@ALBUM: Blood @ARTIST: This Mortal Coil I said I'd post these when I got around to typing them in so here they are Unfortunately (isn't there always some bad news) they are not complete. Below you'll find all of the lyrics that I have so far managed to figure out. The underscores indicate bits I haven't got yet, and {} are bits I'm not sure about. Besides that, I'm bound to have made a few mistakes, and in particular the second half of one of the songs is missing because I got sick of trying to work it out and forgot to have another go. The reason I'm posting these unfinished is to try to convince somebody else to finish the task. Please send any suggestions as to the missing bits or corrections or comments in general to me. I do hope to complete these and produce the Postscript source, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. I also offered to post a full review - sorry that'll have to wait also :-( BTW [] indicates backing vocals (well quiet anyway) And without further ado - -- x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Dan Simoes work: sdans_watson.ibm.com Phone: 914.945.2456 IBM TJW Research Center school: dan_mville.edu (Manhattanville College) Yorktown Heights, NY 10598 home: dans_danix.UUCP (not working yet :-)) @SONG: THE LACEMAKER dreams are like water, colourless and dangerous @SONG: MR.

have thought it was a dream while you were here with me when you were near I didn't think you would leave when you were gone it was too much to believe so with tomorrow, I will borrow another moment
