Talk On 

Lay her gently 
gently slowly 
lay her in the ground 
I don't know if she'll come at all 
  
  
How About You 

Today If find all my world is slowly 
turning blue 
how about you 
I walk around with my head in the sky 
and it is blue 
how about you 
today I find all the things I held so high 
are in the ground 

I don't know why I don't know where 
I don't know if I even really care 
I only know that my world's turning blue 
how about you 

today I see a million faces in fading 
shades of blue 
how about you 
I felt so sure familiar places and 
children's skies are blue 
how about you 
  

Giving It All Away 

She never has to stop and think 
never makes you lose a thing 
she is so enchanting 
I always have to stop a while 
cross my hands and close my eyes 
I am so demanding 

when she smiles she opens wide 
touching you inside to lie 
life can be so so shaking handed 
nervously you're shaking signs 
life is better taken blind 
still you're left so disenchanted 

giving it all away 
giving it all away 

 you always have to stop and think 
desperately to find something 
that is even handed 
I never want to think a thing 
that shatters almost everything 
life can leave you hanging 
  
  

Justine 

you keep your pretty girls 
chained inside the dungeon 
and diamonds and pearls 
you keep them a'coming 
and give them all of your affection 

you keep your naughty boys 
locked inside the kitchen 
and when they make a noise 
a swish of your hand keeps them 
screaming out for your affection 

I don't know the why's and wherefores 
and I don't what's wrong or right 
I just know at night 
you give them all of your affection 
you keep your servants down 
swinging from the gallows 
and when they come round 

you smile and you say "hello" 
and give them all of your affection 
you give them all of your affection 
you give them all of your affection 
  
  

Do Yourself A Favour 

Isolated junkyard 
letting out the garbage 
eating through the core of life 
sweet fragrance irritates 
in a stale room death awaits 
persecute your own self pride 
suffocate the new high 
ride a thorny mule that cries 
dig your grave and jump right in 
like a judas pay the price 
thirty pieces for a ride 
here's the fire take a chew 

do yourself a favour 
educate your mind 
get yourself together 
hey there ain't much time 
shredded know-how gives away 
species of the human race 
those funky winds of ups and downs 
hall of grit is known too well 

heaven still is your hell 
poison slowly slowly drowns 
let the devil step right in 
lucifer's your only friend 
ain't a soul gon' pity you 
hurdle over time to death 
with open arms it waits I bet 
don't you wish you could reach ground 
  
  

Third Shade Of Green 

Third shade of blue 
the sky and you 
like the rain over the sea 
third shade of red 
the lovers bed 
crimson blood and rose 
third shade of green is all that you feel 
just like my love but half as unreal 
  
  

Sway 

I want to say yes to what you say 
if there's a movement then I want to sway 
get a piece of the action, uh huh 
I want to see you in the crowd 
and I want to point your face out very loud 
and get a piece of the action, uh huh 
don't you want a piece of the action 
don't you want a piece of the action 
yeah...oh yeah 

'sex-o-fact' it slips in vogue 
sells a star, furnishes your home 
you get a piece of the action, uh huh 
violence on the silver screen 
you got the most fashionable death since james dean 
you get a piece of the action, uh huh 
  

Penny pinching rainy heaven days 
every morning traffic 
every night I've had enough 
every day compromise 
life's no surprise after much 
'someday people' lock themselves away 
saving up for another empty.. 
penny pinching rainy heaven day 
no-one talks at night 
they scream and fight and say too much 
my wife dreams all days 
my life says it has heard enough 
  
  
One of those days 
and it looks like one of those days 
when my valentine ain't so funny yeah 
ain't so funny yeah 
and it looks like one of those days 
when I'm holding the same old conversation 
and it looks like one of those days 
when I'm losing all my concentration 
  
  
Is She Coming Home 

Is she coming home, I'll leave the light on 
but through times and space she'll go 
if she's coming home she won't tell me 
and I wonder if I should know 
wonder if I should feel something 
wonder if I should know but it's dark in here 
tip-toe softly do not wake her 
as she sleeps so very slow 
dim the light on her day-dream 
but her dreams you'll never know 
see her fading dress and frame it's colours 
for a memory you'll long to know 
drape the covers in her bedroom 
but life freezes with melting snow 
ah...is she coming home 
  
  
Blue Deep Ocean 

free blue deep ocean 
bed of evolution 
forgive the ignorance 
of man with money in his hand 
how can we freely agree 
I hang my head for you
