LYRICS
    Saturday's Child
Farewell my child it's time
To leave this all behind
Exchanging the river for the sea
Farewell to saturday's child
Cut loose before his prime
Set adrift in the city
Speak to me now of isolation
Feel your way home in the dark
Here comes the old greay man
Back bent before his time
Tracing figures in the sand
He has no more crosses to bear
Sat upon his rocking chair
Gazes out toward the sea
Speak to me now of visions
Seen through a looking glass mind
Speak of your inhibitions
You still have your mountain to climb

Voyage of Bran
Father father
Can you tell me
Where the hours go
Where time flows?
It is written in the stars
Upon the milky way
That we must burn bright
Before we fade away?
Mother mother
Can you tell me
Where the fire goes
When the flames cease?
"From the ashes to the astral plain
Where the setting sun meets the sea, Brendan"
I live by the river
Where the old gods still dream
Of inner communion
With the open sea
Through the eye of the hunter
In search of a prey
Neither beast nor human
In my philosophy
If you don't recognise me
Well it's simply because
I've outgrown these old clothes
Time to move on
For you and I will outlive
The masks life gave us
When this shadowplay comes
To a close

Medusa
When all you have left are your memories
And diamonds and pearls for company
I'll be sailing to St. Lucia on the ocean breeze
With the moon and my scars for company
In your bedroom you keep an iron cage
Where a blackbird sings her freedom song
For you know the true value of keeping slaves
They sing the saddest of songs
Medusa you robbed me of my youth
Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude
Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn
You told me to undress
Then crowned my head with thorns
Medusa you robbed me of my youth
Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude
Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn
You told me to get dressed
Then turned my heart to stone

Sloth
Sometimes when I'm alone
I imagine that the world is a mirror
And in minds eye behold my dark inner nature
I've been waiting time on this time honoured whore
'Til I get so confused I can't see anymore
And I have crawled where I should have seen the signs
Dragging my feet when I could have been flying
Sometimes when I'm sad
I drink to the health of my torment
And dance at the altar
To the tune of a drunken black tango
I've been waiting time on this time honoured whore
'Til I get so confused I can't see anymore
Wastes my mouth trying to settle old scores
Dragging my feet when I could have been flying
Dragging my feet when I could have been flying
Dragging my feet

I must have been blind
Here I am believing words again
Here I am trying to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Praying for a love we used to know
Both of us know how hard it is to love and let it go
Both of us know how hard it is to go on living that way
But so few know what it means to fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
Lord I must have been blind
Lord I must have been blind
Lord I must have been blind
Lord I must have been blind
To hold something real and not believe it
To live in her life and never trusting
To give all you know and never feel it
Hold back each day until it dies away
Both of us know how hard it is to love and let it go
Both of us know how hard it is to go on living that way
But so few know what it means to fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
Lord I must have been blind
Lord I must have been blind
Lord I must have been blind

The captive heart
The old clock is ticking now
Marks the space between us
Your memory enshrouds my heart
For I am held a captive
Sometimes my soul desires
To take leave of this old world
To spread these golden wings and fly
To the city of angels
But then if I close my eyes
I can see you standing there
Your face in permanence smiles
Your lips a chalice
Seems like I've loved you all my life
Never thought I'd find you
One day the muse may lend these words wings
So I can touch you
But hey!
Don't worry if the feelings not strong for you
I have lived my life in accordance
To the windfalls of passion
Though I know what it means
To be loved and then forgotten
I have seen too many men
Driven insane by their distractions

Death will be my bride
Woke up this morning
Set off down the road
Left behind me all those years
Searching for a common soul
I've been looking for a thousand
And one distractions
To empty my mind
Of thoughts of loneliness
I've been looking for someone
To take away my frustrations
But all I find is a sea of emptiness
Death will be my bride
Death will be my bride
Three hours from sundown
I'm still on the road
With those voices in my head
Ringing down the years
For the wind whispers my name
And the leaves they lend a helping hand
If I don't reach you by this time tomorrow
I'll be stone cold dead in the ground
Death will be my bride
Death will be my bride

Archangel
All love's lost children
Behind us... forgotten
Youth lies broken
Upon the wheel of the machine
Each time we kill their song
Time feeds our memories
We travel through past lives
We are angels
Part devil in disguise
We sow the seeds of our own demise
All love's lost children
Inside us... forgotten
You must open
As the flower greets the sun
To sing their praise with your song
If you turn a blind eye
To the needs of a child innner vision
Then you might just find
That the love you denied will desert you
How long will we sing this song ?
How long must we carry on ?
You can break their will
But they never ever will respect you
If you abuse their bodies
They will never come to love you
How long will we sing this song ?
How long must we carry on ?

