Peach blossom







Oh man, feel so nice
That was a long cold night
But then the sun came out to thaw the ice
Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,








The tiger lily, the marigold
Oh look at her, she’s got something to say
and I cant wait to hear it
Won’t let her get away







Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,
The tiger lily, the marigold
Oh yeah, oh my goodness
You gonna love what’s happening in here
There ain’t nothing for me to fear






Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,
The tiger lily, the marigold





Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,
The tiger lily, the marigold








Open the window man to smell the peach blossom,
The tiger lily, the marigold

The crack of doom







And so your life's been a success
And you have pleasure in excess
Don't worry it will all end soon
The crack of doom is coming soon
And so your future's looking bright
And you've reached the giddy heights
Don't worry it will soon end
It is all shallow and pretend








The crack of doom
Is coming soon
The crack of doom
Is coming soon






And so your life
Your life has failed
You've made the progress of a snail
Don't worry you'll get your revenge
For we're all equal in the end
The small and mighty all the same
This life a shallow, facile game
Where every empire turns to dust
And every ego will be crushed









The crack of doom
Is coming soon
The crack of doom
Is coming soon






And every dream, hope and desire
Is just a flicker in the fire
And that fire it will consume
The crack of doom
Is coming soon






The crack of doom is coming soon
The crack of doom is coming soon









The crack of doom is coming soon
The crack of doom
doom
Is coming soon

The castle









It was late evening when K. arrived.




.

Illusions are more common than changes in fortune









There's no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.







all [the authorities] did was to guard the distant and invisible interests of distant and invisible masters







One must fight to get to the top, especially if one starts at the bottom.









I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more








The smell of the beer dazed him. ‘What have you done?’ he asked quietly. ‘We’re both lost.’ ‘No,’ said Frieda, ‘I’m the one who’s lost, but I’ve gained you.










K. was left standing in the snow, feeling disinclined to haul his foot 
out of it only to have it sink in again a little further on. The master 
tanner and his friend, happy to be rid of K. at last, made their way 
slowly back through the door of the house, which was only standing 
ajar, still keeping an eye on him. K. was left alone in the all-enveloping 
snow. ‘If I’d come here by chance and not on purpose,’ he thought, 
‘I might fall into despair at this point.’

Apple Carts












Pull the apple carts
Up from silvery hill
Higher until heaven revealed
On the out of dawn, respawn












To great authority
Singing hallelujah hallelujah
Love does reign
In the kingdom of the broken heart
The blackbird sings
And the moon it laughs
As war begins, dance
Now burn the apple carts
Burn them until a great fire begins
To glow in the sky
There beneath the stones, recharge
From great austerity
Raining down from above
Distant is love
Our distain








In the kingdom of the broken heart
A blackbird sings
And the sun it laughs
As war begins, dance









Pull the apple carts high up on the hill
Set the cores alight
A sea of glass is real
Pass the barley out to prevailing winds
Where it lands and grows
The blackbird will sin

Valentine








Knew a girl used to make me wait for hours
On the train in the rain with some flowers
Street girl used to live in the towers
Real sweet and then sour
Hard life just like Cinderella
Single mum had a kid with a fella
She was real, real like concrete








By herself walk like she own street
The other fella he was kinda like trash
The son's father but never did give her cash
I said there's things you really shouldn't have to do
Come with me and I'll look after you









My funny Valentine












My Valentine, take me away
Council flats make me blind
I try but these towers so grey
Nowhere for my children to play
My baby needs fun
My skin needs the sun
My Valentine










Knew a girl, street girl
Used to live in the towers
Real sweet and then sour
Hard life just like Cinderella
Single mum had a kid with a fella

My funny Valentine

Come On Let's Go






You won't find it by your self
You're gonna need some help
And you won't fail with me around
Come on let's go







I will tell you if you change
And who's been saying things
It's hard to tell who is real in here
Come on let's go







You know who to turn to
Now everything's changed
Come on lets go
Stop looking for answers
In everyone's face
Come on let's go







What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
Come on let's go






When you're looking for a friend
But it's empty at the end
When everybody's disappeared
You won't be alone








If you want I'll compensate
If you over estimate
So there's nothing left to fear
You won't be alone
You know who to turn to
Now everything's changed
Come on let's go
Stop looking for answers
In everyone's face
Come on let's go






What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
Come on let's go

10 Mile Stereo









The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon










They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge, and our feet on the horizon
The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go








It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever










This push and pull is the force of a wave of time
In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine
They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go
'cause this heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw











It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we saw it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever







It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever
