The Garden

In the garden nothing stirs
In the garden nothing stirs
in the garden nothing stirs
she's in your arms
you're in hers
all is quiet in the Garden
Living in the Greenery
living in the greenery
Living in the greenery
there's no-one here
just you and me
all is quiet in the garden
all is quiet in the garden
all is quiet in the garden
a moth caught in a web
a butterfly lost in the night
Oh God if I had wings to fly
the creepers wrap themselves around my body as I sleep
a predatory light in her eye
what kind of animal am I
A murder of crows
A drift of Swifts
What kind of Animal Am I?
Everything is as it should be
Everything is as it should be
Everything is as it should be
It's as perfect as it could be
All is quiet in the garden
All is quiet in the garden
All is quiet in the garden
Oh All is quiet in the Garden
oh All is quiet in the Garden
all is quiet in the garden

Private Hell
04:49
|
|||
And you follow the Math,
Like you're under a spell
wake-up on wall street
Ringing a bell
But you're Spiralling down like a wounded bird
Something about that voice you heard
Black out a moment, dark ocean swell
Will no-one come and save me from this private Hell,
I've always broken the things that I love
The Beauty, the Horror, the Hawk, the Dove
I was the reason for Heaven and Earth
The realisation, the Death and rebirth
So many secrets, no-one can tell
Now I'm the only witness in my Private Hell
Forgive me Prada for I have sinned,
Labels scattered to the wind
Didn't see the beauty of the day
Ignored it hoping it would go away
Labels scattered to the wind
Forgive me Prada for I have sinned,
I've sinned
I've sinned
When you were a liar, I was your smile
When you were disgusting I turned away
you were a gangsters razor sharp blade
cutting through the stuffing of the dummy I made
Blood shot a ribbon running out where you fell
Now no-one can hear me in my Private Hell
Dearly beloved I am always here
like the darkest of perfumes
the fog that won't clear
your gold is my refuge your dreams are my clothes
There's no separation when your eyes are closed
I am you and you are me as well
The Universe is turning
Like a Spiral Shell
Spiral Shell
I've Sinned, I've Sinned, I've Sinned

The Oyster Catcher
04:37
|
|||
When I was young on our TV,
David Attenborough I'd see
Collected things that he might use,
Binoculars and Walking shoes,
A Footprint someone left behind
A sunlit place deep in my mind
And a wave so sweet and strong
and this Oyster Catchers Song
You're deeper than the calling Earth
and when you sleep freer than the stars
As perfect as a wind swept Isle
Golden Mornings Light your smile
With your coat to catch the wind
Up the hill and down the Lane
And a wave so sweet and strong
And this Oyster Catchers Song
For our Children
For our Children
Mother Earth
We'll Heal the Land,
the air and sea,
Attenborough and you and Me
For our Children
We'll Heal the Land,
the air and sea,
Attenborough and you and Me
For our Children
Catch a wave so sweet and strong
Sing the Oyster Catcher's Song

Vibrational Shimmer
03:18
|
|||
High vibrational shimmer
Sunlight dancing brook
un-leaden, un-nailed, un-leashed
I give back the dark dagger you gave
the anti-psychotic, the anti-depressant
the antis and uncles of despair
and twist my wrist, heads I stay, tails I go there
Spectators scream “she's going to drown!!”
heads I float, heads I float
tails I go down

The Virus
02:58
|
|||
There is a Virus I can't see
In shadowed vale it waits for me
A nano-second from it's birth
the truth is dead
Across the Earth, the Earth
There is a Virus I can't see
In shadowed vale it waits for me
A nano-second from it's birth
My name is God
Through all the Earth

Sleepytime Donald
06:54
|
|||
Always around but never quite with us neither on nor off the bus
Sleepytime Donald, sleepytime ,sleepytime,
He's a concorde junkie,
reaping Disney carnage
in his virtual world tonight
Up in his Tower he shivers and slithers as he wipes his lips and sighs
Odour savage, gold Rolex ticking, mustard gas and Myhrr
and the lifts all click and whirr
Sleepytime Donald, sleepytime ,sleepytime,
He's a concorde junkie,
reaping Disney carnage
in his virtual world tonight
Tonight,
And he's playing that game again, yes he's playing that game again
The one where we fall and fall and there seems to be no end to it all
One pill to sleep, two for oblivion
As the night chill grips his soul,
and he's playing that game
Where we rise like a thermal
and we close our eyes to see
What he's got for you and me
Ahhh........ Tonight,
Command your three D battles, destroy dominate.

Age of Stupid
05:24
|
|||
It’s the age of stupid
it’s the age of stupid
All hail the perpetrator of death
a feeble failing apparatus
under the impression of flight
but just crashing, crashing to the ground
at the end of a stupid fall
it’s the age of stupid it’s the age of stupid
Where the sun can turn us back from stone
into the rivers and streams
The thundering clouds and singing trees
what turns in you turns in me the same
it could have been that way
the curve of our bellies touching together
it could have been this way.

Calling out to those who see
That after this Catastrophe
We must have a Green rebirth
Happiness and Peace on Earth
We're a Real Force of Nature, of Nature
Children of the moon and sun
this is your rebellion
born of love the future Star
know yourself for who you are
You're a Real Force of Nature
You're a Real Force of Nature
And they say it's okay it's alright
the future's bright
but we say, it's not okay, it's not alright
the futures bright because it's burning
A Shooting Star of red and gold
the greatest story ever told
We sign our names across the sky
Because this world must never die
We're a Real Force of Nature,
We're a Real Force of Nature,
We're a Real Force of Nature,
We're a Real Force of Nature,

The Bridge
03:33
|
|||
Build a bridge out of thin air,
Make it go from here to there,
Make it go from here to there
Better make it really strong,
So the world can walk along,
So the world can walk upon
Take a bridge and make it yours,
Bridge of laughter bridge of sighs,
Bridge of laughter bridge of sighs
Build a bridge from love and care,
No more lonely sad despair
Build a bridge from here to there
A bridge to the higher ground
To the sunlit pastures
So close to the sky
Build a bridge out of the air
Make it go from here to there
Make it go from here to there
To the higher pastures the higher pastures
