1.The High Party (Solo)
I'm looking at another day
To find that I've got no-no-nothing to say
Or I'm looking for another way
To process what happened on, on, on that birthday
And either way, if you're gonna call it art
Then there's a cup in front of you
And right away, if you're gonna play your part
You must drink it down, drink it down, drink it down
Well, mine eyes have seen the
Glory of the fields of flowers and fac-fac-factory farms
And my mind's content to
Lie at rest for hours behind my love-love-loved ones' doors
And if there's a war
Another shitty war to fight for Ba-Ba-Babylon
It's the perfect storm in a teacup
But you must drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink
it down
And what do you make of nights when you thought you'd make much
more
Than being too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to
drink more？
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door？
Saying it's time to turn the lights out and you want to keep it
down,
Keep it down, keep it down
So I'm lifting up that poison cup
To drink a draught of pro-pro-propaganda
Or I'm giving up that other stuff
In hopes that it's gonna ma-ma-make me madder
Either way, if you're gonna call it art
Then there's a cup in front of you
And right away, if you're gonna play your part
You must drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink it
down
And what do you make of nights when you thought you'd make much
more
Than being too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to
drink more？
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door？
Saying it's time to turn the lights out and you want to keep it
down,
Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down
And what do you make of nights when you thought you'd make much
more
Than being too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to
drink more？
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door？
Saying it's time to turn the lights out and you want to keep it
And what does it say of all of the things you've said before
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to
drink more？
And what do you save, what does it feel like to be saved？
And can you pull, two three four, pull, two three, can you drink
it down,
Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink it down？
2.The Sword In The Stone
So here we are, another star with out a car - you're gonna make
it
Each bit of rot to its own slot, the cheapest shot was saying I
faked it
And if that's all you make of your time
Then I'm not wasting any more explaining what I've made of mine
You better walk around, 'cause no one's gonna drive you home
So many shows, you've been below enough to know you shouldn't
think it
Excalibur or your guitar？ Do you think you are the Queen of
England？
And your crying won't make you a dime
It's just like any other job where there gonna pay for your time
You better walk around, 'cause no one's gonna drive you home
I'm not impressed with your desire to be the biggest in the bowl
You'll still just be a little shit in a world that's just a big
shit hole
You better walk around, 'cause no one's gonna drive you home
3.Bleeding Powers
All the time you were keeping me straight
I was bleeding powers
In my mind it was never too late
And the days were hours
And sure the waves still make spray at the old sea wall
And the road leads somewhere but it's not yet to your door
And the road leads somewhere but it's not yet to your door
Let's go down to the old South End
Where we used to meet
Take me back to the basements and alleys
On Wallbridge Street
But it'll only make me sadder when I can't conjure ghosts no
more
And the road leads somewhere, but it's not yet to your door
And the road leads somewhere, but it's not yet to your door
All the time you've spent working away
Well, you've done more than your part
All the times you only wanted your say
Not their slings and darts
And still you couldn't let them drown in their own hate no more
And the road leads somewhere, but it's not yet to your door
And the road leads somewhere, but it's not yet to your door
And you still see people waiting for the next excuse for war
And the road leads somewhere, but it's not yet to your door
And the road leads somewhere, but it's not yet to your door
And the road leads somewhere, but it's not yet to your door
4.Dirty Old Town
I met my love by the gasworks croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats and dogs, prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the streets at night
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the fall on the smoky wind
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Gonna get myself a good sharp ax
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Gonna cut you down like a dead old tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I found my love by the gasworks croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
5.Ghosts
Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you
Why do you turn away keep it out of sight
Or don't live up to your given role
There's more inside you that you won't show
But you keep it hidden just like everyone
You're scared to show her make you vulnerable
So you wear that ghost around you for a disguise
But there's no need just cuz it's all we've known
There's more inside you that you haven't shown
So you keep on moving moving moving your feet
Keep in shuf- shuf- shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streams
One day you'll walk right out of this life
And then you'll wonder why you didn't try
To spread some loving all around
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
Gotta rid this prejudice it brings you down
How do you feel at the end of the day
Just like you've walked over your own grave
So why are you frightened can't you see that it's you
At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
6.Decaying Artifact
7.Six Months In A Leaky Boat
When I was a young boy, I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me
Living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer
Will acknowledge no frontier
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare
'Round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat
Aotearoa, rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me
I'll conquer and stay free
Ah, c'mon all you lads, let's forget and forgive
There's a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat
Ship-wrecked love can be cruel, don't be fooled by her kind
There's a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it leaky boat
8.Loyal To My Sorrowful Country
No more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country
No more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country
And I've walked from coast to coast,
And I've seen, yes I've seen...
No one's business but my own,
Where I've been, where I've been...
And no more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country
No more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country
In the days when we were young,
We were free, we were free...
Now that Georgie's reign's begun,
We won't be, we can't be...
And no more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country
No more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country.
Though I've lived my bygone years,
In this land, in this land...
I'll uproot it without tears,
And I'll change it if I can!
And, no more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country
No more shall I be, loyal to my sorrowful country
