FUTURE PAST

INVISIBLE

Invisible invisible invisible invisible

Shy one walking by the wall
Shy one the shadows will not fall
Shy one is silently ignored

Quiet one discouraged by the noise
Quiet one living without choice
Quiet one is a life without a voice

When you can't even say my name
Has the memory gone?
Are you feeling numb?
Go on, call my name
I can't play this game
So I ask again
Will you say my name?
Has the memory gone?
Are you feeling numb?
Or have I become invisible?

Sky light that dreamers wish away
Hindsight is falling on my face
Highlights the shape of my disgrace

When you don't hear a word I say
As the talking goes
It's a one way flow
No fault, no blame
Has the memory gone?
Are you feeling numb?
And have I become invisible?

Invisible invisible invisible invisible

& no one hears a word they say
has the memory gone?
are you feeling numb?
not a word they say
but a voiceless crowd
isn't backing down
when the air turns red
with their loaded hesitation
Can you say my name?
has the memory gone?
are you feeling numb?
Have we all become invisible?

ALL OF YOU

How it kills when you ask me
am I goin to stay
& do I still want you baby
or was it all in play
got to tell ya you got so much
I don't wanna lose
if I had to pick the best bit
I really could not choose

I WANT EVERYTHING
ALL OF WHAT YOU DO
EVERY NIGHT EVERY DAY
I WANT ALL OF YOU

give me sacred motivation
with your deeper touch
talking dirty conversation
your looks say so much
so much more to this song’s meaning
I don't have time to say
hit the high note of my feeling
can't let this fade away

I WANT EVERYTHING
ALL OF WHAT YOU DO
EVERY NIGHT EVERY DAY
I WANT ALL OF YOU

yeh we got history
but we got mystery

like the sun like the sun we’ll burn
this much we have learned
like two souls among many others
like the sun we’ll burn

in that we are music lovers
this much we've learned
two souls among many others
like the sun we'll burn

I WANT EVERYTHING
ALL OF WHAT YOU DO
EVERY NIGHT EVERY DAY
I WANT ALL OF YOU

i want everything
give me everything
i want everything
give me everything
yeh we got history

yeah, I give it all up for you

we are pinned to an evening
that's running out of road
as the the last ray of light heads into dark
if it's closure you're craving
some message in the code
to fill the empty space in with your mark

yeah, l give it all up for you

standing on the edge of something greater than us all
down into the heart of universes we fall
falling with the fires trailing glory on their way
know that we are heading for tomorrow today

anyway lover what you think I'm gonna do?
when it's all over I give it all up for you
giving up believing
giving up completely
for you ... ooh

knowing that the world will keep on turning - going on
& we let the night forever burn when we're gone
burning with the stars that wander lonely on their way
know that life is heading here tomorrow today

anyway lover what you think I'm gonna do?
when it's all over I give it all up for you
giving up believing
giving up completely
for you ... ooh

yeah, I give it all up for you

& the sun beats down on skin & ground & anything between
and the moon looks down on broken vows
fills the space between us with that cold blue shine
and I can’t remember how our love felt at the start
no I can't remember

anyway lover what you think I'm gonna do?
when it's all over I give it all up for you
giving up believing
giving up completely
for you ... ooh

ANNIVERSARY

come celebrate this union
come holy and unchained
how do you know - stay or go
keep riding on the train

what does it take beneath the skin
to keep from letting go
some moments burned into the storm
& some you’ll never know

ah-ah doo-doo doop doo-doo
ah-ah doo-doo doop doo-doo

all our days ANNIVERSARY
celebrate ANNIVERSARY

across the world on radio
for anyone to hear
we are the song, so bring it on
once more be close & clear

all our days ANNIVERSARY
celebrate ANNIVERSARY
it's our time ANNIVERSARY
yours & mine ANNIVERSARY

celebrate with silver, oak and bone
celebrate with paper, gold & stone
it may not seem like much
it may not seem like much at all
it may not seem like much but it's everything to us

all our days ANNIVERSARY
celebrate ANNIVERSARY
all our days ANNIVERSARY
celebrate ANNIVERSARY
it's our time ANNIVERSARY
yours & mine ANNIVERSARY

