Twilight Alehouse
Is it really true,
what they’re saying?
Are you really sure there’s nobody come for
me?
When I’m walking home, there is no one
Once there was a
house full of laughter, so warm
Trying to pretend there is
someone,
Someone who will care when I need it
I
will now receive my comfort
Conjured by the magic power of
wine:
Just a drink -and I’ll get that drink- and I’m feeling
good
Just a drink -and I’ll get that drink- and I’m feeling
fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can
blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man
again
Now I’m down
When I walk outside, there is
nowhere,
Children follow me with their laughter; so cold (hah hah
hah)
Casting just a glance at the churchyard,
Casting just a
glance at my painted female friend
Now I’m on my way, I am
falling
Got to find some help, oh I need that
now
Happy The Man
Happy the man; he
lives a simple life
Doesn’t have much; it doesn’t worry him where
you’re going
Yeah , yeah, yeah ,yeah nowhere
Like a nun with
a gun; I’m wonderful fun
Laughing all through, just watching
you
Seems a very stupid game, but I don’t care!
Happy the
man; he doesn’t buzz around
Nothing he wants and more than
anything; where you going?
Nowhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
nowhere
Like a fool in a pool; I’m incredibly cool
With a
grin on my chin; I’m certain to win
Someone says he’s Jesus
Christ but, I don’t care!
He is a good man, he is a good man
Happy the man; he doesn’t buzz around
Nothing he wants
and more than anything; where you going?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
nowhere
Shepherd
Rise up, take your lyre and
sing,
Listen to the news I bring
Frosty breath on the
window,
See a friend in the snow that gently falls
Feel the
truth in those sad eyes,
See the smile that's so rare just like
the love
She waits for him
And she plays a game of her
own
As she sleeps within the firelight
For her dreams are
incredibly wild,
But they're lost and gone forever,
with the
dawn
Fair and friend of the fleece spoke
Warrior bold,
shepherd wise, fair prince of peace
Someone waits in the
doorway
On a white horse he comes and holds out the hand
She
waits for him
So they ride through a valley of mist
To a
castle in the heavens
Where he lays her down to rest
But he's
lost and gone forever, with the dawn
See her writhe in her
dream, then
Mermaids sing in the sunset
Sadly asking if
beauty ever walks free
But Queen Frost only whispers:
'Maidens
you will remain, to be free'
See her writhe in her
dreams
Lord of the seven sons!
Keeper of the keys of time!
Hear me
Pacidy
Pacidy, my love
Glowing
ember of evening
Your eyes are frozen with guilt
I read my fate
on your cheeks
The smoldering coals of a passion
Once a meadow
of hope
Days of minstrels and bright steeds
Autumn nights
and silk sheets
Your tender battle shadow on me
Scented
lavender kisses, soft and warm
The union of strength in a love
against life
Love against life
Pacidy, my love
Your
touch, so limp, was once frenzied
Your leathern lips were once
sweet
A life has slipped through my hands
My spirits sift in a
stale sigh
Did love exist as a dream?
Mother fawn of a pine
wood
Shepherdess of my grief
Veils a freedom not for me
Far
beyond the steep ridge, where blizzards
Blast the spirit of man,
the frailest of beasts
Frailest of beasts
Where
blizzards
Blast the spirit of man, the frailest of
beasts
Frailest of beasts
Where blizzards
Blast the
spirit of man, the frailest of beasts
Frailest of
beasts
Let Us Now Make Love
Please, I beg you hear
this humble voice
Please, pale orchid flower, music of my
soul
Alone, upon the windswept way
Descends the
nightingale
She swoops to soothe my aching brow
Let us now make
love
Please, I beg you hear this humble voice
Please, my
emerald goddess, wash away the wounds
Alone, the pilgrim thirsts
and falls
The Queen runs to his call
She stoops to soothe his
aching brow
Let us now make love
Make love, make
love
Let us, let us, let us make love
Love, sweet
heavenly love
I promise you life will be good
If you just stand down and try
To be one
with soul who cry
Let us make love till the end of time
Now and
forever
Please, I beg you hear this humble voice
Please,
dear oyster shell reveal your hidden pearl
Alone, the deaf, the
sick, the blind
Turn grimly for the knife
The prophet stoops to
soothe their brow
Let us now make
love
Please, I beg you hear this humble
voice
Come, let's walk the windy roads to find the
truth
Revealed, each part has now been played
Your beauty will
not fade
So cling to me, fulfill your vow
Let us now make
love
Going Out To Get You
I can pacify
your violence
I can guarantee no pain
leave the ugly force of
motion
deep inside your guilty brain
Going out
to get you
Going out to get you
Going out to get you
Pulpit
of the python
Chasing out the innocents defiled
Leave your
weapon in the cool stream
Rest your body on the stone
Multitude
will beckon to a clear sky
Rise again to follow all who
came
Are you really evil?
