Track Name: Jumbo Jet
Jumbo Jet

I've sat on an alp as if it were my throne
But I can't describe the feeling I get
Staring out the window of a jumbo jet
It's all so real

I've stood in the dead sea
like a miser's bath
but if there's a better feeling I've not felt it yet
staring out the window of a jumbo jet
it's all so real

Take me back to my home
Please say it's raining there
Take me back to my home
Please say it's raining there

I'm Icarus I'm Gulliver
But I can't describe the feeling I get
Staring out the window of a Jumbo Jet
it's all so real

Quilted baize and candy floss
if there's a better feeling I’ve not felt it yet
staring out the window of a jumbo jet

Take me back to my home
Please say it's raining there
Take me back to my home
Please say it's raining there

I feel a languishment
But that's all it is
I can't describe the feeling I get
Staring out the window of a jumbo jet
It's all so real...

Take me back to my home
Please say it's raining there
Take me back to my home
Please say it's raining there
Track Name: From Russia With Love
From Russia With Love

Death Spray chokes my lungs
locks up my tongue
can't cage the secrets sung
With chemicals I can barely pronounce
I'm ready to denounce
the truth is ready to pounce

And I gave up reading the news
many years ago
I read toilet walls now
they tell me everything I need to know

I died with my family near
and men with flashbulbs and notepads
found out I was here

Observe me where I lay
I turn my head away
to hear my little boy say
'I painted daddy a picture, Mum
but why is he so sleepy?'
And I prayed for him
and I prayed for everyone

In your conscience I will stay
In sleepless nights
you will pay
and next time my name is said
a raven will tread upon your head
and peck out your eyes
drag you up into the skies
to me where I'll sit there and grin
and ask 'why did you bring him here,
with his record you'll never get in.'
