C-90

Track 11 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

To Watch and Wonder

To watch and wonder is such a weight on my mind and I

Never realised you could 

Cry with anger and wield your pain like a knife and I

Need a little time to be free

The sacred slaughter of all that’s good in your life is fine

So long as you can find in your

Search for water, to tame the fire and to taste the wine

And find a little time to be free

Track 10 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

Someone

Somewhere there’s a place I can go, so that everybody knows I am somewhere

Sometimes I can hide from the me that I don’t need to be even sometimes

Somedays I am scared I might find that I’m not in your mind even somedays

Something makes me say what I fear so that everyone can hear me say something

Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified

Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified

Someone somewhere’s following me so everyone can see I am someone

Somehow I have opened the door to live forever more, maybe somehow

Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified

(Forever believe its true)

Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified

(You know we believe it too)

Track 9 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

Fire and Steam

She draws me in with siren’s thrall

She wraps me up to seal my fall

She knows my longings as she grows my fears

She feeds on lust washed down with tears

She casts emotion (she reels me in)

No competition (fools seldom win)

Spews ammunition (and so death begins)

Of rage and deception

With fire and steam she has brought us to extremes

She has torn out our hearts. Now we’re worlds apart… we are worlds apart.

She tracks my footsteps and my every key

She sits on (watches) every page I see

She gives me comfort in echoic room

As she tells her master of his doom

She leaves me wrestling (she feels me writhe)

In spun threads of emotion (to its source she climbs)

With slow evisceration (she bleeds me dry)   

She bleeds me for her potion

With fire and steam she has brought us to our knees

Yet we still feel the need to be hirelings at her feet

Track 8 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

Don't

Julie needs a friend to help

But those who can she cannot tell

Julies home alone

Suffocating in its love

Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine

Julie glides on steel

Just to prove the cold is real

She skates a frozen Baysville pool

I pray to god she won’t fall through

Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine

If you could hear what would I say?

D’you recall the time we had when stupid games we’d play?

And could you answer if I prayed?

Give it up, give it up, give it up, please

Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine

Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine

You're not fine

Track 7 from the Album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics

Shining Like the Sun

Too many dreams had come & gone for us to say this was the one

So many lights had died yet through the darkest clouds we saw you come

Shining like the sun, shining like the sun.

Too many times we talked of war with only battles others won

So many times we have been blinded to this perfect light you’ve shone

Shining like the sun, shining like the sun.

After all we’re just shadows of the ones we used to be

When I close my eyes our past is sometimes all that I can see

But open wide and futurelight comes pouring over me

Over me, over me

Shining like the sun, shining like the sun

Track 6 from the Album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

Beautiful Monster

Julie had a dream about a monster

It had tracked her down for a year or two

She’d hide for a while and he’d hunt down to find,

And every time she’d run, he’d follow after

Julie was so scared she cared for nothing

Broke down and cried with a friend who knew

Of all her fractious fears and while washing off her tears

She told her about her stupid monster:

“Hey Julie, there’s just hope in his head

You’ll see the hunger in his eyes is just to be with you

And the claws of his fingertips are to protect you from your foe

So don’t run, take his hand

He’s beautiful”

Julie knew she had to face the monster

I guess she knew she’d nothing left to lose

And if he ripped and heaved

To take the final breath she breathed

At least she knew she wouldn’t have to

“Hey Julie, there’s just hope in his head

You’ll see the hunger in his eyes is just to be with you

And the claws of his fingertips are to protect you from your foe

So don’t run, take his hand

He’s beautiful”

Track 5 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

Usaha

Usaha & I

never saw eye to eye

I never dreamed that I’d be seen to be beholden to your charms

And I never tried to stem the tide

And I, eye to eye, skin to skin

Face to face all cause to win

Side by side we lie.

