LIMBS

SEE HERE NOW ABOUT OUR BOY SINKING INTO THE CHAIR NOW HE LOOKS DONE

BUT I CAN’T BE PLEASED

MOTHER SAYS, ‘HE’S BREAKING ALL KINDS OF THINGS, HE’S BUILDING ALL KINDS OF LIMBS, HE’S MISSING’

IN THE AIR HE’S WALKING IN, THE LUNACY BEGINS AGAIN

HALLUCINATIONS KICKING IN, PROCRASTINATIONS ARE WEARING THIN

HOW DO I GO ON? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RUN, WHEN THE GUNSHOT FIRES LONG?

ONE LIMB, GIVE HIM TWO LIMBS, GIVE HIM SOMETHING

BUT WRAP YOUR HEART AROUND HIM / ARMS AROUND

THE CALL ARRIVES, THE WASPISH WIFE

SHE HANDS HIM BACK JUST IN TIME

SHE’S BELLYACHING ABOUT THE KNIFE THAT’S HANDED TO THE MAN WHO SHOULD NOT BE CLINGING TO, ANY ONE MOTHER WHO LAYS THE BLAME ON YOU

MAGPIE

SOME SAYS IT’S GREEN, SOME SAYS IT’S BLACK

YOUR MAGPIE HEART TAKES, AND IT NEVER GIVES BACK

HERE ON THE WIND YOU’LL NEVER SING

YOU LOST YOUR VOICE AND ROTTING WINGS

ARRANGE THEM OUT AND SPELL IT ‘MINE’

TRY AND STEAL ANOTHER LINE

TRY AS I MIGHT I FIND

THAT I CAN’T PULL YOU OUT OF THE SKY

TRY AS I MIGHT I SEE

THAT THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES IS GREEN

SAY YOU’RE SILVER SAY YOU’RE GOLD

YOUR MAGPIE HEART DIED BUT IT NEVER GOT OLD

WITH YOUR JEALOUS EYES YOU SHIELD YOUR PRIZE

YOUR MAGPIE HEART BROODS THE TRUTH WITH LIES, WITH LIES

SAY ME A FOOL, SAY ME A JOY

SAME OLD GIRL, SAME OLD BOY

HERE ON THE WIND YOU’LL ALWAYS SING

YOU FOUND YOUR VOICE AND WEDDING RINGS

NOTHINGS RIGHT AND NOTHINGS WRONG

SURROUNDED BY THE SAME OLD SONG

PASS IT ON AND PASS IT ON

PERFECTLY PLANNED

I KNOW THAT THE HEART WAS MADE FOR LONELINESS

THE MAJESTY WAS LAID FOR ME FROM FIELD TO FIELD

SHEETS FOR CLOTHES WITH SEWN-UP HOLES ARE WEARING, TEARING ME

LIVING IN GREEN

STONY COLD IS SETTLING INSIDE

I NEVER NOTICED WHAT IS MISSING FROM THIS LIFE

TENS OF YEARS SINCE, I AM CARING FOR THE TIME

PERFECTLY PLANNED FOR YOU, FIND ME

I CAN’T GIVE IT UP TO YOU

I CAN’T SELL IT OFF

I CAN’T LOSE

I‘M NOT LISTENING TO FOOLS

I WON’T STEAL AWAY

I WON’T MOVE, I WON’T MOVE

EVERYONE’S GUILTY TO ME

YOU ROBBED OUR FACES, CLOSED MY COFFIN AND CLOSED MY BOOK

MY JOB’S MY BUSINESS, GET ME A WITNESS, WHY WON’T YOU LOOK?

WHY WON’T YOU LOOK?

THAT CHOICE DEFINED ME, TREAT ME KINDLY AND HAVE ME FOUND

NOW WHY WON’T YOU LOOK?

A SINNER? A RING? IT’S ALL BEEN A DREAM, NOW FOLLOW MY LEAD

I’M THE TALK OF THE TOWN, THE CAMERAS ARE OUT, NOW I’M ON TV

I’M ON TV

FOLLOW THE PATTERN, LOOKING FOR SATIN, WALKING THE STREET,

WALKING THE STREETS

PUT ME IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND KEEP ME BY YOUR BEDSIDE

LAY MY BABIES DOWN ‘TIL THEY SLEEP

TAKE ME TO THE GOOD LIFE, LEAVE MY BODY OUTSIDE

LAY MY MEMORY DOWN HERE IN PEACE

NOW DON’T YOU GO QUIT, GO LOOK FOR THE SIX

NOW LISTEN TO ME

MY MOTHER KNOWS BEST, BUT MAYBE SHE’S NEXT

THIS TOWN IS DISEASED, YEAH, IT’S UP TO ITS KNEES

THEY’RE PUSHING US DOWN, THEY’RE CROSSING US OUT, WE’RE LOSING BELIEF

A PAINTED CREEK, YOU’LL SEE THE SIGNS SO EASILY

NO SMOKING GUN MEANS EVERYONE IS GUILTY TO ME

THEY’RE GUILTY TO ME, THEY’RE GUILTY TO ME

YOU’RE DRAGGING YOUR HEELS; YOU’RE MAKING ME FEEL AN ICY STREAM AN ICY STREAM

BLOOM

PLACE UPON THE MANTEL AND HOPE TO BE USED

RADIATE FROM CENTER IN HIGH, FULL BLOOM

BLOOM, BLOOM, BLOOM

SHATTER YOURSELF, ALL THINGS BLOOM TRUE

SHATTER YOURSELF IT’S ALL FOR YOU

CHAOS IS CRUEL WHEN DAYLIGHT COMES TO CUT THROUGH

ANY MOMENT YOU SHATTER INTO A THOUSAND PEARLS THAT BLOOM

A THOUSAND PEARLS BLOOM WHEN OLD

BLOOM BLOOM BLOOM

BEAUTY IS BROKEN ITS BELLY IS OPEN TO LIGHT

LYING IN WATER AN MADE OUT OF MORTAR IT HIDES

I BEAR THE FLOWER THAT BRINGS ALL MY BODY TO LIFE

BEAUTY IS BROKEN ITS BELLY IS OPEN TO LIGHT

BEAUTY IS BROKEN

BLOOM WHEN OLD

HELLSTO (THE SWEETNESS CAME FOR US)

I  NEVER ASKED TO BE WORKLESS

WORN YELLOW SKIN IS UNDERPINNED IN THE PAST

THE GOVERNMENT WINS

WON’T BARE MY ARMS, BRING THE SMILE, BRING THE CALM

AND I CANNOT RESIST

TELL US OF THE LADIES SHAMED

HOW MANY LOVERS WILL YOU TAKE?

YOU’RE NOT ‘JUST A SOLDIER’, I’M NO MOTHER

WE DON’T NEED TO TALK

WE NEVER THOUGH IT WAS OVER UNTIL THE SWEETNESS CAME FOR US

YOU DON’T EXIST, YOU CAN’T BE MISSED

I SHOULDN’T BE WAITING

IF I SHOULD DANCE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, YOU’LL BE SO SICK TO RAISE YOUR IRON BELT AND RING THOSE WEDDING BELLS

MEDALS ARE MEANT TO BE WORTH IT

WEARING THE BADGE WILL IT FADE, WILL IT LAST

NOW THE LIVING IS LESS

I TAKE SILVER AT BEST
