Autopilot 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Lift my hand from the steering wheel And fall asleep Lean back and drift away Into a peaceful dream I'm in a scene between the wars I'm on a staircase between the floors I'm fighting for a worthy cause Autopilot - out of my control Autopilot - darkness taking hold Lose myself in the Twitter feed And fall asleep Lean back and drift away Into a peaceful dream I'm in a room without a door I see a face I can't recall I'm still looking for a worthy cause Autopilot - out of my control Autopilot - darkness taking hold Oh wanderer We have no road We make the road by walking Autopilot - out of my control Autopilot - darkness taking hold

Lone Wolf 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Travelling up country Underneath the stars Where the snow lies deepest Where the going's hard Wrapped up against the cold In his overcoat Lone wolf, sharp tooth Out upon the ridge As swift as Mercury Running with the wind Lost among the forest melting in the trees Crawling through the thicket On his hands and knees Far from prying eyes Scared to be recognised Lone wolf, flameproof Banished by his tribe Snarling, growling Glad to be alive Lone wolf Trusting in himself Lone wolf Can't depend on no one else In the furtive twilight Where the mind plays tricks In the murky shadows Dissolving in the mist Lone wolf, sharp tooth Banished by his tribe Barking, howling Glad to be alive Lone wolf, flameproof Banished by his tribe Snarling, growling Glad to be alive

Citadel 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Cast out of the garden To a place high on a hill To a mighty fortress To this lofty citadel Down there in the dungeons The madmen climb the walls Screaming in the darkness Howling into the void What is there left to conserve? Liberal and enlightened We invented clever tools Transcending limitations We created our own rules Silencing the naysayers Banning heresy Recruiting new crusaders To our coterie What is there left to conserve? In this citadel We feel so safe Impregnable Inviolate Pulling up the drawbridge We protect our citadel Preserving our possessions From the grasping infidel Who covets our inventions Our codes and our machines Who hacks into our psyches Who intrudes into our dreams What is there left to conserve? What is there left to conserve?

The Owl 06:02
lyrics
buy track
Two friends out walking in the bower Came upon a sleeping owl Perhaps this bird would bring them luck They bundled it into a sack They left the owl on holy ground Locked up in the old church pound A cloud of feathers floated down Something lost and something found Wise old owl, please teach us all you know But not a word did the bird say You must learn a lesson of your own You need to learn from your mistakes Screeching out the owl swooped down And shut the men inside the pound And never did the friends emerge And never was their story heard They say that when the moon is round Walking by the old church pound Beating wings and ghostly cry Penetrates the gentle night Wise old owl, please teach us all you know But not a word did the bird say You must learn a lesson of your own You need to learn from your mistakes Wise old owl

Day Of The Dead 03:22
lyrics
buy track
It's the Day of the Dead On the streets of the city The blinds have gone down The curtains are drawn We walk through the lanes Quoting Byron and Shelley What lines do we borrow? Whose dreams do we steal? On the Day of the Dead On the Day of the Dead It's the Day of the Dead On the streets of the city The candles are lit The altars are bare Prayers are recited And epitaphs written For what do we mourn? For whom do we grieve? On the Day of the Dead On the Day of the Dead There's a voice in my head Whispering Lingering There's a thought in my head Flickering Glistening It's the Day of the Dead On the streets of the city My blood's feeling sticky My head's feeling light The glittering smiles of the dark senoritas Vanish like phantoms into the night On the Day of the Dead On the Day of the Dead

No More Disappointments 03:11
lyrics

Her skin is smooth as latex Hey eyes are clear as jewels Her words expertly chosen She's always in the mood No more disappointments With my cyber girl No more disappointments In my cyber world Her hair is soft as nylon Her lips sting like a bee She's never busy She's always there for me No more disappointments With my cyber girl No more disappointments In my cyber world She's high on empathy She's wired for ecstasy When she sits next to me I feel our chemistry! Her breasts are mounds of silicon She takes no pound of flesh She lends me her attention When I'm in a mess No more disappointments With my cyber girl No more disappointments In my cyber world With my cyber girl

Seahorse 02:51
lyrics
buy track
I've been treading water For way too long My restless inertia Was way too strong Momentum's building Like a boulder Down the slope I watch it rolling Since you floated gently over I heard your silent whisper I heard your wordless call I saw the empty fixture Up on the garden wall I nailed your colours to my mast Left you stranded and downcast In all the confusion As the thunder crashed And as the waves come rolling in And as the breakers pound my skin You are as constant as the Pole Star You float there motionless Your style is effortless Your patience limitless Your compassion bottomless

What's Your Fantasy? 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Spirits dance among the leaping flames Stories crackle around the fire Legends thaw our frozen hearts and minds Leave us burning with desire What's your fantasy? Heroes stir us with courageous deeds The gods confer immortality Is this the stuff from which our dreams are made? Is the jewel in the dragon's cave? What's your fantasy? Let us scale the wind and clouds Let us ride the moon and sun Let us shake our earthly bounds, my love Let us flee this narrow world What's your fantasy? What's your fantasy?

The Butterfly And The Raven 03:25
lyrics
buy track
A butterfly and a raven Met on a high mountain peak In the fleeting remnants of summer As autumn trees shed their warm leaves Tell me delicate beauty The curious raven did ask How you strayed from your garden And why you're up here on the crag She said magnificent raven Commander of bluff and of peak My summer journeys are over My wings have grown tired and weak I have come to see further Where butterflies weren't meant to go To feast on this fine panorama Before I succumb to the cold Trust in me said the raven I have a plan we can hatch I will show you my kingdom If you'll flutter up here on my back They soared up into the heavens Over the raven's domain To a faraway jungle Where the butterfly safely remained

Nordic Eyes 04:10
lyrics

Nordic smile Watching you bathe Steam rising from your skin Nordic eyes Pierce with their gaze Blue as the meltwater Nordic eyes Cross my heart and hope to die Nordic eyes Snow-blind in the sunshine Nordic skies Darken and fade Lost in the pine forest Northern Lights Guiding my way Prints linger in the snow Nordic eyes Cross my heart and hope to die Nordic eyes Snow-blind in the sunshine Fleet of long ships Sails before dawn Warm my cold lips Wrap me in reindeer skins Nordic eyes Cross my heart and hope to die Nordic eyes Snow-blind in the sunshine

The Well 01:48
lyrics

Baby fell into a well She thought that she would die Baby lost and found herself She held her head up high She had nothing left to give She thought that she would die She scooped up water with a sieve She held her head up high Baby baked her kids a cake She frightened all the witches away Baby barred the kitchen door The witches wouldn't bother her no more Baby flew into a rage Her waters had run dry Someone rattled baby's cage She held her head up high She held her head up high She held her head up high

At The End Of The World 04:41
lyrics
buy track
We will be there At the end of the world Ransacking bittersweet memories locked in our hearts Moths to a flame Feet to the fire High on our fame Drunk with desire At the end of the world We will be there At the end of the world Casting our pebbles out into a sparkling sea Salt in our hair Sand in our toes We'll drink to our friends We'll drink to our foes At the end of the world We will be there At the end of the world Following vapour trails carved through the indigo skies Kissing the sun Embracing the moon Basking like sharks In the late afternoon At the end of the world We will be there At the end of the world Chasing the fireflies that glitter like jewels in the sun Under the boughs We'll lie in repose Exchanging our vows Trading our blows At the end of the world We will be there We will be there
