In Defence Of Madness

we're out of time
and out of money
what made me think this was
the land of milk and honey
it's time to go
and no more dreaming
walk in the rain under streetlight
pavement gleaming
I'm kind of blue
but I'll be okay
I wasn't looking for a
fairy tale anyway
"hello my name is Happy,
let me sing to you
and maybe we can be friends?"
the peace and laughter
came to such a savage end
but that's alright
that's alright
it's alright
it's not for her
she was taken with
a strong disinclination
she's in your head
you wrote her resume
she's gonna find herself
another occupation
take out a loan
enrol in classes
you're working nights
and now you can't afford
new glasses
"maybe together
we can break it down,
and build something new"
a flash of colour and she's gone
the one you hoped to pursue
you'll never know if all you had to say
was 'I love you'
I love you too
but that's alright
[instrumental]
and when you're done
they say you're pretty
you've got another small
apartment in the city
it's only words
no real story
no eucatastrophe
and no hidden allegory
go for a walk
no destination
stay off the train
there'll be no one at the station
"I'm gonna see you on the other side
I'm counting on you today"
and fearless promises
will only fade away
but that's alright
that's alright

The Last One Left
05:07

|

I don't feel silent any more
I know where I'm supposed to be
crushed my enemies long ago
the last one left to go was me
but you were cold enough to burn
I kept my feelings out of view
you held my head against the flame
and made me give my crown to you
lead of spirit but lucky all the same
sweet taste of empires crumbling in the gloom
napkin men with metal hearts surround us
drawing nearer, bodies fill the room
ah, talking heads parade their faces every day
showing us the way to think and feel
helping us to understand the rich man's point of view
they said it on the news and now it's real

Some Dumb Ideas
05:35
|
|

It's just an ordinary pencil, I can
write it all down when I
come across whatever on my
travels down town, gonna
try to wake up early and I'm
gonna brush my hair then I'm
heading over west and I've no
doubt that you'll be there, let me
put you in my car and we'll
drive real slow and I'll
take you to a movie unless
you don't want to go I've got
two tickets to a
political rally cause I can
feel a change coming and we're
right on the beat oh yeah
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
no no no
I've got some dumb ideas
and my very best clothes, someone
else's horoscope and some
directions on my phone and
whatever doesn't work I'll take and
put it somewhere else because the
only thing I have to fear is
melody itself and when I
put you in my house and we
jive real slow there's a
whole stack of papers sitting
on my gramophone I've got
two tickets to a
political rally I see the
message in the movement building
under my feet oh yeah
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
don't you know
no no no

Handbag

I'm just a girl
I'm just a boy
I'm just a handbag
I'm just a toy
Tell me why
do ya let me fall
am I just a number
that you like to call
I'm just a choirboy
I'm just a knight
I'm just a melody on a keyboard
panned to the right
I was just a pawn
When I took your queen
Really just some blue thing
Tucked in to the back of a magazine
I'm just a mouse
I'm just a weed
I'm just a rainbow
I feel happy but I
don't know what else I need
I'm just a trumpet
That's the way it seems
I'm just a birdhorse
Learning how to play when I'm
living inside a dream
I'm just a girl
I'm just a boy
I'm just a handbag
I'm just a toy
Tell me why
are you onto me
cause I'm just some blue thing
I'm not ready and I
don't know what else I need

Paper Lady
04:00
|
|
||
|
For over thirty years just to keep us living peacefully
They made us all wear the same smile that was never there
Came to one afternoon, discovering my mind was free
That was when she found me, the very first to learn to care
We trust the paper lady and we're giving it hell
But every day there's less of us evading the spell
We heard the paper lady gave you something to do
Guess it means you're gonna be a ladybird too
I need to ask you something, will your answer be true
We don't know what to make of what they said about you
Seems they were hearing something in your voice on the phone
That drew them to the elements for reasons unknown
We're hoping you're remembering it's your job alone
To stop the senators of starlight taking you as their own
We'd tried so many times to get our hooves on the elements,
Six unholy gems born of the alicorns of yesteryear
No one but the paper lady knew where the senators
Were keeping them, she got us in, we took them and we brought them here
Another falls to the senators' peace
The whispers in my head are never going to cease
Sitting looking up at the stars every night
Now I don't quite remember why I wanted to fight
We heard the paper lady gave you something to do
Guess it means you're gonna be a ladybird too
I need to ask you something, will your answer be true
We don't know what to make of what they said about you
Seems they were hearing something in your voice on the phone
That drew them to the elements for reasons unknown
We're hoping you're remembering it's your job alone
To stop the senators of starlight taking you as their own
I volunteered myself to take the elements home
Turned in the paper lady, did it all on my own
Now I know for sure that things are how they should be,
I can surely say the senators of starlight are we

