PINK MOON

I saw it written and I saw it say

Pink moon is on its way

And none of you stand so tall

Pink moon gonna get ye all

And it's, yes it's a pink moon

Pink moon

Pink, pink, pink, pink

Pink, pink moon.

Pink, pink, pink, pink

Pink, pink moon.

I saw it written and I saw it say

Pink moon is on its way

And none of you stand so tall

Pink moon gonna get ye all

And it's a pink moon

Yes, a pink moon.

PLACE TO BE

When I was younger than before

I never saw the truth hanging from the door

And now I'm older see it face to face

And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place.

And I was green greener than the hill

Where flowers grow and the sun shone still

Now I'm darker than the deepest sea

Just hand me down, Give me a place to be.

And I was strong, strong in the sun

I thought I'd see when day was done

Now I'm weaker than the palest blue

Oh, so weak in this need for you.

ROAD

You can say the sun is shining if you really want to

I can see the moon and it seems so clear

You can take the road that takes you to the stars now

I can take a road that'll see me through

I can take a road that'll see me through.

You can take a road that takes you to the stars now

I can take a road that'll see me through

I can take a road that'll see me through

I can take a road that'll see me through.

WHICH WILL

Which will you go for

Which will you love

Which will you choose from

From the stars above

Which will you answer

Which will you call

Which will you take for

For your one and all

And tell me now

Which will you love the best.

Which do you dance for,

Which makes you shine,

Which will you choose now

If you won't choose mine

Which will you hope for

Which can it be

Which will you take now

If you won't take me

And tell now

Which will you love the best.

THINGS BEHIND THE SUN

Please beware of them that stare

They'll only smile to see you while

Your time away

And once you've seen what they have been

To win the earth just won't seem worth

Your night or your day

Who'll hear what I say.

Look around you find the ground

Is not so far from where you are

But don't too wise

For down below they never grow

They're always tired and charms are hired

From out of their eyes

Never surprise.

Take your time and you'll be fine

And say a prayer for people there

Who live on the floor

And if you see what's meant to be

Don't name the day or try to say

It happened before.

Don't be shy you learn to fly

And see the sun when the day is done

If only you see

Just what you are beneath a star

That came to stay one rainy day

In autumn for free

Yes, be what you'll be

Please beware of them that stare

They'll only smile to see you while

Your time away

And once you've seen what they have been

To win the earth just won't seem worth

Your night or your day

Who'll hear what I say.

Open up the broken cup

Let goodly sin and sunshine in

Yes that's today

And open wide the hymns you hide

You find reknown while people frown

At things that you say

But say what you'll say

About the farmers and the fun

And the things behind the sun

And the people round your head

Who say everything's been said

And the movement in your brain

Sends you out into the rain.

KNOW

Know that I love you

Know I don't care

Know that I see you

Know I'm not there.

FREE RIDE

I know you

I care too

I see through

All of the pictures that keep you on the wall

All of the people that will come to the ball

But hear me calling, won't you give me

A free ride

But hear me calling, won't you give me

A free ride.

I know too

What you do

When you're through

Counting the cattle as they go by the door

Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor

But hear me calling, won't you give me

A free ride

But hear me calling, won't you give me

A free ride.

I know you

I care too

I see through

All of the pictures that keep you on the wall

All of the pictures that keep you on the wall

But hear me calling, won't you give me

A free ride

But hear me calling, won't you give me

A free ride.

PARASITE

Lifting the mask from a local clown

Feeling down like him

Seeing the light in a station bar

And travelling far in sin

Sailing downstairs to the northern line

Watching the shine of the shoes

And hearing the trials of the people there

Who's to care if they lose.

And take a look you may see me on the ground

For I am the parasite of this town.

Dancing a jig in a church with chimes

A sign of the times today

And hearing no bell from a steeple tall

People all in dismay

Falling so far on a silver spoon

Making the moon for fun

And changing a rope for a size too small

People all get hung.

Take a look and see me coming through

For I am the parasite who travels two by two.

When lifting the mask from a local clown

And feeling down like him

And I'm seeing the light in a station bar

And travelling far in sin

And I'm sailing downstairs to the northern line

Watching the shine of the shoes

And hearing the trials of the people there

Who's to care if they lose.

And take a look you may see me in the dirt

For I am the parasite who hangs in your skirt.

HARVEST BREED

Falling fast and falling free you look to find a friend

Falling fast and falling free this could just be the end

Falling fast you stoop to touch and kiss the flowers that bend

And you're ready now

For the harvest breed.

FROM THE MORNING

A day once dawned, and it was beautiful

A day once dawned from the ground

Then the night she fell

And the air was beautiful

The night she fell all around.

So look see the days

The endless coloured ways

And go play the game that you learnt

From the morning.

And now we rise

And we are everywhere

And now we rise from the ground

And see she flies

And she is everywhere

See she flies all around

So look see the sights

The endless summer nights

And go play the game that you learnt

From the morning.
