Lyric | Song Title |
An ash or an oak is the oldest of jokes when the lightning puts us back on our knees | |
Think I'll fight a war, I don't know what for, but I'll learn when I've got my gun | |
You know life isn't always like the end of your novels | |
The eyes we're given give us sight of one another in the light | |
Gonna sweep this house clean out, gonna blow out all the lights | |
There's believing and there's taking off your hat | |
When what you see is gospel, the gospel isn't free | |
I am the masked rider, give me some grace | |
Love, food, and money do all the trade in this town | |
Just a lonely radio, just a makeshift show and tell | |
Kiss me here and kick me there and lovers might be friends | |
Got a fistful of questions, not an answer to hand | |
It's a stout heart that catches the rain | |
Are you going to tomorrow, are you headed home? | |
Please put me down where my heart meets my mouth | |
And the sun brings me through, and the moon drives the waves | |
I never knew shame to be so refreshing | |
Stay in the light, Joe, stay with yourself | |
In the last days of my life, oh I won't know whether to laugh or cry | |
It's a shame that you were broken, I knew your other face | |
I said 'Bring your dark eyes, honey.' She said, 'You bring yours.' | |
We've been pruning your grave since the day you locked your door | |
The end wasn't funny, though we'd all had fun | |
I never knew a part of you you didn't set in ink | |
| Lyric | Song Title |
I'm done with my dying | |
Burned by day, marooned by night, lost in a battle and found in a fight | |
All balmy was the winter air all wet with what might die | |
Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse | |
The bartender looks like George Best | |
For all the time you lived you dreamt, and having always came you went | |
Pray for the people inside your head, for they won't be there when you're dead | |
The funeral pyres burned the last of the meek | |
We're a village of babes and I'm over the moon | |
I'm unusual through and through | |
We shared the experience of being alive and then we took some tea | |
A will to enter in is in the opening of an eye | |
I'm in denial of one or two things, and three or four besides | |
The twilight is keeping us close to the stars | |
Sweep my mess away, leave my body, leave my bones | |
There's a bright side of the moon that isn't anything of wealth | |
There's love on the motorway, shame on the farm | |
I'll see another star | |
Steal a kiss from fortune's lips | |
I remember you well from before you were born | |
A single song, a chorus song, a symphony, sans right or wrong | |
I should be someone else but you wouldn't know me if I was | |
Did you learn just how I loved you? Did you see how far I'd been? | |
Now the spheres of your loving are cast adrift to the shores of another land | |
|
