Dagger (Slowdive "Souvlaki")
The sunshine girl is sleeping
She falls and dreams alone
And me I am her dagger
To numb to feel her pain
The world is full of noise yeah
I hear it all the time
And me I am your dagger
You know I am your world (you know I am your wound)
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
She whispers while I'm sleeping
I love you when you smile
I didn't really lose you
I just lost it for a while
The world is full of noise yeah
I hear it all the time
You know I am your dagger
You know I am your wound
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
I thought I heard you whisper
It happens all the time
It happens all the time

Only Human (Heidi Berry "Miracle")
And if I am
Who you think who I may be
Then I know, I know
Where's the right and wrong
If anyone could tell me
I wouldn't listen anyway
If anyone should offer me their time
Could I take it from them?
And I'm used to my own company
I know, know, know
That that's no way to stay
If anyone should ask me
Would I tell them everything?
If anyone should offer me their heart
Could I give the same away?
'Cause I'm so afraid
I'm too far gone
But I know
I'll find a way to be
If anyone can help me
Then would I let them try ?
And if anyone should open up their heart
Would I step inside
Nothing gets lost
Without something being gained
But I know, I know
I need to change
But say, I'm only human
And don't I live so all alone
And anyone thats listening to all these words
Do you recognise this?

Outer Skin (Chris Knox 'Duck Shaped Pain')
And it seems like nothing can penetrate through the outer skin
Crouched and cold on a slate grey day in the southern world
Self obsessed on a crumbling couch for hours
Quite alone as is usual for the things we are
Quite unable to go beyond whats ours
And it seems like nothing can penetrate through the outer skin
And it feels like nothing on earth has ever got in
Locked for life with a friend I've known for a thousand years
Known like no one I've ever known before
We're as close as two coats of paint on a windswept wall
But we'll never know what sits at the other ?
And it seems like nothing can penetrate through the outer skin
And it feels like nothing on earth has ever got in.
And it seems like nothing can penetrate through the outer skin
And it feels like nothing on earth has ever got in

Sweet Unknown (The Cranes "Population Four")
I've heard a lot about this girl and I don't want to hear about her now
If you think she's what you need then go
Good luck might see you again' is our road now
But I feel so sad, can this be right?
Cos I loved our days and I loved our nights
I loved it when you would hold me tight
And for a while our world seemed bright
I've heard alot about this girl
She gives you the run around for sure
And you're pushing me away
So I'm taking my love away
And I hope one day you find the things you really need
But I feel so sad my body aches
I feel so sad, like I could break
I hold on for another day but my whole world has blown away
But please remember I loved you dearly
Just wanted to kiss, to hold you near me

Let The Happiness In (David Sylvian "Secrets Of The Beehive")
I'm waiting on the empty docks
Watching the ships come in
I'm waiting for the agony to stop
Oh, let the happiness in
I'm watching as the gulls all settle down
Upon the empty vessels
The faded whites of their wedding gowns
The songs of hopeless selflessness
The cold December Sun
A cold that blisters
The hands of a working man wasted
I'm waiting on the empty docks
Watching the ships roll in
I'm longing for the agony to stop
Oh, let the happiness in,
Oh, let the happiness in
Listen to the waves against the rocks
I don't know where they've been
I'm waiting for the skies to open up
And let the happiness in,
Oh, let the happiness in

Is Jesus Your Pal (Slowblow "Quicksilver Tuna")
Is Jesus your pal?
Do you all out his name when your conscience is chivalry?
Do you need someone too?
Just like those people who find peace in someones promises
You sure dont need my promises
So come and sit on my box
Enjoy the view from this water where my lifeboat is sinking
If you open your eyes, take a look at this mess
Could you fake your reflection
If you reasch out for more, you find nothing but sorrow
Cause knowledge is hollow and pride is hard to swallow
So come and sit on my box
Enjoy the view of this water where my lifeboat is sinking

Spider & I (Brian Eno "Before And After Science")
Spider and I sit watching the sky
On our world without sound.
We knit a web to catch one tiny fly
For our world without sound.
We sleep in the mornings,
We dream of a ship that sails away,
A thousand miles away
We sleep in the mornings,
We dream of a ship that sails away,
A thousand miles away

Hanky Panky No How (John Cale - "Paris 1919")
If the sacheting of gentlemen
Gives you grievance now and then
What's needed are some memories of planing lakes
Those planing lakes will surely calm you down
And nothing frightens me more than religion at my door
I never answer panic knocking,
Falling down the stairs upon the law
What law?
There's a law for everything
And for Elephants that sing to keep
The cows that agriculture won't allow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow, oh
There's a law for everything
And for Elephants that sing to keep
The cows that agriculture won't allow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow, oh
Nothing Frightens me more
Nothing Frightens me more
Nothing Frightens me more
Nothing Frightens me more
