@ALBUM: Smells Like Truth @ARTIST: Laurie Freelove 1991 Chrysalis CCD 1849 @SONG: Smells Like Truth (Laurie Freelove) Above all things we were looking out to all things that could be known And what of vision and what of prisoners oh what of love when the love is gone? I'm looking back now oh for the moment something's gone wrong here I need more clues I need reason I need reason Tell me something that smells like truth Smells like truth Smells like truth Smells like truth Do you remember what we were saying dancing naked outside ourselves? And what of running and moving faster oh what of holding on and standing still? I'm looking back now oh for the siren her song of spirit will torch my youth Oh I want reason I want reason Tell me something that smells like truth Smells like truth Smells like truth Smells like truth Do you remember why you were looking? Where are you now oh where did you go? And what of bridges oh did you cross them? What of your kings and queens of hope I'm looking back now I've gone to find you these times are crazy these times are hard And I want reason I want reason Tell me something that smells like truth Smells like truth Smells like truth Smells like truth Above all things we were looking out to all things that could be known @SONG: Eyes (Laurie Freelove) Eyes are guides Tone eyes call Tell me anything say it, anything, well eyes want to know What's that in your eyes? What's that in your face? What are in the sounds, those words you never make? Eyes, touching Eyes, talking Talking talking talking over Looking looking looking under Breath so low wind my way You'll walk away from me But leave me completely - no - well eyes, like memories on my skin Do I touch your face? Do I take your hand Do I say the things that we both understand? Eyes, touching Eyes, talking Talking talking talking over Looking looking looking under Eyes @SONG: Arms Of A Dream (Laurie Freelove) Guard my soul if you can feel it and hold me close while I'm still breathing don't hide away Gaze upon the stars at midnight the moonbeams shine is mine and no ones to hide away Hide, hide away Powered on by a lonely night and the only gods I can see War raging upon this world in the moon and stars within me I feel them calling me but I cannot go I want to stay awake in the arms of my dreams if all alone then all alone Bared to me this frail life's sorrow well I've had mine and none was borrowed you'll never know Scaling walls of stone and lumber above the yields of life's true wonders I watched you climb and Hide, hide away Powered on by a lonely pulse but the only beat you can feel A broken heart in your armoured chest pounding down it's enemies' heels I've felt you stalking me but I would not turn I'll stand you to the death with the arms of my own mind and soul mind and soul Songs of love your lips have swallowed with heavy tears that knew no pardons love fell away Left to fend your verses honor with poets pen to tend no other takes will from jade Will, will from jade Powered on by the lonely wounds of your childhood insanity Caution steels you against the ghost of it's aging memories I've felt them haunting me but where could they go if I walk away with dreams In the arms of my own stronger hold stronger hold? @SONG: (If You) Walk Away Awhile (Laurie Freelove) If you walk away awhile listen up and lay real low you will hear the scheme of things breaking down and shifting loose somebody is on the line If you listen carefully tune in and make no deals stop the tick of the second hand spin it 'round and start again somebody is on the line (Chorus) If you walk away awhile loosen up and take it slow you will hear the sounds of things things you always wanted to know well, somebody's on the line And I won't do any harm to check the line let the message through and I won't do any harm to check the cards they've been dealing you it's high time you knew you've been holding a card that's wild now throw it higher you've been holding a card that's wild now throw it higher than high High, high, high If you walk away awhile let the moon take a shine to you pitch your shoes through the ever was dance in the rain of barefoot and touch well, somebody's on your line If you listen carefully tune in and click your heels close your eyes let the magic fall every space every place that you are well, somebody is on your line (Chorus) @SONG: Heaven On Earth (Laurie Freelove) There's a light that plays in every shadow While the moon, it tugs at ocean tides There are roots growing underneath the gravel This is life, eternal on the prowl And it's born into our living Like a breath of ancient wild We're anchored to its wisdom We're in the orbit of its power somehow Oh, but somehow (Chorus) We are still longing soul after soul Dancing in shadows that fall from the moon We are still yearning touch after touch Reaching to heaven for what's here on this earth Here on this earth now oh All that binds this fate to us is hidden away in gods and flags and walls of faith That fear has some place But fear has no place Not on this earth There is love behind an angry eye And there is hope inside a fearful heart And this is truth just waiting to unravel Our lives eternal in its power Oh While the earth and moon are spinning Romancing satellites Faithful to a rhythm An extraordinary rhyme somehow Oh, but somehow (Chorus) @SONG: Haunted (Laurie Freelove) Moments are tarnished it's a sound in the wind I hear a voice I'd like to talk to again a voice full of whispers and clever details ear to a breast it's a ghost