Dark Light

All songs written by Aldous Harding

Hey man
I really need you back again
The years are plenty
Somewhere
I have a watercolor you did
I saw you walking on the sand
In Thailand
I used to watch you from the van
It was your band
Don’t let us bully you, baby
Got problems of the heart
And you’re the perfect blend

Can’t seem to let you off the chain
That is our name
A few of your letters came from Limoges
She’s gonna struggle day to day
But she deserves a place
You and walking in the sand
And you’re the perfect man
You’re the perfect man
You’re the perfect blend

I’m going to answer, protected
It can be so hard to forgive
It’s not what I sought, and it’s not what I pictured
When I was imagining my man
You are so nervous all of the time, living the classics
I know that imagining my man
Imagining, imagining my man

All my life (hey!)
I’ve had to fight to stay
You were right, love takes time
Hey, hey

You have this dream
Apparently, I’m not done
I leave and it’s dreadful
If you get down
Be honest, respectful

All my life (hey!)
I never tried to stay
You were right, love takes time
Hey, hey

I hope one day we’ll get that way
Lucky to be given the chance
I do not have the answer
But I don’t have the wish to go back

All my life (hey!)
I’ve had to fight to stay
You were right (yes!)
Loves takes time
Hey hey

All my life (hey!)
I’ve had to fight to stay
You were right, love takes time
Hey, hey

Living the classics
Pushing the limit
I’m gonna ready it
As they told it
Gonna make my own
Put it on a disc
Living the classics

I’d like to try it
And know that I’ve done well
Grab hold of my future
Win the money back
Take mom to Paris
And jump on the big beds
We’ll be alright
Put it on a disc

Can’t fight the feeling
Gonna make it
I won’t stop turning
‘Til I’m twisted
Come find me
Drag me back to hell
Living the classics

He took me to a clearing
The grass was warm
And the air was soft

He had me sit like a baby
I looked just twelve
With his thumb in my mouth

I was as happy as I will ever be
Believe in me
I will never break from you
If there is a party, will you wait for me?

I felt slow on the journey you planned
I was ashamed
When you yelled my name
Stones smell good with you cuddle them
All in a stack

I was as happy as I will ever be
Believe in me
I will never break from you
If there is a party, will you wait for me?

I wander off the journey I’ve planned
The doom I felt
And the death I smelled
I see now that he understands
He cannot be helped

I was as happy as I will ever be
Believe in me
I will never break from you
If there is a party, will you wait for me?

Freedom, balance
So many friends wish that for me
Stolen, only a little dime of a thing
That I can’t put down

My body’s grateful
I never knew how to write

I know everyone’s looking on
Why in the world would I risk this now?
But I find little excuses
They bring me their milk
And it just goes down
(Just goes down)

My body, grateful
Never really knew how to write
My body, grateful
I never knew how to write

Laughing in my silk worn
I’ve got a want and I won’t let go
Then you’ll get me when I am young
I’m gonna bust out of here

Let me put the water in the bowl
For your wounds, babe
Let me fill you up with the fingers of love
You can’t lose, babe
When you watch me play, does it feel bad, darlin’
When they choose me?
Say again, this place
Say again, this place

I broke my neck
Dancing to the edge of the world, babe
My mouth is wet, don’t you forget it
Don’t you lose me
Here is your princess
And here is your horizon
Here is your princess
And here is your horizon

I’ve gotta scratch it down
I never could amount
That’s it, babe
And now the sugar’s run out
And I don’t know what to say
Say again, this place
Say again, this place
Here is your princess
And here is your horizon
Here is your princess
And here is your horizon

And every now and then
I think about when you’ll die, babe
There’s a fall in my head
It floods what you said
Into the room, babe
I don’t belong in the desert
Yes, I can see it
Take me home, babe
Say again, this place
Say again, this place
Here is your princess
And here is your horizon
Here is your princess
And here is your horizon

Here is your princess
And here is your horizon
Here is your princess
And here is your horizon

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming
I got high, I thought I saw an angel
But he was just a ghost
He was making wooden posts out of my family

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming
What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

What if my moon gets caught up in my waning
Trapped under a sky left blacker than the eyes of my visitors

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming
What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

I got high, I thought I saw an angel
But it was just a ghost heaving under his cloak

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming
What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

The address is of the theatre
Albeit for me
They make me want to rest
And I’ve barely wokrn
And yes, it is true
For a lady, I’m new
But I cannot dance for your eye
When every time I try
The world is looking for you

There is no end to the madness I feel
There is no end to the madness I feel
Yes, you found me
Yes, you love me, but will you stay?
Yes, you found me
Yes, you love me, but will you stay?

The address is of the theatre
Albeit for me
They make me want to rest
And I’ve barely woken
And yes, it is true
For a lady, I’m new
But I cannot dance for your eye
When every time I try
This world is looking for you

There is no end to the madness I feel
There is no end to the madness I feel
Yes, you found me
Yes, you love me, but will you stay?
Yes, you found me
Yes, you love me, but will you stay?

There is no end to the madness I feel

Swell does the skull
I don’t want to be a sinner, no
Don’t want to be sinner, no
But bourbon, always bourbon

Swell does the skull
Don’t want to be a sinner, no
Don’t want to be a sinner, no
But velvet, always velvet

Here he comes through the rain
With his coat and his walking cane
And he says softly to me,
“The war is over, we belong in the country”

Oooh

Ring have the bell
There’s honey on the bread now
There’s honey on the bread now
And music, always music

He comes home, out of the rain
I take his coat, and his walking cane
He can feel that I hold him tight
The day’s over
We belong by the fireside

Swell does my skull
I’ll never be without him, no
I’ll never be without him, no
I’ll never be without him, no
