Look at her
She’s clumsy and poor
No one will ever be sure
What is it she does with her life
Strangest of girls
She never gets out
Find a friend you need someone
Posters hanging on the walls
She talks to them
When she’s alone
Hey John Martyn
I wrote you a song
And laughs and suns and afternoons
Wasted away
Alone
We’ll find a way to love you
From now on
Strangest of girls
She never gets out
Sorry we had never seen
The light of day
On what you bring
The world is better with you in it
Don’t go just now
We’d love you to sing
And laughs and suns and afternoons
Wasted away
Alone
We’ll find a way to love you
From now on

Bluest of birds
Flying by my window
Baby
You’re seen and heard
Let’s meet by the willow tree
We’ll kiss and make plans
Like it’s our wedding
Keep holding my hand
I’m disappearing
Ain’t life beautiful
Baby
Ain’t life beautiful
Bluest of birds
Flying by my window
Baby
You’re seen and heard
Ain’t life beautiful
Ain’t life beautiful Baby

Here’s a prayer
Well found
Deep in the pocket of my jeans Here’s for later
If I cry
From loving you too deep
I kept it folded up
Close to my at all times In case you go
I hold it hold it up
To the light
So I can read every word you wrote
I thing it’s time
For us to find us
I thing it’s time
For us to find us now
Find each other now
For us to find us now
Ain’t no changes
That I can find Just a mandoline
And my dear god
Think it’s time
For us to find us
For us to find each other now I think it’s time
I Think it’s time

Stop! And listen! And think about,
Whatever you wanna think about,
Stop! And listen! And think about,
Whatever you wanna think about,
Floating over the rainbow,
All across the sea,
Opened up my arms, she came to me,
Tell me something I don't know,
Do you care to be?
Open up your eyes girl then you'll see,
Laid me down a pillow,
Wrapped me up in sheets,
Held my hand and sung me soft to sleep,
Stop! And listen! And talk about,
Whatever you wanna talk about,
Stop! And listen! Hey! I'm talking’ to you, hey!
I'm talking’ to you hey yeah,
I won't do, anything, anything you tell me to do,
I won't say, anything, anything you tell me to say,
You oughta know, that by now,
You oughta know that by now now now.

Saw a vision
Within my broken sleep
Looming shadows
Feels like they’re watching me
Pick up my baggage
Strap it onto my back
It’s been a long long road back home But I am coming for you
We will run
Faster than our lungs Living like we’re young Treading ground Chasing down the sun We’re lovers on the run
I won’t chase the past Cos these moments count
I pull you to my chest
Where our heart beats met
Once that fear taught me
Then became my god
But it’s been a long long road back home From the ghost shaped shadows
From the mist in the meadows
They’re chasing hard
I’m running faster
They’re chasing hard
I’m running faster
From the ghost shaped shadows, shadows, From the mist in the meadows

It’s been a long wait but the time has comeIt’s finally hereYou can turn the pageStart a newIt begins right here
Don’t run away run awayPush against the grain keep the world spinning in your wakeOh you’re weird and you’re wonderfulCome shine bright with me

Come on let’s goCome on let’s goIt’s gonna be a good day good dayIt’s gonna be a good dayCome and let goCome and let goIt’s gonna be a good dayit’s gonna be a good day good day
Slow it rightNow don’t give in to fearYou got it on the ropesKeep it going ’til it’s disappearedStep insideJust dive in the love you’ve made yeah there’s plenty more left to giveNo you can’t tame the stormBut just wait and the clouds will clearIt’s a technicolor life just wait and see
Come on let’s goCome on let’s goIt’s gonna be a good day good dayIt’s gonna be a good dayCome and let goCome and let goIt’s gonna be a good dayIt’s gonna be a good day good day
Here we go againHere we go again just live for todayHere we go againHere we go again keep riding the wave
Here we go againHere we go again come on seize the todayHere it comesHere it comes
Come on let’s goCome on let’s goIt’s gonna be a good day good dayIt’s gonna be a good dayCome and let goCome and let goIt’s gonna be a good dayIt’s gonna be a good day good day

I can never let the past away
I can never lie
I’ve seen too much of what it does

And if I relish the walking in
I can never lie
I’ve seen too much of what it does

And certainty’s the worst of them
For what it’s worth I fear that one
Probably the only thing I understand

I can never chase the vanished thirst
I can never lie
I released that one a while ago
Wouldn’t even blame the family curse
Wouldn’t even try
I wasn’t made a friend or foe

And certainty’s the worst of them
For what it’s worth I fear that one
Probably the only thing I understand

And the truth that we can grab sometimes
Is enough for me

Now that we’re parting
Now that we’re parting
I see you
Now that we parted
Now we’re parting
I see you

I get it now you’re part of me we’re cut in half
I get it now you’re a part of me we’re cut in half
(Well there’s nothing back home)
I see it now but too late

Now that we’re parting
I see it now bu too late
Now that we’re parting
Now that we parted
I see it now but too late

You’re a part of me
(And I get that there’s nothing back home)
Now that we’re parting
I see you
Now that we’re parting
I see you
Now that we parted
You’re all I need
I see you

I see you
I get it now you’re part of me we’re cut in half
(Now that we’re parting)
I get it now you’re a part of me we’re cut in half
Too late

Deep breath, he’s watching your chest
You’re counting down from the blue

One, two, three get to the green
Red touch like a lover’s ruse

Why did you choose to waste your poison?
Why did you choose to waste your poison?

