Birdowner (as Seen On Tv) Lyrics
These are weird times
There's a widow in my street
She turns her husbands into birds
They've got claws instead of feet
A cage is in the garden
There's feathers in my phone box
Screeching, squawking, it sounds like talking
Damn noise never stops
Birdowner
See her at the market
She
Civil War Lament Lyrics
They packed us up in boxes, wooden boxes
And sent us home
Underneath the willow, near the the river
By my headstone
And all you do is carry on
It's snowing now it's winter, river's frozen
And still you come
I can almost see you, and touch you
My pretty one
When all you do is carr
Didn't Know Where I Was Lyrics
Well you spoke about amnesia, as though it's where it's at
Your lover had a siezure, while her brother fed her pussycat
You were hanging from the railing, like a flag that's just been torn
You were trying, you were failing, you were screaming through the storm
Didn't know where I
Even As We Speak Lyrics
Yeah, and somebody said, if you really want to get ahead
You can make your bed, but you don't have to lie in it
So keep your bad advice, I listened to it once or twice
I'll just throw the dice and wait a minute
Even as we speak, the headlines of the week
They may be wrong, but I'
Every Hour God Sends Lyrics
So you fly, then you fall
Why'd you learn to walk, when you can crawl
Every hour god sends some wings
Every hour god sends some stones
You steal, and you scheme
You think therefore you are, and you seem
You seem a little nervous, just relax
Just give them all your innocence, you'
Everything Takes Forever Lyrics
As you stumble into the future
Remorselessly moving out of the past
And you separate the reflex moments of living
You drag down the morning into your room
You can sing with your partner
You can sing by yourself
You can sing that everything takes forever
You can sing with the vamp
Geneva 4 Am Lyrics
Airhostesses are dreaming at the bar
I thought I heard somebody say "I wish I was in America"
There's been no surprises here, not since the crash
There's been no survivors since the missus was blinded by the flash
I can't see you anywhere
But I look for you everywhere
Arms dealer
Number Eleven Lyrics
Plane crash in the desert, everybody walked away
Suitcase open to the breeze, light lifting up pretty heavy
So we climbed out, looked around us
Your shirt stuck to your skin
Wreckage shimmered under sky, nothing on the horizon
I know you can keep me warm
Have you ever seen the ev
Providence Lyrics
Remember when I told you
You were pretty lost
It seems you had it up to here
You just paid the cost
All I have, all I need, all you got, is providence
You're looking pretty tired
Seems you lost some weight
You made it through, I don't know how
That's what you can do
The plants sm
Ramble Lyrics
The very second time I walked in this room
You knew that I was gone
And just the way the sun slanted in
Made it all seem wrong
I know you say you love me
And somewhere I think that you do
I love all the tricks you've shown me
I'll cut myself in two
It's coming on again
So I saw t
Thought That I Was Over You Lyrics
Well I saw you at the opening
Somebody's hand was up your dress
You were showing off everything
Except your finesse
Thought that I
Thought that I was over you
Thought that I, thought that I
Thought that I was over you
In a shack one night in Brisbane
You said that I'd just missed
Threshold Lyrics
I can barely bear to be with you tonight
I can hardy stand to see you in this light
How can I even try to deny it
I can barely bear to be with you tonight
How long will you keep me waiting
I can only hold you in the dream tonight
I won't even think what claims you've made tonight
Trapeze Boy Lyrics
I hadn't thought about Mrs. Morgan for years, until I read in the paper
that she had died. When I was a boy, Mrs. Morgan played solo with my
mother every tuesday afternoon. There were two other women there, but
I can't remember their names anymore. Monkey, Magden, something like
