1. _ Wages Day
There we stood and there we left
Outside the flashing neon sign
With the smell of cheap cigars
And the hope of sweet perfume
And his heart it was reeling
With the thrill of it all
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what i do
On wages day
On wages day
And the cap from disneyland
That his cousin she brought back
Stays open in his hand
From one week to another
And this long narrow land
Is full of possibility
All to do and only hours
He said all this is all yours
You can have it all
You can take it all away
From where we left off
Living it all your way
If you'll stand in my shoes
If you'll do what i do
On wages day
On wages day

2. _ Circus Lights
You're tired and you say you're angry
You're thankful for this blessed rain
And you think you'd know
But your old friends have to tell you again
Your books taught you all you know
Your tastes and patterns and your tv shows
But you can never follow where they won't let you go
Sometimes it's so hard to know
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus christmas lights
Your cares your misanthropy
Your distant gaze is missing me
And your jewellery that's what blinded me
From the reality
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus christmas lights
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
On this bright night
You want to display your charms
Over these circus christmas lights
Over the sea
Over the land and the city

3. _ Orphans
I now describe my country
As if to strangers
This train is full of songs
Of local winners
And the wind surrounds the towers
And the flags they are blowing
And the bunting and the distance
Stretches over our sound
And when he teases the children
He calls them orphans
And he cries for all the flowers
Of the forest
In his head there is no reason
To be sad about the garden
But his heart bleeds very often
For things forgotten like little orphans

4. _ Your Constant Heart
Your constant heart beats like the road
It cuts through the rain and clears the snow
And in our summer we take it slow
Letting the wind die in the hollow
Your constant heart
Now that the leaves are strewn on your constant path
Your feet won't stumble from your chosen task
Like the light above and the earth so red
Your constant heart never leaves me guessing
Your constant heart
I'm still excited by the good good night you bring
The long loud song you sing and the boom-boom beat that rings
From your constant heart that's my defence
The rich man's judge the poor man's friend
Your constant heart
Like the sky so strong like the trees so blown
Like the earth so warm like the clouds so ripped and torn
Your constant your constant heart your constant heart

5. _ Sad Loved Girl
He saw her trying on his old clothes
He watched herstretch and pull and tear
He said you're impatient as the wind
Your laugh is strong and right and scared she was the sad loved girl of the neighbourhood
He was the man that put happy over good
She was the sad loved girl of the neighbourhood
He was the man that put happy over good

6. _ Silhouette
Down in the streets they're walking and kissing
All he sees is the lights in her her eyes
She feels his hand and smells his warm breath
Looking up all she sees is the night sky
He saw her standing there alone
She saw him walking the whole town behind him
He loved to whisper gently to her
She heard the whole world shouting and screaming
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
He told her everything he wanted her to know
She showed him the big picture
He gave her beads and clothes and promises
She gave him golden strings and things that don't break down
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette
All she sees are the stars in the night sky
Looking down all he sees are the street lights in her eye
Oh since first we met
My dark sweet silhouette
Oh nothing nothing you forget
In your heart my dark my dark sweet silhouette

7. _ Love And Regret
Cold dawn won't comfort you
Cold coffee won't see you through
Cold sheets won't heal your heart
Your frozen fingers of your name so tarred
I know so rarely that things come your way
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Rings and letters they pass you by
You wish them well and seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You've known the times that you've lived and died
These sailors come by and spend time ashoe
Their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Outside in the morning air
I hear the soundtrack of the blues-harp player
It touches feelings that you don't arouse
Knocks me back to that shuttered house
Take me back when they're all out
Take me back to that shuttered house
I know so rarely that things come your way
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
Your mind's not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regret
Love and regret

8. _ Queen Of The New Year
You're so young
And you know so much
Heaven help us all
From the tales you tell
You're so old
And innocent as hell
How i love your questions
You queen of the new year
Oh you're so young
And you know so much
My mind's not made up
About the way forward
And now my heart
You know these things
My name fot you
Is queen of the new year
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the lights on me and him
All the stars in heaven are proud
As the lights on us go out
Now i'm telling you this
In a difficult year
You know your mother
She gave me problems
What am i gonna do
With your honest heart
The champion of love
The queen of the new year
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the lights on me and him
All the stars in heaven are proud
As the lights on us go out
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
All the stars in heaven go dim
To the champion of love
The queen of the new year
To the champion of love
The queen of the new year
To the champion of love
The queen of the new year
To the champion of love
The queen of the new year

