My Blood My Heart
04:48
|
|||
Fill my cup
Pour me out
On to the streets
Of this town
Drink from me
And wash your wounds
And swim inside me, nightly
By the light of the moon
Take my eyes
To see the world
And with my ears
Attend virtuous words
And use my skin
To keep you warm
For I did love you, all along
Yes all along
Chorus
I would give you my heart and my blood
And my bones and my heart and my blood and my heart
I would give you my heart and my blood
And my bones and my heart and my blood and my heart
My possessions
Spread them ‘round
My money
Use for things unfound
For there were no jewels
No arcane drawers
I was no queen
But I was yours
Yes I was yours
Chorus X 2
I would give you my heart and my blood
And my bones and my heart and my blood and my heart
I would give you my heart and my blood
And my bones and my heart and my blood and my heart
Life is short and I want you to
Fill it with your heart’s desire
You can make it look like anything you want, my love

Venus de Milo
03:54
|
|||
I feel your eyes marvelling
I know that you want to touch me
A borderline so cruel, unfair
Prevent your arms to ever sway me
I’m Venus de Milo in your mind
Broken by the hands of time
Half Chorus
Tear me apart
Smash me to bits
Kill me with your heart
Tear me apart love
I was cold, as cold as stone
An ice maiden sitting upon her throne
And with one glance, a single tear
Fell down my cheek and buried into the snow
I’m Venus de Milo in your mind
Broken by the hands of time
Chorus
Tear me apart
Smash me to bits
Kill me with your heart
Aching to feel
Anything real
Wound me with your art
Tear me apart love
I’ve learnt to run so fast
So as to not listen to all the voices that tell me to stop
I’ve been dodging darts
Like the arrows you’re shooting to find your way to my heart
Venus de Milo, in your mind
I’m broken by the hands of time
Chorus
Tear me apart
Smash me to bits
Kill me with your heart
Aching to feel
Anything real
Wound me with your art
Tear me apart
Smash me to bits
Kill me with your heart
Aching to feel
Anything real
Wound me with your art
Tear me apart love
Tear me apart love

All the King's Horses
03:24
|
|||
Send all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
For our hero has fallen off the crooked fence
He always picks himself up; always recompensed
So now we all just stand around talking to our friends (Oh)
Send all the king’s horses, his men and women too
I’ve never seen our hero unable to move
He always picks himself up; always follows through
So now we all just stand around not knowing what to do (Oh)
Chorus
Teach your children how to love
Teach your children how to love
One another, brother, father, mother…
Send all the kings horses, his cows and sheep abound
I cannot get our hero up from off the ground
He used to laugh and smile a lot but now won’t make a sound
How do you fix the one who fixes you - I don’t know how
Chorus
Teach your children how to love
Teach your children how to love
One another, brother, father, mother…
Oooooo…
Oooooo…
Hold everything that you love in your hands, in your hands
Everything that you love gently in, in your hands
Hold everything that you love in your hands, in your hands
Everything that you love gently in, in your hands
Chorus
Teach your children how to love
Teach your children how to love
One another, brother, father, mother…
You gotta pick yourself up so we can put you back to…
You gotta pick yourself up so we can put you back together
Mother, father

Tinkerbell (Down)
03:50
|
|||
Down Down Down Down…Way
Down Down Down Down…
I’ve been longing to stretch these aches and pains
But this bed grows smaller every day
My shoes don’t fit; my hair does not sit
Dead skin left from this incessant itch
Chorus
But I’ve been searching for a secret
Hiding in the shadows so I can keep it
I’m Peter Pan; I’m Tinkerbell
If anyone asks I’ve been doing swell
Flying high so no one knows I’m on the way down
Down Down Down Down…Way
Down Down Down Down…
I’ve been screaming into an empty void
For the insecure and the paranoid
My shoes don’t fit; my hair does not sit
Dead skin left from this incessant itch
Chorus
But I’ve been searching for a secret
Hiding in the shadows so I can keep it
I’m Peter Pan; I’m Tinkerbell
If anyone asks I’ve been doing swell
Flying high so no one knows I’m on the way down
Down Down Down Down
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Down Down Down Down Down Down Down….
Chorus
I’m Peter Pan; I’m Tinkerbell
If anyone asks I’ve been doing swell
Flying high so no one knows I’m on the way down
I’m Peter Pan; I’m Tinkerbell
If anyone asks I’ve been doing swell
Flying high so no one knows I’m on the way down
Down Down Down Down…Way
Down Down Down Down…Way Down.

Head in the Clouds
03:17
|
|||
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
We found each other
On the gold brick road
To seek something bigger
Than ever before
We were both lions
And tin men together
Longing to love and to live
And be brave enough to roar
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
But they say life’s what happens
When you’re making plans
To the beat of a drum
To the map in the sand
One must follow the voice
That calls out through the land
But must hear the one whispering softly
To hold out your hand
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
Now there will always be
An Emerald City
With Wizards and Witches
And magic galore
But there’s only one of
The thing that I love most
And I’m gunna love you
Forever and ever more…
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh) etc…
