Patrick Wolf Album

It's wonderful what a smile can hide
If the teeth shine right and it's nice and wide
It's so magical what you can keep inside
And if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no.

So come on now, open wide, open up now.
Don't you think it's time
To look back at that boy on his way to school
Such a heavy heart, such a heavy jewel hiding something that one day he'll sell
But now if no one shows, no one tells a thing, no.

So come on love, open wide, open up now
Don't you think it's time

Now after all these years you are at last opening was it worth all that war just to win
So caught up in the speed of the days in your sin
Don't forget how the story begins no
Don't forget now.

Now I'm seeing all your lovers and enemies
They've been turining their keys so full of need
All trying to see that sure you keep
What makes it shine, what makes it mine
But I don't care.

Just come on now, open wide.
Open up now.
There's so much love for what you'll find.

But what will you find!

Now after all these years you are at last opening
Was it worth all that war just to win.

If it was can you take me back to where it begins
Come and take me back to where it begins
Come and take me back to where it begins
Come on, open wide and let some light in.

Let us in.
Let us in

So let the people talk
It's Monday morning walk
Right past the fabulous mess we're in
It's gonna be a beautiful day
So do the bluebirds sing
As I take your hand
And you take my kiss
And I take the world
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through

It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position
To live, to learn, to love in the major key

And I know how you've hurt
And been dragged through the dirt
But c'mon get back up
It's the time to live
So give your love to me
I'm gonna keep it carefully
Deep in the treasure chest below my breast
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through

It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position, darling now
Let me put you in the magic position, darling
'Cause I'm singing in the, the major key

Let me put you in the major key

Emergency!

So c'mon,
Give me the worst and then again
I'm feeling braver than I've ever been
From the skull down to the feet
All out for blood and sweat and meat
and for

Accident! Emergency!
To terrorists, catastrophe
Drop this agony, and misery
Give me accident and emergency.

So what happens when you lose everything?
You just carry on and with a grin
(Sing!)
For all that your life has to bring,
And just get yourself back into the ring.
(Knock it out!)

For accident and emergency
To terrorists, catastrophe
Drop this agony, and misery
Hold on for accident and emergency.

If you never lose
How you gonna know when you won
If it's never dark
How you gonna know the sun
When it shines
You've got to let it shine

(Accident. Emergency.
Accident. Emergency.
C'mon!
Accident. Emergency.
Accident. Emergency.
C'mon!)

Accident and emergency
bringing out the best in me

Down in the park
And the lust of the light
Among the stray dogs and families
I smell the bonfires, and
Watch the bonbs
Fireworks burst above the trees
And to pillows of white cloud, and
Another year has gone
Now it is the fifth of november
I lock the doors, and
Swallow the key
And draw the curtains, closed forever
Forever

Lucy, remember
The smell of that fall
The fires of fungus
And the rotting leaves

I fell off the wagon
Into your arms
Into this long month of sundays

And you were my husband
My wife, my heroin
Now this is our final December

Now deep in a forest
Losing all though of spring
And nothing can help me remember
And I'm going nowhere fast
A darker day has holed at last
Deep in a dream I set the calmness to spinning

And your love has come too late
Away from the garden gate
Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing

Now that it's over after all that we had
A river runs through the rafters down, down, down
Does it leave me sleeping? Dreaming only of spring
The phone rings out and I remember
But I'm going nowhere fast
A darker day has holed at last
Deep in this dream I set the calmness to spinning

And your love has come too late
Now wave to the garden gate
Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing
Ringing, ringing, ringing
Wanna hear them ringing, my love
Wanna hear them ringing
Ringing...

PATRICK: magpie, was it you who stole the wedding ring? or what other thieving bird would steal such hope away? magpie, i am lost among the hinterland, caught among the bracken and the fern and the boys who have no name.

MARIANNE: there's no name for us.

PATRICK: still we sing.

MARIANNE: and still we sing. little boy, little boy, lost and blue, listen now, let me tell you what to do. you can run on, run along, alone or home between the knees of her; all among her bracken and her ferns and the boy will have a name.

BOTH: we will sing.

MARIANNE: and we will sing.

MARIANNE: one for sorrow.

PATRICK: two for joy.

MARIANNE: three for a girl.

PATRICK: four for a boy.

MARIANNE: five for silver.

PATRICK: six for gold.

MARIANNE: seven for a secret, never to be told

[No lyrics]

As the belltower blocks the sunlight
All the seeds in our garden fight
To break and blossom all to be adored
And look your skirt is torn
And there's blood on my sheets
Here comes a lowman of the law
Fist tight, banging on the door
And knocking me down on it's weight
And I let him in
As I pass out into a dream
Whooping cranes and woodland beigns
Great white wings beating
In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night
Singing, oh! My Augustine, Augustine!
Oh! Is this forever, ever? Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
What does this mean for us?
Does it mean that I can never change my ways
And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay
Still you will and love me
Like a mother, or a maid bringing you down, down
Down on your brazen knees
Watering the worms and weeds
Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold
And I'm getting old
And is this what it should be
Well... Is it?
Oh! My Augustine, Augustine!
Oh! Is this forever, ever? Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
Do we kill this one tonight?
And now come the tears, heavy and hot
It becomes clear, this is all we got
As I hold you to my bed
Like a cancer or a curse
Be my loving nurse
As we fall back into the impossible dream

Turn the key
Open
Open
Down down down
Down down down
Down down down

Lets go
Lets go my love

We could go to the cinema
Big effects and big named stars
And we can go to that private view
But darling these days my favorite view is you
Lets just bend the invitation
And leave our bikes down at the station
Lose our sense of direction
There’s nothing here to lose

Oh you will run
Come get lost with me
Slip away discreetly
You’re my love
So come away with me
Lets get lost till empty

We could stay here till closing time
But the drinks are flat and the price is a crime
We could dance till our feet turn red
But the beats so boring
And I’d rather be home in our bed

This towns skipping like a record
Reruns get me so bored
So with enough that I can afford
Lets get lost
Again

Yeah we will run
Come get lost with me
Slip away discreetly
You’re my love
Come get lost with me
Till we run on empty

Lets go
Lets go
You’re my love come get lost with me
You’re my love come till empty
Lets go

Enchanted, enchanted
This magical place that we've found
No one here but us and the sound
Of the stars and the night owls
Your breath and the rolling clouds
Enchanted, I am, by you
Now love has come to me
And set apart thee
From all of the maddening crowds
The orchard is leaning her bows
To hear our laughter
And we roll in the arder
Enchanted, i am, by you

I saw, I saw the stars tonight
Mama, I saw the stars tonight

Mama, I saw the stars tonight
Orion, the plow, the burning bright
Cannot recall where I drove
An empty lane, the lonely road
Home

I saw, I saw my star tonight
Mama, the stars are burning bright
And it came clear, that the light years
Are here and lost

I laughed, I cried
The death, the life
And all unseen
Came into sight
The pull, the scales
The dark, the light
Mama, Papa, voila! The night!

The night...

So now, to the one with the neverending
And the physical stars
Look up. Look up! The stars!
