0:00 - 'The Angel In The House' I'd kill you for some money For a long life of loneliness Pockets full of rubbish And cupboards full of wine So howsabout it honey? Let me drown you in the lake tonight Stab you in the back For a hundred bits of stone And I hope you die And you know why I won't cry alone You kept me in the kitchen Your angel in the house Sweeping up the carpet For nothing but a smile I'll send you to the madhouse And lock you in for none to see While I live in a fantasy A jewel-encrusted lie And I hope you die And you know why I won't cry alone “When I behold the skies aloft Passing the pageantry of dreams, The cloud whose bosom, cygnet-soft, A couch for nuptial Juno seems, The ocean broad, the mountains bright, The shadowy vales with feeding herds, I from my lyre the music smite, Nor want for justly matching words. All forces of the sea and air, All interests of hill and plain, I so can sing, in seasons fair, That who hath felt may feel again.” (Excerpt From: Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore. “Angel in the House.”) So howsabout it honey Let me drown you in the lake tonight Stab you in the back But I won't feel alone 2:22 - 'Tatters' If you look through the holes in my shoes You'll find my soul in tatters Too stubborn to take out the stones From walking in the desert But I was born for the devil I've been raised for nights like this 3:54 - 'At Last, My Atlas' I would hear your heart I would wash your feet I would be your servant Just to earn my keep To earn my place in your palace To earn my place in your mind To earn a little happiness I need a little time And all I'm trying to say Is I deserve more than one day I would hear your heart I would feel it beat Listen to the palpitations Rhythmically complete Tell me all of your problems I'd help you with your grief I would pay you compliments I would be your relief And all I'm trying to do Is do right by you I would hear your heart I've never listened before Every beat is beauty That over-pours That little look in your eyes That little glimpse in your smile Tells me we will be together It's the reason why I'm spending all of my time With you on my mind I wouldn't really mind But there's one thing I just can't find 6:31 - 'Railway Tracks' If you'd just stop and listen I'd show you what you're missing But I don't think you care much Moving in and out of touch I'll take the railway tracks to you So say you'll meet me in the waiting room Though you terrify me You know you fascinate me So open up those blue eyes And end those breathless sighs I'll take the railway tracks to you So say you'll meet me...