9. _ Fergus Sings The Blues
Fergus sings the blues
In bars of twelve of less
I'm a stranger to the land
To this wilderness
All things are possible but happen less and less
This is my country these are my reasons
'cause i look in the mirror
And it throws back the question
And i whisper in words
That beg an answer
Tell me can this white man sing the blues
Homesick james my biggest influence
Tell my why james and bobby purify
I'm lost in music sweet soul music
This is my country these are my reasons
'cause i look in the mirror
And it throws back the question
And i whisper in words
That beg an answer
Tell me can this white man sing the blues
From the north coast to the uplands
Stay on the left side of the white lines
From the campsies over christmas
I still dream of memphis
'cause i look in the mirror
And it throws back the question
And i whisper in words
That beg an answer
I got the blue blue world
And i see the blue blue sky
I got the blue blue ocean
In my blue eye
So tell me can this white man sing the blues

10. _ One Hundred Things
Poorly - you're more than poorly jimmy
More than that worse than that
This is a case of photographs
Smudged and dropped and laughed at
Here's some things that came in post
Letters never sent but wrote
Shelves of books not opened
Browsed in and bored you unlocked things
That should have been fastened down
To be burned to be burned jimmy to be gone forever
So you're down town raking bins
Through carry-outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
So you're down town raking bins
Through carry-outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
Long night walking hills
Scratched and cut and bruised and hurt
With all your tension and your guilt
Stories of the berr and care and speed you spilled
Pleased at your speaking and worried by the content
About this love and this land and this firmament
Forgotten how to dream started just to scream
Forgotten to return to return jimmy to fight your way back
So you're down town raking bins
Through carry-outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here.
So you're down town raking bins
Through carry-outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
Tired well i'm tired too jimmy
More than that i'm angry at that
Well now that i'm finished
This small town world seems so moch bigger
Between jobs and flags and parliaments
But our small time world seems bigger
And maybe more worth fighting for
Maybe at the heart of things
They'll be clowns and we'll be kings
So you're down town raking bins
Through carry-outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here.
So you're down town raking bins
Through carry-outs and skins
To find the hundred things that led you here
Down town raking bins
Just to find the hundred things
Down town raking bins
Just to find the hundred things

11. _ Real Gone Kid
And i'd tear out the pages
That i've got in these books
Just to find you some words
Just to get some reward
And i'll show you all the photographs
That i ever got took
And i'll play you old 45s
That now mean nothing to me
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
I'll do what i should have did
Now i've stood on your shadow
And i've watched it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me
And let me know
About all the old 45s
And the paperback rooms
And it's scattered all the photographs
Of summers and suns
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
I'll do what i should have did
'cause you're a real gone kid
I cried and i craved
Hoped and i saved
And i put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs)
Cried and i craved
Hoped and i saved
And i put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs)
You're a real gone kid
And maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
Maybe now baby (maybe now baby)
I'll do what i should have did
'cause you're a real gone kid

12. _ This Changing Light
I wrote this once before
Long before the summer
You were then a student
And we were dark as angels
We were in the east
Working to the west
The west was looking south
And the south she had no pity
But last night i dreamed
And you were always in it
There were hopes and plans and schemes
And the town was full of winners
Oh brother oh sister
This changing light
Has lighted things so differently
Has lighted things so differently
I wrote this once before
And we were all then working
We thought we'd stop the flow
Of a cruel and heartless woman
If i'd known this then
What would these wings have done
They'd have beat and flapped and flown
And not done and not done
But last night i dreamed
And you were always in ti
There were hopes and plans and schemes
And the town was full of winners
Oh brother oh sister
This changing light
Has lighted things so differently
Has lighted things so differently
I wrote it on my hand
I kept it in the dark
I never ran it through my hair
I stuffed it in my pocket
I wrote this on a journey
All the way from spain
Where our fellows fought
And never came back again
To this changing light

13. _ The World Is Lit By Lightning
So maybe you're standing
In some foreign town
You've walked for miles
Till the heat slows you down
And your jeans and your curls
Are bleached and split
And your money and your anger
Are all used up
Maybe i'm sorry
About the light in this place
Makes my heart seem cold
As the words on these pages
Maybe i'm reminded
By a shop window display or a decoration
Like some church candle that might just burn
'cause we're dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you
Caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you
Why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
That i keep telling you that i love you
So you're ten miles out
Of this city at night
When do coloured lights
Become paint and glass and dust
And how i wonder
What light to trust
The light of the distance
Or the candle that might just burn
'cause we're dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you
Caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you
Why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
That i keep telling you that i love you
Seraphim and cherubim
Skies full of gold dust
Moonshine and starlight
Pockets full of rainbows
Windows and mirrored balls
Porcelain and silverlake
Dance hall neons flash and swing
Blow out your candles
It will call you angel
Angel
Angel
When the world knows your name
Dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you
Caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you
Why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
That i keep telling you that i love you
I love you
I love you
'cause we're dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you
Caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you
Why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
That i keep telling you that i love you
