The Hunter
A heart explodes every second on the street
The weight of the world and it's heaven
They'll always be together
The line is drawn and a circle is born
Stop and stare at your heart, at your heart
Open for all to see, a lifetime, a history
Oh help me please, why look away?
Oh can we stay together?
Oh help me please, why look away?
Oh can we stay together?
'Cause I am the hunter now
And I won't hear your cries
So dry your eyes friend
We'll make a wish then say goodbye
'Cause I am the hunter now
And I won't hear your cries
So dry your eyes friend
We'll make a wish then say goodbye
A heart explodes every second on the street
A sister, a daughter, a lover
Who hopes they're not forgotten
You crossed the line and committed a crime
It was there from the start, from the start
Oceans of empathy, and now this is history
Oh help me please, why look away?
Oh can we stay together?
'Cause I am the hunter now
And I won't hear your cries
So dry your eyes friend
We'll make a wish then say goodbye
'Cause I am the hunter now
And I won't hear your cries
So dry your eyes friend
We'll make a wish then say goodbye.

We Are the Sea
Under pentangle star our eyes flicker light from the distanceLife is a sea to me so harvest all you need to make a difference
In the wild we are free, this is all that we're meant to be
Leave all your fear behind, it's a hundred times better
I promise you, I promise you
Believe with full hearts
Origins and new starts
In you there's something magical
Our eyes under the pentangle
Begin again, the distance free
Leave it all behind, we are the sea
I hear that home is calling
Oh Lord, won't you take me back to sea
Nothing can stop us now our eyes glitter pride and joy fever
Life is a sea to me so stand and face the wave that it delivers
In the wild we are free, this is all that we're meant to be
Leave all your fear behind, it's a thousand times better
I promise you, I promise you
Believe with full hearts
Origins and new starts
In you there's something magical
Our eyes under the pentangle
Begin again, the distance free
Leave it all behind, we are the sea
I hear that home is calling
Oh Lord, won't you take me back to sea.

Hearts on Fire
I heard you lost your wayMarching to the beat of a serpent
A fire burning your horizon
Beyond the barricade
Fallen but this black heart is fighting
The hand it was dealt by fate
I hear you now and don't let me down
Leave the darkness behind
Cast aside and don't look behind, only silence
Promises will be all we need through the dark days
Lying softly to ourselves
Always never felt so good
We're the power
Our hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Promises we always made when our hearts on fire.
Always never felt so good
We're the power
Our hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Promises we always made when our hearts on fire.
They looked the other way
And now you don't even recognize them
Bound by a code of silence
So keep your enemies at bay
Marching to the beat of a serpent
Too close for comfort's sake
Always never felt so good
We're the power
Our hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Promises we always made when our hearts on fire.
Always never felt so good
We're the power
Our hearts on fire, hearts on fire
Promises we always made when our hearts on fire.

Violet Affair
Melt my heartWith summer in December for a while
Turnaround, take me back to the summertime
When you gave me violets
I pinned them in my hair
The scent, dizzy it fills the air
You gave me violets
I'll press them in my heart
We're unbound and free falling
Winter, spring, then summer falls
We're falling into this violet affair
Tempt my heart
July was so completely unparalleled
I know I'll never feel like that summertime
When you gave me violets
I pinned them in my hair
The scent, dizzy it fills the air
You gave me violets
I'll press them in my heart
We're unbound and free falling
Winter, spring, then summer falls
We're falling into this violet affair.

The Wind Breezes On
Well I got a secretHe told me it was sacred
Kick off your shoes and lay back
Today's not the day to show the cracks
Lift your head up, hold it now
Remember what the others say
Fear of the future's much too loud
What's there for you won't go running away
The wind breezes on
Like thoughts I can't rely on
The birds sing their song
While I figure out where I went wrong
I heard the others say
And watched them with their worry
Then turned and walked away
The wind it breezes on
I'll hold my breath so tightly
And run till it's OK.

