God Made Me Do It (don't ask me again)
I'm trying to bring him in from the dark
Trying to lose myself
There'so someone whispering in my ear tonight
I've got it playing in my heart
I've seen it before
When the winds were high
Bringing it down to earth
Making a noise in the thick of the night
I'm making it home again
There's someone whispering in my ear tonight
I've got it playing in my heart
Shaking is happening in the night
Shaking is coming down
Down, Down, Down, Down...
I'm bringing it home to town
The wind is low tonight
I'm bringing it home to town
It's the crime of admiration
That was moved from room to room
I'm bringing them home tonight
I'm bringing them home tonight
I'm bringing them home tonight
I'm bringing them home tonight

Davies and Wales
If I could make your day even better
We've got plenty of time, to make it work
I wanna take you downtown when you visit
It's a call, it's your call, it's your call
If you call it right
Make it happen for you in the future
It is better life than in your past
If you've ever moved
With the speed of light and distance
It's the easiest way to find your way out of town
And avoid the mistakes we made
When we were younger
We don't care who we hurt on the way up
Wales and Davies
Wales and Davies
Davies and Wales forever more
Wales and Davies
Wales and Davies
Davies and Wales forever more
If you've done things
You'd wished you've never done
Think of the things you're going to do tonight
But you're different now than you were yesterday
As your broken heart will surely show
And avoid the mistakes we made when we were younger
We don't care who we hurt on the way down
Wales and Davies
Wales and Davies
Davies and Wales forever more
Wales and Davies
Wales and Davies
Davies and Wales forever more
Wales and Davies
Wales and Davies
Davies and Wales forever more...

Calling You Out
I'm calling, calling
I'm calling
You out (calling)
I'm calling, calling
I'm calling
You out (calling)
Falling, falling
Falling, for you
I want to hear the footsteps climb
Lifting all their weight
Trying to make a shrinking world
As strong and just as safe
There's always room for change, my friend
I want you to explode
The last of any memory
Five six seven or more
It's been a kind of gift, my friend
To have you here at all
Among the broken promises
We ran into in the hall
I'm calling, calling
I'm calling
You out (calling)
I'm calling, calling
I'm calling
You out (calling)

Edge of Reason
When the world erupts
When the willow speaks to me
How can I help you
Seeing mankind is ohh not so kind
We tear it all apart
Justice, rage, fear is a man's best friend
Can you see the light through the rain
Take me to the edge of reason
Show me where the pain has been
Seems we've gone too far to fix it
Leave it for another time
We can reverse the hate
Can you hear the pain in all those lies
Or am I just too late
They're all ready for war
Boots strapped tight, they believe the hype
How can I help you
Justice, rage, fear is a man's best friend
Can you see the light through the rain
Take me to the edge of reason
Show me where the pain has been
Seems we've gone too far to fix it
Leave it for another time
You can hear it from the wilderness
You can hear it sung at night
You can hear it from the wilderness
You can hear it sung at night
You can hear them
Take me to the edge of reason
Show me where the pain has been
Seems we've gone too far to fix it
Leave it for another time
[top]
I'm Angry
I'm angry, angry and alone
I can't stop it, stop it all night long
Ican see you, smiling at the wall
I can see you smiling
Smiling back and forth
I'm kind of humble
You're kind of sorry
You're kind of feeling, to be afraid
When I told you,
When I told you I'd be hanging out to dry
I'm hanging out to dry
I'm hanging out to dry again
You're being a bad guy
You're being a bad guy, all alone
I see it coming, I hear you laughing
By the roadside, by the river
In the darkness, in the shadow of decline
I'm going back there, going back there
I'm going to find the way I was
It didn't matter, how far I took it
It didn't matter if I was
The kind of guy, the kind of guy
You'll like to smile at
It was the darkness
The kind of guy you like to smile at
Who's that dancing, who's that dancing now
Who's that dancing, who's that dancing in the light
[top]
How We See The Light
It's a lot like magic
It's a lot like friendship
It's the best of everything
Everything I've found
s
Sometimes you learn a thing or two
You learn a lesson
Then in the quiet ways of love
You wasted time
You tried to track me down
And now you finally found
The way we heard you
Call me out again
In between the way we see the light
Then we lose our minds
And jump a fence
In between the way we see the light
Then we lose our minds
And jump a fence
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Here goes a better idea
In the way we saw our lives
Were they more decisive now
Than in the future time
Can I close another chapter
In the way we run our lives
More decisive in the future
Or deliberate in the end
In between the way we see the light
Then we lose control
And jump a fence
In between the way we see the light
Then we lose control
And jump a fence
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Company Commander
There is a company commander
Smoking old dope
He would like to make you sick
Make your skin crawl
We'll se you In the morning
And we'll smell him all night
Don't you love it don't you love it
And don't you love it tonight
You're killing the constables
Every night
Dragging out the modules
Freedom in the darkness
Sincere, sincere, sincere
Who have ever thought it was sincere
And their company commander
He is smoking old dope
Trying to be different
It's all in his head
Give him give him all he wants
Give him give him everything
Give him give him all he wants
The right wingers burning their libraries down
Giving us the benefits and the doubt
Where did we lose of control of things
Was it Sunday when the circus came to town
[top]
Setting Fires
I set trees on fire
Burn down every house
Saw them burning in the morning
Come check it out
Everyday, everyday
soc the sun come down everyday
Set the trees on fire
It's the best way
It's the best way, to go
Start to shout again
It's bright and early
I can smell the earth
And every house
Give it away, give it away
Sense and sensibility
going away to sea
I'm going away
Give me everything you have
Let me have everything you have
Sense and sensibility
That's all I have
Take another look, see it turn red
Take another look, let it bleed
Take another look, the trees are on fire
What's it worth to you
To come and see me burn
What's it worth to you
To see me cry
You wanna be alive
You wanna be alive
You wanna be alive
You wanna be alive

