1. _ Sugar Boy
Sugar boy its all over now,
Sugar boy its all over now,
Ain't your loving,
But the things that you do,
Listen boy I'm getting tired of you,
Sugar boy what you trying to do,
Well I told you I loved you,
Now what more can I do,
Told you I loved you,
You beat my heart black and blue,
I told you I loved you,
Now what more can I do,
Do you want me to lay down
And die for you.
Sugar boy its all over now,
Sugar boy its all over now,
Went to the doctor,
Told me something was wrong,
Listen girl you shouldn't feel so alone.
Sugar boy what you trying to do,
Well I told you I loved you,
Now what more can I do,
Told you I loved you,
You beat my heart black and blue,
I told you I loved you,
Now what more can I do,
Do you want me to lay down
And die for you.
Lay down and die,
Lay down and die,
Well I'm not gonna lay down and die,
No I'm not gonna lay down and die,
Oh no I won't lay down and die,
Never gonna lay down and die,
Oh no I'm never gonna lay down and die for you,
Oh no I'm never gonna lay down and die for you,
I'm never gonna lay down and die.

2. _ Blood Red River
Took a friend I found
Cross some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forgive her.
Why must people always fall for what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the,
I'm sure it used to stay.
Is it only a dream away?
Took a raft I found
Cross some blood red river.
Never did find my way home
In time for my dinner
Why must people always fall for what they never have?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's dead?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the ...
I'm sure it used to stay.
Is it only a dream away?
I lost a friend
I found down some blood red river.
Never did find my way home
In time to forget home.
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?
How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the,
The ? we used to
Is it only a dream away?

3. _ Feel to Believe
You lose it just to find it
And as you walk right by it
You forget how you got there,
And why you never meant to stay.
And I won't watch you waste away.
And I won't fake another day
And if one truth leads you to fly
I still don't believe in your reasons why
I just don't believe in why.
You love her.
You need her
To feel is to believe her.
You know it.
You want it.
You just can't believe you've ot it.
And I can't watch you waste away
And I won't you still to stay.
And if one truth leads you to fight
I still don't believe in your reasons why.
I just don't believe in why.
I couldn't watch you walk away
And not forget it.
I couldn't watch you turn to stone
And just regret it a single day.
Not a single day.
If I lose you
Could you find me?
Or would you walk right by me?
The soul and the spirit
Each have got their own limit.
And I can't waste another second
Living in hell like it's some kind of heaven.
And if one truth leads to another
Then isn't there one I can uncover,
There isn't one I will not discover.
It's the right time.
It's my time.
It's the right time.
It's my time.
It's my turn to discover.
And I won't waste a single second
Living in hell as a nadir of heaven
And if one truth leads you to five,
I still don't believe in your reasons why.
And if one truth leads to another,
Isn't there one we can uncover?
If there isn't one that we cannot discover.
So it's our time.
It's our time to discover.

4. _ Don't Need a Reason
Have you ever seen a sign,
That upon a time,
There were angels,
We all lose track,
Was upon our backs,
Feel the weight of them,
Why they fall is hard tell,
But some things you can buy yourself,
Yeah we all hurt the ones we love,
And we don't need a reason,
We only give what we think we deserve,
An' that's something to believe in,
I think I've seen a sign,
But its a very fine line,
If you want it all,
An' don't lose track,
For on our back,
There's no weight of wings,
When they shine is hard to say,
But some things never fade away,
We only hurt the ones we love,
Why we don't need a reason,
We only give what we think we deserve,
An' that's something to believe in,
So I've been calling angels down to Earth,
An' I don't need a reason,
Calling angels down to Earth,
Because I believe we need them,
We only hurt the ones we love,
Why we don't need a reason,
Gonna get all that you deserve,
And all that you believe in,
Do you believe in,
Do you need them,
If you need them,
Do you know,
Do you need them,
If you need them,
Do you know,
Do you need them,
If you need them.

