Track 12 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan
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

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
