    Let me let go
    In the world I left behind
    Shed a tear
    And let love go



    ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE

    Bright morning lights
    Wipe the sleep from another day's eyes
    Turn away from the wall
    And there's nothing at all

    Being naked and afraid
    In the open space of my bed
    I'll be with you now
    I'll be with you now

    I'll be with you now
    We lie
    On the ground
    We lie

    Just as I am
    I awoke with a tear on my tongue
    I awoke with the feeling of never before
    In my sleep I discovered the one
    But she ran with the morning sun

    I'll be with you now
    I'll be with you now
    I'll be with you now
    We lie on the ground

    We lie
    Another time, another place
    We lie
    Another child has lost the race

    We lie
    Another time, another place
    We lie
    Another time, another place

    We lie
    Another child has lost the race



    THE ELECTRIC CO.

    Boy
    Stupid boy
    Don't sit at the table
    Until you are able to toy
    Toy, Broken toy

    Shout and shout
    You're inside out

    If you don't know, electric co.
    If you don't know, electric co.

    Red, running red
    You play for real
    The toy could fill
    Hole in your head

    You shout and shout
    You're spoon fed

    If you don't know the electric co.
    If you don't know
    Electric co.

    If you don't know the electric co.
    If you don't know the electric co.
    If you don't know the electric co.

    SHADOWS AND TALL TREES

    Back to the cold restless night
    I talk to myself about tomorrow night
    Walls of white protest, a gravestone in name
    Who is it now?
    It's always the same

    Who is it now? Who calls me inside?
    Are the leaves on the trees just a living disguise?
    I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
    I'll walk home again to the street melody

    But I know, oh no
    But I know, oh no
    I know

    Shadows and tall trees
    Shadows and tall trees
    Shadows and tall trees

    Life through a window, a discoloured pain
    Mrs Brown's washing is always the same
    I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
    I'll walk home again to the street melody

    (Out there)
    Do you feel in me anything redeeming
    Any worthwhile feeling
    Is life like a tight rope? Hanging on my ceiling

    But I know, oh no
    But I know, oh no
    I know

    Shadows and tall trees
    Shadows and tall trees
    Shadows and tall trees
    Shadows and tall trees
