AUTOMATIC

Soon enough tough stuff
You just want what you can’t touch
The question isn’t how much
Erase everything you know

Automatic
It’s automatic

Soft panned for sulky solo
rock gift for the po-mo
Subjecting what you know

Automatic
It’s automatic
Automatic
It’s automatic

Automatic
It’s automatic
Automatic
It’s automatic

Oh love of mine
Should I ever fall or lag behind
Call me sometime
Let me know
Cause I can’t control it

Automatic
It’s automatic
Automatic
It’s automatic

Now wherever we go
We got it under control
Know we’re running the zone
Yeah wherever we go
We got it under control
now we freak with the flow

----------------------------


LOOKING AT THE SUN

Oh yeah I’m looking at the sun
Me and everyone
Looking at you

What’s new?
I guess I’ve never seen
A world so green
Here beside you

Ba ba ba ba

This day is the perfect day
There’s nothing in our way
This is our time

I know what I’m holding in my arms
Keep it safe and warm
Just you and me now

Oh yeah
I’m looking at the sun
My darling young one
Here beside you

Right now
Before our world so green
Grows cold and changes scene
And the nights get darker

For now
I’m looking at the sun
Someday the rain might come
But I love the sunshine


----------------------------


NOTHING I CAN DO

Sometimes I don’t know
Whether I should trust
The way I’m s’posed to feel
Or what happens when we touch

So many times I’ve tried
To let these worries go
Or loose it from inside
Before they burn out of control

And how could I have known
That you would be the one
But somewhere I just got thrown
And I now I don’t know what I’ve done
But I can’t make it on my own

Oh no, I can’t change the way I feel
But how do I know if this feeling is for real?
This is gonna be hard
Maybe the whole thing’s gone too far
There’s no other choice now
There’s nothing I can do

Something changed my way
When you came around
Gray skies you erased
And turned them upside down

And how could I have known
That you would be the one
But somewhere I just got thrown
And I now I don’t know what I’ve done
But I can’t make it on my own

Oh no, I can’t change the way I feel
But how do I know if this feeling is for real?
This is gonna be hard
Maybe the whole thing’s gone too far
There’s no looking back now
There’s nothing I can do


There’s nothing I can do
-------------------------



SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER

FROM THE TIME WE FELL APART TO THE TIME WHEN WE FIRST MET
I’VE BEEN LIVING IN REVERSE
SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER YOU’VE BEEN ON MY MIND

AND IT’S HARD WAY TO GO FORTH
BUT IT’S A HARD ROAD TO GO BACK
BETTER FINISH WHAT WE START
SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER YOU’VE BEEN ON MY MIND
SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER LOVE’S BEEN SO HARD TO FIND

(YEAH IT HAS)

SOLO

SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER LOVE’S BEEN SO HARD TO FIND
SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER YOU’VE BEEN STILL ON MY MIND

BETTER FIND OUT WHAT WE’VE DONE
I FIND IT MAKES NO SENSE
SEE HOW BADLY WE’VE BEEN BURNED

SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER YOU’VE BEEN ON MY MIND

WALKIN TO THE 4-5-6
THE MARQUEE MOON WAS IN ECLIPSE
SOMEHOW WE LET THE MOMENT SLIP


SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER LOVE’S BEEN SO HARD TO FIND
BUT SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER YOU’VE BEEN STILL ON MY MIND

FAKIN

Does it get you off when he leaves his bootstraps on?
Is he really yours from the twilight into dawn?
Is it sad that you could never call this love?
But is it really close enough?

When he’s done ask him what he takes you for
It helps him sleep are you afraid he’s really bored?
And it’s sad because you realize that’s all
Does he hang your photo on his wall?

Were you just fakin?
If so then how much?
And how soft is your touch?

Does it blow your mind that you could make yourself believe
This is what you want and that you hope he’ll never leave?
And you’re happy now the tv set goes dim
To hear a voice that isn’t him

Were you just fakin?
If so then how much?
And how soft
And how soft is your touch?
And how soft is your touch?
And how soft is your touch?
And how soft is your touch?


