Last Night






Soft sympathetic patch of ground 
Where I can lay my heavy burden down 
Oh beautiful scene in decay 
There to remind us that nothing stays the same 






If this be my last night on earth 
Let me remember this for all that its worth 
If this be my last night on earth 
Let me remember this for all that its worth 








Wild fruit, sands, override on the vine 
Wild creatures come gather round to suckle their wine 
The birds they feed before they take flight 
As the weary sun succumbs to their heavy eyelids that is life 








If this be my last night on earth 
Let me remember this for all that its worth 
If this be my last night on earth 
Let me remember this for all that its worth 







Intoxicated birds glide in a swarm 
They sing to me their drunken tunes 







This is your last night on earth 
Remember us for all that we were 
Take sweet memories with you, with you 
And plant those seeds somewhere new 







This is your last night on earth 
Remember us for all that we were 
Take sweet memories with you, with you 
And plant those seeds somewhere new

The lonely night









here come the lonely night
 I can’t escape my mind from a broken bough
 fall into finite space 
with the roof torn down 
this house is an empty place









so tired of wandering around 
and starting over 
no garden grows here 
now just the one leaf clover 
and when the windows shuttered










it’s always dark inside 
sometimes the pain is absurd 
still it’s what fate decides 
thought i saw jesus come down dressed like a soldier 
I used to cry like a clown and now I’m older 









here come the lonely night 
can’t escape my mind 
and the grinding wheel turns 
and the heavens burn 
as the pilot ignites 
is a lesson learned 
a sullen look of concern 
it might make you sad like the fluttering bird in a dream you had 








here come the lonely night 
I can’t escape my mind 
I saw jesus come down dressed like a soldier once 
I cried like a clown 










now I’m older 
here come the lonely night 
can’t escape my mind

Lift me up








Plain talking 
Take us so far
Broken down cars
Like strung-out old stars






Plain talking
Served us so well
Travelled through hell
We know how it felt

Plain talking
Making us bold
So strong out and cold
Feeling so old






 Plain talking
Has ruined us now
You never know how
Sweeter than thou

Lift me up
Higher now

Shot In The Back Of The Head




I told him to go
I shouted: "run away!"

Nobody expected,
nobody expected
Now he's lying on the sand
And the red ribbon around
his neck




And the red ribbon colour-ing
the sand
I didn't know him
that was Nobody

that was Nobody
