1. _ Belle Of The Ball
Words and music by roddy frame
When you're the belle of the ball
It's hard to fall
And sacrifice your status for a fool
But all your apparatus and your charm
Can never cool the still, still waters
Or warm the chilling air
When you're the belle of the ball
And your gown's a-shining
And your underlining all my thoughts
Why give yourself to he who has the lot?
I have something to declare
Sensing when to smile
It's like predicting miles...
You'll never know
To kiss and then caress
Could crease your party dress...
And spoil the show
So the belle of the ball
Will bow to protocol
Misfortune won't befall her she's the star
She'll glide into the night
Beneath her guiding light
She'll suffer every slight and heed the call
But it's alright, it's alright
She's the belle of the ball

2. _ Vertigo
Words and music by roddy frame
Dear people i've
Seen something i
Can't leave alone or give to chance
No matter how i try
Born from the knowledge of a girl
Thrown into the arms of man
The mother of necessity
The child of war...
So i feel it and i heed it
And i need it then i let it be done
Until i know it and i show it
And it grows until we both become one
The sound of the swiss bells
The promise of a young girl
Both falling softly on the white white hills
Versus a famous face
In the sheen of a cadillac
See you some other place
Man, i'm going back
To where i'm captured and caressed
And life's undressed and left where living belongs
To where i feel it and it heals
And we've revealed until we both become one
I see the foot of the hill
Embrace the sky and then it's easy
Forget framo and i
I wonder why and see the real me
I climb to the top of the tower
I see a shooting star
Reach out to touch it and it falls...
Alone.
Now that her smile has stuck
I cannot go back to your frownland
Now that her sun is up
I cannot go back to your downland
Because i feel it and i need it
And i heed it and i let it be done
Until i know it and i show it
And it grows until we both become one
So bin your filas babe
Pull on your shoes
And scale the real heights
The gifts that goodness gave
Destroys the blues
And leave a lovelight
We climb to the top of the tower
We see a shooting star
Reach out to touch it and we fall...
As one.

3. _ Pianos And Clocks
Words and music by roddy frame
Well, hello there, sweet to see you,
Like your colour, how you doin'?
I've been battered and bewildered
In the beauty of your ruins
Flash, flash and i am blinded
By the fact that you've been born
Feels like fiction life goes on
Brown eyes are gone
Silence is a virtue
I was taught so i agreed
Conversation half forgotten
Is the hole i hold in me
And all our language and expression
Is decimated by decree
The sound of song dies in the dawn
Brown eyes are gone
Descended slowly on the
Steps of the cathedral
Where i kissed you,
Remembered candles lit with meaning
I imposed but that escaped you
With your brown eyes
And your blue jeans
I heard the chiming of the clocks
Kick out the shifting
Shuffling rhythm of your docs
Hit the road with my compadre
Saw the city incomplete
We were tossed and torn and tumbled
In your famous foreign streets
I felt so fearless and forgotten
No-one numbered nothing neat
The son has shone, we still belong,
Brown eyes are gone
So farewell then senorita
Pianos played and set the tone
I was singing like a servant
To the tune of telephones
I wish you freedom and forgiveness
And a time that is your own
Blue is the colour, mine's the moment
Brown eyes are gone

4. _ Spanish Horses
Words and music by roddy frame
Ran a redlight
Running lonely
Through gaudi's soft confusion
Hey, hey my barcelonan
Such a gentle jones
Running through my bones
Placa reial calls
It calls, it calls
It calls the night home.
Chorus:
And then her eyes
Like spanish horses
Danced as language died
They danced
Like spanish horses
As saddensd skies
Descended on the night
We saw two ships set sail
And the lights danced
On the water, they danced
They danced
Like spanish horses
Trying to exorcise
The thought that daytime dies
Race, run and stumble
Fall into dark
See the fire, see the spark
Then you fall, then you fall
So free and humble
You tumble.
Chorus
You're born from bloody revolution
You're lost to simplicity
And small solutions
So you burn
When you're born
Then you burn
Burn, burn...

5. _ Dream Sweet Dreams
Words and music by roddy frame
Love is sleepwalkin'
Coppin' unworldly sights
Searchin' and stoppin'
Bangin' the world to rights
Can't let kilometres
Or colours defeat us try
For something so sweet
We'll never be beat
We'll conquer the seas
And sail the deep blue sky
I dream a dumb dream
The fires are blazin' bright
The faces of famine
Are fed in the flames
Sweet light
The guns are a burnin'
The bullets are silent shells
The hands are a turnin'
The times are a changin'
The lovers are learnin'
Ringing out the bells
Hold tight
All night
Always alright
We're on a wave

