Angels of Fire and Snow

I never walked on a wire
Never danced on a frozen lake
I just waited, waited for my own sake
I felt the heat of their fire
Carving rivers tenderly
They said ‘read me’, just not too literally
Now they're here and I'm there and we're shining
Caught a glimpse of the gems they were mining
They stole the show
Angels of fire and snow
All the longing, lamenting and pining
These pretenders who claim they’re divining
Will pass and go
Angels of fire & snow
And I was lost in the garden
When day break came they turned to me
and said ‘listen this is our decree’
Though you dream of forests
This gilded cage will set you free
Ever yielding as the sea

True North

I’ll be your hero for a few more years
I’ll be there waiting to catch you when you
Fall asleep fighting back restless tears
Waltzing you round the room singing Harvest Moon
The nights seem longer when sleep is scarce
And sometimes we long for those good old days
When we could get in the car and just go somewhere
Then you call my name and I’m all yours again
Thought I was chasing something beautiful
But I was living someone else’s dream
Well you’ve got to go your own way
In the footsteps of your father
With the wisdom of your mother
You can read all the books, say the right words
But they can’t tell you nothing you don’t already know
So ask me questions, the tall and absurd
Let me hold you for now and then I’ll learn to let you go
Thought I was chasing something beautiful
But I was living someone else’s dream
Well you’ve got to go your own way
In the footsteps of your father
With the wisdom of your mother
When you’re tossed upon the ocean
Or distracted by the whispering wind
Well you get this foolish notion
When you’re washed up on the shore
And you’re facing true north
In the footsteps of your father
With the wisdom of your mother

When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old,
He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand,
For God and for valour he rode through the land.
No charger have I, and no sword by my side,
Yet still to adventure and battle I ride,
Though back into storyland giants have fled,
And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead.
Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed
'Gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed;
And let me set free with the sword of my youth,
From the castle of darkness, the power of the truth.

Garbo's Song
03:13

No one knows, no one sees
what goes on behind the curtain
who’s been hiding, who’s been hurting
sweet little lies, it’s hard to find
where you hide
I know you try, to make things right
there’s a line you tell your friends
when it’s easy to pretend
sweet little lies, the very kind
you know they like
Although you think that no one knows
I see the world on your shoulders
like nobody told you you’re enough
screw those stupid fools
I see the light that you’re hiding
and still you keep smiling
anyway
A solitary girl
in a sorry, hurried world
close the door, take off your earrings
lay down with that naked feeling
sweet little dreams, holding you
faithfully
Though you think that no one knows
I see the world on your shoulders
like nobody told you you’re enough
screw those stupid fools
I see the light that you’re hiding
and still you keep smiling

Successful

When we meet on the street you’re looking over your shoulder
For that something brighter, something bolder
Always distracted, never dare to stand still
Never stopping to breathe or stand back from it all
You’re successful
Too busy to walk, too hurried to stay
When you’re so in demand you skip the entrée
When I call you on the phone you’re too busy to converse
It’s etched on your soul in chapter and verse
You’re successful
You say the right words at the right time
While I fumble around on the emotional breadline
You wear the right clothes, drink the right wine
You’re so successful that you leave us mere mortals behind
Successful
What’s a girl to do with a boy like you?
Another shade of blue
What’s a girl to do with a boy like you?
Another shade of blue
Now you say you love women; a self-proclaimed feminist
You’re thoughtful in the bedroom but never can commit
You’re too successful to be tied down
You’re so successful that you’re always out of town
There are parties to attend, there are ears to bend
When you’re successful someone knew someone who used to be your friend
What’s a girl to do with a boy like you?
Another shade of blue
What’s a girl to do with a boy like you?
Another shade of blue

They seem so kind and civilised
With good intentions in their eyes
Sugar-coated promises and grinning guarantees
A story told in black and white
Protagonist in fight or flight
The unsuspecting audience of this well known tale
The news feed intravenous drip
Leaves me feeling numb and sick
Every moment, every thought
Projected on the screen
It’s fame and fortune that’s revered
Reversing ageing year by year
A mantra heard so many times
You’ll soon believe it’s yours
I don’t wanna read the news anymore
I don’t wanna see the papers at my door
My ears need something lighter
My eyes need something brighter
I don’t wanna read the news anymore
Work hard, protect your family
Buy the love you never see
Somewhere down the line you’ll wonder
Where it all went wrong
You sympathise you smile and nod
When arbitrary acts of God
Leave mothers crying, muffled voices
On your TV screen
I don’t wanna read the news anymore
I don’t wanna see the papers at my door
My ears need something lighter
My eyes need something brighter
I don’t wanna read the news anymore
