I said I'd post these when I got around to typing them in so here they are
Unfortunately (isn't there always some bad news) they are not complete.
Below you'll find all of the lyrics that I have so far managed to figure out.
The underscores indicate bits I haven't got yet, and {} are bits I'm not sure
about. Besides that, I'm bound to have made a few mistakes, and in particular
the second half of one of the songs is missing because I got sick of trying to
work it out and forgot to have another go. The reason I'm posting these
unfinished is to try to convince somebody else to finish the task. Please send
any suggestions as to the missing bits or corrections or comments in general
to me. I do hope to complete these and produce the Postscript source, but I'm
a bit busy at the moment. I also offered to post a full review - sorry that'll
have to wait also :-(
BTW [] indicates backing vocals (well quiet anyway)
And without further ado -

BLOOD
THE LACEMAKER
dreams are like water, colourless and dangerous
MR. SOMEWHERE
day comes up sicker than a cat
something's wrong face that
mr. somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
boat from the river takes you out
'cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
you take the tide, any tide, any tide
like there isn't gonna be any tide
mr. somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
missing somewhere never did figure just how much
a world like tomorrow wears things out
it's hard enough to get what's yours for now
and the hardest words are spoken softly
softly look, no hands upon
mr. somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
missing somewhere never did figure just how much
now the milkman beats you to the door
that was once a home, home no more
mr. somewhere, missing somewhere couldn't get the calendar to stop
missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
missing somewhere, never will admit just how much
ANDIALU
WITH TOMORROW
it was more like a dream than reality
I must have thought it was a dream while you were here with me
when you were near I didn't think you would leave
when you were gone it was too much to believe
so with tomorrow, I will borrow
another moment of joy and sorrow
in another dream, and another
with tomorrow
so with the sun there won't be time just to look behind
there will be reasons not exclusions for my _________ mind
there was so much I was told, it was not real
so many things that I could not taste, but I could feel
so with tomorrow, I will borrow
another moment of joy and sorrow
in another dream, and another
with tomorrow

YOU AND YOUR SISTER
you say my love for you's not real
but you don't know how real it feels
all I want to do is to spend some time with you
so I can hold you, hold you

I'd reassure her if I could

I COME AND STAND AT EVERY DOOR
I come and stand at every door
but no-one hears my silent breath
I knock and yet remain unseen
for I am dead, for I am dead
I'm only seven although I've died
in Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
when children die they do not grow
my hair was ________, my ________________
my eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
death came and turned my bones to dust
and that was scattered by the wind [the wind, the wind]
I need no food, i need no rice
I need no sleep, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
for I am dead, for I am dead
all that I ask is that for peace
you fight today, you fight to die
so that the children of this world
may live and grow, and laugh and play

[how many ways can you say goodbye]
[that was nothing]
[______________ something]
how many days were in dreaming
in many ways just a lie
in better days I'd be dreaming
as my life passed me by
now pardon me for trying
trying to tear apart
and pardon me for lying
it's just easy, so easy, to start

LACEMAKER II
LATE NIGHT
when I woke up today
and you weren't there to play
then I wanted to be with you
when you showed me your eyes
whispered love the skies
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me
when I lay still at night
seeing stars high and light
then I wanted to be with you
when the rooftops shone dark
all alone saw a spark
spark of love just to stay with you
inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me
if I mention your name
turn around on a chain
then the sky opens up for you
when we grew very tall
when I saw you so small
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me
inside me I feel, alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me

I have a dream - it's very clear
all around, but never near
help me lift you up

the air was blue, you could hold it in your hand, blue
remember me, I once told you ____ I tried to
________ to realise that nothing lasts forever
_________ in heart, you'll always be a child
we cried as we kissed - it was too new
we died and we lived - it was too new

dreams are like water, colourless and dangerous
without the strength to love, way beyond fear
you could care less if you could care at all
we cried as we kissed - it was too new
we died and we lived - it was too new
too strong still too much
I AM THE COSMOS