5. _ Pass in Time
So much stays unknown till the time has come.
Did you imagine you could ever be so strong,
Then watch your fear just turn into relief?
Your sea of doubt become your own belief?
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The tears will help to keep your need at bay.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
A mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died,
'oh darling, darling, don't you be like me.
You will fall in love with the very first man you meet.'
But mama, mama, some will never know;
The love that you have is still holding my soul.
[Beth Orton & Terry Callier:]
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a little while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
[Beth Orton:]
You're here just a while
[Terry Callier:]
Here just a while
[Beth Orton:]
So much stays unknown till the time you are strong.
Did you imagine you could ever feel so strong,
And all your pain just turns into relief?
All your doubt becomes your own belief?
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The years will help to keep your need at bay.
[Beth Orton & Terry Callier :]
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
So come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
Come on now, come on now, child.
You're here just a while.
[Beth Orton:]
You're here just a while
[Terry Callier:]
Here just a while
[Beth Orton:]
You're here just a while
You might as well smile,
You might as well smile,
'cause tomorrow, you just don't know.
It will pass. it's gonna pass.
Beth orton & terry callier :
It will pass in time.
It will pass in time.
It will pass.
It will pass in time.
It will pass in time.
It will pass.
[Beth Orton:]
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass in time.
[Beth Orton & Terry Callier:]
It will pass in time
It will pass.
[Beth Orton:]
It's gonna pass
[Terry Callier:]
It will pass in time.
[Beth and terry:]
It's gonna pass
[Beth Orton:]
It's gonna pass

6. _ Stolen Car
You walked into my house last night
I couldn't help but notice
A light that was long gone
Still burning strong
You were sitting
Your fingers like fuses
Your eyes were cinnamon
You said you'd stand for every known abuse
That was ever
Threatened
To anyone but you
And why should I know better by now
When I'm old enough not to?
While every line speaks the language of love
It never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I can't decide over right or wrong
I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong
Some may sing the wrong words to the wrong melody
It's little things like this that matter to me
Others feel that you should stand
For every known abuse to hand
And all the things that they could never see
You said you stood for every known abuse
That was ever
Promised
To anyone like you
Don't you wish you knew better by now
When you're old enough not to?
When every line speaks the language of love
It never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I can't decide over right or wrong
You left the feeling that I just do not belong
(do not belong, do not belong, do not belong)
One drink too many and a joke gone too far
I see a face drive like a stolen car
Gets harder to hide when you're hitching a ride
Harder to hide what you really saw
Oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse
That I've ever seen my way through
Don't I wish I knew better by now?
Well I think I'm starting to
When every line speaks the language of love
It never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I lost the line between right or wrong
I just want to find the place where I belong
(why should you know better by now
When you're old enough not to?
I wish I knew better by now
When I'm old enough not to)

7. _ Couldn't Cause Me Harm
Ooh, yeah, you know,
You couldn't cause me any harm.
Although, at times, I may get startled,
I'm not alarmed.
I can see your eyes
I know when they're telling me a truth
I can feel the heart,
Especially when it's on the roof
Of my mouth.
There's no right or wrong.
This isn't a test.
And I won't lose my experience.
I won't try
To put it aside.
But it's alright.
You know that it's alright.
's alright.
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be alright.
And if I told you,
Would you never know to guess?
Sure, what's the point
When little often means so much less.
I can see for miles.
I know when you're telling me a truth
I can feel my heart,
Especially now.
It's on the roof
Of my mouth
There's no right or wrong.
This isn't a gesture
And I don't use my experience.
I don't try
To let it go by
But it's alright.
You know that it's alright.
It's alright.
It's gonna be alright.

8. _ Live as You Dream
If there's something you wanna do,
You'll know when you've seen it through,
Yeah we live as we dream alone,
But that's not all you've ever known.
Stop look listen I can find you,
I've been standing right beside you,
You don't have to remind me,
I know an' I won't let go.
An' if you've taken me for someone who cares,
Then there's a dream I know we both have shared,
If I talked to you after all's been done,
I know we'll find home where ever we've gone,
You're not the only one.
But there's something I wanna show,
Though not sure that I should do,
So while we live all our dreams for free,
But that's not all they ever could be.
Stop look listen I can find you,
I've been standing right beside you,
You don't have to remind me,
I know an' I won't let go.
An' as I've taken you for someone who cares,
Then there's a dream I know we both have shared,
If you talk to me after what's been said,
Then I know there's a home where ever we live,
You're not the only one,
You're not the only one.
An' if you've taken me for someone who cares,
Then there's a dream I hope we both can share,
If I talk to you after what's been said,
Well you'll admit there's home where ever we live,
You're not the only one,
You're not the only one.
We live as we dream alone,
But that's not all we've shown,
We live as we dream alone,
An' that's not all we've known,
We live as we dream alone,
That's not all you've shown.

