The Girl with the Caramel Eyes 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Never had a sweet tooth That’s the bitter truth Turned away a dozen loves In my long lost youth Too serious for confectionary, I rarely got a taste Regretted in a hurry Repented in haste I wouldn’t have expected My tastes now to alter But when the light caught your hair My resolve would falter Even a sour flavour Might turn sweet some day You turned in my direction And smiled at me that way Oh, oh what a surprise I’m in love with The Girl with the Caramel Eyes Oh, oh what a surprise I’m in love with The Girl with the Caramel Eyes By the time we met It no longer seemed strange How things that were set Could suddenly change Memories are false Excuses are not reasons Love sweeps all away Abandons the seasons Oh, oh what a surprise I’m in love with The Girl with the Caramel Eyes Oh, oh what a surprise I’m in love with The Girl with the Caramel Eyes African sun And European skies You brought me A truth After a life of lies By the time I blinked I had seen enough One minute I was lonely The next in love Oh, oh what a surprise I’m in love with The Girl with the Caramel Eyes Oh, oh what a surprise I’m in love with The Girl with the Caramel Eyes

The Whisper Boys 03:14
lyrics

They called us the whisper boys because we never made much noise we danced as if at the hip kissed each other on the lips We made such plans that time knew it would be sublime by the time I saw you next all our dreams were wrecked Hey, Leo, where did you go that night? how was the darkness looking when I switched off the light? Hey Leo, taking it to to the edge what were you thinking of as you walked the narrow ledge? They called us the whisper boys cos we never made much noise all the girls were there running fingers through our hair We’d run to the city lights magic sounds and endless nights by the time our dream was close you’d took that overdose Hey, Leo, where did you go that night? how was the darkness looking when I switched off the light? Hey Leo, taking it to to the edge what were you thinking of as you walked the narrow ledge?

Threshold Horizon 03:41

By the time I was twenty Tried drugs didn’t work out By the time I was thirty Tried love didn’t work out By the time I was forty Tried work didn’t work out By the time I was fifty Tried death didn’t work out By the time I was twenty Tried drugs didn’t work out By the time I was thirty Tried love didn’t work out By the time I was forty Tried work didn’t work out By the time I was fifty Tried death didn’t work out * I was alone in the universe When I beheld the threshold horizon Beyond which all of infinity spans And I will take myself away Into the dreams of reverie I will let the universe hold me And in its embrace I am no longer lonely I will let the universe hold me

By Night They Must Be Gone 3:44 By night they must be gone By night they must be gone I will go no further I will go no further I must protect my family Must protect my family Outside there will be murder Outside there will be murder By night they must be gone By night they must be gone Let them stay till morning Let them stay till morning Here there is no sanctuary Here there is no sanctuary Lord please forgive us Lord please forgive us By night they must be gone By night they must be gone I will go no further I will go no further This is not my conflict This is not my conflict Outside will be murder Outside will be murder By night they must be gone By night they must be gone By night they must be gone By night they must be gone By night they must be gone By night they must be gone

Loading up the Bays 06:22
lyrics
buy track
I was floating and I was noting down the days You were goading me whilst I was loading up the bays It said that dreams begin in silence my dreams began in noise I shut myself off from the violence because the dreams were my choice How do you think the things you want get to you? How do you think the world comes to your hand? There’s a man in a factory five hundred miles away And he at least tries to understand You were sat there counting money In your house in the countryside Don’t you think its quite funny How you never look outside? I dream of being a bird in flight I dream of being up in the air I dream of coming to you in the night Did you ever think I’d be your nightmare? I was floating and I was noting down the days You were goading me whilst I was loading up the bays

The sun rise in Siena Night lights on the ocean Sweet lambs on the hillside Colours of the rainbow Renoirs in the gallery Kate Moss on the catwalk Smoked salmon at the banquet Cartier ring of diamonds The sun rise in Siena You’re prettier than, prettier than Night lights on the ocean You’re prettier than, prettier than Sweet lambs on the hillside You’re prettier than, prettier than Colours of the rainbow You’re prettier than, prettier than Renoirs in the gallery You’re prettier than, prettier than Kate Moss on the catwalk You’re prettier than, prettier than Smoked salmon at the banquet You’re prettier than, prettier than Cartier ring of diamonds You’re prettier than, prettier than

Standing Water 04:47
lyrics
buy track
By the time you read this we will all be gone And the legacy will come too late The poets have lost their will to write And monsters will roam the land Empires collapse when the walls are secure But the foundations underfoot Are built of mud and sand And wind turns all to dust You know there’s no way back When you’re stood in the standing water Seas have risen and the sky is black You’re stood in the standing water We look to a time when we still had a chance And the reversal could still take place But the bankers and leaders looked the other way And we’re no longer in the race The rivers rise and the mountains roar And we race to our gated homes And the dust that you build your lies upon Is blown away in the storm You know there’s no way back When you’re stood in the standing water seas have risen and the sky is black you’re stood in the standing water All the temples you worshipped at Won’t keep you from the storm The best you can hope for is the forest cover But you cut down the trees for oil When the waters come they will not cease Until the world is clean By the end of the very last day Will you regret the way you’ve been? You know there’s no way back When you’re stood in the standing water seas have risen and the sky is black you’re stood in the standing water
