The Fox
02:45

The fox went out on a chilly night,
he prayed to the Moon to give him light,
for he'd many a mile to go that night
before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,
he had many a mile to go that night
before he reached the town-o.
He ran till he came to a great big bin
where the ducks and the geese were put therein.
"A couple of you will grease my chin
before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,
a couple of you will grease my chin
before I leave this town-o."
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck,
threw the gray goose behind his back;
he didn't mind their quack, quack, quack,
and their legs all a-dangling down-o, down-o, down-o,
he didn't mind their quack, quack, quack,
and their legs all a-dangling down-o.
Old Mother Hubbard jumped out of bed;
out of the window she cocked her head,
Crying, "John, John! The grey goose is gone
and the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!"
Crying, "John, John, the grey goose is gone
and the fox is on the town-o!"
Then John he ran to the top of the hill,
He blew his horn both loud and shrill,
the fox he said, "I'd better flee with my kill
He’ll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o."
The fox he said, "I'd better flee with my kill
Or he’ll soon be on my trail-o."
Soon he came back to his den;
there were the little ones eight, nine, ten.
They said, "Daddy, better go back again,
'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!"
They said, "Daddy, better go back again,
'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o."
Then the fox and his wife without any strife
cut up the goose with a fork and knife.
And they never had such a supper in their life
and the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o,
they never had such a supper in their life
and the little ones chewed on the bones-o.

Broken Guy

Have you seen the Olympics at night?
I'm gonna need 5,000 feet if I'm gonna do this right
I'm just a broken guy
Got my arms behind my back now
whole lifetime behind me
I'm just a broken guy
Got a few screws loose I guess,
Never knew
Oh whats the point of all of it?
I've played games I know what I'm doin' a little bit
Oh wow these skies are gorgeous
think this thing can do a barrel roll?
(Solo)
I got a lotta people that care
Feel thrills one last time soaring through the air
I'm just a broken guy
Got my arms behind my back now
whole lifetime behind me
I'm just a broken guy
Got a few screws loose I guess,
Never knew

A dense white fog
creeps over the rocks
A cool wind blows
And the old boats rock
The thick green forest
stretches across the land
But the beach is quiet
cept for the waves on the sand
I can see something (I can see something)
Deep in the water (deep in the water)
I see it glowing (I see it glowing)
Does it know I'm watching? (Can it see me watching?)
Now it's rising
The endless current
pulls the seaweed ashore
and the night is waiting
for something more
The darkened lighthouse
sits upon the rocks
Signalling to no-one
That it's safe to dock
Now in the moonlight (now in the moonlight)
A silhouette's moving (sillhouette's moving)
Close to the beach now (Close to the beach now)
The sunken old mariner (risen from his grave)
Strolls on the beachside
(Solo)
Now the night is fading
and moon's going down
and the mariner returns
to where he drowned
And the seagulls begin
to squack and caw
but the mariners
heard it all before
Now in the sunlight (now in the sunlight)
Children are playing (laughing and smiling)
But they don't notice (they never notice)
What's buried in the sand (buried in the sand)
a rusted old sextant

I've seen my Dad dying
I keep the door shut tight
I hear my mother crying
herself to sleep at night
Who needed school?
Just hide away
other children are cruel
there's no need to stay
Stiff upperlip
Only brings shame
Please don't look at me
Please don't look at me
Play games through the night
A funny shitpost is alright
Forums are still socializing
Talking to people like normal people do
Why do you sleep in the day?
Why don't you leave your room?
Now we've rented you a sister
We hope that you get better soon
Searching and selling things I don't touch
Rare imports and games
The screen's light at night is enough
The sun burns like flames
Please just leave me alone
All your help is just pain
I can't leave the home
I'm just his way
Stiff upperlip
Only brings shame
Please don't look at me
Please don't look at me
Why do you sleep in the day?
Why don't you leave your room?
Now we've rented you a sister
We hope that you get better soon
Please don't look at me (better soon)
Please don't look at me (better soon)

