Long Tailed Winter Bird

Do you, do-do, do you miss me?
Do you, do-do, do you feel me?
Do you, do-do, do you miss me?
Do you, do-do, do you feel me?
Do you, do-do, do you miss me?
Do you, do-do, do you feel me?
Do you, do-do, do you trust me?
Do you, do-do-do

Do you, do-do, do you miss me?
Do you, do-do, do you feel me?
Do you, do-do, do you miss me?
Do you, do-do, do you feel me?
Do you, do-do, do you miss me?
Do you, do-do, do you feel me?
Do you, do-do, do you trust me?
Do you, do-do-do

Pretty Boys

Look into my lens
Give me all you got
Work it for me, baby
Let me take my best shot

Meet the pretty boys
A line of bicycles for hire
Objects of desire
Working for the squire
You can look, but you'd better not touch

'Cause here come the pretty boys
They gonna set your world on fire
Objects of desire
Preaching to the choir
They can talk, but they never say much

Strike another pose
Try to feel the light
Hey, the camera loves you
Don't put up a fight

There go the pretty boys
A row of cottages for rent
For your main event
They're what the angels sent
You can look, but you'd better not touch

Look into my lens
Try to feel the light
Hey, the camera loves you
It's gonna be alright

Oh, here come the pretty boys
A line of bicycles for hire
Objects of desire
When they're working for the squire
You can look, but you'd better not touch

The pretty boys (you'd better not touch)
The pretty boys (but you'd better not touch)
The pretty boys

Women and Wives

Hear me, women and wives
Hear me, husband and lovers
What we do with our lives
Seems to matter to others
Some of them may follow
Roads that we run down
Chasing tomorrow

Many choices to make
Many chains to unravel
Every path that we take
Makes it harder to travel
Laughter turned to sorrow
Doesn't get me down
Chasing tomorrow

When tomorrow comes around
You'll be looking at the future
So keep your feet up on the ground
And get ready to run

Now hear me, mothers and men
Hear me, sisters and brothers
Teach your children and then
Make 'em pass it to others
Some of them may borrow
Tears you hand them down
Chasing tomorrow

Hear me, women and wives
Hear me, husband and lovers
What we do with our lives
Seems to matter to others
Some of them may follow
Roads that we run down
Chasing tomorrow
Get ready to run
Chasing tomorrow
Get ready to run

Lavatory Lil

Look out for Lavatory Lil
(Look out for Lavatory Lil)
You think that she's a winner when she's cooking you you're dinner
But she's really moving in for the kill
Lavatory Lil

Watch out for Lavatory Lil
(Watch out for Lavatory Lil)
She says it's hunky-dory when she's telling you a story
But she really thinks you're making her ill
Lavatory Lil

If you saw her coming at you, you would look the other way
But it isn't easy when she's rollin' in the hay

So much for Lavatory Lil
(So much for Lavatory Lil)
You think she's being friendly, but she's looking for a Bentley
And she robbed golden swallowing pill
Lavatory Lil

If you saw that she was coming, you could get up off the track
But it isn't easy when she hits you in the back

That's it for Lavatory Lil
(That's it for Lavatory Lil)
She's acting like a starlet, but she's looking like a harlot
As she's slowly heading over the hill
Lavatory Lil

Lavatory Lil

Deep Deep Feeling

You know that deep, deep feeling
When you love someone so much, you feel your heart's gonna burst
The feeling goes from best to worst
You feel your heart is gonna burst

Here in my heart (oh)
I feel a deep devotion
It almost hurts (oh)
It's such a deep emotion

Slidin'

I know there must be other ways of feeling free
But this is what I wanna do, who I wanna be
Every time I try, I feel like I can fly
But I know that I could die trying

I'm slidin', glidin' through the air
I can see my body through windows in my hair
I'm slidin', glidin' through the air

I know nobody's dancing here but us dragonflies
We're the only ones awake, we own the skies
Every time I try, I feel like I can fly
But I know that I could die trying

I'm slidin', glidin' through the air
I can see my body through windows in my hair
I'm slidin', glidin' through the air

Slidin', glidin' through the air
I can see my body through windows in my hair
I'm slidin', glidin' through the air

I can feel my body burn glidin' through the air

The Kiss of Venus

The kiss of Venus has got me on the go
She's scored a bullseye in the early morning glow
Early morning glow

Packed with illusions, our world is turned around
This golden circle has a most harmonic sound
Harmonic sound

And in the sunshine when we stand alone
We came together with our secrets blown
Our secrets blown

Now moving slowly, we circle through the square
Two passing planets in the sweet, sweet summer air
Sweet summer air

And in the sunshine when we stand alone
We came together with our secrets blown
Our secrets blown

Reflected mountains in the lake
Is this too much to take?
Asleep or wide awake?
And if the world begins to shake
Would something have to break?
We have to stay awake

Packed with illusions, our world is turned around
This golden circle has a most harmonic sound
Harmonic sound

And in the sunshine where we stand alone
We came together with our secrets blown
Our secrets blown

The kiss of Venus has got me on the go
She's scored a bullseye in the early morning glow
Early morning glow

The kiss of Venus has got me on the go

Seize the Day

I don't care to be bad
I prefer to think twice
All I know is it's quite a show
But it's still alright to be nice
Yankee toes and Eskimos can turn to frozen ice

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
Seize the day

I don't mean to be wrong
I don't need to be right
I'm okay on a sunny day
When the world deserves to be bright
Dinosaurs and Santa Claus will stay indoors tonight

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
Seize the day
Seize the day

I bless the day when you came into my life
And I could finally roll back the blind
You helped me to realize that love was the greatest prize
I only had to open my mind

Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day
Seize the day

I don't care to be bad
I prefer to think twice
All I know is it's quite a show
But it's still alright to be nice
Yankee toes and Eskimos can turn to frozen ice

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
Seize the day
Seize the day

Winter Bird / When Winter Comes

Must fix the fix the fence by the ache of plot
Two young foxes have been nosing around
The lambs and the chickens won't feel safe until it's done

I Must dig a drain by the carrot patch
The whole crop spoils if it gets too damp
And where will we be with an empty store?
When winter comes

When winter comes
And food is scare
We'll warn our toes to stay indoors
When summer's gone
We'll fly away
And find the sun
When winter comes

I must find the time to plant some trees
In the meadow where the river flows
In time to come, they'll make good shade
For some poor soul

When winter comes
And food is scare
We'll warn our toes to stay indoors
When summer's gone
We're gonna fly away
And find the sun
When winter comes

Must fix the fix the fence by the ache of plot
Two young foxes have been nosing around
And the lambs and the chickens won't feel safe until it's done

When winter comes
And food is scare
We'll warn our toes to stay indoors
When summer's gone
We're gonna fly away
And find the sun
When winter comes
And find the sun
When winter comes
