Track Name: Morning Lane
Tesco’s lights shine bright tonight
And I can’t get no sleep
The moon shines so bright tonight
And I can’t get no sleep
The railway rattles and rolls tonight
And I can’t get no sleep
Miss Bermondsey shot down tonight
And I can’t get no sleep

Ask The Barber
Ask The Baker
Ask the people
And their maker

Miss Bermondsey shot down tonight
And I can’t get no sleep

By the headstone
By the flowers
By the priest
And the Mourners

Miss Beromdsey shot down tonight
And I can’t get no sleep
Track Name: Different Drum
You’re waiting like a lover
Shy behind a head of hair
Shy behind a head of hair
No need to be shy!
You know a feverish dog will die
If you don’t feed its curse
If you don’t feed its curse
And in your room when you’re on your own
In many shapes and shades of grey
Many shapes and shades of grey

There’s a bird in your ear
Singing a different song to what we all hear
You’re trying not to appear
To be dancing to a different drum


And the Russian Gamayan
Tells your fortune
Like it’s any other
Like it’s any other
And if you resolve to remain unsolved
You wont be invited
You wont be invited

There’s a bird in your ear
Singing a different song to what we all hear
You’re trying not to appear
To be dancing to a different drum

(Outro)
Track Name: Bakery
In the Bakery Simon does a terrible thing
Bumps a woman on the head with a rolling pin
Didn’t mean to maker her die
He just wanted before her in the line

Cops came unimpressed
Saw the woman lying on the floor in a floral dress
Turned to the crowd to account for the crime
All they saw was Simon standing in the line

(And the People said)
I’m certain this crime was committed by another kind
Yeah I’m certain this kind is not a friend of mine
I’m certain this crime was committed by another kind
Yeah I’m certain this kind is not a friend of mine

They looked Simon up and down
And couldn’t believe a man buttoned from toe to crown could
lift a rolling pin in the air
And deliver a blow that could wake a dragon in its lair

The baker left his post to vote among the crowd
That Simon was a well-dressed man who couldn’t hold a fork
In his right hand

(And the cops said)
I’m certain this crime was committed by another kind
Yeah I’m certain this kind is not a friend of mine
I’m certain this crime was committed by another kind
Yeah I’m certain this kind is not a friend of mine

Reporter gathered what he could with a pen and notebook
That the woman lying on the floor took
And unfortunate fall
And didn’t make it to the counter at all

(As the Judge said)
I’m certain this crime was committed by another kind
Yeah I’m certain this kind is not a friend of mine
I’m certain this crime was committed by another kind
Yeah I’m certain this kind is not a friend of mine
Track Name: Kingdom Come
And he said:
‘Fare thee well’
(I hate my self)
‘Take my sword dipped in grief
Shallow is my journey’

Kingdom come
When will this brawl be done?
When will it be over?

If you’re near
You’d comfort me
And I’d comfort you
What’s this world
Without the heart?
That I see in you

Kingdom come
When will this brawl be done?
When will it be over?

I would float
Like you tell me to
If it wasn’t for my skin
It holds me down
And I’m waiting till
This feelings over

Kingdom come
When will this brawl be done?
When will it be over?

And he said:
“Fair thee well”
(I hate myself)
Track Name: Honey When You're Gone
There are countless miles to travel
I’m a thousand miles from home
Beyond this bedrock there are mountains
I can’t walk over them alone

I know, you can’t see me
You’ve been gone so long
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing

Well I’m tired of kneeling
With my palms against the floor
I just want to be able to stand up
Just do what must be done

I know, you can’t see me
You’ve been gone so long
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing

Well farewell to the child you thought you knew her
She was too pure anyway
Cause this old souls not made of bedrock
She’ll get through it the good old-fashioned way

I know, you can’t see me
You’ve been gone so long
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing

All she needs is time
Give it a little sweet, sweet time
Cause this old souls not made of bedrock
Give it a little sweet, sweet time

I know, you can’t see me
You’ve been gone so long
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing
Honey when you’re gone I’m changing
Track Name: Pond Song
You’re lying at the bottom of a pond staring up at the skies
Woven into the cloud
Woven into the afternoon
You feel light as you watch the guiding hand work around you
Sewing life into the light, it’s all around you

At the bottom of a pond, life really shows
That in this woven land nobody knows

You ask the guiding hand how he sows this land without a thimble
He says its chance just take the good with the bad, be a better man
You wonder which ways better from the bottom of your pond
Is homeward Up or Down?
Were your born from the dust?
Or was it the sky above?