FUTURE PAST

rain streams down the window
& I recall the day we ran & how
on Brownsea Island meadow
you couldn't catch me then - you wouldn't catch me now

if it's only memory
echoing down the hallway
in whisper as you come to me
we are growing closer

so don't you cry
for what will never last
each moment created in time
it's all a future past
that we are living now

change is coming down the line
I give thanks if that much stays the same
this life is not to our design
could not have known it then - but now I see it plain

if all we are is memory
doorways on a garden
the flowers of a century
we are growing stronger

so don't you cry
for what will never last
each moment created in time
it's all a future past
that we are living now

so don't you cry
for what will never last
each moment created in time
it's all a future past

so lay your gaze
on what will ever last
each moment in time we create
it's all a future past
& we are living now

VELVET NEWTON

Instrumental + incidental lyrics

This is how it starts!

It can be normal
Feel all around
It can be normal
Deal all around
It can be normal
Fear all around

BEAUTIFUL LIES

you walked into this plastic paradise
deceiver or truth-dealer, you decide
& now you're in my head, what does that say?
about the kind of games we came to play

What does it mean? How do I survive?
In your beautiful dream; in your beautiful life
I wanna come clean when I look in your eyes
I wanna believe in your beautiful lies

But I can only be here for so long
the more I stay - the more I don't belong
As the drums announce we are trapped inside a snare
I realise you're the bait which got me there

What does it mean? How do I survive?
In your beautiful dream; in your beautiful life
I wanna come clean when I look in your eyes
I wanna believe in your beautiful lies

always in your scheming the pleasure & the price
but all that I am feeling is more than paradise

always in my dreaming you taste like cherry ice
all while I am being a scream in paradise
always in your scheming the pleasure & the price
but all that I am feeling is more than paradise

TONIGHT UNITED

hey now! if you are, a child of, the world
born to build bridges & tear down the walls

we watch the outmode of the old order
We make a song road to cross all borders

nah na na nah na na nah na na nah - UNITE
nah na na nah na na na nah nah na na nah - TONIGHT

If you wanna make a difference, if you wanna see a future coming round
got to see it from a distance, got to do it walking barefoot on the ground

YOU & I TONIGHT
NO WAY TO FIGHT IT
WE COME TOGETHER
TONIGHT UNITED

WING

she'll never know what’s eating me alive
a hungry demi-god that will not be denied
I am foundering on the absence
of desire meant for me
laid bare imagination for all to see

where does she sleep?
& where does sleep find she?
maybe I want my bitter visions to come real
on a pilgrimage of lusting
that should’ve come my way
but my mind, it is a gaol called Jealousie

on a wing of innocence fly me out of here
surrendered faith but I'm holding dread
& I pray to consequence if my voice you hear
for a better man to be in my head

I'll never show the knife that's deep inside
how with its twist the more it cuts away at pride
like a rabid dog at communion
that we could not hide away
the family's secret bloodstained history

on a wing of innocence fly me out of here
I surrender faith but I'm holding dread
& I pray to consequence if my voice you hear
for a better man to be in my head

surrendered faith but I’m holding dread
for a better man to be in my head

NOTHING LESS

paved Nirvana, romance on the phone
faces in their passing can tell you don't belong
waiting in the deep end, drowned in monochrome
if anyone could save you, anyone at all

I want to thank you for all the loving baby
What am I what am I gonna do
coz nothing gained ain't lost at all oh
What am I gonna do
& when it comes to indecision
What am I what am I gonna do
tomorrow maybe there'll be nothing less & nothing more

waking to the same room a fixture in the view
something from my dreaming that I recognise in you
does it even matter if we make it to the end?
if we're carved in living rock, or just lines drawn in the sand?

I want to thank you for all the nothings baby
What am I what am I gonna do
coz nothing gained ain't lost at all oh
What am I gonna do
& when it comes to indecision
What am I what am I gonna do
tomorrow maybe there'll be nothing less & nothing more

I want to thank you for all the loving baby
What am I what am I gonna do
coz nothing gained ain't lost at all oh

you don't have to say something, I don't really mind
you don't have to try

I don't have to say nothing, you don't really mind
I don't need to try

I want to thank you for all the nothings baby
What am I what am I gonna do
coz nothing gained ain't lost at all oh
What am I gonna do
& when it comes to indecision
What am I what am I gonna do
tomorrow maybe there'll be nothing less & nothing more

