Dervish
02:57

What would you have me do?
Lie down and die?
With sand in my hair
And thorns in my side
Boy, you're going topsy turvy
Whirling round the round-about
There goes the dervish whirling
Down
Boy, you're going topsy turvy
Whirling round the round-about
There goes the dervish whirling
Down
I am empty
As the sea
Get away
Just get away from me
If I am the sea
Then you are a stone
And together we stand
Together alone
Our faces are hard
They are bleak and they are bare
Still I love
The silver in your hair
Boy, I'm going topsy turvy
Whirling round the round-about
And there goes the dervish whirling
Down
Boy, you've got me topsy turvy
Whirling round the round-about
There goes the dervish whirling
Down

Cold Comfort
03:48
|

A late night
In early May
In the mud
I found my way
And it's a cold comfort
A cold comfort
A cold comfort
Indeed
Took a shower
Got clean
Lit my pipe up
With benzene
And it's a cold comfort
etc...
All the screamers
On the coast
Will tell you lies
I raise a toast
It's a...
Got a heart-ache
Got saved
I lost my papers
Start again
It's a...

I want
What I can't have
And I want
You
You, you
All of you
I want
You
This is my love song, love song
To the ground, so fair and round
Bringing me down
Bringing me down
This sound
That you hear
Is the sound of my
Desire
Seeds of ire
Of my desire
Sown in a bed
Of fire
This is my love song, love song
To the moon, so out of tune
Watching me now
Watching me frown
I want
What I can't have
And I want
You
You, you
All of you
I want
You

Legend of the Beast
04:54
|
|||
|
In a frozen lake
Deep beneath the castle
Some forbidden creature
Stirs
Why do you hunt the beast?
Why do you hunt the beast?
From within the abyss
Come ungodly cries
Why do you disturb my slumber?
Why, the beast cries
The beast has no need for your gold or your kings
The beast has no hoard for your plunder
The beast has no reason to rattle its cage
The beast is content in its slumber
In a silky field
Out beyond the castle
The leaves are turning brown
The world is curling down
Why not dream of sheep
Why not dream of roses
Why not let it sleep
Why do you hunt the beast?
Why do you hunt the beast
Now

Let Me Have This
03:07
|
|||
|
Clear out my eyes
'cause I need, need to see
You sit by the edge of the water
And look at me
Let me have this
Let me have this
Let me have this
One, one precious
Let me have this
Let me have this
Let me have this
One, one precious thing
Walk through the walls
Of my mind, space and time
In through the waves, going out
I can feel something shine
In the blue dawn
I am rolling on the floor
Tell me some lies
I can't take anymore
Let me have this
Let me have this
Let me have this
One, one precious
Let me have this...

The Autumn Has Arrived
04:21
|
|||
|
The autumn has arrived
All cold and hollow-eyed
And I tilt my hat to the sky
Pray for rain
So these truths can be said
He's just a boy, the prodigal son
Jack of all trades, master of none
Turn and look the evil you've done
Turn and see the evil you've done
I float, I float like water
I sink, I sink like stone
The pieces of my puzzles
Are mine, and mine alone
You laid me down to rest
My head against your chest
With cold arms and cold hands
Cold desire in poor demand
So these truths can be said
I float, I float like water
I sink, I sink like stone
The pieces of my puzzles
Are mine, and mine alone
The autumn is now here
And we are filled with fear
Lie to shiver in our linens
The red letter creeping into
Our skins...
Our skins...
Our skins...
The autumn is now here
And we are filled with fear
Lie to shiver in our linens
Lie to shiver

The Bazaar

The market! The market!
The bazaar
Come out and see it
Wherever you are
The sights, the sounds,
The noise, the smells
Fiends and devils from
The pits of hell
Against a backdrop of
Fiddle, bass, and strings
Stands the monkey man
And his tambourine
Dance, monkey,
Dance
Learn to stick a dollar
Down your pants
Sing, monkey,
Sing
You know how I love it
When that little bell rings
Dance, monkey...
With bare feet! The sand!
Is in our hair!
With bare feet! The desert!
Will strip us bare
His club foot lurches,
His timid eyes shine
He lifts his head to sing
praises to the skies
Against a backdrop of
Fiddle, bass, and strings
Stands the monkey man
and his tambourine
The market! The market!
The bazaar
Come out and see it
Wherever you are
The sights, the sounds,
The noise, the smells
Fiends and devils from
The pits of hell
Dance, monkey,
Dance
Learn to stick a dollar
Down your pants
Sing, monkey,
Sing
You know how I love it
When that little bell rings
Dance, monkey...

Wanderer

I am not a wanderer
I am not a prince
I am not a wanderer
I have killed men
And I don't
Know the way
I don't
Know
I am not a wanderer
I am not a prince
I am not a wanderer
I have killed men
And I don't, I don't
Know the way
I don't, I don't
Know
And I don't, I don't...

I Just Wanna Dance
01:45
|
|||
|
Just let me go, the man cried
It's true you took me for a long ride
But I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
Some people say that
The only way to
Achieve what you dream is to
Say what you mean
And I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
Lost in your fixtures
Your numbers, your pictures
Your angels, your demons
Your prizes and your semen
And I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
If you don't know where to
Go when you're lost, then just
Sit by the side of the road
Don't get caught, you will
Know by the feel of the
Rain on your face that you're
In the right time, you're just in
The wrong place
And I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance

Fanciful You
02:43
|

|
You
You ride
Your horse
All around the town
You
You bring
your baby
To term
Why didn't you pick me?
Why didn't you pick me?
Why didn't you pick me
I've been waiting here
You
In your big hat
You
With your fine gloves
You
You eat
Your snickers bar
With a knife and fork
Why didn't you pick me?
Why didn't you pick me?
Why didn't you pick me
I've been waiting here

Lullaby For Fools
04:07
|
|||
|
The party's over
And the guests have had their fun
It's close to dawn now
And our tired eyes search for the sun
We shared a bottle
And linked arms beneath a sea of stars
You smiled so gently
And you held me tightly in your arms
Hold me, hold me
Like a rag doll in your arms
Smile so brokenly
Remind me of your bitter charms
Hold me, hold me
Like a rag doll in your arms
Bind me, remind me
That time cannot heal our scars
You told me of your plans
You wished me no ill
You had no secrets
For cynicism cannot kill
And I told you stories
But I held the truth at bay
Love is beautiful
but we all have a part to play
And I, I need so badly to believe
I, I need so badly to believe
I, I need so badly to believe
I, I need so badly to believe
We drank the dregs
And when the bottle was all dry
We drank the bitterness
And left like dogs to lie
Your touch was infinite
Our bodies had no end
Until the morning came
Bitter and sick
Hold me, hold me
Like a rag doll in your arms
Smile so brokenly
Remind me of your bitter charms
Hold me, hold me
Like a rag doll in your arms
Bind me, remind me
That time cannot heal our scars
And I, I need so badly to believe...
