A Portrait of Someone 02:49
lyrics

A portrait of someone hangs there in the hall But whom it may be, well I don't know at all Its angle is muted, its passion oblique Its features align but its texture won't speak Yet standing with you I can see its eyes Shining Like the lightning Shining Like the lightning My history's hopeless, my geography's poor But maybe I sense who it is after all Perhaps you can help me; your aim is acute Perhaps you can help me discover the truth For standing with you I can see its eyes Shining Like the lightning Shining Like the lightning For standing with you I can see its eyes Shining Like the lightning Shining Like the lightning Blinding Still I'm hiding Blinding Still I'm hiding

Did you hear the one about the Englishman? 03:41

Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He set his futures on fire Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He ripped out his sutures for wire He throttled creative desire Did you hear the one about the Englishman? In winter he mocked all the snow Did you hear the one about the Englishman? In springtime his blossom did grow But summertime brought back the snow Majesty Majesty Majesty Flaming majesty Flaming majesty Flaming majesty Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He'll tell you that everything's fine Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He swallowed his history divine

Cacophony of Voices 03:38
lyrics

Waking up Running to the sea Shaking up All its history All you hear: Cacophany of voices Turning round There's no space to listen All you've found Is that you've gone missing In your Cacophany of voices Back in town All the glass is shattered It's the sound Of everything that mattered In your Cacophany of voices 'Cos you just can't hear Everything worth hearing But you can't help fear All that everyone's fearing In your Cacophany of voices Now every time you want to speak You play it on repeat so can Testify that you've found truth Unique and beautiful And maybe Someone you can't see Might pay attention Someone you can't feel Might show affection And you feel like you exist again And again And again Waking up Run into the sea Shaking up All its history And you hear: Cacophany of voices

The edge The sea The count to three The breath The air The silent stare The wash The wave The things to save The depth The light The will to fight The step The leap The endless sleep The fear The hope The dare to cope The scent The sound The look around The way The night The truth, the light Every pulse Every care Every kiss Every glare Every mouth Every cheek Every day Every week Every branch Every leaf Every trial Every sleep Every song Every verse Every gift Every curse Every place Every time Every cue Every sign Leads up to here The grasp The tides The path divides The home The car The tiny star The warmth The smile The fallen child The end The start Th'infernal heart Every pulse Every care Every kiss Every glare Every mouth Every cheek Every day Every week Every branch Every leaf Every trial Every sleep Every song Every verse Every gift Every curse Every place Every time Every cue Every sign Leads up to here The step away The break of day
