Songs

  • 1 : Waterloo Place Sunset

    • The smoke is clearing and the sun is getting low
      Is this the beginning of the afterglow?
      The sweet girls from the factories are passing you by
      They just want to sing and dance before they cry
      Before they realise

  • 2 : Freefall

    • Something's falling from the sky
      Through the empty space between truth and lies
      Writing in letters ten miles high
      'This is how you're going to live and die'

  • 3 : Song for Carlo

    • There's a picture of you, lying still
      in the middle of the hurricane
      And people gathered round, laying flowers on the ground
      Swearing they'll never be the same
      And the pressure dropped another degree
      And the sky went dark, in the evening heat
      And the hard wind that's coming will carry your name

  • 4 : She's standing right in front of you now

    • She is standing right in front of me
      And nothing looks the same anymore somehow
      She's cold and dazed, her lips are grazed
      Even the feel of her skin has changed

  • 5 : Seattle Calling

    • The government is corrupt
      And the fighting has begun
      And soon the masters of the universe
      Will have nowhere left to run

Freefall

listen to the song in a pop up window

Something's falling from the sky
Through the empty space between truth and lies
Writing in letters ten miles high
'This is how you're going to live and die'

Standing in the shadows, the company ties
Covering their eyes
With stone in their hearts
Dreaming of the prize

If I stand here my spirit will waste away
And right now I wish I could see another way
Tell me the last thing they'd want me to do
And I'll melt into the air and stay all around you

Something's shaking underneath my feet
I'm all alone in a crowded street
Shooting stars raining down on me
Falling like dragon's teeth

The old walls shimmer and the desert burns
I dont think they'll ever learn
Deep down inside I know
This is just my turn

If I stand here my spirit will waste away
And right now I wish I could see another wayv Tell me the last thing they'd want me to dov And I'll melt into the air and stay all around you

The price is rising all the time
On my TV screen it's just a line
Something's spreading black as coal
Putting poison in our souls

The god that I pray to is full of love
But something else is happening up above
I don't know when its going to hit
All I know is that I'm under it

If I stand here my spirit will waste away
And right now I wish I could see another way
Tell me the last thing they'd want me to do
And I'll melt into the air and stay all around you
