To Cut A Long History Short

Soldier is turning
see him through white light
running from strangers
see you in the valley

war upon war
heat upon heat
To cut a long story short
I lost my mind

Sitting on a park bench
years away from fighting
to cut a long story short
I lost my mind

Standing in the dark
oh I was waiting for man to come
I am beautiful and clean
and so very very young
to be standing in the street
to be taken by someone

Questions questions
give me no answers
that's all they ever give me
questions questions

oh look at the strange boy
he finds it hard existing
to cut a long story short
I lost my mind

Musclebound

We're building fires that will burn until morning
the smell of books and hot stone surround us
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make

We feel the steam as it rises around us
up from the soil that is cracking its back
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that sing

Work till you're musclebound all night long
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long

We're building fires that will burn until morning
the smell of books and hot stone surround us    
Tough is the leather that strapped to my skin
strong are the bonds that we make

To hear a pulsing from chanter to mountain
down through the vein and into the grain
Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time
here is the land it can break

Work till you're musclebound all night long
Work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long
Gotta work till you're musclebound all night long

The Freeze

Blue sing La Lune
sing Lagoon
the visions are making me stay
the art is pretending it's art
the quetion is where do you pay ?
Unpack my case one more time
I'll cancel my train once again
destiny give me a day
erogenous zones win again

(repeat all)
(repeat 5 first verses)

Toys

We are the night,
we'll tempt you and turn you on.
Live in our hearts
and play with your man.
Oh these are your toys
hold them and they'll obey,
from blood into life
thy still become your toys.
This is your game
in heaven in your bedroom,
your chivalrous knight
will save you tonight.
They'll look for reasons again and again
let them go,let them go let them go.
You'll have your reason again and again
for letting them go, for letting them go.
Oh stand by the wall,
wach as they shoot you down,
from blood to stone
they still become your toys.
Your toys, your toys.

Glow

Glow,
take out this foreign heart,
wash oof the sand that seeps out through my eyes,
I've still sleep in my eyes.
Cold,
cold's how we felt so long,
accuse me of crying and speaking of lies.
I've still sleep in my eyes,
I've still sleep in my eyes,
glow like a lover.
Out,
out is the winter pale,
gold rising June in the blue of my eye,
I've still sleep in my eyes.
Glow, this is my family,
send for the soul you can soon realise.
I've still sleep in my eyes,
I've still sleep in my eyes,
glow like a lover.
