Soho 04:00
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

Visitor 03:54
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 03:38
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

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
