CD 1 - THE GREATEST VIEW


1. THE GREATEST VIEW

You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here

Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view


2. PINS IN MY NEEDLES

Follow the tides
Drown in your headspin
Forget the world tonight

Leave all my joys
People are plastic
War with elastic knights

And I know how you feel in the night
Do you know how I feel in the night?
'Cause I know why I feel all the
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you

Face down hose
Pay them with love
'Cause money is hollow
This time is not for self emotion
Comfort motions
Hard to notice

And I know how you feel in the night
Do you know how I feel in the night?
'Cause I know why I feel all the
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you
Pins in my needles, pins in my needles, you ...


3. TOO MUCH OF NOT ENOUGH

She tripped on a hole
That I dug in the soil
To be part of a human garden

I couldn't stand
In the straight postured sun
But you stood in the mud
But you came and saw
When I came along, when I came along
When I came along
See you never stop needing
You never stop needing

A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
All we need is just a taste

I strap myself in for a safe saccharide
Before we'd start in the train
To be anything I saw fit
And it all seems to fit
But you came undone when I came along
When I came along, when I came along

See you never stop needing
You never stop needing

A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
A close look at something so close
Too much of not enough
All we need is just a taste

Now what flies
And shallow truth
Broken stakes
And stolen youth
I've seen too much of not enough
But you came much closer than you had before

And you never stop needing
You never stop needing
You never stop needing
And it's good for nothing


CD 2 - WITHOUT YOU


1. WITHOUT YOU

Miles Away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out.

Old incisions refusing to stay
Like sun through the trees on a cloudy day

Telephone
Socially scared and impaired
If the trees will bloom the wind can blow
Without the fruit falling out

Feels like the wind blows
Holding you with us
She takes no other
False light and ashes
Blooming like winter
Dry eyes and cracked lips
Under the stone wall
Withdrawn and wishless

You brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
But I've waited for you so I'll keep crying out
Without You


2. ASYLUM (NON-ALBUM TRACK)

Contained in my cotton crib
Where I feel no turbulence
The ocean sleeps upon a shelf
And it feeds my apathy
But I can feel it in the night
Like rain upon my skin
Inside a winter
Would you begin to splinter
If I decide to recognise my thorns

Cause everytime I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water
Til it turns me around
To my own asylum

Dry in the day
And fading away in the night

I feel the sun before it's light
And it fades away into the night
I was afraid, I feared myself
I cleared the shelf
And killed the shame

But I can feel it in the night
Collect the rocks
And throw them over borders
To shake the muddy waters
And clear myself
From hiding every thorn

Cause everytime I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water
Til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day
And fading away.........

And we grow in a garden
Where all that we know
You're just a fool for him.

Cause everytime I see your face in a cloud
I feel no violence
So tilt the water
Til it turns me around
To my own asylum

Dry in the day and fading away
Dry in the day and fading away
Dry in the day and fading away
................in the night.


3. HOLLYWOOD (NON-ALBUM TRACK)

In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell in love with the war
Well he´s only your god

I'm the first male lesbian
I feel less being jaded
The gayest straight boy that you'll ever meet
And I meet everyone only not in the flesh

Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration

We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in

In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell on love with the war
Well he's only your god

Heads tied to a rolling sculpture
Limp feet proceed to hold me up
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
Now that you've come home


4. RAMBLE (NON-ALBUM TRACK)

When I find my thoughts
It seems I'm losing myself
In the dark of my mind
And the ocean of time
So I read between the cracks
In the time that I write
But the salt water's dry
And the pain's in the sky

Give me something real
Something I can feel
Because the truth feels like a movie

All you do is ramble
Discard your life for shambles

Ramble
To break the silence
Open up and ramble
To break the silence and open your mind
Leave it behind you

No longer engaged
To insecure scars
'Cause nothing's secure
It's just kept behind bars
And I love everything
You've learnt to ignore
But you don't want to hear
If you've heard it before

I'll give you something real
Something you can feel
You take your life and make of it what you can

Open up your mind
Think about all of the things you were never shown
Open up your eyes
Think about all of the things you were never shown

'Cause all you do is ramble
So light another candle


CD 3 - LUV YOUR LIFE


1. LUV YOUR LIFE

Thrust the candle to the dark of your disease
Burn the fishplate execute ill memories
Labyrinth of sympathy in which I'm lost and can't leave
And too much truth overshadows the lime lies
And what lies beneath the clouds is an
Altered perception and I'll pay for sanity
But sanity don't come cheap

You don't know the truth and I love your life
Flinch against the fire but this ain't winter
And I'm all by myself the way I wanna be
Where I'm content to be to be all by myself
But frozen eyes are bound to melt.


2. THE GREATEST VIEW (ON ROVE [LIVE])

You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here

Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view


3. WITHOUT YOU (ON ROVE [LIVE])

Miles Away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out.

Old incisions refusing to stay

CD 4 - AFTER ALL THESE YEARS


1. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Breathe in the night
That crushed a tired sunrise
Born again the day
Brings young naivety

A laptop souvenir is worth its weight
In silver a golden son
You'll be home again
And I'll be home again

Mend in my sleep
I'm boxing under water
Waddle on the wake
Waking on a summer day

After all these years
Forget about all the troubled times
Munificent, artless and ascetic
Playing like a scared
Enthusiastic pawn

And every father's pain
Casts a shadow over a broken son
You'll be whole again
And I'll be whole again

All those years
I was hurting to feel
Something more than life


2. ACROSS THE NIGHT (VAN DYKE PREMIX)

Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping
And hugged a man's arthritic shoulder

I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean
Your eyes perspired, a spike in my fascination

I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings

Sleepless, untamed without a leash on the light around me

So let us be married and have another baby
Coz I don't wanna be lonely I just wanna be alone
Yeh let's just get married shouting baby, baby, babies
"You'll never sleep at all"
But I don't wanna be lonely

Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise
I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be alone


3. TUNA IN THE BRINE (VAN DYKE PREMIX)

I fondle keys to my heart when everyone's heart
Seems so calm
And you found the lock
To my dorm and opened the door to my trust
Fund…. my vestry
The light in my darkest hour is fear
Denies me of anything good sooo…….
Don't lose your heart you'll need it
You'll have to take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine.

Take everything that you're not and don't be so
Scared to tamper (temper) with (temper) "tampered with" evidence (tamper)
Coz you'll come along for the sun if you come at all
To lose your heart you'll have to take, take and take.

Painting a lie seeing the colours but you seem
Closer to everything

Closer now than we ever have been
We're closer now than we ever should (we) be
Closer now than we've ever been before
Closer to everything

Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble fables aren't changing many things
It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine
For my pregnant paws aren't changing anything
To all of the animals who keep sipping the sweat
From my back,
You're making me ill
And
I can't get enough
So take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine.
