Protect You 02:35
lyrics
buy track
I will protect you From every evil man If someone so much as touches you I’m chopping off his hand I will protect you No matter how it goes If someone so much as smells your hair I’m slicing off his nose I’m slicing off his nose I’m slicing off his nose I’m slicing off his nose I will protect you So baby never fear If someone so much as hears your voice I’m tearing off his ears I will protect you so head my way and run If someone so much as tastes your breath I’m biting out his tongue I’m biting out his tongue I’m biting out his tongue I’m biting out his tongue I will protect you from all the liars’ lies If someone so much as looks your way I’m spooning out his eyes I will protect you He’ll wish that he was dead The man who tries to make you his I’m chopping off his head I’m chopping off his head I’m chopping off his head I’m chopping off his head

I Used To Be A Wolf 02:17
lyrics
buy track
It’s pretty soft, The world I’m in today If I sound like I’m complaining, Then I should start again I was hanging out on instinct, The moon just tells me so If the wind changes direction, Then that’s where I will go Oh I know why you came here You’re looking for a better helping hand But I don’t have that to offer you You’re out on your own so go and stand Fangs wear down, And so does the smell of blood It’s been happening far too often, But my will is good The fur was darker once, But it’s growing right back to white I used to take pride in the fact, I could hide in the dead of night And that’s why you came here You think the future should be so grand But there’s nothing left to owe you The world will ignore all your demands And that’s why you’re dying You were never ever built for this You’re ashamed of all the crying I think you’ll agree ignorance is bliss

Beast Mode 02:06
lyrics
buy track
I’m gonna run right through your face I’m gonna run right through your head I’m gonna run right through your heart I’m gonna leave you there for dead There’s a chance that you might beat me But I don’t think that you could You can try though if you want to But I don’t think that you should You’re not that good You’re not that good You’re not that good You’re not that good Over and over and over and over and over and over again There’s no way you can take it You’ll wish that you were dead You’re not that good You’re not that good You’re not that good You’re not that good

A Knight 02:27
lyrics
buy track
He runs away from his courage from time to time Will he sneak away from his strength? Yeah he might And no he doesn’t ever really want to bleed But he wants to look just like a knight… he says... I didn’t lead you into this mess But I can lead you out So take a walk, a little time in the sun Before the moon comes back to ruin all our fun

I Know Your Kind 02:28
lyrics
buy track
You look like an angel You look like a queen You’re among the prettiest things that I’ve ever seen You smell like a flower Oh so divine But you can’t fool me babe I know your kind And, you’re not kind You’re not kind I know your kind I know what your mouth says I hear every word Those are some of the kindest things that I’ve ever heard You might win me over If I don’t remind myself of your past I know your kind And, you’re not kind You’re not kind I know your kind You walk on water From what they say And I can see how they would think that you’re okay Your bright eyes smile Your face just shines But I’ll always know the truth I know your kind And, you’re not kind You’re not kind I know your kind

You Were A Lamb 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Rolling fields, The smell of home A brighter season, Than the one you know From Strength to strength, Growing out and growing up Never stopping, Because it’s never enough I saw you when you were a lamb A purer breed I’ve never seen Raised from the ground by loving hands But since then, where have you been? I feel a need to shelter you It’s all too little too late The farm you were on shipped the others out And you’re so glad to be separate The field grows down, The weeds climb up There’s no one here, To help make the cut From ash to ash, And the same old dust The young ones moved, got lost in lust I saw you when you were a lamb The sun reflected all of your good I wanted to save you from the farmer’s eye But I stopped stock still and stood I let you go into the slaughterhouse I shook when they shut the gate I waved from the road because it’s safer there But you looked back gave me a smile and waved. Oh I didn’t remember to say bye-bye bye – bye O I didn’t remember to say bye-bye So bye-bye Goodbye

