Summers Gown 03:27
Summers gone but I don’t want you to go because I’m still dreaming of the sweet summer glow We'll catch the rays of the autumn haze spending lazy days on our own Watch the morning light explode on the ground Paint the city white then dance through the town And catch the breeze sailing through the trees playing on the leaves, dead and brown Move through the night shining love and light Pining for the sight of summers gown Well morning broke to find me caught in a dream and as I woke, I still clung on to the scene For I was wide eyed, full of youths pride On a ride and seventeen Move through the night shining love and light Pining for the sight of summers gown Summers gone but I don’t want you to go Summers gone but I don’t want you to go

Expression 02:15
Time time time I reconnected the lines, away Go go go through the crowds so stubbornly slow, today Find free autonomy, expression dies alone Days freeze to history, concession to the unknown Drive drive drive what it is to just be alive, with you Go go go to the undercurrent below, into Our free autonomy, expression dies alone Days freeze to history, concession to the unknown Drive drive drive what it is to just be alive with you Go go go through the undercurrent below, with you Days freeze to history concession to the unknown Find free autonomy, expression dies alone Expression dies alone

Ghosts 03:49
I live and breathe in time with you A world away from all you do I sit and watch the time go by Not thinking how, not caring why I thought it was you creeping in the night But its only ghosts now, that and tricks of light How I wish it were true, nothing else is right I could feel again with you, I was real again with you. I stand alone beneath the sky Upon the ground in which you lie Inside a place where I can see You rapt in peace withheld from me I thought it was you creeping in the night But its only ghosts now, that and tricks of light How I wish it were true, nothing else is right I could feel again with you, I was real again with you. Now I know it was you creeping in the night But you walk with ghosts now In and out of sight Now I know it was true and how I see the light In everything I do I walk along with you.

Hey You 02:34
Hey you looks like you're going out somewhere your mood has changed, your eyes are strange and I don't move you anymore Hey you whats that new colour in your hair? And brand new shoes, you've yet to use but tonight they'll be dancing on the floor And all that I'm to do is walk away, walk away But i can't turn my eyes from yesterday Hey you I recognise that devil smile You used to smile, once in a while If I'd walk into the room Hey you I recognise your glistening eyes They used to shine, from time to time But now I fade them all too soon And all that I'm to do is walk away, walk away But i can't tear my eyes from yesterday Hey you I see your stopping out tonight The moon is bright, the stars your light But how's that gonna make it right

1961 03:11
Within my home and family where I came from A search for liberty, 6 generations long Nothing ever gets me like that picture of the fall My brother painted on the station wall With all the old hostility within the town The brothers drunk and wild, forever running round They’re hiding in the hills from the fighting in the sun They’ve had the streets since 1961 But we’ll all go together Upon the rising tide Singing songs to each other Across the ocean 50 years wide Take me to the place where liberty was found Take me to the place where we were underground I understand on my plot of land the crops still grow beneath the thieving eyes of someone I don’t know In God’s name we were banished from the neighbourhood In my mind we were sent away for your own good Nothing ever got me like that picture of the fall That once stared from the knocked down station wall But we’ll all go together Along the mountainside We’ll embrace one another For those of us who’ll perish on the ride We all went together A convoy 50 miles wide Made a pact with each other To never say we saw the other side We all went together Wasted barely alive Singing songs to each other The songs that sang the story of your life The songs that sang the story of your life

Where do we go from here, Ah we can only go down, down, down Down amongst the crowds that grovel round Beneath the buzzing stations and underground When all I really want is to believe in all the things that don't wash with me Like living your whole life inside a role until you cannot climb out of the hole Ah you, why are you always so unamused Can't you let yourself go You could go so far Talking to you I see myself lying in your eyes But just as the reflection disappears I only see your eyes awash with tears when all I really want Is to believe in all the things that you give to me But when I open up my arms to let you in You only talk of what there might have been Ah you, why are you always so confused Can't you let yourself grow You could go so far Taking a walk around the town underneath the stars and passing every sin soaked sodden door I only would have knocked upon before I carried on and left a little part of you outside each cold black hole Until the place I once hid you inside Was spread across the whole damn city wide Ah you, you and your sweet, sweet lies are excused Along with your pleading eyes, so bemused It always the same old rise, interfused With anything money buys You just went too far

All she wants is crystal fountains coffee mountains and rain All she see's is Seven Breezes Cold ice freezes the pain Now you sit at the bar with your pills in a jar and your body line twisted with pain Your American car with no stripes and no star Driving round in the Jokers Parade
