Christina lies down in the field Inside her mind all is concealed The skies are big but her world is small Doesn't know why they took it all What's it like in Christina's world? What's it like in Christina's world? The house alone up on the hill Never changing, like time stands still The room in which she feels her pain Calls her back time and time again What's it like in Christina's world? What's it like in Christina's world? And when the work is done Christina goes back inside She knows she wants to run But she'll have to hide What's it like in Christina's world? What's it like in Christina's world?

The gypsy girl with a mandolin Deeply slept under the desert moon She'd played her tunes and danced all night And dreamed her dreams in the morning light Hey don't wake the sleeping gypsy Hey don't wake the sleeping girl The lion said "come on and wake up soon" I want you to play me a gypsy tune I'm tired of hunting prey all day I want to dance around and play Hey don't wake the sleeping gypsy Hey don't wake the sleeping girl She kept on sleeping she wouldn't awake She dreamt of water in a mile wide lake The lion sat back in a rocking chair And brushed his mane of golden hair Hey don't wake the sleeping gypsy Hey don't wake the sleeping girl So if you're ever out in the desert sun And hear the sound of of a mandolin Don't be shy go and lend a hand And dance with lion on the burning sand Hey don't wake the sleeping gypsy Hey don't wake the sleeping girl

Summertime now has already passed It feels like it had just begun And now the days will much shorter last We'll not see much more of the sun The Autumn leaves are falling now Falling to the ground Rake them all in and then pile them all up And we'll get to the highest mound The apples that are for harvesting Give sweetness on to the tongue Gather them up and bring them in Now Autumn has truly begun The Autumn leaves are falling now Falling to the ground Rake them all in and then pile them all up And we'll get to the highest mound Goodbye to those warm and balmy days The bonfires will burn everywhere They'll be no more summer evening haze We'll soon feel the chill in the air The Autumn leaves are falling now Falling to the ground Rake them all in and then pile them all up And we'll get to the highest mound

Scream 02:53
There's a terror you're feeling deep inside It's enough to make your heart jump beats You're looking for a place to run and hide 'Cos you can feel them turning up the heat And the burning sun in the blood red sky Is heating up just for you You can't comprehend and you wonder why There's nothing you can ever do Hand over ears you try and hide your fears 'Cos no-one's gonna hear you scream Day and night you're gonna feel that fright 'Cos no-one's gonna hear you scream If you look behind you'll go out of your mind We'll follow you everywhere you go The Devil is watching, see what he'll find He'll keep waiting and he won't let go Anxiety is controlling you Can you ever cast it out? Are you one person or are you two? Trying hard to scream and shout Hand over ears you try and hide your fears 'Cos no-one's gonna hear you scream Day and night you're gonna feel that fright 'Cos no-one's gonna hear you scream And the burning sun in the blood red sky Is heating up just for you You can't comprehend and you wonder why There's nothing you can ever do Hand over ears you try and hide your fears 'Cos no-one's gonna hear you scream Day and night you're gonna feel that fright 'Cos no-one's gonna hear you scream

Apple blossom in the heat of springtime I saw you underneath the tree Your beautifulness Cast a spell on me The path led straight down through the garden The hills ahead were gleaming in the sun I wandered down But you'd already gone In a garden In your Shoreham garden Spring flowers herald in the sunshine The season of renewal is here to see I can't explain Are you just an allegory? In a garden In your Shoreham garden And as I walk away Did you see me at all? I wonder at The mystery of it all And as the blossom falls around us And Summer days are drawing near Will you be there? Or will you disappear In a garden In your Shoreham garden

We are sinking, sinking fast Going down with the mast Shipwrecked in the endless sea Hanging on to what we can Surviving is the fate of man Trying to get noticed Wondering what will be Holding on, holding on to the raft Holding on, holding on to the raft Floating on the endless wave Staring into the waiting grave Will we catch the eye Of the passing ships Holding on, holding on to the raft Holding on, holding on to the raft Salt increases the solar burn We are waiting for our turn Distant horizon Stay on top of the deep Holding on, holding on to the raft Holding on, holding on to the raft

Breezing Up 02:24
Hold the bar still boys Now I've got the steer The wind's getting up Yes it's strong around here We've caught a fair few Now we'll head back to shore We're high on the tide Just pull back some more It's breezing up Dark clouds in the sky They're coming our way boys Let's hope they pass by Breezing up We've got fish for our tea We'll soon have them sizzling The taste of the sea Look there's a schooner It's sails tall and proud Reaching so high They're near touching the clouds One day quite soon lads The sea will be yours To sail with a schooner Of that I am sure It's breezing up Dark clouds in the sky They're coming our way boys Let's hope they pass by Breezing up We've got fish for our tea We'll soon have them sizzling The taste of the sea

Miranda's now a hippy Alternative and trippy She wants to leave the London gloom And buy a house in Frome And take up permaculture Performance art and sculpture She'd put her faith in crystals And meet her friends in Bristol Miranda's now a hippy Miranda's now a hippy Miranda lives with Gerry He plays the ukelele They went to Glastonbury They'd seen it on the telly They lazed around all day While Gerry strummed and played She brought a tambourine To hit and join in Miranda's now a hippy Miranda's now a hippy Their food was all organic But once they had a panic Some tofu that they tried Was genetically modified Miranda's now a hippy Miranda's now a hippy

Pole Blues 02:41
Got a blinding light I just can't see Things are happening All 'round me The poles are moving I feel like I'm dead 'Cos the way they go I feel like there's a hammer in my head The blackened sky Way up above The iron fist In a velvet glove Can't tell the difference Between yellow and the red But all night long I feel like there's a hammer in my head The stars still shine But the milky way Will all collapse In some day There ain't no books I haven't read But with all that reading I feel like there's a hammer in my head They're reaching out Like lightening forks I try to shout Can barely talk That don't surprise me I'll do the other thing instead When the thunder roars I feel like there's a hammer in my head Just killing time Got time to kill Gonna start shooting Like Buffalo Bill Gonna fill them up With different types of lead It's hard to shoot when I feel like there's a hammer in my head
