And the street has got no end
Better keep your heart strong little friend
Thought I heard a resurrection song

you gotta get in to get out...

hollow to hold the music

Always a stranger
We touch at our edges
We pass in the morning
Oil on the water
My love is in flames and I'm always a stranger

...but, I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
to those that I'm fondest of...

Welcome To The Human Race

I’ve been loved and I’ve been hated
I’ve been praised and vilified
I’ve been accused and vindicated
And precious been applied

I’ve been interrogated validated
Left without my pride
Sometimes I have told the truth
Sometimes I have lied

And when I find my self
In a cold and empty space
And then a voice inside says welcome
Welcome to the human race

Welcome to the human race

I’ve been wounded, I’ve been damaged
I’ve been down upon my knees
Praying for forgiveness
From my enemies

Sometimes grand illusions
They start clouding up my eyes
Then I get lost in my illusions
But I get caught down aside
When I found I myself
With teardrops on my face
Then a voice inside, it says welcome
Welcome to the human race

Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to the human race

I’ve been in jail I’ve been in pail
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
Just what I’ve been running from
I guess I never know
I’ve been packaged and presented
For everyone to see
Welcome and resented
But I guess I am always gonna be

Hiding in the shadow
Just cryin’ upon my face
And I hear a voice inside me
That says welcome
To the human race

Welcome to the human race
It says welcome
Welcome to the human race

If you're walking around with these lyrics stuck in your head someone should take your shoelaces from you. 

Bind your tortoise mouth
With mist and curved teeth
The main joke had been cracked
And whilst the laughter melted
Into smaller worlds like whirlpools
Sucking in the slaughtering sheep
I looked at your face in pearl light
And sleepy the clouds that kiss your mouth
And silver-lidded the moon that laughed and cried
Whilst the crumbs of night that leap into
Shadows as windows close and curtains open
Hissed as smoke might if God could give it tongues
You were not alone in Sanctus sound
As bell shafts spires into liquid dogs
And cats curl and arch into kittens again
From the corner of my eye
I see Black Ships have killed the sky

And you're not alone in Sanctus sound
As bell shafts spires into liquid dogs
And cats curl and arch into kittens again
Yet from the corner of my eye
I see Black Ships kill the sky

Am I in ecstasy or next to see that fantasy's to blame...

Old lady with a barrow; life near ending

Standing by the harbour wall; warm wishes sending

children on the cold sea swell —-

not fishers of men —-

gone to chase away the last herring:

come empty home again.

So come all you lovers of the good life

on your supermarket run —-

Set a sail of your own devising

and be there when the Dutchman comes.

It barks at no one else
But me
Like it's seen
A ghost

I guess it's seen the sparks
A-flowin'
No one else
Would know

Two degrees in be-bop, a Phd in swing
He's the master of rhythm, he's a rock and roll king, yeah

Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Oh I want to believe in you now that I'm suffering
Oh Lord, I need to receive your hand in my heart
And he keeps an eye upon this town
The resignation superman
