The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Moon (Hewerdine / Eriksen)
The girl who fell in love with the moon
She just looked at the sky and she was gone
The girl who fell in love with the moon
She tried to say no but the pull was too strong
There was a time when her mood used to change with the tide
Now she's adrift on a sea of tranquility
She doesn't care and nobody asks why
The girl who fell in love with the moon
She'd been so lonely for so long
There was a time when her mood used to change with the tide
Now she's adrift on a sea of tranquility
She doesn't care and nobody asks why
The girl who fell in love with the moon
She just looked at the sky and she was gone
She was gone
Weatherman (Hewerdine / Gabriel)
Here comes the rain
Like I knew it would
Like I knew it should
But it's only rain
When you smile, I'm happy
When you're sad, I'm down
Don't you understand?
You're the weatherman
Here comes the sun
It's a beautiful day
Doesn't matter anyway
It's only the sun
When you smile, I'm happy
When you're sad, I'm down
Don't you understand?
You're the weatherman
You're the weatherman
It doesn't matter
If the sky is grey or blue
It doesn't matter
Cos it's all up to you
You're the weatherman
When you smile, I'm happy
When you're sad, I'm down
Don't you understand?
Don't you understand?
You're the weatherman
You're the weatherman
You're the weatherman
You're the weatherman
Ontario (Hewerdine)
Amethyst found Thunder Bay
Molten born to paper weight
A package found
It's way here today
All the way from Ontario
So we go on about our lives
Under other London skies
Christmas calls
Postcard replies
All the way from Ontario
And the lights are shining around this harbour
And the lights are shining around this harbour
Do I miss you? Yes I do
Cautious eyes deep iris blue
You went away
To be someone new
All the way to Ontario
And the lights are shining around this harbour
And the lights are shining around this harbour
Amethyst found Thunder Bay
There are those who can not stay
I'll come and visit you there one day
All the way to Ontario
All the way to Ontario
All the way to Ontario
Butterfly (On A Pin) (Hewerdine / Notodog / Hepburn)
You will find breaking hearts
In every guilded cage
When someone else has got the key
Just won't act their age
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Cinemas on Saturdays there's so much she will miss
Each time he leaves
He'll close the door
And seal it with a kiss
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Where no one can hear no one can get near
Oh but she's lost
The things in her mind
By which she's defined
Where are you gonna go
When he's done with you
There's nowhere else for you to turn
When you're borrowed and blue
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Where no one can hear no one can get near
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
Can't use her wings
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly...
Sugar On The Pill (Hewerdine / Borowecki / Reader)
I asked the walls where you are today
They have nothing new to say
The windwos sighed and turned away
Oops there goes another day
If you've got to go
If you've got to go
And I know you will
Put some sugar on the pill
If I lived up on the moon
I'd be free of the pull of you
And if I never seen you're face
I'd be happy lost in space
If you've got to go
If you've got to go
And I know you will
Put some sugar on the pill
If you've got to go
If you've got to go
And I know you will
Put some sugar on the pill
Tell me when it's over
Tell me when it's gone
So I can move on
And the mirror girl gives her a grin
She doesn't know the trouble she's in
There's a truth she'll have to meet
But just this one time make it sweet
If you've got to go
If you've got to go
And I know you will
Put some sugar on the pill
If you've got to go
If you've got to go
And I know you will
Put some sugar on the pill
Slow Learner (Hewerdine / Littlefield)
And you think by now I know
What a mess you make of me
You think by now that I would see
I'm a slow learner
And we always seem to start
At the beginning of the end
Some things are hard for me to understand
I'm a slow learner
Everybody knows
Everybody sees
I guess everybody's just smarter than me
Some things you just can't teach
A slow learner
And you think by now I'd try
To learn from my mistakes
My heart bends it just won't weem to break
I'm a slow learner
Everybody knows
Everybody sees
I guess everybody's just smarter than me
Some things you just can't teach
A slow learner
Everybody knows
Everybody sees
I guess everybody's just smarter than me
Some things you just can't teach
A slow learner
Sing To Me (Hewerdine / Deighton / Youle)
