Southern Grace I’m down by the river I’m digging the holes I never made any sense I only made doles You’ve got to watch out, love From your tallest window A great panorama Your eyes will bestow No catching the captain as he flies for Southern Grace No blood on the ship deck will halt sail of Southern Grace When this boat leaves its moor That man won’t be bothering you more my Southern Grace It was such a commotion The belt and the vine He’s surely have killed you With a final punch line I must’ve just seen red Dragged him down to the shore Held him under the water Till he struggle no more I really wish I could have stayed But I have to be swift on my way now my southern grace One day it’s all got to blow over And I will be back here to find you my southern grace

Cover My Eyes Uncover my emotion I kiss your lips once or twice Lay your hand on my shoulder Don’t think about it Don’t think twice We're running emotions So very hard tonight Cover my eyes Cover my ears Uncover my heart Uncover the mystery I’ve heard your name before Your beauty familiar Your eyes telling me what to look for I think you’re the one Who came to me years ago? I think you’re the one Who aint gonna let me go

Warplanes and Rain Warplanes and Rain Grey skies echo back at me A smell in the air Like burning hair hits me I lock the door Won’t go outside today Can you remember when all we had was a beautiful sky? Take the love and beauty from the world And watch the happy bad guy Why do they get to have their way? Who let them have the control? I think you know the answer to that one Deep down in your soul The money goes round If you’re in the right place Make lots of dough Build fortresses so you feel safe You lock the door Can’t go outside today And were passing it by We believe the lie That drowns out the true voice of our hearts And it’s not like we’ve got too much Love And we’ve got to make a stand You mustn’t do what they say And don’t let yourself be convinced that there only is the one way It starts with you, it wont take take long Before the love occupies And we can live and love and hope beneath the beautiful sky

Dominant Beta Who left feeling on top of the world When the complimentary drinks hit home? And the remarks hark back To the times you felt you could be proud Of all you had achieved? Well done you You can see the slow and lame We're very proud From the top of your game Soon you will get the invitation The letter comes hand delivered Squiggle computer signature A key to the doors You’ve only glimpsed before Well done you You can see the slow and lame We're very proud From the top of your game Equality is not in question If I can do the same job as you do Work is what you do within a lifetime Not what task another gives to you Driving, cooking, washing skills To keep your head in headache pills And sit within the crosshairs the kids command No one tells you what to do But everybody can command you Exist in narrow margins when they get for you Well done you You can see the slow and lame Were very proud From the top of your game

The Cinnamon Aisle You know you want it But you don’t know how to get it You’ve seen it in the window But you can’t afford it Art imitates life Pull it over your shoulder It’s something that you wear It’s the spices and the herbs In the Cinnamon Aisle I’ll wait for you Where everything is dry And in sealed jars Holding on And this disguise has been A farewell and a softer night The light to see the light that has become the dark Working in monster land No-one sees the faeries and the flags That seem to come within the heart of it I could not be so bold to say I treat you well We could not be so bold to say we see you well Here comes darkness rolling around my head Ali-ali et, oh lord Here comes sweetness pouring through my brain Ali-ali, get the door I only know that I’m in love with identik island, our kid Stomping idiot unto the rhythm of the false drum That’s how false goes to- the fault goes Such a fine thing Perspectives Let me, get me home And for the senses A new pair of contact lenses A ticket to the Cricket You don’t have to watch the match I see you in the section The outcome of an election Passed by your sell by date I wish that you were always late In the Cinnamon Aisle I’ll wait for you Where everything is dry And in sealed jars Holding on
