[Lyrics]
Me coal, me coal-haired lady from the west,
I've given you, doll, me very best.
Been drunk so many times in your presence,
In my engine, you are the essence..
I've drunk my every penny + pounds
(?) my friends just to stay another round
Just to take another look at you
Me coal-haired lady -- Chartreuse
Pardon me, oh fathom me
What's your reason not to see me?
Pardon me, oh fathom me
You've no reason not to kiss me
I've sat and pondered crying
And wondered what you wear beneath your clothes
I've thought about your mother + the crows
That sit in the apple trees at the bottom of her gardens
Pardon me, oh fathom me
Tell me, what's your reason for not seeing me
Pardon me, oh fathom me
'Cause you've no reason for not kissing me
I've told my friends Chartreuse is your name
And that I have an infatuation
I want us to be a plural
I know a little place way out in the rural
You don't know what I'd do just to kiss
Your coward country lips
And not think about sex for a change
Chartreuse -- I think I love you
Pardon me, oh fathom me
What's your reason not to see me?
Pardon me, oh fathom me
What's your reason not to kiss me?
Pardon me, oh fathom me
Tell me, what's your reason for not seeing me
Pardon me, oh fathom me
'Cause you've no reason not to kiss me
kiss me
You're bringing me down
And you know I was high
You're making me feel
Like it's time to die
You know you're making me scared
And I know that life's a bitch
Now I'm looking in your eyes
And I'm telling you life's a cinch
I'm telling you life's a cinch
Life's just a cinch, so easy
Life's just a cinch
You row row row your boat
Gently down the stream, down the stream,
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is just a dream…
You there's a world
And they call it number 3
Can't you see we've the gold
And our life is just a dream, just a dream
I'm trying to show you how to live
I'm trying to show you how stand
I'm gonna show you how to fly
I'm gonna show you how to land
Gonna show you how to land
So why hang on to the bad times
When they're just bringing you down
Life's just a lifebuoy
No you're not gonna drown
No you're not gonna never ever ever 'cause
[Lyrics]
On a lonesome evening
When rain turns pavement black
I put you on a train
I'd never see you back again…..
'Cause you were leaving,
I couldn't fathom why
And the moon was a slice of lemon
In a Gin and tonic sky
Gin and tonic sky
Well I put you on a train
You should have heard the engine's laughter
Sayin' "I'm takin' her away and don't come running after"
You gave me one last cold kiss
Colder than steel
This would be the last time
And my tears were like vinegar burning in my eyes, burning in my eyes
Please swear you won't take her from me now……
And I always said train stations gave me a lonesome feeling
'Cause from someone somewhere they were stealing, stealing
Na na na na na,na na na
And to hear the trains arms a violently pumping
And a little ruby heart inside me a thumping,
I was my own man now, a soldier on a battle field,
A grain of sand on a gold dust beach,
A one man band with an empty open hand,
A one man band with an empty open hand
Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky,
Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky
Sky oh! gin and tonic sky
[Lyrics]
Well you may not see me when you come back
I could be sharing someone else's pillow
And my love for you is better than diamonds
To you everything I bestow
And tomorrow I'll be dancing on my own
And I'll need a kiss for my head that's aching
And I'll be a hungry dog without a bone
Hoping my place with you's not taken
Kiss me and tell me it's not broken
Kiss me and kiss me till I'm dead
See I'll give you the stars, from the bruised evenin' sky
And a crown of jewels for your head now
For your head now
And for your head now, and for your head
One last night in bed for a time
Two more wishes and both are for thine
And three guesses you're the angel's child
Four hopes that this love's not spoiled
And if you come back I'll take you to the garden
We'll dance to an orchestra on the lawn
And we roll in the foggy dew
And dance with the ghosts upon the dawn and on the dawn and on the dawn
Then you'll kiss me and tell me it's not broken
Kiss me and kiss me till I'm dead
See I give you the stars, from the bruised evenin' sky
And a crown of jewels for your head now
For your head now
And for your head now, for your head now
For your head now
Thanks for the stone, I feel it in my hand
And thanks to you for trying to understand
As I feel it in my hand I'm thinking about you
Standing on the seashore and your thoughts are far away
Seeing them sail off in the sea and seeing the ship sink
Well I wonder is there any room left on board for my troubles
I guess I could blow them away in bubbles but a bubble would burst
And so would you……….
Thanks for the stone
Thanks for the stone
Thanks for the stone, I roll it 'round my knuckles
Did it sleep on the seabed with the mussels and the cockles
As I lay on my bed, I drift into a dream
Sitting on the rocks naked, drenched by the splashing sea
Then I make a paper boat out of my song, sailing it free, sailing it free
We were sailing, sailing ,sailing, sailing, sailing
And then the Gods made love………….
Thanks for the stone and it I will keep
And thanks to you for swimming so deep
I can see you now sitting on the sand
With the stone alone,
Staring at the horizon, staring at the horizon
Thanks for the stone, thanks for the stone…………..
And how are they all in Springtown
Can you still drink the water that flows neath the sports park
Is there still apples in the castle to steal
And how does it feel to be stuck there
Does the monument still hold no statue
And are our names still framed on the pavement when we were ten
The world is getting smaller and wilder for me
But it's not wild enough to stop me remembering
See I want home, I want home, I want home
It's where I've buried all my bones
And is the trolley still sleeping at the bottom of the bridge we learnt to smoke on
And is Trisha still teasing the men
I swore one day I would steal her back
And do you remember when
we compared our manhood's at the scout dance
After we got kicked out of the cub's
Getting spins on the tennis court on St. Stephens night at the rugby club
Buried all my bones, buried all my heart
And is St. Brendan still beheaded and covered in pigeon shit
And do the still serve bread and cocoa at the boy's school
For the lads whose parents haven't got a bit
And are our names worn out on the pavement yet
That we wrote with the stick of an ice pop, pop, pop,
And is the pole still bent down on Main Street,
Under the sign that says 'stop'.
[Lyrics]
[Lyrics]
You'll never see me again
'Cause I'm going away
Somewhere I can be on my own, all alone
Where all is calm, see you took too much from me
And you left me wasted, you drank all my bloody wine
And you never even let me taste it
I'm going away somewhere I can be on my own
all alone, where all is calm
Here is my heart wrapped my soul
It doesn't matter if you wrapped it
'Cause it's sailing and it's gold
See a tree house somewhere in the sky
And that's where I'm going
Where somewhere is always
Yeah, and a beautiful blue breeze is blowing
And I'll be ok, and I'll be ok
be ok, be ok, be ok, be ok....