9. _ Devil Song
When the devil comes blowing through your door
You'll know there's trouble, and he's coming back for more
You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor
Or you better treat it so good it will never want for more
But looking back in retrospect
Did you ever really get what you'd expect?
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
You've been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
Devil was your angel, but it's not no more
The devil was your angel, when you weren't sure
Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors
Just to put a face to the voice which always home?
To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor
If I could treat it so good, I swear I'd never want for more
But when I found my peace
There was still mistakes
However painfully awaring every step I take
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
Well, I've been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure.
To travel as my angel there's always my witch
Gonna take you back down
I won't feel no shame
Till my dreams
Are my own again
Gonna take you right down, and I'll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own again
Here I am again
Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel there's always my witch
Maybe you're an angel, tried to remember you're an angel
Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure

10. _ She Cries Your Name
Falling from the western shore to find yourselves alone again,
Wondering where you have been, Your lonely voice calls
across the starlit coast, Reaching out to be seen.
[Chorus:]
She cries your name,
three times again,
She cries your name,
How long can this love remain.
Cut beneath the surface screen of what we say and what we
seem, Is a trick to be seen, She keeps crying out your name,
But her scream sound the same, How fickle fate can be.
[Chorus]
Birds that scream for territory can learn to sing
euphorically, Give him time an' he's real, And there's a
wasteland in your soul the burned out trees will leave you
cold, Living out an ideal.
[Chorus: x2]

11. _ Tangent
Lost myself in a tangent of words,
Can't decide what I've seen or heard,
Can not sleep for counting sheep,
How long does this river run deep,
How long does this river run deep.
Building a map in order to find,
What's not lost but left behind,
My instinct got bruised,
But I still see,
I was a victim I'll be no casualty.
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
It was just like coming home,
Coming home.
He said that you weave deadly tricks,
Come right back to the worldly hicks,
Stare it cold in dull surprise,
Spread evil to hell in every tear you cried,
Every tear you cried.
Building a map in order to find,
What's not lost but left behind,
I was a victim I'll be no casualty.
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Could be just like coming home,
Coming home.
Cut off my toes to spite my feet,
Drank your poison
Didn't taste too sweet,
Saw that heaven's in my mind,
It's there for me to find,
It's there for me to find.

13. _ Sweetest Decline
She weaves secrets in her hair
The whispers are not hers to share.
She's deep as a well.
She's deep as a well.
Another day wastes away,
And my heart sinks with the sun.
A new day's dawning,
And a new day has not yet begun.
So, anyway,
There I was,
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in the sweetest decline.
The sweetest decline.
Sober mind
What's the use in regrets
They're just things we haven't done yet.
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet.
Another day draws away,
And my heart sinks with the sun.
It's like catching snow on my tongue.
It's like catching snow on my tongue.
So, anyway,
There I was,
Just sitting on your porch
Drink in the sweetest decline.
The sweetest decline.
Sober mind
What are regrets?
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet.
It's like catching snow on your tongue.
You can't pin this butterfly down.
Can't pin this butterfly down.

14. _ Stars All Seem to Weep
Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger.
'Cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger.
I think about you on a moonlit night
And the stars all seem to weep.
When there's so much to lose
There's never any time for sleep.
Look at me doing all these things without you.
We always left a new world untrue.
Where was it we tried hard not to go to?
I think that's how I finally came through.
All the things we took for granted
The words still live on in my head
All the times I took for granted
All the words I never said.
I think about you in the moonlit night,
And the stars all seem to weep.
When there's so much love to give,
There's never any time for sleep, yeah.
So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And human life was all but left to hunger,
'Cause when I stray from the truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger.
Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger.
Living without you
Living without you.
Living without you, oh.

15. _ So Much More
It's another cold night,
I wrap this head around my shoulders, tight.
Please excuse me, seems there's someone at my door
I wouldn't leave, but the need is so much more.
So much more.
It's another cold day,
And I'm always walking down the escalator the up way
Please excuse me, I can't seem to get inside.
I only wanted to know if you're alive.
You're alive.
If you're alive
You're alive.
I can't see there's a ?
There's a feeling up there,
But I don't know what it is
Don't know what it means.
Don't know what it means.
So turn it into light
It always seems the further when the ends in sight.
Please excuse me, I just need to be outside.
Only looking for air to breathe.
Air to breathe.
I feel alive.
(I feel so alive, it's cold tonight.
I don't know how to live)
(don't know how to live)
Air to breathe.

