Walking 'round the room singing
Stormy Weather at 57 Mt. Pleasant St. Now it's the same room but everything's different You can fight the sleep but not the dream Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen Strange affliction wash over me Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire Couldn't conquer the blue sky There's a small boat made of china Going nowhere on the mantlepiece Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard Or do I sing like a bird released Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you |

Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain Expert in bed but come on now There must be something missing That golden one leads a double life You'll find out But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live So here we lie against each other These four walls can never hold us We're looking for wide open spaces High above the kitchen And we're strangers here On our way to some other place But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live The world where you live When friends come round You might remember and be sad Behind their eyes is unfamiliar Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live ... |

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Go, I'll be waiting when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall |

I've been locked out
I've been locked in but I always seem to come back again when you're in that room what do you do? I know that I will have you in the end And the clouds they're crying on you and the birds are offering up their tunes in a shack as remote as a mansion you escape into a place where nothing moves And I've been locked out and I know we're through but I can't begin to face up to the truth I wait so long for the walls to crack but I know that I will one day have you back And the hills are as soft as a pillow and they cast a shadow on my bed and the view when I look through my window is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead Twin valleys shine in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one Yet I've been locked out and I know we're through but I can't begin to face up to the truth I wait so long for the walls to crack but I know that I will one day have you back (yes, I will) And I work like bees in the honey every night I circle like the moon it's an act of simple devotion but it can take forever when you've got something to prove |

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in They come, they come to build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in They come, they come to build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in They come, they come to build a wall between us We know they won't win don't let them win (hey now hey now) hey now hey now hey now hey now don't let them win (hey now hey now) don't let them win (hey now hey now) |

you opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck you in your new blue dress taking away my breath the cradle is soft and warm couldn't do me no harm you're showing me how to give into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into temptation a muddle of nervous words could never amount to betrayal the sentence is all my own the price is to watch it fail as I turn to go you looked at me for half a second with an open invitation for me to go into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into temptation safe in the wide open arms of hell we can go sailing in climb down, lose yourself when you linger long into temptation right where you belong the guilty get no sleep in the last slow hours of morning experience is cheap I should've listened to the warning but the cradle is soft and warm into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into your wide open arms no way to break the spell don't tell |

Pineapple Head
Detective is flat no longer is always flat out got the number of the getaway car didn't get very far As lucid as hell these images moving so fast like a fever so close to the bone I don't feel too well And if you choose to take that path I will play you like a shark and I'll clutch at your heart I'll come flying like a spark to enflame you Sleeping alone for pleasure, the pineapple head it spins and it spins like a number I hold don't remember if she was my friend it was a long time ago And if you choose to take that path Sleeping alone for pleasure, the pineapple head it spins and it spins like a number I hold don't remember if she was my friend it was a long time ago And if you choose to take that path would you come to make me pay? |

When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon guiding you to safety The sooner the better now And when you come the hills Will breathe like a baby Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean The sooner the better now When you come to cover me with your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like rain of blood to my emotions Chorus: And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know I could never let you down When you come like an iceberg float in darkness Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea I should know you better now When you come your majesty to entrap me Prince of light receding The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses hard like armour The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions (chorus) She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from a distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come Cover the ground with ashes When you come |

No time, no place to talk about the weather
the promise of love is hard to ignore who said the chance wasn't getting any better the labor of love is ours to endure the highest branch on the apple tree it was my favorite place to be I could hear them breaking free but they could not see me I will run for shelter endless summer lift the curse it feels like nothing matters in our private universe I have all I want, is that simple enough? a whole lot more I'm thinking of every night about six o'clock birds come back to the pond to talk they talk to me -- birds to talk to me if I go down on my knees it feels like nothing matters in our private universe And it's a pleasure that I have known and it's a treasure that I have gained and it's a pleasure that I have known It's a tight squeeze, but I won't let go time is on the table and the dinner's cold |

Instinct
I lit the match I lit the match I saw another monster turn to ash felt the burden lifted from my back do you recognize another's twitch that exposes the weakness of the myth when your turn comes 'round and the light goes on and you feel your attraction again your instinct can't be wrong separate the fiction from the fact appear a little slow to react but it's nearly time to flip the switch and i'm hanging by a single stitch laughing at the stormy face of gloom when your turn comes 'round and the light goes on and you feel your attraction again your instinct can't be wrong feelings come and go where the true present lies are calling down.. calling down.. laughing at the stormy face of gloom when your turn comes 'round and the days get long and you feel your attraction to him your instinct can't be wrong calling down.. |

