Sleepyhead 04:27
lyrics

Sleepyhead has got nothing to say To the people that she calls friends My sister's got a rhyme today They say she doesn't know Sunset tells the end of day Now it's time for dark Heart And last night i cried myself to sleep Tears in my eyes were all i could see And in my life i walk a lonely street Tears in my eyes were all i could see Well them strings don't look bright now Fingers leave another stain Wish upon a star somehow Know it won't come true Autumn takes a final bow Leaves its mark on Me And last night i cried myself to sleep Tears in my eyes were all i could see And in my life i walk a lonely street Tears in my eyes were all i could see

Computer 03:31
lyrics

Look into my eyes and i'll show you something Don't take away my flies and don't jump on a spring I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore Eat more tobacco and throw yourself away Watch your own hand grow and never go out to play I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore Sing a sad song and give yourself a plan Find a shoe where you belong and telephone a man I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore

I Could Be A Fly 04:21
lyrics
download
Out of ordinary, wondering where Away with the fairies, avoid the Sun's glare You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly Don't you tell them my way results in Hell and debts to pay You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly

Hollow 03:42
lyrics

Don't you talk to me about anything You think that you are free as a bird on the wing Don't you look at me 'cos i'm not gonna cling to you Oh but i'm so hollow and i don't know why You don't even know me but i am ready to cry to you I don't think i care but i'm not so sure And i hurt at your stare 'cos you look so pure Don't you think it's fair that in the end you lose, do you? But i'm so hollow and i don't know why You don't even know me but i am ready to cry to you

The Last Day 07:05
lyrics

It's the morning of the last day now And the Sun shines through me Like my old man's dusty plough Cutting the open fields miles away I've reached boiling point I don't need to go on No need to get out of joint No seed to plant, grow long Don't throw yourself away Potential's something which you have to waste You have life in abundance, live it your own way Don't throw yourself, don't throw yourself away It's after the last day now And the rain pours down I must ease my tired mind now Before i start to throw myself away And my mother, she said to me: "Life is a struggle, come out on top" Go out and play with the hoople now When it rains don't forget to say Don't throw yourself away Potential's something which you have to waste You have life in abundance, live it your own way Don't throw yourself, don't throw yourself away Seems like years ago now Last day long since gone I need to get back there somehow And stop the rain that's washing away The Sun beats my brow down Makes me forget myself And i wonder, how it is now Will it always stay the same way? Don't throw yourself away Potential's something which you have to waste You have life in abundance, live it your own way Don't throw yourself, don't throw yourself away

Brief Ray Of Sunshine 05:39
lyrics

Hey, i was one quick ray of sunshine sailing quickly on a bird wing to you And i once saw the deep high sky reflecting the real sea's bare deep blue You could be my ideal woman, i have seen you through the moonlight I have wondered if you can blind the darkness and the evil from my sight And i saw in your dark brown eyes intelligence, more than i could picture And all the men in suits and ties will bring a flower of black velour You could be my ideal woman, i have seen you through the moonlight I have wondered if you can blind the darkness and the evil from my sight And i saw in your dark brown eyes intelligence, more than i could picture
