We used to gather round the fire
Under the fresh-dewed night
Drenched in alcohol and honey, sweat and stars
But now we're trapped each in stainless walls
Fragile and unbearable
Travel through the dark between the bars
And now the streetlights are my constellations
Hanging from my heels across the crenellations
Now the streetlights are my constellations
Hanging from the heels across the crenellations
And I bear the scars of my defeat
At the hands of death
He would not let me pass
And I bear the brand that lights the way down
To the underground
But the station's still as glass
Touched by thousands of dirty fingers
And the whispers of a thousand silent sinners
Touched by thousands of dirty fingers
Shuck my body but my spirit lingers
So sing out now, O drinkers
Sing out now, bartenders
Sing out now, sweet lovers
Sing out for the good times gone

Close the curtains to the light
I can't deal with it
No, I can't deal with it
Now get on out of my room
I am trying to keep a little night time pressed against my head
So give me lemon honey whiskey water
Ease these aching bones of mine
So give me lemon honey whiskey water
Just slip me something, I'll feel fine
I'll get up in fits and starts
Wake up a little bit
I'll wake up little bit
Now, I'll throw up a bit too
But I'm trying to keep a little liquid stuck to my ribs
So give me lemon honey whiskey water
Ease these aching brains of mine
So give me lemon honey whiskey water
Just slip me something, I'll feel fine
I've made it downstairs to the lounge
I'll curl up on the sofa bed
I'll curl up on the sofa bed
Now I have made it this far, won't you please
Mix a little something, raise the dead
So give me lemon honey whiskey water
Ease this aching soul of mine
So give me lemon honey whiskey water
Fever dreams and second hand wine
And I've made promise
That I cannot keep
But I can promise you one thing,
I'll keep drinking

Tintagel Blues

Where has old Pendragon gone,
The one who climbed the tower?
Where has old Pendragon gone,
Who stalked the lady's bower?
Dead and gone from old Tintagel,
Gone the way of Vortigern;
Dead and gone from old Tintagel
Never to return.
A hundred men or more he slew,
One door he took to pieces;
A hundred forts he brake in two,
One woman forced to please him;
Dead and gone from old Tintagel,
Left behind his wedding ring;
Dead and gone from old Tintagel,
Poisoned at the spring
And now she don't belong to anyone
But now she knows she never should have done
It's time to set aside these wedding chains
Her husband's dead, the dragon's wed to the grave
And now the young Pendragon's come
To claim his father's title;
Now the young Pendragon's come
To lead her on a bridle;
Dead and gone, the widow's freedom
Mothers must be wed again;
Dead and gone, the widow's freedom
Poisoned by her son
But now she don't belong to anyone
And now she knows she never should have done
It's time to set aside these wedding chains
The dragon's dead, and now she's wed to the grave

Phoenix

I know what it's like
But the sun don't shine 'less it shines on you
And I know what I said
But my heart can't beat unless your beats too
Can't stand life away from you
Can't stand life away from you
It's the simple truth
And I see in your eyes
There's a great dark night filling up your head
And a fear in my bones
Of that big old house with an empty bed
Guess that life isn't what they said
Guess that life isn't what they said
I'm made of lead
And I need you with me to go on living
And I know I'm selfish but it's true
My heart doesn't beat, but it breaks in two
And I dream of the Phoenix when I dream of you
Oh yes I do
Clipped the wings, locked the cage,
Broke the golden bird and called it blessed
But the world's only bright
While that fragile life flutters in your breast
Don't claim your eternal rest
Please don't claim your eternal rest
Cause I need you with me to go on living
And I know it's selfish but it's true
My heart doesn't beat but it breaks in two
And I dream of the Phoenix when I dream of you
Yes I do
Who dares say the sun doesn't shine
My heart, well it breaks and it binds
I live my whole life in your smile
Lay me down by the road for a while
And I can see the sky for miles
