Jack of Fools
04:48
|
|||
Four, four in the morning
Coughing, yawning
Day, daylight is boring
Close my eyes ignoring
One day at a time
On paper I’m fine
Put my heart to the test
Oh lord I’m a mess
A jack of fools such as I
Fly, fly away sorrow
Hide yourself til tomorrow
Poets preachers and scholars
Read me my tarot
One day at a time
On paper I’m fine
Put my heart to the test
Oh lord I’m a mess
A jack of fools such as I
Pull my heart from my chest
One of life’s little tests
A jack of fools such as I

To Be Blinkered
03:04
|

The clock it knocks to a sudden stop and I hear distant laughter
Another day in paradise the sun is hot let’s wait for some disaster
Would you believe
That the birds and the bees could the vanish In the air
But I don’t care
Delicately mumbling and stuttering or answer
I’m sorry I intruded was I ever made to feel that welcome
Would you believe
That the birds and the bees could the vanish In the air
But I don’t care

Tombre En Morceaux
03:51
|
|||
Thought that growing old was so easy
Now it’s hard to stand when you’ve fallen down
Always getting in the way
Never knowing what to say
At parties
Being unaware that your clothes won’t fit
Headaches in the morning from a glass of wine
Do you know who you are, your not quite the star...you dreamed of
Telling old stories and reminiscing
Digging up ghost and tales from your wardrobe
Your a angrier man, you don’t understand
The niceties
“Tombre En Morceaux”

Imminent Shadow
04:02
|
|||
Night time come
And I see you standing there
In the corner of my room
Head bowed down and aloof
Poisoning my every breath
Pushing down on my chest
My imminent shadow
Grandfather couldn’t run from you
Age let his guard down slow
Mind as sharp as a knife
turns to Cotten when you show
You wait in silence when I was young
When I was innocent and free
My imminent shadow

The Dusty Floor
03:34
|
|||
Please tell me that you need me right now
Don’t make me wait..the suffering
Like those clothes that just stay in my case
The dusty floor an empty room
Days pass so slowly
The night gets so much more lonely
Some may say that love isn’t real
That’s hard to hear, that can’t be true
Cause I’m those movies, there’s plenty of tears
Those sad old songs , and poems too
Days pass so slowly
The night gets so much more lonely

My Protector
05:40
|
|||
I cannot leave you all alone
We’re so alike but your still full of wonder
All we’re after is a happy home
To return to home
I’ll give you everything and anything I’ll be your protector
No more arguments let’s just keep on walking
All we’re after is a happy home
To return to home
To hear your feet tip tapping across the room
Make no mistake we’ll stick together like glue
All we’re after is a happy home
To return to home

The Tree
02:58
|

I had a tree
In the dream hills where my childhood lay
And I'd go there in the wide long days
And my tree would listen to all that I'd say
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
Then one day when the world had put me in its tomb
And my life was just an empty room
I went to my tree and I sat there in my gloom
And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying
Then my tree bent its branches low down to the ground
And its green leaves shrouded up my mind
And I left the world somewhere behind
And I didn't not know what I would find
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
