Hunting Eyes 04:14
Hunting Eyes The wolves are running Searching as a pack You have got to be quick Are you are ever coming back? The woodland creatures --- Of fur, of teeth and hate Creeping through my garden Waiting at the ornate gate They should not be here, scratching at my door Starving me out--- human and animal form I’ll take no sleep until the light of dawn What darkest mischief! And you’ve got hunting eyes --- haunting, hunting eyes They can see, oh (good God) they can see deep into to the night I am fearful of your teeth I am fearful of your size The wolves are running Searching as a pack Something they remember Something in the black? I hear footfall --- I hear claws on gravel They’re a long way out Something worth the travel! The night is full of song, the night is full of magic Scratching at the windows, twisting natural logic At my front door. Will I ever sleep again? What wicked teeth! And you’ve got hunting eyes --- haunting, hunting eyes They can see, oh (good God) they can see deep into to the night I am fearful of your teeth I am fearful of your size Underneath the hunters’ moon, my dear, I’ve seen you change Silhouetted beneath the sheets --- you’ve joined the beasts! And you’ve got hunting eyes --- haunting, hunting eyes They can see, oh (good God) they can see deep into to the night I am fearful of your teeth I am fearful of your size

Mr. Martin Pincher The lift it has stopped steadfast at the top And I think it gave Annie a bit of a shock ‘Cos the building’s on fire and we’ve been here a while I tried to be strong, tried to cast her a smile but I’ll lose Mr Martin Pincher Don’t forget your upper lip is stiff The dinner gong is heard in the drawing room world So I’ll wind up my watch and the door I’ll unlock I’ll travel the hall, greet my wife my little girl Take my place at the table and pray that the cable won’t fail Mr Martin Pincher Don’t forget your upper lip is stiff Mr Martin Pincher Don’t forget your upper lip is stiff I’m beginning to choke in the billow-black smoke I feel the heat rise, feel my panic exposed My colleague’s scream stark as my vision goes dark Shame, the last thing I saw was the head of an axe cutting through Mr Martin Pincher Don’t forget your upper lip is stiff

A Glimpse Of Lightning I caught a cold I caught a glimpse of lightening As fire covered the ground --- There was an awful sound You think I’m deeply troubled now I tried so hard to close my eyes to attenuate the memory But noting else will come to me --- just that brilliant jagged streak Now I’m in this kitchen Ghosts are all around me Some laughing --- others childe me My fault for believing All my fault for believing in you I watched it burn Saw us turn to ashes As fire ate at our hearts Ravenous for the stuff --- The residue of love I tried so hard to close my eyes to attenuate the memory But noting else will come to me --- just that brilliant jagged streak Now I’m in this kitchen Ghosts are all around me Some laughing --- others childe me My fault for believing All my fault for believing I will not be frightened No I will not be frightened Of the ghosts or the lightening I will not repeat the mistakes I made concerning you I caught a cold I swear I dreamt of lightening A long long time ago

The Golden Pathway The golden pathway A treasury of knowledge is found within My last will and testament Is found on the phantom ship The stolen bacillus --- the hoax. How Dante’s escaped the chateaux. A song for St. Celia’s Day --- La Belle Dame San Merci Oh ye --- oh yeay The golden pathway A treasury of knowledge is found within At war with the Corronades Being ashore --- O carpe diem! The stolen bacillus --- the hoax. How Dante’s escaped the chateaux. A song for St. Celia’s Day --- La Belle Dame San Merci Oh ye --- oh yeay The stolen bacillus --- the hoax. How Dante’s escaped the chateaux. A song for St. Celia’s Day --- La Belle Dame San Merci Oh ye --- oh yeay

I Am Cain 03:46
I am cain A nasty, dirty, mad-man monster staring out of a pencil scribble O --– you wicked child! I only ever see him in the mirror And he makes --- he makes me nervous --- it’s in the eyes O --– you wicked child! I define myself:- Young. Male. In his twenties. Prime category for schizophrenic development. Keep your friends close Your friends close All enemies closer --- A gift of poisoned wine for the House of Caesar I am fearless I am Cain Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- These are such noble goals Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- These are such noble goals Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- These are such noble goals Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- Oh, these are such noble goals A nasty, dirty, mad-man monster staring out of a pencil scribble O --– you wicked swine! I only ever see him in the mirror And he makes --- he makes me nervous --- it’s in the eyes O --– you wicked swine! A caged bird is still a bird A caged bird is still a bird Maybe it will sing if you threaten to clip its wings A caged bird is still a bird A caged bird is still a bird Maybe it will sing if you threaten to clip its wings Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- These are such noble goals Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- These are such noble goals Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- These are such noble goals Cancer, contagion and the common cold --- Oh, these are such noble goals These are such noble goals These are such noble goals Well I am fearless I am Cain
