Tortured and Tired

I want you
Said you wouldn’t know
If I sang it to you so
Do you see me as I trail
Like a star across the sky
Shooting with a spark
Yeah I’m heart-struck in the dark
First thing on my mind
When I wake up I am
Thinking of you
I want you
There was something in my head
I was hanging at your door
Like a cat without a claw
Hoping that you’d hear
As I cry out for you
To pick me up
I want you
There was something in the air
In the way you shift your mouth
A sweet but slight surprise
I am hanging on your eyes
For a gaze that says back to me
I want you too
You leave them behind
You leave them behind
You leave them behind
You leave them behind
I’m tortured and tired
I don’t want to stop
Thinking about you
Like a doll to a child
Tortured and tired
Tortured and tired
I don’t want to stop
Thinking about you
Like a doll to a child
Tortured and tired
Tortured and tired
I don’t want to stop
Thinking about you
Like a doll to a child
Tortured and tired

Swallowing Me Whole
02:57

I’m alone with you
Lost in a trance
My mind is swirling
I cannot focus
Whole body in a bind
Show me your battle scars
I’ll show you mine
I’ll show you mine
I’ll show you mine
I’ll show you mine
HA!
What do you do
Oh, what do you do
HA!
Where is your angel
Oh, where is your devil
Just swallowing me whole
In the belly of the beast
I see it all
The city’s on fire
The city’s on fire
Catch 22
Quarter to 5
Mystery flower on my windscreen
You’re the visions in my mind
That shout and scream
That shout and scream
These fantasies
Shout and scream
HA!
What do you do
Oh, what do you do
HA!
Where is your angel
Oh, where is your devil
Just swallowing me whole
In the belly of the beast
I see it all
The city’s on fire
The city’s on fire
Swirling, focus, 22, uh-oh.

I once knew a man who lived over the river bend
In a squat on a hill just past West End
American man with a golden man
And a Jesus beard you couldn’t tame
Lived from the land and hand to mouth
Travelled by foot and he travelled far
And his name, oh his name
Charles Heffernan
Charles Heffernan
Say Chucky oh where are you now
I’ve been lookin all over this town
In the parks in the trees in the vagrant’s houses
By parking lots and under the starses
Oh, where’d you go, how’d you get there, what was it like
Charles Heffernan
Remember that night we drank and smoked
A whole packet of camels I nearly choked
My throat did tickle and my voice was hoarse
For three months or more I could barely talk
Oh, did you make it home that night or did you find a new one instead
Charles Heffernan
Say Chucky I was wondering, did you ever forgive him
He left you when you were very young
And things weren’t ever quite the same again
He was hungry for the bottle you were hungry for his love
And I know something of your pain
Though for me it’s not quite the same
Charles Heffernan
Charles Heffernan
Charles Heffernan
Charles Heffernan
Tell me did you ever settle down
Wife and kids outta town
Or are you just wandering still
Like a vagabond alchemist through the hills
And I wish that we kept in touch
Maybe it did not mean that much
But I still oh I think of you
You’ve been wandering through the back streets of my mind again

Getting Ready
04:23

I’m sitting here
In my best dress
Weeping
Tomorrow never gonna come
You sit there
This time
Nearer the door
What are you waiting for
There’s a truth to anything
Blink and you might
Miss the whole film
Tell me, tell me, tell me
(are you getting ready)
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
(are you getting ready)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Are you getting ready
To run or pounce
To run or pounce
There’s all kinds of wrong
And all kinds of right
But this time honey, you’ve crossed that line
And I don’t mind
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
And I don’t mind
There’s a greenness
To your eyes
Searching around
For a natural surprise
Tell me, tell me, tell me
(are you getting ready)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
(are you getting ready)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Are you getting ready
To run or pounce
To run or pounce
To run or pounce

Electric Blue

Electric blue shock treatment
Sends me over the edge
I’m fumbling around
Tryin to find
A way through
To your seaside view
And I could get lost inside
Inside your waters for days
The seasons change in your face
But instead I look away
It’s true it’s true
Lookin into
Electric blue
Makes me go wild
Makes me go wild
Makes me go wild
Makes me go wild
Makes me go wild
Electric blue
Shock treatment
Sends me over the edge
Yeah I’m fumbling around tryin to find
A way through to your seaside view
I could get lost inside your waters for days
Makes me go wild

