Civilisation 04:05
lyrics
buy track
We rise… Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Nation to nation, who can you trust? Clouds in the heavens, rivers of rust Fear in the valleys - hate, envy, lust Civilisation Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Brother to brother, there’s no one to trust Sulphurous horizons of the unjust The voice of the people silent and hushed Order from chaos, Create or destroy Gentleness? Violence? Divide and deploy Knowledge the pathway of sympathy’s man We must learn from history It’s all part of the plan Civilisation *Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short.  Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Nation to nation, who can you trust? Clouds in the heavens, rivers of rust Fear in the valleys going for bust Civilisation No one is safe Time is so short The hunter the hunted Survival the sport We must rise against the forces of darkness wrought There is power in beauty in the songs we bought Bringing order to chaos, we create not destroy We fight hatred with love What we learn makes us strong We crush the spirit in the rivers of blood This is not what we’re here for… There is nothing more powerful than love! Civilisation We rise…

Don't Look Down 04:17

Don’t Look Down You should have listened when we told you Love was all we really need You should have listened when we told you You should have paid us far more heed You should have listened when we told you Love was all we really needed You should have listened when we told you You should have opened up your eyes You should have listened when we told you But they filled your head with lies You should have listened when we told you That love was all we really needed Don’t look down We flew too close to the sun, mesmerised by the glistening ocean below us We soared and swooped, lost in our reverie Until the cold blue waters engulfed us Never forget… You should have listened when we told you Love was all we really need You should have listened when we told you You should have paid us far more heed You should have listened when we told you Love was all we really needed Don’t look down…

Headrush 04:07

I could be anywhere Anywhere at all Walking the streets Awaiting your call Leaving my body Soaring away Touching the light Is this the day? It’s life and death It’s the final breath It’s the temple bell It’s heaven and hell Headrush We do not choose the moment we arrive We do not choose how many nights Departure time remains uncharted Live fearlessly, And open hearted Until the final breath With your name forever on my tongue I could be anywhere Anywhere at all Walking the streets Awaiting your call Leaving my body Soaring away Touching the light Is this the day? And know that I loved you A lifetime long and more My star is above you Just watch how I soar Headrush

Heartquake! 03:34

Heartquake! I hear the thunder roar I see the lightning flash I’m on the road to heaven There’s no turning back Living in a prison on a mountain top For the first time ever I feel the pressure drop Now I’ve seen forever I don’t think I can stop We bypassed Goa but we found the sun Barcelona on a honey run I saw the chance but you had the gun The heat was on but we fell for fun So much heat let’s melt the street Let’s melt the street Let’s melt the street So much heat let’s melt the street And the Mama say… You’re giving me a Heartquake! And the Mama say… Do as you would be done by And the Mama say… So much heat let’s melt the street!

Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Take a thorn put it in your pocket Take a prayer float it on the air Cast a stone throw it in the ocean Watch the ripples going where they dare Take a storm seal it in a locket Take a T-bolt crackling the air Take a dove send it to the war zone Watch the life-blood spreading everywhere Take a thorn put it in your pocket Take a breath put it in the air Cast a stone throw it in the ocean Watch the ripples going where they dare Diddle diddle - puzzles and riddles Harum scarum, sixty six Strings of a fiddle - piggy in the middle Safe in their houses made of bricks Take a thorn put it in your pocket Take a prayer put it in the air Cast a stone throw it in the ocean Watch the ripples going where they dare Face a storm put it in your pocket Take the lightning put it in the air Take a dove throw it in the war zone Watch the love spreading everywhere…

