LAST PERFECT THING - A RETROSPECTIVE The Lyrics

CHAMBER OF HELLOS (K. Hunter / K. Herr)


Someone`s masquerading in the galleries today
Beside the arch it is always following me
It seems
Confusion dance and echoes ringing loud
So clear
Vaging on these loops are filled with
Empty dreams

In a chamber of hellos
In a chamber of hellos
In a chamber of hellos
In a chamber of

Such familiar feelings
Come and go
Betraying
Such familiar prayers said to the way
And gone
Someone`s masquerading in the galleries
Leave no one
Making all these moves when no one really
Hears hallo

In a chamber of hellos
In a chamber of hellos
In a chamber of hellos
In a chamber of

Hello hello hello
In a chamber of
In a chamber of

In a chamber of hellos
In a chamber of
Hello hello
Hello hello
Hello hello
Hello hello
Hello


NEVER (K. Hunter / K. Herr)


Eternal day belongs in silence
Silence days we sit and shelter
Endlessly
Possessively

And when she talks her words keep falling
When she fights with me
She fights with me and him
Not them

And promises to darkened night club
Or any edge to black
Never promise for us haunted
Or for stories
Talk about

Barron trains runout before me
I lift my head for shining silver
Silver beams
Ravishing

The voice of reason wanders in
The house of beam there and I`ll go there
Sleeping
Dreaming

Promises run endlessly
They`re words to make believe
And Christ is hanging everywhere
And it always ends in
Precious time

Never works for no one
Never works for no one
Never works for no one

No one ever
No one ever
No one ever
No one ever

Promises run endlessly
They`re words to make believe
And Christ is hanging everywhere
And it always ends in
Precious time

Never works for no one
Never works for no one
Never works for no one

No one ever
No one ever
No one ever
No one ever

No one ever
No one ever
No one ever
No one ever


I`LL DO YOU (K. Hunter / K. Herr)


We could go
Out to the garden dear
And if we love
I`ll be your little gentleman tonight
Magnetic eyes
Like cartridges without their shelves
Draw for me
Beside myself

Rails on rails
Walls on walls
Madness comes
Madness goes
I could make a horses head on all your friends
Tracks on tracks
Rain on rain
I live mine the way you say
I could make your words and turn and talk again

We could dance
Out in the darkness dear
And I know I
Do you better than you could ever dare
Night comes through
Like bitches picking pocketeer

I`ll do you
Beside yourselves

Rails on rails
Walls on walls
Madness comes
Madness goes
I could make a horses head on all your friends
Tracks on tracks
Rain on rain
I live mine the way you say
I could make your words and turn and talk again

I`ll do you
I`ll do you
I`ll do you
`cause you`ll do anything
I`ll do you
I`ll do you
I`ll do you
Yeah you`ll do anything

I`ll do you
I`ll do you
I`ll do you
`Cause you`ll do anything
I`ll do you
I`ll do you
I`ll do you
Yeah you`ll do anything


MR. SOUL (N. Young)



I`LL WAIT FOR YOU (K. Hunter)



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


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


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


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


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


SHE COMES ON (K. Hunter / Wire Train)


Prayin`
She`s been layin`
Across the face
Of a dangerous fall
Playin`
She`s been
Gyrating
When keeping still would kill
She will call
When passion kills my train of thought
And nerve is all I`ve got

Baby she comes on
Yeah she comes on
Wow baby she comes on

Waitin`
She`s been anticipating
The face of a dangerous fall
Sleeping
She`s been
Creeping
When keeping still would kill she will call
When passion kills my train of thought
And nerve is all I`ve got

Baby she comes on
Yeah she comes on
Wow baby she comes on

Taking her back to your place
And you know and you say you don`t know man
You`ve been lyin` for so long
Her ribbons and bows may have fell to the floor
But man you don`t know
Baby don`t break no more

Yeah well she comes on
Yeah well she comes on
Wow baby she comes on
She comes on
Yeah she comes on
I said she comes on
She comes on
Yeah she comes on


FLOWERS (Wire Train)



DIVING (K. Hunter / Wire Train)


Her precious bones lay like the coral sen
In visions of her broken memories
The hallway and hotel just stare and breath
The morning means Marie will take her leave

And she goes diving
She goes diving
For shelter from out lyin`
She goes diving
She goes diving
She goes diving
For shelter from out lyin`
She goes diving

The anailbox and the maids on River street
Remind her of the woman
Girlishly
The hallway and hotel just stare and breath
The morning means Marie will take her leave

And she goes diving
Diving
For shelter from out lyin`
She goes diving
Yeah well she goes diving
She goes diving
For shelter from out lyin`
She goes diving
Yeah well she goes diving
Diving
Diving
She goes diving
For shelter from out lyin`
She goes diving

Well the truth is hard to find
When you read the tale of mine
So you go to take a dive


SHE`S A VERY PRETTY THING (K. Hunter)


She put his ring to her finger
She put her wrist to the blade
She watches the clock now and wonders
Just when
Will she be
Saved
She wears his suit to the cleaners
She wishes her tattooes would change
She arranges herself on the canvas
But who
Will she get
For the paint

All along the bowline
They sing her melody
She`s a very pretty thing
She will never be denied
She`s a very pretty thing
Her smile knows what the river knows
And I don`t know why
She keeps whispering

Her phantom glory is fading
She melts from the frescoes to floor
The bread in a vault he`s been saving
The wine
He licks from the floor

All along the bowline
They sing her melody
She`s a very pretty thing
And she will never be denied
She`s a very pretty thing
Her smile knows what the river knows
And I don`t know why
She keeps whispering

She`s a very pretty thing


COMPASSION (Wire Train) feat. The Waterboys


The captain served the city steems
A matron sexual demons
A viscious presidency kneels

The end
The end
The end
What about
Compassion

The river burns the river bends
You look for enemies hide from friends
You think you`re virtue to the fence

The end
The end
The end
What about
Compassion

Good idea of good is bent
You better get yourself on the mend
Of all the hatred that you`ve spent

The end
The end
The end
What about

The best we think the word is fair
I know you say that you don`t care
What if there was no one there

The end
The end
The end
What about
Compassion

Yeah!
