Thieves

I consider the circumstance
And mold it into sound
And whatever the trappings are
I’m bound to shout it down
And say something beautiful
But it won’t make it true
It’s hard playing innocent
‘Cause I’m hell-bent on thieving
Why don’t we tell them
I have looked at the photographs
A hundred times or more
And they ruin the question so I
Throw them to the floor
And say something cynical
But it won’t make it true
I’m through being minimal
‘Cause I’m knocked down and bleeding
Why don’t we tell them

Shelter
05:52
|
|||
|
Tie the engine
To the balance of my blood
And do as you will
You have taken
All the silence for yourself
And swallowed the truth
I belong
To the shelter of my own
Somewhere in between
The feathers and the bone
Time oversees
Cover me
Tie me down in chains of gold
Fill me up with all the beauty
That you sold
So easily
Find the pathway
Where the river meets the trees
And wait for me there
We will climb the sky
Until it fades to black
And breathe in the air
(chorus)

Paper Roses
03:34
|
|
||
|
To seasons ever-changing
I am much obliged
So many forms been taken
Shed, and thrown aside
Paper roses
Rest in peace
Though my hopes
Lie withered on the vine
I wait on bended knee
Premonitions
Gone awry
I’ve seen meadows overgrow with time
But never cease to be
Beneath the black-eyed sun
Phantoms drift away
And chase the kestrel singing
Hollow forms astray
Paper roses
Let me be
Though my thoughts grow cold
From day to day
I want to make you see
Premonitions
Gone awry
I’ve seen meadows overgrow with time
But never cease to be

Play It Blind
05:20
|
|
||
|
Don’t ever blame it
On the lessons that you know
I’m aware of the reason
You don’t call my name
Go look through all the
Fancy dresses that you own
Is there one for the season
Or do they look the same
I won’t beg but I might wallow
How does it feel when you know
You can play it blind
I’ll never show the words
I’ve written on the wall
‘Cause I know when you see them
You might run away
In the end you’ll bleed me hollow
How does it feel when you know
You can play it blind

Trample On Daisies
05:17
|
|
||
|
I can see when I touch the fuse
Body blows turning black and blue
I’m a leper when the shades are drawn
But I won’t let it all
Drag me down this time
I see red cause I know it’s true
Whisper voices all undermine
You won’t hand me an axe to grind
But I won’t let it all
Drag me down this time
Come in closer
Listen to me
See the places I have bled
You play like children
Trample on daisies
Then you tell me it’s in my head

Yellow Woman

Yellow woman
Why have you replaced me
Don’t you find it cruel
You shiver when you face me
Draw the curtains in my room
Occupy my hands by
Breaking mirrors
In a hundred million places
Spread the pieces ‘round
But still I see the faces
Casting shadows in my mind
I can’t try to fake it
Listen to the radio airwaves
Do you hear the sound
Am I coming in clearly
You beat me to the ground
But it happened so slowly
Yellow woman
Do you hear me now
Garden lady
Woman of the country
Don’t you know it’s true
The bitterness still haunts me
River runs so deep and cold
I can’t try to trace it
(chorus)

Wandering High
03:07
|
|
||
|
Wandering high
Along a path of leaf and snow
We set out
In the cold morning air
Skies blue and grey
I wandered off alone and well
And felt the breath I hold so deep
Fade in the pines
Lady of the golden brown
Tell me how to push the sound away

Colors Of The Queen
04:18
|
|
||
|
Through windows in the hall
The surface of the lake
Painted gardens on the wall
And where the lion falls
The colors start to change
I will turn away from here
And dress the gypsy child
In colors of the queen
Able servant I’d become
But when the laughter died
I felt the cold embrace
Now I see the ghost again
Master of the change
You’re always chasing fireflies
Will it be the same
When seasons change and slowly die
Will it ever come again
When seeds that fall
Will turn to sand
Where the lion falls
Colors start to change
I will turn away from here
(chorus)

Ghosts Of Jupiter
03:12
|
|
||
|
Do you feel the drift of every living thing
Pull to either side
However strong the love you bring
Do the howls from different planets’ rings
Ever give you cause to fly
Away
Will you steer the flame
When every breath is drawn
And feel the beating wings
When all the birds have come and gone
Sing the song of every season’s change
Where the souls are laid to waste
Away
Can you see the force
That turns the seeds to green
Grinding stone to earth
The hands are felt but never seen
Do the ghosts that gather in the breeze
Ever give you cause to fly
Away

Passengers
05:59
|
|
||
|
Passengers gone for the day
Feel the wind and watch the banners rise
Fields turning green where they lie
Brings you down and makes you wonder why
All the faces that I’ve ever known
From the places where I used to dwell
They slow my hands
Setting seeds into the wind
I would do my best for you
You’re cold and settled in
There is nothing I can do
Sails in the wind
Alone on the rising tide
Passengers wander so fair
Over meadows under mountainsides
Fields burning soft where the stand
Makes you angry so you hold your eyes
And the reasons swarm like blackened birds
And I cut my tongue on bitter words
They slow my hands
Setting seeds into the wind
I would do my best for you
You’re cold and settled in
There is nothing I can do
Sails in the wind
Alone on the rising tide

After 3 albums, this is still their best work. Delicious nostalgic 60's psychedelia from start to end. Choosing a favorite track is next to impossible, since there are no bad ones.

How lucky of me to find this band, and what a shame it took them 8 albums for me to find them. In particular, I love the swagger/frivolity of their playing. Also the delicacy of the guitarist on some tracks (reminds of Stone Rebel at times) Fav track: I am the beyonder

The band’s fourth full-length album in as many years; an intoxicating LP of jazz-inflected twists and turns.