She said I could never do that
But I know you can, you are in my dream We are one person, not two of a kind And what was mine is now in your possession I could feel you underneath my skin As the wind rushed in, sent the kitchen table crashing She said, nobody move, or I'll bring the house down I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange, God only knows I feel possessed when you come round It was one of those times wished I had a camera on me Six foot off the ground Well, I know how that sounds Look above you and beyond me too That kind of view don't need an explanation I'm not lying, not asking for anything I just want to be there when it happens again I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange God only knows I feel possessed when you come round Whenever you invade my home Everything I know flies out the window It's above you and beyond me too I don't want an explanation But I'll be there when you bring the house down I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange God only knows I feel possessed when you come round People are strange I feel possessed when you come round |

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination Worlds above and worlds below The sun shines on the black clouds Hanging over the domain Even when you're feeling warm The temperature could drop away Like four seasons in one day Smiling as the shit comes down You can tell a man from what he has to say Everything gets turned around And I will risk my neck again You can take me where you will Up the creek and through the mill Like all the things you can't explain Four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day It doesn't pay to make predictions Sleeping on an unmade bed Finding out wherever there is comfort There is pain Only one step away Like four seasons in one day |

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil It's bigger than us You don't have to worry about it Ready or not here comes the drop You feel lucky when you know where you are It's gonna come true Here in your arms I remember It's only natural that I should want to Be there with you It's only natural that you should feel the same way too It's easy when you don't try Going on first impressions Man in a cage has made his confession You've seen me at my worst And it won't be the last time I'm down there I want you to know I feel completely at ease Read me like a book That's fallen down between your knees Please let me have my way with you It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky And we don't even have to try Shaking like mud, buildings of glass Sink into the bay they'll be under the rocks again You don't have to say I know you're afraid It's circumstantial, it's something I was born to It's only natural, can't help it if I want to |

I thought it was about time something newer than Woodface was
put into the archive. The first single from the new "probably-better-than-Woodface-after-all" album : Tell me all the things you would change I don't pretend to know what you want When you come around and spin my top Time and again, time and again No fire where I lit my spark I am not afraid of the dark When your words devour my heart And put me to shame, put me to shame [Chorus: When your seven worlds collide Whenever I am by your side And dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone] You're still so young to travel so far Old enough to know who you are Wise enough to carry the scars Without any blame, there's no-one to blame It's easy to forget what you learnt Waiting for the thrill to return Feeling your desire burn And drawn to the flame [Chorus] Dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above I don't pretend to know what you want But I offer love... Seven worlds will collide Whenever I am by your side Dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone As time slips by And your mind And your mind As time slips by |

Love can make you weep, it can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep, bring life to frozen ground (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today Turning in my sleep, love can leave you cold The taste of jealousy, is like a lust for gold (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today (I've been) feeling so much older (Frame me) and hang me on the wall (I've seen) you fall into the same trap (This thing) is happening to us all (Bridge) (Something so strong) could carry us away (Something so strong) could carry us today (Something so strong) (Something so strong) (Something so strong) Something something so strong |

She came all the way from America
Had a blind date with destiny And the sound of Te Awamutu Had a truly sacred ring Now her parents are divorced And her friend's committing suicide I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me So I talked to you for an hour In the bar of a small town hotel You asked me what I was thinking I was thinking of a padded cell With a black and white T.V. To stop us from getting lonely I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me No, I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door You know what it means to me I saw you lying in the arms of a poet I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me) Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know I could not escape You're down on the floor You know what it means to me I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door Mean ... You know what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means |

Somewhere deep inside something's got a hold on you
And it's pushin' me aside So you'd stretch on forever. Chorus: And I know I'm right For the first time in my life. That's why I'll tell you You better be home soon. Strippin' back the cause of lies and deception, Back to nothingness Like a week in the desert. Chorus Don't say no. Don't say nothin' wrong. When you get back home, Maybe I'll be gone. Go-o-one.. It would cause me pain if we were to end it But I could start again. You can depend on it. Chorus That's why I'll tell you. You better be home soon. |

I see a man with a flag
and he leads the procession and a woman shedding tears for a man locked in prison then the two locked eyes and for a moment I was taken and all paths lead to a single conclusion Everything is good for you if it doesn't kill you everything is good for you one man's ending is another man's beginning everything is good for you It's a nightmare talking to a restless ocean with a reckless calm to state their position but if you come undone it might just set you free Everything is good for you if it doesn't kill you everything is good for you one man's ending is another man's beginning bring back your head here comes trouble to turn me and be well cover your heart everything is good for you if it doesn't kill you |