Shark-Shark
You said that before...
Pedro eats his breakfast on the roof
Talks about it all the time
Cesar sharpens knives, in the back of the van
Black black, sing it again
Shark shark, take me down
Shark shark, take me down
Lucy got a gig
Shark shark, take me down
Shark shark, take me down
Lucy likes to sing
Talk talk, in the back of the room
Hard work, at the end of the day
Learn how to be a winner in the end
Faster than the speed of light
Shark shark, take me down
It's the way you think
Shark shark, take me down
It's the way you dance
Shark shark, take me down
It's the way you see
Shark shark, take me down
It's the way you go
(end up in jail, end up in jail...)
Shark shark, take me down
Lucy got a gig
Shark shark, take me down
Lucy got a gig
Shark shark, take me down
That's the way to go
Shark shark, take me down
Lucy likes to sing
(shark, shark, shark, shark...)
Shark shark, take me down
Shark shark, take me down
Shark shark, take me down
Lucy got a gig (Lucy got a gig)
Shark shark, take me down
Got a gig, got a gig, got a, got a gig
Take me down, take me down
Take me down, take me down

Funkball the Brewster
Tell me to go to hell
I'll be trying my best, to do it
Tell me to go away
And I'll do it
Tell me to go to hell again
Wink at me once, wink at me twice
I'll be there
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
I'll be tearing you apart again
I've got nothing
Nothing to say to you
I've got nothing
Nothing, nothing
Nothing.... Nothing!
I've got nothing to say to you
I've got nothing to say to you
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Scream

All To The Good
When you're standing here in a haze
Standing here waiting for me
I'd been listening to you
Talking quietly
It's all to the good
It's all to the good
We've been hoping for the
Good times to last
If I have as much to say as you think
It's the best way to simplify
The words I had in mind
Just let them speak for themselves
It's all to the good
It's all to the goodd
It's so nice to have you here
It's so nice to have you here
It's so nice to have you here
It feels so good, it's blowing my mind
When I heard you tell
Those stories in the night
I was glad for you
To answer my questions
But if you were tired of hearing those words
All made up of lies
It's all to the good
It's all to the good
It's all to the good
It's all to the good
It's all to the good
It's all to the good

Laughing In My Sleep
Her heart is broken
She said to me I
didn't believe it
I was lost sea
The rain has stopped
I wish it well
I hope it continues till I drop
Is it safe now to hear her
When she's sad and alone
She's not listening, she's not giving up
She's just saying the first thing she hears
I've been there before
Like the Wizard of Oz
I've seen much of it grow
Like the Wizard of Oz
Can I help it, can I help you
Is there room for more than two
[top]
There Will Be No River
The thunderstorms are gone
Beaming me down Scotty
Again and again
The words failed to come
And no no no
I've seen it come
And I've seen it go
Who would've thought we were done
We've been here so many times before
But there was something you'd see
Or something you'd hear
That made you come back again
There was to be no river
With me floating in the water
Like a magical piece of code