I Want You By My Side 02:01
lyrics
buy track
This is the craziest place I’ve ever seen And it get worse here every day And yeah I know, I can take it on alone But I wouldn’t want to do it that way I want you by my side While I take on the world You can shine or you can hide But I want you by my side You’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen And you get lovelier every day And yeah I know, I can take it on alone But I wouldn’t want to do it that way I want you by my side While I take on the world You can shine or you can hide But I want you by my side I want you by my side While I take on the world You can shine or you can hide But I want you by my side I want you by my side

Invert Me 02:31
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been sitting on a pretty thin fence Trying to decide which way to fall Coming of age sure comes with a lot of baggage You want my thoughts and that’s your call So come on And Invert me If it’ll help you sleep tonight Weighing in, swing your fists around Let off steam so you can see Kill the engine, let it run right down You don’t listen to much - but you’ll answer to me You’ve become a tower, a real mountain man But the feral eyes are a step too far I think it’s safe, to put you out of your misery It’ll just be a little ride in my car So come on And Invert me Opinions should not matter that much to you So feel free To desert me I’ve always been fine on my own that’s true
9.
Dynamite 02:22
lyrics
buy track
There’s dynamite in your eyes We’re sitting round a smile for two I’m not sure what brought you here But I’m more than happy to see this through Let’s go out there See if we can find some friends But then again I’m not great with people Does it have to have to be human beings Oh… I’m trying to see things your way Oh I’m living for years, On nothing else but your good graces Doughnuts in her smile Sugar flying in her hair Take her back and show her the town Where you grew from here to there Oh I’m trying to make a good impression It’s not aggression Do you see what I’m saying? I’m trying to lay it out I’m trying to stir it up Take it out of the oven What is it all about? The things that I’m trying to see Took a long trip to a human zoo If you can then will come with me? Staring at the cages Wondering if I’m in there Looking at the animals in fits and rages Or birds that miss the air So come take a walk (with me) Out through amusement parks Take a ride on a roller coaster I’ll have you home before dark

The Old Man's Bones 01:46
lyrics
buy track
Where do you think the old man died I’m out looking for his bones Where would a man like that hide He’d hide close to home There’s a pack frame here at the spike camp that was his I’d bet my life Air scent ground scent by dusk I’ll find him and his hunting knife If you’ve got good reason to leave You can’t do no better than he How do you think the old man died High noon or dead of night We’ll never know that from his bones but it wasn’t without a fight

You Want A Bottle Of What? 01:15
lyrics
buy track
Well say you want a bottle of beer You’re near and dear to my heart Or say you want a bottle of wine Well I guess that’s just fine But what if they want more? But what if they want more? Well say you want a bottle of booze Well we’ve got nothing to lose But say you want a bottle of mine And I think you know what you’ll find But what if they want more? But what if they want more?

Take My Hand 00:32

Climbin’ a mountain Take my hand Crossin’ the river Take my hand Fightin’ a dragon Take my hand Take my hand, I’m your man Take my hand

Daytime Vulpine 02:03
lyrics
buy track
Sneaking out and catching up Used to be her thing But the barbed wire is sharper now Sprint the roads and tame the cars You’d know her shape in silhouette But the smallest things weigh her down Somehow I feel like she’s giving up But I don’t think that she’s know it herself She’s making the change to a life in the day A vulpine creature in the day time and yes I’m sad to say She Takes great relief when the danger takes flight and pretty much tries to get some some sleep in the night time now…. Oh, but how majestic she was Her feet never touched the ground She never needed me but I needed her The change is there and we’ve gone right round I’m not sure if I’m cut out for this She needs someone of a different shape I’m a knight with a shield and not a whole lot more There’s holes letting light through my cape And it gets me down So down And I think it’s starting to show So what do you know? Falling apart for sure It’s done with little dignity Watch me burn out And I’ll return the favour The younger you would say it’s such a pity And they’d be right

Some of the Wind 00:45
lyrics
buy track
Some of the light from the sun Shined in your eyes when you were young Some of the wind blew through your hair Some of the dreams that I had Drove me so mad And led me down a path Nowhere