Kashablankha! Balla Balla Balla Balla Balla Balla Balla Kashablankha! Loco Loco Loco Loco Hush-a-bye baby on the tree top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green; Father's a nobleman, mother's a queen; JC’s a lady, and wears a gold ring; RM's cool, and drums for the king Rock a bye Juliet under the covers Heart full of venom, starre crost lovers, Fathers, sisters, mothers, brothers Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers Plagues will rain on both your houses So button your breeches and zip the trousies Play it again Sammy boy Kashablankha! Georgie Porgie, Puddin' and Pie, Kissed the girls and he made them cry, When the boys came out to play Georgie Porgie ran away * Full fathom five thy father lies, His bones are coral customised Those are pearls that were his eyes Nothing left doth fade and die, Suffer a sea change Into something rich and strange  Play it again, Sammy boy Kashablankha! Boys and girls come out to play,  The moon does shine as bright as day;  Come with a whoop, and come with a call,  Come with a Willy or not at all  Lose your supper, and lose your sleep,  Come to your playfellows in the street;  Up the ladder and down the wall  A penny for your thoughts will serve us all  Down in the cellar where the light is fading Something stirs and the gin is shady Theres a girl I sometimes love And in the sky, heavens above! Play it again, Sammy boy Kashablankha! Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the King's horses, And all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty together again! Whitney, Britney, baby hit me One size all aint gonna fit me Kashablankha! **“What in heaven’s name brought you to Casablanca?” “…My health, I came to Casablanca for the waters” “The waters? What waters? We’re in the desert” “I was misinformed” Kashablankha! *(Ariel’s Song, The Tempest Act One) **(Rick & Ilsa’s words from Casablanca 1942)

Pilgrim 03:41
lyrics

Who would true valour see, Let him come hither; One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather. There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim. Whoso beset him round With dismal stories Do but themselves confound; His strength the more is. No lion can him fright, He’ll with a giant fight, He will have a right To be a pilgrim. Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt his spirit, He knows he at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies fly away, He’ll fear not what men say, He’ll labour night and day To be a pilgrim. lyrics: John Bunyan

Questions & Answers 04:34
lyrics

Here is a chair It used to be a nice chair But now the gilt has faded The brocade is torn and threadbare But it seems to serve their purpose It functions very well The plexus punch is cushioned adequately The cashmere scarf obscures the yell Here is a table The barley-twist legs are extremely fine There is some water damage on the veneered surface And bloodstains or maybe wine There are deep, pitted cosh marks That are thrown into relief in the arc light glow Steam rises from the open wounds For the water they use is as cold as snow How can I tell them if I just don’t know? Here is a window The view holds me in its thrall The shards of glass that lie shattered on the courtyard flags Will lacerate and give purpose to my fall Will they draw me back Before the white, before the black Will they crush my life in their calloused hands An empty shell with no worth at all Here is a house This house is far from safe This house is listening There are wires in the wall The doors are locked and bolted No one can hear my call No one can hear my thoughts There is no one home at all How can I tell them if I just don’t know?

Zsa Zsa (for Craig) 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Memories echo through the sun-dark alleys Sights and smells and sounds and kisses Moving eager ever onward Art and commerce reconciled Lost in thought he reminisces Moments frozen hard in limelight Warm, the sudden curtain call With virgin-like anticipation There he stands mascara fluttering Pools of light play on his hands Was it Barbra? Was it Channing, Was it Judy, was it Liza, oh no! Was it Peggy, Bette or Elvis Marlene, Mae, Tallulah, Or was it you? Who ever knew? You bared your soul to your disciples The chosen few Zsa Zsa, never Zsa Zsa Zsa Zsa, Zsa Zsa, never she Few compare to her pure glamour Hit the notes, hit the hammer At the Circus of Outrageous Let’s leave Zsa Zsa in the wings tonight Memories echo through the moon-kissed valleys Highs and lows and hits and misses Slipping slowly ever backward Love and passion undefiled Lost in thought she reminisces Moments melting into starlight Cold, the cruel paparazzi Flashback flickering greenback dollars There he stands, mascara fluttering Pools of light play on his hands Zsa Zsa, never Zsa Zsa Let’s leave Zsa Zsa in the wings tonight
