sun's shining in my brain
You can hear the whispers
Just above the rain
It's cold eternal winter
She walks down Cedar Lane
Her dress the brightest colours
Illuminates the grey
There's little to imagine
It's short in every way
Her heel's couldn't be much higher
She glides with certainty
She know's there's eyes upon her
They watch her every day
The sun never shines round here
And I'm not giving into the rain
I wear this dress to make me feel
Like the sun's shining in my brain
And I don't feel
The cold and the rain
Men smile as they pass by her
She lifts her eyes up to the sky
It's not for them she wears the dress
They couldn't understand why
Why do women always hate her?
When all she does is try
Guess that's what this place can do
It put's they grey inside your mind
The sun never shines round here
And it's winter every day
I wear this dress to make me feel
Like the sun's shining in my brain
And I don't feel
The cold and the rain
Since this town began to cry
When the mill closed last July
No more work for anyone
Consumption's gone sky high
People quarelling in the streets
Shops are closing tradesmen leave
Sadness drips down from the sky
The grey is black in peoples eyes
The sun never shine's round here
It may be winter every day
But she don't feel
The cold and the rain
She don't feel
The cold and the rain

the great escape
Look and you'll find me
Where the wind blows
Or in the warm glow
Of the sun
Guess I'm just drifting
Like a river flows
Think I just stopped
Holding on
It's all behind me
Always shifting
Like sand the memories
Don't keep their shape
All that depends on
How I'm feeling
How I'm feeling about
The great escape
Don't keep no diary
Don't give no notice
Most times
I don't even
Know the day
And if I turn up
On your doorstep
You'll know it's the wind
That blew me that way
I couldn't live
With bills and promotions
A suit and a tie
Is a very big weight
Can't do nine to five
I lost the notion
That's when I made
The great escape
But I'm alive
And my brain
It don't do thinking
I turned off the light
Now there's only dreaming
I'm just drifting
Drifting
Drifting
I'm just drifting
Drifting
Drifting
That's why
That's why
That's why
I call it
The great escape
That's why
That's why
That's why
I call it
The great escape

dreaming in the night
There's a man
At our door
He's almost
Killed before
And he wants
To borrow
Our radiogram
Seems the answer
Is no
Now we're
Barracading the door
And he's outside
Trying to
Break it down
And I hear screaming
Inside
I think I
Was screaming inside
A man
In a camel coat
Taxi ride
Of no note
Except it was
Late, late, late
In the night
Reflection
Of the light
On the blade
Of a knife
Don't ask questions
It'll be alright
And I was
Just dreaming
Through the night
I was dreaming
In the night
And I was
Dreaming in the night
An ember
Of red hot coal
A face
And the blackest
Hole
The blackest
Hole
I could find
To hide
These are
Just dreams
She said
Then she smiled
And left
Never said goodbye
And I hear screaming
Inside
I was
Just dreaming
In the night
And I hear screaming
Inside
I was
Just dreaming
In the night

amish girl
Amish girl
You don't
Look so fine
And your clothes
They hang
Right off you
But you got something
Deep in that smile
That makes me
Want to know you
I would fly
Across the ocean
I'd do anything
Just to breath
The air around you
Amish girl
I could live
In your barn
And I don't even
Think you'd notice
Till your fields
And tend your beasts
And if you like
You could
Get to know me
You've got God
On your shoulder
And an inner peace
An I swear
There's angels
Round you
City life
Is dimming
My light
Possesions
Have begun
To own me
I can stand
In the middle
Of the biggest park
And still
Feel claustrophobic
Amish girl
I don't care
How you look
I just want
To get to
Know you
You got God
You can tell
By your look
He's the only one
Who owns you
Yeah! Amish girl
I don't care
How you look
I just want
To get to
Know you

a real love
Baby
Why are we waiting?
My love
Get's stronger
And deeper
And clearer
But you're hesitating
How do you feel love?
Is it a real love
That you feel for me?
Maybe
You love
To be loved
Are you in love
With the feeling
Of being
Oh! being loved?
Is this just
A one way?
Don't you hide
From me
What you feel
Sometimes
Sometimes
I feel out of place
Sometimes
Sometimes
I feel that space
Feel the space
Lately
You say
You do to
But you don't
Spell out
The words
To me
Oh! like I do
It's all so evasisve
Not so persuasive
Like a love that is true
Sometimes
Sometimes
I could walk away
Sometimes
It hurts me to stay
But I do
Baby
Why are
We waiting
My love
Gets stronger
And deeper
And clearer
But your hesitating
Baby
Why are
We waiting?

giulia
Giulia
I saw you there
With your hazel eyes
And Titian hair
Your skin so white
You danced
Into my dream
I was
Without a care
Content and free
I was everything
I dreamed I'd be
Like a David
To your
Venus of Urbino
Lying there
In wait
In a sensuous
Natural state
Holding roses red
With myrtle
On a windowsill
There's a
Storm outside
And a bridal chest
She comes to me
Fore she is wed
Like a thief
I steal the night
Before the day
When I wake up
On this train
To find you
Gone again
I know
What it feels like
To be me again
yeah! I know
What it feels like
To be me again

not that song again
03:02

not that song again
Not that
Song again
No, no
Not that
Song again
That's the song
That was playing
When I found
You kissing
My best friend
Here we
Go again
Same old
Hurt again
When you
Run out crying
To a road
That don't stop
And never ends
I smashed
That disk
To pieces
And it looked
Just like
My heart
A thousand
Little pieces
I thought
I'd never
See apart
So I live
On my
Own again
And I'm still
Trying
To make sense
How I lost
My girl
To a guy
I thought
Was my
Best friend
Mrs Johnson
Told me
You were
Left out
On the road
He's gone
To kiss another
When I find
Myself alone
I play
That
Song again
Yeah,
Sometimes
I play that
Song again
In my mind
Your'e there
Dancing
And it's me
Who holds you
In a kiss
In a kiss

here comes mr winter
Here comes Mr Winter
He never does forget
To appear as Autumns
Calling
Miss Summer
Home to bed
Gone the long
Nights playing
In the fields
Of happiness
Sharp his breath
His icy words
To fill us all
With dread
But there's
A fire glowing
No signs of regret
Dusted mince pies
Clementines
And colours
Green and red
Rosy cheeks
In wooly hats
Won't let
Mr Winter in
For here
There's cheer
Anytime of year
In your home
Where the year begins
So raise a glass
And drink a toast
For winter's surely here
To absent friends
As this year ends
That another
May appear
Keep the fire glowing
No sign of regrets
Dusted mince pies
And clementines
And colours
Green and red
Keep the fire glowing
No sign of regrets
Dusted mince pies
Clementines
And colours
Green and red
Here comes Mr Winter.

that was yesterday
03:53

that was yesterday
Open your arms
Frown upside down
Let loose your charms
Come feel it now
There's nothing
To resist
Like water
We persist
Where there
Is Light
We come
Flooding out
The black
That was grey
Will surely
Fade away
When the sun
Does shine
Remember
It's our time
It's time
To sing
Our song
In spite
Of all
That's wrong
Cause we have
Learned to say
That was
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
won't be
The same
As today
Yesterday
Yesterday
Won't be
The same
As today
Yesterday
Was yesterday
Tomorrow is
A different day
We can wish
Our live's away
Thinking only if's
Yesterday..........