-------------------------


WANDER ON

First there was darkness and then came the collapse
When I first saw you west highway underpass
Walking through diamonds or just broken glass
I wander on

Watching you cross over 6th ave and 18
Up from the E train as though torn from a dream
Thinking bout what you said
What did it mean?
Still I wander on

Chelsea insouciant
Wednesday afternoon
Light in the distance blacked out up in your room
Wondering if I might have left there too soon
I wander on


----------------------

SHINING BRIGHT
Spend your whole life trying
To make this turn out right
Maybe no one’s buying
But that could all change overnight

My head’s been spinning so fast
There’s no time to slow down
Don’t let your moment slip past
In this town

CHORUS
Is it too late to call you on the telephone?
Does it help to remember that nothing’s written in stone?
That you could leave anytime you like?
You could make the scene turn out right
May the road that guides you through night
Keep shining bright

While deeper I was wading
The dream was fading out of view
All the years I waited
Medicated to make it through
My head’s been spinning so fast
There’s no time to slow down
Don’t let your moment slip past
In this town

Is it too late to call you on the telephone?
Does it help to remember that nothing’s written in stone?
That you could leave anytime you like?
You could make the scene turn out right
May the road that guides you through night
Keep shining bright


Shining bright
Shining bright
Shining bright
Shining bright

-----------------------

AUTOMATON

AUTOMATON
Still don’t know what makes you happy
But I’ll figure out real soon (right)
Leave me hangin in denial
Leave me hangin’ round your room
Yeah uh protect it
Only the world you know

I’m your slave baby lead me on
Autodetect the automaton
You could take out the king but you leave the pawn
Turn me on

Either with you or against you
Baby please don’t make me choose (eh)
You said be careful what you say now
Be careful what you do
Feel defective
But what have I got to lose?

I’m your slave baby lead me on
Autodetect the automaton
You could take out the king but you leave the pawn
Turn me on

SOLO

Gimme something to believe in
Gimme something to attack
Deep
Inside it, conquer and divide it
Be careful to watch your back

I’m your slave baby lead me on
Autodetect the automaton
You could take out the king but you leave the pawn
Turn me on

I’m your slave baby lead me on
Autodetect the automaton
You could take out the king but you leave the pawn
Turn me on and turn me off
Right


--------------------------


I BELIEVE

Ba ba ba ba ba

I wonder if you’ll understand
This secret of a broken man
I held you in the underground
Babe I wouldn’t hold you down

I believe in you and me
It don’t matter what you see
We can’t be scared what others say
I don’t want to live that way

Still we got to leave this town behind
We’ve got to get out while we know there’s time

Ba ba ba ba

I wonder if you’ll understand
The promise of a broken man

I believe in you and me
It don’t matter what you see
We can’t be scared what others say
I don’t want to live that way
(repeat 2x)

Still we’ve got to leave this town behind
We’ve got to get out while we know there’s time

I wonder if you’ll understand
The promise of a broken man
-----------------------

MOVING SLOW
Time is running out
I used to tell myself
I guess I always thought
I’d be somewhere else

Now I’m just resigned
There’s nowhere I would go
Happily detached and
Moving slow

Just rest your pretty head
From what you’ll never know
Let’s go back to bed
Turn the lights down low

Empire’s shallow grave
Vermillion glow
Twilit aftermath
Fading slow


Mad props to Lazy Jane
The queen is overthrown
But still she looks the same
Now that the kiss is blown

She says she knows me well
Enough to know
That I don’t mind
Moving slow

sean eden muses ...

it behooved me to contribute my fortitude to sire derby's newest endeavour. whilst moored in gibraltar, my boatswain delivered me the secret files of the audio recording, and, after close inspection, i made sail for portsmouth post-haste in order to ensconce myself in my own studio at shaftesbury-on-avon. i trust the result is sure to please the admiralty.
