Neighbour Boy

Neighbour Boy, put his head out

Into the branches in the wind: I'd like to tell him to stop

I used to be admiring of those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighbour boy, put his head out

he is not coming home for a while: see how it goes

I used to keep my hair long like those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighbour boy, you're wanting to feel free

the further you go away from your home

I used to be admiring of those who never compromised meaningfully

Neighborboy, what takes you?

He looks me straight in the eye

He looks just like a shadow of whom I used to be

The song is about leaving home too early. Sometimes a boy thinks he is a man and tries his

luck.

Over my Head

I saw the fire of an old burning house

and up by the window, the smoke and light came out

right over my head

I felt the thunder here on our shaking earth

and down by the gutter, the streaming tide came out

right over my head

I heard the whisper of the many foreign years

and when the door burns, the beating time slows down

right over my head
