<strong>Lyrics</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>So Long Kid (12/03/09)</strong><br />
F Am C Em<br />
I kill my friends so they don’t kill me first<br />
It’s so cold up here; don’t even know what time it is<br />
You’re wonderful; you remember everything that happens<br />
Away for fifteen years; don’t even know what time it is<br />
So so long kid, so long kid, so long kid<br />
I went back to the cellar of the house,<br />
I felt sick as the rain began to fall<br />
My room was locked; couldn’t find the key,<br />
Slept outside the door at the end of the hall<br />
You woke me up when you came back in,<br />
My head was sore, my eyes were black<br />
I saw the flash and I heard the crack,<br />
Knew there and then there was no way back<br />
So so long kid, so long kid, so long kid<br />
I never wanted it to be like this,<br />
All I wanted was a your loving kiss<br />
You’re lying on the floor, can’t get by to the door<br />
I hear them coming and I want to hide<br />
No single soul will be on my side<br />
So so long kid, so long kid, so long kid<br />
You’re wonderful; you remember everything that happens<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The Sound of the Fall Part 1 (08/05/06 & 10/11/08)</strong><br />
Am E G D F C E E / A C# D F/G<br />
When I walk into the store<br />
And it’s so quiet and the shelves are all so full<br />
I just want to pull it down<br />
Down to the ground<br />
And listen to the sound of the fall<br />
I’m so angry with myself<br />
All the foolish things I’ve done year after year<br />
That’s me up there on the shelf<br />
I’m coming down as I listen to the sound of the fall<br />
And every day goes by so fast<br />
I never know if it’s my last<br />
I’m left outside as the world goes rushing past<br />
I’m down on the ground<br />
And I’m listening to the sound of the fall<br />
I do nothing day to day<br />
And I know that when I go<br />
All the stuff I’ve bought won’t save me from my fate<br />
I’ll be lying on the ground<br />
Listening to the sound of the fall<br />
Now the party is in full swing but I’m listening<br />
I’m listening to the sound of the fall<br />
Now the sound system has failed<br />
And it’s so quiet here I’ve got the future nailed<br />
I need to open up my eyes<br />
Get myself off of the ground<br />
And stop listening to the sound of the fall<br />
But I don’t think that I can change<br />
Try as I might I know that I am quite deranged<br />
My world gets faster everyday<br />
I’m lying on the ground<br />
And all I hear is the sound of the fall<br />
Now the party is in full swing but I’m listening<br />
I’m listening to the sound of the fall<br />
So now I understand the game<br />
But I still live my life exactly the same<br />
I need to open up my eyes<br />
Get myself off of the ground<br />
And stop listening to the sound of the fall<br />
<br />
<strong><br />
I Believed You Said We Dreamt (6/3/09)</strong><br />
D C G / Em G C<br />
You lied about everything you promised me was true<br />
And that’s something that I never thought you’d do<br />
I believed you said I believed we dreamt I believed<br />
Recognised my father’s jersey underneath the long red coat<br />
Looked upon the young man up above me<br />
With a lump in my throat<br />
I believed you said I believed we dreamt I believed<br />
The shilling underneath my pillow I never questioned how<br />
The baby carried to the rooftop I never wondered how<br />
I believed you said I believed we dreamt I believed<br />
It took me years to realise I could live without your love<br />
Now I look back and see it all so very clearly from above<br />
I believed you said I believed we dreamt I believed<br />
You took my heart you tore it out you stamped it<br />
Down and down and down<br />
And I just sat there looking on and watching like a clown<br />
I believed you said I believed we dreamt I believed<br />
You lied about everything you promised me was true<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Non Industrial Catastrophe Blue (15-17/3/09)</strong><br />
Em G A<br />
I had a dream I went out back<br />
Out through the gate to get the car<br />
The car had gone there was an angel<br />
Instead of white his robes were blue,<br />
I looked at you and I asked “why?”<br />
And you just said “It’s what you wanted”<br />
Non Industrial Catastrophe Blue<br />
Instead of steel his wings were wood,<br />
And they were glazed we could see right through<br />
See everything that he had in there<br />
I went closer still and there was writing on the wall<br />
I couldn’t read but then the words came into focus<br />
It said “Non Industrial Catastrophe Blue”<br />
Then I awoke and you were sleeping by my side the cat was<br />
Lying in between us, she was purring<br />
It was only six but I thought I should get up now<br />
And get myself off to the beach and watch the sunrise<br />
Non Industrial Catastrophe Blue<br />
I had a song inside my head the day before it wasn’t great<br />
But it was fine to get things started<br />
Worked out the rhythm of the words that I required<br />
Then told the story of the dream and how it ended<br />
The angel spoke he told a tale of when he roamed across<br />
The earth just touching people and they fell there<br />