At the bottom of a pond, life really shows
That in this woven land nobody knows

You’re lying at the bottom of a pond staring up at the sky
Woven into the cloud
Woven into the afternoon
You feel light as you watch the guiding hand work around you
Sewing life into the light, it’s all around you
Track Name: Owl
An owl awoke one July night
There was no moon,
there was no light
He found a tree so he could see
The fate that awaits you and me

He cast a yellow eye across the land
It lit up roofs so they look like lamps
So he could find a man who sees
But the eyes were shut asleep
Just like me
Asleep like me

There’s a castle beyond the river
Flags are flying, flying high
There’s a castle beyond the river
Flags are flying, flying high

The owl sharpens his pointy beak
To pry the eyes of men who sleep
Oh I hope he prys my eyes too
I wish to see all that I could do
(All that I could do)

There’s a castle beyond the river
Flags are flying, flying high
There’s a castle beyond the river
Flags are flying, flying high


It’s all lies. It’s all lies. It’s all lies.
I’m telling you this I’m asleep not dead
It’s not too late to lift your head
Off the pillow in which you lie
And see what could be
For you and I
(For you and I)

There’s a castle beyond the river
Flags are flying, flying high!
There’s a castle beyond the river
Flags are flying, flying high!

It’s all lies…
Track Name: Paper
Paper boats in my brother’s land
Never made by the same two hands
Paper boats in my sister’s land
Never made by the same two hands

Paper boats were made to float
But sometimes they fly
I knew one whose name was Seth
And sometimes he’d fly

Paper boats in my brother’s land
Never made by the same two hands
Paper boats in my sister’s land
Never made by the same two hands

Now I never said that they’d always fly
Sometimes you gotta be prepared to die
I knew one whose name was Job
And he got down to die

Paper boats in my brother’s land
Never made by the same two hands
Paper boats in my sister’s land
Never made by the same two hands

Now the ocean floor, has been touched by many
Who tried to get down not by
I knew one whose name was Luke
He tried to get down not by

Paper boats in my brother’s land
Never made by the same two hands
Paper boats in my sister’s land
Never made by the same two hands

Now didn’t your mamma tell you not to play with string!
Don’t you know that it’s a dangerous thing
She told you once and she told you again
But little Seth he went and did it again

Little string little string
Let that paper boat get on by
Little string little string
Let that paper boat fly!
Track Name: If I Had a Roof
If I had a roof I’d
Stare all day
Behind prison walls
To basketball hoops and
Chalk on the gravel floor

And I’d say the same thing twice
That the view is particularly nice
Up here…

If I had a roof I’d
See where the land and sky meet
See where the land and sky meet me
Oh I could see

And I’d say the same thing twice
That the view is particularly nice
Up here…

If I had a roof I’d
Stand on a ledge
And feel the breeze flow through my hair
Till my heart dissolved to air

And I’d say the same thing twice
That the view is particularly nice
Up here…
Up here
Track Name: When You're Alone
When you’re alone
You can make the day go slowly
When you’re alone
You can disappear, and make the day go lonely

Well, you’re sitting in the dark
But I still know you're in there

When you’re alone
You discover you’re a sun bear
And it doesn’t take a mirror to show
That your fur is not your hair

You’ve drawn the curtains now
But I still know you’re in there

When you’re alone
You think your toes belong to your hands
And you’re looking through your chin
At a world that makes you want to take a bath

You’re sitting in the dark but I still know you’re in there
You’re sitting in the dark but I still know you’re in there
Well you’re sitting in the dark but I still know you’re in there
