How about getting off of these antibiotics
How about stopping eating when I'm filled up How about changing a line 'cause it don't make sense How about that ever elusive kudo Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence How about me not blaming you for everything How about me enjoying the moment for once How about how good it feels to finally forgive you How about grieving it all one at a time Thank you India Thank you terror Thank you disillusionment Thank you frailty Thank you consequence Thank you thank you silence The moment I let go of it was The moment I got more than I could handle The moment I jumped off of it was The moment I touched down How about no longer being masochistic How about remembering your divinity How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out How about not equating death with stopping Thank you India Thank you providence Thank you disillusionment Thank you nothingness Thank you clarity Thank you thank you silence Yeah yeah Ah oh Ah ho oh Ah ho oh Yeah yeah 02. Moment I Lost Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Here is the moment
And the coil has been unwound Here is the moment Nothing wears me down Here is the moment There's no need to pretend To think about the future When this moment ends Here is the moment Here is the moment Here is the moment Here is the moment Lfe just flows right through me Nothing really matters The freedom is just to breath Here is the moment When day begins to fade This will be the thing I treasure From all the things I'm made Here is the moment Here is the moment Here is the moment 03. The Day Before You Came Music & lyrics by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this Im pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, theres no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame The day before you came Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go Im sure I had my dinner watching something on tv Theres not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came 04. Please Come Home Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
My lost boy you've been lonely I know
I'll bring peace and I'll carry you home Please come home Please come home Make me whole Again You have once recalled harbour lakes You have sheltered from crawling astray Please come home Please come home Make me whole Again Please come home Please come home Please come home Please come home Make me whole Again 05. A Forest Music & lyrics by Smith, Gallup, Hartley, Tolhurst
Come closer and see
See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again 06. Four Trees Down Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Four trees down
I will wait Underground I've got time Warm earth weighs down in my lungs I miss the summer sun In the spring Footsteps fall Frail birds sing Insects crawl And I had so much to say The time just slipped away Known paths steels Where we hold Doubts appear Rain spreads gold Warm earth weighs down in my lungs I miss the summer sun 07. The Guitar Lesson Music & lyrics by Nicholas Currie
The pupil is twelve, attractive withdrawn
In a midnight blue school uniform Lips just a little too full for her face Distant eyes full of space In her posture no trace of coquette No defiance She fingers the frets looking forlorn Crossing her legs where her tights have been torn Starts as her mother comes into the room And the afternoon grows still And her mother feels a chill Shivers and buttons her coat I gently correct the curve of her back And open her book in the now empty flat At the classical piece I've had her prepare And her arms are bare as she plays And I draw back behind her ear A few strands of hair gone astray She shows me her bracelet, the lesson is done I turn it around between finger and thum We sit face to face and it seems to me that Her face is the face of a cat And touching the place where her breasts will be I press my hand flat She comes into my lap, I turn her around Her hands clasp my neck and her feet skim the ground Her skirt travels up under my palm But the pupil sits looking so calm As if listening to the distant sound of a burglar alarm. What happened next it's hard to recall The guitar lesson left no traces at all Now from afar it seems to resemble A strange composition in oil Of a man, a guitar and an innocent little girl 08. The Unquiet Grave Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Cold blows the wind to my true love
And gently drops the rain I've never had but one true love And in green-wood he lies slain I'll do as much for my true love As any young girl may I'll sit and mourn all on his grave For twelve months and a day And when twelve months and a day was passed The ghost did rise and speak "Why sittest thou all on my grave And will not let me sleep?" Go fetch me water, my true love And blood from out the stone Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast That young man has never known How oft on yonder grave, my true love Where we were want to walk The fairest flower that I ever saw Has withered to my stalk When will we meet again, sweetheart When shall we meet again? When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees Are green and spring again 09. Sign 'O' The Times Music & lyrics by Prince
Oh yeah
In France a skinny man Died of a big disease with a little name By chance his girlfriend came across a needle And soon she did the same At home there are seventeen-year-old boys And their idea of fun Is being in a gang called The Disciples High on crack, totin' a machine gun Time, time Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church And killed everyone inside U turn on the telly and every other story Is tellin' U somebody died Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it And we're sending people 2 the moon In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time Now he's doing horse, it's June Times, times It's silly, no? When a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants 2 fly Some say a man ain't happy Unless a man truly dies Oh why Time, time Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly Neighbors just shine it on But if a night falls and a bomb falls Will anybody see the dawn Time, times It's silly, no? When a rocket blows And everybody still wants 2 fly Some say a man ain't happy, truly Until a man truly dies Oh why, oh why, Sign O the Times Time, time Sign O the Times mess with your mind Hurry before it's 2 late Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy Time, time Time, time 10. Well You're Wrong Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Don't wanna see anybody
Don't wanna see anybody but you Don't wanna see anybody Don't wanna feel anybody Don't wanna feel anybody but you Don't wanna feel anybody Tell me how does it feel, when you want to be real But there's nothing inside? I wish I could explain Why the sound of the rain Brings you into my mind Whatever you think Well you're wrong Don't wanna need anybody Don't wanna need anybody but you Don't wanna need anybody Don't wanna leave anybody Don't wanna leave anybody but you Don't wanna leave anybody Tell me how does it feel, when you want to be real But there's nothing inside? I wish I could explain Why the sound of the rain Brings you into my mind Whatever you think Well you're wrong 11. Lord Of The Reedy River Music & lyrics by Donovan Leitch
Lord of the Reedy River
She fell in love with a swan Her eyes were filled with feathers He filled her with song In the reedy river In the reedy river She in her boat long hours He in his royal plumage She threw him some flowers In the reedy river In the reedy river Black was the night And starry She loosened off her garments And let fall her hair In the reedy river In the reedy river Sadly they mourn inside Lost in evening twilight Two swans glide And fly... O'er the reedy river O'er the reedy river She fell in love with a swan... 12. An End To End Music & lyrics by Steven Wilson
Dream cold
Let go Saint rose Don't go I will sing to you Stay near Cleanse clear Stay here My dear Saw there soul in showers Rain for hours Be still No will Fulfill Until Insect heavy dawn Find the spawn |
