    Lyrics:


    My Lowest Tide


    I was standing by the water when I first realised

    That just a step beneath the water and troubles never rise

    I was cold and lonely and I, I cried:

    My lowest tide


    I was standing by the water when I first saw the light

    That death was just below the water where jilted lovers dive

    I was cold and low but I survived

    My lowest tide


    'Cos everybody changes, everybody changes now

    You will too, cos everybody changes now


    I was young and I was green

    You are too but everybody changes now

    You just need to find your feet

    You’ll pull through, ‘cos everybody changes now


    I was cold and low and now I know

    My lowest tide is over now

    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

    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
