Time To Die
My eyes have gazed upon things
You couldn’t even imagine
Neon storms on the airstrips at Sales Marsh

I saw hope in King Gomez Cape of eyes
Before the Ten Year Fog

Alas these things will disappear
Like shifting sands in an ocean’s bed
Time to die
Time to die

2. Sugar Bullets

Hey Chairman have you heard the news
The red man just got the blues
From sucking on sugar bullets

Hey Chairman look over the wall
The little man is walking tall
From sucking on sugar bullets

Well I never thought I’d see
The sun set in the East
Or the walls come tumbling down
So let us drink to missing friends
And call them to the feast

We’ll bury the broken bones
Under the precious stone

And it just goes to show
Nobody knows what’s in the future
And it just goes to show
Nobody knows at all

Hey Chairman don’t look now
The new man will not kow tow
He’s sucking on sugar bullets

3. Heaven Or Hell

[Verse 1]
The master asleep in his chamber
The beggar asleep in the door
The man In the moon
Says „I’ve seen this production before“
The prisoner dreams of escaping
In about to a far away place
The stars in the sky
Say „Look up and we’ll show you the way“

[Chorus]
Heaven or Hell
Sometimes you just can’t tell
So we keep on walking

[Verse 2]
Look at the news in the papers
I can’t believe all the things that I see
Progress is taken for granted
But it’s a lie, you can take it from me
Civilisations lie swallowed up in the sand

[Chorus]
Heaven or Hell
Sometimes you just can’t tell
So we keep on walking
Walking, oh-oh-oh

4. Laughing at the Rain

I see a face, a shade of grey
When you’re in this game
It’s if the price you pay
Hey what’s it all about anyway?

When you’re losing sleep
’cause the ghosts won’t hide
If you can’t compete
Take a walk outside
Shame do you think that you can
Pick up all the pieces

You say the sun don’t shine
That’s when you’ll find me
Laughing at the rain

Just like a dice the big wheel spins
I’m telling you now that there’s
Nothing to gain
If you lose or you win
Relax there’s nothing you can do
About it anyway

Well there’s an open road
If you don’t look back
So forget your bets and get on that track
Hey you haven’t got the time to waste

5. This Town

I want to know the secret
Of life and the universe
So I asked of Caesar’s daughter
But she didn’t say a word

Now the word was there beforehand
Before all the evil speak
It’s both what you say and how you say
And sometimes it sounds so cheap

But I don’t care what you say
It’s in the brainbox
It’s in your brainbox
It’s in your dreadlocks
It’s in my red socks

I asked the Delphic Virgins
What’s in the stars today
And I grabbed a slightly lapsed one
And took her home to play

Now that was no solution
To my enquiring mind
Her thighs had not the answer
I was trying to find

6. Southern Mountains

I’ll take you down
Down to Southern Mountains
Where streams wash away our sins
In water from Heaven
And you will be with me
In that play place by the sea
A dream

I know
I must have been here once before

Send me back
Back to Southern Mountains
There I just was
Instead of always being
And you in your way
Made me long for other days
And dreams

I know
I must have been here once before

And was your mother always beside you
When you kissed me
I thought I saw shadows
Creeping past your eyes
Maybe they were mountains

8. Gain Entry to Your Soul

Gain entry to your soul
Gain entry to your soul
Well I tried to succeed
To fulfil this great need
And gain entry to your soul

I defy any guy to penetrate
That stealy gaze
Well I’m the man who thinks he can
Get through one of these days

Repeat chorus

Men have tried to I’ve seen them hide
She’s likened to Medusa’s head
But behind that ice inside those eyes
There’s a frightened little girl instead

Repeat chorus

And if you want me
You know where to call
And if you want me
I’ll give you my all

Closer to that mystery
You try so hard to hide
I think this time you’ll realise
There’s no escape
It won’t be long and I’ll be at your side

9. Grand Canyon

I’ve been standing on the poor man side
Looking across the great divide
At the people with the money
But they never look across at me

I see things that you wouldn’t believe
The respectable man taking money like a thief
And he don’t give a damn
For the mouths he could feed

Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon
The space between us gonna break my heart

There’s the man who thinks different from me
So he had me thrown in his jail
He talks a lot about freedom
Then he throws away the key

And here’s a man with a different coloured skin
You know he’s suspicious of me
He thinks I’ll steal his wife
He thinks I’ll steal his colour t.v

Repeat chorus

There you are on the other side
Walking away from me
I call to you
But you can’t hear the word I say

10. Wet Afternoon

Hands around a circle
In the candlelight
Now a childlike voice comes
From the other side

There behind the curtain
I saw something move
I couldn’t tell for certain
Maybe it was you
She wants to speak to daddy
But daddy doesn’t come
We only try to help her
We mean nobody harm

Keeping dry on a wet afternoon
This is no place for tears
The table turns on a wet afternoon

God has mighty powers
No one can explain
He chose us for his agents
To help our fellow man
They say it’s an illusion
What we do in here
And for the richest pocket
We are the most sincere

11. Never See

Never see the beauty of a man’s heart never see
Never see the truth in the lies between them never see
All they see is colour of a man’s skin
Thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings

Never see the promise of the future never see
Never see they foster their confusion never see
So many twisted meanings their words can’t explain
And thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings

And you’ll never see, never see another man’s sorrow
Did you ever read, ever read another man’s story?
Plus ca change will guarantee the same tomorrow
If progress is forgiving
No progress has been made

Never see the man with his family never see
Never see the pride they can’t deny him never see
All they see is colour of a man’s skin
Thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings, the wings

Never see, never see, never see oh! oh!
Never see, never see, never see oh! will!

Thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings

12. Leave It to the Dogs

London is my town
But now the wise man stays underground
Above the creepers creep
And a steal our spirit while we sleep

Ancient photograph
In sepia days our mothers laughed
But now the face is blank
They take it all and give none back

I’m gonna leave it to the dogs
Let them pick the bones
Gonna leave it to the dogs
I’m going home

Beneath the skin of saints
Little devils of worm their way
Into our sacred heart
And so the seed that tears first us apart

Repeat chorus

London is my town
But now the wise man stays underground
Above the creepers crawl
And tear the house down wall to wall

13. Vicious Circles

She sure digs the cut and thrust
She loves the sound of noses busting
Just like her mama always said
It goes with her head

And she thinks it’s just amazing
When she cuts somebodys face
Just like her mother always said
It goes to her head

She likes to move
In Vicious Circles

Daddy was the law which may explain
The way his daughters acting
She likes to bite the hand that feeds
She bites to the bone

And you’ll never find her in the school
That girl is far too cool

Now Shes gone to scratch that itch
She’s fallen to bits

She likes to move
In Vicious Circles
