Only Son

Romeo - she floated like a feather
Oh Romeo - she wasn't just a mother
Like Roman snows or ashes flung in aether
Romance knows when lovers come together
"O, where is Romeo? saw you him to-day?
Right glad I am he was not at this fray"
Lady! What have I done?
This was our only son
This was our little one so help me
This was our only son
Far omens chose two lovers in the heather
Your Roman nose - you could have been my brother
Romeo - I miss you more than ever
Oh Romeo - two Montagues together
"I would thou wert so happy by thy stay,
To hear true shrift. Come, madam, let's away."
Lady! What have I done?
This was our only son
This was our little one so help me
This was our only son
Only son
Only son
[so-low]
Oh lady! What have I done?
He was our only son
He was our little one so help me
He was my only son
Only son

You Weren't To Know

I'm only sleeping lightly
In someone elses clothes
The glasses on the headboard
I won't be moving those
You weren't to know
You weren't to know
How could you know if
Nobody told you
The china in the kitchen
I'm too afraid to use
The undiscovered pockets
The cupboard full of shoes
You weren't to know
You weren't to know
It's only polite
You were just asking
You weren't to know
You weren't to know
How could you know if
Nobody told you

Walter's unwell
Walter's unwell
He's a man with a plan
And the plan's going well
Walter's unwell
But how can you tell?
He sits up in bed
When his heart starts to swell
I don't ever wanna be
like Walter
He can never ever be
with Natalie
Heaven won't allow a nurse
to falter
Natalie!
So I don't ever wanna be
like Walter
Walter's unwell
Walter's unwell
He's a man with a plan
And its going too well
Oh Walter! Silver tongue!
Use your words and she's undone in Christ,
Charmed under your covers
Oh Walter! sponge-bath time,
She'd be putty it's no crime, "a horse!
a horse!" what if he recovers?
Walter's unwell
Walter's unwell
He's a man with a plan
And that plan's gone to hell
Gone!
Gone to hell!

I want to be alone now
Not saying goodbye not taking a bow
Hide in the bath with new headphones
How could we have ever known?
Glitter in the hair d-d-da-da
Glitter everywhere d-d-da-da
Taste it on your tongue d-d-da-da
A year of glitterlung
All of the world is waiting
All contemplating defenestrating
Maybe I'll drink some shiraz too
Then we have built a green igloo
Glitter in the hair d-d-da-da
Glitter everywhere d-d-da-da
Taste it on your tongue d-d-da-da
A year of glitterlung
Hating every day d-d-da-da
Clap the guilt away d-d-da-da
Götterdämmerung d-d-da-da
A year of glitterlung
I'll survive
not my time
No I won't die this time
Give it time
time will come
But I won't die of Glitterlung
Planes on the ground are waiting
Waiting until this thing's abating
Soon they'll be going places
Resuming chemtrail traces

This Ain't Fine
03:02

There's a kind of doll-eyed shark
that watches while you drown
Still not too proud for hunger -
he swallows you right down
And if they put your interests first...
...It's cos you live uptown
They're the kind of guys that want
your red as much as green
You pay it in by filling bags
behind an amber screen
The TV tells you this is fine
It's how it's always been
This ain't fine
It isn't real
a funny game
a double deal
You need a home
another meal
They're at the door so
break the seal
This ain't life
You barely live
It's always take
and never give
They'll chew you up
And spit you out
It's what they do
Make no mistake about it
There's a kind of lizard men
that help you to the ground
Not in it for the money -
will eat you when you're down
Always put their interests first...
...because they live uptown
They want to be a part of you
To step inside your head
They want to kill the middleman
But do not want him dead
A hundred years from now I fear
With nothing more to take
With only ruins in the sand
The sleepers need to wake
But will the sleepers wake?
This ain't fine
It isn't real
a funny game
a double deal
You need a home
another meal
We're at the gate so
break the seal
This ain't life
You barely live
It's always take
and never give
They'll chew you up
And spit you out
It's what they do
Make no mistake about it

Nine Lies
03:47

I've got eyes
I've got times and faces
I've got eyes
for you
Nine lies downwards
And nine lies down
I've got highs
I've got times and places
I've got highs
for you
I'm in your light
I know what's right
I see your light
I'm in your light
(He's in my mind)
I know what's right
(He needs what's right)
I see your light
(He's sinks the lie)

You're taking my life away
You're holding me down like you'll get a medal
You're taking my life away
Sing it
We are gonna make it out of heaven
Sing it
We are gonna make it out of heaven
