The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight In search of you, I feel my way, though the slowest heaving night Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense I reach through the border fence Come down, come talk to me In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf Come on, come talk to me Ah please talk to me Won't you please talk to me We can unlock this misery Come on, come talk to me {Chorus 1:} I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can't you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me [x2] The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone >From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no-one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me Won't you please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me {Chorus 2:} Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf and blind [And you act so deaf so blind] Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me [x2] I can imagine the moment Breaking out through the silence All the things that we both might say And the heart it will not be denied 'Til we're both on the same damn side All the barriers blown away I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me [x2] I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me [Chorus 2]Steam
Stand Back! Stand Back! What are those dogs doing sniffing at my feet They're on to something, picking up Picking up this heat, this heat {Chorus 1:} Give me steam And how you feel to make it real Real as anything you've seen Get a life with this dreamer's dream You know your culture from your trash You know your plastic from your cash When I lose sight of the track You know the way back But I know you You know your stripper from your paint You know your sinner from your saint Whenever heaven's doors are shut You kick them open but I know you {Chorus 2:} Give me steam And how you feel to make it real Real as any place you've been Get a life with the dreamer's dream Stand back! Stand back! Can't you see I've lost control I'm getting indiscreet You're moving in so close 'til I'm picking up Picking up this heat, this heat [Chorus 1] You know your green from your red You know the quick from the dead So much better than the rest You think you've been blessed But I know you You know your ladder from your snake You know the throttle from the brake You know your straight line from a curve You've got a lot of nerve But I know you [Chorus 2] Everybody nosedive Hold your breath, count to five Backslap, boobytrap, Cover it up in bubblewrap Room shake, earthquake Find a way to stay awake It's going to blow, it's going to break This is more than I can take Oh yeah, I need steam Feel the steam all around me Ah you're turning up the heat When I start to dream aloud See you move your hands and feet Won't you step into this cloud of steam This steam [Chorus 1] Help me yeah Ready to steam out the log jam Stir crazy from the freezer to the boil Water's bubbling, it's b..b..b..bubbling bubbling [x4] like it's coming to a boil Give me steam, lady Give me steam around me now Aah coming alive [x2] Said give me some steamAcross The River

I caught sight of my reflection I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start And the darkness still has work to do The knotted chord's untying They're heated and they're holy Oh they're sitting there on high So secure with everything they're buying {Chorus:} In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the union Oh the union of the woman The woman and the man My grip is surely slipping I think I've lost my hold Yes, I think I've lost my hold I cannot get insurance anymore They don't take credit, only gold Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see You hold so tightly in your hand And all the while the distance grows between you and me I do not understand [Chorus] At my request, you take me in In that tenderness, I am floating away No certainty, nothing to rely on Holding still for a moment What a moment this is Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I can hear the distant thunder Of a million unheard souls Of a million unheard souls Watch each one reach for creature comfort For the filling of their holes In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden We wanted the union Of the woman and the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden We've done everything we can In the blood of Eden Saw the end as we began With the man in the woman And the woman in the man It was all for the union Oh, the union of the woman, the woman and the man.Kiss That Frog

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information [I] just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." To keepin' silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Tho' my life was in a rut "Till I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" he said "Grab your things I've come to take you home." [Back home.] When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No on taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