Feeding the Creature
02:56
|

I went walking
Down by the river shore
I saw things
I'd never seen before
Daylight was turning
As the sky went black
I saw things in the water
That made me never go back
Feeding the Creature
Even though it hurts
Feeding the Creature
Even though it hurts
Sacrilegious sacraments
Were laying under logs
The bones of the weary
Were resting in the bogs
Dissonance and harmony
Whistled through the trees
The wind had paid a visit to
The Ministry of Leaves
Feeding the Creature
Even though it hurts
Feeding the Creature
Even though it hurts
They fed the Creature
Even though it hurt
They fed the Creature
Even though it hurt
Slimemolds were melting
As the rain came heaving down
But the forest had gown silent
Even as trees hit the ground
Then the final cries of a thousand eels
Came shimmering through the trees
And what they told me that night
I damn well couldn't believe
Feed the Creature
Even though it hurts
Feed the Creature
Even though it hurts
I fed the Creature
Even though it hurt
I fed the Creature
Even though it hurt

Oh did you hear the sound
When the opera burnt down
And the animals flew out
Into the night?
And the panicked crowds
Yelled so loud
That the birds in the area
Took flight?
And the smoke swirled up
And the pillars came down
And the stagehands ran
For their lives
And the animals set free
From the scene did flee
Off into the cold
Moscow night
Oh what can be said
Of when the flames burnt red
The night that the opera
Burnt down

Rosemary Among the Pines

Rosemary among the pines
Swaying side to side
Swaying side to side
The winter wind blows leaves
To and fro
And the branches lay
On the ground below
You can see from the glade
Rosemary among the pines
Gently swaying in the forest's shade
Above a bed of thyme
Rosemary among the pines
Swaying side to side
Swaying side to side
The winter wind blow leaves
To and fro
And no one knows
No one knows
Just a part of the forest now
Rosemary among the pines
The quiet straining on the pine tree's bough
The forest takes it's time
Rosemary among the pines
Swaying side to side
Swaying side to side
The autumn wind blows and
No one knows
It starts to snow
They search in winter clothes
Rosemary among the pines
Swinging side to side
No life in her eyes
And at home her mother knows
And she cries alone
She cries alone

It was the end of the long days
And the red sun did shine bright
The trees had died away
When Mora went to see the gods
The air was filled with paper toys
And The white cliffs fell apart
They had to have the answers
When Mora went to see the gods
She knew it had to be done
It was the only way
She wished it could be helped
When Mora went to see the gods
She was getting closer
Though she didn't know the way
And the wings had opened wider
When Mora went to see the gods
Look
And stay
A visit to the gods from Mora
The stepping stones splashed on for miles
The loom had set its course
The winds whispered softly
When Mora went to see the gods
The moss had spread upon the steps
And the stone was smooth as silt
But the lanterns were still lit
When Mora went to see the gods
Trembling without a gift
She put her hand upon the rocks
And sank into her sorrows
When mora went to see the gods
Look
And stay
A visit to the gods from Mora
Flowing on the ashen air
Far above the clouds
To the throne rooms pillars
When Mora went to see the gods
The granite doors were hung ajar
Spilled light filled the room
All desolate and dusty
When Mora Went to see the gods
The broken shrine lay at her feet
The lamps had all gone out
Answers lost forever
When Mora went to see the gods
Look
And stay
A visit to the gods from Mora

I've Been Around

I've been around
For a long time
Pictures stay the same
But the frames change
People don't notice
That I don't grow old
I've been around
For a long time
Watching people
Fade away
It always
Hurts the same
I've been around

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befall,
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befall,
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
But I cannot rest from travel
I will drink life to the lees
How dull to pause, to make an end
To rust unburnish'd, not shine in use!
Moved earth and heaven,
That which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will
To strive, seek, find,
And not to yield!
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befall,
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!
