Like A Dog

I hear the mob coming down on me
I hear the wolf is a reason to see
I’ve got to find another place to be
Where I’ll be hiding and no one sees
Cos I’m-a-love you baby
Yes I’m-a-loving you baby
Cos I’m-a-loving it all like a dog
Gotta watch me breathe
I hear the mob is a reason to run
I hear the wolf is a reason to hum
I’ve gotta find another place to go
Where I’ll be hiding - don’t take none
Cos I’m-a-love you baby
Yes I’m-a-loving you baby
Cos I’m-a-loving it all like a dog
Gotta watch me breathe
Woo-hoo
(Welcome)
Loving it all like a dog
Gotta watch me breathe

No more of you taking up my time
No more of me making your words rhyme
No more of you eating my sunshine
Cos today is the last day you left home
No more of me sparing your feelings
No more of me footing your dealings
No more of you asking my dream is
Cos today is the last day you left home
Do do do - do do do
Do do do do
Do do do - do do do
Do do do ah
No more of you calling his name out
Cos today, cos today
Cos today is the last day you left home
Do do do - do do do
Do do do do
Do do do - do do do
Do do do
Oh
Ah ah ah ah ah

Over on Wildbahn
Two of us crazy
Singing songs and drinking the wine
Your kind eyes tell wisdom mainly
From photogenic gentleman lines
Don’t go now
Don’t go now
I could wait a lifetime for a friend like you
Radiating sunshine in all that you do
Over on Wildbahn four of us crazy
Playing in the kitchen all night
Newly friends and writing stories
And how you wear your fatherly pride
Wait up now
Wait up now
I could wait a lifetime for a friend like you (you’re all good)
Radiating sunshine in all that you do (and you could)
So don’t doubt now (don’t doubt now)
Don’t doubt now
People who say that you changed their world
For I knew you and I miss you
All the way a life worth living
Over on Wildbahn
Two of us crazy
Singing songs and drinking the wine

All In My Head
01:29
|

|
Martha the celebrant walks down the aisle
Talks to the priest while he tries not to smile
Waits in the walls as he combs for the mile
All in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my -
Hubert the symphony conductor is late
Out to meet Harmony by the old lake
S’all in my head
S’all in my -
Well you’ve got to be talking but nobody’s walking instead

Some Day
02:25

|
Isn’t this what you stayed for?
Isn’t this what you pled for?
Isn’t this what you prayed for?
Some day
Isn’t this what you’re hearing?
Isn’t this what I’m hoping?
So hard to keep you from steering
Some day
Ever wanted, ever wanted I know you’re away
To be counted, to be chose some day
Some day
So hard to keep you from shouting
So hard to step in your lighting
So easy to predict what you’ll be doubting
Some day
Pride of place on your mantle
Best kept secret from the moguls
Go through the arch to the locals
Some day
Ever wanted, ever wanted I know you’re away
To be counted, to be chose some day
Some day
Some day
Some day
Some day

Somebody Hurt Me
03:52
|

|
Somebody hurt me I like so
Somebody hurt that I know
You see the bruise that I can’t show
You see the love that cannot flow
Oh who
Oh who
None of the doctors see the signs
None of the patients show their eyes
Scent of a drink at 8.05
Mounted frustration touch the knife
Ooh
Oh who
Shouting in the dark is a common escalator of time
Sitting on his knee ‘til he calms down or at least stops crying
Now I’m
Somebody hurt me in the sky
Somebody hurt me don’t know why
Crawl through a web of great big lies
When I turn eleven get eat twice
Mother wants to know if I turned out incredibly fine
I just wanna know why she stayed with him all the time
And all night
Now I’m -
All night
Now I’m -
Now I’m -

Mother Pillow
02:25
|
|||
|
No sudden look or sight
Came over Martha
She’s putting things to rights
To stay your mother
Mother Pillow singing songs
Puts my head in water
Help her bellow, hear her run
I’m no longer daughter
So when the morning comes
You won’t be waiting
She’s made the final sum
And totalled waiting
While the world watches as your carp
And hears you crying
Mother Pillow singing songs
Puts my head in water
Hear her bellow, here she comes
I’m no longer daughter
Ha
Ha
Ha
Ha
Uh huh

You’ve got to really like it
You've got to really like it
You’ve got to really like it for me
No soul beneath ya
No soul inside ya
No heart to guide ya freely
You want it, will it don’t have to try
Want it, keep it don’t wanna die
Will it, want it don’t have to sigh for you
You’ve got to really like it
You've got to really like it
You’ve got to really like it don’t you
No need to bother
Got me to guide ya
No soul to breach ya darlin’
There’s no cover, no hiding harbour
Love can find you anywhere
Break out, break in do it for fun
Watch it, hear it, wearing you come
Momentary roll of a drum
You feel me asking
I feel you changing
You’ve got to really like it
You've got to really like it
You’ve got to really like it for me
You’ve got to really like it
You've got to really like it
You’ve got to really like it for me

