LYRICS OF 'THYMES TEN'

                                                                         

Edge

If you take your pen out and scribble
Your name here you never know when we’ll cross again
On your global travels you’re gone again
No time to spend talking to me

We made it work when a whole lot fell
We lost the edge to catch the weary out
And all the colours blend to black keep your head
The only one like your oldest son
When you’re the only one to have begun
And you’re standing at the sink with your makeup on.

If you take your bible out complete the picture
Since time began repercussions
Explain to me what you think’s wrong with me
Memory won’t help me

We made it work when a whole lot fell
We lost the edge to catch the weary out
And all the colours blend to black keep your head
The only one like your oldest son
When you’re the only one to have begun
And you’re standing at the sink with your makeup on.

We made it work when a whole lot fell
We lost the edge to catch the weary out
And all the colours blend to black keep your head
The only one like your oldest son
When you’re the only one to have begun
And you’re standing at the sink with your makeup on

 

Dining

Dining with you I can’t get over
Panic blinded as ever before
Trigger testosterone I never had
And everything floods back into focus

When you begin living anew again
Undo the chains tied to the funeral
You wore your heart I only borrowed it

Negative are the feelings I remember
Magnelite is what’s needed in the thick of it
Accurate to light the tunnel like a needle
Piercing light a lazy night by the fire side

When you begin living anew again
Undo the chains tied to the funeral
You wore your heart I only borrowed it

When you begin living anew again
Undo the chains tied to the funeral
You wore your heart I only borrowed it

When you begin living anew again
Undo the chains tied to the funeral
You wore your heart I only borrowed it

 

Go Honey

I would have thought that you would have made
A scene or two of differences too
We’ve come through so good
I’m reaching out for you it’s true
I’m one domestic boy and you’re Helen of Troy
Replaying history the way it’s meant to be
We’ve come through so good I’m reaching out for you
That makes two

Go Honey fa so la te go honey
Far as you can go honey
You will never know

Someone should’ve said the world was not your oyster
You must have been so gullible in your earlier existence
And you are one of one one of one makes two
I’m reaching out for you
The mirrors on the ceiling do justice to your feelings
You’re squinting your eyeballs in the ultra violet toilets
But your veins are invisible eni meani minee mo
It takes you

Go Honey fa so la te go honey
Far as you can go honey
You will never know

Go Honey fa so la te go honey
Far as you can go honey
You will never know

 

God Damn

Waiting for him to phone
You’re feeling alone
You really need someone
You know you’re not skinny
You wanna look pretty you put
Some makeup on your face
You have no money you look so funny
And everybody’s pointing a finger

God damn what a thing to do
God damn from me to you
God damn

Artificial confidence
A new improved appearance
A better figure in Polaroid
So when you smile
You’re not too sure of yourself
A part of innocence
And when you are low
Y ou want to show
T hat you’re the one and only

God damn what a thing to do
God damn from me to you
God damn

God damn what a thing to do
God damn from me to you
God damn
God damn what a thing to do
God damn from me to you
God damn
God damn what a thing to do
God damn from me to you
God damn
God damn what a thing to do
God damn from me to you
God damn

When you are low
Y ou want to show that you’re the one and only

 

Homemaker

Should you be the jewel of the sea
But you can’t help it
Or the star of the County Down
Someone told me the story
Like a satellite
Spinning orbits circling out of control

You could fit this place the way it ought to be
You’re a homemaker that’s all I want to be
That’s all I ever wanted to be

You’re my right hand you’re my honesty
You’re so slippery
Dying stars so spirited
You’re a window I see through you
A book that nobody reads
And everything comes to you so easily

You could fit this place the way it ought to be
You’re a homemaker that’s all I want to be

You could fit this place the way it ought to be
You’re a homemaker that’s all I want to be
That’s all I ever wanted to be

 

Nails to the Quick

Pictures in rows around the room
Stare at aspirins for days
Frightened of saying the wrong thing
Fear of staining everything
I see it clearer than before
Spray-on faces for friends
Chew down my nails to the quick
Makes it hard to play guitar

Chop down the tree it won’t grow again
Kill a pop star they’re all the same
Take over the world so easily
Follow the leader in me
I feel like the bed is spinning
Painkillers kicking in
Wet dreams are what we’re reduced to
I feel like I need a rest from you

 

Orange Peel

I could take you to foreign places
Where the weird and wonderful live
And I could tell you stories
To make your worries disappear
Aborigines in Australia
Claim to understand dream time
But me I believe in dead time
That’s when we know it’s our time

I feel there’s something wrong with me
I want it to take hold
Death by old age or a stroke
I’ll never give up hope

I could creep into your bedroom
And flip through your photographs
I could be in the bed with you
And you wouldn’t stand a chance
And I could follow your every move
For you live in my head

I feel there’s something wrong with me
I want it to take hold
Death by old age or a stroke
I’ll never give up hope

Ah…oh…

I feel there’s something wrong with me
I want it to take hold
Death by old age or a stroke
I’ll never give up hope

I feel there’s something wrong with me
I want it to take hold
Death by old age or a stroke
I’ll never give up hope

 

Seen It All

Summer’s almost on us
A nother year goes further on
Simple things are mostly out of reach
Have you ever wondered what makes me hold on
Perhaps I’m not the one you should be asking
I’m comforting I’m calm but I’m insecure
I’m a hypochondriac looking for a cure

And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s another one to top ‘em all
Never one around when you want it
And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s another one to top ‘em all
Never one around when you want it

Break

Waiting for the call watching the rain fallin’
Wading out of my depth in the sea of hopelessness
Notes on the mantle next to the timetable
Beside the carton of ocean spray

And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s another one to top ‘em all
Never one around when you want it
And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s another one to top ‘em all
Never one around when you want it

Harp A – Verse

And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s another one to top ‘em all
Never one around when you want it
And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s another one to top ‘em all
Never one around when you want it
And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s another one to top ‘em all
Never one around when you want it

 

The Gathering

Pride was torn love unaccustomed
Drive the stake, I apologise
To the walls, I’ll derive
My cantor and harmonise
To the flaws, no fault of my own
To the barriers, they’re mine to bear
And the insect divides my funeral rites
I’d repent, if I can

So come be counted come to the gathering
Come be counted

The obvious option eludes me
Some and most of the time
But captors are we, we defend our own
For fear of years alone
Myth or fact / it’s all an act
An act I’ll try and better
And the years are fraught with fear
No purpose, no purpose

So come be counted come to the gathering
Come be counted

Break

So come be counted come to the gathering
Come be counted
So come be counted come to the gathering
Come be counted

Break

Divide and conquer, I don’t believe in anyone else
To know is to know that my heart never melts
And I need you inside to monger my motives
Hide a part of me you know I can’t decide
A victim of the system I am in spite I’ll never forgive
But I need you inside

 

Young

Harp G

You got what you wanted and it almost seems a lifetime away
I got a smack in the mouth and I can still feel the bruise today
I never needed you, you see I’ve gone right off you gone up market
I’ll watch some television some mindless television take me away

How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re young
How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re young

You’ve got a new perspective a new way about everything
You got a way about you I could see myself suffering
Maybe I’ve lost myself maybe I’m so obvious
At least I humour you at least I try to take you away

How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re young
How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re young

Harp Break

How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re young
How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re young
How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re still young
How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re still young
How can you be so cold and heartless and old
Don’t you know you’re still young
