1.	Scott Thomas, The Horsefink Elf Of Bigwood Forest 01:57	lyrics	buy track
The horsefink elf of Bigwood forest Horsemaster of shetland ponies He lives with his soul faery in a little cottage The son of the wood i call Scott Thomas! His favourite pony is the one he calls dobbin Who likes to nibble on horseradish and onion A friend to a Cybele who lives by the sea Who tells him the future and the vision she sees His garden is filled with pansies and lillies There’s honeysuckle blossom & stickyback willies He's a green fingered pagan, his grandmother’s son Her wisdom is known to everyone He's the common man who follows natures law With sweat on his brow and a penny in his paw He's the simple soul who's living is honest To me he'll always be that gallus Scott Thomas!

3.	Blues For Rosemary Lane 03:42	lyrics	buy track
How do you do When you don’t have a haystack? How do you please When you don’t have a lover? How does the train run When you don’t have St Benedict? To keep good time Got to get round to the word. How did Son house sing? With a mouth full of jewels How does the river flow? Sometimes it’s just a backbeat A backbeat and a melody Say hello to San Berdino The blues is electricity The saints go marching in How does the wheel spin When you don’t have a heartstring? See that smile in a her eyes That’s the gift of the blues Got to have a rhythm train Beat that drum to rosemary lane All is simple, all is pure When you live inside experience The saints come marching in Compassion opens a wounded heart It’s good to have a good friend Or else you’re cold as the devil Words Chris Skinner
4.	Secret Smile (Extended Version) 06:26	lyrics	buy track
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile And you use it only for me Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile And you use it only for me So use it and prove it Remove this world and it’s sadness I'm losing I'm bluesing But you can save me from madness Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile And you use it only for me Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile And you use it only for me So save me I'm waiting I'm needing, hear me pleading And soothe me, improve me I'm grieving, I'm barely believing it now, now When you are flying around and around the world And I'm lying here lonely I know there's something sacred and free reserved And received by me only Words Semisonic
5.	Wotan Returns With Smoke 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Through crows eyes Wotan In a cave underground In Laboratory with smoke Long white hair Passed shoulders Amiable countenance In laboratory with smoke Wotan appears Written in a font On light brown Cream paper Crows eye grows bigger Looking eye to eye With blackbird Brings nature to me Munin drops a worm Into my mouth I take the worm at first Unconsciously, playing along Then i awake.... Munin , don’t do that! My body awakes I spit , happier now Better to be responsive than passive! Crows eye grows bigger Looking eye to eye With blackbird Brings nature to me! Munin drops a worm Into my mouth I take the worm at first Unconsciously,Playing along Then i awake In laboratory With smoke! Lyrics Chris Skinner

7.	Deathletter Bluesman (For That Diamond Eyed, Snake Hissing Son House) 08:02	lyrics	buy track
The Deathletter Bluesman ( Blues for Son House) One night, a long time ago Lightning flashed down from the sky With a craving for the blues And loves temples in ruin A guitar man walked down the road He had a passion To lighten his load A preacher, some say A devil with dues to pay His eyes hard as diamond His words, like the clay Ancient and wise A legend of his time His hiss was of the snake From within that ancient lake It was the death letter bluesman His guitar bleeding In his hands seething Burning like the sun Crying out to everyone It was the death letter bluesman A cross upon his soul Sinking like coal The darkness all around In his soul, profound wisdom Ancient and wise A legend of his time His hiss was of the snake From within that ancient lake He shook the rocks He shook the fish Shook the trees And shook the nish Down from his head Into his heart It was the death letter bluesman...

Girl with the peregrine falcon I heed my lover’s call And visit upon her garden wall A Piper at the gates of dawn Here for loves mission song Wings beating at the speed of love Circling with supremacy high above The eternal moment holds no tomorrow We’re alive to sing our joys and our sorrows! We are of loves flock, Two birds attuned To the seasons cycles And mystic moon Our soft lips touch in attendance And life our emblem with transcendence Green eyes and fiery red hair The girl beside the peregrine falcon Camelot’s servant, the hawk of May Fought for his chosen king that day Swift justice triumphed over force The falcon held victory’s steady course! Green eyes and fiery red hair The girl with the peregrine falcon Lyrics Chris Skinner

Rose Hilda In the twilight of the winter The child within me is within her Cold breath hangs in the air We paint together, moments we share The war paint dries into blood Caked like makeup on his brow The cavalry cowboy flower bud The Indian warrior whooping wow A pacts been made for general custard To seal the deal a silver bell Attacked and lost in the flustered He paid the ferryman, & sailed to hell Hermes meets him eyes blazing red Dust and ash, this temple of the dead The wraiths they hold a magic power Swirling and changing around his head Death stands under the half moon yellow Bony fingers like snake coiled cello Hermes and the taro card death The dark jinn, potters dangerous quest Beneath the shadow of the mountain Tiamat and her treasure fountain Endilfi has the magic lantern Seven deathly hallows, seven deathly phantoms

Ishtar Serenades Lilith Tonight Ishtar awaits your return My heart surrenders to your forest emblem Where irminsul forever blossoms Swift justice triumphs over force I will sing a lovers nocturne In her secret garden And know my lovers call And walk her simple halls Perched upon your balcony The falcon sings to you His heart belongs to the stars To the wind and the truth His blue Neptune guitar Calls out into the stars For love to see us For Christ is god above I will sing a lovers nocturne In her secret garden To know my lovers call And walk her simple halls A fleeting glimpse of eternity Is all young lovers may ever see A silver palomino drinks From crystal waters To live in harmonious madness That blessing is the grain of sadness For if tears never flowed Then life would be meaningless I will sing a lovers nocturne In her secret garden
16.	Dragon Bay 05:40	lyrics	buy track
Dragon Bay A dreamer dreams Elephant hears A circle is formed For a ceremony Magic and light Tears of God Ears wide open Musical Ode Behind every character Love smiles wide A player in the Alchemy Of the tribe of Dragon Bay Down In Dragon Bay The Family Circle The wooden hut Fire burning Eyes of quantum To live in dragon bay Is to live with the mist of tears To dance with dragon heart Is to dream old friends near Life is a celebration A musical piano That sings from a music box That comes from the sea Evelyn dressed in black Moves like death A heart without a mind A body without a soul Death walkers.... The streets are alive with red sunsets But There is danger for a heart That no longer sings of love Down In Dragon Bay Watch the children play Down in Dragon Bay Watch the children play Lyrics : Chris Skinner

