Pendragon - Alaska

And once again we'll be as one with the Earth
Far from the scorched pyramids
Our Sunday slippers, Mum there's no kippers in the freeze
And once again we'll be as one with the Earth
Far from our catastrophic crimes
I'll be back with you before I die
And once again we'll be at home with Alaska
Next time you see her cruel face
Why don't you get around to ask her?
She'll hurt you with her smile
We'll suffer her just for a while

And once again we'll be at home with the Earth
Next time you see her cruel face
Why don't you ask her?
Why don't you ask her?
Why don't you ask her?

Pendragon-Empathy

As God sits with His head in His hands, tapping His pen on the ashtray
Cos the humans just don’t get ugly

Back from the dead with your head in your hands
Banging your fists on the table like a monkey

In these words from Solomon’s hand, everything I know must pass
It’s the only way I can grow

Passion? Give me some empathy (don’t let me down)

You took the car to the highest viewing point
A place of outstanding natural beauty, where everything is plain to see

This intoxicating mixture of self loathing and ecstasy
I wish I could just be grateful, the more I live the less I know

It’s only spinning molecules, racing back and forth
So why does it feel so bad?
If this energy exists forever, everything you need to know you already know

Cos I’m signing on the dole, and I’m signing my life away
I just want you to know how this makes me feel today
I don’t care what you write or what you say about me
Cos I just wanna see some empathy
Cos most of us are too afraid to come out in the sunlight
And get shot down in flames for what we believe is right
This makes me shit scared and scarred
Like the fire in the sky is like the fire in your heart
And I don’t need to be ripping myself apart for you, for you
But the time has come to understand the depths of the soul
And it’s at your most broken you will understand
Like we do, like we do, for you for you for you for you...

Pendragon-Shane!

(1st Astronaut)
'That looks like Istanbul down there'
(2nd Astronaut)
'No it's Vienna'
(1st Astronaut)
'There's Buffalo'
(2nd Astronaut)
'Ah, Buffalo Schmuffalo'

Shane you've gotta lay down your guns
Pick up the pieces and start again
Shane you've gotta bury away the past
Lose the hatchet and try again
Shane you've gotta realise
It's the way of the world that you made
Shane you've got to lay the ghost to rest
Of another time and back to the grave

And Shane the friends we make old
seem somehow to drift away
How can you feel alone with all
the people that you know?
All those friendly faces that
reflect from empty bars
But you will always be a friend of mine
