lyrics
1. HELL I loved my big throne To sit on all alone I was lord of hell Then you flew on in A fairy on the wind LIt up all my hallways This angel in my home This angel at my door Made me lose my loneliness My lovers left me Godless and ghostly Heaven descended But I'm glad you're leaving darling These demons couldn't handle you here We're glad you're leaving darling My demons die but don't disappear They're glad you're leaving darling Cause no one wants to see my disease We're glad you're leaving darling Cause heaven makes me die on my knees And angels made me bleed Your tears were so bright A child of pure light Scattered all my people Part of a big scene Delivered my dreams Full of future promises There on the bed sheets How well you did bleed Shocked me out of plain sight Under my black wing Softened a mad king And left me there to suffer I'm glad you're leaving darling These demons couldn't handle you here We're glad you're leaving darling My demons die but don't disappear They're glad you're leaving darling Cause no one wants to see my disease We're glad you're leaving darling Cause heaven makes me die on my knees And angels made me bleed 2. THE WEAKER SEX I won't fight for you I'm not that type I don't stand a chance Against the meaner ones in life Tell my lies Pretend I'm careless Fearless darkness My coward light Scared to death of everyone I wish I had your strength I wish I had your strength Tell my sight To see a better day at night While you decide directions With your secret heart fight I'm not alright Despite contrary affirmations When you sigh Another's name It just might break me I wish I had your strength I wish I had your strength I wish I had your strength I wish I had your strength I wish I had your strength I wish I had your strength Baby put your pistols away Hold my shadow pieces of me Anger and despair are just a phase And they fade And they fade And they fade 3. EAVES AND BOUGHS Hey come and stay Lie here with me The misty mountains Not your lover today Hopelessly Stare into me In this doorway We are never afraid I won't be the one who ran away We will never speak of it again Hold me like you mean the things you say Ferocious beautiful and ever strange Gone tragedy Love is our key Never see Another tear again Never again I won't be the one who ran away We will never speak of it again Hold me like you mean the things you say Ferocious beautiful and ever strange 4. SMOKE Dawn gave me grieving A blizzard ablaze Bombshells a'burning Too little too late For yonder my lover Already round the bend So I begged her Would you remain my friend For our smoke seems to linger On houses and trains Diamonds are duller When the fire blows away And no two shone dearer Than we two engaged So I beg you Remain my friend And if you never loved me Would you be my friend And if you'll never love me Would you be friend And if you'd never love me Would you be my friend And you never love me Would you be me friend

lyrics
5. EVERY RAINBOW Clap your hands as the story is ending Come on out come on out tell me what I missed Will the fires in the night show me where to go And the streetlights as I walk overload There's a mountain in my distance I'm never gonna scale it I'm too chicken Tell me now was my heart too wholesome Did I give it too much to the wrong one Is every rainbow Grey now grey now Hey now hey now hey now hey now And every rainbow Is grey now grey now Hey now hey now hey now hey now All my love died out in tomorrow Tomorrow tomorrow Hear the voice on the end of the line click Quiet now quiet now got to hear this We deny for the future there's another way Got you back over now but you won't stay In the vines and roses waiting Cage of clay sits slowly ageing Almost killed myself to be the one worthy Now I'm the mountain and you're the journey Not every rainbow Is grey now grey now Hey now hey now hey now hey now Not every rainbow Is grey now grey now Hey now hey now hey now hey now All my love died out in tomorrow Feels tomorrow Feels tomorrow Fields of tomorrow Fields of tomorrow Not every rainbow Is grey now grey now Hey now hey now hey now hey now And every rainbow Is grey now grey now Hey now hey now hey now hey now Your love don't have to die out in tomorrow 6. MISS MY MISS You said you loved me Then stuck the knife in Maybe I deserved that I said I loved you Then went on right through Behind your back You said you missed me Then spent our anniversary With another man I would have loved you But my brain was missing a screw Never got that helping hand Will you think of me When everybody Says it's for the best Well I miss my Miss Will you think of me Will everybody Smile and follow fate Say I can't manipulate you Anymore You cry for recall Say nobody should know But everyone hears my sin I'm confrontational Emotional unreasonable A big mouth to stick my foot in So it's pretty fucking easy To make me feel uneasy To blame and shame me quietly Will all your friends and family Think of me When everybody Says it's for the best Well I miss my Miss Will you think of me When everybody Smile and follows fate Says he can't manipulate you Anymore No one is to blame my dear No one is to blame my dear No one is to blame my dear Why the fuck is simple pain So hard for people to explain Will you think of me When everybody Says it's for the best Well I miss my Miss Will you think of me When everybody Smile and follows fate Says he can't manipulate you Anymore 7. SHELTER There's a crimson cloud in the sky And it 's waiting for somewhere else to cry Does it surprise we're one with the sky Does it shock you it's one with our lives Did your dreams Bring you shelter Did your dreams Give you shelter Will you sigh Will you cry As I place my heart and hands Inside Will you sigh As we die Say we're crazy Tonight Into your fire Into this pyre I will place my soul Entire You won't cry You won't sigh Just say I'm crazy Say goodbye Did your dreams Bring you shelter Did your dreams Give you shelter There's a rainstorm a cliche brace For we who stand here to wash and stain the face Could we confide in water's falling grace Could we decide in fire there's no trace Did your dreams Bring you shelter Did your dreams Give you shelter Will you sigh Will you cry As I place my heart and hands Inside Will you sigh As we die Say we're crazy Tonight Into your fire Into this pyre I will place my soul Entire You won't cry You won't sigh Just say I'm crazy Say goodbye Will you sigh Will you cry As I place my heart and hands Inside Will you smile As we cry Say I'm crazy Say goodbye

about

'Fading Shadows'' marks part six on the 'C Side' re-release journey.

Returning to previous themes of metaphoric iconography, catharsis through struggle and skewed romance, this collection rambles through a variety of sonic styles. Big drums, soft piano, epic guitar solos, acoustic sweetness and old time harmonies appear in a diverse miscellany of sound. Each track has been remastered while peaks, hiss and live errors are retained for an authentic garage experience.

As with previous 'C Side' titles, the story is woven across seven songs, presented on a single continuous track. Much of the material draws on periods of extreme emotional turmoil, a beneficial energy for the subject matter. While 'Fading Shadows' touches on both universal and internal questions, each song stands alone as an autobiographical portrait told through poetic device and external inspiration.

This compilation features new and old songs, as well as antique and modern instrumentation. An odyssey of rough, sweet, dour and upbeat, 'C Side Volume 6' is a unique window into the heart of a crazy artist.
