BETWEEN TWO WORDS The Lyrics
LAST PERFECT THING (K. Hunter)
We could make cathedrals of shipyards
Pay our penance in tattooes
Never is a common place position
Seventeen are the shades in the sky of cold
Nebraska blue
She can make the flowers smell like heanven
We watch the box cars as they unload
We were laughing
Who`s the train was
Mornings come
Undone
In the last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
The bells ring
Days change
And I awake
The last perfect thing
We could steal the keys to the church
Tell Virgina we were bored
She can make the flowers smell like heaven
We saw the fire on the field that night
With a great and moving passion
Evenings come
Undone
Make it seem like
Make it seem like
Make it seem like
We were really there
In the last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
The bells ring
Days change
And I awake
The last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
The bells ring
Days change
And hide away
The last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
In the last perfect thing
SKILLS OF SUMMER (K. Hunter / K. Herr)
There`s an elevator here
Pocket for the rain
Taking all our hearts across this river
And back again
Making all our crosses clear of all our skeletons
I can still remember when
God was first you took on Sunday
She said
She said
Burning candles all around her bed
She said
She said
The end of May
We will begin again
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the new parade
In another season it`s the work of faith
Between our harnesses
And harmony
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the work of faith
We can burn the billboards advertising lite our lies
We can bury ourselves in each others eyes
We can hide our hearts
Hide our hopes and hide our dreams
I can still remember when
God was first you took on Sunday
She said
She said
Burning candles all around her bed
She said
She said
The end of May
We will begin again
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the new parade
In another season it`s the work of faith
Between our harnesses
And harmony
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the work of faith
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the new parade
In another season it`s the work of faith
Between our harnesses
And harmony
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the work of faith
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the skill of summer
It`s the skill of summer
WHEN SHE WAS A GIRL (T. Chauncey / K. Hunter / K. Herr)
Do you remember the working girl
She was a
Heroin for me
Kept herself in a violof water
Evidentially
She watched the boardwalk
As the children came to play
She wished for the years
That she had rent away
Outwardly
Yes you knew
Her
When she was a girl
And now she is no more
Do you remember her flashing smile
And the teeth she had behind
You remember her memories
But not her mind
The fish market wines
Always howl their cruel response
They look for victims they can hang it on
Outwardly
Yes you knew
Her
When she was a girl
But now she is no more
I`ve seen the dream or two
And I`ve watched the cars drive by the motorway
You can make both pride and predjudice
Your friend again
You can make a king of anyone
Outwardly
Yes you knew
Her
When she was a girl
But now she is no more
GOD ON OUR SIDE (B. Dylan)
My name it means nothing
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called Mid West
I was raised and brought up there
By Lords divide
And that the land that I lived in
Had God on it`s side
The history books tell
They tell so well
The cavalry charging and the indians fell
The cavalry charging and the indians died
The country was young then
With God on it`s side
The country was young then
With God on it`s side
The Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
Then we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In ovens they fried
The Germans now do
Have God on their side
The Germans now do
Have God on their side
I learnt to hate the Russians
All through my whole life
if another war comes
It`s then we must fight
To hate and to fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on our side
Accept it all bravely
With God on our side
Accept it all bravely
With God on our side
Accept it all bravely
With God on our side
Accept it all bravely
God on our side
Accept it all bravely
God on our side
No one
God on our side
No one
God on our side
LOVE, LOVE (K. Hunter / Wire Train)
Love her and her rosary
And I love her in her name
Love her in the voting booth
She`s president
Again
L. O. V. in morse code
With a hammer on his face
I can hear her footsteps leaving
Tapping out her hate
In all of this gentlemen
That I cannot see
Making up to Mary
While she`s making misery
Love love love
Love will stay with me
Love my lover love
Love love love
Love will stay with me
Love my lover love
Love is just a game of leaving
So she said and left
Love her all your lifetime
And you`ll love her in the end
Faith`s a hat you wear in April
And love is like the rain
Love her bridges breaking
Her prayers stays the same
