L'oeuf 03:48 video
He writes her letters He sings her songs And puts fresh flowers on the bed He holds her tight Holds her tight Kisses her goodnight She said her prayers Is that how love’s supposed to feel Is that how love’s supposed to feel And she not living And she not dead Another lifetime far away You lay you lay you lay Is that how love’s supposed to feel Is that how love’s supposed to feel

More Than Me 03:27
Did you even know You were on the moon I was underwater Making bubbles not sense Trying to speak Choking on the bubbles I made And laughing at my fool heart You couldn’t hear a word I said I wanted to cross the line this time Find a cure for this disease Defy gravity Reverse time I wanted to be the miracle Turn the dust to gold Swim the tidal wave Now as I lay down I am on the moon I am under water Burning light waking me From many shades of sleep Shaking off the dream with your name And laughing at my fool heart I couldn’t hear a word I said I wanted to cross the line this time Find a cure for this disease Defy gravity Reverse time I wanted to be the miracle Turn the dust to gold Swim the tidal wave Smooth a craggy stony heart Make the monster smile Turn the ice to fire Put a spell on you Make you love me more Than you love the dark But you love the dark You love the dark more than me Cross the line this time Find a cure for this disease Defy gravity Smooth a craggy stony heart

A Bell 04:20
Cautiously I ascend the ancient stairwell In the pale light of day Winding round and around I don’t know What I’ll find I’ve not travelled this way I must feel every step In a most balanced way Green moss slippens the stone Eventually I feel a cool breeze on my hand A new story is shown There’s a wall up ahead I can see as I walk ‘Neath a ceiling of cloud And a space in the wall Where a door may have been All that’s left of it now. What I feel keeps me moving ahead To the space What I fear I must know I try to breathe As I keep moving closer And once through the space I will go A Bell A Bell A Bell I can smell the rust Of the metal The rain and the salt In the wind I can see the happy The sad ones announcing To all to begin I can feel the glow On the face of the chosen one Tolling the bell I can feel the glow on my face A Bell A Bell A Bell Who am I by myself Who am I A Bell A Bell A Bell

I don’t want to kill another day Kicking up the first Feeling for the cracks Following the girls Will you meet me on the ground Underneath the moon The blue light on your face We are perfect Every time I hear you say you’re thawing Rather well I’m keeping on my coat As I wait for you to melt With a blow torch in my hand I cast a magic spell From inside the icy pool I swear I hear the bells You are my first love song No more complaining about What went wrong You are my first love song I’m gonna be yours too I’m gonna marry you I’m gonna I remember when I used to dream About a blue-eyed boy Who came from far away To kiss me on the cheek With a torchlight in my hand It always has been you Sometimes you work so hard But it’s worth it You are my first love song No more complaining About what went wrong You are my first love song I’m gonna be yours too I’m gonna marry you You are my first love song No more complaining About what went wrong You are my first love song I’m gonna be yours too I’m gonna marry you

Oh I have seen The seldom seen Deep in the woods They’re coming They are souls Gone underground Late is the hour They’re coming Through the trees Through the air Something chases me Who is there So far from home Storms brought us here Veiled in the air It's my voice A curse once made With daylight fades No more afraid When banshees wail Through the trees Through the air Something chases me Who is there Oh I have seen They’re coming They’re coming Something chases me Through the air Through the trees Through the air Oh I have seen Who is there Oh I have seen

Kiss Me 03:38
Isn’t it lovely Isn’t it grand You hide in the shadows You pull me Down on the sand And then you Kiss me Kiss me Jump in the big green sea The tide floats us in Wearing each other Oh what a luminous sin And then you Kiss Me You kiss Me Kiss Me Here we go Yeah Oh here we go Shhhh 44 kisses You gave me today A day to remember Long after we shimmer and fade (away) And then you Kiss Me Kiss me Come on and I wanna Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
7.
Ivy 04:59
Crept in my window I planted the seed I invited this Beg your forgiveness It’s not what I need It’s the devil’s kiss Ivy everywhere I turn around You follow me Ivy chokes the root I’m strangling in you Ivy Seed knows no reason Eventually it will kill the host In permanent slumber The me that you knew Who you needed most By the greed of you Ivy everywhere I turn around You follow me Ivy chokes the root I’m strangling in you Ivy

Every laugh Every want Every stare Every affair Every lovely touch ...is a lifetime ... is a lifetime Every blow Every devastation Every sorry Every despair Every release ...is a lifetime Every moment ...is a lifetime Every moment Every start Every intension ...is a lifetime Every moment ...is a lifetime Every moment ...is a lifetime Every moment ...is a lifetime Every moment

Amen 03:41
Be brave It will always stay the same Can’t remain Can’t make somebody change Without warning Struck like lightening On my knees I end this prayer Amen Don’t deny Or stop and wonder why Say goodbye It’s not worth another try Without warning Loud as thunder On my knees I end this prayer Amen Without warning Freedom’s ringing On my knees I fall for grace Amen

Harvey 05:01
The house on the bay is leaving Floating through space is a viking Down below him We are still here The box in the ground is sinking Gravity now leaves me thinking Oh where have you gone to We are still here You once told me we are mirrors What did you mean Harvey Harvey Harvey Harvey Harvey Harvey Harvey Whatever will you do Without you Whatever will you do Without you Whatever will you do Without you
