Diamond Dew

Awake, awake to love and work, luck is in the sky
Fields are wet, diamond dew, worlds awake to cry
Child comes home, home from school, singing merrily
Room is warm, organ plays, house by the sea

And we'll think it all again so lets
Keep the fire burning, and take in all the sights
Like the encovering of the bodies as the giant sun soars up
Oo, and we'll think it all again

Awake, awake to love and work, luck is in the sky
Fields are wet, diamond dew, worlds awake to cry
Child comes home, home from school, singing merrily
Love is warm, organ plays, house by the sea

And we'll think it all again so lets
Keep the fire burning, and take in all the sights
Like the encovering of the bodies as the giant sun soars up

Well there's evil in his eyes, as the child disobeys
And they play the sport at lunchtime as the giant sun soars up
Oo, and we'll think it all again


The Barafundle Bumbler

Another day has begun
Family comes in for
Doctor takes off the top
Mother is

And if my mother asks me
I'm only watching birds on the sea
Well what else could I do?
When loneliness is so cruel

Couples are best
When they start to caress
One finger here
One fing-

And if my mother asks me
I'm only colecting stamps up a tree
Well what else could I do
With no idea of you

You watch the ocean coming in and go
Lighting up around his toes
Like electricity 1 and 0, oo...
Ah, look at all the sun in her eyes


Starmoonsun

I'll tell you something
You can dance till you don't exist
But it never used to be like this

The sun sets over the water
And shines in my eyes
The stars and the moon are falling
Right out of the skies

And when you cry
There is no sky

The sun sets over the water
And shines in my eyes
The stars and the moon are falling
Right out of the skies

la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...

And when you cry
There is no sky


Patio Song

Well isn't it a lovely day
Oh, I'm feeling all brand new
Well isn't it a lovely day
Oh, boating on sunday with you

And if you really want to kiss her
Just go right up and tell her
Oh, isn't it a lovely day for love

Well isn't it a lovely day
Oh, my patio's on fire
Well isn't it a lovely day?
Oh no, words are wisdomd from liars

And if you really want to kiss her
Just go right up and tell her
Oh, isn't it a lovely day for

Mae'n bwrw glaw                                                                     It's raining
So dal fy llaw                                                             So hold my hand
Ond mae'r gaeaf mor hir                                             But the winter's so long
Mae'n cymryd gormod or tir                                       It takes too much of the land 

Dal fy llaw                                                                 Hold my hand
Mae'n bwrw glaw                                                      It's raining
Ond mae'r gaeaf mor hir                                            But the winter's so long
Mae'n cymryd gormod or tir                                      It takes too much of the land


Better Rooms

Oooh Oooh Oooh Ooh Ooh

There's better rooms in better times
And better times in better rooms
I know this place where we can go
The birds and trees they talk to me
And

Ooohh Ooohh Ooohh Ooh Ooh

There's better foods in better feasts
And better kings in better lands 
I know this place where we could be
The birds and trees they talk to me

And Ooohh Ooohh Oooh Ooh Ooh

Ooohh Ooohh Oooh Ooh Ooh


Heywood Lane

She came dressed in black
I'll follow you down
Down to the ground 
Let me at your washing rack
Aaahh

With you it's just the same 
Let me at that china rail.

Heywood Lane  -  la la la....
Heywood Lane  -  la la la....
The faces they're all the same - la la la...
Heywood Lane  -  la la la....

Auntie Clancy and Uncle Dillard
May I see the way you differ
What delightfull china cups 
We're not expecting the newly born pups.

Heywood Lane  -  la la la....
Heywood Lane  -  la la la....
Them faces they're all the same - la la la...
La la la....

Heywood Lane  -  la la la....
Heywood Lane  -  la la la....
Them faces they're not the same
Heywood Lane.

Cursed, Coined and Crucified

Instrumental


Sometimes The Father Is The Son

All that's safe to hear
Is collapsing around your ears
With a foundering return in the morning

Watch the Irish sea
Going out but it never takes me

Easy and free
To be whatever you want to be
Sometimes the father is the son

There's no reason to kill
But there's a reason to die
With a foundering return in the morning

Watch the Irish sea 
going out but it never takes me

Easy and free
To be whatever you want to be
Sometimes the father is the son

Easy and free
To be whatever you want to be
Sometimes the father is the son


Meirion Wyllt

I'm pekanese
I got no knees
I'm pekanese
I got no knees
Like cottage cheese
On authority
I'm pekanese
I got no_____

Meirion wyllt, meirion wyllt                                                     Wild Meirion, wild Meirion
Do oo doot do ah,
Meirion wyllt, meirion wyllt                                                     Wild Meirion, wild Meirion
Do oo doot do ah,

Repeat verse

Last chorus is:

Wild Meirion, Meirion wyllt
Do oo doot do ah,


The Wizard and the Lizard

It's a new day the sun has risen
A cock goes cock-a-doodle-doo
A cat curls his tail, and then meows
Alarm clock rings, a new day has begun

Lizard complains, "My voice never rings true"
Wizard proclaims, "That I shall cure you
And seek out the sun from the deepest south
And place it in a beam ______"

And from that day onwards, the lizard's voice rang true, echoing thousands of times, surfing the canyons rocks. Well, that's just the way it was.


Miniature Kingdoms

Changed by known immature
Charge it to all my friends
Cut it with dental floss

My miniature kingdom
My king size ego
Go back today (go back today)
My miniature kingdom                     X4

Changed my smile to a frown
Now that I'm in the real world
Just can't admit I'm lost

chorus


Dark Night

Dark night, darker than thee
Such a dark dark night dark for halloween
And the torches torches burning Bright
And Molly doesn't float on this dark dark night
    
But what is all of this liquid all inside my brain
Swooping around like indoor rain
That evening I was the rocks the moon shone right through me
Lit up the ripples in the sea
 
Dark dark night, darker than thee
All cables on the ground and children up all night
Down in the village, young girl burning bright
And the moonlight on this dark dark night
 
That evening I was the rocks the moon shone right through me 
Lit up the ripples in the sea in the sea
But what if all the liquid all inside my brain
Starts leaking out when starts the pain.


Hwyl Fawr i Pawb

Hwyl fawr i bawb, hwyl fawr i bawb                                         Good bye to everyone, good bye to everyone

Quite frankly, if you need the lyrics to this, I'm not sure what you're doing with a computer.


Wordless Song

I just can't find the words to say
I just can't find the words to say
Fit something died so deep inside
I just can't find the words to say 

today.....ooohhh....always....ooohhh
today.....ooohhh....always....ooohhh

Oh one day you'll find her sleeping oh oh on the dune
And beneath the August sun
Your song will come true

Down that road that
Leads to nowhere
Lies a soul for you to discover

And beneath the August sun
Your song will come true

Thanks to Brendan E Dougan for corrections to the song.
