TEN SHILLINGS
OPEN DOOR
Nothing out of the ordinary, another night with a broken view
Desert church on a lonely Sunday, lonely eyes and lonely pews
And I guess I’ll never see it again, no not like before
When the hiding and crying give out there’s an open door
Go back Mr. escalator we’ve gone too far and I’ve lost my way
Don’t know if the rivers rising, don’t know if it looks the same
But I know I’ll never see it again, no not like before
When the lying and crying give out there’s an open door
Nothing left but a lonely blue bird, sitting on the branch of a tree
Fly away to a new location, find a spot for you and me
And I know I’ll never see him again, no not like before,
When the lying and crying give out there’s an open door
And I know I’ll never see him again
EACH OTHER
Baby’s got a little love in her heart and she’ll give it when she can
I got dreams overdue
Fall down hitting so hard he’s a rough and tumble man
This I promise to you
Hey where’d you go, Hey do we know
Each other any more
Do we know each other, do we know
Where to go in this beautiful world when its upside down
We've got something left to do
Feel the love feel the love in our hearts and just give it when you
can, this I promise to you
Hey where’d you go, Hey do we know
Each other any more
Do we know each other, do we know
CARSON CITY
Riding away frozen there in the backyard city lights totally great
Giver a try all you got is all that you can give waving goodbye oh
Don’t cry get onboard ride to the rhythm
Don’t try he was a friend of mine
Don’t cry hidin away Carson City
Don’t try he’ll join the crew and I
Riding away bringin in the best days of our lives total gray ya
Giver a try never take what you can never give all of the time oh
Don’t cry get onboard ride to the rhythm
Don’t try she was a friend of mine
Don’t cry hidin away Carson City
Don’t try he’ll join the crew and I
DOES IT MATTER
Got my rations at my feet all I ask for is something for my boy to
eat and I will give you not a thing it’s a chance worth taking and
perhaps your heart will sing now
Well look at me, I don’t know, what to do where to go right now
Hey lady, what time is it, what day is it, Does it Matter
Greener pastures and calmer seas a spot worth noting but
nothing that we’ve ever seen here
We get our dreams right out of the way we go from scene to
seen from play to play
Well look at me, I don’t know, what to do who I am right now
Hey maybe, I know what time it is, I know what day it is and it
Matters
Got my rations at my feet all I ask for is something for my boy to
eat I will give you not a thing it’s a chance worth taking and
perhaps your heart will sing, heart will sing now
MIRROR THAT SMILES
Let’s go to the edge of the forest forget about the meek and mild
She loved the line in the chorus about a little sea sick child, sea
sick child, oh ya a sea sick child
Come see the man on the mountain, remember that he’s mean
and wild
All night it’s just constant shouting fighting with the mirror that
smiles
Mirror that smiles, oh ya the mirror that smiles, Mirror that smiles
oh ya the mirror that smiles
I go high, she goes low, I don’t try cause I know, everybody
knows
On down through the valley it’s all that you have known
It’s back to the basics darlin, even for the semi-pros, semi-pros,
oh ya the semi pros, semi pros oh ya the semi pros
I go high, she goes low, I don’t try cause I know, that I’m ok, all
my days, please be brave and we’ll go
LAST LEAF
Caught off guard by a big yellow tree growing all by itself in the
blue scenery
And its last leaf falls and floats away
And on its way to paradise I wonder, will it lay its head to rest in
the clover
And on its way I pass the test and discover, in the end of paradise
is it over?
Flying through the big mushroom cloud I think to myself and I
scream out loud
And the last leaf falls and floats away
And on its way to paradise I wonder, will it lay its head to rest in
the clover
And on its way I pass the test and discover, in the end of paradise
is it over?
I crawl back but there is no more tree and it wasn’t for you
if it wasn’t for me
And its last leaf fell and floated away
And on its way to paradise I wonder, will it lay its head to rest in
the clover
And on its way I pass the test and discover, in the end of paradise
is it over?
RECIPES AND OLD OAK TREES
Toe the line out – recipes and old oak trees today
Figurine hands – brittle to the earth and all that lives
I was alive – working hard to eat my dinner
Toe the line out – recipes and old oak trees today
Father leader – yesterday 10 schillings on the vine
How will you know coriander and pepper will grow
I’ve got no reason to understand the reason why it lacks
Don’t you forget me, I’ll see you once then we’ll cover our tracks
