Verse 1
These moments are passing, each one is fleeting,
they seem to just fall from the sky,
Like the three weeks of screaming from the Blackbirds residing in the Sycamore that rests just outside,
Pre-Chorus 1
It was Dawn that unveiled that sickly sight,
Of Little Wings crushed on the floor,
For those three weeks at night, their cries softly died, until Day reveals those Little Wings once more
Chorus 1
I just want 9.35 to pass now
As that’s when the Dawn’s going to lose
I just need 10.45 to swing around somehow
That’s when the quiet falls
And I don’t feel so loose
Verse 2
As recall our Boy Blue,
The same fate came over you,
It echoed through the Valleys and Vales,
My Mother as she found out
She screamed and she howled
Just like those Three weeks of mourning
Pre-Chorus 2
She’s just like those Blackbirds
Singing through that Window pane
Struck in the Light and caught by the Night
Nothing will ever be the same
Chorus 2
I just want 9.35 to pass now
As that’s when the Dawn’s going to lose
I just need 10.45 to swing around somehow
That’s when the quiet starts (grows?)
And I don’t feel so loose
So loose
Outro
Say Blackbird, don’t call too soon,
Blackbird, who you crying to?
And the Seat of Lapwings will carry the body of your Young
That cacophony of sounds is ringing around this empty heart now they’re gone

I have seen, I have been to talk with the one who knows more than me
About those winds, those winds of change that blow with force prevailing over me,
It’ll take more than my wish and Will alone,
To cut down that fear, usurp that throne,
I have seen
CHORUS
I guess you know, you know, you know me well x 2
Now you know me well, singing the words don’t fit the sound
Fire In The Blood
Suits me too well, singing
Fire In The Blood
Suits me too well
And if you seen those siren-like eyes you’d realise the depth of fire within
Then you’d retreat, each battle cry that rung round your throat, but you’ve let them roll right through the street,
He said “just belong to the wind”
He said “never unclasp your hands”
He said “if the earth should crumble in, stand fast right where you sinned, let that world judge you full degree”
CHORUS
Fire fire fire in the blood ...

Happiness is hard work to get,
I am lazy in my own sadness,
Even when tracks are straight and well lit,
I’m gonna’ sit here and dwell on it,
I was a worried child,
I walked a lot of miles for two small feet,
And peace of mind is the biggest trial
It is what is hard to keep
Happiness is hard work to get,
I am lazy in my own sadness,
Even when tracks are straight and well lit,
I’m gonna’ sit down, I’m gonna’ sit here and dwell on it,
Ooooooooo’s

Charis stained lips well they tend to cut like yours do,
When they want something better
Charis stained lips, well they tend to exude sickness,
When they need something better
I want to be fatted
On your Love
I want to be fatted
On your Love
Oh Lightning when you’re around
Makes me feel like I’m stepping down on electrified ground
And you come and you strike me down
Oh Lightning when you’re around
Well you hit me with that sudden violent sound
And you come and you strike me down
In the worst fear, hot vapours start to spark and they ignite,
Like the dust has no weight
I’m caught on the cusp of each striking wave
They’re murderous in their compunction in their ways
I want to be fatted
On your Love
I want to be fatted
On your Love
Oh Lightning when you’re around
Makes me feel like I’m stepping down on electrified ground
And you come and you strike me down
Oh Lightning when you’re around
Well you hit me with that sudden violent sound
And you come and you strike me down
Oh Lightning when you’re around
Factory senses smell your burning cells
Oh lightning when you’re around
Cos’ when you call you compound every feeling and sound
Oh Lightning when you’re around
Ahhhh
Oh Lightning when you’re around
You compound every feeling and sound, you compound every feeling and sound
Oh Lightning when you’re around

CHORUS
Stars fall out the sky
And I, call your name
Rosanna
VERSE
And if I am the rock you depend on
While the wounds are left to fester
Are you also not the rock
I throw myself upon in some romantic gesture?
This is the one we can not tame
The beast it still remains in all this confusion
And I break my heart in two
And throw each piece to you
Will this theatre find a conclusion?
CHORUS
Stars fall out the sky
And I, call your name
Rosanna
Stars fall out the sky
And I, I call your name
BREAK
If you love someone, then let them know
If you love them fast
You’d better love them slow
And let it show
VERSE
The honeyed hair, the lioness’s stare
It all comes so loaded
Who knows the deal?
Who will show the big reveal?
Will the story be unfolded?
My heart has lost it’s home
It just roams and roams, with no direction
And when the mirror hits the sun,
My mind becomes undone
With it’s reflection
CHORUS
Stars fall out the sky
And I, call your name
Rosanna
Stars fall out the sky
And I, call your name
BREAK
If you love someone, then let them know
If you love them fast
You’d better love them slow
And let them know
And them go, let them go

VERSE
Well, I just wish you would leave me a picture,
A sepia portrait of the life force in your eyes
I could drift to the backs of those oceans
That have pulled me in through time and tide
And when I think of that body of water
There’s those oceans of words that sit between us
If we were silent in our exchanges
I know in silence we’d start to drown
CHORUS
And I know, through storm and through weather
There’s a buoyancy in our trust
And if we float like we have no tether
We’ll be grounded by our love
By our love
VERSE
I think we should keep these lines rolling,
They’re brittle in their nature as they fall
And those inflections that you keep on showing
Are showing your defences are like a wall
I keep reaching to the back of my mind
Where there is no sense of doubt at all
CHORUS
And I know, through storm and through weather
There’s a buoyancy in our trust
And if we float like we have no tether
We’ll be grounded by our love
By our love
By our love
Yeah yeah
By our trust
And I know, through storm and through weather
We’ll be floating right on that love
We should just keep these lines rolling rolling
Rolling through the weather
And I know, through storm and through weather
There’s a buoyancy in our trust, yeah
And if we float like we have no tether
We’ll be grounded by our love
By our love
By our love
By our trust
Oh our love is all in each and every one of us

HEAVY (lyrics)
VERSE 1
As you’re approaching I can feel every step
The distances closing and you’re too fired up
Anticipating the best, but it’s the worst
Because you’re Heavy
As you’re talking I don’t feel light
You have your burdens but it don’t make it right
And from that bottom you judge my life
But that’s ok, as that’s who you are
CHORUS
Because you’re heavy
Heavier than stone
Ooo because you’re Heavy
You must have granite for your bones
VERSE 2
I can feel you stepping down
From the heaven and the high earth you’re making sounds
You’re on the back foot honey
Everything’s a’crushing
But you can’t ever let your dreams go
CHORUS 2
Because You’re Heavy
Heavier than stone
Because you’re Heavy
You must have granite for your bones
B
I want to carve my name right into your skin, as you never know when you’re gonna’ Roll X2
C
Ahhh you’re just a strain on reality, you live in phantasmagoria
Most of the time
The time
The time
The time
CHORUS
Because You’re Heavy
Heavier than stone
Because you’re Heavy
You must have granite for your bones x2
