The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)
Migration slopes slowly towards mainland.
There, the salt air
Fills the gills of the dead bait in hand.
The deep is in riot, the coastline is quiet
Asleep and divided in bands.
While beer halls all revil, drunk and disheveled,
Helplessly wading the diver is down.
And they're chumming the oceans.
The signal is sent,
Recieved and repsonded to.
The water is red, red, red, red.
We're downed, downed as the hand of God
Chokes the driftwood with dead weight and brine.
And spawning the detailed decline
Via dorsal cuts,
Spanish Eddie
The Lucky One

Self Control
You can break away or you can stay
You choose your life, you're free to fly
Go on and fly
Go on and fly
She had it in her own time
To get away and try to find
Somewhere to go, to run
She saw the world through open eyes
And never let a soul inside
Don't come too close, so close
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Her soul was strong, her heart was tough
And when she felt she had enough
She tore herself away
Love in the dark is all you see
Get what you want, not what you need
You look the other way
Never letting on to what it's all become
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one
Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
