Lone Dog

He was a lone dog
Forever locked in total recall
His mind a damp fog
A maze of roads for him to travel
Lost in the land of the blind the only one-eyed man
He sees the fire and the rain the demons in his brain are tried
He’s so high but still in control
His feathers unruffled and so aloof
High but still in control his feathers unruffled
And so aloof I can’t deal
Call him a messenger
A would-be seer who’s read all the signs
Never say never and from the ashes you will rise
Rescuer of all things grown and born
There are worst fates in this world than being alone
He’s so high but still in control
His feathers unruffled and so aloof
You say I’m stubborn
Oh yeah I’m manic moody and mean
Look at you cookie
Aren’t you messed up holed up and very very
high but still in control
Your feathers unruffled and so aloof
High but still in control his feathers unruffled
And so aloof we are through

Marylin

There was a girl called Mare
I fell for her laughter
The way she made people stare
Would set the house on fire
She hailed voices in her head
Marylin rocks the boat
Her father’s gone he left her
She knows in her heart and soul
He wasn’t kind or loved her
Some days she just wants to play
Marylin is high and dry
Humming to a silent cry
She loves the rain on a stormy night
Checks her heart if the beat is right
She hums to ease the pain
Marylin’s at the fair
She looks around in wonder
Buys candy floss to share
Walks through the house of horror
Inhales her hopes and happiness
Marylin’s life was short
She couldn’t stand the weather
Riding out of the storm
Until at last it took her
Away she longs for better days
Marylin is high and dry
Humming to a silent cry
She loves the rain on a stormy night
Checks her heart if the beat is right
She hums to ease the pain
(ma ma ma)
White coats in the drive
Marylin is high
Up there in the sky
She flies
Marylin is high and dry
Humming to a silent cry
She loves the rain on a stormy night
Checks her heart if the beat is right
She hums to ease the pain

Perfect Day
03:11

I wake up smiling on a perfect day
The sun is darting all its summer rays
Your shoulder's poking from under the sheets
I lean and give it a good morning kiss
You make me feel love is real in the things you do
You found a place in my heart long before I knew
Oooh Oooh it's what you do
Oooh Oooh it's what you do
I wake up frowning on a lousy day
My mind is spinning I'm in disarray
You turn and hold me dissipate the fear
My heart is steady long as you are near
You make me feel love is real in the things you do
You found a place in my heart long before I knew
Oooh Oooh it's what you do
Oooh Oooh it's what you do
Oooh Oooh it's what you do
Oooh Oooh it's what you do

Trinkets don't fix it
02:42

Baby I'm confused, you don't seem to realise
It's time to cut me loose, you just signed our love's demise
I got your letter you sent from Texas
You say we're strangers and I just don't get it
Baby I have news, ten years have gone by
You can't pick and choose what people grow up like
You buy me a trinket, think that's how you'll fix it
Don't care if I lose it, you know where you can stick it
Baby I'm concerned time is running out fast
You'd better watch and learn for now the die is cast
You liked me kinky, now I'm your roomie
Say that you're sorry, life ain't all duty
Now you've lost your cool well that's not a pretty sight
Don't take me for a fool, you're cheating on the side
You buy me a trinket, think that's how you'll fix it
Don't care if I lose it, you know where you can stick it

Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen
The world’s in a hurry to get somewhere
They don’t know where they’re going and they don’t care
Nobody wants to listen to the rain
Nobody wants to make time, quit the race
Wait a little, wait
For humanity’s sake
Turn around before it’s too late
Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen
You want to live your life in the fast lane
You want to be covered in golden glow
You don’t see the victims in your wake
You don’t know that dollars won’t make you grow
Wait a little, wait
For humanity’s sake
Turn around before it’s too late
Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen
Open your eyes and free your mind
It’s not about the distance it’s not wise
Throw away the disguise
If you care about the people do it now
Do it now, do it now
Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen

Sixteen

Remember how it was we had it good
With BFFs and jobs and kids in school
Now it’s like the world’s gone mad and no ones cares about breaking rules
And if you knew the world’s about to end
Would you change a thing or just go on
Caring for the little things like books and plants and soul food
Well I am just an ordinary girl
My life is plain and I complain too much
Laughing and disbelieving then clapping till my hands both hurt
Some days it feels like I’m still 16
Painting in the sky my hopes and dreams
Planning all the crazy things I’d do without the quarantine

Sick of you
02:58
|

|
Love is like the flu
You can't breathe, it's a fever
And I'm so sick of you
I feel drunk, but I'm sober
Darling when I'm with you you're the devil
On a high, it's wonderful
And then you leave me and I crumble
I could die, I feel awful
Wishing I could find a cure
Each time I give in
Another fail, I swear I'm done
But when you brush my skin
I can't resist my will is gone
Darling when I'm with you you're the devil
On a high, it's wonderful
And then you leave me and I crumble
I could die, I feel awful
Wishing I could find a cure
My soul needs to heal
A whiff of you and I'm drowning
Blue eyes made of steel
Are telling me to stop pining
Darling when I'm with you you're the devil
On a high, it's wonderful
And then you leave me and I crumble
I could die, I feel awful
Wishing I could find a cure

No Fly Zone
03:21
|
|||
|
Baby lately I’ve seen red
You’re not really there all up in your head
You give me fake smiles I don’t need
You’re building a file in your sleep
And the path is too straight, the city’s ugly
Nothing is right or takes your fancy
So can we go back, rekindle the spark
We’re so out of touch, I don’t know how far
And I don’t wanna turn around
This is my no fly zone
I’ll give it all I can
Won’t rest until I
Die - don’t wanna turn around
Cause my life is my own
I’ll give it all I can
Won’t rest until I’m gone
Baby I see you’re grieving
The time and the place of our beginning
They say love is blind and heals all
But deep in your eyes I only see scorn
And we walk in circles, we talk out of turn
You give me no trust, we fight like children
So can we go back, rekindle the spark
We’re so out of touch, I don’t know how far
And I don’t wanna turn around
This is my no fly zone
I’ll give it all I can
Won’t rest until I
Die - don’t wanna turn around
Cause my life is my own
I’ll give it all I can
Won’t rest until I’m gone
What if we’re not birds of a feather
What if the sky would look much brighter
What if we fall apart and fly away
And I don’t wanna turn around
This is my no fly zone
I’ll give it all I can
Won’t rest until I
Die - don’t wanna turn around
Cause my life is my own
I’ll give it all I can
Won’t rest until I’m gone
