Wholly humble heart
Every man must have his castle, and feel a hand caress his nape
Everybody needs a good friend, to give their secrets too
I too am no exception, I too need to be loved
I too desire a good friend, hopefully that is you
There is no time to kiss a statue, someone who purely looks the part
One who transcends onto another
Wholly humble heart
Wholly humble heart
Wholly humble heart
I share a friend who is a gay boy, she tells me he is full of love
Let Malcolm too be no acceptation, I wish him someone to love
For it takes a while to rekindle, no matter how many you manage to fool
For the first bite makes the deepest teethmarks, those wounds take a pretty long time to heel
There is no time to kiss a statue, someone who purely looks the part
One who transcends onto another
Wholly humble heart
Wholly humble heart
Wholly humble heart

There comes a time
There comes a time, when nerves they have enough
There comes a time, when this life should be thine
They scratch and tear, at every part of me
I shall resign? there comes a time?
Place both these hands, in pure loneliness
Im not afraid, for it’s all that I have known
To be and fly, toward safe insane
Give me my reigns, I shall resign
There comes a time, when no more leaves can fall
We must walk forth, fo meet the fatal night
We must be there, I shall be there
Im walking now, there comes a time
The tears are gone, the pain is over now
Leave this here carcass t which the way he’d like
My soul is mine, not torn to shreds
I have my reigns, there comes a time

Look down look down
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
And clear!
At school he was about six feet seven long
He was a target where kids fired their sarcasm
And his ankles were so thin he could hardly walk
And he sure had a beautiful face and his butt knew how to talk
Yes the art guy was the closest friend he had
Still he manipulated him like a kid with a badge
A red white and blue badge
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
And clear!
These colours are the colours of his state
Which show a tendency that lead towards his fate
The red portrays the blood spilled on his gown
And the blue is for the water where he drowned
The white portrays the third question of conscience
Oh Mr Neitzche and his philosophies can wait
Actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
Look down look down
Speak loud speak loud
And clear!

Running Water
Some other time Mr crime
Go fill your pockets with your slime
You’re in the nick till eighty nine
See you round, in a decades time
For my destinations a horizontal line
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud
But I’m glad that it’s manslaughter not murder why they put you away
And I hope those rusty bars don’t block the view because it’s all the view you’ve got
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud
You robbed a garage with a gun
The old man heart attacked and died you run
It was a replica Roy cooked up in his room
Well I hope the grapevine’s spinning me a yarn
For guns like that shouldn’t do guys any harm
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud
But I’m glad that it’s manslaughter not murder why they put you away
And I hope those rusty bars don’t block the view because it’s all the view you’ve got
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud
Watch the running come down from a thundery cloud

Candle in the middle
Should your mood be decrepit or your manner insane
If your father he hit you or your dog become lame
When the walls are all cold with no presence to share
Place a candle in the middle sit by yourself
Yes a candle in the middle is a problem shared
Should your speed become slow with your grasp a caress
If the problems they grow to a way beyond beware
When you're desolate daunted or derry boat blue
Place a candle in the middle think hollow flame
Buy a bottle of pop smoke a sweet cigarette
Yes a candle in the middle is a problem shared
Written Autumn 1984, An alternative Country & Western poem in 3/4 timing.
Apparently, according to the editor of USA music magazine No Depression,
this is the first time that the phrase 'Alt Country' was termed.