Instead of white his robes were blue<br />
I looked at you and I asked “why?”<br />
And you just said “It’s what you wanted”<br />
Non Industrial Catastrophe Blue<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Tomorrow or the Day After Next (31/1/09)</strong><br />
C Em Am Em / F Dm C C-G G / F C / F C C-G G<br />
When will you tell me your name?<br />
Tomorrow or the day after next<br />
I’ll be around, you won’t hear a sound<br />
Biding my time, committing no crime<br />
Whenever you like<br />
Tomorrow or the day after next<br />
I’ll be around, you won’t hear a sound<br />
Biding my time, committing no crime<br />
I’ll be your friend<br />
Right till the end<br />
You’ll want me right here<br />
It’s all crystal clear<br />
You know the rules of the game<br />
Tomorrow or the day after next<br />
I’ll be around, you won’t hear a sound<br />
Biding my time, committing no crime<br />
When will you tell me your name?<br />
Tomorrow or the day after next<br />
I’ll be around, you won’t hear a sound<br />
Biding my time, committing no crime<br />
I’ll be your friend, right till the end<br />
You’ll want me right here, it’s all crystal clear<br />
So tell me your name, tell me your name<br />
You’ll tell me your name, it’s always the same<br />
You’ll tell me your name, it’s always the same<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Please Stay With Us (21/1/2006 & 9/11/08)</strong><br />
G Em / Am C G / D (C+1) C Em G / D C G D<br />
And so this is your home now<br />
You can put your things anywhere you like<br />
There’s plenty of space for you to fill<br />
You can change it around now<br />
Arrange these things anyway you like<br />
The key’s on a hook on the wall by the door<br />
This is home for us all now<br />
There’s a room and a bed for all of us<br />
Say you’ll work with us and you’ll eat with us<br />
And you’ll stay with us<br />
Please stay with us...<br />
And here is your bedroom<br />
Your bed is so soft and warm and clean<br />
But it’s not exactly new, if you’re worried,<br />
I can wash the linen again<br />
Please stay with us...<br />
Or here is the fireplace<br />
You can sleep by it every single night<br />
I won’t trouble you, I’m not ill<br />
We’ll take care of you like no-one else will<br />
Please stay with us...<br />
Please stay...<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>We Drove (20/12/08)</strong><br />
Am F C Em/G<br />
We drove out along the coast road<br />
We saw deer on the headland<br />
The white red roofed villas<br />
Patches of forest and the ocean oh so blue<br />
The tide was out and the sand<br />
So golden on the edge of the beach<br />
We drove through the town passing down the coast<br />
Across the rolling country and up into the mountains<br />
We went over and the road stretched out ahead<br />
I glanced at my watch it was time to go back<br />
And I knocked on the glass and I asked the driver<br />
“Please turn around”<br />
Back at the hotel where we stayed close to St John<br />
We stopped the car and I got out and the man<br />
Carried the bags to the door as I stood at reception<br />
I’ll see you around don’t worry about the money<br />
I’ll see you around and I waved to the car as you drove off<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>My House Could Be Your Home (16/11/08)</strong><br />
Am C G D / C Em / G B / C Em (D)<br />
You’ve just arrived in town from somewhere far away<br />
You don’t know anyone, you sit and watch TV all day<br />
Don’t really know what all those funny folk are saying<br />
You fall back on your faith and you fill your day with praying<br />
Come on round, for my house could be your home<br />
Won’t you come on round, come on round<br />
I know it seems like nothing’s going right today<br />
Why don’t you pack your bags, come on over here and stay<br />
Put the book behind you open up your eyes<br />
One day you’ll see how you’ve been poisoned by the lies<br />
Come on round, for my house could be your home<br />
Won’t you come on round, don’t rely upon the phone<br />
Won’t you come on round, there’s no need to be alone<br />
Won’t you come on round, come on round,<br />
I’ll introduce you to a world of fun and laughter<br />
We can turn this town upside down<br />
And we can sing and we can dance<br />
If you’ll just give this world a chance<br />
Come on round, there’s no need to be alone<br />
Won’t you come on round, don’t rely upon the phone<br />
Won’t you come on round, for my house could be your home<br />
Won’t you come on round, come on round<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Blend (15/6/08 and 27/9/08)</strong><br />
Em D C Am G / Am C G / G Em D C G<br />
Keep your feet on the ground<br />
Don’t think out loud<br />
Play dead when you fall<br />
Don’t answer their call<br />
Keep yourself to yourself<br />
Do nothing at all<br />
I walked through the silence and the colour and the heat<br />
And in the twilight saw his fingers play the barrel of his gun<br />
The silence is chilling<br />
Then it starts again<br />
The voice comes from nowhere<br />
And then I see the radio<br />
We curve round and down and off the bridge<br />
The big sign with the stars over looking the falls<br />
When he comes into the room<br />
