Dull sky, I’m not sleeping too well
Some try, but I’ve never seen things that way
Babes cry, you were never one of mine
Dull sky , on my mind
You glow, and never to return
Some live their lives in waiting rooms
Oh I know something makes you work
And still slow, so slow
Serenity never meant that much to me
What we could’ve been keeps my sanity
Purity, I couldn’t purify my soul
And dignity makes you so cold
And sticks and stones make a happy home

Blurt
Recorded at The Music Farm, Egremont
Engineered and produced by Tom Tyson
Date: August 1992
She’s teasing me
Like I’m in a dream Mother nature and me
She whips up a storm
In a hurricane song just like this one
She is teasing me, so it can be (its hurting me)
Mother, just like your Mother
She’s woeful of life
Trouble and strife everywhere I’ve been
Lend me a bow tie
Measure a waistline all to be sane
She is teasing me, so it can be (its hurting me)
Mother, just like your Mother
Mother of thousands you give me the room
You’re my Mother of thousands
Mother of thousands you trip on the womb
My Mother of thousands
Mother, just like your Mother
Mother, just like your Mother
She’s sometimes near
I feel the warmth every time she’s here
I’m sensitised
Can’t feel a thing without her here
She is teasing me, so it can be (its hurting me)
Mother, just like your Mother
You tend to smother, just like your Mother

Sucker
Recorded at The Music Farm, Egremont
Engineered and produced by Tom Tyson and bubblehouse
Date: November 1992
I’ll be counting one by one…
Here you are now bothering me (here you are now)
You’re everywhere and everything I see
I get too tired I can’t breathe
I get too tired when you’re on top of me
I’m cast adrift on the ship of you (on the ship of you)
Just the same idea but without the booze
Sink that line and take it to the grave
Sell it cheap my soul to save
Oh I’ll be waiting when you fall (when you fall)
I’ll be dreaming… I’m over it all
Sleepy Susan’s troubling me (yeah she’s troubling me)
She shakes my mind and takes my sanity
Well pinky-blue doesn’t happen here
Just the same as you I was older by a year
Oh I’ll be waiting when you fall (when you fall)
I’ll be counting… I’m over it all
Oh I’ll be sleeping when you call (when you call)
I’ll be saying… I’m over it all
Oh I’ll be dreaming when you fall (when you fall)
I’ll be counting one by one… I’m over it all
