Eleanoré 05:08
ELEANORE LYRICS She steps quickly off the 68 bus Sweeps her hair from her face Kicks off the dust The latch on the door is metal and rust Stoops to pick up the post on the mat Stares at the letter Benjamin Franklin stares back from North Carolina, in black FROM FAITH, CAROLINA TO LAVENDER HILL WOMAN TO WOMAN BOTH STANDING STILL She runs quickly through the gap in the trees Stops, takes aim and shoots, Quickly reloads her Springfield Her rifle is hard to conceal Calm descends on the battlefield Confederate soldiers move through the trees To the west Drops her gun to the ground As she sees the boy With the flag and the blood on his chest FROM FAITH CAROLINA... Two moments in history The Atlantic between Lost in the ashes Of what might have been FROM FAITH CAROLINA...

All I Want 04:30
ALL I WANT LYRICS I'm bored said the child As she laid down her spoon I'm bored said the child As she frowned at the moon I'm bored said the child Let me out of this room I'm so bored I'm tired said the mother As she lay down on her bed I'm tired said the mother As she put her hands to her head I'm tired said the mother And I heard just what you said Cos I'm so tired ALL I WANT – IS TO DO SOMETHING ALL I WANT – IS TO GET A LITTLE PEACE ALL I WANT – IS TO BE SOMEWHERE ALL I WANT – IS TO BE RELEASED I'm hungry said the man As he flopped into his chair I'm hungry said the man As he ran his hand through his hair I'm hungry said the man Don't you even care That I'm hungry ! ALL I WANT .... Look out there said the child pointing at the sky Look out there I see flying things waving me goodbye Look out there said the Child as she asked the reason why Living things must die and she began to cry Look out there ALL I WANT .... I'm bored, I'm tired, I'm hungry I'm bored, I'm tired, I'm hungry I'm bored, I'm tired, I'm hungry Look out there !

WHERE ARE YOU NOW LYRICS Low is the sun in the sky High is the moon in the heavens Slow does the great oak grow But far too fast does this life go WHERE ARE YOU NOW? WHERE ARE YOU NOW? Green is my childish dream Blue is my song for you Red are the words I said And black. black, black is the you I lack WHERE ARE YOU... Cold is the edge of the fold Warm is the heart of this storm Deep is my drifting sleep Why did our paths collide WHERE ARE YOU...

Just Wasted 03:55
JUST WASTED LYRICS Not dead – just wasted It’s time – you faced it Can’t even – get pasted This joint – I can’t case it I’M WASTED – OH SO WASTED NOT DEAD – OO! JUST WASTED Not dead – just wasted It’s time – I had a facelift Got a boyfriend – he’s a bassist Don’t break my heart, I can’t replace it I'M WASTED... Got a car – you can’t race it Got food – you can’t taste it Got a call – you can’t trace it Got a floor – you can’t pace it Take a step – you can’t retrace it See a face – you can’t place it Got a shoe – you can’t lace it Not dead – just wasted I'M WASTED... I know I still can get around I know a pulse can still be found I know I still can make this sound Not dead – just wasted Got a turkey – I can’t baste it Got a rocket – it’s in my space-kit Went to NASA – they defaced it Not dead – just wasted My inner self – can’t embrace it My family – I disgraced it This life – I misplaced it I'M WASTED...

I do not want a breakfast tray brought to my bed I do not want a sprig of lavendar where I lay me head I do not want some DJ playing a record in my name No bathroom in the bedroom, it's too late to play that game IS IT ME? IS IT YOU? Do not leave me flowers under the windscreen wiper of my car Do not post me letters saying how sorry you are Don't you call my phone again cos I'll ignore your call How dare you lean a ladder up against my bedroom wall IS IT ME? IS IT YOU? Pissing my name in the snow Tickets to see Sheryl Crow It's all I wanna do but without you I'd rather be with a washing machine repair man - yeh yeh yeh! IS IT ME? IS IT YOU?

Downfall 03:29
DOWNFALL LYRICS Rain's coming down, fields are flooding Whatever you do - it isn't any use River's rising, things washed away All we can do is sit on the roof (All we can do is sit on the roof) Roads are closed - we can't get through Though we try there is nothing we can do Last December - six foot under This time it's worse - we just sit on the roof (we just sit on the roof) DOWNFALL THE RAIN DOWNFALL FOR US AGAIN WATER, WATER ALL AROUND AND THAT RAIN KEEPS FALLIN' DOWN WATER, WATER ALL AROUND AND THAT RAIN KEEPS FALLIN' DOWN AND THAT RAIN KEEPS FALLIN' DOWN They don't come to look at the water They don't see what it's done to this place Whatever they think now, whatever they say now Whatever they do now it'll be too late Last time - just the same Took us months to get ourselves back here again Now it's happening, happening all over You wouldn't think there could be so much rain (You would not think there could be so much rain) DOWNFALL...

Dr Dinosaur 07:25
DR DINOSAUR LYRICS In a lab on a hill, in a lab coat the dinosaur stood In the jars on the shelf were samples of rock, glass and wood In one was the form of a human, a fully grown man Let’s open it up an find out whatever we can We'll start with the questions that bother us most in our minds Use the clues on his body which he has left us behind How did he live, and more, how did he die? Was it violent or gentle, but overall why? THE ANSWER'S VERY CLEAR THE ANSWER IS RIGHT HERE THERE FOR ALL THESE YEARS HE DIED OF FEAR It appears he sustained outward trauma from multiple force His skin appears blackened, his hair is burnt, short and coarse Of the many bones broken the one which is frighteningly clear Is his skull it is shattered - see, here ear to ear Any one of you care to hazard a guess to the cause? The students looked worried. Not wanting to risk it they paused 'Til one eager candidate, Thomas Rex, lifted his arm I'd heard about something, but thought it was all fake alarm THE ANSWER’S...

WHAT WOULD ELVIS DO LYRICS Well it's not that easy To mend a broken heart When it's cracked and black and blue You told me we should part Well baby - what would Elvis do? I know you had those cheating eyes I was blind to every clue How could I know that they told lies Well honey, what would Elvis do? WHAT WOULD ELVIS DO? WHAT WOULD ELVIS DO? I have lost my eloquence Think I'll go insane These thorns twist in my chest This pounding in my brain Its not easy to shake you from my mind Its like I've lost a blue suede shoe WHAT WOULD ELVIS DO? WHAT WOULD ELVIS DO? Darlin', what would Elvis do? If he lost his blue suede shoe? What would Elvis do? With a heart that's oh so blue ....
