When soldiers spoil your sleep
And writers steal your dreams
Don't strain to hear the screams

When the light goes out
When the light goes out

Pain was all you knew
But I think you're coming through
Like applause inside a zoo

When a lion gets out
When a l

At the end of the day
Ain't nobody else
Gonna walk
In your shoes
Quite the way
You do

So be at peace with yourself
And keep a spring in your heel
And keep climbing that hill
And be at peace
With yourself

In the cold winter chill
When the wind b

Be not so nervous, be not so frail
Someone watches you, you will not fail
Be not so nervous, be not so frail
Be not so nervous, be not so frail

Be not so sorry for what you've done
You must forget them now, it's done
And when you wake up you will find you can run
Be

Light the candle, please don't speak
Open the window, let some air in
I'm on the run from the news on the tv
No lessons learned all over the centuries

Over and over, over and over
Over and over, again

I pour a drink, I need one
I fall asleep and dream
Pretty l

Yonder is the way
Yonder the day
Clouds o'er Cannons Plain
Dawn rain

Are you going home?
You've set off down that road
Yonder is the way
And the day, and the day

Along where trees have fell
And no one is to tell
The legend of Cannons Plain
From whe

I'm a street sweeper
In your city of dreams
Yeah I'm a street sweeper
In your city of dreams

Sweeping off the paper cups
Between the limousines
Street sweeper in your city of dreams

Thousands of windows
I'm scared of what I see
Thousands of windows
I'm

There will come a day
There will come a day
Nations will not prevail
No nation will prevail

The lanes where you used to walk
Covered in leaves
The fields where you used to lay
Now covered in battle dress

But there come a day
There will come a day
Natio

There are miracles
In the strangest of places
There are miracles
Everywhere you go
I see fathers
Hold a little child's hand
I see mothers
Holding a little child's hand
I see trees, trees
Blowing in the wind
I see seeds
Being sown by the wind
It's a

Please don't take the sun from the sky
Don't let them damage my eyes
Please don't let my marigolds die
Though I well know they're not mine

Hey don't let no one get you down
Hey don't let no one get you down

Please don't let the rain blow away
Let it be there 'til

Oh let us go finally
Oh let us go now
Down to the bridge
This evening

And there we'll be quiet
And listen awhile
Ah down by the bridge
This evening

The river runs silently
The river runs deep
As does the time
Between us

She sat smoking a cigarette
The fire on her legs
In the dust filled room she wished
That the cigarette could last forever

But the fire died down and
The cigarette burned out
And the room grew dark and she got up
And went out to see once again
What it was that wa

Listen now, listen now
To the high wind blowing
Through the tree
Listen now, listen now
All in between
They got to fold
To make way
For the little baby shoes
As the wind blows beneath

Hear the, hear the
Heart the wind
Blow through the trees
Where

I'm planting myself in the garden,
Believe me.
Between the potatoes and parsley;
Believe me.
And I'll wait for the rain to anoint me,
And the frost to awaken my soul.
I'm looking for lasting relations
With a greenfly, spider, or maggot.
Believe me.

They're t

Willie was a sailor
He sailed on the sea
And Willie said a sailor's life
Is the life for me
But they sent him into battle
For to lay down his life
And Willie said a sailor's life is not for me

So Willie joined the air force
He learnt how to fly
And Willie sa

Goodnight Stan, mind how go, going home tonight
If you can take a watering can to protect yourself
Soon they say they are taking us away to another place
Up to the stars, was the name Mars? Or was it Jupiter?

Goodnight Stan, mind how you go, going home tonight
If you can ta

I hear you calling from the riverbank
I will be coming when the air is black
All my time is lying on the factory floor
And all my time is lying on the factory floor

Some say messiah coming got to get it right
Some say messiah coming give me back my time
All my time is l

Inside the keeper's pantry
Spied an air hole and got away
Outside a horse was standing
And though the night was dark I rode away

I arrived in time to see the harbour sailing away
No, no, no you never left me

Back in the keeper's pantry
Now I know where I belong am

Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies

What mirth maketh you sailor?
Quietly laughing to yourself
You with your no wind in the rigging
Laughing into the sails

Spying out the humour
Playing with breezes you do not understand
Time will discreetly arrange
That no more shall be seen of you

Oh surely no

Teddy, don't let the shadows get me
And be ready, teddy for when the cupboard explodes
And don't cry teddy for there's someone to turn to
And teddy, let all the other teddies know

The only time i'm not tired is when i'm asleep
Everywhere there are angels but we never meet
