Desert wind in a telephone box
Dial my numbers up
Picks my locks
Picks his kind
To go and mingle in my mind
The Church Discography
Here I am on the edge of every town
You read my fortunes up
You lead it down
Lead me to land
Let it run right through my hand
The Church Discography
And its nothing
Nothing you could know
Let it go
Nothing really that you could know
The Church Discography
Motel bar, the dirty sulky moon
Turn my head up
Let it all cocoon
Let it go
Nothing really we could know
The Church Discography
And its nothing
Nothing you could know
Let it go
Nothing really that you could know
On our way to crush the revolution
Camp by a lake in the blackened lands
Dealing out love and retribution
Dealing out the deadman's hand
We've all known the pain
And we're all gonna hurt again and again
The Church Discography
Empire's got you by the balls
And sleep keeps awake for the tear
And it's calling you
Pulling you back here
The Church Discography
On our way to crush a revolution
Lost in the caves of a used up place
Night comes down with all its implication
Something brushing against your face
And we've all known fear
And we're all gonna find more of it here
The Church Discography
Empire's got you by the balls
And you wish that you never appeared
And it's pulling you
Pulling you back here
The Church Discography
(Where are we)
The Church Discography
(Where are you)
The Church Discography
On the way to crush the revolution
Wilderness and its burning bush
The enemy seeks our dissolution
All he needs is a little push
And we've all known hurt
And we're all gonna find it here in this dirt
The Church Discography
Empire's got you by the balls
And war keeps drawing near
And it's pulling you
Pulling you back here

I got my hand on my heart
I got my heart on my mind (we've drifted apart)
I gotta jump on the clock
I gotta find me some time
The Church Discography
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
The Church Discography
You got your hands 'round my throat
You got your voice in my head (no matter what)
You better jump on the clock
You better watch where you tread
The Church Discography
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
The Church Discography
(gotta try so hard)
(gotta try so hard)
The Church Discography
They got their rationales
They had their winning streaks (it's never enough)
They better jump on the clock
They better count up their weeks
The Church Discography
Pangaea ahhh alright
Pangaea ahhh (gotta try so hard) together (gotta try so hard)
Pangaea ahhh (gotta find some time) ahhh (gotta find some time)

When the distant charge of love is felt [0:05]
And the fruit is heavy on the vine
Rivers rushing as the snow it melts
I should take some time
Really make you mine
The Church Discography
(??? [0:30] below) Happenstance
(??? [0:37] below) Such a charmer
The Church Discography
Like an extinguished star
You're gone yet still remain
And you've taken it so far
Return to outer space
The Church Discography
If I lay me beside you
Your golden hair frozen
The Church Discography
(??? [1:19] below) Happenstance
(??? [1:26] below) Such a charmer
The Church Discography
Close your eyes in the dark
And open up a door
You feel the energy arc
You're not here anymore
The Church Discography
When the honeyed days of love return
And the king is drunk upon his throne
City's empty and the crystal burnt
I should take some space
Be with you some place
The Church Discography
When the hopeless nights of love have gone
And the spirits are still within the trees
And we're running back to Albion
I should take some chance
Given happenstance
The Church Discography
(??? [3:41] below) Happenstance
(??? [3:48] below) Such a charmer

[rev. July 27, 2009]
My little lonely
She's my one and only
Oh the love just stone me
And I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Like a siphon or straw
Something to adore
On the fatal flaw
And I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Oh my little saviour
On her good behaviour
All herself she gave you
Now you can't let it go
The Church Discography
Like a needle or tack
When she's giving you back
And the stages go black
And you can't let it go
The Church Discography
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
And I gotta get out
The Church Discography
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
And I can't let it go
The Church Discography
My little heart
With a cosmic handshake
Hammer on till daybreak
I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Like a Zorro or zealot
Bite it just too feel it
She gonna reveal it
Then you can't let it go
The Church Discography
Oh my little wonder
Makes you stop to ponder
Makes me kind of fonder
I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Like I live and I learn
Like a Chinese burn
Just wait till you turn
I can't let it go
The Church Discography
I gotta get up
I gotta get on
I gotta get off
I gotta get out
The Church Discography
I gotta get up
I gotta get on
I gotta get off
And I can't let it go
The Church Discography
My little panda
I don't understand her
With her natural grandeur
I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Like a trick or tornado
No she ain't afraid
Nothing gets delayed
And she won't let it go
The Church Discography
My little golden
Her love and her holdin'
Only serves to embolden
And I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Like a fraction or flake
I do it all for her sake
I do it all for her sake
Then I can't let it go, no, no
The Church Discography
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
The Church Discography
And I gotta get up
And I gotta get on
And I gotta get off
But I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Can't let it go
