Most of the sheep on this hill will toe the line.
But I can’t get a hold on number 29.
She will try to buck the trend
And find a way right out of this pen (but)
She ends up right back in the lions’ den.
Hello my old friend
Seems we are condemned
To forever burn
Ewe and I will never, ever learn.
All of your plans can come undone
With a lack of vision and a slip of the tongue
A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men (but)
Only a fool would do it again and again.
Hello my old friend
Seems we are condemned
To forever burn
Ewe and I will never, ever learn.

Green Arrow

She took my heart to the wreckers
She knew a guy there
It left me chilled to the marrow
Looks like the cat caught a sparrow
And I'm still waiting on a green arrow
She told me all kinds of things
She told me she cared
But her promises, they were shallow
Just a goodbye and a hello
And I'm still waiting on a green arrow
(CHORUS)
Green, green
Green, green
I'm waiting on, I'm waiting on a green arro - ow
Green, green
Green, green
I'm waiting on, I'm waiting on a green arro - ow
Bright lights in the city
Sirens and stares
I'll keep on pushing my barrow
Keep it on the straight and the narrow
And I'm still waiting on a green arrow
(CHORUS)

I envy the starling - gregarious and charming
Beautiful, fancy and free.
A sweet murmuration in coordination
You murmur sweet nothings to me, and…..
Oooooo you come and go
Drifting to and fro on the wind.
Ooooo I love you so
As you ebb and flow with your wings.
You rise like a phoenix, swarm in a helix
Spiralling round as you fly.
Birds of a feather, flocking together
And painting shapes in the sky.
Oooooo you come and go
Drifting to and fro on the breeze.
Whoooooo could ever know
How you ebb and flow with such ease?
Oh to be so interconnected
And lost in it all
Oh to feel so calm and collected
As empires rise and fall.
Listen my darling, be like the starling
And spread your wings

One Like You

Looking at the facts but the case is thin
when you look at all the reptiles I let in
warnings written ten foot tall
you'd think I got no judgement at all
but then how did I end up with one like you
Hangin' round Preston town,
living in a loose end dressing gown
and a mind permanently unmade
locked up tight and so afraid
But I was dreaming of one like you
Slept in a little while
toes peeking out and they made me smile
outran the black dog blues
I crossed the ocean to hit snooze
and lie here in Taichung with you

Woke up this morning to a mountain view
This town is really something but it’s nothing without you
Well I know I drove you crazy and you drove me crazy too.
But now I’m driving nowhere with these Puli blues.
This town is so pretty but I feel so ugly inside.
I’m down here in this basin and I wanna be high.
Everybody’s paragliding up in the sky
But I’m feeling so low that I wanna cry…
I got the Puli blues
Well I can’t get the memories out of my head
I got too many bedrooms and a double bed
I need someone to hold me its been nearly a year
I got 2 pussy cats but there aint no pussy in here
If my heart is so big then why I feel so small?
I’m surrounded by butterflies but I’m a fly on the wall.
Someone give me something to make me tall.
Don’t ask me how I’m feeling I feel nothin’ at all.

When you're young you'll find
just cos someone makes you lose your mind
doesn't mean they'll lose theirs
doesn't mean they'll lose theirs for you
and it's a common fear
when you are alone you'll disappear
and who you are is just what people hear you say
and see you do
(CHORUS)
Alright, alright
habits form you, routine sets inside
inside, inside
watch the one that watches in your mind
coming to a pass
die for a word, don't dare to ask
maybe she'll say something
something that will pierce you through
something that you did
force of habit not so easily hid
do you think she made a note in her big black
book about you?
(CHORUS)

I had a first lover
and a love bigger than any other
I remember her brand of cigarette
but as for her touch...
I forget
The past used to be a splinter
I prodded and poked with a tweezer
For her I once cried tears of regret
now my eyes are dry...
I forget
I forget
(Chorus)
Well I'm livin' here in the future
you're not missing anything
it wouldn't suit ya
it's just a broken picture on my TV set
and when I think of you
I forget
I forget
(Chorus repeats)

All Of Your Demons
03:00

|

Close your eyes, turn out the light.
There’s no-one that can hurt you tonight
That voice in your head, the ghosts of your past,
All of your demons are tied to the mast.
When we kiss, we make sparks.
Remember this when it gets dark.
Throw down your arms, turn off your mind
Leave all your devils and monsters behind
The shadows are gone, the phantoms are dead
There are no skeletons under your bed.
When we kiss, we make sparks.
Remember this when it gets dark.

You Know What You Are

There is a man, he gets what he wants
he gets it because
he know what he wants and he finds it
there is a trick- stick a thought in your head
when you think it is dead
it's there breeding under the surface
(Chorus)
Ahhhh
You know what you are
the past is a-real alright
I met a man, traveled east and west
but to him the best
thing he saw was his own reflection
I met a man, in one place he remained
but the reach of his brain
it covered all of the world's surface
(Chorus)