Sky Blues
06:10
|
|
||
|
the night falls hard on sunken dreams
the sorry splendor rots and gleams
patrons bark and angels jeer
the band plays loud and they don't hear
all they love is black and white
don't see the color of the light
lost their spirit and bled their souls
with crimson shovels digging holes
oh you know I don't really wanna live in this strange world
I need somebody beside me to live in this strange land
I need somebody to hide me away from these cruel times
don't tell me to hold out for a miracle
I've been here for so long
somebody just come and take me where the skies are blue
when you just want to fly away it's the sky blues
men and horses line the street
corrupted lives left incomplete
afraid of shadows on the wall
cast by the fingers of the tall
suits of power, white and black
bring velvet ruin on their backs
and through the laughter and the moans
it’s just the thieves that feel at home
oh you know I don't really wanna live in this strange world
I need somebody beside me to live in this strange land
I need somebody to hide me away from these cruel times
don't tell me to hold out for a miracle
I've been here for so long
somebody just come and take me where the skies are blue
when you just want to fly away it's the sky blues
I need to get higher
high above and far away
keep the clouds so dark and grey
below me
I need to get farther
and find a place to start again
to laugh at jokes and play pretend
I wonder where you are
I'm empty
and floating like I'm deep in space
away from every kind of place
come find me
but sadly
the feeling ends, I'm falling now
I'm fading back into the crowd
I've only come so far
the band is tired, their throats are dry
but still they play, I wonder why
they see those shadows on the wall
the cracks run deep as pieces fall
can we divine a better end
and be a better kind of friend
if not I doubt we shall survive
I just want the truth to come alive
and I sure don’t really wanna live in this strange world
I need somebody beside me to live in this strange land
I need somebody to hide me away from these cruel times
don't tell me to hold out for a miracle
I've been here for so long
somebody just come and take me where the skies are blue
when you just want to fly away it's the sky blues

Never Die
05:58

There's someone that we knew
Before we all grew older
And never far from you
She's resting on your shoulder
She taught us how to fly
And to paint the world in colour
And to look them in the eye
And be good to one another
If ever you're in need of help
Look up into the sky
The magic travels on and on
And light will never die
You don't need her to save you now
As you remember why
The elements of shadow pass you by
She doesn't want to go
Though times are ever changing
But she will have you know
Her colours are not fading
And she always will be there
Look up into the sky
And if ever you're in need of help
The light will never die
CHORUS
(The light)
Don't lose your light
The moon is bright
May it light up your night
And make you feel alright
Don't lose the light
Don't be afraid to just be you
And don't believe the lies
And do the things you do
Don't lose the light
(on and on and on..)
There's someone that we knew
Before we all grew older
And never far from you
She's resting on your shoulder
And she always will be there
Look up into the sky
And if ever you're in need of help
The light will never die
CHORUS
Look up into the sky
The light can never die

Everything Is Done

everything is one, look at me
all those days are gone, hopefully
fade into the blue, seems to be
everything is fine, don't you see
always there in time, eventually
even something new, luckily
do it all over again
even taller and faster
and wider till
everything is done
(oh how you'll go on)
hope that you have fun
and smile when you
think of me running
on the seashore
and sleeping in the sun
until everything is done
every day is new, watch for me
so much more to do, seems to be
glowing all around, hopefully
everything is fine, suitably
waking up in time, don't you see
all the stuff I found, wants you to
live it all over again
even taller and faster
and wider till
everything is pure
(like never before)
and maybe find the cure
I think that those
gentle waves that I feel around me
are rolling up the shore
and it's just a moment more

bring it up, bring it up as you do
takin your time to wake up
work out a time to make up
is nothing dragging on you
you were in school for real
didn't you know the deal
don't you lose your head
lyin in your bed
thinkin pony is dead
don't you lose your smile
let the code compile
make it worth your while
giddy up racehorse number five
wing by those sunset skies for ever
you better do something clever
'bout dreamin' on
oh, old faded blue you've got to get it together
cause you can see yourself and you're so badly drawn
don't be in your head
bake a cake instead
be a quadruped
break into your song
do the whole thing wrong
be a place to belong
some trace still lingers in the air
and speaking softly you can hear
the wonder in your lonely voice
you are presented with a choice
a dash of colour in your eye
flash of magenta in the sky
tells you as words fall off your pen
your time will come along again
reality is coming all undone
but maybe you can save someone
if you learn how to have some fun
in your own world and raise the sun
so pegasus, keep singing that old song
a splash of colour and it's gone
but not for you and not for long
don't you lose your head
lyin in your bed
thinkin pony is dead
break into your song
do the whole thing wrong
be a place to belong
you know it's gone
but not for long
so long
as you remember the magic
there’s something that never ends
there’s life
it doesn’t have to be perfect
as long as you have your friends
and take good care of you
as you go on your adventures
and don’t be afraid to smile
your time will come along again
come along again