I saw you in the Devil’s
Kitchen
Cooking for the Queen of Spades
Hiding in your pretty
laces
Licking fingers sunk in jam
Curl your
flimsy leaves around me
Sorceress you cannot still
command
Burning in the orifice of Hades
Sacrifice your magic to
my hand
Are you really evil?
I saw you in the hermit’s
garden
picking roots to kill his flesh
Picking spells to take
his body
Trapping him inside your mesh
Build
Me A Mountain
Do you have champagne in your dreams?
Where
do you dine with Kings and Queens?
Where have you put your plastic
face?
The highest cave was yours, not mine
The
biggest slave was yours
My adoration’s on the wane
Is this your
dying day?
The curtain falls, the lights go out
You move,
you think, you talk, you shout
The portrait stares, your eyes
fight back
The magic wand brings all you
lack
Build me a mountain that I may see the
sky
Build me a tunnel that I may see the world
The ball’s
begun; the champagne’s flat
The music swings, they do 'The
Jack'
The vultures scream, the storm’s ahead
The ball is over:
you’re dead
Build me a mountain that I may see
the sky
Build me a tunnel that I may see the world
Image Blown Out
People moving about the town, upside down
You
know why?
Little bits of coloured glass in the sky
Children
pushing mummy down to the park
In a pram
Look out! The
pavement's changing to jam!
See them running now; where are
they going to?
To follow them leads you nowhere
Shout to them
quickly, but no one can hear you
All they can do is just
stare
Your bowler hats are turning green
Your
city suits are coloured cream
You, you who changed my life,
you
made it misery
Sadness reigns alone
Wonder why you do this to
me
when I've tried so hard for you
People talking to the
man who's digging a hole
In his mind
He's no need to
worry,
he's deaf and blind
See the dustman doing his round
in a Rolls
Made of glass
He's gained everything because he's
got
Class
Friends are leaving me when I did
everything
Just as they used to behave
Trying to copy
them
Losing my real self
Floating away in the
cloud
Your minds have gone,
you're out of step
The rules
you taught
You never kept
The Magic of Time
The magic of time that surrounded the world
In the mist
and the cloud of new life
The seas had been filled and the air
made clean
Awaiting the change on the ground
Sunlight at
daytime; and the dew came at night
And the rain fell to dampen the
earth
And the rain filled the rivers
And the rivers the
lakes
And life on the ground did emerge
Earth is covered by
moss and flowers
Trees are clothed in green
The silent sun has
fashioned the world
A stage for man to come
The magic of
time that surrounded the world
In the mist and the cloud of new
life
The seas had been filled and the air made clean
Awaiting
the change on the ground
Hey!
I'll tell you the
story
Of how my life ran
Well, at first it was easy, but it
finished so hard
Hey! You started me going,
Hey! I was
so happy
Hey! You started me going inside me
I need your love
right now!
Promises broken; the things I believed in
You
were so nice, girl
And I couldn't see through it
Hey! You
ended my happiness
Hey! You needed my love
Hey! You ruined
the world I was planning
Hey! You left it all too
late
Hey! It's all over now
Hey! You want to
apologise
Hey! Well look at me, hundreds of pieces
Why did you
lead me on?
Hidden In The World Of Dawn
Pastel
colours bring the sky to life
Cleanse the night with a breath of
dawn
Silence broken when a baby cries
Piercing the mist that
cloaks the cool outside
The streets are beginning to moan
gently now
Daylight lays on the ground
Dew drops trickle down
leaves gently now
Soaking the pathway of the father’s
motions
Windows opening as the postman calls
Letters to
smell; letters to burn
Daily papers through the hole in the
door
Sex and news fill the wisdom of a million minds
Time
is a measure of strength quickly now
Speed is the cause of
decay
Traffic is humble to fall on your knees
Pushing and
pulling the tired
Little men in their cars
Wake
up! Your conscience is calling!
