When you’re older it is easy
to be all the things that you ever wanted to be
When you’re a rich man its easy
to buy all the things you couldn’t get when you wanted them
(Try) (Try) (Try)
Peer pressure
Too much leisure
Life where you’ve done every damn thing you’ve wanted
Never been confronted
By your choices
All the voices saying stop now.
Did you never get the memo?
Did you never get the memo?
What’s next for generation X?
What’s next for generation X?
Can you dance with the young gang?
Can you sing with the young gang?
Can you fight with the young gang?
Can you swing with the young gang?
Can you fight with the young gang?
Can you hang with the young gang?
Can you fuck with the young gang?
Can you live with the young gang?
Now I want you to stop and think about it for a minute.
You don’t want to go there.
You don’t want to follow her home.
You don’t want to Facebook friend her.
You don’t want to tell her she’s beautiful.
Just stop.

Is this the binge of the thing or the other kind of thing?
Is this the wing of the thing that could never learn to fly?
Must it have been borne up on a king size bed?
With a muffle in your head
What is the singing in your ear
Do you know when you began to hear?
Or the shuffle, shuffle – did it play out the way that
Shuffle, shuffle….you couldn’t give a fuck anyway
Can I use your phone, boy?Can I use your phone
I’ve lost all my money, boy? Can I use your money?
You’re kind of cute boy? Can you take me home?
You’re kind of cute boy? Can you take me home?
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
Were you naked in a room full of adults boy
Did you cry as the room went for silent? boy
Was it years before they let you forget it – boy
How often have you run from the room boy
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die

The Only Song You Knew
03:21
|
|||
|
Born under a blessed sign
You had powers to match
You could have come from a different time
A woman out of the past
You raised a family by yourself
and now they are fully grown
painted beauty never lasts
as the flowers you’ve sown
As the night and day converged
Flowers grew where you stood
Blood is thicker than the water’s fall
dew on your skin was red like blood.
The circle drawn glowed with fire
The night sky turned red
From solstice moon the magic flowed
And wrapped around your head
When I saw you / on the hillside /
You controlled / both the wind and rain
When I heard you / singing softly
I thought I’d never hear that song again
By the time that the caravans
came into view
You were dancing on your own
to the only song you knew
By the time that the caravans
came into view
You were dancing on your own
to the only song you knew
In the morning the mystery
Was what had transpired?
Nothing left but a memory
And a faint smell of fire
The dancing had to stop
And the crying started
What became of the broken mirror
In the land of the brokenhearted?

Do you want to?
Knows better from the inside.
Confronted
Confronted from the outside
Dreaming of a ladder
Dreaming of a ladder
When you get to the top
There’s something blocking you
And you have to stop
Screaming on the ladder
Screaming on the ladder
Someone’s choking you
And you have to stop
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Will prepare you for the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Will prepare you for the ending
When it stops
Be glad that it stopped this time
Because another time
It will never stop
When it stops
Be glad that it stopped this time
Because another time
It will never stop
Nothing in the silence of the darkness
Nothing in the silence of the darkness
Nothing in the silence of the darkness
Prepares you for the starkness
Nothing in the silence of the darkness
Nothing in the silence of the darkness
Nothing in the silence of the darkness
Prepares you for the starkness
Nothing stops
Nothings stops like a clock
At the time of death
You could have been an idol
You could have been an idol
To the ones who are next
Afraid of sex
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Will prepare you for the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Nothing in the year of the ending
Will prepare you for the ending

Gardener of Gethsemane

I was the gardener in Gethsemane
I swear the truth of the things I see
I was tending the stones at a late hour
And saw the soldiers from the Roman tower
I was the gardener in Gethsemane
I swear the truth of the things I see
I saw the struggle and a drop of his blood
Now I tend the resurrection bud.
I was the gardener in Gethsemane

I saw the struggle and a drop of his blood
Now I tend the resurrection bud.

Japanese Slippers
03:31

I realised tonight I met you twenty years ago
And that was the time that changed my life
You introduced me to your family
To your husband and your children
It would be wrong to say it made no difference
It would be wrong that things stayed the same
I sometimes think love and indifference
Are just the same things with a different name
People ask me, why am I on my own
And I tell them that I’ve never met the one
It sounds so easy in retrospect
To wonder where the days, the months, the years had gone
I think it would be fair enough to say
It wasn’t the person that went missing
It wasn’t the memory of the kissing you
Instead the fault is all mine
For falling in love at the very wrong time
I didn’t know what kind of man I would become
And after that it seems I was done
I sit alone watching the cut flowers die
And I have my Japanese slippers on
