Some Finer Day


1. Phased

    After laughing at the stars the time 
arrives to coincide with all the chaos and 
the sparks of when two worlds collide
    And it's been hours now ; feels like
days. We've been hours now, in these waves.
    We've been phased We've been 
alchemized...Melted, liquified and dried
and left to crystallize.
    And it's been hours now ; feels like 
days. We've been hours now in these waves
We've been phased...

2. Yesterday Goodbye

    It's unclear why we have to wait.
One more day in here, and it could be too 
late.
    And all this time has passed us by,
kissing yesterday 'goodbye'. Yesterday
flies by.
    Senses multiply. We have seventeen
where we had only five. And all this time
has passed us by... kissing yesterday 
'goodbye'.



3. Mine

It doesn't hurt me when you pull my 
strings... My purse, my heart, guitar 
and everything. These demands are slowly 
turning me into something of a tragedy /
charity.
    My house is your house, my life is 
mine. My car is your car but my mind 
is mine, all mine. This is where I draw 
the line it's all mine.
    What you want, well you just 
can't have. What you want is your
life's worth. it drifts around in the 
universe and rockets backwards to the
Earth.



4. Freeze

My hallucination, every drug that I 
need. I love you for your beauty. I love you
for the books you read. I watch you laze 
in the sun, I watch your head come 
undone ; you smile ; the man and child with 
bee-stung lips where my tongue trips and 
curls and you kiss like a girl.
    It frees me... frees me from the freeze.
    And with the liberation everything's 
taken higher ; And every complication, 
another spark for the fire. You're nothing 
more than eighteen but you are more than 
you seem to be. You'll win me with pale 
white hands and soft demands and ways
to set the days ablaze.
    it frees me from the freeze...
    You're like a favourite saint kept
alive in prayer and paint. One looked a
lot like you... saucer-eyed and stoned
and out of the blue.



5. Things He Told Her

    He came with his mystic tricks...
Exchanged for a crucifix. Those things he 
said would come true , she don't know 
if she'd like them to.
    And now it's ten years on with
several layers of youth and beauty gone
And now she's ten years older, hanging on
to the things he told her.
    If she's good, will it still occur?
Those things that he said would be. She 
can't wait for Eternity.
    And now it's ten years on with every
shred of faith it's dead and gone And 
now she's ten years older, hanging on to 
the things he told her...
    Dont blame the illusionist for those
mouths that you should've kissed



6. Infrared

    The sacred and the scared align and 
call on me to break the ballerina's spine.
My heart has fallen where he lands, when 
he lands.
    The sound of every word you said hit
like a wave of infra red... I'd really like 
to stay but I've got to go home, alone.
    Summer came and summer went while 
we contrived to re-invent the scene serene.
    The sound of every word you said hit
like a wave of infra red ; I'd really like to 
stay...
    Frosted glass the window stains your
face and shattered ice becomes kaleidoscopes 
of colour, taste and sound and turns the 
ground into the liquid of the sea, the 
liquid friction of the see-saw swaying, 
drugged among the shards of splintered 
snow to where the ultraviolet rays stain
the whiteness of your skin where wheels 
of white light shine and spin towards the
essence of the end, then re-beginning 
in slow-motion... slow-motion...



7. I Don't Know

    I know he called me yesterday to
say all the things that he wants to 
say He walks he talks, he reads my 
thoughts and he's real when the sun distorts.
    He spend the weekend half asleep
and dream where the sleep is deepest. We
walk we talk, reveal our thoughts and
we reel when the circuit shorts
    Is this all that we need ? I don't know.
    Is this all that we see ? I don't know.
Nevermore is just a while and far away
is a thousand miles. Years are light
but dark the night and everybody's 
saying it'll be alright.



8. Dream Butcher

    Did you know that plastic men use blood 
in their fountain pens...tell you how they're 
on your team and seem to mean it ?
    Please don't believe all you hear.
    Now that you're clothed and you've been
fed, here comes the candle to light you to bed.
How that you've gained your higher ground,
here come the butcher to cut you..
    Down an out and in a state of "easy 
to manipulate" : Take the cash and learn to 
crawl... Small-print smiler smiles while 
his knives never show.
    Big wheels see you're on your own in
green fields. Fat the calf the butcher laughs a
loud mouth watering, slaughtering your 
dreams.
    Work it out... can you afford to sell 
your Self for small reward and only 
have yourself to blame ? - Shame on 
someone.



9. Some Finer Day

    Ride on the storm I made. I glide on
the ashes of the sky. My blue raincoat 
makes me say 'No' today. Hey, when 
does weather ever change
    Some finer day, say things go my 
way ; some finer day, I'll play your 
sunshiny girl (irony!)
    Ride the mercury with me see how
unpredictable it feels. Red this shelter,
where we fell to the ground Found out 
the weather never changed
    Some finer day...I'll play your
sunshiny girl... And brighten up my 
world with sunflowers and book I have 
burned and see what you want me to 
see and I'll be what you want me to 
be...

10. Blindfolded Visionary

    Cut my hair with a kitchen knife, he
was a blindfolded visionary. Everything 
and nothing was going on in his precious 
head, overfed on ;
    Chemicals and conversation
    A speeding train without a station
    Crashed at my event-horizon
    Feeling for the switch to turn his eyes on.
And in the news, they have to say he is a
blinfolded visionary. I scrape the clouds 
of rouge from his face and he's white as 
noise.



11. Outshine The Sun

    Is it fair to say the world's gone bad ?
Is it fair to say that we've been had ? I'm 
thinking it over, think it over again.
    This is the time to set the world alight.
This is the time to set the world to right. We're
taking advantage of a rumour we started.
    I'm losing the feeling.
    My life is losing its meaning.
He shines so hard. There's nowhere to run.
He blinds, his mind outshines the sun.
Imagine what he could become He's only 
begun to outshine the sun.
    When the gods are shaken from the 
sky, there's a scientific reason why.
There's no wish to replace them and no-one's 
rushing in to win the race to fill the empty 
space
