SEE YOU'RE LEAVING  2.48

Close the gate behind you
Wave goodbye
Don't pretend you're crying
Don't tell lies

Got ready for this baby long ago

See you're leaving
See you got somewhere to go
See you're leaving
Almost glad to see you go
See you're leaving

Call me in a month or
Maybe two
When you got some news
Not just 'cos you're blue

Got ready for this baby long ago

See you're leaving
See you got somewhere to go
See you're leaving
Almost glad to see you go
See you're leaving

BLOOD AND BONE  2.39

Sticks and stones
Break my body
Rattle my bones
Flood and fire
Put together, well they
Create desire
But above all is love

Blood and bone
Sleep in soil I guess
I will call it home
When I'm gone
Something stronger
Will live on and on

Inside me now
It fills my soul
I feel as though
I've got the power of a god

But above all is love
To guide my hand
To hold you near
To let you know I've got the power of a god
Inside me now
I feel as though
I've got the power of a god

MARYANNE  3.39

Maryanne is hanging round our house
And she's fun
She's coming to our parties
Seducing everyone

Went walking in the Garden of Eden
Tonight pulled her snake moves on me
She's got a new way
To look and really see
Touch me with your melting hand
And my skin runs like a river

Hey you could change the world
You change me

Maryanne, Touch me with your prophet's hand
And I can see forever
Hey you could change the world
You change me

APOLLO  2.12

I fly in my sleep
High and sharply steep
I will drink from the sky
I'll raise my cup and take my fill
I will I've spent my life ready for this

I can feel the storm
Close heavy and warm
But I'm unafraid
I will face the dark and outrun it
Won't quit I've spent my life ready for this

Apollo I'm ready for this

Apollo so bright
I will lose myself
In the blistering light
Then you and I will become one
Dive into the sun
Dive into the sun

MISERY  2.49

You know I'm feeling bad
You only make it worse
I can't muster a thought
To get me through this verse
And I feel so alone
Like a dying memory
You won't see me again
'Til you catch my misery

Never made any plans
I only had a goal
I've come a million miles
To fall in this hole
I look up at you
Like an angel beckoning
But you won't see me again
'Til you catch my misery

My fingers are torn
From clinging to this ledge
One smile from you
And I'm off the edge
I don't want your help
That makes it worse for me
So you won't see me again
'Til you catch my misery

---

LOUD  2.34

Baby, you'll tell me won't you
I need to know where
Your head's at so I can tune in

Baby, you'll wake me won't you
The door's unlocked
Call any of my names
But say it loud

Loud loud loud
I get a little deaf

Baby, the sun's come up
Blind me with your
Fingertips wake me
With your lips
Say it loud

Loud loud loud
I get a little deaf

SAY IT  2.14

Say it three times don't tell a soul
Drink a whisper from a silver bowl
And you will get what you want

Say it three times give it power
Chant it clockwise for a single hour
And you will get what you want

Say it three times say it three times
Close your eyes and hold out your hand

Say it three times use special words
Under moonlight you will be heard
And you will get what you want

Say it three times say it three times
Close your eyes and hold out your hand

3 MINUTES  3.55

Call me God on earth, praise my worth
Kiss my image
Raise me so damn high I touch the sky
Then do your damage
You're sucking me dry, feed on me
Leave me empty

I know what you read how they mislead
What you think of me
We're the same inside yet I'm denied
My frailty
You're sucking me dry, drain my soul
I lose control

Three minutes at a time to space I go
To keep you happy
