Basement Kiss
Lucy Grace can't show her face down in the North End Road
For in Belgravia
Rumours have been whispered and suggestions have been made
Did you sell your friends out when the heat got too intense?
You say you like the danger but it's only a pretense
You say you need the money
When everybody knows you can always fall back on your inheritance
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
Who's that sneaking 'round the door?
You can't come here no more
Can't you go home again?
She used to sit alone for hours
Spend her evenings watering dried flowers
When her mother came to stay and finally went to bed
Lucy Grace was in the front room shooting through your head
She tried to take your breath away and give you something else instead
Next year she'll serve her function in that Audrey Hepburn hat
It still won't suit her much but she'll get over that
She'll be pale and feign indifference as they're handling out the prizes
Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom
And her ugly sister's tranquillizers
Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?
When you hurt so easily and you try so hard
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

Break
Wake me up, angelic skulls,
Tase my zestless disposition.
Bruise me.
Clutch my bleeding heart in your eager
Hands and keep it forever.
Close my eyes with your wings,
Make me feel at ease.
Whispering trees on shimmering eves,
Wasted dreams on barren beds,
Bruise me please.
Collect my universe of tears,
Sparking diamonds in your abyss of darkness
Cover my eyes and help me escape.
Chain me within your eyes,
Take me now, or awake me,
For as doth, you doth, you don't,
My griming face will turn wroth.
Nothing more mediocre than an actor's tears on a globe stage.
Bruise me please, until I bleed.

Him
I pushed back my hair
Walked through the door
The dream I had was no more
Down my cheeks the tears then ran
Making me think of no pleasure
No pain
How could this be?
How did it happen?
For he is gone, and I can't get past him
He was my friend
Till the end
Now he is gone, no longer my friend?
I asked my self in the dark
Why did this happen?
When did it start?
Daring myself to make a move
The shadows came, to cover my bruise
The bruise on my heart left by him
U shall see it, never again.

Bruise
She holds her head within her hands
Quietly reeling
If only he could understand
What she's feeling
She moves into me
To kiss my shoulder
She waits patiently
For me to hold her
It's all I want
When I want
She's all I need
When it's all
It's all I have
When I lose
It's just a bruise
He holds his head within his hands
Contemplating
If only she could understand
Without waiting
She moves into me
To kiss my shoulder
She waits patiently
For me to hold her
Me to hold
It's all I want
When I want
She's all I need
When it's all
It's all I have
When I lose
It's just a bruise
And it's all we've ever known
Every moment
And it's for me I will grow
It's all I want
When I want
She's all I need
When it's all
It's all I have
When I lose
It's just a bruise

Heart-shaped Bruise
Tell me now, or am I only dreaming?
Tell me now, or are you only teasing?
I felt the cold hard facts of life
Five degrees from freezing
Does it amuse you to always hurt me so?
I try my best, its not enough
Should I give up and let you go?
Theres nothing more to take from me
Theres nothing more to give you dear
Theres nothing else that I can lose
Except this heart-shaped bruise
It will fade from purple to black
It will fade just as the day was lost into twilight
Tell me now or am I only dreaming?
You said that youd be mine for life
And now you say youre leaving
If I could hold you once more before you go
When I approach you you just lash out
Should I give up and let you...
What more is there to take from me?
Theres nothing more to give you dear
Theres nothing more that I can lose
Except this heart-shaped bruise

Heart Shaped Bruise (feat. Emmylou Harris)
Tell me now
Or are you only teasing?
I felt the cold hard facts of life
Five degrees from freezing
Does it amuse you to always hurt me so?
I try my best it's not enough
Should I give up and let you?
What more is there to take from me?
There's nothing else to give you, dear
There's nothing more that I can lose
Except this Heart Shaped Bruise
It will fade
From purple to violet
It will fade
Just as the day dissolves into twilight
Tell me now
Or am I only dreaming?
You said that you'd be mine for life
And now you say you're leaving
If I could hold you once more before you go
When I approach you just lash out
Should I give up and let you?
What more is there to take from me?
There's nothing else to give you, dear
There's nothing more that I can lose
Accept this Heart Shaped Bruise
It will fade from purple to violet
It will fade?