Scream By The Dozen
01:37
|
|||
|
When I don’t want to
Run away
Run my head back
Upon the sink
And if I’m lazy
That’s my voice
And if I’m hazy
Well that’s my voice
Scream by the dozen
You got the lovin’
I’ve got the real thing
Scream by the dozen
Lose all reason
But I’m not saying
I’m just staying in
I say what I want to
To who I like
I say if I can’t do
The things you try
And if it’s a question
Of being wrong
I’ll take the suggestion
And sing my song
Scream by the dozen
You got the lovin’
I’ve got the real thing
Scream by the dozen
Lose all reason
But I’m not saying
I’m just staying in
I’m not saying
I’m just staying in

The Bottle
01:59
|

|
You and me we know a lot about it
He and her well they may choose to doubt it
Hidden slurs are falling from the ceiling
Now I can’t help but wonder how I
I watched the bottle take a family
There’s no one nowhere
Nowhere to breathe
Say me and my brother all he got in the day
He take it out on us anyway
All this crying, being manipulated
To find out that we are not related
In the arms of maudlin obligation
Bordering on saying something
I watched the bottle take a family
There’s no one nowhere
Nowhere to breathe
Say me and my brother all he got in the day
He take it out on us anyway
Oh
Oh
Oh
Ho
I watched the bottle
I watched the bottle
I watched the bottle
Ha

When I Bury My Father
02:03
|
|||
|
Don’t take long
To sing your song
To feel you belong
Ah
Piece by piece
I’ll find my feet
Faint with almost relief
When I bury my father
When I bury my father
Ah
Shifting skies
The rising tides
And in the sky
Shit, I’ll bury my father
Watch this space
Watch me pained
To watch me pace
While I bury my father
Where I buried my father
When I bury my father
When I bury my father
Ooh
Ooh
Oh

The World Goes Round
02:14
|
|||
|
I can see the start of the day
When my baby is underground
Waiting for the war to pass through
While I see all the saints surround
All the people crying and all the people sighing
The fence surrounds
For all the people dying and all the people lying
The world goes round
I wonder if you threw it away
Or if it’s maybe you just don’t care
You just look at people like paint
Something splashed over walls so bare
All the people crying and all the people sighing
The fence surrounds
All the people dying and all the people lying
The world goes round
Ah
Ah - oh
Ah
Ah

Throw My Love Away
02:09
|

|
By the garden
Saw you charming
Him so sudden
Throw my love away
Like the falling of the rain
Throw my love away
Like you’re doing every day
If you love him
Then go find him
Throw my love away
Like the falling of the rain
Throw my love away
Like you’re doing every day
Throw my love away
Like the falling of the rain
Fall of the rain
On a tear stained island
Fall of the rain
When nothing warms
Throw my love away
Like the falling of the rain
Like you’re doing every/throw my love away
Like the falling of the rain
Throw my love away
Like you’re doing every day

The Heavenly Doctor
02:19

If you gotta go
I’ll tell you I’m a -
Admit that I’m a boy with a newstand
My coat it likes to the flow
Too big for my elbows
Roll up my sleeves and tell you the good thread
But if you wanna see
The real real me
I’ll meet you right on out by the New Strand
We’ll go to a show
Too loud for ELO
You’ll break my heart whenever you don’t laugh
All I know
The heavenly doctor says so
She’s so low
I don’t even want to leave her alone
She matter to me
Flattered to be
The mad old hatter offering her the big banana
Sick as I seem
It’s something in me
That takes me back to her pyjamas
So I gotta run
Right out to the sun
I can’t explain in words I can write down
I hope that you find
This letter so fine
And see it as a cushioning let-down
All I know
The heavenly doctor says so
She’s so low
I don’t even want to leave her alone
She matter to me
Flattered to be
The mad old hatter offering her the big banana
Sick as I seem
There’s something in me
That takes me back to her pyjamas
She matter to me
Flattered to be
The mad old hatter offering her the big banana
Sick as I seem
There’s something in me
That takes me back to her pyjamas
Oh - oh oh oh
Oh - oh oh oh
All I know
The heavenly doctor says so
She’s so low
I don’t even want to leave her alone
She matter to me
Flattered to be
Offering her the big banana, big banana
Sick as I seem
There’s something in me
That takes me back to her pyjamas
She matter to me
Flattered to be
The mad old hatter offering her the big banana
Sick as I seem
There’s something in me
That takes me back to her pyjamas
