Don't Move

[rev. Nov. 25, 2002]

(Roll)
The Church Discography
Holiday for two
Beautiful furniture
Powdered gun drifting up inside
Cretaceous man become just what I am
Now don't move, don't move
The Church Discography
Ooooh, don't move
Ooooh, don't move
The Church Discography
Composed of solid song, we get along
Distance crunching honchos with echo units
Sue me if you want, there's nothing left
Now don't move, don't move
The Church Discography
Now I mix it up with water like a sacrifice to slaughter
Take off your helmet, lay down your cable
Pick it up, earthshaker, Poseidon, heart-breaker
Don't move, don't move
The Church Discography
No neo-Henrik Ibsen with a prehistoric Gibson
Could begin to do what I have almost done
Now look into the sunset before the final credit
Don't move, don't move
The Church Discography
The miracles come falling, the miracles come crawling (Ooooh...)
I'm scared of something nasty, that no one can explain (Don't move)
Forget the memories dear, that I was ever here
Don't move, don't move

 

Traitor

[rev. Nov. 25, 2002]

I never understand why you put up your hand
And volunteered to play the company man
You wanna come back, you wanna have a crack
But the train is gone, it's never coming back
The Church Discography
You should have realized by the ominous sky
That destiny was dealing you a joker, old guy
Next time don't come, don't presume [0:52, 2:57, 3:41] you were something
You should've known better back [where] [0:54, 3:00] you came from
The Church Discography
Every little trend that comes around the bend
Carries you aloft and you're getting soft
Struggles and sports under halogen quartz
One eye on the meter, one eye in the mirror
Its all getting dearer, it's all getting clearer
Come in peace with a sheep to fleece
Lamb noisette says she won't forget
But she'll never remember if she is dismembered (laughter)
The Church Discography
Traitor
Traitor
Never understand
Traitor
The Church Discography
Feel so good
The Church Discography
Feel so good
Traitor
Never understand
Traitor
Traitor
The Church Discography
Traitor
Traitor
Feel so young
I feel so young
I feel so good
I feel like spring has sprung
Traitor
The Church Discography
Traitor
I feel so young

 

She Comes In Singing

(She comes in singing)
The Church Discography
You've got a lot of nerve
Gonna get what you deserve
You got around the curve
The Church Discography
You got a face like Raphael
You got a heart like a blue whale
And your heart is not for sale
The Church Discography
You got a mind like magazine
You got a taste like Florentine
And a lot that's in between
The Church Discography
(She comes in singing)

 

All See It Now

You shouldn't have to feel so frightened
And you just wanna feel enlightened baby, in front of you
Oh my what love can do
The Church Discography
You shouldn't have to hide in darkness
Its not such a good likeness baby, less of you
Oh yeah what love can do
The Church Discography
And we all see it now
The Church Discography
You talk a lot without a purpose
You walk around just like circus baby, is it true?
That's what love did to you
The Church Discography
You've got a friend who's very famous
I know you'd never ever shame us baby, but look at you
That's what fame can do
The Church Discography
And we all see it now
The Church Discography
You took a lot of people with you
And now you expect them to forgive you baby, you're not through
That's what it means to you
The Church Discography
And then you lie down on the sofa
You know you shouldn't really bother baby, I'm here too
That's what it does to you
The Church Discography
And we all see it now

 

Trying To Get In

{Voices shift throughout song: Left [L], Center [C], Right [R], and all around [All]}

[R] Curled in the warm winter sun
All alone number one
Gentle caramel melting dream
Things meant for something else
What else did you give to me?
What else did you give to me?
The Church Discography
[L] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in
[R] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in
[L] Mirror denies it, I can't wake up this morning
The Church Discography
[R] Curled in the cool summer moon  [C] Jungle meets the sorry ocean
[C] Loses himself in the chances that fortune has given him
[R] Seven hemisphere moon
[L] Loses himself in the chances that fortune has given him
The Church Discography
[R] Someone outside, they're trying to get in
[L] Mirror denies it, I can't wake up this morning
The Church Discography
[C & L - overlapping]
Oh Mr. Silver please come in
We've been sitting here waiting for you
Such a long, long time
The Church Discography
[R] None may dare to watch your grandeur, none may walk
[L] Moses by the seaside in 1974, listens to the music of the skyscraper carnivores
The Church Discography
[All] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in
The Church Discography
[L] Mirror denies it, I can't wake up this morning
The Church Discography
[R] Moses by the seaside in 1974, he's listening to the music of the skyscraper carnivores
[L] Somewhere in this wilderness you wander like a river
Crossing the wheat fields and crying to the sorry ocean
You're crying to the sorry ocean
The Church Discography
[R] Wrapped in the arms of the night
The Church Discography
[R] Somewhere in this wilderness you wander like a river
Crossing the wheat fields and crying to the sorry ocean
The Church Discography
[All] There's someone outside
The Church Discography
[All] There's someone outside, they're trying to get in

 

Florian Trout

Florian Trout was a distant boy, he lived in a very strange town
Where was he, you may well ask, when the widow's house burnt down
I've seen his face in windows, his voice upon the wind
I felt his hand on my shoulder
I felt like I had sinned
The Church Discography
Take your time, make your way
Watch your step, watch your step
The Church Discography
Searched for him in nightmares
I've been led through the dark
Postcards from a paradise with shadows and with sharks
In the furtive gestures, in the lightning's flash
Over static airways, detour around the crash
The Church Discography
Take your time, make your way
Watch your step, watch your step
The Church Discography
How deep is the deepest ocean
How high is the sky
You have love and sweet devotion
I wonder why can't I
The Church Discography
Florian Trout was a brilliant mind, gruesome in precision
Analytic like a knife, sharp like an incision
Blue and purple in the night, he goes about his business
Seldom even looking out into the silver distance
The Church Discography
Florian Trout was a distant boy, and he lived in a very strange town
Where was he, you may well ask, when the widow's house burnt down
I wonder how he feels right now when evening shades are falling
Lonely in his capsule with all of heaven calling

Who Is The One?

