1.	Mark Lewis Heavenor - Fifty Five 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Broke down on Fifty-Five By the burning grounds in an empty night Jesus alive in the TV light They settled right down In this town On the edge of an empty bed They'll hold their heads And sing Sing it loud, sing as if to cry Out at the dark, out at the sky Sing it though you don't know why And I'm just flesh and bone I'm older, I want to hold her Till my time is up And I've spent all my luck The last hours will pass like sips from a cup Flashlight in the photograph Made you look, made you laugh Hold it close, make it last We settled right down without a sound Save the best, The last request, The gilded moon, That never goes down
2.	St Vitus in the Vineyards 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Will you come Like you said you would Make my strange tongue Understood Floor number nine Blue TV light The Saints they shamble In the vineyards at night And I'm sitting here Wishing I was bold Wishing I was bold And when you come I might be old Ripe like pears Skin burnt gold But there's static On my radio The Saints they shamble in the vineyards that glow And I'm sitting here Wondering if you're real Darling are you real? Are you standing outside? Are you knocking on my door? Are you pounding on my floor? Speak Why don't you Speak
3.	Carousel 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Little battles And riding lights The fading glitter and roses in winter Colour the carousel Has time drawn lines on you? Painted horses and smiles on parade Children’s fingers and smiles that linger On the carousel Has time been kind to you? All gone quiet Under a fingernail moon There’s no more laughter or games thereafter By the carousel Has time smiled on you
4.	Young Boy 03:57	lyrics	buy track
I split my lip By the old carousel Stood still on a yellow road Under an old yellow moon as well There lived a carpenter He would laugh when I would frown Bruises in winter and redwood that splintered Covered his skin and the ground Would you burn it all down To build it back up again Or would you have a very nice life And think about God sometimes When your lover came home After leaving in the night Did you tremble like a flame when they were calling out your name Or did you stand up and put up a fight I met a young boy prospector Opening up the ground Tidal waves and barricades Were all that he’d found When we most wanted it In our greatest hour of greed The dust cracked and spit At all our strange beliefs Would you burn it all down To build it back up again Or would you have a very nice life And think about God sometimes I've done it again The falling on my face I'm a fool when I'm in the love I'm a king when I'm in disgrace
5.	Florida 04:17	lyrics	buy track
Birthday balloons At the end of the year End of the year Jet engines At the bottom of the sea Of the sea Florida I've never been Never been