Sugarland
Do you ever hold the flame?Leave a light on
Will we recall their names?
Leave a light on
Deserter frequencies
There's no escape
Did we forget about fatality?
Where the wheels keep turning
In sugarland
We've lost control in all this urgency
And the fires keep burning
In sugarland
Our voyeurism won't ever set us free
A state emergency, not for you or me
Did we forget about fatality?
Where the wheels keep turning
In sugarland
We've lost control in all this urgency
And the fires keep burning
In sugarland
(Come to me, why won't you come to me?)
(A blackened heart, a blackened heart).

High Road
I hit the high roadRunning till the batteries empty
A minefield of hope, but I'm ready
Ready to fly the nest or maybe fail the test
Let's make a date, take a chance, talk about it
An Olympian feat, I don't doubt it
Round and round he said to me
"Do you believe in love or rock n roll?"
"Do you believe in love or have you sold your soul?"
"Do you believe in love or rock n roll?"
"And which will be your downfall"
Be my baby, be my baby tonight
Be the boy that knows me but who never owes me
Saving all my best for you yet
And I need you now we're out of time
Be my baby tonight
Miles and miles but all the while
Won't you be my baby
Be my baby tonight
I'm not a fighter
Transparency's always apparent
But I'm always prepared for a torrent
Of tales and tests built only to impress
I'll take a chance, make a date, talk about it
With you if you think you are ready
Ready to fly the nest or maybe pass the test
Be my baby, be my baby tonight
Be the boy that knows me but who never owes me
Saving all my best for you yet
And I need you now we're out of time
Be my baby tonight
Miles and miles but all the while
Won't you be my baby
Be my baby tonight
I'm sorry if I let you down
You know that I can't give you up
And you said to me
"Do you believe in love or rock n roll?"
"Do you believe in love or have you sold your soul?"
"Do you believe in love or rock n roll?"
"And which will be your downfall?"

Laura
Laura, she was taken at the midnight hourFull moon shining, lighting up the sky
No streetlights for guidance or warnings
When the eagle lands
Blood on our hands
Blood on our hands
Follow her, oh Laura
Her path gleams with rainwater
And foxes saunter, listening at their dens
The bats cry in despair till darkness ends
Under moonlit sky
Her jet black hair
Her jet black hair
And I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
And I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
Lost her in time and some other place
I remember when, back in '98
Lost her in time and some other place
Where Laura lies, now it's too late
Noone knows, noone knows
I'll wait for you where the horses run
But I'll never know where you have gone
I'll wait for you where the horses run
But I'll never know where you have gone
Noone knows, noone knows
And I wanna go where wild horses run
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses run
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
Laura, oh Laura I love you.

Submariner
Your tired eyesLeave me to the wilderness, leave me to the lions
And I see you there with the sun in your hand and the wind in your hair
A sorry man now the glory's gone
For you, for you,
He did it all for you
And your selfless pride
Bottled in a submarine
Leave it to the ocean
And I hold your hand
Sending shivers right down to the base of my spine
A lonely man, he's the only man
Who did it all
Who did it all for you
And you sold your soul to the deep blue sea
A submariner whose cool heart could never be free
Let him drift out on the tide
And you saved your heart for the deep blue sea
A submariner who promised to make you believe
That you'll never be apart
Your final reprise
Sail out on the heady seas
To salute devotion
And I see you there with the sun in your hand and the wind in your hair
A stoic man
A heroic man
Who did it all
Who did it all for you
And you sold your soul to the deep blue sea
A submariner whose cool heart could never be free
Let him drift out on the tide
And you saved your heart for the deep blue sea
A submariner who promised to make you believe
That you'll never be apart
And you sold your soul to the deep blue sea
A submariner whose cool heart could never be free
Let him drift out on the tide
And you saved your heart for the deep blue sea
A submariner who promised to make you believe
That you'll never be apart.

