Be Thou My Vision
V1
Be thou my vision.
Oh, lord of my heart.
All else but naught to me.
Save that thou art.
Be my best thought in
The day and the night.
Waking and sleeping.
Thy presence, my light.
V2
Be thou my wisdom
Be thou my true word.
Thou ever with me
And I with thee, Lord.
Thou my great Father
And I thy true son.
Thou in me dwelling
And I with thee one.
Chorus
And be my breastplate.
My sword for the fight.
Be my whole armour.
Be my true might.
Be my soul's shelter.
Be my strong tower.
Oh, raise me heavenward.
Great power of my power.
V3
Riches I need not
Nor man's empty praise.
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always.
Thou and thou only
The first in my heart.
Sovereign of heaven
My treasure thou art.
Chorus
And be my breastplate.
My sword for the fight.
Be my whole armour.
Be my true might.
Be my soul's shelter.
Be my strong tower.
Oh raise me heavenward.
Great power of my power.
V4
High King of heaven,
Thou heaven's bright sun.
Grant me it's joy's
After victory is won.
Heart of my own heart.
Whatever befall.
Still be my vision.
Oh, ruler of all.

I CAN'T DO THIS
Chorus
I.
I can't do this.
I.
I cannot do this.
V1
There is nothing left to burn.
And when I scroll the next frame.
I can see it's my turn.
And though it looks like my name...
Chorus
I.
I can't do this.
I.
I can't do this.
V2
And I have seen myself fall.
It's like a pattern with me.
And though my heart beats faster.
Will you really catch me?
Chorus
I.
I can't do this.
I.
I can't do this.
I am serious.
Chorus
I.
I can't do this.
I.
I can't do this.
Get me through this.

I'm Scared of Werewolves
03:12

|
Chorus
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
There's no other way I can play it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
V1
I think it all started
When I found the dead sheep.
There was no head left
He was missing his bleet.
But listen to me
I live on a farm
And though the moon is full
I'm gonna keep strollin' on.
Chorus
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
There's no other way I can play it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
V2
When I'm in the field
And I hear the wolf howl.
I won't run home
I won't throw in the towel.
I'll stand up tall.
I'll wipe back my mullet.
Trusting that the Lord
Is packing silver bullets.
V3
And maybe an antique,
Silver cane.
That he can whack the wolf's head in,
Again and again.
The fact is I live here.
My home is a farm
And while the moon is full
I'm going to keep strolling on.
Key Change
Chorus
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
There's no other way I can play it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.
But I am protected, I'll pray it.
There's no other way I can play it.
I'm scared of werewolves, I'll say it.

If The Thing Has A Vision Then Why Can't I?
V1
The Thing in space.
It can smell the human race.
The Thing's not nice.
Now its buried in the ice.
V2
And as it lies.
It remembers why it came.
Norway's okay.
But the whole earth is the way.
Chorus
So if The Thing has a vision then why can't I?
I do not require the world.
And if The Thing has a vision where we all die.
My idea should be heard.
Yeah.
V3
The Thing.
It's time.
It is inside a canine.
The Thing mutates.
Photocopies what it hates.
V4
And as it feeds.
It refuses to slow down.
It's goal in sight.
We will survive the night.
I
So if The Thing has a vision then why can't I?
I do not require the world.
And if The Thing has a vision where we all die.
My idea must be heard.
Yeah.
V5
Here's the thing.
I can see myself somewhere.
And my small plan
Doesn't kill a dog or man
V6
Or world. Or place.
It does not wipe out a race.
Thought it must be said.
I could use a spider head.
Chorus
So if The Thing has a vision then why can't I?
Lord, I do not require the world.
And if The Thing has a vision where we all die.
My idea should be heard.
Chorus
So if The Thing has a vision then why can it
I do not require the world.
Lord, if The Thing has a vision where we all die.
My idea must be heard.
Yeah.

