1.Family
In a dressmaker shop in Greece
The pins stick like tongues on poles or butts in an ashtray
Lunchtime packages, waxed and wrapped and held
Down a dusty road, inside and apron ford
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
I know because I love them more and more
You know my grandpa brought power to the plains/planes
Now he winks at me from thirty thousand feet
Now my uncle's got his face
And he takes the power to a different place
Hey hey he's ok
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
I know because I love them more and more
In the Copenhagen city morgue
The dead sleep in metal slips
Called and last
And someone loved them once
And someone loves them still
And someone misses them
And someone always will
You know that it's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
I know because I love them more and more
2.Onliest
He sailed the seas to Normandy
He had the maps laid out
He had a boat and had a sail
'Jack's Girl' on his arm
But no one sees the stars so bright
No one swims alone at night
I'm missin' him like a heart attack
And Neptune won't bring him back
He watches over me the onliest
He watches over me
He watches over me the onliest
He watches over me
Deepness of the waving tide
All the sea is saying goodbye
And the moon dips aloof at four
The sea doesn't keep score
He watches over me the onliest
He watches over me
He watches over me the onliest
He watches over me
Sweetness of the salty wind
Depth of love when it just begins
A pint for me and one for you
Say a toast with all who knew
3.La Sirena
La sirena
You are heart in the waves
La sirena
You are heart in the waves
You are heart in the waves
Cause you are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
La sirena
You are heart in the waves
In the waves
You are heart in the waves
In the waves
Cause you are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
Yeah you
You are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
Yeah you
Are the end of me
Yeah you are the end of me
4.One Year A.D.
I had a routine
I wonder what I'll do today
I've got a feeling
I'll be doing the same things all over again
Again
So here, here I came
To present myself a newer hell
Face, body, and mouth
Place the mirror to me
In every episode, well
Bring all the spaces together
And all the silences ever
Bring all the spaces together
Come close again
Be my pause before the end
I miss you, oh, like a fading dream
And I have a feeling you know what I mean
Looking at pictures
The taste, the smell
Not the friends
And in our old kitchen
Record player never ends
They were once
But now no more
You know that it's real
And they were before
Nothing said and silence gained
And my body grows but heart lays
Blink hard and set it to ink
These items fade faster than you think
Feelin'low in a major key
Do they remember me now that it's one year A.D.
Bring all the spaces together
And all the silences ever
Bring all the spaces together
Build all the silences up
5.Monarch
The Queen had a feint had a fall
Don't give me ether or open my vein I'm sane
I know I'm sane
I don't give a care for the crown or the shield
I will not protect you or happily yield
To the one who makes me come undone
Who was born and in what way
All the fields and poppies ay
Who was born and in what way
All the fields
The Queen is walking away with only her stockings on
Waving having forbidden pears and song
Valiant and the colours are too gold
Colours of the morning old
Who was born and in what way
All the fields and poppies ay
Who was born and in what way
All the fields
Monarch now lay (your) jeweled head
Monarch now lay (your) jeweled head
Monarch now lay your jeweled
Monarch now lay your jeweled head
Monarch now lay your jeweled head
Monarch now lay your jeweled head
The Queen saw the beast in the ribs of the garden
Husband dear you are nearer to the eye
You're thrown places you wouldn't hold a pardon stroked
By the hand of God
By the hand of God
Through you is so cruel
Who was born and in what way
Who was born and in what way
6.That's what I say, it's not what I mean
Here I am, hopeful again
I can't say when
I wasn't this way
Don't need to worry about me
That's what I say
It's not what I mean
That's what I say
It's not what I mean
Here I am, swinging alone
A timeframe surrounds the pictures I hold
But they don't hold up well
Started to wonder if I fell in love with you at all
If I fell in love with you at all
And when will a time come
I could hear a sad love song, that doesn't speak to me
And when will a time come
I could sing a nice love song, using thou and me
Here I am, walking away
My head's held high
What's the use gettin' down
Because all that I wanted is here
I just kept the ground, close to my ears
I just kept the ground, close to my ears
And when will a time come
When will it come
Ooh
7.Flight #303
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Bring a lot of love
Bring a lot of love
Bring a lot of love
And you knew would be left way way waiting
Wear a yellow hat
I catch you fallen at the laundromat
See pilot soon
And even he would give you your
Flight number
Flight number
Flight number flight
Flight number
Flight number
Flight number flight
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
See a tailor soon
He'll call you on your life of silver spoon
No one gets a say on how to raise and in what way way way way
Put some faith in the apartment twine
Get red key and a door to lock up
I like to think I am a one way lie
So you don't wait until the time is right
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
8.Still true
I like my covers to be heavy
So I don't get cold when I sleep
My love affairs always seem unsteady
And I never go half-way when I weep
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me in your care
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
I'm still true
Take on my spine and spit shine it
Pull on my heart and unwind it
Fold my wings back off my shoulderblades
And peel me
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Take me anywhere
With you
Still true
9.The Mast
Found a place where I can be
All the things I want you to see
Take my hand into your hands
'Cause I come to you from another land
And I don't need to know your favourite artist's name
And I don't need to know what woman's felt the same
And I don't need to see you every single day
But I'd like to
Break my heart back into place
'Cause I've come to understand you more lately
And I've found a man inside your chest
Some will tear him up and I'll lay him some rest
Rest
And I don't need to know the details of your past
And I don't need to know when you thought of me last
And I would have to say if I'm the sail then you're the mast
And we've caught a good wind, the mast
Because you know me more than any before
'Cause you found the clues between me and you
You know me more than any before
'Cause you found the clues between me and you
10.New Torch
You are, you are
You are everything in time and space
Forget the face you knew
You are, you are
This was written in the afternoon
The ancient runes of you
Take a trip into the sky with me
Fly with me
You are, you are
You are everything I've always feared
And disappear from view
Take a trip into the sky with me
Fly with me
Be mine through time
This way leads into the garden green
Some nights I've seen you here
Take a trip into the sky with me
Fly with me
