Time and Time

Can you tell me where to step?
Can you tell me where to turn?

Time and time and time again

Can you tell me when to start?
Can you tell me when to stop?

Covered love over the cliff
Off the rail, all over the place

Stop, turn, stop

Back to Back

We dance back to back
Throw me a line
(I wish they'd throw me a line)
To loosen my spine
(We dance your way)
We dance your way
(We dance)
We dance
(We dance)
We dance
(We dance)
We dance
(We dance)

I'm on the track
(Cut the track)
Tied on the rack
(Around go the wheels)
Around go the wheels
(Around go the wheels)
Around go the wheels
(Around go the wheels)
Around go the wheels
(Around go the wheels)
Around go the wheels
(Around go the wheels)

Let's go
([Go way?])
Let's go
(We shall)
Let's go
(I think)
Let's go
(We shall)
We dance this way
(We dance that way)
We dance that way
(We dance this way)
We dance
Back to back (back to back)

Holy Joe

Stuck on the corner
The wind ripped through
Meaningless shallow
Ancient ground
Adding up angles
Summing up angels
Said please
Said please
Said please
Please don't leave me alone

Swing high, swing low
Holy Joe

He hoped to be
The one who made generals [?]
He hoped to be
The master tracks [?]

He hoped to be
The diver who rose from bare Mother Earth
He hoped to be
Fifth place in fifteen years
He hoped to be
He hoped to be

He hoped to be
He said please
Please, please
Please don't leave me
High low

Available throughout the year
And, er... provisions of the importance of the copyright act
A new copyright
Becomes protector of the copyright
This one goes according to the planning

Vanite

You can make it for yourself
It's too easy to be a target
You'd be surprised just how thoughtful mothers are being
Someone should, at last, grant you the retribution you think you deserve
And you could find yourself invited
Into a prestigious or exclusive gathering

Only One I

Only one I

Today's Version

Today's version, the unwritten
No lexicon, no lexicon
Today's version, they have written
It's a fair case inside
No lexicon, no lexicon
So I'm becoming a [?]
Put on those songs
They're called love songs
If you feel good
I feel much better today
No lexicon, no lexicon
Stand for me at the window
The one with those brackets
Open the windows, open the windows
No lexicon, no lexicon

I Will

She would say
"Yes, I will"
Are you there?
OK, now we can

Mhona

Your smile is sweet, Mhona
Your priceless face, Mhona
Seen on the streets, Mhona
In every hall, Mhona
Your sisters surround us, Mhona
But who can repeat, Mhona
You never change, Mhona
Look at her now

My face in her eyes, Mhona
May never fade, Mhona
Light is too harsh, Mhona
Room of your own, Mhona
Guided by glass, Mhona
Mhona, Mhona

Crystal Streams

They're armless and harmless
They're redundant and worthless
They're betrayed and helpless
They're barred from all success
When they push out the boat
They only blame us

We're in the land of golden dreams Of swiftly running game and brightly shining crystal streams
