"Hollow Like My Soul"

Hollow like my soul

You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

Just as I was walking by
My soul died
My heart cried
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

So many times I ask myself
So many times I wonder why
So many times I ask myself
So many times I wonder why

You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will die
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul
My eyes are hollow like my soul

Hollow like my soul
You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
Run and hide
Run and hide

"By The Sword"

"Days of old"
I tell my restless mind
Searching mountains
Fields
And meadows green
What is it
My heart can hope to find
All that I long for
I have never seen
Tales of glory written in the dust
Tapestries of deepest purple gold
Legends carved in stone
Tell me I must
Journey through the mist
And bitter cold

But in this brotherhood
I still believe
And for the ones we've lost
My soul will grieve
Yet through the world alone I wander
For I know somewhere
I will find my brothers
By the sword
I swear

In my memory
Awakening
Like a dream too sweet
To cast away
Shadows of the past begin to sing
Calling out to me
In their gallant way
Come away with us
Brother in arms
Through the seas of silver
Fields of gold
Join us as we battle those who harm
And fight with valour as
In days of old

But in this brotherhood
I still believe
And for the ones we've lost
My soul will grieve
Yet through the world alone I wander
For I know somewhere
I will find my brothers
By the sword
I swear

Seeking in the corners of the earth
My companions
I have never known
Blindly running forth
Is honor worth
Endless hours of silence spent
Alone?

But in this brotherhood
I still believe
And for the ones we've lost
My soul will grieve
Yet through the world alone I wander
For I know somewhere
I will find my brothers
By the sword
I swear

Rescue damsels fine
And maidens fair
Free the noble
Who have done no wrong
Though it seems the world
May little care
Some are left that to
The Round belong

But in this brotherhood
We still believe
(I still believe)
And for the ones we've lost
Our souls will grieve
(My soul will grieve)
Yet through the world alone we wander
For we know somewhere
We will find our brothers
By the sword we swear

By the sword I swear
I will find my brothers
I will find my sisters
I will find my brothers
I will find my sisters
By the sword I swear

"I Don't Care Much"

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way
Hearts grow hard
On a windy street
Lips grow cold
With the rent to meet

So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care
Very much
Either way
Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in

So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care
Very much
Either way
Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in

So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

Warning's fair
I don't care very much
Go or stay...

"I Know It's Over (Live)"
(originally by The Smiths)

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said...
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my...

"Find Me A Man"

Find me a man who would die for me
Find me a time that is past
Find me an ocean without a sea
And I will follow at last

Find me a man who would die for me
Find me a time that is past
Find me an ocean without a sea
And I will follow at last

Find me a man

Find me a man who would die for me
Find me a time that is past
Find me an ocean without a sea
And I will follow at last

Find me a man who would die for me
Find me a time that is past
Find me an ocean without a sea
And I will follow at last

Find me a man who would die for me
Find me a time that is past
Find me an ocean without a sea
And I will follow at last

Find me a man

Find me a man who would die for me
Find me a time that is past

"O Mistress Mine"

O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear! Your true love's coming
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure...
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

"All My Loving"
(originally by The Beatles)

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing
And I'll pray that my dreams will come true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving, I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
You know that I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving, I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
All my loving, all my loving
Woo, all my loving, I will send to you

"With Every Passing Day"

With every passing day,
I close my eyes and say...
"Here it comes, that happy ending,
Sending me on my way."

It's just a game I play,
Dreaming my life away.
Though I know my day is passing,
With every passing day.

Daydreams that fly so far,
Melt all my fears away.
Though I know my day is passing,
With every passing day.

"Miss Lucy Had Some Leeches"

Miss Lucy had some leeches
Her leeches liked to suck
And when they drank up all her blood
She didn't give a

Funny when the doctors
Had locked her in her cell
Miss Lucy screamed all night that they
Should go to bloody

Hello to the surgeon
With scalpel old and blunt
He'll tie you to the table
Then he'll mutilate your

Come it's nearly teatime
The lunatics arrive
The keepers bleed them all until
There's no one left a

Lively little rodents
Are eaten up by cats
We're subject to experiments
Like laboratory

Rats I've dropped a teacup
How easily they break
I'm on my hands and knees until
I pay for my mis-

Take off all your clothing
We've only just begun
We have no anesthesia
It's eighteen forty

One thing we should tell you
Before you try again
The tests are invented by
A lot of filthy

Mentally hysteric
She's failed the exam
Don't bother telling Lucy for
She doesn't give a

Damn that's nitrous oxide
For when you can't escape
They say the surgeons oft commit
A murder or a

Razor-blades are rusty
And not a lot of fun
So when they try to amputate
Your legs you'd better

Run and fetch the chemist
A patient's feeling sad
She's been in chains for ages
And she isn't even

Madness is a nuisance
And no one is immune
Your sister, mum or daughter
May become a raving

Lunatics are dangerous
And doctors are obeyed
They also go together just
Like toast and marma-

Ladies are like children
With brains the size of squirrels
Let's give a clitoridectomies
To all the little

Girls are helpless treasures
That daddies must protect
So lie upon the table
For the doctors to in-

Speculums are super
And stirrups all the rage
So spread a lady's legs and then put her
Back in to her

Cage of naked crazies
The surgeon's here to bleed
The doctors are all learned men
And some can even

Reading can be risky
For women on the verge
It only did us worlds of good
To poison, leech and

Purging is a penance
Phlebotomy's a chore
No need to sterilize the tools
We never did be-

Fore the night is over
Before you go to bed
They'll take a hammer and nail
And jam it in your

Headstones in the courtyard
And statues in the park
Are not for the insane
Just leave them rotting in the

"Photographic Memory"

You're not so far away
You're sitting in the space between the night and day
And so I'll wait for the sound of your footsteps
The tea that's brewed too strong
The part of me that's waited patiently for oh so long
At least I try
But I'm relying
On my photographic memory
While painfully realizing
It's not all that it's cracked up to be
And falling's just another way to fly
I wonder why it's never easier than
The first time

"Crazy He Calls Me"

I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love I say

I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As he wants it, so shall it be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see

Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while

I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Fuck, I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I

Crazy in love am I
I'm...in love
I'm in love
