Precious Style
02:58

You get up off that bathroom tile
Cause when the folks come in a while
And they find you in a pile
It will cramp your precious style
How come it don't come easy
When you're shelling out your time
Your utility is subsiding
He spends his weekends seeking
Cracked stones and rolling bones
Are you ready for something blinding?
You get up off that bathroom tile
Cause when the folks come in a while
And they find you in a pile
It will cramp your precious style
Hold onto something solid
Or you'll fall right off your shoes
Your stability is declining
Confess to everybody
While you still got shit to lose
Are you selling or are you buying?
You get up off that bathroom tile
Cause when the folks come in a while
And they find you in a pile
It will cramp your precious style
Your precious style
Your precious style

Get It Over With
04:22
|

You be yourself and I'll be mine
It ain't no sin to have a real good time
Concertinas of different kinds
Sometimes play exactly the same lines
Why can't we get it over with
Why can't we, why don't we
Just get it over with
If I get stuck on the motorway
I'll just think of you
Cause from time to time on a day like this
I begin to feel like the first bird who ever flew
Get on with it and so will I
It's oh so easy babe to let joy pass you by
You might not know it but it ain't no lie
To say you're better looking than the nightime African sky oh
Why can't we get it over with
Why can't we, why don't we
Just get it over with
If I get stuck on the motorway
I'll just think of you
Cause from time to time on a day like this
I begin to feel like the first bird who ever flew
Get it over with
Get it oh
Get it over with
Get it oh
Get it oh
Get it over with

Holy Bones
08:01
|

If you're stealing from the thieves
I think you'll find
You'll be working overtime
To compensate for all their crimes
And dodgy dealings
Another way of turning water into wine
Is to pour it on the vine
Stranger things have come to pass
Than vegetation
Hold the phone
Hold up
Where are you going
Holding that bowl of holy bones?
You can fight it if you want to
But it's all kicking off in the marketplace
Pigs are falling to their knees
And cats are howling
The cost of breathing's on the rise
And we've all got half a mind to start a ruckus
You'd think they'd help but then you find
They just wanna fuck us
Hold the phone
Hold up
Where are you going
Holding that bowl of holy
Holy bones
Holy
Holy bones
Oh they're coming to take them back home
I've never known your type to join the fight
Never laid my eyes on such a sight
Hallelujah I'm on fire tonight
You never meet the ones who build your life

Dark Underground
03:16
|

You can't be found
It's dark underground
So don't make a sound
You ain't no fool when the truth be told
You better watch yourself
Or you'll be left out in the cold
Kids on the street
Tappin their feet
Feelin that beat
Your mama said you better change your tone
You better get cleaned up
And you better do it alone
Don't you know it's all in your head
But you can hear them under your bed
They won't let you go
And it's starting to show
Feels like your feet are made of lead
Wheels on the track
Maximum attack
No looking back
It ain't no lie you know
We gotta go
You better pack your shit
Cause we're heading out in the snow
Don't you know it's all in your head
But you can hear them under your bed
They won't let you go
And it's starting to show
Feels like your feet are made of lead

No Lies
03:34
|

I've been waiting for so long
For someone to tell me right from wrong
If I give in to my fear
I might just have to disappear
Tell me what you're looking for
Show me how you get by
I can tell you anything
But I can tell you no lies
Ay ay ay ay ay
No lies
I've been waiting so damn long
For someone to help me write this song
Maybe now we'll find some peace
In amongst the cherry trees
Tell me what you're looking for
Show me how you get by
I could tell you anything
But I can tell you no lies
Ay ay ay ay ay
No lies
I could tell you anything
But you won't hear no pork pies
Oh I could tell you anything
But I can tell you no lies
I could tell you anything
But I can tell you no lies
Ay ay ay ay ay
No lies

Psychopomp

Psychopomp I've been waiting for you
For 40 days and 40 nights
I'm in the dark I need someone
to help me to find the light
Celebrate the weak forces
Pilgrims huddled round the setting sun
But where to go when the drink is gone
And the work is done?
See Hermes and the Valkyries
Feast your eyes
On everything your precious coins can buy
But you know as well as I know
It takes all kinds
To separate the heroes from the ties that bind
If you want me you know where to find me
I'll be waiting out in the sticks
I'm a real straight-shooting guy
I don't play no tricks
Consecrate the dirt for you
Good and ready for your concubines
A flock of ravens waits for you
In the ashen pines
See Hermes and the Valkyries
Feast your eyes
On everything your precious coins can buy
But you know as well as I know
It takes all kinds
To separate the heroes from the ties that bind

Periscope
06:38

Water seeped in through the cracks
Heavy drops on my back
So I dipped my toes in the sea
Cold waves welcomed me
It was dark blue and nothing to do
But drift through and through
And the moon made silver the night
Shadows turned in it's light
In the morning the heights of the sky
Dissolved my disguise
And I saw it all with new eyes
Tiny ripple in time
I saw it all with new eyes
Tiny ripple in time for one time
I saw it all with new eyes
Pale blue dot in the sky in the sky
I saw the streets with new eyes
People you meet with new eyes
I saw the clouds with new eyes
Just watch em pass by pass you by
I saw it all with new eyes
Tiny ripple in time for one time
I saw it all with new eyes
Pale blue dot in the sky in the sky
I saw the streets with new eyes
People you meet with new eyes
I saw the clouds in your eyes
Just watch em pass by pass you by
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all
I saw it all

Levitation
04:31
|
|||
I'm gonna show you something you can't explain
And we're gonna break on through
And I gotta say
These days all we ever seem to do
Is work to pay our dues
Oooh
It's all the same
It's all the same
You just gotta play the game
You just gotta play the game
I'm gonna show you how to levitate
Not in a magical way but a trick
And I gotta say
Here in the valley we don't like tempting fate
But it sounds like a good way to get your kicks
Oooh
It's all the same
It's all the same
You just gotta play the game
You just gotta play the game
You say it couldn't be
But in truth
You're just as scared as me
The probability
Is that you
Are just too close to see it
It's all the same
It's all the same
You just gotta play the game
You just gotta play the game

Old Water
04:56

Old Mary's stuck for her next meal
Out in the fields they make her pray
Cold as the sun is hot she makes up her mind
To go where the temperature feels right
Looking back I saw you break
Under the pale mellow moonlight
There's old water in the sea my friend
Old water in the sea
How deep does it go
I should know
There's old water in me
Old rain is falling on the fields
Growing the food for our next meals
Old as the night is long it fills us with life
Cold as steel it keeps us right
Out on the beach I saw you fade
Back to the sea from where you came
There's old water in the sea my friend
Old water in the sea
How deep does it go
I should know
There's old water in me
