Read the lyrics


1. Zero
He dreams that he’s Midas
Or some maharajah
And whatever he touches
Just gets larger and larger…

2. Inward Road
Push came gradually to shove,
Now it’s time that you weren’t here…

3. Your Love Is My Heaven
I lost my way, I lost my trust
And I can’t see through all this dust…

4. Walking Before You Fly
Though it’s true what they say about travelling light,
I could do with your burden tonight…

5. Show Me That
There were bright unearthly lights
Moving over me.
I felt shining alien eyes.
What do you want to see?…

6. Remains
I pack a sky-blue suitcase
With a photograph of your beautiful face…

7. Moment Ago
It was travelling quickly,
It was moving slow…

8. I’ll Be Around
Stumbled on to freedom
Coming out of nowhere…

 

9. Skye Time
Trees in the meadow shedding their fruit,
Thieves in the alley dividing the loot…

10. In the West
You’re able to stand,
You’ve got one good right hand
And the smoking remains of a voice left…

11. Holy Hill
Some swelled up with famine,
S
ome floated swollen in the floods
And some men were swollen up,
Proclaiming themselves gods…

12. Paradise Behind Barbed Wire
Someday all of this will be yours,
Meanwhile you can stay on all fours…

13. She’s My Hero
Batman and Robin
They come to her sobbin’…

14. To the Bone
The phantoms kiss and disappear,
The devil whispers in your ear…

15. Infinity
On the other side our ways will cross
And there we’ll find everything we lost…