It doesn't know
Cause I can't let it
I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Baby don't say no
Can't let it go
I can't let it go
The Church Discography
Can't let it go
Sunday disappears into a fog
Darkness invites us all inside
To hide amongst the lamplight radial glow
The Church Discography
Shadow in the pool
Winter in the wind
A message in the fallen leaves
The Church Discography
Cruise down to the plaza in your Merc
Never really know how or where to go
Blow me down you're outside a bank on Angel Street
The Church Discography
I arrive but never leave
You leave but never stay
It kind of reminds me of the salad days
The Church Discography
I saw your brother during lunch
I saw at once that he was lost and he was mad
He had been standing in the rain to get some snow
The Church Discography
But the snow it couldn't fall
The people all go home
And he just kind of stood there helplessly
The Church Discography
You should change the message on your machine
So sad, so strange baby to hear my name
Makes me cry when you say we're not at home
The Church Discography
And the line it just goes dead
And the trail it just goes cold
I guess that story's told anyway
I drowned in a river that had run dry
I drank a sea of gold
I shivered like a stone in the great unknown
Oh, not unknown but just untold
The Church Discography
I dreamed I saw the Minotaur
I dreamed I was his twin
It seemed I tore some kind of door
Because now he can get right back in
The Church Discography
And I don't wanna talk about it anymore
And if I have to do it again I'll give you what for
The Church Discography
I watched the sullen sun shrink
And the levee run out of steam
Eternity loomed in my garret room
I saw you once in some kind of dream
The Church Discography
I had a girl in the underworld
She was a spirited little thing
She was so cute, oh, you shoulda seen Pluto
She opened up her heart to sing
The Church Discography
And I don't want to talk about it anymore
And if I had to do it again I'll give you what for
The Church Discography
I ripped up my return ticket
I hurled it into the sky
I knelt down, I kissed the ground
I knew then it was your turn to fly
[rev. May 7, 2009]
Scales of an angel
Wings of a snake
Living here in the future
With the racket that you make
The Church Discography
Memory of a scream
Heart of the flame
Talking in a lark's tongue
And more of the same
The Church Discography
Green ice is on the melt
Just the way the dead have felt
Nothing like the way my name is spelt
But I belt it out anyway
The Church Discography
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
The Church Discography
Mouth of a river
The fingers of a flute
The trees get used for rifles
Growing lovely shoots
The Church Discography
Around the captain's table
The silent diners slept
In the whiteout/white of/white owl [1:43] morning
The distance slowly crept
The Church Discography
And the ice in my glass
And the hit of the past
And the great icy blast
I pass it on to you
The Church Discography
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
'thing is hurting me
The Church Discography
Words of a mute
The passion of a rock
Waking early on an Easter Sunday
Just before the cock
The Church Discography
The motion of a statue
The honour of a rat
The street was almost empty
But then you saw through that
The Church Discography
And the ice in the box
Falling off the shelf in blocks
Down at the docks
Well I was shocked not to be discovered
The Church Discography
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
The Church Discography
Strength of a lamb
The shape of a cloud
The eyes of the star
Cruelty of a crowd
The Church Discography
This afternoon is crushing down
The bars are all closed today lady
Middle of town is a long way down
I'd hate to see you break your crown
The Church Discography
And the ice in my drink
My drink in your lap
Just a process in a trap
I'll slap it out of you
Slap it out of you
The Church Discography
Music of the snow
Tempts the flake
Nature, you don't know
A nice delicious ache
The Church Discography
The conscience of a fox
Love about the size of a shoe box
The school of hard knocks
They box it out of me
The Church Discography
The ice in my throat
A message in the note
Just like a sinking boat
You coat yourself with sympathy
The Church Discography
Darkness returning
My torch keeps on burning for you
In the life you keep on spurning
Everything is hurting me
'thing is hurting me
All that it was was a fine-toothed comb
Only in on the night
All that it was was just one pound of flesh
And you didn't get it right
The Church Discography
All that it was was a cannibal buzz
Leading you on, day on day
All that it means was in old Paris scenes/an old pile of seams [1:21]
An old, sour Beaujolais
The Church Discography
All that it wore was a little brittle slip
Drooping right over my head
All that it says is there's nothing left to bless
All that it said is it's dead
[rev. June 16, 2009]
A song about you
Your inner song
Are you good or evil
Or just right or wrong
The Church Discography
Where's the boys all dressed in green
In the gap that lies between
Where's the girls all dressed in white
In the deep heart of the night
The Church Discography
Where's the men all dressed in black
None are ever coming back
Where's the men all dressed in black
Where's the ladies dressed in red
All are dancing with the dead
The Church Discography
Song about you
Just a song
Are you stranger still
Or do you belong
The Church Discography
Life is short (phosphorescent rim of the sun)
So don't be long (turn to face it as the comets come)
Use your free will (a cloudy blanket, a moving storm)
Or get trapped in a song (as love thaws)
The Church Discography
In summertime