[Spoken as if through a telephone]
"...obliviously walked off all dreamy-eyed
Inconveniencing the rest of the group when they turned up late
Or, whatever, when everyone else was waiting to leave
And they were off like - looking around like 'Wow'
And that's what got everybody angry."
The Church Discography
Who's the one with the millionaire smoulder?
Who's the one with the atomic gun?
Who's the one with the vulture's shoulder?
Now tell me who is the one?
The Church Discography
Who's the one with the diplomat fetish?
Who's the one with the burnt out sun?
Who's the one with the doomsday message?
Now tell me who is the one?
The Church Discography
Who's the one with the multiple endings?
Who's the one when the race has begun?
Who's the one when the patent is pending?
Now tell me who is the one?
The Church Discography
Who's the one with the modified cortex?
Who's the one with the forbidden fun?
Who's the one with the whispering Semtex?
Now tell me who is the one?
The Church Discography
Now tell me who is the one?
You tell me who is the one?
Tell me who is the one?
The Church Discography
Who's the one with the millionaire smoulder?
Who's the one with the atomic gun?
You tell me who is the one?
The Church Discography
Who's the one with the pain in his face?
Tell me who is the one?
The Church Discography
Who is the one?

 

Get Over It

(Where can I get over it?)
(Where can I get over it?)
The Church Discography
Walking down the street, I'm walking down the street
People drift by and they dance a certain beat
I'm walking towards you with flower in my hand
One of these days you're gonna understand
The Church Discography
The lives fall away but the road goes on
I lose myself inside a song
Sing about the things that you've never had
It's funny how I'm happy when you're sad
The Church Discography
Where can I get over it?
Where can I get over it?

 

Take Your Place

These are the marks you made
You never meant to fade
They come in to take your place
And these are the stories I heard
Come back, a sad farewell
They come in to take your place
The Church Discography
But all of the treasure you saved
And none of the lives you lost
Will come in to take your place
And free are the days in May
But not one single moment
Will come in to take your place
The Church Discography
(Will come in to take your place)
Will come in to take your place
The Church Discography
(They come in to take your place)
They come in to take your place
(They come in to take your place)
The Church Discography
[Whispered]
You never been to faith
You never been to
You never

 

Towards Sleep

Trust her distant island cluster
Protecting her from intrusive themes
I know I really shouldn't trust her
She's looked at all my dreams
The Church Discography
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
The Church Discography
One of the sisters is a flight assistant
One of them is a plane
One of them is a typhoon
Never going back again
The Church Discography
One of their mothers was a mother lode
One of them was a mermaid
One of them was a long gone woman
Do you think that's funny?
The Church Discography
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling out there
Gotta get in deep
Before she goes to sleep
Dream about guitar
The Church Discography
Now she's hiding out in the distance somewhere
Gotta get in deep
The Church Discography
Now she's hiding out in the distance
Falling down towards sleep
Gotta get a little feeling instance
Gotta get in deep

 

The Moon And The Sea

The boat goes out, surrender yours
It could be any day
The fishermen shout, approaching storm
It's just like yesterday
Sometimes I can't tell what I'm doin' here
Am I supposed to be a clown or a buccaneer
From the vaguest clue to the faintest idea
A Roman holiday
The Church Discography
Surrender smiles, epiphany
It's almost every day
And the sea's in my bed
And the moon's in my head
The Church Discography
We live in a house upon the hill
Its just a mile away
We look out to sea
Dawn's early light
It chased the night away
Sometimes I can't tell if I'm you or me
Alone in this room with the moon and the sea
Listen to the space where she used to be
Another life away

 

Stop

[Spoken] Ok, stop it, stop...
The Church Discography
How long?
Long enough to know I don't know any more
How deep?
Deep inside a surging red rider
How far?
Far enough to see your shadow
How soon?
Soon this will all be gone, all be gone
The Church Discography
And why can't you stop it?
Now why can't you just stop?
The Church Discography
How near?
Nearly midnight in 1999's last party
How strange?
Stranger than fiction to the ear
How much?
Much more than I had ever hoped
How close?
Close enough to know that we were gone, we were gone
The Church Discography
And why can't you stop it?
And why can't you just stop?
The Church Discography
How... [Laughter]
[Spoken] Fine, stop, stop...
The Church Discography
How long?
How deep?
How far?
How soon?
The Church Discography
Wake up slowly
I've been sleeping four hundred years
All my memories
All my feelings
All disappeared
The Church Discography
Leave me gently
Hear me faintly
Then discard
Then discard
Discard
