Love And Saviours
03:44
|

Did a black cat cross your path?
Did your heart beat out in anger?
Is there silk wrapped round your painted cards?
Did you fall for that cruel, dark stranger?
Gypsy lover or sweet misfortune
Jump into the deep end
Dancing to the whims of love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours
Did you kiss that crystal ball?
Did you sign your name in poison?
Did you light that sacrificial fire?
Were your tears of blood and crimson?
Gypsy lover or sweet misfortune
Jump into the deep end
Dancing to the whims of love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours
Are there secrets that you're keeping to yourself?
Do the things you do seem strange?
Did you wish upon a star that fell out of the sky?
Does the heartache still remain?
Gypsy lover or sweet misfortune
Jump into the deep end
Dancing to the whims of love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours
Did you meet with men in black?
Did you cross that palm with silver?
Were your sacraments with bread and wine?
Did you drown in that private river?
Gypsy lover or sweet misfortune
Jump into the deep end
Dancing to the whims of love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours
Love and saviours

Will You Stay?
03:00
|

You know I'm in this room, this room is full of people
Some are full of prejudice and some are full of love
I hold your hand a while, you tell me that you're leaving
I close the door behind me, walk out to the dark
There are times I walk for hours and hours
They say this love is such a bitter fruit
Will you stay?
Will you stay this time?
Will you stay this time for me?
Will you stay?
Will you stay this time?
Will you stay this time for me?
And all those promises I made in my best interest
They lie broken on a cross I could not bear
I'll wipe the slate and use it for a different purpose
Make the words sound more like hope and not despair
There are times I walk for hours and hours
They say this love is such a bitter fruit
Will you stay?
Will you stay this time?
Will you stay this time for me?
Will you stay?
Will you stay this time?
Will you stay this time for me?
Black heart raven fly away
I never liked that tower anyway
And I have walked behind the ghost of desperation
Clutched at straws, knocked at doors I knew it always shut
I'll try lifting all the lids and raising every curtain
Question why some have everything and some have not
There are times I walk for hours and hours
They say this love is such a bitter fruit
Will you stay?
Will you stay this time?
Will you stay this time for me?
Will you stay?
Will you stay this time?
Will you stay this time for me?

The River's End
04:16
|

Plans and promises and paper dolls
And tigers burning bright
Watch the forests of the world
Feel the sleeplessness tonight
I dreamed I reached the river's end
I dreamed this bitterness would never come again
We read a lot, hear a lot, hide a lot
Chance a lot, hurt a lot, find a lot
The walls come down, the waters flow
The walls come down, people never change
I want to know, want to know why
I dreamed I reached the river's end
I dreamed this bitterness would never come again
The wind swept by with leaves about their faces
Strangled silence by the living and the dead
That in one small word, the gift of how to swim
Let it swim now, let it swim now
Television plays the images game
Sneaking out the back door they don't feel the shame
They get you when your hands are tied when you're open wide
They don't feel the pressure 'cause it's coming from their side
Ah don't believe the papers, don't believe in what they say
They get 'em and they take 'em and they lock 'em far away
It could be me it could be you, it could be any one of us
When you find the truth now who do you trust?
Who do you trust?
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
And I'm trying not to lose my head
I dreamed I reached the river's end
I dreamed this bitterness would never come a...
I dreamed I reached the river's end
I dreamed this bitterness would never come again

What Bitter Lies
03:04
|
|||
And they claim their victories
And they say that victory is sweet
And they wave their idiot flags
And they're throwing flowers on the street
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
Spoken when greed and anger fly
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
Don't believe the talking heads or listen to the spies
What bitter lies
And they build their monuments
And they lay their wreaths in tiny rows
And they paint their crosses white
And they dress their dead in scarlet robes
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies are spoken when greed and anger fly
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
Don't believe the talking heads or listen to the spies
What bitter lies
Big politician make a name for yourself
Or the world's going to make you a hero
'Cause people out there don't believe what you're saying
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies are spoken when greed and anger fly
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
Don't believe the talking heads or listen to the spies
What bitter lies
And they bring their mighty tanks
And they bring their bombers and their guns
And they hide behind their god
And they keep those bastards on the run
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies are spoken when greed and anger fly
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
Don't believe the talking heads or listen to the spies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
What bitter lies
When you make up your own mind and cover up your eyes
Looks like a cover up
