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

Song for Carlo

listen to the song in a pop up window

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
