Waterfall 04:48
When faces surround you and seem to see through you Show everything, show everything Just try to forget them they’ll go if you let them Don’t know anything, don’t know anything Just blow through the static it’s all automatic You’re thinking too much, you’re thinking too much And don’t concentrate let the force of it claim you Are you feeling enough, are you feeling enough? As Sarasvati plays, the smoke lifts from the haze I listen for her call from down the waterfall Her silver melodies are rising on the steam I listen to her call from down the waterfall Jab lowg tumhare pas ho nazarshanass Dekane do unhey, dekane do unhey Bus bhool jao ke koi dekhta hai Jesay tumhaien kuch yad nahinhai Bus sab phook do har ek ruut key silsiley ko Aur ziada mat socho, aur ziada mat socho Ab ghor mat khar must ho iis jharney ki dhara mein bekhar Aur mat soch ehsaas kar, aur mat soch ehsaas kar As Sarasvati plays, the smoke lifts from the haze I listen for her call from down the waterfall Her silver melodies are rising on the steam I listen to her call from down the waterfall

Afterglow 03:56
In the morning the unforgiving sunlight tears the night apart Then in the evening, a day of living later, you’re bruised and battlescarred When the truth hits you, she softens the blow And you still fall down like you always did, but she never lets you hit the floor... The world melts down into my pillow I’m wading into the Afterglow The seed that I’ve sown, now it has grown and it curls its vines around me The flowers bloom, their thick perfume intoxifies me But she breathes new oxygen And the mouth to mouth sends us flying south to where the weather’s warm for sure The world melts down into my pillow I’m wading into the Afterglow

Temporary 04:22
She’s panic buying, walking down the aisle that she feels identified in It’s number seven, where the colour smears into photographs of heaven Don’t raise your voice if you’re talking to me We’re only Temporary She plays the numbers, seconds hiss away until a day is just a flicker Her goddess slumbers, waiting in her dream until the memory is quicker Don’t raise your hands it’s easy can’t you see We’re only temporary

Gloria 05:24
I remember that kiss, It was a moment of pure bliss My stomach went tight, My head set alight, And I thought “hey what’s this?” I remember your arms, And a few other bodyparts, And I knew I’d make sure, That nothing of yours, Would go unexplored And I sang... “I don’t need no food, Just give me Gloria And I don’t need no music, When I’m with her” I remember your dad, Cos he had a skinhead And he had a tattoo, That the years had turned blue, It said “don’t fuck with me” I remember your house, In the yard was a kitchen sink And your mum would make tea, And Benson’s for three, And tip me the wink And I sang... “I don’t need no food, Just give me Gloria And I don’t need no music, When I’m with her” I remember your kiss punch, Cos you nearly brought back my lunch But the most painful part, Was I knew that you’d hate me for evermore But I think of you still, In fact you’re actually in my will I leave you my car, It’s been pretty far, And it doesn’t like hills And I sing... “I don’t need no food, Just give me Gloria And I don’t need no music, When I’m with her”

Loveproof 05:43
They live in a lighthouse Where they keep each other safe and warm And wait the night out Til the morning crashes on the shore She finds the deepest grooves that cannot be resisted But you can’t force a man to listen Loveproof He says he loves her And he knows he’ll mean it some day soon The stars above her couldn’t make her feel any smaller So she will write a song where they can live together She’ll weave a tangled tune to bind forever Loveproof You can’t lead him

Surrender 04:07
Blind, blind, I’m throwing punches in the dark Blind, blind, I’m throwing punches in the dark You launch a heart attack, And my defense is blown apart You found the secret I can’t keep You found my weakness underneath I surrender Run, run, a rivers running out your mouth, Run, run, a river runs right out your mouth, You love to push me in, Just so that you can fish me out You found the secret I can’t keep You found my weakness underneath I surrender Please, please, there must be something I can say Please, please, there must be something I can say You sting me tenderly, Then take the antidote away

Rescue Song 03:26
From a sinking ship From an evil scientist From a shaking lip I will save you From a burning car From a dream that haunts you From another’s charm I will save you From a love grown cold From the endless road you’re on From ever growing old I will save you I will rescue you Or I’ll do my best to

It’s high noon at the Last Chance Saloon Second home to racketeers Where magic man sells his masterplan He’s a global pioneer He says “Villains roam towards our homes And they’ll burn away the clouds, But my new invention, my weather engine Is already eastward bound” Terraform the desert into paradise With our weather machine We’ll perform the necessary sacrifice With our weather machine So the giant device spewing liquid ice Is flown to foreign lands Where the locals curse their forever thirst And the neverending sands But the rain falls hot with a kilowatt Of the magic man’s bloodlust And funny little rivers form Black ribbons in the dust Terraform the desert into paradise With our weather machine We’ll perform the necessary sacrifice With our weather machine Spinning words at the hungry herds He’s twisting a new truth It’s the magic man and his faithful gang Dreaming of eternal youth He says “Villains roam towards our homes And they’ll burn away the clouds But worry not cos I wrote the plot And I know how it turns out”

Wake Up! 03:57
11.
On a train, the landscape is a rush-a grey, And tears are streaming down the window pain, I contemplate nothing Old man sits down and faces me, He’s got a smile, I think it’s aimed at me, He says “I know your problem,” “If music’s for dancing, And magic’s for the spellbound, And love is for lovers, What’s left for you?” I ask “What the hell’s that supposed to mean?” He says “Listen man, you’re the door now here’s the key, Just open up and you’re free,” “You wonder why you never understand, And everybody seems to have their masterplans, But you don’t know nothing” “If music’s for dancing, And magic’s for the spellbound, And love is for lovers, What’s left for you?” But his words they seemed like mockery, And nobody’s allowed to teach me, nobody can teach me nothing.
