Last Of The Humming Birds

He ran away, he was the last of the hummingbirds to say, I want out of this place, She ran away, she was the first girl at school to say, I can't stand the sight of my face, We get so hot in here, we feel like electrical storms, Packed like battery hens, My God, I must have hurt you so much, I never even felt when we hit the ground. All I see, Is all I need, Leading the occupation, Teaching them how to read, Beautiful shapes, Make mistakes, Feeding the combinations, Teaching them how to breathe. Last of the hummingbirds, The last of the hummingbirds. He watched them come, He watched them go to the factory through snow, As their breath turned cold, She watched him cry himself to sleep, every night at ten as he, Felt their love grow old, One thing I know, I'll watch my children grow into broke machines, If they have their way, I filled their heads with big ideas, that no government will hear, When the bomb goes off. All I see, Is all I need, Leading the occupation, Teaching them how to read, Beautiful shapes, Make mistakes, Feeding the combinations, Teaching them how to breathe. Last of the hummingbirds, The last of the hummingbirds. Then my friends you'll hear me, the end comes so clearly, Gather up your loved ones, tell them that it's time.

Police Dogs

Hooligans, quick on their feet, Hooligans, fresh from the street, Hooligans, armed to the teeth, Just want to dance with you, just want to dance with you. Marble Arch down to death row, Pity, but he just had to go, Oh, those boys they just never learn, They broke through the riot shields, broke through the riot shields. Police dogs, don't make a sound, Police dogs, ear to the ground, Police dogs, just out of sight, Are all alone again. Nobody's going to make it back home safe tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight. Nobody's going to make it back home safe tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, Police dogs, don't make a sound, Police dogs, ear to the ground, Police dogs, just out of sight, Are all alone again. Same old story comes to pass. Police dogs, don't make a sound, Police dogs, ear to the ground, Police dogs, just out of sight, Are all alone again

The Trigger

We are the IMF and there is money to be spent, With global strategies and tales of debauchment, And everybody knows where the poor boys go, Everybody knows where the poor boys go. We brought in engineers to fashion television hosts, We lost our bragging rights to karaoke songs, Just take it where you can, I'm your biggest fan, Take it where you can, I'm your biggest fan. He, He gives a, He gives a good autograph, autograph, a good autograph. I got my hand on the trigger and I know its mine, I take a walk to the city and I know its mine, I got the sun in the morning and I know its mine, I keep on talking to myself, everything is fine, I get the feeling that the fever's gonna blow my mind, I want to take you to a place where we never hide, You pick the bones from the morsels and the rest is mine, I need the trigger to determine when I cross the line. We touch like Siamese twins on the day of surgery, Our hearts will always be together from this day, The first time I saw you, I knew that we would never part, Let's leave all this behind and make a brand new start. This, This is the, This is the last time we will ever dance, ever dance, that we will ever dance. I need the trigger, need the trigger, need the trigger Thinks he wants it, Thinks he needs it, Thinks she ought to, Thinks she breeds it

Things We Lost In The Fire

All our furniture has gone, but that's okay. That's okay, we didn't need it anyway. All our furniture has gone, but I'll build it all again. I'll build it all again, and I know you'll understand. Our house has gone, but that's okay. That's okay, we didn't need it anyway. Our house has gone, but we'll build it up again. We'll build it up again, make a place for us to stand. The things we lost in the fire. The things we lost in the fire. Oh, my bones burned away, but that's okay. That's okay, I didn't need them anyway. My bones burned away, but I'll build them up again. I'll build them up again, if you can wait for me. Our love burned away, and you said that that's okay. That's okay, you didn't need it anyway. Our love burned away, but I'll build it up again. I'll build it up again with my heart and my hands. The things we lost in the fire. The things we lost in the fire. All the trust burned away and I find that I'm afraid. I find that I'm afraid like someone's standing on my grave. All the trust burned away and it's hard to build again. It's hard to build again when you find that you're in pain. It's hard to build again when you find that you're in pain. It's hard to build again when you find that you're in pain. The things we lost in the fire. The things we lost in the fire. The things we lost in the fire

Low Winter Sun

I'm running like a rabbit from the gun, I'm running like a rabbit from the gun, I'm running like a rabbit from the gun. The fields are clouded like a fire, there are spectres in this early morning light, the dogs are right behind me, I can hear them howl, I'm running like a rabbit from the gun. Low winter sun, low winter sun. I'm running like a man from his mistakes, duck my head down and pray that I escape, they're catching up to me, I'm sinking like the sun, I'm running like a rabbit from the gun. Low winter sun, low winter sun, low winter sun. I'm running like a rabbit from the gun, I'm running like a rabbit from the gun, I'm running like a rabbit from the gun, I'm running like a rabbit from the gun. Low winter sun, low winter sun, low winter sun.
