“Echoes”
Lyrics:

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks
And no one tries
No one flies around the sun

Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.

Badfish
Lyrics:

When you grab a hold of me
Tell me that I’ll never be set free
But I’m a parasite,
Creep and crawl I step into the night.

Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too?
Are you a badfish too?
Ain’t got no money to spend
I hope the night will never end
Lord knows I’m weak
Won’t somebody get me off of this reef

Baby you’re a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim, but wish I’d never learned
The water’s too polluted with the germs
I dive deep when it’s ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed (it’s underneath my bed)
Ain’t got no quarrels with God
Ain’t got no time to grow old

Lord knows I’m weak
Won’t somebody get me off of this reef
Ain’t got no quarrels with God
Ain’t got no time to get old
Lord knows I’m weak
Won’t somebody get me off of this reef