We Have Decided To Spare The Adults
V1
We have decided to spare the adults.
We have decided to let them go.
Cos if we killed them.
We would be like them.
And so to killing we say no.
V2
The corn behind us. The Quorn before us.
This is a symbol of choosing life.
And though it may sound a little boring.
A life is lonely led by knife.
V3
We have decided to follow Jesus.
Because he thinks that children are great.
He Who Walks Behind the Rows though.
Had a funky name but he loved hate.
V4
Lor will you help me when I am tempted.
To put a grown-ups hand into a blender.
Help us to love folks without exception.
Which I suppose means also Brenda.
V5
We have decided to be like children.
For being children is what we are.
Lord, let our love be an inspiration.
To Creepy Cove and near and far.
V6
So if you're listening on a computer.
Or if you're humming this song by phone.
Please remember that Jesus loves you.
And you will never be alone.
Everybody...
V7
We have decided to spare the adults.
We have decided to let them go.
Cos if we killed them we would be like them.
And so to killing we say no.
And so to killing we say no.

Distraction
V1
Have you seen The Omen?
If you have, I like you.
But what I need is for you to speed
To the scene that might excite you.
V2
Crouching David Warner.
He's not paying attention.
He wears a lovely neckerchief
But I can feel the tension.
Bridge
Then the truck rolls down the hill.
And the sheet of glass is flying.
But why is David dying?
Chorus
Distraction.
Tell me why my worry mode's in action.
Distraction.
Hockey mask knows what to be.
But never me.
V3
Have you seen Annabelle?
Annabelle Creation.
Breaks your heart right at the start
With tire preparation.
V4
The kid thinks she is helping.
The parents barely see.
And all that matters is the car.
She thinks she's helping Daddy.
Bridge
It's a tiny bit of metal.
But here comes the grille.
So why is she roadkill?
Chorus
Distraction.
Tell me why my worry mode's in action.
Distraction.
Hockey mask knows what to be.
Middle 8
I have lost so many nights.
Wasp at my window for many nights.
I have spent too many nights.
Let him so many nights.
Checked his wing the other night.
Saw a tag all clear and bright.
Not my wasp, should be alright.
So why do I feel like I'm losing light?
Chorus
Distraction.
Why is my big freak-out mode in action?
Distraction.
Psychic skills not even at a fraction.
A faction.
Is putting my entire head
In traction.
Distraction.
Hockey mask knows what to be
So, make that me.

Help Me Find the Yeti
V1
So it's me once again and I'm searching through the snow.
Measuring a footprint but where'd the other footprints go?
Impossible to follow them to find the beast I seek.
And screaming blizzard's make me feel so weak.
And yet...
And yet...
Not yet.
V2
When I was a kid I knew that I would one day be.
An eminent professor of cryptozoology.
But I have yet to see the beast and it really gets me down.
The closest thing to Bigfoot is my bigfoot dressing gown.
And yet...
And yet...
Not yet.
Chorus
I do not need SETI.
Or Frank Peretti, no.
Help me find the Yeti in the snow.
Spare me your confetti.
Your yacht and jetty.
Oh, help me find the yeti in the snow.
V3
I have searched all the peaks and I swear I've followed every trail.
Terrified of going home and telling everyone I've failed.
And I've stopped having dreams where I stumbled on his cave someday.
Where me and yeti meet and laugh and bowl and play.
Anyway.
And yet.
And yet.
Not yet.
Chorus
I do not need SETI.
Or Frank Peretti no.
Help me find the Yeti in the snow.
Spare me your confetti.
Your warm spaghetti.
Oh, help me find the yeti in the snow.
Middle
And I'm begging you please
As I fall on my knees.
God you promised you'd come.
I am coming undone.
And I get the impression I never will find it.
I'm crying too much.
I am losing my mind.
Do you even exist? It's a joke that you care.
Must you always insist that I tear out my hair?
Do you laugh when I cry?
Do you notice my pain?
Do you hear my prayers?
I will say them again.
Chorus
I do not need SETI.
Or Frank Peretti, no.
Help me find the Yeti in the snow.
Spare me your confetti.
Your yacht and jetty.
Oh, help me find the yeti in the snow.
Chorus 2
Keep the Serengeti.
Your gold machete
Oh, help me find the Yeti in the snow.
Lord you took my first love Betty.
This is not petty, no.
Help me find the Yeti in the snow.

