B-Movie Lyrics
Arctic Summer
Angel standing at my cradle
Haunting every thought and every dream
Entering my blood so gently
Like malaria, she flows through me
Now it will be an arctic summer
I’m a haunted house and no one’s home
Now it will be an arctic summer
I’m the wolf that walks alone
Softly, softly slow but surely
Time erodes the memories of pain
The sun is dripping in the ocean
With it drowns another day
The wind is cold, it blows and blows
A hurricane into my soulLike Jericho, when trumpets blow
My kingdom falls and winter calls my name
It will be an arctic summer
Waiting for the ice to thaw again
Now it will be an arctic summer
Loving you the hardest way
And rivers flow and sunsets glow
With shooting stars and tides of gold
But all I know , is ice and snow
Without your love there’s nothing left at all
Nothing left at all, nothing left at al!
A Letter From Afar
No joy in heaven, although the sun may shine
I need the warmth of gin inside
I see the golden track, blurred in sand and dust
Where burnt out cars decay and rust, (march)
No joy in heaven, despite the glittering stars
Their jagged shapes just tear my heart
Between the sand and stone
The flowers of hope may grow
Then trodden on by commandos, (march)
Chanting these words out like a prayer
Hoping someone’s listening up there
Reach for a face that isn’t here
Fooled by my mind I fear …..
A letter from afar
Too much is not enough
I need to feel your touch
I need to have you close to me
Desert sons and guns
Mosquito nets and bombs
I watch them from my swimming pool, (splash)
A letter from afar
Blind Allegiance
Why is it such a crime
To have an open mind
Caught in the big decline
Crisis all the time
Left with this open wound
A legacy of lust
Storm clouds begin to loom
Ominous above
Why is it such a crime
To have a way of life
That’s outside the dotted line
They draw for us
Beggars and millionaires
Ugly, bad and good
Daughters and sons despair
Where is Robin Hood
Empires and kingdoms die
What keeps their souls alive
Blind Allegiance, blind allegiance
Empires and kingdoms die
What keeps their souls alive
Blind Allegiance, blind allegiance
Why is it such a crime
To feel humility
Into the politics of possibility
Healing this open wound
A destiny for us
Blue skies break through the gloom
The future lies with us
