Lyrics -
The Great Believer
I am The Great Believer
I shall stand in line
You are the great deceiver
That yarn you spin so fine
Neither for rhyme nor reason
You cast your words unjust
Here comes the great intriguer
Take heed you know we must
That snake he caused this mess
Masquerading in the flesh
The ass is in the Lion's skin tonight
The moon is not made of cheese
To suspend ones own disbelief
Is to stand alone in the dark
They call it naivety
I am The Great Believer
I shall take my time
You are the great deceiver
Bridges you will burn
Time is the only teaser
As to fact or fallacies proof
Here comes the great intriguer
Take heed he knows the truth
That snake he caused this mess
Masquerading in the flesh
The ass is in the Lion's skin tonight
The moon is not made of cheese
To suspend ones own disbelief
Is to stand alone in the dark
They call it naivety.
Timothy Grass
Oh my oh my
I saw love deep in your eyes
I watched time go fleeting by
I became what I despise
All the words I said were wrong
Bare foot in limbo for too long
Waiting for that day
I watched you pass
Alone in the Timothy Grass
I thought it would last
I thought it would last
Tell me damsel why do you cry
Where do you go when you wander at night
It's perfect the story of you
A little alarming I hope that it's true.
Devil and the Angels - • Ivan Campo - The Devil...
Woodcutters Daughter -
She charmed the fish from the water
And left me to cradle my head
I kissed the Woodcutters Daughter
But I long for your loving instead
Oh I long for your loving instead
Suitor he carried a torch for thee
Wanten impeded by love
Fair maidens' prayer he was answering
But another lay claim to her love
When God forbode
Beelzebub rose
And I suppose
That was the day Jesus wept
She charmed the fish from the water
And left me to cradle my head
I kissed the Woodcutters Daughter
But I long for your loving instead
Oh I long for your loving instead
Boots that were battered by rambling
Breeches frayed at the knees
Flandering out into make believe
One guinea infinite zeal
Which God forbode
Beelzebub rose
And I suppose
That was the day Jesus wept
The Sun set upon the water
My breast bone a hearty old pain
I kissed the Woodcutters Daughter
But I long for your loving in vain
Oh I long for your loving in vain.
Harlequinade - • Ivan Campo - Harlequinade
Eyam -
One two three four five six seven they fell
And the church bell never did toll
Good souls on their way to heaven
Seven six five four three two one they're gone
A husband, daughters and son
Good souls on their way to heaven.
Crow and the Magpie -
How high did you get, how much did you see
The horizon the zenith the old oak tree
The gentleman's relish the peep show for free
A memory of was and what was not to be
The Crow and the Magpie calling for me
Hark the angels above
It's the season of love
And nobody knows you quite like karma does
Listen to Venus sing
Watch the pendulum swing
Waiting for Cupids' sting
With the swiftness of seasons the rain always pours
Clandestine believers they march in their scores
The dreamy and dusty is so easily bored
The shadows are chasing the digits are free
The Crow and the Magpie are circling me
Hark the angels above
It's the season of love
And nobody knows you quite like Karma does
Listen to Venus sing
Watch the pendulum swing
Waiting for Cupids' sting
Tomorrow will be alright
It's a starry starry night.