16. _ Galaxy of Emptiness
The stars light the sky,
And a galaxy of emptiness tonight,
Though I happiest when there's no reason for me to be,
With no-ones expectation to weigh heavy on my heart,
And so much hope it sometimes tear me all apart,
Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile,
Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile.
The stars light a sky,
And a gutter full of broken dreams tonight,
Though I'm not content that's the way it seems to be,
Still I've been fighting all week,
Though I don't know who for,
Hoping someone else, somewhere near knows the score,
Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile,
Could you please knock me off my feet for awhile.
When there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight,
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight,
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight.
Monkey see, monkey do,
I spent my whole life surrounded by people like you,
With all that expectation to weigh heavy on your heart, And
No ideas to later tear it all apart, Won't you please knock
Me off my feet for awhile, Won't you please knock me off my
Feet for awhile.
When there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight,
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight,
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight.
Burn burn burn your soul to find,
Burn burn burn your soul away,
Burn your soul to find,
Your soul to find.

17. _ Love Like Laughter
Some of the worst wrongs
Get righted on three chords,
Like a promise,
Or a kiss goodbye.
When the sneer on your lips
Is the livest thing,
Just alive enough to die.
Open my heart,
In my heart there's something telling me
To open my heart.
Open my heart
Yeah, I've been blind,
And all that's been lost
Is a short loop running round my mind.
Love is like laughter
See it happen by chance,
Like a promise,
Be a kiss goodbye
When the smile on your lips
Is the livest thing
More alive than any sky I've seen.
I open my heart
In my heart is there's something telling me
To open my heart.
I open my heart,
See I've been blind,
And all that's been cut
Is a short loop running round my mind.
I open my heart
In my heart there's something telling me
To open my heart.
I open my heart,
See I've been blind,
And all that's been cut
Is a short loop running round my mind.
It's just running round my mind,
Running all the time.
Running all the time
It's a short loop
A short loop
Running round my mind

18. _ I Wish I Never Saw the Sunshine
Baby do you know what you did today?
Baby do you know what you took away?
You took the blue out of the sky
My whole life changed when you said goodbye
And I keep crying
Crying
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
I wish I never saw the sunshine
I wish I never saw the sunshine
And if I never saw the sunshine baby
Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain
Every day is just like the day before
All alone a million miles from shore
All of my dreams, I dreamed with you
Now they will die and never come true
And I keep crying
Crying
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
I wish I never saw the sunshine
I wish I never saw the sunshine
And if I never saw the sunshine baby
Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain
Oh, this pain
You know there would not be
This cloud that's over me
Everywhere I go
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
I wish I never saw the sunshine
I wish I never saw the sunshine
And if I never saw the sunshine baby
Then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain
Oh, this pain
I wouldn't mind the rain
There wouldn't be this pain
I wouldn't mind the rain
I wouldn't mind the rain

19. _ Touch Me with Your Love
I dreamed of you last night,
You had a different face,
Or maybe just a haircut,
You were older and wiser,
Yet more like a child,
I was amazed to still find you ,
There at the back of my mind,
This dream was short,
This dream was happy,
This dream was short,
This dream was happy.
Put your loving on a slow burner,
If you want to keep your loving warmer,
Put your loving on a slow simmer,
If it helps to keep a light from growing dimmer.
Hold on hold out,
You're still thrown against a wall,
Never looking to be picked up,
Or left alone to fall.
Can you touch me with your love,
Would I feel it if I trust enough,
Could it almost be a lust for life,
Would I feel it if I'd not known it by sight.
You could put it on a coal burner,
Deception never kept it any warmer,
The truth is cooking on a slow simmer,
A light still shining even when its dimmer,
Hold on hold out,
You're still thrown against a wall,
Never looking to be picked up,
Or left alone to fall.
Can you touch me with your love,
Would I feel it if I trust enough,
Could it almost be a lust for life,
Would I feel it if I'd not known it by sight.
Troubled waters locked so far down below,
Will have to find another place to go,
If the truth in my heart gets put aside,
Just let me go and wait for the next ride.
Hold on hold out,
I've been thrown against that wall,
Never wanted to be picked up,
And left alone to fall,
Then it touched me just like love,
Still feel it when I trust enough,
Could almost be a lust for life,
Still feel it though I'd not known it by sight,
Can feel it 'cos I know it's all right.
