Magnetic Moon

I was born on the moon
Every day a different view
I was born magnetic moon
Waiting for you
You, you
I whisper to the sea
The same name a different dream
And on an ocean of relief
You come to me
Me, me
So darling won't you help me sing?
Sing magnetic melodies
I'll sing'em to the open land
Forever will you hold my hand
Forever you will hold my hand
As oceans rise we live our final days
We'll leave the answer up by our graves
Bow to land and sea the angels cry
With you I'll die, die, die
So darling I can feel you here
The angel's touch is yours my dear
Darling I am on my way
You're all around you're leading me
You're all around you're leading me
Forever you will hold my hand

Giving Giving Gone
03:17

Wildflowers in the dead of night
Don't need to fight for sun
Need to fight for sun in the same way
Wildflowers in the dead of night
Stretch down into the ground
Finally figure out where roots lie
Standing up all day
No room for give and take it feels like
Giving giving gone, giving giving gone
If I can make it through this day
My blooms will be replaced or else it's
Giving giving gone, giving giving, gone
One stop jack-of-all
Come take just what you need
Just this once, forever more
One hundred miles an hour, is how I'm swept along
Barely clinging on to being me
Standing up all day
No room for give and take it feels like
Giving giving gone, giving giving gone
If I can make it through this day
My blooms will be replaced or else it's
Giving giving gone, giving giving, gone
Wildflowers in the dead of night
Sway freely in the breeze, breathing in their own delight

Little Eyes
03:20
|

Sorry's such an ugly word
When you use it to cover up all your hurt
I bet you think a pretty girl
Could never tell you what she's worth
But there's more than meets your little eyes
I know you can't see it but boy you should feel it
And as you wait for my reply
I'm already dancing I am all my answers
I hope you can see with your
Little eyes
Your little eyes
And lately life's been such a drag
When I want to shout but my tongue it snags
There's only so far you can push the boundaries of
What's all good
So tell me is it me that's wrong
Cos' I toed the line but the line has worn
I'm sorry that I'm not sorry
All I can do is show you
That there's more than meets your little eyes
And oh if you saw it you wouldn't ignore it
And as you watch me dance away
You've seen all my answers, there's a small chance
That it's opened up your
Little eyes
Your little eyes

Chestnut Heart
03:45
|
|||
Fiery hot
I'm black on the outside of my chestnut heart
Wrap me up
To conserve the beauty of this chestnut heart
This chestnut heart
Fear me not
Use your faith to prize apart my shell
Wisened hands
You will need to see inside this chestnut heart
This chestnut heart
On my hands
Are the marks I bare from holding you
Along my path
You're left behind like scattered clues
Of this chestnut heart
So peel me right now
So peel me right now
Peel me right now
Peel me right now
So peel me right now
Let's go outside
Where I'll hold you tight in the chestnut light
Or one more high, who could know it would last into the night?
Of this chestnut heart
Fiery hot
I'm black on the outside of my chestnut heart

Seven Sisters
03:26
|
|||
Jumping on a train again
Please step aside, this door ain't wide enough
Some come in and some refrain
Make up your mind, don't you want it bad enough?
Chug, chug down the line
Faces facing mine
Am I doing fine? (I'm totally fine)
When the night is through
With seven sisters screaming through the skies above our heads
And I need you
A message for the independent woman, who thought she'd never fall
Into the arms of her seven sisters
Set aside the politics, is it thanks to me that I've ended up this way?
Wait a minute, let me think
Of every times that you reached out your hand
Sleeping on your couch
Giving mouth to mouth
Ok, so I might need your help from time to time (could you give me a hand please?)
When the night is through
With seven sisters screaming through the skies above our heads
And I need you
A message for the independent woman, who thought she'd never fall
Into the arms of her seven sisters
Spoken:
She told me long after she had died, when you go into a room, a meeting, an interview, take everyone who loves you with you. Family, friends, they're all around. See them there, feel them there and they will give you strength. That's the strength of feminism. The unseen army with sword half drawn that emboldens me to ask for more and take my place. Maya Angelou and all her wisdom comes with me into the rawest rooms and roars.
When the night is through
With seven sisters screaming through the skies above our heads
And I need you
A message for the independent woman, who thought she'd never fall
Into the arms of her seven sisters

Kind of Torture
03:51
|
|||
I want to see the kind of girl
That goes your way
When I'm gone
Sounds like something we might say
The seasons come and go
But some do stay
The winter in my heart feels like it'll never go away
When you're gone
Every day's a rainy day
When you're gone
We'll be holding our heads in our hands like me used to
Every time we're seduced to
This kind of torture
We'll talk about where we want to be
The places we would go if only we could guarantee
We're still one
But we say, "We'll see"
But I know
We'll be holding our heads in our hands like we used to
Every time we're seduced to
This kind of torture
Why do we talk about the things
That we don't ever want to see
It's a kind of torture
Why do we put ourselves in places
We don't ever want to be
It's a kind of torture
Why do we talk about the things
That we don't ever want to see
It's a kind of torture
Why do we put ourselves in places
We don't ever want to be
It's a kind of torture to me

Fast as It Flows
02:44
|
|||
Chaotic particles frozen for now
I'll skate across the surface delighting in how
Easily I go
Islands are forming, drifting quite curiously
I know this feeling, kindly reminded
Tessellated butterflies
Animals and alibis
Hopes that one day we'll fly away
Up and down the river goes
Don't stop it it'll overflow
Journeying as fast as it flows, ooh
High in my tower now watching the skater go
Hour after hour, can't shake this feeling, oh
What does it matter if the horizon's gold
If I can't wake from this feeling, this feeling cold?
Please hold me
Let's create a butterfly
Animals and alibis
Hopes that one day we'll fly away
Up and down the river goes
Don't stop it it'll overflow
Journeying as fast as it flows, ooh

Winter's Long
02:56
|
|||
Everything is falling into place
Keeping busy, keep it moving on
Walks along the beach, miles on the clock
Filling every second I can't stop
Now most days
I only think of you once or twice
So when will you notice me?
I've waited for long
When can we cease desist this carrying on?
This winter's long
This winter's long
By the time this year rolls round
I'll be best friends with the neighbours from next door
I'll be knitting hats five days a week
Friday night book club my social life's hit peak
Now on a good day
I only think of you in my dreams
So when will you notice me?
I've waited for long
When can we cease desist this carrying on?
This winter's long
This winter's long

Fire Lady
03:04
|
|||
There's a lady who dances and fire is her name
She makes her advances and leads you astray
And she waits for you patiently
She watches you never leaves
She'll marry you carry you
In her embrace yourself
For the lady she burns
Her bark is her bite and forever you'll yearn
For her tender lips and sweet caress
She'll have you knowing less and less
About any love you ever knew before
And she waits for you patiently
You're running home faithfully
Spirits fly flames are high
The lady she's mine
The lady she's mine
So come lie with me
For with you I am coal
Turned from black to gold
You warm my soul
You warm my soul
You warm my soul
You warm my soul
