Dark Light

All songs written by Aldous Harding

Honey, your face is folding up
As the memory kisses you goodbye
It’s better to live with melody
and have an honest time
Isn’t that right?

There’s a definite vibe
You can’t be pure and in love
In the corner in blue
Is my name (in the corner)

Fixture picture
I’ve got it, I’m on it
You’re in it, I’m honored
Fixture picture
I’ve got it, I’m on it
You’re in it, I’m honored

I’m on, I’ve never burned brighter
How’s the wine where you live?
Bet it’s expensive
One day we’ll share a glass
Together and ride the dunes
I’m writing too

There’s a definite vibe
You can’t be pure and in love
In the corner in blue
Is my name (in the corner)

Fixture picture
I’ve got it, I’m on it
You’re in it, I’m honored
Fixture picture
I’ve got it, I’m on it
You’re in it, I’m honored

Whatever was your angle
With that visionary shimmer?
A strange thing to roll out a spell
À la mode

Tears water the flowers of need
And you bend my day at the knee
Sit down, we’ll frame the far side
Shapes live forever
Designer

I give up on your beauty
Shady as the day you were born
I’m leaving you alone with it
We’re going sailing
Designer

That visionary shimmer
Do not lose your young eyes
Laughing at good work with your ugly son
Give up your beauty

Oh, holy bosses leave me here
I’m diving off that memory
Stop pinning up your lives like wives
Give me your finger
À la mode
Designer

We were a la mode

Why, what am I doing in Dubai?
In the prime of my life
Do you love me?
Cried all the way through
Zoo eyes, zoo eyes, zoo eyes

Zoo eyes
Ask for me and you shall receive
Opulent fair
All rain is beads
That drain to where the mother shell meets the sea

I drove my inner child to a show
It talked all the way home
And the nectar
Zoo eyes, zoo eyes, zoo eyes

Zoo eyes
Ask for me and you shall receive
Opulent fair, all sound is bees
That drift to where the covered tree has no leaves

Nice
Nice to have remembered
Well, a pin
A colorful bride
That are magnificent
Do you love me?
Again
Again in the morning
In the light, a playing fight
And the nectar
Dubai, Dubai
Zoo eyes, zoo eyes, zoo eyes

Zoo eyes
Ask for me and you shall receive
Opulent fair, all fear is green
It sits above the classroom of your dreams
Zoo eyes
Ask for me and you shall receive
Opulent fair, all love is fleece
It leaves a cold lamb laughing in the breeze

It’s the greatest show on earth you shall receive
It’s the greatest show on earth you shall receive
It’s the greatest show on earth you shall receive
It’s the greatest show on earth you shall receive
It’s the greatest show on earth you shall receive
It’s the greatest show on earth you shall receive
What am I doing in Dubai?

I made it again to the Amazon
I’ve got to erase, the same as the others
And I see it far cleaner than that

Expecting two, but ready for three
I just stood up and I mean it
I have better than that

A rock in my hand
A living mirror
The braided cover of love
I’ve got my eye on you now
Treasure

What will you do if the game keeps changing?
Will you die on the vine, choosing it over?
And when you bleed out, you’ll know better than that
And that you couldn’t take it

A rock in my hand
A living mirror
The braided cover of love
I’ve got my eye on you now
Treasure

A hand in time, that’s no miracle
The arrive of none, fan in the gallows
Now that is something
And when we need it, we’ll know better than that
And that we couldn’t beat it

I feel your love
I feel time is up
When I was child, I never knew enough
What’d that do to me?
The wave of love is a transient hurt
Water’s the shell and we are the knot
But I saw a hand arch out of the barrel

Look at all the peaches
How do you celebrate?
Can’t appear inside of nowhere

It’s already dead
I know you have the dove
I’m not gettin’ wet
Looks like a date is set
Show the ferret to the egg
I’m not gettin’ led along

Rushed in to hold down your page
And now I sleep ‘side words you do not read with me
I hear a song from inside the maze
The very one you made
You shook at the ivory mantle
As a poet, I knew to be gentle
When you have a child, so begins the braiding
And in that braid you stay

Look at all the peaches
I want to celebrate
I can appear inside of nowhere
Look at all the peaches

It’s already dead
I know you have the dove
I’m not gettin’ wet
Looks like a date is set
Show the ferret to the egg
I’m not gettin’ led along

The wave of love is a transient hurt
Water’s the shell and we are the knot
But I saw a match struck outside the barrel

(The barrel)
It’s already dead
I know you have the dove
I’m not getting wet
(The barrel)
(The barrel)
Looks like a date is set
Show the ferret to the egg
I’m not getting led along
(The barrel)
(The barrel)
It’s already dead
I know you have the dove
I’m not getting wet
(The barrel)
(The barrel)
Looks like a date is set
Show the ferret to the egg
I’m not getting led along
(The barrel)

Can you make a space on the seat?
A box-like shape for a silly woman?
Damn, a chamois
I thought I’d made a tambourine

When I am led, I resent
Only when I’m left do I know what I said
The old, it bickers with the fresh
When I’m standing with my brush in the emptiness

Sorry I was late and you didn’t get your weekend
Sorry I was late and you didn’t get your weekend

My mother said, “Why must you drag all the hopes out of bed?”
I blame the seasons
We all have our reasons, I meant

I did at one time attempt
In landing sleeves and a silly ribbon
There must be a reason, he said
I know the reason, he meant

Damn it, Hanny
When you jump up and down
The chains almost sound like a tambourine

Glad I pulled the reigns on this thing when I did
I see no reason to go ahead with it
In your eyes, I see the weight of the planets
And it’s sucking me out

Your stone looks hot as it starts to roll
We shared a meal and then you had to go
I’ve been over that night in my head
And you were psyching me out

I can do anything
No one is stopping me
I can be anything
But I’ve got the weight of the planets
I’ve got the weight of the planets, I’m lost

I’m so tempted, I just might try and look for you
If I know that you’ve arrived
In your eyes, I see the weight of the planets
You’re lost and it’s sucking you out

(Weight of the planets, you’re lost)
Sucking you out
(Weight of the planets, weight)
It’s sucking you out
(Weight of the planets, you’re lost)
It’s sucking you out
(Weight of the planets, you’re lost, weight)
(Weight of the planets)
It’s sucking you out
(Weight of the planets, you’re lost)

Heaven is empty
Nobody’s there
I brought my camera
It stayed in its bag
People ask me all the time what I want
The answer is one
Heavy is empty

Unconditional love
A crane at the top of the lake
I’ll hang like Jesus
On my pulling bed
Heaven is empty

If a big cold bird tried to bring me a baby
I feel I would get on his back
Kissing his neck
Breathe in and out
Kissing the doubt
And whisper softly
I don’t want entry
That place is empty

I don’t know how to behave
Reacting, fists dangling
About the same time every day
Sometimes an outfit blows in from the street
I can bring in the bolts and sleep
But the old flag knits and rises
Shells and shards dust the yard

I wish it was white, I wish it was white
But it needs blood for the new erection
I try to be light, stop the low talk
But I am coward, and Camus was right
You slide like a bangle down the day’s arm
Waiting the hand to be given away
But I don’t deserve it, I won’t wear it
I know it’s a gift, but Christmas is gone

I’m ashamed of the quiet, but I want to be silent
Always practicing, still no grace
I get so anxious, I need a tattoo
Something binding, that hides me
But when the time comes to design it
It opens up like height under a pilot
Like height under a pilot
It opens up like height under a pilot