You've Got To Laugh

You've Got To Laugh
V1
When you're pregnant with the devil's child
You've got to laugh.
And your dad gets bitten, and goes hog wild
You've got to laugh.
And when you send your kids to Summer Camp.
But they can't be found so you grab a lamp.
And you find their backpacks red and damp.
You've got to laugh.
V2
And when the townsfolk all are evil fish.
You've got to laugh.
And when to bury your son is your final wish.
You've got to laugh.
And when you've finally connected with your wife.
And you have the best night of your life.
But you end up stabbed by a dwarf with a knife
You've got to laugh
Chorus
You've got to laugh.
You've got to laugh.
Make a miracle by giggling.
You've got to get that belly jiggling.
Just laugh.
You've got to laugh.
It's a ha-ha-ha-hard life.
So laugh.
V3
When your husky dog has tentacles
You've got to laugh.
When your brother eats your ventricles
You've got to laugh.
V3
And when your boss sends you to a spooky castle
And a vampire grabs you by the tassle.
You could really do, without the hassle.
So laugh.
Chorus
You've got to laugh.
You've got to laugh.
Make a miracle by giggling.
You've got to get that belly jiggling.
Just laugh.
You've got to laugh.
It's a ha-ha-ha-hard life.
Middle
Wait, just be sensible.
There are times when laughing can be reprehensible.
If a murderer has killed your bestest friend.
At the morgue a giggle, surely will offend.
If an arsonist burns down your home.
And the flames bring down the rafters.
It is best to put the fire out.
At the time do not make laughter.
But it's nice to have a cheeky chuckle after.
V4
If you watch the news and heart gets cold.
Have a laugh.
If you cry sometimes cos you're getting old.
Have a laugh.
Cos there's a time to weep and a time to scream.
But there's a time designed to let off steam.
For centuries, the answer's been.
Don't throw yourself into the stream!
It's kind of like a miracle cream.
You've got to...
Laugh.

The Tale of the Elizabeth Dane (There's a Home)
V1
If you've lived a life that is harsh and cold.
And you're used to the sea and rain.
Then we call on you, to join our crew.
As we set our sails again.
We're Westward bound on a search for shore.
That will let our kind be free.
But it's hard to find a welcome face
When you're racked with leprosy.
Chorus
Sail ye on my boys, we'll find a home.
We will one day leave this sea.
As the heavens glow, let the North wind know.
We will found a colony.
V2
Tis bleak upon this April night.
But a light doth shine ahead.
We have spied a glow on the distant shore.
Tis a sight to raise the dead.
Our navvy lads have read the maps.
We have found Antonio Bay.
Praise the God of sky and the Lord of Deep.
We will walk on land this day.
Chorus
Sail ye on my boys, we've found a home.
For tonight we leave this sea.
As the heavens glow, let the North wind know.
We will found this colony.
V3
Must the devil ride upon our backs.
Tis a dark and evil breed.
For the fiery glow was a serpents throw.
From a town that's built on greed.
Our clipper ship hath hit the rocks.
And the hull is sheered in two.
And as The Dane goes down and they steal the crown.
Of our lonely sinking crew.
Chorus
Sink ye down my boys, we've found our home.
At the bottom of the sea.
But as the fog rolls in, we will punish sin.
There'll be life for you and me.
Sinky ye down my boys, to freezing home.
I will try to comfort ye.
Till the fog rolls in and we punish sin.
There'll be life for you and me.
V4
'Tis April now and a hundred years
Have turned our hearts to stone.
Let me take your hand as we rise to land
Feel the flesh upon your bones.
Only six will die, tis a happy sum!
And the cross I'll take for me.
For the ocean waves will not be our graves.
'Tis a prayerful, loud decree!
Chorus
So sail ye on my boys, we'll find a home.
For a night we leave this sea.
As the heavens glow, may the North wind know.
We will crush conspiracy.
Let the God who made the ocean deep.
Set a course of jubilee!
Try not to cry, for we'll find the dry.
There's a home.
For you and me...
