Super Powers
You have super powers, you don’t know what they are
You cannot fly or see through walls, you cannot pick up cars
You’re living incognito, you keep your manners mild
You’re ready to become yourself and start the Big Smile
Yeah
Oh, really
Your soul is fine
You’re hearing singing spirits, you hear the voice of God
You try your best to follow orders though it feels odd
You live inside yourself and the universe sings
You live in Heaven everyday and you love everything

At Nine

At Nine
All of your harps all of your lakeside songs
The koi and the carp the sight of a sidelong smile
On the face of the foundling at the feet of the foal
The fate of the fathers a nice find beak on the bowl
And mine and thine at nine
More of your overalls more of your motherless mayhem
The beer and the bearskin the bow of the boat and the beat of the bone
In the fear of the foreigners the fire on the forge
The fact that the feast food fell and mice raided the roll
And dined at nine
Some of your saviours some of your sweet sad saints,
Hope for the home life the line of an eyelid the light of the load
You’re covered in concrete you’re covered in soil
You’re covered in consequence intense insects incense and oil
At nine

Let Me Have
Tell me if I’m getting annoying to you
Because that is one thing I don’t want to do
But I skate through the day with your face in my head
And I am not selfish or broken or dead
Let me have a place in your heart
I’ll keep it secret and safe
Are you ready to start
Just get in the car
We’ll ride it out to open spaces

Hello old friend we let the past roll by
Now the how d’you do's have ended we can save the world by lunchtime
Like we used to do back when we thought we had to try to get it right
Let’s go get a bite now do you know someplace that’s good
Are the sandwiches hand crafted Do they feed the fire with wood
Like we used to do back when we and everything was fried
My love how I have missed you
It has been a real long time
Infected by the instant and the water fire and air
We have cast off all our armour in remembering to care
Like we used to do back when we fought to draw a tie till it was night

From Beyond

I saw you there and there you were and there we were
And here we are now it doesn’t make much sense
Happy here upon the fence and though I might get down sometimes
It’s OK everything is fine and I feel I’ve had enough
It’s all a load it’s not that rough
But it’s beyond me most things are I’m happy it confused me
Most things do I’m angry it’s above me most things are,
I’m puzzled where's the pieces I can’t find the ones I have don’t fit
They’re useless I don’t mind too much well just a bit
Did you come from beyond?
Here we are we’ve got this far I wish I could afford a car
But we don’t seem to get along that’s alright there’s nothing wrong
Oh well what the hell right now everything is swell
I’m glad that things have gone this way
I hope that this is how they’ll stay

Lately everybody wants to be something enormous
Taller than a tree and even wetter than the ocean
I don’t care about that
I only want to breathe the air
Lately everyone's responsible and getting married shortly
There’s some nice careers if you can fit yourself into the framework
I don't care about that
I only want to breathe the air
So maybe we could have a farm
And raise us up some kiddies there

Get the guitars going get it out and let it in
Feel the faucet flowing Gotterdamerung again
This is how you fight the fright
This is how you win
Let the lightning lift you may be good enough for some
Droning pipes of power Merry Melodies to hum
I am leaving in the morning whenever that may come
Deliah, thank you for this
Time to take the tower pass the parmesan and wine
Heading for the hilltop now you’ve got a watch to wind
And while the world is a wonder
I’ll never call it mine
