Track Name: Mad Masters
I've got to keep moving
I've got to keep moving
There's a hellhound on my trail

Leave me be you mad masters

Sometimes I can't fight the guilt
It engulfes me
Consumes me whole
I can't stand it
I want to be a better man
Need to make a stand
In the morning I feel so pure but
I go slip sliding through the day
It gets to night and I feel so ragged
Need an upper purer than the best
I need to get myself away from this
Living in a pipe dream
This is no ordinary state of mind

Leave me be you mad masters

I've got to keep moving
I've got to keep moving
There's a hellhound on my trail
Track Name: Lament For Jackie
Young Jack Elpert got lost today
He sat on his bike and sped away
Little legs spinning as fast as they could
Showing to the world how quick he could go
But Jackie you've lost your family now
Jackie you need to find them somehow
Father couldn't keep up his old legs with the pace
Older brother in his own world
He didn't give chase
Jackie where are you know
Jackie come back somehow

Evil hides in pretty places
Evil hides in honest faces
Child in danger
Child in danger
Jackie you should not trust that man
Jackie you should not hold his hand
Terrified of losing his grip on the world
Projecting to another
Dark memories unfurl
Jackie you're in trouble now
Jackie you need to run somehow

Someone please intervene
Someone please help him

Young Jack Elpert got lost today
He sat on his bike and sped away
Silly boy
Poor smile boy
It all turned out so wrong
Track Name: Echo And Narcissus
When I see myself
Such a beautiful suffocation
What a heavenly stimulation
I'm drowning in the light
Blinded by the sight

Echos of a love
A meaningless exchange
Anyone I want
Falls into my arms
And death is not my curse
Maybe a new start
There isn't enough space in one heart

And I question why
I'm never happy
The questioning subsides

When I see myself
Such a beautiful suffocation
What a heavenly stimulation
I'm drowning in the light
Blinded by the sight

Together and alone
Muted in my shame
The one who is my love
Lies blind forever
Hung on every word
With such a bitter taste
I yearn for him to hear the voice of my heart.

When I see myself
Such a beautiful suffocation
What a heavenly stimulation
I'm drowning in the light
Blinded by the sight
Track Name: Architect's Son
Pen to paper on a lonely
Day week month year
He lives only for his visions
He will stay true
All these visions
Find their way through

Soon these shapes will fill the sky
How could someone imagine such beauty
And after all is built and done
I am left an architect's son

Form and colour
Lights will tumbe
Through your eyesight
You'll be humbled
Line square circle
All his plans will
Serve their purpose
Through his deft hands

And soon these shapes will fill the sky
How could someone imagine such beauty
And after all is built and done
I am left an architect's son

Watch her fly across these sand dunes
Dream so high and we can excuse
Human traits
Which keep us on solid ground

Soon these shapes will fill the sky
How could someone imagine such beauty
And after all is built and done
I am left an architect's son

Pen to paper on a lonely
Day week month year
He lives only...
Track Name: London Loves You
London loves you through the buildings of old
London loves you through the history told
London loves you through the art and the gallery

London loves you through the schools and traditions
London loves you through a new world vision
London loves you through the relic and legacy

London loves you through the pubs on the towpath
London loves you through the churches and stained glass
London loves you through Sir Christopher Wren

London loves you through the gardens and palaces
London loves you through the sun on the River Thames
London loves you through the Egg and the Gherkin

London loves you through the strain and the headache
London loves you through the rush and the heartbreak
London loves you through addiction and white line

London loves you through extortionate pricing
London loves with unaffordable housing
London loves you like prey in the wild

London loves you through pierogi and pivo
London loves you through the kibbeh and sausage roll
London loves you through the Aussie's and Kiwi's

London loves you through the mosque and the synangogue
London loves you through the coptic and orthodox
London loves you through the new in the old docks

London loves you with a withered identity
London loves you through a splintered community
London loves you like a friend and an enemy

London loves you like the playground of filthy rich
London loves you like the ruthless and mean bitch
London loves you like the whore of the traveller

London loves you through the anger and protest march
London loves you through a number and photo-card
London loves you with the death of a new start

London loves you with a heart of democray
London loves you with the lessons of history
London loves you through the years and the centuries

London loves you like a mother with child
London loves you like prey in the wild