(No way) Say it ain’t so, the blood runs cold like a sinner man
(No way)Venom exposed, the blood runs cold like a sinner man

Well did you want it?
You want it, you don’t get it
Did you get it?
You don’t get it at all

Well did you want it?
You want it, you don’t get it
Did you get it?
You don’t get it at all

Bird has sung, got to lower the gun
The gun is gonna count to three, two, one
You gon’ gonna run but the luck has run on
Gasping for the air you breathe

Why did you choose to waste your poison?

So Cold... So Cold...

(No way) Say it ain’t so, the blood runs cold like a sinner man

(No way) Bullet in my lungs, the blood runs cold like a sinner man

(No way) (No way) (No way)

I need to love tonight
Love tonight, love tonight, love tonight,
Love

It’s not the same game
Now you’re really down

You try to keep safe again

Turn your life around

She told you to be better

She told you to be someone

You looked away tried to linger

And required to be alone

She told you to be angry

She told you to be calm

You ran away when you saw the fire

Drifted away from your own home

It’s not the same game

Now you’re really down

You try to keep safe again

Turn your life around

Songs ring out inside his walls

Feels like a stranger in his house

A day among the unknown

Just tryin’ to be the perfect spouse

You’re not the same boy

Now you feel the pressure

You’re not overjoyed

But you deal with censure

She told you to be better

She told you to be someone

You looked away tried to linger

And required to be alone

She told you to be angry

She told you to be calm

You ran away when you saw the fire

Drifted away from your own home

Jimmy thinks, time can heal his wounds He learns to speak a foreign language Holds the for to be safe in
Winter’s coming, dreams
are smashed to smithereens
Too tired to wauk in any direction To find a peaceful place dreams
He’s running around
And trying to find some new stories He’s goes back and forth
Gives up hiz werld of certainties
Jimmy talks, of a future time
He’s floating around some situations And seems to be all worn out
Summer’s coming, his dreams are faded now He carries on wandering the streets
Looking for some kind of clues
Jimmy thinks, time can heal his wounds He learns to speak a foreign language And holds the fort to be safe in
Winter’s coming, his dreams are smashed to smithereens
Too tired to walk in any direction
To find a peaceful place
He’s running around
And trying to find some new stories He’s goes back and forth
Gives up his world of certainties

I follow you downI cannot turn aroundThe choice is not my ownBecause where you are is my home
I follow you downI Cannot turn aroundThe choice is not my ownBecause where you are ismy homeI Follow You Down, Follow You Down
I’ve made up my mindTo stay by you sideFor better or worseI’ll fight or I’ll die firstI’ll fight or I’ll die first
Home is where the heart isWhere the darkness ends and light shines over meYou’re the one I needTo make believeThis story can still turn out well
If home is where the heart is and you reap what you sowWe better get it started coz I’m ready to goYou’ve taken what you wanted and it’s all out on showFeeding time for animals who reach a new low

Through Your Open DoorTime cut in sound
A sharper blade for a signal doubt
Hands cold enough
Arms raised as a lightning mast
A theatre of one
A voice overrun
Ringing through the valley of resonance
Rope winding down but
Held higher than we could reach to climb

Streets lead your smile
Played famous and versatile
Sleeps through the fire
Collateral battle cries fight
Confessant dark
Incessant spark
Racing shadows on rustic arks
We won’t bend
Won’t resist to enlist our lips againAnd sing your madrigalSee the girl she hides seeks
Climbs the pedestal
Say you'll now lead
Walk me through your open door
through your open door
And sing your madrigal
Sing your madrigal
And sing...

Strange EntertainmentMake it funny / Make it wild
Entertain us for a while
You are here to rule the party
So you play the full to make them happy

It’s ok It’s all right
They’re drinking getting high
You are here but you feel sorry
If no one cares about you don’t worry

You know you gonna take your time
You know one day you’ll be on top
That day you will step of the line
That it’ll fade out and stop

I got you come on
Come on to me
Get it all on
All inside me

Make it funny / Make it wild

You are here but you feel sorry
If no one cares about you don’t worry

I got you come on
Come on to me

It’s Ok It’s all right It’s Ok It’s all right....

Useless Memories
Take the page and tear it out
Blow away the pieces

Of a story that just brought
Tears and disillusionsMemories are fading out
In a fog of faces
Is it me or is it that
I can't bear the tracesOf your passage in my life
Of the wreckage that you left behind
I'll erase
All the traces of you and me
I will chase
All those useless memories
Memories wither some day
Like the flowers you gave
They just slowly fade away
Like the colors I savedOf your passage in my life
Now this image is in black and white
I'll erase
All the traces of you and me
I will chase
All those useless memories