Here's a song to break your heart
Though these are only words
From someone else's dream
You can hear them in the dark
With the sheets over your head
Believing every word they said
Only you know what it means
Only you know what it means
Sing to me Sing to me
A million lullabies
Of a love that never dies
For a moment I'll be free
Sing to me Sing to me
The ghosts of summers gone
Before the world went wrong
Here's a song to break your heart
While you are sitting on the stairs
Should be taking out the trash
And it's really such a drag
Transistor radio
And if I let it go
Let it fall and let it crash
Let it fall and let it crash
Sing to me Sing to me
The pretty alibis
Honey coated lies
I wanna be decieved
Sing to me Sing to me
Let them come wave after wave
All those Jesus could not save
You know what it means
Sing to me Sing to me
A million lullabies
Of a love that never dies
For a moment I'll be free
Sing to me Sing to me
The ghosts of summers gone
Before the world went wrong
Sing to me
Sing to me
Patience Of Angels (Hewerdine)
From the top of the bus
She thought she saw him wave
She's all Tuesdays and forgetfulness
And a little money saved
Does she know - I don't know
But from here I can tell
It would try the patience of angels
It would try the patience of angels
And you know somthing's wrong
When the morning hurts your eyes
And the baby won't stop crying
You'll be waiting 'til you die
Would I be any good
And if I was would I find
It would try the patience of angels
It would try the patience of angels
There's a door in a wall
In a house in a street
In a town where no-one knows her name
She's the patience of angels
Does she know, I don't know
But from here I can tell
There's a door in a wall
In a house in a street
In a town where no-one knows her name
It would try the patience of angels
It would try the patience of angels
It would try the patience of angels
It would try the patience of angels
Submarines (Hewerdine)
I have not seen you in a while
Your eyes are distant other scenes
You use a language I don't know
Different lives
Submarines
The darkest thoughts that come to you
As shadow figures in your dreams
Even when the sun is high
They're always there
Submarines
I knew you when the future shone
And you are full of wild eyed schemes
Nothing seems that certain now
Submarines
Imagine God came down to us
To explain what this all means
Then left it in the taxi cab
We'd never know
I knew you when the future shone
And you are full of wild eyed schemes
That was when the world is young
Before we heard what might have been
Nothing seems that certain now
Submarines
Submarines
Nameless (Hewerdine / Boroweicki / Reader)
Every child asks why we die
No one tells a bird to fly
The trace of sunlight in your eye
Nameless
The sugar ache that means regret
The tiny hurts we can't forget
An undertaker's cigarette
Nameless
Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign
Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign
Between the lightning and the thunder
Right before you hear a train
The knowledge that you could go under
Nameless
Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign
Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign
When they come my haunting years
You'll hear no sound and you'll feel no fear
Once in a while you sense me near
Nameless
Nameless
Mountains (Hewerdine / DeMain)
Mountains I made of hills
Towers that test my will
How will I make the grade?
Mountains in front of you
Obstacles that block my view
Won't say I'm not afraid
And what I'm up against
Cannot be second guessed
I want so much to prove that I can
Make mountians move
High on imagining
What days ahead will bring
I loved you from the first hello
I loved you centuries ago
Mountains in front of you
Obstacles that block my view
Won't say I'm not afraid
And what I'm up against
Cannot be second guessed
I want so much to prove that I can
Make mountians move
High on imagining
What days ahead will bring
I loved you from the first hello
I loved you centuries ago
I Felt Her Soul Move Through Me (Hewerdine / Reader / Henderson / Dodds)
I felt her soul move through me
I was safe and sound
Branches on the window
Could not hurt me now
And when the night came
With childhood fears
Her soul moved through me
They disappeared
I felt her soul move through me
As I stepped from the train
Here to find a new life
To begin again
The spring had brought me
Winter kept me here
Her soul moved through me
Time disappeared
I felt her soul move through me
Somewhere in the sky
Too late I landed
To say goodbye
She gave me laughter
And I paid in tears
Her soul moved through me
I disappeared
I disappeared
