Lyrics
A.C.Marias
One of Our Girls Has Gone Missing
Trilby's Couch
Between two chairs
On Trilby's couch
A volunteer lies in a trance
He rises up up up
And floats in the air
Some hold their breath and others stare
He goes up up up
And hangs in the air
Some give a sign
He takes a bow
Just Talk
It was all talk
Yankee doodle dandy man
Sell me my words
All the time I didn't mean it
Just a tick tock
Who shall spell it out?
Johnnie says Frankie pays
They were lovers
But the gun wasn't loaded
Just a tick tock
God is that the time
Its heart throbs heart jobs
Inca Gods
Your leave has been cancelled
The shark has no teeth, dear
Just a tick tock
You've just run out of time
There's a Scent of Rain in the Air
Held eyes and that hand
The pressed lips still
Stillness in secret spoken
A bowed head and in the dark
The dead kissed secret taken
Now warm and that tongue
Slow smiles seem cold
And mouths in silence shudder
That spells touch and in the dark
Secret kiss secret taken
The pain that pleased
Chilled into clay
That charm so lightly spoken
The touch that traced
It's sweet dumb song
It's grave the promise broken
Our Dust
There's a carpet on the floor
A padlock on the door
There's a cushion on a chair
I don't care
There's a book on a shelf
A dress on myself
There's some dust on the stair
I don't care
There's a pebble on a beach
A wave you can't reach
If your heart isn't there
I don't care
So Soon
Mind the children, Mary
Whistle a tune
Clap your hands
There are meals to choose
It does help, doesn't it?
So soon
Mind the children, Mary
Lace up your shoes
Wash your face
There are years to lose
Give me

Give me
A stolen kiss
Many
Give me
A little bliss
Take me
I want a midnight walk
Let me
Have an easy hour
Now
There was a man
And all he said was
I love the sound of the word money
To Sleep
There is china fever
On Table Mountain
As the storm squeezed
Through the pane of glass
I name this minute eternity
And wait for it to pass
Oh to sleep between my dreams
And live before my past
The ghost of the moment
Barked like a man
Come on... come on and find me
We seem frozen
As the hour shudders
Inside the air
Looks Like
There's been a shift
There's been a move
Feels like a change
Looks like a twist
Seems like a move
You've been strange
How strange
Anyway another girl said
Is this my time?
And the wind blew in her face
She said
What is it like when you do that?
And flowers fell over her
She asked
How does it feel mister?
And the moon fell in her lab
There's been a shift
Seems like a move
Feels like a change
How strange
Sometime
So they think they do better
Then they all agree
Sometimes swings slowly
For them and for me
When it's pitching for them
It's swaying for me
If it's ebbing for them
It's waving for me
If it's rolling for them
It's swimming for me
When it's drifting for them
It's diving for me
But it's moving for them
When it's shifting for me
And it's stirring for them
When it's standing for me
One of our Girls has Gone Missing
One of our girls has gone missing
We've heard she's left
So where do we go now?
It feels like theft
Feels like
One of our girls has gone over the wall
Under a wire
She's cut and run
But where is she now?
She's gone
She's lost her colour and faded away
Left an empty house
And moved into thin air
One of our girls has gone missing
Under a cloud
Will she come back
Or is she too proud?
She's gone
One of our girls has gone with the wind
And run away
For more than a minute
For more than a day
She's gone
So one of our birds has flown
Is that so distressing?
She can have her wings
Will she have our blessing?
She's gone
Time was
Time was when we got along
Time was when we got along
It's too bad that the feeling's gone
Time was when we could agree
Time was when we could agree
That time's gone now your find fault with me
I've got time
Things will work out fine
Trouble will not wreck my life
Trouble will not wreck my life
Someday you'll write what I'm saying now
