Wishbone 05:15
I lost my lover, I lost my one He was just here and then he was gone He went while I was sleeping, left neither note nor word And if I am still dreaming, pray that I be stirred. Never knew the truth and that’s no lie Thought I’d hang his true heart out to dry, so I Have to put him straight My Wishbone Is gonna bring him home My Wishbone Is gonna bring him home – ooh yeah I ran through the city, calling out his name Searched every corner then, searched them again My eyes burned through its faces, for the one I love No other shape will do there’s, only one I love. Didn’t even stop to say goodbuy So now I’m searching low & searching high, and I Never will give up My Wishbone Is gonna bring him home My Wishbone Is gonna bring him home – ooh yeah So I’ve set off for the country, to hunt for him there Deep into the forest on, a wing and a prayer Up across the hillside through the winter’s snow Where does he wander, where did he go? By the sun and by a firefly I search through all the day and through the night, but I Know I’m getting close My Wishbone Is gonna bring him home My Wishbone Is gonna bring him home – ooh yeah Hey Love? – Hey Love?

Monsoon 05:46
Can it be all creation is governed by a dream? For the wise see with diamond mind, bathe is silver streams Where we fell we will rise again Let it - let it - let it Start to flow love in motion Feeling grow with devotion Breezes blow from your ocean Let it all go Brew up your release monsoon, monsoon Warmth bring on heavenly tears All at once our thirst disappears Let us know you again now for sure with your monsoon Palm to palm fill your garden with promise untold From your crown one thousand lotus petals unfold What we give we will hold again Turn lead - turn lead - turn lead Into gold if you would be so bold Life’s elixir uncontrolled, It’s all in your hands If you dare Brew up your release monsoon, monsoon Warmth bring on heavenly tears All at once our thirst disappears Let us know you again now for sure with your monsoon And now all your love’s come pouring out Through every pore Love for love’s sake pouring out Can’t hold you back no-more Nothing comes for free even freedom it seems Now all your love comes pouring out.

You sought Mills & Boone, But took a chronic tragedy Not passion immune But a book that doesn’t wish to be read For if you turn my pages You’ll find no romance within; you’ll never win So don’t spend your love on me My heart hides a flaw An ECG could never find I’m cold to the core This beating muscle is just that to me And though it does it’s job well It never flutters, never falls, no not at all So don’t spend your love on me But if my book was open to correction I’d write you into its plot And if my heart was open to affection You would surely hit the spot - But I’m poor return And so suggest you cut your losses I only yearn To blow along where breezes take me And though your bid’s been counted It doesn’t matter what you pay, I’ll never stay Don’t spend your love on me And if my feet should take a new direction They’d find the path to your door And if my heart was open to affection It needn’t beat alone anymore – But I’m poor return And so advise to freeze your assets I only yearn To roll along where breezes take me So don’t inflate my interest
I’ll leave you broke & that’s for sure, So I implore You Don’t spend your love Don’t spend your love Don’t spend your love on me

My evil soul 04:30
The Day of Judgment, who will save me then? My wretched story, did not this way begin My love was unforsaken, two halves of a whole But when his life was taken, so too was my soul Won’t you pray for my evil soul Oh won’t you pray for my evil soul If you don’t pray for my evil soul I’m sure gonna pay for my evil soul My life a sin spree - to make your toes curl Damnation tails me - watch hell-fire unfurl There’s no escape see - I’ve been a bad girl So won’t you pray for my evil soul Won’t you pray for my evil soul Double, double, toil & trouble - since he took my love away Fire burn, cauldron bubble - since he took my love away Double, double, toil & trouble since he took my love away Eye of newt, toe of frog, wool of bat, tongue of dog – and so Look at my heart see, it’s black as coal Look at my heart see, it’s black as coal And if you can’t see it’s black as coal then you don’t see me, it’s black as coal ‘Cause I’m a straight through - abomination I’ll get what I’m due - with some inflation It’s way too late to - call on salvation now Look at my heart see, it’s black as coal So won’t you pray for my evil soul I’m going under, my head must roll I’m going under, my head must roll It ain’t no wander my head must roll Show me the way down into that hole I’m out the back door, ain’t ever coming home Open the trap door, to fire and brimstone Beelzebub whore, I’ll reap what I have sewn I’m going under my head must roll So won’t you pray for my evil soul Double, double, toil & trouble - since he took my love away Fire burn, cauldron bubble - since he took my love away Double, double, toil & trouble since he took my love away Eye of newt, toe of frog, wool of bat, tongue of dog – and so Why don’t you pray for my evil soul? Won’t you pray for my evil soul.

