We’re old enough for leaving home
The old Joanna and the old trombone
It’s all going on
I’m growing my sideboards long
You and me can be who we want to be
Listen now, right here
It’s going to be a beautiful year

Calling it a teenage scene and I have a dream
Don’t know if I’ll be a star, but I’m going to play guitar
I’ve seen this rocking cat, I wanna be just like that
Listen now, right here
It’s going to be a beautiful year

Look at you baby
Tell your daddy you’re no child
Look at you baby
We can get wild

We’ll be on our own
Billy Fury on a gramophone
Take you to the pictures and a dance in my drainpipe pants
Check the mirror and the old DA and you can play in a day
Listen now, right here
It’s going to be a beautiful year

Look at you baby
Tell your daddy you’re no child
Look at you baby
We can get wild

Be Forewarned, Dear

Remember to call my name, I adore it
If you speak my name, I implore it
If with all these things we invoke here, call you out our name—but be forewarned, dear

I don’t mind the pain

We hear you call our name, we adore it
Hear you all these things that we invoke here
If you call our name, rest assured, dear
See you all these things, but be forewarned, dear

I don’t mind the pain

I stay so arcane in the shadows of your brain
Will I come to you again?
Remember that I don’t mind the pain

Hear you call our name, can you afford it?
Wracked with all these things and beyond hope, dear
Remember to call our name and we assure you
Trip with all these things that we invoke here

I don’t mind the pain

And I stay so arcane in the shadows of your brain
Will I come to you again?
Remember that I don’t mind the pain

Even So, It’s Not Enough

Hand. Cannot. Erase. icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 03 from the eponymous LP by Steven Wilson icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Together we have this love
Even so, it’s not enough
Bruised and burned, we won’t lose heart just because life gets hard

Writing lying emails to our friends back home
Feeling guilty if we sometimes want to be alone

Hand cannot erase this love

A love like this makes us strong
We laugh it off if things go wrong
It’s not you, forgive me if I find I need more space
Because trust means we don’t have to be together everyday

Hand cannot erase this love