Umbrella trees down by the sea
Limbs like men to bend low
You turn and you see me
The Church Discography
Music plays
Space between the notes full of haze
Piano, drums and trumpets
Just like the old days
The Church Discography
A song about you
You're in a song
Are you good or evil
Or just right or wrong
The Church Discography
In summertime
Picking up an insistent distant beat
Beachcomber come home now
Come in from the heat
The Church Discography
Interweaving leaves (where's the men all dressed in black)
Once she was a skeptic, twice she believes (none are ever coming back)
The wind that thinned and skinned us (where's the ladies dressed in red)
Underneath (all are dancing with the dead)
The Church Discography
(Where's the boys all dressed in green
In the gap that lies between
Where's the girls all dressed in white
In the deep heart of the night
Where's the men all dressed in black
None are ever coming back
Where's the ladies dressed in red
All are dancing with the dead)
Baby
I've fallen for you babe
I've fallen for you baby
I won't let you down
The Church Discography
Baby
I'm over the moon over you
I'm over the moon over you
I won't let you down
The Church Discography
You found your way here as if by a star
And people you meet might not know who you are
The world that surrounds you, strangers are far
And I'm over the moon
I'm over the moon over you, yeah
I'm over the moon over you
The Church Discography
Baby
I've fallen for you babe
I've fallen for you baby
I won't let you down
The Church Discography
Caring and sharing with all that you found
??? [2:31] but strong and your laugh's a great sound
When I'm away I miss you around
And I'm over the moon
I'm over the moon over you, yeah
I'm over the moon over you
The Church Discography
Baby
I've fallen for you babe
I've fallen for you baby
I won't let you down
The Church Discography
Eyes just so blue you can't help but charm
You walk around round [3:42] with an ages old calm
Your beat catches on when you pound on a drum
I'm over the moon
I'm over the moon over you, yeah
I'm over the moon over you
[rev. June 30, 2009]
It's just insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
The Church Discography
A time I live again
Is only pain in my head
And you can't let them take it if you're suicidal
And it's full of holes this holy bible
I need some recompense
The Church Discography
It's just insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
The Church Discography
The jailers hands turn sour
It's getting worse by the hour
And you know that solution's getting complicated
And I can't believe how long I've waited
The Church Discography
Can you get back to that other place
That we are now afraid to face
The Church Discography
It's insanity
The concept and the fee
The lunatics are free
The nightmares in my dream
The Church Discography
And it's inexcusable and unacceptable, out of character and incontestable
Poisonous, viscious and underhanded
And it surely can't be the way God planned it
And let's just admit that everything's random
And the riots that come, and then its hard to withstand them
It's totally insane
[rev. May 9, 2009]
I'm feeling uneasy
And I'm feeling weird
Everything's coming down the line
Exactly as I feared
The Church Discography
And nobody helps me
And nobody knows
Nobody left in this city with its...
Its hits and its blows
The Church Discography
And the first time the end appeared
I was skeptical like the rest
I marvelled as the markets fell
'Cause up till then I guess we've been blessed
The Church Discography
First the water
And then the earth
And then the air, yeah
For all it was worth
The Church Discography
The fire was subtle
It burned in your bones
It churned in your sea
And left you alone
The Church Discography
It was then that I noticed the stars
Dismayed to see them look so old and red
I was hidden as the animals roared
Watched it all from inside your head
The Church Discography
And nobody sees me
Now nobody cares
Nobody living in the city
With its graces and airs
The Church Discography
The fire was icy
It burned in your veins
It turned in your wake
Shot up your brain
The Church Discography
I'm feeling uncertain
I'm feeling exposed
I'm feeling there could be much, much more to this
Than I ever suppose
The Church Discography
When I think about afterlife
I become so confused
I shiver when I think of my friend
And I think what's the use
The Church Discography
Now we've gotta try, try, try
Gotta learn to say goodbye
Gotta spit right in your eye
And find some truth within this great lie
The Church Discography
Feeling I'm injured
I'm feeling so raw
Like some childish imbecile
Like some crashing bore
The Church Discography
The fire was distant
It burned without smoke
It learned to stand water
It stood up and spoke
The Church Discography
Feeling uneasy
Feeling weird
Everything coming down the line
Exactly as I feared
The Church Discography
In between the ether and the water line (I'm hearing voices, screams)
Down beside the engines as we ride and glide and churn inside (he didn't get you somewhere else [8:34])
And outside the reckless night, uncertainty delivered me (he wanted our spirits [8:43])
In between the cracks have all appeared (so that love may find us)
The Church Discography
[Indecipherable chanting 10:13 - 11:11]
The Church Discography
[Indecipherable words? 13:51 - 14:46]
The Church Discography
(Haven't seen her, should believe her, she'll be a living soul [15:31])
The Church Discography
(Haven't seen her, should believe her, she'll be a living soul [15:57])
The Church Discography
I don't want your spirit or your doubt
I don't want your deserts or your seas
I don't want the city or it's dreams
I just want to see you on your knees
