Billy Boy 03:05
lyrics

Billy Boy Oh Billy Boy, did you see the colour in her eyes there Oh Billy Boy, did you see the wave in her hair So fine, and if you ask her she might walk with you an hour or two Oh Billy Boy, will you take her to the fair Were you watching her, did you see her colour changing Were you listening, did you hear her heart a-pound So fine, ah she’s so fine, ah she’s so fine, ah she’s so fine, ah she’s so fine . . . Oh Billy Boy, do you know just what you’ve found I’m just a rambling boy, straying through time, Through time . . . Oh Billy Boy, did you watch the sun a’rising Walk with her, talk of love and life, So fine, ah we were walking we were talking we were walking we were talking there Oh Billy Boy, will you take her for your wife

Without You 03:34
lyrics

Without You You know how I love you, you know how I try I’ve sailed on the water, I’ve sailed in the sky For you my love The sun in the morning, the lie of your hair We seek reassurance, but there’s nobody there No more my love Aah, I see trouble brewing Aah, shadows on the moon Aah, I don’ think I’ll make it without you On my own . . . They’re closing the window, and locking the door The sad-eyed musician, has gone home alone Again, once more . . .

Hey, Faraday 02:52
lyrics
buy track
Hey, Faraday Hey, Faraday, whatcha gone an' done now Lightning’s coming from a hole in the wall Night show, light show, no having fun now Gotta save my money feed a meter in the hall Hey, Faraday, meddling with nature Clocks stopped ticking and they started to hum Bells and buzzers clamour for attention Better cut the power off I’m going on the run Hey, Faraday, got quite a shock there Little green men on my TV screen Waging war with electronic buttons Not very friendly but it sure is clean Hey, Faraday, where are we going to Punch card numbers is all we’ll be Satellite politics television war games Better off in Highgate Cemetery

Lady Mary 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Lady Mary Lady Mary, see the buzzards fly Lazy circles, they wait for us to die I ask you ‘Why?’ Mary Ah, Mother Mary, you come to watch us go Maybe next time, we’ll get to see the show I just don’t know Aah, Lady Mary, did you notice me Down here waving, and waiting endlessly Ah can’t you see . . .
