Every time she comes I come closer still Silhouettes that dance a waltz on windowsill Yeah we play our part but She's a tourist in my heart Reaching out a hand, nonchalent pulls us apart I sat on the banks of Her river Throwing stones at reflections of stars Confusing a love of the Ocean For the light of Suns dead and long past Every time she comes I come closer still Silhouettes that dance a waltz on windowsill

Tape loop desires you don’t understand You’ve been wired backwards by a drunken hand I was the crook, you were the crime You’ve been found wanting by a wanted man You’ve been wired backwards by a drunken hand Anytime you find you need a conversation – I’m your man It’s pornographic how you curl your tongue around a sweet turn of phrase You’ve been caught red handed in a charge of The Light Brigade You’re a martyr to your cause And we don't need more now what we need is less You should have learnt something by now I drink till I'm drunk I think till I'm sunk A backdoor, a battleship, the last bee stung In a forest of sticks I gather excuses Burn them like cinders in the morning Sun Casting a shadow over all we've done Anytime you find you need a conversation – I’m your man There's no sin that you could ever dream of that a Saint hasn't done You’ve been caught red handed - a charge of The Light Brigade You’re a martyr to your cause You know that we don't need more now what we need is less You should have learnt something by now I’m solar powered and the Sun is high Breaking in colours from the morning light I’m solar powered and the sun is high...

Africa 03:53
Nothing worth a damn was ever come by easy I'm raiding stores by gas light Foreign shores and rolling hills Sifting pans to find the ounce of gold I need to pay To carry me from Africa Far beyond these Azure woven skies I had to trade my rum and crumpled cigarettes for new papers I'm coming home I was just a boy pretending to walk tall A sheep in wolf's clothing Cutting my teeth on your cloth Tell you all my secrets- lie about my past It's not yours, not mine Just a place we're passing through I had to trade my rum and crumpled cigarettes for new papers I'm coming home Creeping over Sunrise Mountain like a fire Sometimes I seep into estates Where neither man nor god is King You could build Cathedrals From my stone cold lies I've been a sinner, a saviour, deserter Now I'm coming home I'm coming home