light so pale Where are you tonight? Hiding in shadows in the personnel file flashbacks on pages oh they're under denial well I'm looking away but there is heart in my ears murder so close that her blood tastes sincere Well who am I tonight? All connections were safer for you All relations were waiting for you Haunting me with failing you fades out forgotten fades out forgotten fade, fade, fades out Near to a year now I've been waiting to heal talking to ghosts sometimes seems just as real as the cold in her eyes where contempt still resides small as a friendship a betrayal so inspired Well who is she tonight? Lover or loser, now, now who can tell games play with fools who don't play them so well but now is the time, it's the place to begin ghosts haunt that life but it's not where I live Who are we tonight? Underline your needs have won Underscores your word undone Haunting me with wasted love fades out forgotten fades out forgiven fade, fade, fades out @SONG: White Hail (Laurie Freelove) Who minds the corners where the dust settles soft elusive and hardly worth more than a thought? It falls all night long, all day long and it hangs on the ceiling there high over head dust threads together a seasonal web it grew all night long, all day long and it fell like a white hail Falling alive on my windowpane falling alive on my windowsill old as starlight in the sky showering down all through the night well I must see my way clear of it Cause it hangs like a madness like a figure of speech concealing the visions when the words will not speak it goes on and on, all day long while I stand in the doorway, there searching for clues is life dustlike stillborn, just a dust falling through? I'll wait all night long, all day long I'll be waiting through a white hail Falling alive on my windowpane falling alive on my windowsill old as starlight in the sky showering down all through the night well I must see my way clear of it Well I'm sweeping up the hallways and I'm wiping the glass searching for something buried under these ashes all life long, all life long and I'm listening to the ever in a forever clock ticking off the minutes will the dust ever stop? I'll wait all life long, all life long I'll be waiting through a white hail Falling alive on my windowpane falling alive on my windowsill old as starlight in the sky showering down all through the night well I must see my way clear of it @SONG: O My Heart (Laurie Freelove) You said everything that you had to say you've felt everything that you had to feel you know when a thing is or is not real like a rebel in the crossfire of a patriots tears You've been looking in the eyes of treachery and death your pulse growing weak like your last living breath you know about losing and placing your bets but the dance on the grave of your name's not over yet Ah you reckon with your chances take them up with god god takes his aim and throws up his arms he lays you on the cross of your own immortal soul and screams fire in your ears, you must never let go Oh my heart, oh, oh my heart No matter how hard you're hit No matter how hard you're hit You never let go you never let go Never let go never let go You thought you should belong to eternal bliss singing with the angels and dancing with spirits lighting up the darkness with the stains on your soul burning for the good of things you never have known Now you've taken every punch from the center ring counting down to zero with blood on your fingers falling from the crowds without medals of honour away from the violent side of love and its brother Now you're back to chasing shadows in the alleyways just when everyone thought you'd disappeared you're back to counting blessings with the few who would know that no matter how hard you're hit, you would never let go Oh my heart, oh, oh my heart No matter how hard you're hit No matter how hard you're hit You never let go you never let go Never let go never let go @SONG: Getting Close (Laurie Freelove) What you takin' on what you makin' go when nobody like the way it shows up on your face? Tell me up your heart make me up your words If you say "somebody else" one day I would Look you in the eye dance out on your beat depend on nothing ever coming closer to reality You're fragile I know it sweet child c'mon won't you tell me how, how to get closer how, how to get closer? Did you ever think this could not be done? Wait a minute lover won't you stay you're the one? Who takes me in some arms rolls me in a heat talks me into circles no I won't be leaving So, you can touch me now you can make me feel depend on nothing ever coming closer to reality You're fragile I know it sweet child but c'mon won't you tell me how, how to get closer how, how to get closer? @SONG: Song To The Siren (Laurie Freelove) On the floating shipless ocean I did all my best to smile Till your singing eyes and fingers drew me lovingly to your isles And you sang sail to me, sail to me come let me enfold you. Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you. Did I dream, you dreamed about me were you there when I was forced out? Now my foolish boat is leaning broken love upon your rocks and you sang Touch me not, touch me not come back tomorrow. All my heart, all my heart shattered with sorrow. I'm as puzzled as the newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide Should I stand amid the breakers or should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing sail to me, sail to me come let me enfold you. Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