No way back 05:33
There’s no way back, love left home with the life I knew Yet as we crack I’m still really longing to Run from the truth Emotions stack we both bore more than we could bear Still there’s no slack for two hearts that have felt too much, Now sore to the touch A feeling that I can’t explain Rings my insides like a bell This feeling that I can’t ignore (Beats my drum) Beats from inside like a drum ‘cause there’s no way back from where we’ve come The morning dew quivering around us seems to know If we’d met new perhaps we’d never have to part But it’s horse before cart A band of blue hovers above us to expand And walking through this maze with a one way door Strangely I love you more A feeling that I can’t explain Rings my insides like a bell This feeling that I can’t ignore (Beats my drum) Beats from inside like a drum ‘cause there’s no way back from where we’ve come Many a course is lined up to fill your plate, open wide Holding our horses would only delay our fate for a while So we’ll take a bow, bite the bone swallow our goodbyes And let’s just allow sadness and joy as one Hang our tears in the sun A feeling that I can’t explain Rings my insides like a bell This feeling that I can’t ignore (Beats my drum) Beats from inside like a drum ‘cause there’s no way back from where we’ve come

Although you suffocate her, still she tolerates yuh But don’t think you’ll intimidate her, mama knows best Although she’s propagator, still you devastate her But she’ll just re-create yuh, mama knows best Gaia she’ll turn it round, Gaia she’ll turn it round Gaia will turn it round – turn it round Although you populate her, don’t think you’ll dominate her Don’t think you’ll re-locate her, mama knows best Although she cultivates yuh, still you depredate her One day she’ll re-circulate yuh, mama knows best Gaia she’ll turn it round, Gaia she’ll turn it round Gaia will turn it round – turn it round Gaia she’ll turn it round, Gaia she’ll turn it round Gaia will turn it round – turn it round ‘Cause you know there is no spare For your earth, your seas, your air She’s the only home you need She’s a bed for every seed And whatever you should bring Can be sure she’ll do her thing She lives, she breathes, she moves She loves to breathe through you Our roots, our veins we share You can feel her everywhere She knows the moves to make When to blow and when to quake When to heat and when to cool When to push and when to pull See you never will outdo You are her and she is you Gaia she’ll turn it round, Gaia she’ll turn it round Gaia will turn it round – turn it round We can’t hide, we can’t face it alone We are nothing without our mama Let’s get a little bit closer And oh wish that I’d be a better child for you Wish that I could show the world how to treat you right mama, mama I know you can take the strain Gonna take it in your stride Before us and after us she lives.

Old rope 06:20
The old rope’s tightening - day by day, more and more And though it chokes me now - still I cannot cut the cord ‘Cause I’m a slave to it The clock face winks at me - gathers time, ticking bomb But I’ll just stare him out - we both know I’ll succumb So I’m a slave to it, cannot escape from what you bring And the days roll by, we watch them fly off and into the night And with each dawn a clone is born uglier than before The days go by, we let them fly off and into the night And with each day, the heart gives way to oblivion Papa said, it don’t come easy The mind is bread for more and more and more My mother said, child keep it breezy Don’t be mislead, by more and more and more A tunnel widening - day by day, ain’t no doubt And in it’s blinding dark - still I cannot shut you out ‘Cause I’m a slave to it My demons laugh me down - with ever stronger force and might But I’ll just let them play - as they feed my appetite And I’m a slave to it, cannot escape from what you bring And the days roll by, we watch them fly off and into the night And with each dawn a clone is born uglier than before The days go by, we let them fly off and into the night And with each day, the heart gives way to oblivion Papa said, it don’t come easy The mind is bread for more and more and more My mother said, child keep it breezy Don’t be mislead, by more and more and more And the days roll by, we watch them fly off and into the night And with each dawn a clone is born uglier than before The days go by, we let them fly off and into the night And with each day, the heart gives way to oblivion

Palolem Bay 06:11
We watched the sun go down on Palolem Bay Then my love was gone Where his fiery light had burned away A vestige still shone And now the monsoon comes I felt the storm come to Palolem Bay It tore up the sky And the gods staged one killer display To mark your goodbye For now the monsoon comes I was brazen, always brazen for you My heart open, always open for you Now I’m falling and I don’t know where to Travelling merchants come to Palolem Bay With crystal and shells To parade the shore adorned with Jade Bangles and bells But now the monsoon came I was brazen, always brazen for you My heart open, always open for you Now I’m falling and I don’t know where to What could make my heart whole again? What could make my heart whole again? Who can make this heart sing? What could make my heart whole again? What could make my heart whole again? Who can make this heart sing? I watched the sun come up on Palolem Bay The old boats head south To cast a net for another day In this horseshoe mouth But now the monsoon comes I was brazen, always brazen for you My heart open, always open for you Now I’m falling and I don’t know where to

Ah, la la, ah la la la la la Ah, la la, ah la la la la la Go with Imp and Sprite dance into the night Until the dew dropped Foxglove fanfare blows And then you’ll take a stroll down through a Rabbit hole To dine on Violet, Marigold and Rose While Fairies play Ladybird dominoes Mama said she couldn’t come But she’s waiting at the glade She’ll whisper to the wolves “Tread soft where my baby plays” Close your eyes and go anywhere See anything you can dream Let the dark take you anywhere, anywhere Be anything, anything you can dream Ah, la la, ah la la la la la Ah, la la, ah la la la la la Board a Turtle tour down to the salt sea floor Where shooting Starfish boogie through the blue Rest in pearly caves where lost treasure’s saved While Coral cauldrons mix sea spells for you And Mermaids sing and clap their Clams… it’s true! Mama says she can’t be there But she watches from the shore She’ll coo the rolling swell Wave by wave she’ll kiss them calm Close your eyes and go anywhere See anything you can dream Let the dark take you anywhere, anywhere Be anything, anything you can dream Ah, la la, ah la la la la la Ah, la la, ah la la la la la
