Listen, listen to me
Open your arms
Come set me free
Hold, hold onto me now
Don’t let me down
Just do that for me
And please Listen, listen to me
Open your arms
Come set me free
Hold, hold onto me now
Don’t let me down
Just do that for me
Please
Listen

Love Me

You know I just can’t seem to figure out
If it’s something that would please me
Is it really something that I can’t live without?
No one ever said this would be easy
Pulling back once again from the starting line
I catch myself in thought again
It’s not like it’s only been a short time
Since I thought I was near the end
Love me baby, love me just for what I am
Love me only as much as you can do
Love me, love me as if you have no other plans
Love me as if I were new
I wake up feeling more than just alone
Sunlight is streaming through my open window
I comb my hair just to feel a little close to home
Where that is I just don’t know
Love me baby, love me just for what I am
Love me only as much as you can do (baby blue)
Love me, love me as if you have no other plans
Love me as if I were new
Love me, love me baby
You know hope often dies where it’s born
In the mirror I can see what I can never be
Maybe I won’t have to wait quite so long
For someone to help me see
Love me baby, love me just for what I am
Love me only as much as you can do (baby blue)
Love me, love me as if you have no other plans
Love me as if I were new
Love me baby, as if we were just what we are
Love me love me the whole while through (whole while through)
Love me, love me as if we have no other plans
Love me, love as if we were new
Baby
Love me

Lunch of Losers

There’s a way
To be free
That’s what they
All told me
You gotta hold
To what you own
They say it’s yours
And yours alone
But there’s a piece of me
There’s a piece of me
There’s a piece of me
There’s a piece of me, inside of you
A wealthy corpse
Is quite the same
As one buried
In a pauper’s grave
So think real fast,
And look around
You’re surrounded
You’ve been found
And there’s a piece of you
There’s a piece of you
There’s a piece of you
There’s a piece of you, inside of me
Open you
Open me
Open you
Open sesame
There’s a line
That we don’t cross
So they avoid
Profit loss
Or loss of head
That they hold dear
Watch the necks
The time is near
Paint it red (paint it red)
And there’s a piece of me
There’s a piece of me
Oh, there’s a piece of me
There’s a piece of me, inside of you
There’s a piece of you
There’s a piece of you
There’s a piece of you
There’s a piece of you, on the street

Don't You Worry, Now
04:24

My love is like a hurricane
She blows me away each time
My love is like a sunny day
In the middle of the night
But don’t you worry, now,
Don’t you worry, now, no more
Said don’t you worry, now
Don’t you worry now, at all
My heart is breaking up
She’s breaking up inside of me
My heart has had enough
She just wants to be free
She don’t worry, now
She don’t worry now, no more
She don’t worry now,
She don’t worry now, cuz she’s gone
I’ve been waiting for most my life
For a moment like this
I’ve been waiting and I’ve been trying
For someone else to catch my drift
But every time the moment passes like this
My kind just don’t make it out
They don’t ever seem to succeed
My kindness just ends in pain
Wounds they tend to bleed
But I don’t worry now
I don’t worry now, no more
I don’t worry now
I don’t worry now when I fall
I’ve been waiting for most my life
For a moment like this
I’ve been waiting and I’ve been trying
For someone else to catch my drift
But every time the moment passes like this
I’ve been waiting for most my life
For a moment like this
I’ve been waiting and I’ve been trying
For someone else to catch my drift
I’ve been waiting for most my life
For a moment like this
I’ve been waiting and I’ve been crying
Hopeless tears for all I’ve missed
But every time the moment passes like this

Pyrite Fiction

Who’s the lucky one
Who always gets along?
And who’s way down here
Smoking the dust they clear?
The beasts of burden drag their weight
No wonder that they’re always late
Who will save us now?
The ones who own the plough?
And where-ere-ere-ere can we turn to, when it all falls through?
Aren’t they the ones that bring us down?
And yet you think they’ll help us now?
Fool’s gold, you’ll believe it when you’re old
Fool’s gold, you’ll believe it when you’re old
Who-o-o-o-ooo?
Who-o-o-o-ooo?
Aren’t they the ones that keep us down?
And yet you think they’ll help us now?
Places sunk where they never sink
People drunk who never drink
I know – ain’t how it should go
If you force heaven where there isn’t one
You’ll make the moon block out the sun
And we’ll go down below
Don’t trust people who sell you gold
Don’t trust people who sell you gold
Why would they sell what they want to own
Why would they sell what they want to own

Foreigner
03:31

I got a feeling that things ain't right
Its all those dreams that I left behind
But I go
Where I go
And it’s all I can dare to speak, as the floor
Crumbles down beneath
Incomplete
I have always been a foreigner
That’s the way I’ve been assigned
I have always been a foreigner
In body and mind
It’s all fine, until it’s not
When I’m reminded of what I haven’t got
And I can see what I can’t be
Birth is a funny thing, with all the junk that it brings
Wrong place wrong parts
Right state of mind
I will always be a foreigner
That’s the way I’ve been assigned
I will always be a foreigner
In your mind
(stop)

Where We Began
03:17

So you dyed your hair
Since we last met
How's it suiting you?
Does your blonde hair make you feel any less blue?
Where you going to?
Can I come with you?
I know I can call
But it's not the same at all
Don't be afraid to lay your head down
Where we both began
Don't be afraid to lay your head down
Where we both began
All the missing out
Been too long without
Glad I miss my friends
But when will all this torment end?
Don't be afraid to let yourself down
That's where we began
Don't be afraid to let yourself down
That's where we began

Move where you are, now
Move where you are, now
Keep your head in place and grow out all your strands
All the best laid plans…
You’re alright where you’re now
Don’t be afraid
Did you get enough
Sleep today
But I can see
There's nothing here for me
And the nights too dark
Parked Kevin at St. Kevin’s Park, tonight
Move where you are, now
Hold your ear down to the ground and hear
All the lies we told our friends
Half measures, all just means to ends
For sure
I’m hoping you can speak
Now your mouth is closed
No need to be afraid
You’re all alone
But I can see
There’s nothing left for me
So I’m going down
Listen please, I’m Sally Pilgrim now
Move where you are
Move where you are
My mother she won’t believe
The words I speak
When I complete
Oh mother I’m still the same
I haven’t changed
I’ve only re-arranged
My oldest friend
Has been hoping that it will end
But the more I breathe
The more life enters me
But I can see
There’s nothing left for me
So I’m going down
Listen please, I’m Sally Pilgrim
Now
Oh, the mess I’ve made
Where is my place?
Listen now, I’ve come unstuck in space

Last One Out
04:42

This town has a way
Of driving me back to my pain
I played on your rooftops and your bars
Thought I’d be your star
But you never got me very far
I’ve come back now for one last stay
I’ll be the last to leave today
There’s no one left to say goodbye, they’ve all gone away
And you’re the only one here left to blame
I’ve spent too many lonely nights
and now it’s time for your last rites
Will the last one out please close the door and shut the lights
She looked but could not recognize
Her own daughter’s very eyes
But we could all still see her smile
Happy or confused
Whats the difference, whats the use?
I think the worst part of all
Was feeling nothing at all
I knew I should’ve cried
When I heard she’d died but
I guess I was preoccupied
She could barely even fight
When it was time to alight
So will the last one out please close the door
Will the hole in me please love no more?
And will the last one out please close the door and shut the light
