O

Delicate

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobodys watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobodys there
Its not that were scared
Its just that its delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words youve borrowed
From the only place youve know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When theres nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words youve borrowed
From the only place youve know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words youve borrowed
From the only place youve know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

Volcano

Dont hold yourself like that
Youll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
Thats all I need
Dont build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask for the sea

Dont throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need
Dont drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me

You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask...

What I give to you
Is just what Im going through
This is nothing new
No, no, just another phase of finding
what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Like a new disease
But lord shes still too young to treat

Shes still too young/ Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you/ Volcanoes melt you down/ Shes still too young
Is not real/ Volcanoes melt you down/ Shes still too young
What I am to you/ Volcanoes melt you down/ Shes still too young
You do not need/ Volcanoes melt you down/ Shes still too young
Shes still too young/ Volcanoes melt you down/ Shes still too young

You do not need me

The Blowers Daughter

And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
most of the time
And so it is the shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I cant take my eyes off of you
I cant take my eyes off you
I cant take my eyes off of you
I cant take my eyes off you
I cant take my eyes off you
I cant take my eyes...

And so it is just like you said it should be
Well both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is the colder water
The Blowers Daughter
The pupil in denial

I cant take my eyes off of you
I cant take my eyes off you
I cant take my eyes off of you
I cant take my eyes off you
I cant take my eyes off you
I cant take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I cant take my mind off of you
I cant take my mind off you
I cant take my mind off of you
I cant take my mind off you
I cant take my mind off you
I cant take my mind...
my mind...my mind...
Til I find somebody new

Cannonball

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say whats going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little piece of your face i havent kissed
You step a little closer to me
Still i cant see whats going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So its not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer each day
So close that i cant see whats going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So its not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
Cause its not hard to fall
And i dont want to scare her
Its not hard to fall
And i dont wanna lose
Its not hard to grow
When you know that you just dont know

Older Chests

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line

Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western mans need to cry
He came back the other day, you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same

Like time, theres always time
On my mind
So pass me by, Ill be fine
Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems,
Louder than before
Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races too many times

She broke down the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
But some things they stay the same

Like time, theres always time
On my mind
So pass me by, Ill be fine
Just give me time
Time, theres always time
On my mind
Pass me by, Ill be fine
Just give me time

Amie

Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And theres no explosions here
Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me
Nothing unusual, nothings changed
Just a little older thats all
You know when youve found it,
Theres something Ive learned
Cause you feel it when they take it away

Something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
But Im not a miracle
And youre not a saint
Just another soldier
On the road to nowhere

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

And Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

Cheers Darlin

Cheers darlin
Heres to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin
I got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin
Ive got your wedding bells in my ear
Cheers darlin
You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away

And I die when you mention his name
And I lied, I should have kissed you
When we were running the reins

What am I darlin?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

Cheers darlin
Heres to you and your lover man
Cheers darlin
I just hang around and eat from a can
Cheers darlin
I got a ribbon of green on my guitar
Cheers darlin
I got a beauty queen
To sit not very far from here

I die when he comes around
To take you home
Im too shy
I should have kissed you when we were alone

hat am I darlin?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

Oh what am I? What am I darlin?
I got years to wait...

Cold Water

Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all Ive got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

Love ones daughter
Allow me that
And I cant let go of your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?
[chanting] Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all Ive got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

I Remember

I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
Cause mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in the stairs
And time stopped moving

I want you hear tonight
I want you hear
Cause I cant believe what I found
I want you hear tonight
I want you hear
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth...

I want you hear tonight
I want you hear
Cause I cant believe what I found
I want you hear tonight
I want you hear
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

Except you my love. Except you my love...

Come all ye lost
Dive into moss
I hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love
Paper maché

Come all ye reborn
Blow off my horn
Im driving real hard
This is love, this is porn
God will forgive me
But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if youre gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december
And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if youre gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
What the hell do you want?

Eskimo

Tiredness fuels empty thoughts
I find myself disposed
Brightness fills empty space
In search of inspiration
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me
So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When Im down, down, down.

Rain it wets muddy roads
I find myself exposed
Tapping doors, but irritate
In search of destination
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me
So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When Im down, down, down.

(Next verse is in Intuit - sung by Doreen Curran)

When Im down, down, down.
When Im down, down, down.

Prague (Hidden Track)

I pack my suit in a bag
Im all dressed up for prague
Im all dressed up with you
All dressed up for him too...
Prepare myself for a war
Before i even open up my door
Before i even look out
Im pissing all of my bullets about...

Wrap myself in a bag
Im all wrapped up in prague
Im all wrapped up in you
Im all wrapped up in him too

Prepare myself for a war
And I dont know what im doing this for
Trying to let it all go
But how can i when you still dont know?

I could wait for you
Like that hole in your boot
Waiting to be fixed
I could wait for you
What good would that do
But to leave me bruised?

Cheers darlin
Heres to you and your lover
...darling
I got years...
Pack my suit in a bag
Pack myself in a bag
Pack my suit in a bag
All dressed up for Prague
Pack my suit in a bag
All dressed up for
All dressed up for
All dressed up for

Silent Night

Silent night, broken night
All is fallen when you take your flight
I found some hate for you
Just for show
You found some love for me
Thinking Id go
Dont keep me from crying to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, moonlit night
Nothings changed
Nothing is right
I should be stronger than weeping alone
You should be weaker than sending me home
I cant stop you fighting to sleep
Sleep in heavely peace

The Professor

Well I dont know if Im wrong
Cause shes only just gone
Heres to another relationship
Bombed by excellent breed of gamete disease
Im sure when Im older Ill know what that means
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Heres to the man with his face in the mud
And an overcast play just taken away
From the lovers in love at the centre of stage yeah
Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind
Loving is good if your dicks made of wood
And the dick left inside only half understood her
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away yeah
What makes him stall, what makes him stand
And what shakes the elephant now
And what makes a man?
I dont know, I dont know, I dont know
No I dont know you any more
No, no, no, no...

I dont know if Im wrong
Cause shes only just gone
Why the fuck is this day taking so long
I was a lover of time and once she was mine
I was a lover indeed, I was covered in weed
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Well closer to god is the one whos in love
And I walk away cause I can
Too many options may kill a man
Loving is fine if its not in your mind
But Ive fucked it up now, too many times
Loving is good if its not understood
Yeah, but Im the professor
And feel that I should know
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away and
What makes him tick apart from him prick
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick
I dont know, I dont know, I dont know
No I dont know, I dont know, I dont know
No I dont know, I dont know, I dont know
Hell I dont know you any more
No, no, no no...

Well I dont know if Im wrong
Cause shes only just gone
Heres to another relationship
Bombed by my excellent breed of gamete disease
I finished it off with some French wine and cheese

La fille danse
Quand elle joue avec moi
Et je pense que je laime des fois
Le silence, nose pas dis-donc
Quand on est ensemble
Mettre les mots
Sur la petite dodo
