Bitters End
(ferry)
At last the crimson chord cascade
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin
While destiny begins to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realise their fate
You were the raven of october
I knew the sign you flew around
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never thought id be a rover
I didnt even look around
But now I know youve found another
So will someone please find me
Give now the host his claret cup
And watch madeiras farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp

Amazona
(ferry/manzanera)
Amazona
Is a zone where
There is no doubt
No more fall-out -
Why dont you step
Through the mirror and see?
From arizona
To eldorado
Sure is a mighty long way.
Hey little girl
Is something wrong?
I know its hard
For you to get along
The bell-tower rings
It tolls a hollow sound
But your castles in spain
Still may be realised
And longings more profound.
You see - every cloud

No Strange Delight
(ferry/manzanera)
So there goes your life
Disappeared from ever loving friends
And now a slave to obsession
Your strange delight
You lie awake
How your senses ache
Shaking off the night
Is there more strange delight?
There goes your self
In the clear forever out of line
And there youll stay through obsession
Your strange delight
Cant bear this heat
You poor heart skips a beat
Tearing off the years
To when you really cared
So where's your soul?
In the field where every story ends
And then how plain your obsession

2hb
(ferry)
Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill my love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Heres looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Heres looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since were together
Now I hope its forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket, black tie, wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words dont express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keepings the lesson
Heres looking at you kid

Three & Nine
(ferry/mackay)
You might remember
How it used to be
3 and 9 could show you
Any fantasy
Parti-coloured pictures
Now and then 3d
No cheap nostalgia
Conjured up by me
Back to the old days
Close to home
Show me some new ways
Ill carry on
Whether making out or played out
Three and nine make twelve
Ive a dozen reasons
Lying on the shelf
B feature back rows
Filed away
No point pretending

Jealous Guy
Jealous guy (lennon)
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didnt mean to hurt you
Im sorry that I made you cry
I didnt mean to hurt you
Im just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didnt mean to hurt you
Im sorry that I made yoy to cry
I didnt want to hurt you
Im just a jealous guy
I was trying to cach your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain

Whirlwind
(ferry/manzanera)
May day
Cut down to size again
What then
When less is more my friend
Ill change
Let me start again
Disguise
Its too weird to explain
Why ill
Always call your name
Adieu; with you
I could be anything
That I want to be
Whirlwind
Wildfire and driving rain
Wheels spin
Bowl me over hurricane
Whirlwind
Crack your cheeks and blow

End Of The Line
(ferry)
Think ill walk out in the rain
Called you time and time again
I got no reply
Youve gone
Reached the point of no return
The more I see the more I stand alone
I see the end of the line
Were you ever lonely?
Mystified and blue?
Realising only
Your numbers up
Youre through
Done my share of winning
Nows my turn to lose
After a fair beginning
The games up
Im through
Think ill walk out in the storm
There no love to keep me warm inside

Sunset
(ferry)
Oh look at the sun - its all a-glow
Slow burning star - sinking low
Heaven knows where you go
Out of sight, out of minds eye, no
Aw such a shame - you must leave
All day long you were a friend to me
Still - the moons company
Until morning when larks will sing
Horizons appointment youll keep
For sunswept flamingos must sleep
Scenes like these from my dreams
Cover cutting-room floors all over .....
Warm heart we spin slowly from view
Why are you sad - do you disapprove?
How weve wasted our time
Sunset - end of my day - my decline
Postscript you trace colours the sky
Red-letter light fades, is filed away
Sunburst fingers you raise
