lyrics

Moon it rises to break across the river and a moon-faced boy
Would you write a speaking part for me?
A part that puts me somewhere between the
Elevated road and the water?

It don't get better
The hunger
Even back in his arms
No, the water will get higher
As fast as you run

Charity think no evil
Charity never faileth
Let me feed you with a song
I'm out on the street with an open case and a mandolin
And with every coin, I am born again
Faith will return to you, my friend
Some days I feel like the end of mankind
And some days, the beginning
Watching kids turn into lovers, believers

And it don't get better
The hunger
Even back in his arms
No, the water will get higher
As fast as you run

Sun it rises to shine upon the wreckage
Of our broken, bloody union
Does it fill your gaps like it fills in mine?
The sunlight creeping cross the line
To rest upon the site of our ruin?

And if your mother doesn't answer
Then give me a call
Here's my number:
854-4784

Phew, this seems to be the last album, up to now, and it took me 9 years to notice it! What the hell went wrong there? After listening only halfway through it, I'm wondering if this might also be her best one... She's always been quite idiosyncratic, but comparisons with Kate Bush, Tori Amos aren't too far fetched, I think. Stylistically broader than previous albums, I guess, and probably more song--centered ..? Carsten Pieper
