Twinkle 03:38
Sitting on the couch in the flat at home, The leather is cold the leather is cold And my feet need some socks on, The leather is cold the weather is cold But I remember your twinkle-y sighs, And the time, we’re gonna meet tonight And I think that my toes are warming up, and I’m ready to sing this song Down on my own you say ‘build me a cage’, On my own, you can never be all you know Dream of the other side, wings of a kite, Oooh what a night And I remember the drive, ah And that sound of the, car

Musketeer 04:17
I don't need a Castle, do with a corner as long as it's mine mine Where the two walls meet where Every physical need met, But I’m more than my body I am more than my body, We are more than our bodies we are more than our bodies more than Oh! Manna on my own Worms for the soul If I forget you all I’ll musketeer alone I must confess I don’t know I must confess I don't know Oh!

Up at 5 up at 6 up at 7 up at 8 and she didn’t fall asleep for hours Suddenly she can tell why she’s not sleeping well it’s like a recurring dream When her heart & her feet & her mind & her gut spend the night in the same bed They fight for space for their small common place she’s feeling small & common place I think I’ll try to stick with love, ooh, because hate is far too great a burden to bear Didn’t I used to lie all the time through my eye and my face, sometimes through my teeth Outwardly keeping calm while inside brewed a storm rage against the machine much violence would grow, not past my window, did I think no-one could see Why did I try so hard? Ooh I think I’ll try to stick with love, ooh, because hate is far too great a burden to bear And I know yes I know that I am feeling contrite but head and heart are apart And I want yes I want to try and make things right feet on the floor eyes on the door, speak the light, please try no more lies I think I’ll try to stick with love ooh, because hate is far too great a burden to bear

Hope 04:23
Snow globe in your Christmas scene English street and well placed evergreens When it breaks where does the water go Nothing left to shake nothing to hold I hope Oooh Dusk and dark it’s getting dim Better turn your headlights on I’m weeping wax the light that’s in my eyes Is just enough to read and write but not to read the songs tonight Ooh I Hope I hold on to hope I hold on to Hope I hold on to hope I hold on to Snow globe in your Christmas scene English street and well placed evergreens When it breaks where does the water go Nothing left to shake nothing to hold I hope Ooh I Hope I hold on to hope I hold on to Hope I hold on to hope I hold on to
