Jigsaw Puzzle 04:37

Out of the box and spread out across the table Here to find out the picture of this here fable Nobody knows how this shall come together No time like now I say to find out despite the weather I look around at an empty chair A bottle of wine and a glass to spare There are so many pieces lying on the floor They're all scrambled around I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you took a piece of me I feel like a jigsaw puzzle I have a part missing I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you stole a piece of me I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you took the heart out of me I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you stole a piece of me I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you took the heart out of me Come gather around as I tell the tale Of just how things should be Only so many pieces that I have to share This can’t go too much longer I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you took a piece of me I feel like a jigsaw puzzle I have a part missing I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you stole a piece of me I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you took the heart out of me yeah I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you stole a piece of me I feel like a jigsaw puzzle you took the heart out of me

Headlights 04:31
lyrics

With feelings of emptiness the darkness surrounds Aimlessly wandering I’m more lost than found Too scared to carry on must find someplace that I belong Standing here all alone no one to call my own And I’m thinking here that maybe this is just what I deserve Until your headlights shone on me so that I might see my way back home Standing here on the street the cold ground beneath my feet Silence it fills the air it’s eerie like something’s out there And I’m thinking here that maybe this is all I’ll ever be Until your headlights shone on me so that I could see my way back home Following headlights back home Following headlights don’t do it alone Following headlights back home now I see Following headlights don’t do it alone Dreams that are faded give way to this reality Aimlessly wandering with nowhere to go And I’m thinking here that maybe this is all I’ll ever do Until your headlights shone on me and now it’s plain to see my way back home Following headlights back home Following headlights don’t do it alone Following headlights back home now I see Following headlights don’t do it alone like me

Glacier 03:24
lyrics

Moonlit shadows like memories of yester-years Disappear while the waterway flows Gentle chorus of melodies and symphonies Disappear like the new morning breeze See the river how it flows into the sea Hear the cracking at the shore See the wattle birds feeding in the trees As the glacier disappears In the evening a mist it falls onto the leaves As they whisper up high in the air Simple living and innocence left to lament As surrounds change like clouds in the sky Feel the pressure drop a calm before the storm Seek shelter far and wide Like a potted plant upon the windowsill There is nowhere else to grow All the wildlife and magic in this world Hears the cracking at the shore See the river as it flows into the sea Feel the glacier disappear

CAPSlock 03:33
lyrics

Money makes the world go round if round means down into the ground Capitalistic economy consume entomb all for the boom Fair division comes naturally the system’s made for you and me Hoard it all and run away to save it for the end of days It looks like we are out of luck when no one even gives a buck Rack it up the massive debt the cheque to pay has not come yet Keep acquiring excess stock for that’s the aim stuck in caps lock Caps lock Caps lock

Becalmed 04:06
lyrics

I’ve become becalmed there is no wind up in my sail I can feel them watching from the sea I’ve become becalmed within a mist which hides all shadow I can hear the siren calling me Let me just take these layers off The water’s now calling me We’re dead in the water it’s time to swim ‘cos I’m gonna make it Dead in the water it’s time to swim ‘cos I wanna make it If it’s the last thing that I do I’ve become becalmed and now my quadrant’s lost all bearing Time to make a tribute to the sea I’ve become becalmed and now no longer am seafaring There’s no place safe left for me to hide I hear it down below the siren’s call Lurking there to snatch me when I fall Give me a paddle The water’s now calling me We’re dead in the water sink or swim I’m gonna make it We’re dead in the water sound the horn ‘cos I wanna make it If it’s the last thing that I do if it’s the last thing that I do

Most all around go to ground When I sail through Yet you come to me We can be paired if wanted We can both be complete You’ll take a share for helping I’ll get my shiny teeth We can be paired if wanted We can both be complete You’ll take a share for helping I’ll get my shiny teeth In the water In the teeth

I’m in a cavernous space below It’s so dark can hardly see Can feel them gnawing at my bones My one true hope’s you rescue me I don’t know if you can hear me But I know I’m not alone I’m sending up a flare I’m sending up a flare I’m sending up a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending up a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending up a flare I’ve drawn attention here to me Surrounded by enemies I will face them on my own Just long enough until you’re shown I don’t know if you can hear me But I know I’m not alone I’m sending up a flare I’m sending up a flare I’m sending up a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending up a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending a flare I’m sending up a flare

Deciduous and the Evergreen 03:41

I feel like I’m falling I just can not bear it I will stay right here so we can both share it Colours of autumn a cold disposition I will watch over with care this position But we are so different so why would you bother? Standing beside you would be my great honour Your splendour brings beauty and change with the seasons And you provide shelter even when it is freezin’ Our roots are the same we just have different names within this woodlot In our separate ways we’re both soakin’ up rays on this here blue dot Our roots are the same we just have different names within this woodlot In our separate ways we’re both soakin’ up rays on this here blue dot Our roots are the same we just have different names within this woodlot In our separate ways we’re both soakin’ up rays on this here blue dot Our roots are the same we just have different names within this woodlot In our separate ways we’re both soakin’ up rays on this here blue dot We will be oak-kay and we’ll make a lovely day Lets go out on a limb this is a good place for a swing Here we are lets grow be it rain hail sun or snow We’ll shelter fur and feather safe from any form of weather I will never leaf you and you’ll stick around for me Let’s not be quite as busy as a pollinating bee Our roots are the same we just have our different names We will always sympathise the way we photosynthesise yeah

Through a sea with fates entwined Leaving darkness behind New conscious thought now beckons forth Be free Spark new life at first light Spark of life at first light Through a sea with fates entwined Leaving darkness behind New conscious thought now beckons forth Free Dawn of a new age Our time is near Pass the baton move it forward Dawn of a new age Our time is near Pass the baton on Spark new life at first light Spark of life at first light Spark new life at first light Spark of life at first light

Don’t look at me I’m clueless you see Few answers I have I’m no sat-nav But we’re not lost out there And I am aware of just what makes you smile So let’s hang out for a while Don’t listen to me I’m on empty you see Refueling I need I’ll follow you lead But we’re not lost out there And you are aware of just what makes me smile So let’s hang out for a while And I want to say thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you now So here we are We have both been far Such views up ahead Together we tread But we’re not lost out there And we’re both aware of just what makes us smile So let's hang out for a while And give me a chance to once again say thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail no problem I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail no problem I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail no problem I said thank you For bringing me back from the edge of the rail no problem I said thank you now

Nothing Wasted Around Here 02:36
lyrics

I went to a dinner party with the first and last Humans that ever were to be The first provided berries and some fruits that they had found Growing up from the unnurtured ground The lifestyles of our ancestors living wild and free Growing up so naturally and living socially The first provided berries and some meat caught with a spear Said nothing is wasted around here I hosted my own dinner party with the first and last Humans that ever were to be I laid out lots of packages ripped off the shiny flare Thrown away without a thought or care The lifestyles of us current folk focused on the next Growing up far too quickly to live for social text I laid out lots of packages and stacked them up in tier Said some stuff does get wasted around here I went to a dinner party with the first and last Humans that ever were to be The last provided insects and some scraps that they had found Lying on the desolated ground The lifestyle of our legacy spread out distantly Living off a vibrant land remembered wistfully The last provided insects and some fish caught in a weir Said nothing is wasted around here