And no love is gentleman
That I cannot see
Making out to Mary
While she`s making misery
And love
Love love love
Love will stay with me
Love my lover love
Love love love
Love will stay with me
Love my lover love
Love
Won`t stay with me
Love
Won`t stay with me
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
And love her love
I WILL (K. Hunter / K. Herr / A. Rundblad)
Between the morning and the dawn
Just a smoke to dray upon
Throw the curtains cast myself
Out across the fields and home
Remember when we were the child
Holding flowers to our heads
Think about the wrist you broke
And what you said
Cry for the time
I wish I could see your eyes
Cry for awhile
I wish I could
Wish I could
Wish I could
And if I say
I will
I will
In a word
I will return
To get revenge
I will
I will
And I know
I know
It won`t be long
Busted faces
Lying on the banks
Of a broken river dreams
Burlay out hands and
Burley out fires
Falling like the hallmark spring
Visitors keep on visiting
Please don`t worry bout me
I know that teeth are sharp and white
But I`m not sleeping
Cry for the time
I wish I could see your eyes
Cry for awhile
I wish I could
Wish I could
Wish I could
And if I say
I will
I will
In a word
I will return
To get revenge
I will
I will
And I know
I know
It won`t be long
And if I say
I will
I will
In a word
I will return
Daydreaming
I will
I will
And I know
I know
I`m
Coming
Home
Fade to me now
Breathless
The walk say that I`ll be coming home
They say they know what I don`t know
The walls say I explode
NO PRETTIES (K. Hunter / Wire Train)
The papers and
The Times
Are telling stories
All about a love
That was
Yours and mine only
And am I blind
As described
And not only lonely
To give up a heart
And arms
That could only hold me
No pretties here
No pretties here my love I`m sorry
No pretties here
No pretties here my love I`m sorry
No pretties here
No pretties here
Here my love
If you and I
Could find
The love that`s so strong
Then in this night
The time
Would not seem so wrong
The cool moonlight
The blinds
And an Irish love song
Serve to remind
You and I
Of a love that`s long gone
No pretties here
No pretties here my love I`m sorry
No pretties here
No pretties here my love I`m sorry
No pretties here
No pretties here
Here my love
No pretties here
No pretties here my love I`m sorry
No pretties here
No pretties here my love I`m sorry
No pretties here
No pretties here
Here my love
Here my love I`m sorry
Here my love I`m sorry
Here my love I`m sorry
Here my love
THE OCEAN (K. Herr)
Our tears can fill the valleys
Oceans they become
Forced to climb the mountain top
The weak are left behind
The swallowed cries of many things
Nightmares guiding light
The earth begins to tremble
And the pain can sting your mind
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
I can see the birds are flying
But I can`t hear them singing
Day by day
Falling apart
Hiding from our dreams
Looking for tomorrow when we
Haven`t seen today
Our strenght can fill the earthh
But do we even care
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Ocean
Ocean
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
Our tears our tears
Could fill an ocean
Our love our love
Can take this raging sea
TWO PERSONS (K. Hunter / A. Rundblad)
I found the mattress Robert Frost called it quits on
Sleep like a genious was all the sign said
I lit titanes between the percale and the pillow
We`re seeing the death
Of our deathleed
Two persons are too personal
Two persons
Two persons
Two persons are too personal
Two persons
Two persons
Somebody said
"Hey man you`re watching all your money"
"Now act your age" they said and I just said "I know"
I ran out screaming and I smashed her water cooler
Why be yourself if you`re not just doing what you`re told
Two persons are too personal
Two persons
Two persons
Two persons are too personal
Two persons
Two persons
Between your buttons and your bell bottoms you`re beautiful
You make me wish that I had learned how to fish
I see surrender in your eyes like a velvet painting
But even Jesus was betrayed by a kiss
I cross my fingers cross my hands cross myself for luck
My love leaves me alone she`s on the 5th floor
I saw your darling and you don`t sound so wonderful
When love comes knocking I just don`t get the door
Two persons are too personal
Two persons
Two persons
Two persons are too personal
Two persons
Two persons
Two persons are too personal
Two persons
Two persons
Two persons are too personal
HOME (A. Rundblad)
They came from afar across the water
They came from far across the land
And they brought their hope and their future
To the land where their dreams had gone
Some found peace and some found fighting
Some were lost along the way
And then some gave their souls for tomorrow
In the land where their dreams had gone
Some found wealth and some found nothing
Some were brought against their will
But they all had to take their chances
In the land where their dreams had gone
Every day they keep on arriving
Every day they`re on their way
Every day there`ll be people a searching
For the land where their dreams have gone
