Grace
(j. buckley/g. lucas)
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love
But she cries to the clicking of time,
Wait in the fire...
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love...
And the rain is falling and i believe my time has come
And it reminds me of the pain i might leave behind
Wait in the fire...
And i feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
But i'm not afraid to go, baby it's all because of you
But i'm not afraid to go, but it goes so slow, slow
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Wait in the fire...

(d.tiomkin/n.washington)
Originally performed by nina simone. jeff performed it live at the spot coffee, buffalo, on december 9 1996. that was a date of the solo phantom tour: that day he was billed as father demo.
Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
For my love is like
The wind
And wild is the wind
Give me more
Than one caress
Satisfy this
Hungriness
Let the wind
Blow through your heart
For wild is the wind
You...
Touch me...
I hear the sound
Of mandolins

Yard Of Blonde Girls
Through the yard
Through the yard of blonde girls
Through the river and the sea
Gold sharks glittering
A tree of white
Breaks the earth
The streets where lola played
Very sexy, very sexy, okay, okay
Fear, we may come x4
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
Its in your heart
Its in your art, your beauty
Even in this world of lies
Theres purity
Youve got innocence
In your eyes
Even in this world of lies
Youre still hopeful
Very sexy, okay, okay
Fear, we may come x4

You I
(j.buckley)
You and i.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild,
You and i.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child.
Where you look down
Ive walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldnt reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and i, you and i, you and i,
All for you.
Where you think youll fall,
I adore you.
Where you shut your soul,

Lilac Wine
I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and heady,
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
Like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isnt that she, coming to me
Nearly here
Lilac wine is sweet and heady,

You & I
(j.buckley)
You and i.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild,
You and i.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child.
Where you look down
I've walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and i, you and i, you and i,
All for you.
Where you think you'll fall,
I adore you.
Where you shut your soul,

I Shall Be Released
(b. dylan)
Originally performed by bob dylan. jeff performed it live on air at wfmu, on september 6 1992.
They say everything can be replaced,
Yet every distance is not near.
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
They say every man needs protection,
They say every man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears hes not to blame.

Vancouver
Lady
All the troubles are my fright, I disgust you
Feel the power you cut the truth into you
Why do you think Id hidden out on this rely
I could kiss you
With lines of escape in my mouth
Please let me bring back these gifts of mine to the woman
His eyes shined on my back as I slept and knew you
You didnt leave it all
You made an even call
My belly released the stars
And tears between the scars. ooooh
Were where we belong
It should end here
Until the end of time
Beyond the moment
That ends our bondage
I am your failed husband contender
Im your loan shark of bliss.
This dream youve ridden on

The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
(morrissey/j.marr)
Originally performed by the smiths. jeff performed it live in his exhibition at meltdown festival, london, on july 1 1995.
The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they dont believe me
How can they hear me say those words
And still they dont believe me
And if they dont believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they dont believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for love
How can they see the love in our eyes
And still they dont believe us
And after all this time
They dont want to believe us

The Man That Got Away
Very nice man
The road is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter;
The winds grow colder
Suddenly youre older
And all because of the man that got away.
No more his eager call
The writings on the wall
The dreams you dreamed
Have all gone astray
The man that won you
Has run off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning
Dont know what happened
Its all a crazy game
A game
No more that all-time thrill
For youve been through the mill
And never a new love