Gold
I fantasizeYou and I, screaming just to make them go faster
I shut my eyes
The two of us, running till we're out of laughter
You're gold to me
Our light is fading
What's the use in crying
You know I'll always be there waiting
Softly now, reach out and make your pillow in my chest
From the playground of dreams
Where I don't mourn you anymore
You carved your name in my heart
So I can't break free from my past
And take a look at me now
Do you recognize me?
Long way from home
On a journey that I must make on my own
Through the playground of dreams
A shadow dancing all alone
You carved your name in my heart
Each initial etched so it would hurt
And take a look at me now
Do you recognize me?
I'm paralyzed
Broken ties, burned by our lack of answers
I shut my eyes
The two of us, running till we're out of laughter
You're gold to me
Our light is fading
What's the use in crying
You know I'll always be there waiting
Softly now, reach out and make your pillow in my chest
From the playground of dreams
Where I don't mourn you anymore
You carved your name in my heart
So I can't break free from my past
And take a look at me now
Do you recognize me?
Softly, softly now
Paint the town
A crystal world where we were born
A vision built to last
So please don't deny me
You carved your name in my heart
Each initial etched so it would hurt
And take a look at me now
Do you recognize me?

Strange Words and Weird Wars
Alphabet Block
Quick-fire, I'm on time, you're ahead of scheduleBlue walls, propaganda mixed with scare stories
Straight lines, colour coded, lead the way to a dead end waiting room
Machines throb, we're fluorescent in buzzing lights
These corridors smell so strange in this alphabet block I'm in
Fear and loathing, and wondering
Alphabet block
Holding on, holding on
Everybody's the same when it matters
Holding on, we're holding on
Hold my hand, don't let me go
Run, run, we won't waste a second,
A second you're out of time,
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
Run, run, we won't waste a second,
A second you're out of time,
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
Cigarettes litter ground, medieval houses
All the cars, bumper to bumper, not enough space
Break it down and resign to the fact that there are no promises here
drink this down, swallow hard, don't ask questions, right?
Just turn around, wait a week, til the alphabet block is done
Fear and loathing, still wondering
Alphabet block
Holding on, holding on
Everybody's the same when it matters
Holding on, we're holding on
Hold my hand, don't let me go
Run, run, we won't waste a second,
A second you're out of time,
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
Run, run, we won't waste a second,
A second you're out of time,
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
A softly spoken voice gives a choice
But I'm not ready to make a decision (solitary soul)
'Cause I need you with your warm advice
Won't hesitate, won't pay the price
All I ask of you: Can we just run
Run, we won't waste a second,
A second you're out of time,
You might find, when you're on alphabet block
Run, run, we won't waste a second,
A second you're out of time,
You might find, when you're on alphabet block

Bloom
You broke down the telephoneI was calling
A head so full of sorrow
Beggin' you baby, don't
Stop believing
Never forget our winter of discontent
When snow was not our friend
Beggin' you baby, don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Believing
Oh oh, I'm in trouble again
We're an island battleground
Oh oh, I'm in trouble a, I'm in trouble again
Oh oh, I'm in trouble again
In a no-man's land we'll bloom
Oh oh, I'm in trouble a, I'm in trouble again
The old town, familiar souls
Time is stalling
A bitter taste to swallow
Beggin' you baby, don't stop believing
Never forget our winter of discontent
When snow was not our friend
Beggin' you baby, don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Believing
Oh oh, I'm in trouble again
We're an island battleground
Oh oh, I'm in trouble a, I'm in trouble again
Oh oh, I'm in trouble again
In a no-man's land we'll bloom
Oh oh, I'm in trouble a, I'm in trouble again
A kiss so fond
Our love is blue
The time is now
I'm ready to fight for you
Oh baby I'm beggin' you
Oh oh, I'm in trouble again
We're an island battleground
Oh oh, I'm in trouble a, I'm in trouble again
Oh oh, I'm in trouble again
In a no-man's land we'll bloom
Oh oh, I'm in trouble a, I'm in trouble again

