Fatal Shore -We Had an Island

**Spellbound** Sun 14 Sep - 0:00

Remember we had an island
Warm wild and blue
An uncharted island
Nobody knew

The sand was a worn away carpet
And the palms of paper and glue
But the shadows of my doubts
Were cast by a love true yes it’s true

But the seas that surrounded us
Betrayed a treacherous reality
But in your arms each night
The sun would rise and that’s all I could see

But the waters were arising
And a letter came from a man of the sea
To the waves of encroaching waters you made love to me
And as I slept you simply sailed away

On a ship built for two
It’s masts made of my bones
It’s sails the skin of my body
And the hull of my soul

Remember we had an island
From its shores I watch the ships go by
On the ocean of your naked body
Laying by his side

Remember we had an island
Warm wild and blue
We had an island
Do you remember it too?
Do you remember it too?

I sat within the valley green
I sat me with my true love.
My sad heart strove the two between
The old love and the new love.
The old for her the new
That made me think on Ireland dearly.
While soft the wind blew down the glade
and shook the golden barley.
T'was hard the woeful words to frame
To break the ties that bound us.
But harder still to bear the shame
of foreign chains around us.
And so I said the mountain glen
I'll meet at morning early.
And I'll join the bold united men
While soft winds shook the barley.
T'was sad I kissed away her tears
My fond arm round her flinging.
When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears
>From out the wild woods ringing.
A bullet pierced my true love's side
In live's young spring so early.
And on my breast in blood she died
While soft winds shook the barley.
But blood for blood without remorse
I've ta'en at oulart hollow.
I've lain my true love's clay like corpse
Where I full soon must follow.
Around her grave I've wandered drear
Noon, night, and morning early.
With breaking heart when e'er I hear
The wind that shakes the barley.

Doves circuit the sky.
In the room where I woke
I heard them fly
Like a rush of blood
Into the endless blue,
Out into the blue.
Reflected light
Trembles on the wall
Where Hannah lies.

I thought of you
And all the things I'd say
All the things I'd say to you.
Out into the blue...
All the things I'd say,
All the things I'd say to you.

She thought of time...
Saw herself by the lake.
The house behind
Ringing with a tune
Of glass and chandeliers...
Her loneliness grew.
The evening brushed
Through her auburn hair
And closed her eyes.

I thought of you
And all the things I'd say
All the things I'd say to you.
Out into the blue...
All the things I'd say,
All the things I'd say to you

Εχει κατι το γκαραζιαρικο που με τρελαινει:

**Spellbound** Thu 25 Dec - 1:18

The generals hate holidays
Others shoot up to chase the sun blues away
Another store front church is open
Sea of neon lights, a boxer his shadow fights
Soldier tired and sailor broken
Winter's asleep at my window
Cold wind waits at my door
She asks me up to her place
But I won't be down anymore

Judges with metermaid hearts
Order super market justice starts
Frozen children inner city
Walkers in the paper rain
Waiting for those knights that never came
The hi-jacked trying so hard to be pretty

Night rains tap at my window
Winds of my thoughts passing by

She laughed when I tried to tell her
Hello only ends in goodbye

America gains another pound
Only time will bring some people around
Idols and flags are slowly melting
Another shower of rice
To pair it for some will suffice
The mouthful asks for second helpings

Moonshine pours through my window
The night puts it's laughter away
Clouds that pierce the illusion
That tomorrow would be as yesterday...

Please Mr. Minister, a word with you
Only take a minute, sir, so don't you screw

You no fight 'gainst the rum head
You no fight 'gainst the wine head
You no fight 'gainst the cigarette smoking

Yet you know, yet you know
These things give cancer
Yet you know, yet you know
These things give cancer

Rastaman know the truth
So you can't fool the youth
Rastaman know the truth
So you can't fool the youth

What was hidden from the wise and prudent
Shall reveal to the babe and suckling
What was hidden from the wise and prudent
Shall reveal to the babe and suckling

Tell me why do you fight against the collie man?
Tell me why do you fight against the collie man?

Yet you know, yet you know
It's the healing of the nation
Yet you know, yet you know
It's the healing of the nation

Tell me why do you fight against the collie man?
Tell me why do you fight against the collie man?

Yet you know, yet you know
It's the healing of the nation
Yet you know, yet you know
It's the healing of the nation, you know

Too much partialism inna dis business y'all
God knows all of these things give cancer
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]

Liar man, doctor man, Indian chief
Babylon Kingdom know the truth
Liar man, doctor man, Indian chief

Yet them know, yet them know
It's the healing of the nation
Yet them know, yet them know
They know it's the truth

Tell me why do you fight against the collie man
Tell me why do you fight against the collie man

Yet you know, yet you know
It's the healing of the nation
Yet them know, yet them know
It's the curing of cancer, asthma, razman

Rastaman know the truth
So you can't fool the youth
Natty dreadlocks know it's the truth
So you can't fool the youth

Yet them know, yet them know
It's the healing of the nation
Yet them know, yet them know
These things give asthma, razma, chrasma

Natty dreadlocks know, natty dreadlocks know
Natty dreadlocks know, natty dreadlocks know
Knowing the truth, the truth that collie will cure cancer, yeah
Natty dreadlocks, natty dreadlocks knowing the truth
Babylon too much partialism

You're the night, Lilah, a little girl lost in the woods
You're a folk tale, the unexplainable

You're a bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can make it on my own
I can make it on my own

It's too dark to see the landmarks, I don't want your good luck charms
I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars

You're the night, Lilah, you're everything that we can see
Lilah, you're the possibility

You're the bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can make it on my own
I can make it on my own

Unknown the unlit world of old, you're the sounds I never heard before
Off the map where the wild things grow, another world outside my door

Here I stand I'm all alone, drive me down the pitch black road
Lilah, you're my only home and I can't make it on my own

You're the bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can make it on my own
I can make it on my own

You're the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams
At the end of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball
The battle of the earth of the angels, the shifting snow drifts so realistic
So realistic, call you carpet of stars, see there is something in the yard
It's awful dark with the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm
The prayer, the extra layer, the group [Incomprehensible]

This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

On the floating, shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your isle.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken lovelorn on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."
