I fell in love with Soho
Dionysus’s co-host
Aurora’s sorrow
Is far from Soho
Put on your smile, fake it
Get in the room and take it
The door is open,
Go on, you’ll make it!
You don’t know where to go when you’re out on your own, all alone with cried out eyes
There’s a bar not too far where they’ll have any type of guise.
I’m looking for my So and So
My lover’s bliss, my mojo
The hardest thing is to let go
Running ’round and ’round in Soho

In my purse I keep a picture
Of a little girl that I used to know
That little girl is me
And I try to hold on to her as I grow
No trace, no sign I leave behind
In this house of yours
At your table, in my old room, in this town
I’m only a visitor
On my mind I keep a memory
Of how I feel when I love what I do
What a feeling to be in the right place
With the right people to share it with you
No trace, no sign I leave behind
In this heart of yours
My story, my song, my feelings, my words,
to you I’m invisble
Hail to the linesman,
Tell him to draw me a spine,
Tell him to simply get out of my way
And catch up with me in time
In my heart I keep a story
of silence and peace shared between two,
A story of love
I once had in mind for me and you
No trace, no sign I leave behind
On your skin
In your house, in your bed, in your arms, in your life
I’m only a visitor

I would like to be the girl
That you’d agree to love forever
Still your trials to capture all
My essence is a useless endevour
Can’t you see I don’t wanna be tied down
Don’t wanna let your fears make me turn around
In your plan I have a role that
Suits your every need and desire
The more you’re reaching for my heart
The more I want to cut the wire
With you every tiny step requires debate
What on earth makes you think that I will wait?!
Let’s move on!
Let’s move on together!
You say that love’s a heavenly gift to honour and be greatful for
Yet you seem like a deer in headlights always left with wanting more
Lover’s Kiss and lover’s Bliss and
Lover’s Miss aren’t far from each other
Very close but face to face
We’re always in the way of eacht other
As much as I like to look into your eyes
Much rather I’d have you by my side
Let’s move on!
Let’s move on together!

Astarte

She rolls through an aether of sighs
She revels in a region of sighs
She has seen that the tears are not dry
On these cheeks where the worm never dies
Aaaaah
She knows the colour palette back and forth
She’s travelled land and sea south to north
She’d never say she’d gone astray
She never thought about her way
But when she’s with you
She’s attached to you skin to bones
Takes you into her loving arms
And weeps with you as you fall apart
Oh, how my heart longs to be with Astarte
She sings the anthems in quarter tones
She greets the fossils in their stones
She dances to the music of planets
Singing to her from the unknown
Astarte
She rolls through an aether of sighs
She revels in a region of sighs
A long time has past
Since I met my soulmate last

Hannah's Hands
02:39
|

Daddy is rich and Ma is good looking,
But the tree in the front yard looks rather sad.
That’s nothing compared to the cracks in the house wall,
Daddy’s a miser and Mummy is mad
I’m digging deep, I know
All the things you don’t want to show
But Hannah’s Hands from foreign lands
They get it out, get it out
Daddy called painters to come and redecorate
So no-one can see the walls soaked in red
The garage with two cars to hold may seem generous
But Daddy’s a wino and Mummy is dead
I’m digging deep, I know
All the things you don’t want to show
But my love for you, all it can do
is get it out, get it out
Now that I’m speaking of secrets and horrors
Nobody’s listening or looking at me
The freak of the village dug over the front yards
Of every house in the village to be
And Hannah’s coming back
With her hands around my neck.
She won’t let go for now she knows
She’ll get it out, get it out.
We’re digging deep, we know
All the things you don’t want to show
But our love for you, all it can do
is get it out, get it out