G.I.R.L.S
Frustration dripping from their eyesTongues a waggin' when she walks by
And I'm so in awe of you baby
They're in love with you (we're all human)
Crossing sides to glimpse a picture of a girl
A girl on fire, honey
Jealousy aside, we're only human
Girl, a girl on fire, honey
Feel the love inside (We're only human)
A girl on fire in my neighbourhood
She's got the whole place loving
her the way they should now
A girl on fire in my neighbourhood
She'll cross divides and unite us
Like the way we should now
Gotta start a fire if we're ever gonna learn
Burn burn burn, burn burn burn, burn burn burn
G.I.R.L.S.
Gotta get myself a girl on fire
Gotta start a fire if we're ever gonna learn
Burn burn burn, burn burn burn, burn burn burn
G.I.R.L.S.
Gotta get myself one of the girls.
Intoxication from her stride
The kids keep boasting that she's alright
And I'm so in awe of you baby
They're in love with you (we're all human)
Crossing sides to glimpse a picture of a girl
A girl on fire, honey
Jealousy aside, we're only human
Girl, a girl on fire, honey
Feel the love inside (We're only human)
Gotta start a fire if we're ever gonna learn
Burn burn burn, burn burn burn, burn burn burn
G.I.R.L.S.
Gotta get myself a girl on fire
Gotta start a fire if we're ever gonna learn
Burn burn burn, burn burn burn, burn burn burn

Gotta get myself one of the girls

Electric Youth
A story of us unfoldsI stand arrested, my education strewn
A girl and a boy, a guilty pleasure
Plain to see that you're taking over me
So hurt me
I can't even help myself
Hey now, hey now, boy
I am your water now
Hey now, hey now, boy
I am your water now
When the nights are calling
Animal instinct always
Young blood cursing violent flames
When the nights are calling
Signals pulse like we're electric youth
When the nights are calling you
A girl and a boy, just fun,
No conversation
No complications here
Dark corners were made for dirty secrets
Work your way into my psyche and hurt me
I'm my own worst enemy
Hey now, hey now, boy
I am your water now
Hey now, hey now, boy
I am your water now
When the nights are calling
Animal instinct always
Young blood cursing violent flames
When the nights are calling
Signals pulse like we're electric youth
When the nights are calling you
When the nights are calling
When the nights are calling
When the nights are calling you

A Girl Walks Alone at Night
A girl walks home alone at nightA girl walks home alone at night
She doesn't think or feel tonight
Oh, like it's the best day of her life
The stage is set, bright lights are driving her on
Stranger's eyes, why do you wanna hurt me?
I'm not ready for broken dreams you deliver
My emergency
Cold, alone, black bangs cling to my wet skin
For all I've known and all I've been
All I could be
A girl walks home alone at night
A girl walks home alone at night
A girl walks home alone at night
Her friends have long been kissed goodnight
No, no one to keep you safe and sound
The bridge ahead, a talisman to fight for
Stranger's eyes, why do you wanna hurt me?
I'm not ready for broken dreams you deliver
My emergency
A girl walks home alone at night
Black and gold blur, can't find my way home
I'll keep the path and take my chance
Don't follow me
A girl walks home alone at night

Lost Maps
I see no empathy, bitter warnings, and liesWe are just ordinary people
Get on your knees and pray, I say
Whatcha gonna do, where are you gonna go
When the darkness closes on you
Is there anybody out there looking for you?
Do they know what you've been through?
Gotta find the time, search the silence,
Open up our minds, survival's not a crime
Is there anybody out there speaking the truth?
Don't believe what they tell you
A sly epidemic terrorizing our lives
No moral compass geography, we are lost maps today, I say
Whatcha gonna do, where are you gonna go
When the darkness closes on you
Is there anybody out there looking for you?
Do they know what you've been through?
Gotta find the time, search the silence,
Open up our minds, survival's not a crime
Is there anybody out there speaking the truth?
Don't believe what they tell you
Whatcha gonna do, where are you gonna go
When the darkness closes on you
Is there anybody out there looking for you?
Do they know what you've been through?
Gotta find the time, search the silence,
Open up our minds, survival's not a crime
Is there anybody out there speaking the truth?
Don't believe what they tell you

Summer Boys
Lay your blankets on the groundGlitter falling from our eyes
Lips curling into smiles
Summer freckles come alive
Masquerading from the light
Mills and boons by our side
Over pools of pale midnight
Reflections dance and fight
And we are the runaways, runaways
Summer girls, summer days
Young and bold all out for fun
Remember them, those summer boys
We wanted just as friends
Getting high on their scent
The endless days of waterfalls
And drowning in their eyes
Summer boys, our heroes
Dark sunglasses close at hand
Second glances all the plan
Our web was slowly spun
Bathing suits rolled underarm
Ready for those summer guys
They let us walk right in
Summer girls rule on their own
Oh, we are the runaways
We'll take it on the run again
Run again, run again, run again
Darlings of those summer days
Remember them, those summer boys
We wanted just as friends
Getting high on their scent
The endless days of waterfalls
And drowning in their eyes
Summer boys, our heroes
Summer boys... Remember them...

