Soul of Spain

Spain, you've taken me
Spain, you've taken me
And where I used to be
No longer home, no longer home
But I'm not to blame
The fault lies with the land
And my house is no longer my house
And I'm no longer me
I' been singing scales
Then she touched my throat with her finger,
The blood flowed like a river,
Someone please call a doctor.
I've been dreaming of
Vagabonds and buleria
Shadows in the fields
Where we made love without fear
I sing for my friends
I sing for my friends
And now we have begun
Where will we end?
With Emily la bajani
With Emily la bajani
And the blues, the rumba and soul
Where will we go?
Where will we go?

Addie's Song

I sing for my brother, wherever he may wander I’m with him
You never walk alone
All the mistakes I made I swear I never meant to do you wrong
Forgive me if you can
Cause your blood’s my blood
And your blood’s my blood
Cause your blood’s my blood
And together we belong
I know the songs where you chopped and missed your fingers took a beating
And our blood was bleeding
I saw you at the stall in a giant Santa Claus serving pancake
On a minimum wage
And I saw the stains on your clothes after work in the pub
But then came ‘Anyone for Shark?’
And we sang layalalalayalalayalay!
This silence hurts like a bird whose wings are clipped I cry
I can’t fly but I might sing
‘So may the winds rise to great you on your way
And may the sun shine gently on your back’
Cause your love’s my love
And your love’s my love
Cause your love’s my love
And together we belong

From the Heartlands

Well the rain falls in Birmingham
Gently on the roof
There’s a fire downstairs but don’t be scared
Stick together, we’ll see it through
This city’s like a metronome
Keep your finger on the pulse
We’ve been building towers of song
That are strong, stronger than most
From the Heartlands
Well the paint pots empty
At least the brushes were filled
And the bristles might be dry, I wonder why
But you know they’ll be wet again soon
In this festival of confusion
My friends have sung before
We’ll find a way through the damp dark grey
And when we sing we sing with soul
From the Heartlands
Well the rain still whispers
Though few people hear
Just you wait for that urgent escape
And we’ll be coming, we’ll be coming near
From the Heartlands
