Overflow

I want to hold you like a Shiva
take an arrow from my quiver
protect you from yourself
protect you from yourself
I want to drink all the water that's touched you
anoint myself your lover
steal you away from any other
steal you away
I need all that sacred water
that's caressed your skin
so I can float in the overflow
overflow
I want to see you on the island
where the dogs fly from the roof tops
and the people are so gentle
you are so gentle
I need all that sacred water
that's caressed your skin
so I can float in the overflow
overflow
You're free to walk this world in peace
release is just a blink away
I want to drink all the water that's touched you
anoint myself your lover
steal you away from any other
steal you away

Fleshy Fleshy Pink Pink
04:23
|

Girls want to show it
boys love to grow it
I took some time to really know it
was my secret destiny
I'm riding down to St.Kilda
these freaks are browner than the dirt
why deny that we know we'll find
just one kind
deep inside
Fleshy fleshy pink pink
(translation from Amharit)
The flesh and blood of every man is the same colour inside
She wanted time to be cured of fleshy fleshy pink pink
but skin is deeper than she thought
so I gave her mine over and over
til she became my convert
when we are sweating
then we know that sex can be more than a reflex
Fleshy fleshy pink pink

Gavriel
04:53
|

Olive, pine and carob line the sea
it's hot today again
everything is slow
but me
Gavriel
the Sharkia's outside your window
Gavriel
there are good signs in the stars tonight
And i'll take you there
we'll ride a unicorn
and maybe I can show you how to hold on
and as we stare in to an endless sun
you'll feel the light and space and you are one
Spring has brought you out of your cocoon
emerging on a fragrant night
and a full moon
Gavriel
the Golan is watching over you
Gavriel
there are good signs in the stars tonight
And i'll take you there
to where
you want to go
I'll tell you anything that you want to know
my baby girl i'll roll the magic carpet at your feet
I'll take you there
we'll ride a unicorn
and maybe I can show you how to hold on
and as we stare in to an endless sun
you'll feel the light and space and you are one
How did you know that so fast?
leave something for later
so I can keep pretending that you need me here
The fields are stretching, ready for a sleep
the jackal's song sounds sweet tonight
while you count the sheep
Gavriel i'll watch and guard you
all of your days
And i'll take you there
to where
you want to go
I'll tell you anything that you want to know
my baby girl i'll roll the magic carpet at your feet
I'll take you there
we'll ride a unicorn
and maybe I can show you how to hold on
and as we stare in to an endless sun
you'll feel the light and space and you are one
My baby girl the whole world awaits you

Umbilical
02:44

I met this girl a life ago
the biblical fox from outer space
the sea the night the sweet sweet flow
I flew her home and dreamt of her face
I prayed she'd make my world feel right
and guide me safely home at night
fill my eyes with her warming light
and guide me safely home
Sailing ships and shifting sands
and eating four leaf clover
helping me to understand
the need to turn things over
I prayed she'd make my world feel right
and guide me safely home at night
fill my eyes with her warming light
and guide me safely home
The hardest thing I said was
"good bye ol' Umbilical"
settle in to fluid equilibrium
cos if you give too much
then it's not real love
Boy and girl stand on the ground
astounded at their innocence
the wisdom gained from falling down
has made us only present tense
She makes my small world feel so right
and guides me safely home at night
fills my eyes with her warming light
and guides me safely home

We Are Dust
08:48
|

Snowdrift blanket
whiteout
all is still
the Golden Snowman blinks
and makes the kill
he melts and vanishes
exit stage right
the trail went cold when they declined to fight
we are dust
Who can stand and stay the fall of man
consequence be damned
conscience the plan
he started by weeding his back yard
chemicals at the soil
his focus jarred
we are dust
Body sinking deep in to the ground
roots emerge and find some life around
Mondrian and Georgy Best
pushing up the grass
just like the rest
we are dust
While our earliest dreams come unstuck
and then replaced by preaching
"who gives a fuck"
to be light isn't hip
on this suffering fool's ship
is this why we were given a soul?
I give up, I don't know where we're headed now
Someone turned the lights out in the West
after all the bleeding hearts had been caressed
we don't need enemies anymore
there's only one thing that's guaranteed in store
we are dust
we must look inside not above
our only hope is love