Year 2000 girl Your hearts on fire Waiting for your man Just to be The butterfly will lead us To each other Silver legends of love It’s our song, soul power! “Wait till I tell you a secret An alien love secret” An alien love secret Of a silver bad horsie Who shouts a rose The child precocious The red haired one She’s Irish like a setter A real star girl Where do we go from here You like the leash Nietzsche gave us Zarathustra Men at work gave us peace Breathe in now, I’m watching you Sting you if you’re a wasp Love’s about obsession Spanish castle magic’s the axis Hendrix was a hound dog Gallagher was a whippet Jack was a pup Be careful of that stuff A woman can be hooked on earl grey tea Live in the velvet flame Emotional uncertainty When janey’s got a gun Black leather Christmas tree Seductive roleplay fun The Irish rose she takes no lip Knows who she is Shoots directly from the hip See right through you’re vanity Gets to the heart A spark that set’s itself free Jerusalem’s garden Speaker fuel gasoline Running down her thigh The modern times It’s the passion for the holy story Ignites inside their hearts St Mungo and his monks say “Speak now or haud your peace forever"
19.	Artemis 03:12	lyrics	buy track
The silver vine of heaven and hell Every angel has a story to sell Fallen from grace Into the fire that burns Cast out of Eden’s gates Into the night With pain she waits Broken down world Hundred dollar plates So easy to miss your chance When the devils on the loose Guided by love A wheel that turns I studied the lines on her face They said redemption will come I knew then, that she was Looking for someone Someone wild and free She had a silver cross And spoke from the heart When she spoke Her words were so direct And came from the moon Mysterious and dark A rebel on the run So i’ll wait in the fire Burning with desire For just one more kiss From the girl with the soulful lips The only true magic in the world The only true medicine in this world Is soul fire.... Her words came from the moon And i looked up and seen her in the sky Standing in a forest A huntress, calling me To a ceremony
20.	Cyanide 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Cyanide Bad apples in my head Son you’re a real gone kid So I’m the judge and jury Black obsidian makes his bid It’s hard when the knife is you Creeps up, out of the dark Follows him around like a shadow Soul bullets find their mark The pieces are on the table Every sin burns away a fable Leaves you with a silver arrow But it’s hard to live with your shadow It’s easy to live without a friend Who howls and screams and offends Shoots holes into your precious pride Who exposes all your cyanide Who exposes all your cyanide... Who exposes all your cyanide... The street performers know the score Loves a thing that sings and whores A dance like a thundercloud That fights and howls , that drowns and shouts! I could have sworn you seen my soul Coming up from the deep unknown There’s comfort in the black box love Just got to solve every mystery first It’s easy to live without a friend Who screams and howls and offends Who shoots holes into your precious pride Exposes all your cyanide Who exposes all your cyanide... Who exposes all your cyanide.... Words and Music Chris Skinner.

24.	Parsifals Daemons 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Parsifals Daemons On these sickly streets There’s an enemy within, He sits with his angels Upon his shadowy sins On the road that Leads to damnation If you’re crazy and you know it, Clap your hands Put down the whipping stick, listen to the band! It never was a good thing In this promised land, To draw your best pose son And carve it out in the sand All is said that needs to be said The room is filled with solid air, A party for a dead end scene Witches with bald heads They march through town Wearing judgments crown, Hunting a killer king Behind their sold blue eyes Here comes Judas His compass gone to hell, Threw all his graces Down that wishing well He’s been cast out of Eden For a crime that wasn’t his, Some kind of devils brew Has skewered away all his wits! In the ballroom uptown She’s laughing like a loon, Attracting bad attention Aiming her harpoon Even my long lost twin Is swigging back contempt, Under future false pretenses Ready to watch the hatred spit The Irish rovers are pickin' out tunes Claiming loves been lost out in the dunes, Holding onto something that came through the air But it was twisted like a blade and handled without care The smell of death is everywhere Mixed in with whiskey and winkle stares, Some kind of hoodoo has come down the line The tapestries are hanging off the vine Delilah she’s just left town The bottom of the barrels been found, The big man’s wrestling with a ghost He thinks he’s found a victim that will make a losing toast.....(to be continued)

I belong to wonder lad To sea and land and camosile The god below of ancient sign A friend to all who sing divine Meridian marks and clink and chime Wonder why I face north and south A butterfly, a bee, a squirrel Janus is a magic mirror Where does Janus come into play? On sumoner tale, horse latitudes I see both ways to tell a tale About deep blue sea and sperm whale My reach extends over the crow To fink and chime and hell below Benevolent friend to tennis champion A god of wrath for dagger scorn How can Janus help in times of need The wisdom sown, my bread that feeds A crow, a corn doll, a smallville tale About the evil within the tiger tail Open our eye to see the jewel The sparkling intuition still The opera house with binoculars To see a show of drumming Lars Metal witch or hoodoo prince Janus is the God that fills The wheat is cropped from summer field To feed the mouse, the babe, the yield LYRICS C.SKINNER
