Citizen Of Nowhere

Citizen of nowhere
Spits out the soul of the nation
Doesn't know where he came from
Doesn't know where to go
Born in an airport
Living out of a suitcase
Never finding his own place
Never finding a home
Citizen of nowhere
Citizen of nowhere
Citizen of nowhere
Citizen of nowhere
He's a boat without a mooring
Doesn't know his own story
Doesn't know where he belongs
Out on the edge he goes
Crawling through hedgerows
The more he learns, the less he knows
Citizen of nowhere
Chews up the roads and the highways
Devours the lanes and the byways
He's a fast-rolling stone
Out on the ridge he strides
Wading through quagmires
Wonders why he's never satisfied
Citizen of nowhere
Spits out the soul of the nation
Citizen of nowhere

Bystander

Waiting for something to happen
Hoping for something to change
Praying for someone to come along
Groping for something to say
Out of his control
Eating at his soul
Swallowing him whole
Bystander, alone in the crowd
Bystander, thinking aloud
Bystander, dead on his feet
Bystander, feeling the heat
Bystander
Take me to somewhere so far away
Where sunlight plays on the ground
Where swans glide over the river
Where we can never be found
Mustn't say a word
Vision getting blurred
Feeling so absurd
Bystander, snap interview
Thought I saw him on the ten o'clock news
Bystander, moment of fame
Can't even remember his name
Bystander
His eyes are peeled
His lips are sealed
His needle is stuck
His scene has been cut
Bystander, don't say a word
Bystander, nothing occurred
Bystander, looked the wrong way
Bystander, nothing to say
Bystander, turned a blind eye
Understand they got the wrong guy
Bystander, nowhere to run
Bystander, million to one
Bystander

Samskara (Imprint)
05:16
|

|
I ran among the pretty horses
I whispered poems in their ears
I couldn't shake off the persistent stories
I couldn't shrug off my fears
I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know how I went astray
I can't remember how I came this way
I don't know how I fell so far from grace
I plagiarized my favourite sources
I would borrow and steal
I couldn't stomach the exotic courses
It wasn't my kind of meal
Samskara - I don't know why I feel this way
Samskara - I don't know how I went astray
Samskara - I can't remember how I came this way
Samskara - I don't know how I fell so far from grace
You made an impression on me
An imprint that I cannot see
A voice that I cannot hear
A direction that I cannot steer
Samskara
I won the war but lost the battle
I stayed behind to play the field
In the palace all the tongues were wagging
My magic touch disappeared
Samskara - I don't know why I feel this way
Samskara - I don't know how I went astray
Samskara - I can't remember how I came this way
Samskara - I don't know how I fell so far from grace

Child Of The Sea
03:19
|
|||
|
She swam all the way to the Bay of Biscay
To find me a pebble among the cold spray
She battled the swell of the Cote Atlantique
And bronzed her pale skin in the shimmering heat
Marina, child of the sea
Marina's spirit is free
Marina, child of the sea
Her spirit is free
She outgrew her life and moved into a flat
She covered in shells, bijou and compact
She danced in pyjamas and laughed like a child
And no one could stop her and no one could chide
Marina, child of the sea
Marina's spirit is free
Marina, child of the sea
Her spirit is free
Her spirit is free
Her spirit is free
She laced up her trainers and ran through the wood
And stopped in the glade where anemones stood
Lay down in the bluebells, looked up at the sky
As the petals rained down on her wide dolphin smile
Marina, child of the sea
Marina's spirit is free
Marina, child of the sea
Her spirit is free

Ghost writer

|
Ghost writer takes up my pen
Ghost writer edits events
Ghost writer puts it much better than me
Memories live longer than dreams
Ghost writer blurs fact and fiction
Ghost writer paints his own picture
Ghost writer says it much better than me
Memories live longer than dreams
Ghost writer veers from the script
Ghost writer takes the risks
Ghost writer types like a demon
Ghost writer pours out his feelings
Ghost writer breathes in much deeper than me
Memories live longer than dreams
Ghost writer knows what sells
Ghost writer rings the bells
At the fall of Saigon
On the beach at South Georgia
Ghost writer tells it much better than me
Memories live longer than dreams
Ghost writer sells it much better than me
Memories live longer than dreams

Christiania

In Christiania darkness falls
In Christiania sirens call
In Christiania blinds come down
In Christiania shots ring out
In this city the night is soft
Here outside the loft
In Christiania floorboards creak
In Christiania stairwells speak
In Christiania where no one ever sleeps
In Christiania where secrets never keep
In Christiania
Words dissolve into the mist
On the streets the gods have kissed
The writing is on the wall
An empire rises and falls
In Christiania rumours swirl
In Christiania plots unfurl
In Christiania old men cry
In Christiania hope has died
Christiania up in flames
Christiania charred remains
In Christiania church bells ring
Please forgive our sins
In Christiania where no one ever sleeps
In Christiania where secrets never keep
In Christiania where no one ever feels
In Christiania where children never dream
In Christiania