LAUGHING BOY

time ain't gonna wait for even you my friend
I can't stay late I'm looking at the end
ace high hypnotised & sucked into that scene
taking on a 'guise - it wasn't really me

hard years later & we're still hanging on
for The St Jackpot score that's never gonna come

not running away now
been running all day
but it's falling apart now
it's been coming all day

oh I have been your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - accepted gracefully
and all the heat that you deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break

cooking fires on the beach - smoke finger in the sky
y'know that's where I should be my baby by my side
good times from the start - remember yeh? - but now
the Palace Gang's back to old things - tha's my cue - I'm gettin out in style

for I have been your laughing boy - your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - your laughing boy - accepted gracefully
And all the heat that you deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break

not running away now
been running all day
but it’s falling apart now
it's been coming all day

oh I have been your laughing boy - your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - your laughing boy - accepted gracefully
and all the heat that you deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break

for I have been your loving boy - your laughing boy
I took it on the chin - your laughing boy - accepted gracefully
take all the heat you can deploy - your laughing boy
the more I take - your laughing boy - the more I break

HAMMERHEAD feat. Ivorian Doll

Bang bang boomerang come search & destroy
Hit man knockin down the blue in my sky
Glide by dragon eye see the great empty space
Man-shape the vanities which you lay to waste

HAMMERHEAD come HAMMERHEAD
oh you come show me my truth (I’m comin for you)
wearing my skin (wearing my skin)
wearing my face (wearing my face)
oh what part of me has made you?

you’re mine, you’re mine,
you’re mine, you’re mine

boom boom lay me down in an ocean of blame
good nights shanghaied bikinis aflame
some feel safer in close by the shore
but I wanna be rescued from this shallow uproar

HAMMERHEAD come HAMMERHEAD
oh-oh you come show me my truth (I’m comin for you)
Wearing my skin (wearing my skin)
wearing my face (wearing my face)
oh-oh-oh what part of me has made you?

I’m the marrow to your bone, voice set in stone
this is the inevitable – something you already know
the pain is immeasurable, you’re gonna pay the toll
when it’s all said and done, my name is written on your soul
feel the pressure, might sing deep – I do the damage for the better
pulled away, leave you heavy as a feather
you’re mine, you’re mine we’re together
baby it’s forever

no-no shelter from that withering gaze
when it’s my own Hammerhead my Modesty Blaise
In the name of all the women I’ve known
The woman inside of me is out to take me down

HAMMERHEAD come HAMMERHEAD
oh-oh you come show me my truth (I’m comin for you)
Wearing my skin (wearing my skin),
wearing my face (wearing my face)
oh-oh-oh what part of me has made you? (I’m comin for you)

I’m comin I’m comin I’m comin I’m comin
I’m comin’ for you

INVOCATION

why
I think about
you do this thing for me
great wanderer
alone
out of sight
all of my vice
violently
broken down
for you
to devour

MORE JOY! feat. Chai

Shudder in dream
The crying storm
Lightning strikes a kiss
between this world and yours

Whisper unseen
Mystery train
Delirious scream like a nightjar's broke refrain

Rorschach clowns
A smudge in the grey
Frantic we swim in a TV power game

I know where this is goin’
MORE JOY!
I'm lookin’ at you
I like where it's goin’
MORE JOY!
Are y’comin too?

Woah oh oh oh
MORE JOY!
ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

FALLING feat. Mike Garson

on a white beach under the sun
on a wide bed what will become?
half awake & half in a dream
about falling into something

oh is this how it all begins?
with a quiet explosion within
like a raindrop falling on skin
am I falling into feeling

falling to my senses - you fill up the heart of me
if you know the answer - show me who I wanna be
I can't say that is love enough to dedicate

spent a lifetime waiting for this
on a beeline to a first kiss
for a taste of your honey-dew-bliss
I'll be falling into feeling

summer perfume that you wear
your so-in-bloom you're filling the air
with a whisper that I wanna share
coz I'm falling into something

falling to my senses - you fill up the heart of me
if you know the answer - show me who I wanna be
I can't say that is love enough to dedicate?

doo doo doo doo doo

falling to my sense - you fill up the heart of me
if you know the answer - show me who I wanna be
I can't say that is love enough to dedicate
Can I say this is love enough to dedicate?
