2. The last living rose lyrics
3. The glorious land
4. The words that maketh murder
5. All and everyone
6. On battleship hill
7. England
8. In the dark places
9. Bitter branches
10. Hanging in the wire
11. Written on the forehead
12. The colour of the earth

Goddamn' Europeans!
Take me back to beautiful England
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages,
fog rolling down behind the mountains,
& on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.

Let me walk through the stinking alleys
to the music of drunken beatings,
past the Thames River, glistening like gold
hastily sold for nothing.

Let me watch night fall on the river,
the moon rise up and turn to silver,
the sky move,
the ocean shimmer,
the hedge shake,
the last living rose quiver.