Everybody's Been Burned (The Byrds)
Everybody's been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place
Can tell you to your face
Why you should try to love someone
Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows the need
I know that door math
Trying to shuts before
You give to a dream you see
I know all to well
How to turn, how to run
How to hide behind
The wall of fools
Put you down inside
If you choose to hide
So I guess you state
You should state
I love you
I love you

American Dreaming
I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land
We've been too long American dreaming
I think we've all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
I'm in love with an American girl
Well, she is my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her
And well go dancing beside desert waters
Where love is so wastefully spent
And die upon the crumbs of fate
Most lovers often reject
Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long, how long
Fear long in our dark given ways
Safely inside by the fire
Swear a thought for the unfortunate man
Who must chose between love and desire
We've been too long American dreaming
I think we've all lost the heart
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long, how long

Lila
Well it's just a game
To people play
Like hide-and-seek
With your feelings
Well there you sit
In your favourite chair
Rolling those eyes up
To the ceiling
Chance is all you never will be lost upon
And now it's too late to find it over eah-ooh
Lila
Well it's just a game
To people play
Like hide-and-seek
With your feelings

Slide Machine (13th Floor Elevators)
Well, the slide machine can safe a lot of time
If I could feel for to leave behind
And I'm here just set appeal in between
Trying to, trying to get back to you
Trying to, trying to get back to you
Well, the slide machine is so slow
Rides of the road
For a taint of trust, a low, exactly told
And me, I've just been looking for go slow
Trying to, trying to get back to you
Trying to, trying to get back to you
A woman here, she's got a dozen names
Well, the soldier boys
They try to keep her tamed
But her remarks will leave them just the same
Trying to, trying to get back to you
Trying to, trying to get back to you

In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated
Sail on silver wings
Through this storm
What fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
For now that wheels are turning
I find my faith deserting me
This night is filled with the price
Of dispossessed children in search of paradise
A sign of unresolved ambition
Drives the pin-wheel on and on
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
When memory bears witness to
The innocence consumed in dying rage
The way lies through our love
There can be no other means to the end
Or the keys to my heart
You will never find
You will never find
And the fire will lead your sails to her
And we'll be relished in seas of fire
And the time will lead assail to her
And we'll be relished in fields of light

Dolphins (Fred Neil)
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And about old times
When we were running wild
I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
I'm not the one
To tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all the hate is gone
I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
This world will never change
The way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
This world may never change
This world will never change
This world may never change

Emmadelia
Ever since you went away
The sun no longer lights my days
And the world seems a sad place
Memories are all I have
They've been long lost and found
Guess they are part of losing you
??Favour in love to rise??
Until you leave tonight
Fortune lows inside
Aint you leave the time
And rise....behind you
Rise inside you
And leave oh
Ever since you went away
Clouds no longer light my days
And the world seems a sad place
Fire in leash
Sail to the West
And I know it leaving me
From another side
?????????????????tonight
Fortune lows inside
Until you leave....inside
Inside you
Rise...behind you
Wow????
Rise inside you
Rise...

Can You Feel It
It's not the way you look
It's not the way you walk
It's not even the colour of your money
That brings you my respect
It's not the way you talk
It's not the tales you tell
You watch and speak loud on words
For those who really care
I can feel it
Calling me the way you used to do
And the time means nothing
Ooh
Lies
Lies, is all you've been told
Sometimes I feel like I'm sleepwalking
In a great big haunted house
Just stumbling around in the darkness
Can't seem to get sleep at night
I can feel it
Calling me the way you used to do
And the time means nothing
Ooh
Lies
Lies, is all you've been told

Chase The Blues (Tim Buckley)
Come along and walk with me
And learn the songs that lovers sing
When they believe
We'll dance along the river's edge
As arm in arm along the moonlit shore
The midnight cry
Well, I just came to chase the blues away
For a while
You cling to me just like a child
With memories down along rushes near
It's just the breeze
That licks your skin
And rubs your breasts
And as we lay our rivers flow away
You're a woman fear
Well, I just came to chase the blues away
For a while
And with the morning sun we'll wake
And raise our eyes that watch the eagle fly
Of mountain high
And on it's back our love will climb
It never sails until he soars and dies
Oh, you take your breath away
Well, I just came to chase the blues away
For a while

The Other Side Of Life (Fred Neil)
Would you like to know a secret
Just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next
Only know where I'm gonna be
That's another side of this life
I've been living
That's another side of this life
Well, my whole world's in an uproar
My whole world's upside down
I don't know where I'm going next
I guess I just keep bumming round
That's another side of this life
I've been living
That's another side of this life
Well, I don't know what I'm doing now I have time
I don't know where I go
Guess I'll get me a sailing boat
Sail the gulf of Mexico
That's another side of this life
I've been living
That's another side of this life
That's another side of this life
I've been living
That's another side of this life

Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley)
On the floating
Shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
To your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your arms
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream
You dreamed about me
Were you here when I was full sail
But now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken love lost on your rocks
Will you sing
Touch me not
Touch me not
Come back tomorrow
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
Shies from the sorrow
But I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
Or should I lie with death my bride
Hear me sing
Swim to me
Swim to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you

Go Back