Reality begins at nine
Wake
up! Think what you’re missing
Hidden in the world of
dawn
Rest your body with soothing sleep
Dream of the hours
you left behind
Listen carefully for the break of day
The
twilight’s near, silence brings the fantasy here
Silhouettes
mingle with sky backed with smog
Ripples of morning flow by
The
quietness flavours the glow
Breathe it in
Imagine the bliss
that is glazing the warm face agleam
Sea Bee
Hey; Sea Bee, fly through the waters as sadness that pulls
you away
from me
Hey, Sea Bee, you’ll freeze in the wind
that’s gently blowing you away
from me
Fly to me
quickly
Soften your cold wings
I’ll find you comfort
You
know you’re gonna fall down, down, down
‘Til you end up on the
ground
You have no fun
You’re on your own
Where you
flying now in the sky?
Can you cast your eyes below?
Hey,
Sea Bee, raindrops are falling on the shadows where you are
so
close to me
Hey, Sea Bee, the beauty I saw has been wrenched
from the sea of my
sorrowing eyes
Swim home to me,
now
You can just make it
I know you like it
You know you’re
gonna fall down, down , down
‘Til you end up on the
ground
You’re slipping now
You’re on your own
Drifting
higher in the sky
Disappearing from my sight
Hey, Sea Bee, once
in a while think of the friend that you left behind
Hey’ Sea Bee,
I can’t forget you or the warmth that surrounded your
gentle
heart
The Mystery Of The Flannan Isle Lighthouse
Flannan Isle is in the South on the Point of
Kedgeree
Forty seven miles from land in the roughest part of the
sea
On the finest day and the sea was black
And they say that
no one has ever come back from there
They say that wicked
spirits haunt the lighthouse in the night
Fears close to many men
who've tried to start the warning light
Waves are hurled against
the earthly rocks
Spray is changed at once to a wall of ice tern
who wants to rest its tired limbs
And is tumed to a flurry of
snow
The island's rocks have many caves that smell of dying
flesh
They lure the strangers to their maze of never ending
length
The empty cave is filied with sound a man is lying in the
ground below
Each month a boat is sueked to perish by the
rocky isle
Each tide is full recovered from the wreckage
there
Boats that sail too near to Flannan feel the weather change
and they turn away
If they dare to look behind them screams of
disappointment fill the air
Hair On The Arms And Legs
See him digging, see him weeding
Every single day of the
year
Coffee at eleven, four thirty tea
His security is
built on routine
But inside his mind, there's a lot going
on
Planning the world but it just don't do no good
I say:
'What's the use?'
Population, starvation,
his mind keeps
working hard
Ending wars, changing laws
and all of them locked
away
In cessation, repetition
funeral for an age of
decay
Meditation, deep frustration
Caused our hairy friend to
die
Here lies a man
Who failed to escape
Filled his
small head with the worries
That plague the world
I say:
'What's the use?'
She Is Beautiful
Cool as ice, yet
brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet facade
You're
breaking up
You're breaking up now, baby
You're breaking up
your life
Into little pieces
Baby
Vanity arrived with
fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very
beautiful: look at her
And she's a model
Hey girl, I love
you but you won't listen
to what I'm trying to say
Things won't
work out as you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give
it up, baby
Give it up and come back to me
Your look of
majesty enables some to get more money
For them; you're just a
product
For me; you're the one I love
Baby
Vanity
arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is
beautiful; very beautiful: look at her
And she's a
model
Hey girl, I love you but you won't listen
to what I'm
trying to say
Things won't work out as you plan them now
Don't
throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Give it up and come back
to me
Cool as ice, yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck
with a sweet facade
You're breaking up
You're breaking up now,
baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little
pieces
Baby
Please don't take my love away from my arms;
no, no
I need her near me every single day
Please don't take
her away; I need my love
Try A Little Sadness
If you see another staring straight at you
Take his life and change
it;
That's what you always do
You're still in the days of
childhood
Where everything is wrong and no good
I can see, what
you're trying,
what you're trying to be
Let me tell you
now:
Try a little sadness baby
Try a little
sadness baby
Try a little sadness or you love will never be
found
Your pink Dalmatian out in to the street
So you
laugh, but cry when it comes to bite your feet
You say it's fun to
live
where there's always take and no give
Don't you see that
where you live,
there's a world of sin?
You
always go and hide you lovin'
before it's gone and too
late
Things are changing, you're remaining
Leave it and come
with me
Let me tell you now
