Silvertongue 04:14
I can get us in anywhere And I see you smile, Not a care Debonnaire. Sivertongue in a second-hand suit All week waits for the call to come. Doors are opening, One by one, one by one. Hooking up to get us inside. Taking me along for the ride. Big sounds, Buzz in the atmosphere. Pinch myself Can't believe I am here. Loose words lead to an argument And I see him fall Into it, into it Red wine spills as he gets to his feet I'm still dancing, He's out on the street

60's 04:42
Here's a man who makes a stand, With broken hands And no sense of irony Just too flat To mind the gap Remember him In boots and finery Hold on to 60's Here's a dandy Takes the stand Defender of the received mythology Never entering your mind, This world is blind to your design Here's a song that lingers on Beneath the thrum Of the dull machinery Hold on to 60's Trace the times The broken lines He shrugs and smiles Like a small apology He said "we had a purpose then, it just faded like pachouli scent" He said: "My mind is paralysed They froze me in time My life is fossilised" Remember him in boots and finery

Billy 03:39
Billy steps up to the stage Unaware of the crown, all around And then he sits and starts to play And he can play anything, and right now Billy is king. Oh Billy, I wonder what it's like for you We may never ever really know the truth Oh Billy, what does the world sound like to you We may never ever really know the truth You woke them with your playin No-one could explain it For years you didn't make a sound Now you can let it out Oh Billy, I wonder what it's like for you We may never ever really know the truth Oh Billy, what does the world sound like to you We may never ever really know the truth

All the ragged friends you never made (was I too good for them?) Souvenirs you took along the way ('till you had no use for them) They are all just milestones to you now (with the weeds groan over them) Now the grain of time has worn you down (now you're overgrown) All the troubled smiles and furrowed brows (worn with no care for them) Tiny hooks that pull your head around (thoughts with no end to them) Disappear like shadows left behind when the light comes over them When the sunlight pours into your mind Sun shines out of nowhere You are with me in the sun

Hover 04:39
Autumn comes and I can feel Leaves hit the ground Stepping on the gravel stones They fill my head with sound Wings of a dragonfly Hover over water And there is no time The moment's mine and then it's over And I say goodbye Winter comes and I can see Smoke from the town Dissolving into nothingness But still I taste it now Hey darl it seemed to me Life was never-ending Now the moment's mine There's no design and no pretending And I say goodbye
6.
Trafalgar 04:17
A nightmare wakes the lions of Trafalgar Square They stretch and preen, survey the scenes of disrepair And shake their giant heads at how the country's gone At darkness fallen since the setting of the sun. And from his column Nelson sniffs the atmosphere: "A country saved, now bankers make the killings here!" "Ungrateful waistrels should be stateless!" he decrees "The natural order's fallen into anarchy!
