70 Million 04:36
And it hardly looked like a novel at all I hardly look like a hero at all and I’m sorry you couldn’t publish this and you were white as snow I was white as a sheet When you came down in this black dress In your mum’s black maternity dress And so Though it hardly looked like a novel at all if this city treats me it treats me to you and a cup of coffee for you I should learn its language and speak it to you 70 million should be in the know 70 million don’t go out at all 70 million wouldn’t walk these streets 70 million would grind to a halt 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong 70 million never see at all 70 million haven’t tasted snow And dance dance dance like the children dance imply a thought are we taking a chance? with the light still on and will we ever reach the tower? And after you came down in this black dress I don’t know what took so very long And this And this isn’t war we don’t have to ration I waved the white flag and you kept it at home and thus I wrote from a foreign land you’re holding my no longer foreign hand

Baby Come to me Come with me And come near me I said baby I’ve got a ticket I’m going to teach you I’m going to treat you I’ve got a ticket got a ticket got a ticket got a ticket for you I’ve got a ticket got a ticket got a ticket and I hope you know what to do Cause he likes boys and he don’t even know it And she likes girls and she don’t even know it He don’t like girls and boy he don’t show it Cause he likes boys and girl you really blew it I was hoping this was just a phase I was hoping they would come and just look the other way And I know I know I know it’ll never be the same Cause those cigarettes and lies, we were out of phase. But baby Come to me Come with me And come near me I’ve got a ticket got a ticket got a ticket got a ticket for you I’ve got a ticket got a ticket got a ticket and I hop you know what to do Cause he likes boys and he don’t even know it And she likes girls and she don’t even know it He don’t like girls and boy he don’t show it Cause he likes boys and girl you really blew it I was hoping this was just a phase I was hoping they would come and just look the other way And I know I know I know it’ll never be the same Cause those cigarettes and lies, it was just a shame But oh it’s over now And we’ll never ever know how But it’s over now And we’ll never ever ever know the joys, or the toys or the boys That they promised to us That they promised to us That they promised to us

And we turned around again we were facing colder climes we carved new plans in the wood of this table And it came as a surprise we were kind to one another we were kind to foreign faces we were romanced older times And your hands they radiate were they planning your escape? there were new lines being carved on the edges of your face Within the four walls of this cage everything is kept in place every beat that resonates is soon replaced And we thought we were hunters not kings With no borders with no past to call our own but we carried in this cage allies and foes and we carried on our backs our past mistakes We tore this dress at the seams with a bicycle chain We wore this chain around our necks to remember this stain We stained our land with the blood of strangers unnamed We dressed our wounds with the skin of our daughters and sons

They were looking for a change of pace oh we’re all waiting for better days well the kids were acting like animals and there were envious eyes in this big church hall and tombstones in the cold take on new lives this house it smells of smoke in the winter time and you were calling me with a brand new voice and so I scraped my knees when from this bed I rose And you would destroy scraps of metal hearts pieces and pieces it was a good start the path to this house it rose it bent we were never quite certain of what that meant and the cemetery floor was strewn with leaves and the body underneath them they fed the trees and you will take in all the pictures of these winter days but you won’t carry them to Massachusetts Bay And in spite of the red coats we took a chance Because none of this is real if we don’t take a stand It’s a fragile earthly being that could break with a glance But none of this is real if we don’t take a stand And we swam to this ocean we took a leap and far from these shores there is saltwater in my lungs and we swam to this ocean we swam from home there are no familiar faces on these foreign island shores And we fell silent and we felt the shame our fingers they bent and nothing will change and we drowned in a bottle as big as an ocean it was all very subtle it was all very strange And I’ll follow up/ oh why follow up and my heart beat beat beat it will sing sing sing sing sing

Open Water 05:24
Well we swam towards open water did you keep your eyes open did you keep them now? there were no traces of footsteps left because we melt on ice and we’ll swim in spring and there is melted ice between me and them there is melted ice can we forget about me? and I’m not coming coming coming home, I couldn’t call it call it call it home anymore and sitting across the table from you again was it me ranting and raving again? and sitting across the table from you again was it me ranting and raving again? it seems you’ll have to pick me up I’m sorry you’ll have to pick me up again.