Little Knives
I am, I am,Wrecked now, wrecked now
I am, I am,
Wrecked now, wrecked now
Skin and bone
A relic, battle scars
Little knives
Hollow frame
Passion you're not the blame
But something's breaking...
I am the body, I'm the guardian
Bruise me and beat me with your wicked tongue
Lay down your fists and push those arms aside
And all that we're left with are those little knives
Stop talking, change the frequency baby
My satellite heart's come alive, I can breathe in
Time won't heal, memories are a flesh wound
But I am the blood and I'm keeping positive
A cartoon cutout when my back's turned
Keep it together when I, when I have no words
Oh your love, your little knives
(Little knives)
I am, I am,
Wrecked now, wrecked now

Wrecked now, wrecked now

Invisible Girl
I waited all those yearsLost heart to souvenirs
They're not a picture of you, nothing's fair
But I am old enough to know better
Whatever, I can't fight it
Fighting's not my game
So I'll remain an invisible girl
Why won't you wake up I'm by your side
Notice me an invisible girl
Why won't you wake up, I'm by your side
Notice me an invisible girl
Take me all in with your wild eyes
When I was dreaming, I was dreaming of...
You and I will never be one
We're just a little too far apart
Too far too distant
Always on the outside (I can't be)
Born to be the outside
Silently slide back to the shadows
Where this heavy heart will regroup
This heavy heart won't give it up
Regret's my greatest fear
A restless love affair
Always wanting more
But I was not clear
So let me tell you now that I'm older
Stronger and in control
A confident lover
Be it too late
Your invisible girl

Heartbreak Kid
Cool isolation where autumn sings the winter bluesNothing but strange words and weird wars
It happens but once a year
Do you ever feel like you have lost your mind? But I'm OK
And on and on I'll go
And on and on and on I'll go
We don't have to worry now, the ghosts will never find us here
We'll keep on running now, and do it all again
You are my heartbreak kid
They say I'm the lucky one, but lucky doesn't know my name
I've known pain
I'm with the heartbreak kid
Sweet resolutions like weapons, dangerous desires
Can't see the woods for the trees
A poisonous paradise
If you ever feel like you have lost your mind, I'll have mercy
And on and on I'll go
And on and on and on I'll go
We don't have to worry now, the ghosts will never find us here
We'll keep on running now, and do it all again
You are my heartbreak kid
They say I'm the lucky one, but lucky doesn't know my name
I've known pain
I'm with the heartbreak kid
These strange words and weird wars are coming
A tree of buoys, a red road, our guide from the past
We'll be OK if we keep running
On frozen ground, no guts no glory
We don't have to worry now, the ghosts will never find us here
We'll keep on running now, and do it all again
You are my heartbreak kid
They say I'm the lucky one, but lucky doesn't know my name
I've known pain
I'm with the heartbreak kid

Sweet Dreams
[Collaboration with RM Hubbert]How many times
Have I've fallen for the best of them
The lies when I mistook you for a friend
So many times
I'll be your honest girl,
I'll be your honest girl
Am I the devil, am I the worst?
Have I got what I deserve?
And I can see
I'm not the only one
The only one you have to run to.
So give me all, so give me all your,
sweet dreams,
Your sweet dreams,
Your sweet dreams,
Your sweet, sweet dreams.
These dreams are mine,
They are mine to stop the blood
And hurt, the thorns I hide
As I grow more distant
Forever blind
Do we get what we deserve
Honesty's overrated.
I don't what I am waiting for
If I can be the only one I'll run
I'll run where my dreams cannot find me.
So give me all, so give me all your,
sweet dreams,
Your sweet dreams,
Your sweet dreams.