Hey Maddy
03:28
|

Apple juice gets me high
it's just as well
that I live in Devondale
and drawing pictures in the sky
my art teacher said " nothing sticks girl find another job"
So I keep shaking my zippy cup
telling the cat that
"G+Ts on the porch in 5
and mama's gonna be cool while she's alive"
I like to dress up when I read
maybe a beard
will round out the ensemble
I'm caught like Madame Bovary
apparently
a woman breeds and breathes if she has time
So I keep passing the hat around
telling the milkman
I'm not his baby
but thanks for that it should see me through the night
Well I couldn't make up my mind
you said you'd be back tomorrow
so I just padded off in my koala suit
No I never make up my mind
and now your lips are touching mine
well.....at least in my mind
Hey Maddy count to 10 before you speak
Now I'm really looking down
for something blue
I think it was my brain that fell
I'll find some soap and get a rag
maybe some rouge
and you and I can luge to Santa's lap
So I keep passing my heart around
dollar a bag at closing time
if you open your jacket
i'll slip in like a love ninja and binge you
on my supersonic love

Pillow
04:03
|

Scuba armadillo
clinking chunks of ebony eyes
she don't want a pillow
just a longer lasting 2nd prize
from the way he waltzed it made it hard to leave
so she hid her face in the dampness of her fraying sleeve
Whither sinking feeling
carried her away on a cloud
she don't want a pillow
just another chance to shout out loud
emotional declension
did he mention he would not foot the bill
Sabotaged and cold her old life was now flowing downhill
Stay home
flee
cos Rome is burning and the way is dark
please stay home
Dancing in the mirror
tripping on where he drew the line
she don't want a pillow
give her dignity to start the slippery climb
all this sorrow doesn't just belong to you
suffering is fine if your fortune is mine to share too
Stay home
flee
cos Rome is burning and the way is dark
please stay home
I could be your brave
how long must I wait in your cave?
I could be your bone
you hold to fight your way back home

Soon
04:40
|

Soon it's going to be here
reverberating radiating
captured on its journey through the dark
Soon it's going to be here
gushing supernova
drawing people to their light
like animals to the ark
Soon it's going to be here
colors melting
senses pounding
cataclysmic splash
the primary spark
Soon it's going to be here
soon she's going to see him
the moon will light their way to the park
Soon it's going to be here
Venus cues this sweet commotion
tap in to the ocean in our hearts
Soon it's going to be here
soon she's going to see him
the moon will light their way to the park

Gatsby

Adorn yourself in shine
and catch the morning quirk
living for a brood of 5
and fitting in the work
at the end of the day
you look around your hole
did you get very far
lost your soul on the greasy pole
Absolved of all your guilt
in the afternoon's embrace
in your cups by the beach
unashamed and off your face
then the phone starts to ring
and desperate duty calls
with your world in deep shit
and not much room left to fall
Attach a small white lie
to every pigeon sent
making sure the money flows
even if the truth is bent
as you fall in to bed
the halo's looking grey
and the last thing she said
"did you sell some dreams today?"
" I don't want you to stress
but we're down to our last cent
though my parents traced the call
the hostage money's gone and went
come down you silly boy
it's blue skies all the way
i'll buy you another toy
you'll be so glad you stayed"

You can never shut me up
you can't shut me down
you can never shut me up
stop me making my sound
this is my sound
You don't want me
walking around
you don't want me
stand up proud
you don't want me
to draw a crowd
but I can do my thing
every man must be allowed
You can never shut me up
you can't shut me down
you can never shut me up
stop me making my sound
this is my sound
You'd have my face hidden by a cloud
or wrapped in sackcloth
a dead man's shroud
begging on my knees
down face bowed
but I can do my thing
every man must be allowed
You can never shut me up
you can't shut me down
you can never shut me up
stop me making my sound
this is my sound
I'm gonna to speak my mind
I'm gonna to talk it out
I'm gonna shake and bake and take it to the hoop
I'm gonna speak my mind
I'm gonna talk it out
I'm gonna shake and bake and make it to the truth
Coal is gone
this uncut jewel
won't drop the ball
play the fool
I'm gonna take you back to school
I'm a man
you listen

Rising Sun
04:45
|

Nothing in life can remain
rejoice in the sweetness
breathe through the pain
Hard as it is to control
the mind must let go
to free the soul
We can't replace the one we lost
we must carry on with our lives
So we embrace the rising sun
and remember our fallen stars
Where do our feelings reside
where do they go on the final tide
I'm calling you over the sea
this blessing I whisper
so tenderly
We can't replace the one we lost
we must carry on with our lives
So we embrace the rising sun
and remember our fallen stars
