1. THE BLUSHING BRIDE

I hear you and I see you,
You're my dream and my nightmare too.......
You're gracious and kind and out of your mind,
And you're loose on the decks of the world,
A sweet little thing all covered in sin,
Moving in rhythms and swirls
You're what we love best, you're the flame of the west,
And you burn in the light of the moon
Thirteen at the feast, the pearl of the east,
And we've all learnt to dance to your tune....
Come inside
Open the doorway wide,
Welcome, welcome,
Won't you come in?
Step aside
Here comes the blushing bride,
Welcome, welcome,
Won't you come in?
You're kissed and caressed, you're beauty possessed,
And your eyes play a game with our minds,
It's hard to think straight, when you're staring at fate,
And can't quite believe what you find
Exquisitely dressed, like a fairy princess,
It's a story that we've all heard tell,
There's a sly little grin as you're folding your wings,
But are you from heaven or hell?
I hear you and I see you, you're my dream and my nightmare too.......
Come inside
Open the doorway wide,
Welcome, welcome,
Won't you come in?
Step aside
Here comes the blushing bride,
Welcome, welcome,
Won't you come in?


2. WALK AWAY

Morning comes, Morning goes
Leaves me restless, no problem solved
Hey this is life
This is my life
Cradled by simple thoughts
Blinded by the light that sparks
This hidden life
My hidden life
If the sun falls down on me
I won't stay
But if the clouds rain down on my feet
I won't walk away
Fall to break, laugh to cry
In the place I do not like
This twisted life
My twisted life


3. HOLLOW

In the darkness
My eyes are open
In the darkness
I see your shadow
In the darkness
There's room for hoping
But in the darkness
The shadows closing
Once you filled my life
Showed me the only path the follow
But it was all to gain my confidence
And eat away my soul
In the shades of reality,
You showed me what I wanted to see
Then left me hollow
In the darkness
I hear you coming
In the darkness
My heart is thumping
In the darkness
I think maybe this time
But in the darkness
The shadow passes
Once you filled my life
Showed me the only path the follow
But it was all to gain my confidence
And eat away my soul
In the shades of reality,
You showed me what I wanted to see
Then left me hollow


4. HUMAN ZOO

Preen yourself
Fifteen yourself
Dream yourself
Widescreen yourself
Clean yourself
Machine yourself
Gene yourself
Demean yourself
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
See the animals
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
We're all so lovable
Animal criminal fictional cannibal
Literal fallible musical Oedipal
Chemical radical skeletal visceral
You you you you you you you you you
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
See the animals
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
We're all so lovable


5. A HARD ROW

Watch us crawl across your TV screen
To beg for food and water
The role of God, it suits you well,
Who lives, who dies, who's slaughtered
Laughing voices on the radio,
Tell how much you gave us,
For all the good that you think you do
Your charity won't save us.
Dream on, dream on,
There's a long way still to go
Dream on, dream on,
It's a hard row left to hoe
Endless sun and cloudless sky,
But heaven has a price.
Without the rain to feed the land,
It's hell in paradise.


6. VOLCANO

So many things you never show
But behind your eyes teardrops explode
So much weeping, so much weeping,
So much weeping,
I can taste the salt upon your skin
But the sulphur burns you from within,
It's another lesson learned,
Another lesson learned the hard way.
So many words you never say
Silent and tongue-tied gives you away
So much screaming, so much screaming,
So much screaming
Oh, you're screaming in your dreams
Where the sulphur burns I feel you bleed
It's another lesson learned,
Another lesson learned the hard way.
[Falling in love is easy, it's staying there that's hard
Too many empty promises, too many broken hearts
And when the earth moves are you sure that you can cope?
Can you hang on to your dreams, hold on to your hope]
So many things you're afraid to give
Live to share and learn to share to live
So much weeping, so much weeping,
So much weeping
I can taste the fear upon your skin,
Where the sulphur burns you from within
The hardest lesson learned,
The hardest lesson learned the hard way.


7. I GO TO SLEEP

Now, I close the door,
Shut out the night
Banish the weight of the world
Till the morning light.
Now I lay me down
Tired from the day
Who knows the way of the world
Until I awake.
Now I close my eyes
Hope for dreams so deep
Safe in the cave of your arms,
I go to sleep.