Usaha and I

Never saw eye to eye

With all my dreams of liberty I didn’t mean to get drunk upon your love

And I never stopped to question why

And I, eye to eye, skin to skin

Face to face all cause to win

Side by side we lie

We lie and we lie

You hypnotise your people and play upon their fears

Tell your fools their dreams are true and black is white

Whisper to their feelings, cast away their tears

Sell the sun ‘til day is done and don’t ask why…

Track 4 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

Really Coming Down

Hey it’s really coming down…

I really thought the rain clouds would have thinned by now

But it seems the gods have still got tears to cry

There’s a roll of thunder in the Western sky

As we cower underneath the shade of vines

I really thought by now we would be out of it

But it seems the fates have still got more to give

Like a clash of wavelengths in a minor key

As our glasses chime to drown disharmony, it can be hard to see that

Even though there’s darkness cross the sky

Honey you know we’ve been through worse before and we’re still alive

‘Cos we’re in this thing for the long run and we won’t give up ‘til the rain is done

And it won’t be long, if we’ll both be strong, ’til we sip under sunnier skies

I didn’t know the world we’ve worked so hard to make

Could work its ways to make things seem so hard

Maybe it’s the minor in a major key

whose choral resolution is our destiny, well we soon will see ‘cos

Even though there’s lightning in the sky

Honey you know this plane has seen much worse yet still we fly

Cos we’re in this thing for the long run and we will not sleep ‘til the day is done

If we’ll both be strong then it won’t be long ’til we’re sipping under sunnier skies

We’ll be stepping into the sunshine, pushing on to the best of times

If we’ll both be strong then it won’t be long ’til we’re sipping under sunnier skies

Track 3 from the album C-90

Lyrics:

Weeping Willow

Oh how different the days when you’d listen in faith to every word I would say

How soon the pictures you made would be drawn in the shade of your blossoming rage

You’d come round in a whirl of sequins and of paint

And now your tables turn with passages of pain

I am I am your weeping willow

I am the pictures on your wall

I am the teardrops on your pillow

And I know you don’t heed me anymore

You were once but a child with a tear in your eye and a thirst for our lies

Now the truth that you seek is the cause of the meek and the hurt of their cries

You long to pave the world with justice and with rights

And as your passions whirl no touch can reach your cries

I am I am your weeping willow

I am the pictures on your wall

I am the teardrops on your pillow

And I know you don’t heed me anymore

Track 2 from C-90

Lyrics:

Wonderful Life

Take me away on the breeze, my loves if you please

From a world that gives nothing to a fool who believes

Carry me off to a day where Philotes’ reigns

Where the sweat of the blessed is humanity’s gain

And humanity’s gain, through the veil of philosophy,

Rides the Rawlian waves from the shores of Bernays’ belle epoque

Its a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life

Its a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life

Phineas gave man a gauge for to measure his ways

To being served by emotions but being never their slave

Fashion a world for me now that gives thought to the hows,

To the whys and wonders that conspire to confound

That conspire to confound against Galton’s autocracy

Ceding Spensoric ground to the dreams of some foolish sociocrat

Track 1 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan

Lyrics:

Time to Move Away

Julie had a dream that she lived within a picture

Of colours and brushstrokes clear

She lived among reds and greens and blues

Weaving lines of rich and varied views

She was scarred and scared when she learned

That her loved and precious painting was slowly fading in sunlights’ glare

She packed her bags and walked away

Into a sunset just turned to grey

Its time to move away

There’s nothing left to say

Julie found another home in another picture

Of charcoals, all shades of grey

One day she pulled the blinds and got such a shock

Black and white lines was all she got

Its time to move away

There’s nothing left to say

And so she flees the dying skies

In search of form and colour

Wishing that sun would emerge from rain once again

That summer smiles emerge from tears…

Its time to move away

There’s nothing left to say

Concession can’t be saved

There is no grey, its time to move away

Its time to move away

There’s nothing left to say

Nuance has found its grave

The birdbrains made it time to move away
