| So you're the kind of vegetarian | O God as I called you before | |||
| It's not so hard to say goodbye | Here was the Harbour, crowded with white ships... | |||
| The nightmares do not suddenly | He was lame | |||
| A cross didn't fall on me | I am too loud when you are gone | |||
| In the Bible generations pass... | You know where I have been | |||
| Ah, what were the names I gave you | Somewhere in my trophy room... | |||
| One night I burned the house I loved | I guess it's time to say goodbye... | |||
| Give me dog, dogs, wolves, to serve, praise, kneel | For a long while I have been watching the city | |||
| You know there was honey in my system | I was standing on the stairs | |||
| Nothing has been broken | Snow is falling | |||
| Here we are at the window | Here was the Market... | |||
| When I paid the sun to run | I am anointed with directions | |||
| O love intrude into this strangerhood | I met a woman long ago | |||
| Clean as the grass from which | You are the Model | |||
| Terribly awake I wait | I've seen some lonely history | |||
| I wonder if my brother will ever read this | No disease or age makes the flesh unwind | |||
| I see you on a Greek mattress | These notebooks, these notebooks | |||
| Suzanne wears a leather coat | Created fires I cannot love | |||
| Desperate sexual admirals | Claim me, blood, if you have a story | |||
| Nancy lies in London grass | When a world is being born | |||
| You broke the thin highway | He was beautiful when he sat alone | |||
| Two went to sleep | I am a priest of God | |||
| What did I do with my breath | In almond trees lemon trees | |||
| I met Doc Dog The Poker Hound | Suzanne takes you down | |||
| Found once again shamelessly ignoring the swans... | Give me back my fingerprints | |||
| The stars turn their noble stories | Foreign God, reigning in earthly glory... | |||
| When I hear you sing | This morning I was dressed by the wind | |||
| My secret fell on a language | I believe you heard your master sing | |||
| A goldfish died in a cloudy bowl | I stepped into an avalanche | |||