People You Knew
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those reasons you can let off steam.
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those things you keep and do not need.
Let me remind you,
Things don't define you.
Leave them behind you...
All those things you should let go.
All those things that bring sorrow.
All those things that could explode,
To bruise...
Those people you once loved but lose!
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those reasons you can let off steam.
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those things you keep and do not need.
Let me remind you,
Things don't define you.
Leave them behind you...
All those things that could explode,
To bruise...
Those people you once loved but lose!
All those things you should let go.
All those things that bring sorrow.
All those things that could explode,
To bruise...
Those people you once loved but lose!
Those people you knew you made fools.

Bunker Hill
She
She
She
Lock the bus undo the chain
Getting all to hot, gotta head on 5th and main
I look like you I feel the same
You don't even know my name
I got this tied up to my cell
Well everybody's gone to the everybody shell
Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you, I said lordy lordy
I don't like blood into the chain
A dirty sun will burn away
Do you even want to stay
Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you, I said lordy lordy
Where'd ya get that bruise, do you want me to,
take your body
I must still, taking your bod away
Are you coming through, do you want me to, take your body
It would be so cool, to be cool with you. I said lordy lordy
Where'd ya get that bruise, do you want me to,
take your body
I must still, taking your bod away

Dancin Shoes
I know youre so sad
So sad you cant cry
But I know you let go
Although you cant remember why
Your lipstick dont fit
Your straps coming loose
Youre out in the hall
Waltzing the blues
Now you hurt somewhere
They wont find a bruise
Youve been learning to walk
In those dancin shoes
I had a mama
She told me bout you
She said true love dont lie
You touch that woman
And the smoke wont leave your eyes
Youre talking, you walk
cause you cant refuse
Learning to walk
In those dancin shoes
Now you hurt somewhere
They wont find a bruise
Learning to walk
In those dancin shoes

The Glow In My Eyes Just The Same
It’s the light not to touch might bruise the heart
Glittering drops revealed in pearls
Grasshopper feast for an endless leap
Wind swept caressing beautiful morning
Of coming so close never to return
The beams soft rising rising from hands
It’s the light not to touch might bruise the heart
Might ruin the whole within a song
The final breathing of all the mists
In clouds raising thorns
In clouds growing flowers
Wind swept caressing beautiful morning
Of coming so close never to return.

Prophecy Of Head And Heel Wounds
Goliath’s head David dragged to Jerusalem
buried under Golgotha Skull Place impaled
Calvary to be place where Adam Eve sinned
David commanded by God Goliath’s head
here buried beneath this spot in Jerusalem
to fulfill God’s prophecy to his bloodline
God’s judgement on shinning one Satan
Moses by Holy Spirit this promise penned
'And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise
you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel'
Genesis 3: 15.
blood of Christ washes over Goliath’s head
at Calvary the messiah bloodline of David
through Mary will this prophecy time be fulfilled

Just The Way Im Feeling
Love in, love out,
Find the feeling
Scream in, scream out,
Time for healing
You feel the moments gone too soon,
Youre watching clouds come over you.
Torn in two,
You close your eyes for some place new,
Torn in two
And I feel its going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
Im waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round
I feel were going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
Its just the way Im feeling.
Glow in, burn out,
Lost the feeling
Bruise in, you bruise out,
Nurse the bleeding
Torn in two,
Each time we bruise
And I feel its going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
Im waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round
I feel were going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
Its just the way Im feeling.
Yeah yeah, its just the way Im feeling.
Two different views,
As words confuse and break
I cant get out,
Theres no way out of here,
I cant get clear.
Love in, love out,
Find the feeling.
And I feel its going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
Im waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round
I feel were going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
Its just the way Im feeling.
Yeah yeah, its just the way Im feeling.
Yeah yeah, its just the way Im feeling.
Yeah yeah, its just the way Im feeling.
Yeah yeah, its just the way Im feeling.
