The Ballad of Solomon Browne 05:36
lyrics
From cliffs above the sea, the Christmas lights are blinking, another Christmas Eve, a ship at sea is sinking. The men that heard the call, had gathered in devotion, The bravest act of all, was made without a question Remember, December, what you did will live forever Remember, December. Like shadows in the night, they launched her into anger A ghost ships distant lights, pulled under by the water Remember, December, what you did will live forever Remember, December. Remember, December, what you did will live forever Remember, December. From cliffs above the sea, the Christmas lights are no more, A village lost at sea, just wreckage washed up ashore Remember, December, what you did will live forever Remember, December. Remember, December, what you did will live forever Remember, December.

Wooden Horse 03:54
lyrics
We don’t matter anymore. The rich steal money from the poor. We have no voice, and little choice. We don’t matter anymore. Corporations own the news. Political bias infects the truth. They feed us fear, to keep us near. Corporations own the news. Are we so deaf that we cannot hear? Are we so blind that we don’t see so clear? Are we so deaf that we cannot hear? Are we so blind that we don’t see so clear? What is different is not wrong. You exploit the frail to look strong. You pick on the weak, and call them freaks. What is different is not wrong. Are we so deaf that we cannot hear? Are we so blind that we don’t see so clear? Are we so deaf that we cannot hear? Are we so blind that we don’t see so clear?

lyrics
Is that all you have to say That isn’t how you mean this to play You said we could talk it through Just a little thing – in your view But instead you told lies - covered up with more lies Whispers and glances, secrets and sighs But instead you told lies - covered up with more lies Whispers and glances, secrets and sighs Leave me on my own Leave me I am better on my own What a stupid thing to say When you didn’t mean it anyway You thought we could talk it through Such a little thing – in your view But instead you told lies - covered up with more lies Whispers and glances, secrets and sighs But instead you told lies - covered up with more lies Whispers and glances, secrets and sighs Leave me on my own Leave me I am better on my own Leave me on my own Leave me I am better on my own