One thing that strikes me is the tune<br />
They think they know, they don’t know anything at all<br />
And when the telephone does ring<br />
When you are walking through the rain<br />
And then you know that there is someone after all<br />
Play dead when you fall<br />
Do nothing at all<br />
Keep your feet on the ground<br />
Blend in with the crowd<br />
Blend<br />
<br />
<strong>The Fire in the Clearing (20/12/08 & 11/01/09)</strong><br />
E<br />
He stood up, he was alright<br />
He looked up at the track<br />
And the tail lights in the night<br />
And the loco, tight round the curve<br />
There was water on both sides of the track<br />
Felt his knee, trousers torn to flesh and bone<br />
He tried to strap, he tried the telephone<br />
Down to the water, watch them come round again<br />
He was covered in cuts and bruises<br />
Felt the lump over his eye<br />
Couldn’t believe what had hit him<br />
Oh so dark, out in the night<br />
Along the track he saw the fire<br />
Down the embankment down on the wire<br />
The track came out through the cut<br />
The fire was burning, the clearing opened out<br />
He fell away into the woods<br />
The fire was bright<br />
At the edge of the trees<br />
There was a man, he was down on his knees<br />
With his head in his hands looking at the fire<br />
Head in his hands looking at the fire<br />
The man looked at him, he looked at the man<br />
And in the light of the fire<br />
His face was misshapen<br />
His nose was sunken<br />
His eyes were slits<br />
He had queer shaped lips<br />
Oh Oh Oh Oh<br />
The man’s face, the baby’s face<br />
The man’s face, the baby’s face<br />
He looked so dead in the firelight<br />
Away from the fire<br />
Across to the tracks<br />
Climbed the embankment<br />
Blood on his back<br />
Found he had some food<br />
Deep down in his sack<br />
Put it in his pocket<br />
Then he walked away<br />
He could see the fire in the clearing<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>They Broke The Door Down (29 & 30/03/09)</strong><br />
E / Am / F C G<br />
He lived alone above the grocery store<br />
With his memories and his lies<br />
And every night he’d make his way downtown<br />
Where he’d meet up with his boys<br />
They broke the door down, they broke the door down<br />
And they found him lying on the floor<br />
When he emerged from the dimly lit room<br />
And the lights shone in his face<br />
They took him down with such heavy handed force<br />
That his blood was all over the place<br />
They broke the door down, they broke the door down<br />
And they found him lying on the floor<br />
The sky was dark and the clouds were grey<br />
When he took the long last walk<br />
The children played with a hop skip and jump<br />
On the sidewalk marked with chalk<br />
They broke the door down, they broke the door down<br />
And they found him lying on the floor<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The Sound of the Fall Part 2 (08/05/06 & 10/11/08) </strong><br />
Am E G D F C E E / A C# D F/G<br />
I take a walk across the park<br />
The sun is out, it isn’t dark<br />
I lie upon the grass, under the blue sky<br />
Down on the ground and I listen to the sound of the fall<br />
I buy some ice cream from the van<br />
Ice cream and chocolate and a Coke from the man<br />
I tidy up before I leave<br />
I walk back to our home as I listen to the sound of the fall<br />
And the garden looks so good<br />
I like the fence you made from those old bits of wood<br />
There’s no traffic driving down our little street<br />
Safe for our kids and I’m listening to the sound of the fall<br />
I have a job that pays me well<br />
It’s not too hard and I bring happiness to all<br />
Bring home the bacon as you look after our home<br />
We can sunbathe out the back<br />
While we listen to the sound of the fall<br />
Now the party is in full swing and we’re listening<br />
We’re listening to the sound of the fall<br />
And our sound system is great<br />
The reproduction makes you feel like you are there<br />
All our friends come round and party through the night<br />
We dance around the room<br />
As we listen to the sound of the fall<br />
I hope that we won’t ever change<br />
Like that old song that goes “home on the range”<br />
Our life gets better every day<br />
Not a care in the world<br />
As we listen to the sound of the fall<br />
Now the party is in full swing and we’re listening<br />
We’re listening to the sound of the fall<br />
And we both love each other more and more each day<br />
There’s no way that you or I will go away<br />
We’ll watch our children grow<br />
And have families of their own<br />
Keep our feet on the ground<br />
As we listen to the sound of the fall<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>My Last Trip (14/2/09)</strong><br />
Am D<br />
I don’t think that anyone should know<br />
What I feel right now<br />
When morning came, I had used him up<br />
Like a drunkard<br />
I had hoped it would be my last trip<br />
What is there that you can write right now?<br />
Now that he is dead?<br />
The critics dive into their vats of hate<br />
Now that he is dead<br />
Howard was a hero to us all but we didn’t know<br />
<br />
