IN THE CORNER OF SOCIETY
SITS A WISE OLD MAN
A GUARDIAN OF DECENCY
IN A WORLD GONE MAD
HE SEES THE BOYMEN RACING BY
IMAGINARY GARLANDS ‘ROUND THEIR HEADS
ENDLESS WORDS DRIPPING FROM THEIR LIPS
THEY DON’T HEAR HIM SAY:
SEE THIS BUNDLE OF STICKS
STRONG BECAUSE OF ITS MIX
ALONE THEY BREAK JUST LIKE TWIGS
DON’T UNTIE
THEIR SOARING EGOS AIMING HIGH
THE WISE OLD MAN IS ON THE GROUND
FROM THEIR FLIGHT ACROSS THE SKY
THEY NEVER HEAR THE WISDOM IN HIS WORDS:
SEE THIS BUNDLE OF STICKS
STRONG BECAUSE OF ITS MIX
ALONE THEY BREAK JUST LIKE TWIGS
DON’T UNTIE

Consider this
Consider that
The fugitive inside my chest
will never give me rest
Nightingale sing me a lullaby
Sing me a song
Reflect on this
Reflect on that
The waves inside me twist and turn
And drive me round the bend
Nightingale sing me a lullaby
Please sing me a song
Nightingale sing me a lullaby
Please sing me a song
Nightingale sing me a lullaby
Please sing me a song
Consider it done

Short Cuts

So much water so close to home
The Tempest
Extremely loud and incredibly close
Short cuts
Fear and trembling
Short cuts – short cuts
The little mermaid and
Kafka on the beach
Nocturnes
Gravity’s rainbow - Gravity’s rainbow
Gravity’s rainbow - Gravity’s rainbow
Short cuts – short cuts
So much water so close to home
The Tempest
Extremely loud and incredibly close
Short cuts – short cuts
The sense of an ending
Short cuts

No Man Is an Island
03:37
|
|
||
|
Sending out a message – wrapped in hope
From these shores across the sea
A message in a bottle – that’s my hope
Maybe there’s an answer for me
Every hour of every day I wanna know
I wanna know: Do I stay – or do I go
No man is an island – famous words
Count for women, too, I think
Every man and woman – part of the main
There will always be a link
Every hour of every day I wanna know
I wanna know: Do I stay – or do I go
Every hour of every day I wanna know
I wanna know: Do I stay – or do I go

Ignorance Is Bliss
03:32
|
|

Where ignorance is bliss, it’s folly to be wise
If ignorance is bliss, then blessed be the fool
He wears his halo, he wears it proudly
But his halo is really his horizon

Nothing More Mellow
03:45
|
|
||
|
Move an inch closer
Pour your body on the floor next to mine
Cuddle up in the warmth
Of the sun spilling onto the pine boards
Nothing more mellow
than sun through Venetian blinds
I'll pour us some wine
like a sun-kissed sea in your hand
drink up the sunshine
and loll in the calming waves
I feel like waltzing
with you - in the sunshine
Waltzing with you
in the sun through Venetian blinds
Nothing more mellow
than sun rays through blinds
Nothing more mellow
than waltzing with you

Last Orders
02:44
|
|
||
|
Last orders, please, the bell is ringing out
it's time you wrap it up
it's time you made it home
Last round for me - eyes are on the door
Last round for me - and then I'll sail away
The music's fading out and it is quiet now
And soon the polyphony has died
Last round for me - eyes are on the door
Last round for me - and then I'll sail away
Last round for me - and I'm guided by the stars
