Milamber - Walk With Me
02:46
|
|||
Walk with me down tree lined streets
I will hold your hands while you whisper your dreams
Tell me everything you need while you tremble
I will hold you in the shade
I understand if you have to leave
You’ll lose me in between each dirty facade
While you run in the sun I will hide in the places you can’t reach

In a building of green
Catch an excellent scene
Even now watering his beans
Tinkering away the time
Even now in his prime
Don't look now or you'll spoil his thyme
Mr. Gardener, our esteemed horticulturist
Tending to the plants that don't exist
Just pretend they're all there
In the open fresh air
Even though all the plants are nowhere
Mr. Gardener, our esteemed horticulturist
Tending to the plants that don't exist
Don't disturb him now
While working in the sun
You can just allow his strange sense of fun
In a building of green
Catch an excellent scene
Even now watering his beans
Don't disturb him now
While working in the sun
You can just allow his strange sense of fun
Tinkering away the time
Even now in his prime
Don't look now or you'll spoil his thyme
Mr. Gardener, our esteemed horticulturist
Tending to the plants that don't exist
Mr. Gardener, our esteemed horticulturist
Tending to the plants that don't exist

under the cover
of darkness we ride
our smallest cruiser
from the radar hides
get to the outpost
crack open the door
once in the hangar
don't know what's in store
there's still so little
we know of this power
perhaps the answer
will lie in this tower
no matter what we face
we will not cower
we are the corsairs
and this is our hour
enter the hangar
totally empty
find the terminal
and search for the key
but we can't find it
don't know what to search
instead there's a lab
for secret research
there's still so little
we know of this power
perhaps the answer
will lie in this tower
no matter what we face
we will not cower
we are the corsairs
and this is our hour
this secret lab on the moon
has two things that might help us
the gradient optimizer
or the quantum valve of flux
there's still so little
we know of this power
perhaps the answer
will lie in this tower
no matter what we face
we will not cower
we are the corsairs
and this is our hour

Andy's Mints - Waiting
02:50
|
|||
I’m planting a tree and when it’s grown
I can pay off my student loan
I wait, I wait
Day to day
I’m watching the market price of fruit
Wearing my necktie and my suit
I wait, I wait
Data day
All of the time, waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for life to give lemons and limes
When I’m old, sell all my apples of gold
But all of the waiting is taking a toll
I’m thinking it takes a hundred years
Better have patience over tears
I wait, day to day
I will wait, I’m on the way
I’m painting a song and when it’s done
I hope it will be number one
I wait, I wait
Day to day
I heard that there was a secret chord
Strumming it only made me bored
I wait, I wait
Day to day
All of the time, waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for life to give lyrics and rhymes
When I’m old, hundreds of “Apples of Gold”s
But all of the waiting is taking a toll
I’m thinking it takes a hundred years
Better have patience over tears
I wait, day to day
I will wait, I’m on the way
I will wait, day to day
I will wait I’m on the way

Dean Howey - The Golden
04:48
|

The Gold is king, and I will sing (La la la la la la la)
The tree, it stands so tall; overlooking
Dead from years of sunlight and the rainfall
My hope swells out, my heart knows a sure thing
That I might not be alone here at all
Creeping desire, it pulls me inward
But suddenly I’m not the only one
Looking hungry at me “Please” I implore
Let this not be how this short life is done
The Golden stares right through me like I’m glass
Sprinting back to the ship I think is right
With steps it moves with me swiftly alas
I see the end; I run, I freeze, I fight
And in quest to cure my planet’s hunger
I find myself in gold, and tree, under
Golden takes me in and I finally sleep, goodnight
Oak Trees on this planet I was sent to find - we are starving we need food
Living inside the oak was gold
The Oak is the Throne
The Gold is the King
But I cannot share the Gold or the Oak
For the Falling stars may fall too hard
The Empire’s reach will span to far
And that this will become song

Count the rings (x8)
I don't know how you found your way
Underneath the green titilla
On such a cloudy day
When the air smells like vanilla
Another day in the fall
Where we do nothing at all
I'm going back to the place
So won't you give me a call?
(Guitar solo)
Count the rings (x16)

Belivet - Biarritz
02:28

Mm mm…
I lean over the railing
The tide caresses the bay
While I’m waiting for the call to say
You’ve left quick as you can
For my bed in your private estate
You’ve got your obligations
And I don’t think that I would mind
If I didn’t have to linger
In the shadow of your days
Far away from your regular life
***
I’ll stay by the window
As the evening drags on
And when you breeze back to Biscay
I’ll keep your dinner warm
You’ll love me under a blank sky
On the empty moonless beach
We swear we’ll stay forever
Though we’re lying through our teeth
But until you open the foyer doors
And I have you on my lips
I’ll chill the same champagne
In Biarritz
Mm mm…
