The Fawn 04:57
All the good rhymes all the bad times Embedded within the wall Hilary wakes to find she makes no sense of it at all Oooo recent pain Mmmm runs to her again For she's a warm girl She's the fawn girl Getting caught again The face is on the traces gone And the wheels are rolling Bells are ringing Sunday singing The strangers are strolling Ooooo You don't feel so good Mmmmm you did the best you could For she's a warm girl She's the fawn girl Getting caught again So Hilary writes and the words alight With a tumbling motion She dreams of cliffs and the wild gull riffs To the rumbling ocean Oooooo it's taking her Mmmm that city's breaking her For she's a warm girl She's the fawn girl Getting caught again

Kent Lullaby 03:48
Kent Lullaby They showed me moving pictures On the news today People had come to Washington From far away Incense and the smell of anger Hung like a shroud across the lawn America They’ve finally come to find you The arguments they flew like arrows The words thy came from head and heart Those that mourned the fallen warriors And those the victims of the National Guard CS and M15s And the Panthers in amongst the flowers America They’ve finally come to find you What side you’re on, what class or colour Everybody says they’re doing their job So whether you’re a student or A member of the Teamsters mob There’s only one god, there’s only one truth Thou shalt not kill America’s youth They’ve finally come to find you America’s youth They’ve finally come to find you

Fable of the Wings He wore a suit of morning grey, not a thought did he betray And he moved inside the human tide at the end of his working day Off the train and up the road, stepping through the door To find his wife staring at him from across the floor She said a stranger came today, opened up a silver tray And he gave me pills to cure all ills, said I’d see things a different way Now my throat is tight, my heart’s a pounding and my limbs are weak Voices come from so far away that I can barely speak Well that night she dreamed strange things as her thoughts they turned in rings And to the dawn’s sky she gave a cry to discover she had grown wings Shocked she stared into the mirror in the morning gloom Stretched and watched the white wonder fill the tiny room Well she got up from her bed raised her wings above her head And red with shame she cried in vain “Oh I wish that I was dead” What will all the neighbours say the gossip that they speak And what will my children think when they see I am a freak And so soon there came the day for the last act of the play And the surgeon’s eyes still held some surprise at the job that before him lay Behind a mask someone looked at them and they gave sigh Wondered what it must be like to have the power to fly He wore a suit of morning grey not a thought did he betray And he moved inside the human tide at the end of his working day But for those trip and those who have to fall They find however many walls they build they offer no shelter at all
