Rickety Ship 03:04
My rickety ship Set to sail far from home High water or hell We might not make it But I know we should try 'Cause I'd take you as well I braved these waters in the past In old oak timber not built to last The shore will soon be fading fast My invitation stands My rickety ship Weathering through the storm Dancing on the waves We'll go below deck Where we'll be safe and warm And drink to fill the days You read the stars like it was an art In cloudy skies we'll navigate by heart The winds will try to blow us apart But we will find our way We've come too far to fail My rickety ship Broke apart on new ground Scattered to the wind But we didn't quit We made it here arm in arm And we were welcomed in.

O Victoria 02:34
The prey always falls in the snare You just have to wait Neither here nor there a billionaire Cannot escape his fate O Victory O Victoria The catch-alls won't return their calls And run fast as they can Be they keepers of art or their counterparts It's the deeds that make the man Singing O Victory O Victoria Boots are quaking The boys are waiting The shoe's about to drop Singing oh victory O Victoria.

Daniel's War 03:46
To pick up our lives off the altar And ignore the wages of sin To cast off the speeches and Homilies cut razor thin When everyone talks at right angles From litanies carved into stone Time to think differently Time to take back what's our own The tinderbox is sparking The feet they are a-marching now We'll put the past behind us And find a way ahead somehow We'll damage the pride of old lions Of champions cast into doubt Closing these doors makes it harder to Find a way out You ask us to turn to the future And see to the truth of it all We've been found wanting The writing is there on the wall The tinderbox is sparking The feet they are a-marching now We'll put the past behind us And find a way to cope somehow No more of Daniel's war.

This Island 03:02
Landed many years ago Sandy beaches white as snow Stars are hanging in the night Pointing out the way to home You said you would never leave That you were happy here with me The world could carry on without us And we'd forget it equally When we came to this island Was it meant to be for always? Do we really need to be saved? Does redemption lie beyond those waves? A wall has formed around your heart We'll worry to an early grave Your beauty it makes me weep Buried many fathoms deep Walking through the dusty pines Making plans I want to keep When we came to this island Could it be for always? If we left would it matter? No.
