Catherine of the Isles
03:07

|
Oh Catherine of the isles greets every day
her green skirt scraping the sands at the end of the cay
Oh Catherine of the Isles, or so I've been told,
lost her ship and her crew to the waters below
and those waves they dragged her down
and those waves they dragged her down
Amphitrite, Amphitrite, don't let me drown
Oh Catherine of the Isles was washed ashore
inquisitive birds turned to her
"How's your Spanish, Catherine?"
"How's your Spanish, Catherine?"
"Oh, it's OK but, honestly, it could be much better."

“There is no mistake this time,
and we absolutely decline
to credit the exhibitor,
who is himself a Tyrolean and character vocalist and ventriloquist,
when he tells us that it is all an illusion.
We prefer
to believe
the other way.
There, in a glass tank, with sticklebacks and a gudgeon for her companions,
sits the lovely creature,
very beautiful as to her head,
with its lovely flowing hair,
and very fishy
as to her tail. “

Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Aren’t You over it.
When you think about the ocean
Do you remember how it felt to be real.
Before you swam inside a glass tank
doing tricks, sloshing for your next meal
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Aren’t You over it.
Do you look beyond the risers
as the spray of water loudly reveals
the aquatic world that calls you
to roam and play and hunt for your own meal.

When the road it feels so endless
and the world it feels so senseless
and you don’t know where you’re going
and you’ve lost who you are
and everything is so distant
muted, pale, and dim
Well don’t worry
salt breeze in your hair
the sea and stars are still there.

Oh how you stared
alone on the shore
nobody cared
and nobody came
And much too late for regrets
or an elegant pirouette
the bean sidhe wails heard overhead (Oh no)
and you're all alone now.

Queen of Thieves
04:58

|
Are your legs not long enough
Are your legs not long enough
Are your legs not long enough
To reach the ground beneath your feet
when you're crowned the queen of thieves.
With your head now in the clouds
and the stars appear to you to be growing nearer
Is your heart not strong enough
Is your heart not strong enough
Is your heart not strong enough
to leave the ground beneath your feet
you've been crowned the queen of thieves
....
"All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful"
"All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful"

Vincent said to Theo Damn this wind
The canvas shakes it's so undisciplined
So let's get high and buy some books today
Said let's get high and buy some books today
Theo said to Vincent that’s OK
I’ll send the coachman out to your doorway
Yeah let's get high and buy some books today
Said let's get high and buy some books today

Berlin Rain

High above
The crops, the leaves, the seeds
They gather
A million in one bead
And The Green awaits
Cold and empirical
Berlin below
The cover their heads and gather close
And run for shelter
As The Green celebrates
Rapturous and lyrical

Curved hollow
goat's horn
blaring sounds
mordant
Caterwaul at gloaming green
Weltschmerz
ennui
Oh lycanthropy
Fusillade of silver through the trees
Hounds find the fox
sipping tea with
Alighieri

Just some kids out making noises and writing songs
Yeah some kids out making noises and writing songs
Now your house is a flower
Yeah your house is a flower
Yeah your house is a flower
you should have known
Just some kids playing with matches while you're gone
Yeah those kids playing with matches while you're gone
Now your house is on fire
Yeah your house is on fire
Yeah your house is on fire
You should have known.

A Golem
01:12
|

|
A golem came bending trees like toys
A general sought him to employ
he said look down on the field there my boy
Don’t you want to kill, maim and destroy
and the golem simply laughed and walked away
An orange-skinned man came up and said
Why don’t you work for me instead
Well lie and cheat and bully till we’re bored
then take what we can from the poor
And the golem simply laughed and walked away

Wasps of Venus
The wasps of Venus
Landed in Perth
They came to the earth
Wasps of Venus
The wasps of Venus
They came for your life
They came for your wife
The Queen of Venus
The Queen of Venus
Forgot her raccoon
But she brought her bassoon
Bootsy Collins
Bootsy Collins
Plays on acidic clouds
When the queen wants it loud
Her palace is resplendent
With her servants and the man she adores
The funkiest bassist in the stars
And of all worlds
Then at times she sits and thinks back
Of her time back on earth… oh lord, f*%# that!