I Wanna Get High
04:35

I wanna get high
Above it all
To the sky
To see the specks
And miles
I wanna get low
Below the trees
To the ground
To see the roots
And the seeds
To see the roots
And the seeds
Heart-struck by close shaves
Of your ways
Heart-struck by close shaves
Of your ways
Take what you will
This is a thrill
I’m at your mercy now
And I’m along
Along
Along for the ride
I’m along for the ride
I wanna get high
I wanna get low
I wanna grow up one day
I wanna die old
I wanna fade out
I wanna fade in
I wanna flip out
I want to stay bold
Heart-struck by close shaves
Of your ways
Heart-struck by close shaves
Of your ways
Take what you will
This is a thrill
I’m at your mercy now
And I’m along
Along
Along for the ride
I’m along for the ride
I’m along for the ride
I’m along for the ride

Heart Gallop
02:36
|

|
am dumb I’m stupid
I’m blind I’m fucked up inside
Wait I got the answer here
On this piece of paper
On this centerfold
On this canvas of green
It’s a riddle the centre cannot hold
I’ve got the answer I got the answer
Think I wrote it down somewhere
I’ve got the answer
No wait, false alarm I lost it again
Slippery like a slide
I’m fired up inside
Tryin to fight the ride
Yeah going against the tide
Maybe it’s symmetry, maybe it’s poetry
Maybe it’s gonna pass in time
Maybe it’s cyanide, I can’t keep fighting the feeling
My mind is reeling
I am caught I am hooked
I am shaken and shooked
Like a snow globe in your hands
Heart galloping
Yeah I bolted the gates
When’s it gonna end, I do not know
This feeling just keeps going
Just keeps overflowing
Over the lips of this tin
Sink in to the depths within
Hey, I’m gonna explode
Shake me up fold me out
Origami twist and shout
My mind’s a cyclone I’m spinning from this bout
Heart galloping
Yeah I bolted the gates
When’s it gonna end
I do not know
This feeling just keeps going
Just keeps overflowing

Swan Ride

Swan ride floating in
I am the host you are my guest
I step outside myself
And see the scene unfold
See the scene unfold
I am lost out in the cold
And you are found inside my treasure chest
I look into the abyss
And see the scene unfold
See the scene unfold
He knows he knows he knows
He knows he knows he knows
That he moves me
I am tryin to pretend
That my heart is not suffering
Despite the alchemy, despite the deep blue sea
And see the scene unfold
See the scene unfold
Now I am going overboard
Just stop me if you’re bored
I will replay this in my mind
With different endings every time
And see the scene unfold
See the scene unfold
She knows she knows she knows
She knows she knows she knows
She knows she knows she knows
That he moves me
That it moves me

Mining Town Blues
04:01
|

I woke up, in the middle of the night
Pretty song in my head it was
Pumping out its tune
Rest of the day I been
Tryin to get it back
But it's gone into the ether
It ain't ever coming back
And it's kinda like how you left me
Left me feeling kinda cold and blue
Oh it is, kinda like how you left me
Left me feeling kinda cold and blue
I gotta fill out these forms
To prove my existence
Like I was some kinda criminal
Living off the system
Thought I needed some help
So I put out my hand
But they keep, slapping it away
Telling me I'm bad
And it's like a stretched friendship
It's left me feeling kinda cold and blue
Oh it is, like a stretched friendship
It's left me feeling kinda cold and blue
There ain't no jobs left, in this state no more
C'ept for in the mining towns
All this flying in, flying out
Flapping about
But I'm at home with my darling, with my cats
And I might leave to go on holidays
Or to sing this song to you
And it's left me feeling kinda cold and blue
The way they've been ripping up our land
Just for fossil fuels
Oh yeah it's left me feeling kinda cold and blue
It's like handing over your soul
To fuel their mining boom
I woke up in the, middle of the night
Pretty song in my head it was
Pumping out its tune
Rest of the day I been
Trying to get it back
But it's gone into the ether
It ain't ever coming back
And it's kinda like how you left me
Left me feeling kinda cold and blue
Oh it is, kinda like how you left me
Left me feeling kinda cold and blue

Lately
03:11
|

Lately I’ve been wondering what it’d be like
For our eyes to lock our mouths to open wide
And swallow the feeling in the air
Take it deep down inside
Let it sit there for a while
Oh but this feeling
I can’t hide
This feeling
So sublime
Cos my mind is a trap
For all kinds of prey
But this time baby I’m sorry
You came under my gaze
And my body is a vessel
That I move to the sway
Of the longing inside
That won’t go away
Oh but this feeling
I can’t hide
This feeling
So sublime
Oh yeah this feeling
I can’t hide
And I know we’re out of time
And I know we’re out of time
I’m sorry if I wasted your time
I’m sorry if I wasted your time