6. _ Valium Summer
Words and music by roddy frame
Where the streets just sparkle silently
And leave the lovers to the night
Remembering how they came together
With such violence
Felt so good they did it twice
Too early for september songs
But much too late for love to bloom
Chorus:
V-a-l-i-u-m summer
Could you be mine shine through my summer
Could we be set free fly all summer
V-a-l-i-u-m summer
Misunderstood the moon and missed the sun
Too busy waiting on the word go
But now your lips will last a lifetime
And every second is a rainbow
Too early for september songs
But much too late for love to bloom
Chorus

7. _ Birds
Words and music by roddy frame
"hey baby, baby bring your love to me"
Repeats the radio relentlessly
All day i dream a dream where feelings flee
In free formation.
The sweetest sound reflects in saddened eyes
Defies description and identifies
The heart that hungers for the sudden skies
The souls migration.
Chorus:
How sweet to fly
To touch the sky
To feel in the flow
Like the one who glides there.
I feel we flew
We never knew
But to know is to go
When your heart resides there.
I take a winter coat and walk the square
The people gather and the birds they scare
Concrete and clay conspire to cage me there
Among the lost boys.
Down in the streets i see the trees grow bare
Broken and battered in the thinning air
The birds are scattered and my footsteps there
I long for lost joy.
Chorus

8. _ Let Your Love Decide
Words and music by roddy frame
Well, when i've questioned
All i could and come undone
And only sadness stands
Between me and the sun
When loving leaves and leaves me
Waiting on the one
And my heart can't hide
And when seduction separates
Me from surprise
I open my eyes and
I let your love decide
I let your love decide
I let your love decide
Well, when i saw you in the spring
You caught my eye
Eluded me and made me wonder why
An unassuming, undermining kinda guy
Could not be on your side
And when your brown eyes and my blue
Did so collide
I sat by your side and i shied away
And i let your love decide
I let your love decide
I let your love decide
Well, if the world was like i wished
When i was young
When all the things that i had thought
Could still be done
When we could win the wars
And wars could still be won
And i didn't miss you
And when the world was opening up
Like a father to his son
And i could kiss you
Well, let your love decide
Well, let your love decide
So let your love decide

9. _ Safe In Sorrow
Words and music by roddy frame
I'm not trying to say
I'm so much stronger than you
I'm just trying to save you
From that long dark night
You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly so you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow.
So turn on the light
I'll make you feel
That all of tonight
Is realer than real.
Feel my devotion dawning
Slowly like a summer day
You'll see you don't have to be safe in sorrow.
We look at the world
And see it's bigger than we'll be
Take a look at the stars
They shine so free
You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly
So you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow.
So turn on the light
I'll make you feel
That all of tonight
Is realer than real.
Open your arms and let me in
Don't stay safe from harm
Let love begin
Take that ride
There's no need to hide
So safe in sorrow
You've been down on your knees
Building up a big brick wall
Too scared to fly so you'll never fall
You're safe in sorrow.
Just open your eyes
Then you will see
There's no need to be
So safe in sorrow
Let me turn on the light
Then you will see
My love is for free
You're safe from sorrow now.

10. _ Black Lucia
Words and music by roddy frame
People say that all i do
Is talk about you
But that's not true
I talk about you
Think about you
Dream about you
Can't live without you
It's just not true.
I can almost feel the sunshine
When black lucia led the white parade
Let me always be the one who's left behind
When they desert you.
Chorus:
She's not your blue eyed girl
No diamond calling
She's a darkened sky
A crystal light
When the day runs dry
And the rain is falling
Black lucia led me into night.
I never thought that i could ever be the same
Until i met you
I thought my time had been arranged
Times have changed
Since you came
I miss you
I can almost feel the sunshine
When black lucia led the white parade
Let me always be the one who's left behind
When they desert you.
Chorus
She's not your blue eyed girl
No diamond calling
She's a darkened sky
A crystal light
When the day runs dry
And rain is falling
Black lucia lead me into night.

11. _ Sister Ann
Words and music by roddy frame
When days are just a trail of clothes
Slung over poetry and prose
A red reminder of the things i owe
A songbird silenced in the setting snow
I'm left here looking at the bones
I'm stranded in a sea of stepping stones
I stood inside of something i'd outgrown
A simple sadness in the great unknown
I think again and thank the earth
And kiss the stone
I saw the anger in your eyes
Neutralised
Made hollow
Faith and healing met the wide eyed child
Redemption smiled
I followed
It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick
Then the summer and your heart gets fixed
And i say
Chorus:
Sister ann says "there's no need to be down,
There's something you can do"
It all follows
Sister ann says "there's no need to find solace in anything,
If you don't want to"
It's like the light is gonna find you then
Then the beauty in your eyes
And the stillness of the night
And the beating of your breast
Is gonna put you there again
The single silence of a kiss
Two voices merged and gone amiss
Belief that bends and so beyond that bliss
Finds deeper darkness on relies on this
Then wide awake it wonders why and says resist
I saw the anger in your eyes
Neutralised
Made hollow
Faith and healing met the wide eyed child
Redemption smiled
I followed
It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick
Then the summer and your heart gets fixed
And i say
Chorus
