Lyrics
Slow Cloud
I am a cloud,
Ariel, slow, vast, calm blast,
On a silent wave
I am the cumulus report.
I am a slug,
Sluggish and soft sound,
First drowned,
By the rain.
And I leave my mark,
On your window pane.
Oh but your cruel,
Cruel,
But your cruel,
Cruel.
And I am the last,
I am the last dart,
Fast, sharp and cruel.
I am the racing, pointed word,
And if you call,
I will be first, best, past all too,
Who else would utter delight,
In all that you do?
Oh but your cruel,
Cruel,
But your cruel,
Cruel.
Holes In Your Coffin
And the name that you have will enslave you,
And the girl that you had, she won't save you.
Holes in your coffin, fool.
And your kindest remarks, do not move me,
Both your face and your heart, do not suit me,
Holes in your coffin.
Oh nothing less will do, do, do, do.
Oh nothing less will do, do, do, do.
And the words on your grave are to show for,
The way you have behaved,
And I know for, holes in your coffin prove,
What you get for being just too playful,
What you get for being so distateful,
Holes in your coffin.
Oh nothing less will do, do, do, do.
Oh nothing less will do, do, do, do.
And when all's said and done,
I'll dismiss you,
For when I have moved on,
I won't miss you,
Or the holes in your coffin.
Disappearance of the Girl
I don't where I've been,
And it's been such a long time,
Since I really saw the difference between you and I,
And I don't know where I stand,
Faced with a cruel world,
I'd say everything points to,
The disappearance of the girl.
Oooh, yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
If I, if I could persuade you,
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
You know, you know he betrays you,
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
As much, much as he saves you.
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
And I need you to see,
There's not much innocence,
In the imposed darkness,
Of imposed silence,
I need you to see,
The good in everything,
Oh the only thing that saves you,
Is your economy of blessings.
Oooh, yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
If I, if I could persuade you,
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
You know, you know he betrays you,
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
As much, much as he saves you.
Oooh, yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
And you're still waiting,
For the real thing,
To save you.
But it isn't there,
You know, that he doesn't even care,
About you.
Oooh, yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
If I, if I could persuade you,
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
You know, you know he betrays you,
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
As much, much as he saves you.
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
Great Machine
Shape me for a faster world,
Place me with a stronger girl,
Oh, oh, of course
Oh, oh, of course
Change me, if you'll make me right,
My face, my only device,
Oh, oh, of course,
Oh, oh, of course,
Help me realise my dream,
Build me into a great machine,
Oh, oh, of course,
Oh, oh, of course.
And teach me between joy and chore,
Until I don't know which means more,
Oh, oh, of course,
Oh, oh, of course.
Then add me to your contact list,
Keep me at your fingertips,
Oh, oh, of course,
And if I make the grade,
Can I, can I be your slave?
Oh, oh, of course,
Where do the others go, when they go?
Where do you start to dig if the whole world's under snow?
Help me realise my dream,
Build me into a great machine,
Oh, oh, of course,
Oh, oh of course.
Help me realise my dream,
Build me into a great machine,
Oh, oh of coursem
Oh, oh of course.
Where do the others go, when they go?
Where do you start to dig if the whole world's under snow?
Switch-blade
Oh your absence resounds like a siren,
But my presence brings no more than silence,
And at times I behave like a switch-blade,
And it don't take much for me to cut the wrong ways.
And where do you go?
When my darker flip-side shows,
If I lead you straight up to,
The loneliest landscape you knew,
Boy would you care, if you lost me there.
I was blessed with your good intentions,
And your kindness gets no reflection,
So your screaming am I still listening?
As you waste your words, I'm missing.
And where do you go?
When my darker flip-side shows,
If I lead you straight up to,
The loneliest landscape you knew,
Boy would you care, if you lost me there.
(Instrumental)
And where do you go?
When my darker flip-side shows,
If I lead you straight up to,
The loneliest landscape you knew,
Boy would you care, if you lost me there.
Distance
I have no fear,
Of the distance,
Look ahead you mark my footprints there,
I know around every corner I'm catching the storm, sir yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I have no fear of committment,
Nor of your resentment now,
I know around every corner I'm catching the storm, sir yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'll see me, from your dust heap,
You'll see me, from that old street,
But I'll be catching sir,
Forgetting your born sir,
So, get up then,
I'm leaving, don't tell me,
Your reasons.
Cos older, and wiser,
I know most, your lies sir, sir, sir.
And outside it is much greener,
And my currency is seen for gold,
I know around every corner I will be bold, bold, bold,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Does it make your heart feel lighter,
Now that I can see my sky sir? Yeah,
I know around every corner, I'll be catching the storm sir,
Yeah, yeah, oh...
You'll see me, from your dust heap,
You'll see me, from that old street,
But I'll be catching sir,
Forgetting your born sir,
So, get up then,
I'm leaving, don't tell me,
Your reasons.
Cos older, and wiser,
I know most, your lies sir, sir, sir.
So, get up then,
I'm leaving, don't tell me,
Your reasons.
Cos older, and wiser,
I know most, your lies sir, sir, sir.
Piano B
You my dear, like a feather in the breeze,
Are bound to sail, past amazing things,
You my dear, are the reason I am home,
Take my thoughts with you,
When you leave alone.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, ooooh.
Truth my dear, is a dirty cotton bud,
Where the dust has been,
What the fall has seen,
Youth my dear, us not nearly enough,
Drawings of my courts,
Sweets and liquorish hearts.
Oooh, ooooh, ooooh, oooh.
