Some lyrics…
Life is not rational, you better lead with the heart,
It cuts to the quick, so deep and so sharp There's a blue note that bends
What use in opinions about the way that it should be And it bends around bad news
Look to the chance, look to the living It does not protect
"Love is Not Faint of Heart" But it does not confuse
"Child of the Blues"
Is there a crime, that I must commit
A shoe, designed for me to fit Heart is a message, heart is an angel
A face, and I’m supposed to look like it Inside of you
"The Refugee" Heart is a mind, heart is a well
So it's true, this rumour of a soul Heart is true
So it's true, this rumour of a love that won't let go Keep your heart tuned
"Ain't It Something" And life, will not find you, too blue
"Heart is a Message"
I don't believe in angels
Because I see them every day Here's a little plan for a man or a mouse
I don't believe in a lot of things Hate your neighbour for a nice little house
Since I began to pray With a nice little lawn and a green lawn mower
"Weathervanes" A fascist red gas can and some plenty-grower
You can spend your day in the garden with the bugs
If you just vote for the man who pushes violent drugs
"Violent Drugs"
I had a friend who fell so deeply
That she became an angel to him The hotels were all booked up
And he told me that he actually heard them And we hadn't a place to stay
Bells ringing when she came into the room Then we found one way over-priced
When his love came in the room And I finally allowed us to pay
"The Grace of Loving You" But I didn't know you were planning
To leave me anyway
Take the flowers out of the water On a routine night, in a routine town
I tell you the obituary lied The desk staff joined hands with the maid
I never once broke through And we fell on our knees to pray
And made love true "The Cathedral"
I was just an ordinary guy
"The Obituary Lied" I could stay here forever underneath these stars
I could stay here forever, darling in your arm
Justine, two crows are walking on our lawn If there was one gift I could give to you
Justine, two crows are walking on our lawn It would be a night like this
I dare to turn my back, one of them is gone It would be a sensation
"Justine" "Song For Kitsilano"
And we look up, to the stars
Somebody measured how far
And we look down, to our hands
To the lines and the prospects, the visions and the plans
And all these things, we must lose, when we die
From time to time
"Time to Time"
