There's always someone, to take your place There's always something, to spend your money on You never find the time, to do what you wanted to You have other reasons, why you could never stop It's just a job, it's just a job to you And now I'm hanging, by the smallest thread And I'm looking, for a cliff to sleep on All this picking, through these wasted days Watch me change my shape, slip into another form It's just a job, it's just a job to you Let me take you to the fields Let me feed from your touch It's just a job to you…

Magnesium Man
Let me tell you about a man I once knew Bit of a strange one He used to keep snails in his bedside table Everyone used to call him the magnesium man The magnesium man shivered and buttoned his coat against the cold And he stepped outside.....outside He smiled as he looked up through the pale winter sunlight At all the meteor showers And taking that bag in his hand he turned the key in the door behind him And headed down the path into the road If you're lucky you might see him Standing on the corner As he passes by your front window pane If you're lucky,…
The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
The patient man sits silently On a bench by the ocean He's learning his lesson patiently The lesson of the sea He said "I've seen The light at the end of the world And now my friend You must make your choice Between the devil and the deep blue sea" There is a fire across the heavens At night when all is still It's just your imagination And only there can you be truly free He said "I've seen The light at the end of the world And now my friend You must make your choice Between the devil and the deep blue sea" With every footprint…
One Minute, or a Lifetime
...Whilst you were fast asleep last night And lost, within your dreams I got up from your bedside And I turned the nightlight out I had to step into the darkness At last I feel this sadness Lifted from my shoulders At last the weight is gone It's lifted from my shoulders I felt the voices speaking A man's life is short You will ask for nothing You will learn to heal All this fear at last is fading At last I feel this sadness Lifted from my shoulders At last the weight is gone It's lifted from my shoulders One minute Or a lifetime Is all…
Ask Yourself
Let me ask you Has anyone Has anyone felt like this before Let me ask you Do you care Do you care about anything at all Does it matter Does it matter to you should we try to talk If I was lost would you help me to be found Or would you turn your back and try to shut me out We're all human Yes human And being human we all have desire To be something Yes something Something that says "hey, I'm special too" If you were lost I'd help you to be found I'd never turn my back or shut you out Where do…
Skinwalker
I don't want to save your world and I don't give a That's right I don't give a 'Cos I won't help you no I can't help you You can't help those, who refuse to help themselves And I'm walking through your dreams With flaming hands 'Cos I'm a skinwalker, I carry the inner fire Skinwalker I bless the torture in your heart and I feel your pain Do you think I can't feel your pain? And I can't help you no I won't help you All this pain that hurts so much can only lead us to understand And I'm walking through your dreams With flaming hands 'Cos…
Oceans in Her Eyes
I'm lost within her blue green eyes And her cool clear water skin She's like the dawn that opens far out to sea Over silver shoals that gently rise on the tide Within the slow tide of her lamplight I watch the moths begin to rise Her beauty washes all around me I'm lost upon the oceans in her eyes She keeps the secrets to the ocean The secrets one day she'll set free She spins her web from threads of amber sun As she disappears into the sea Within the slow tide of her lamplight I watch the moths begin to rise Her beauty washes all around…
Leigh-on-Sea
I'm here In the empty faces walking on the pier I'm here Where the winter sunlight sparkles on the sea I'm here On the quayside looking out at all the fishing boats I'm here Like the breeze upon your pretty face When I come for you my love I will find you in your dreams I'll put fire in your hands And I'll drag you to the sea We will run into the foam Let the ocean take us I will set your spirit free I'm here I'm the wind blowing circles in fallen leaves I'm here I'm as restless as the sea, I cannot sleep I'm here In…
The Patience of the Sea
The Sky above me goes for miles and miles I blink and look up to the blue Beneath these wheels another open road And words I'm trying to forget All these faces looking down at me And those who will never see that smile again Will you come and take me home Will you heal these aching bones Will you take me far away from here Will you come and take me A year is but a day to them As they look down on us At our bedsides as we sleep They sit with the patience of the sea And as I dream she holds me in her…
Sands of Time
The blue blue ocean crashes painfully Upon a shoreline of broken shells I'm looking for somewhere to disappear To dissolve me from view And all this fire that burns around me Never cools All the ice in hell could never cure me Of this ill that's poisoning my flesh The Seasons change but these burning eyes Follow nothing but your foolish moves And all this fire that burns around me Never cools the fierce rays of the sun, infernal Have blackened the spirit I can't hide The drifting sands of time prey silent witness To the weakness that we're all afraid to die And all this…
Gone Fishing
The concrete skies hang heavy Over power lines, and railway bridges And flyovers, and orange streetlights And warehouse rooves, and factory units But, don't worry About me, or my sister We're out late tonight We're out late tonight We're sitting in the dark On the banks of the old canal Watching the stars, reflect on the water If you want to find us We're just waiting here For something to happen We'll be late tonight We'll be late tonight Just me and my sister We're out late tonight I love my sister And she loves me too But, if you want to find us Please don't worry We've…
Death's Head
I used to stand in your garden And watch the clouds of summertime rain In the distance over haybarns and cornfields I wonder do you remember my name Through the silence you could see out past the telegraph lines As the lightning in sheets crossed the skies I could see the wild flowers growing in the meadows And the trees swaying in the breeze The air in the evening was like rosewater And we'd watch as the thunder clouds rolled Never new it then but we were just starting We would never see those days come again Everybody needs an angel And everybody's got a devil by their…
The Crows Song
Today I've been talking to A crow Down by the old tin mine He's been telling me Of all the shiny things He found yesterday In the stream I talk to the birds And I talk to the trees I talk to the flowers I talk to the streams The crow He told me many things And of a polished stone The colour of fallen leaves He said if you have an honest heart It is a magic stone Upon it's surface the future will be revealed I talk to the birds I talk to the trees Won't you please stop the voices Won't you please take me…
If I could Live My Life Again
If I could live my life again I wonder which nightmare, I'd do differently this time Would I take her hand and never let it go Or would I watch her smiling back at me Forever from an album photo If I could live my life again Would I lie awake thinking of someone else's touch Or would I listen to your breathing as you sleep Or would I shiver with the dawn sitting in an empty room Let me carry you my love Across the oceans of your dreams I will take you to my secret place Let me show you to the margins of the world We…
Ghosts
I saw her reflection in a window When I turned, she was gone The rooftops and the deadbrick stretch for miles and miles Someday all of this will come down And the people walking by Look just like ghosts I passed a row of empty houses And a line of trees made of bone She held me for a moment in her watery eyes But the demon in me never sleeps My dreams are filled with open fields and rivers And she stands within a veil of autumn mist These office blocks and shops don't mean a thing to me One day all of this will be gone…
