Scarlet INside The Room of MUndane THings Sally Learns V1. She puts her ear against the wall Listens to every vibration, every sensation Stamps her foot to make the world shake Hear the tone, the note the music make V2. Push and pull, twang and bang There’s nothing she can’t do better With a twist, a bang and a beater Draw the bow, 440 reverberate the new Chorus What you can do, another you Who resonates the view With clash, crash and ding Show them how you sing Inter 1 Create the sound from silence The harmony of the worlds INter 2. The perfection of a semitone When it vibrates (right) down into the bone V3. Sally puts her ear against the wall And hears a kind of music all her own When Every waveform makes another sound Sally learns to listen to the ground V.4. She trembles with every tremor that she feels Rippling breakers paint a world she can share With touch and feel she makes another sound Sally learns to listen to the ground

Scarlet INside The Room of MUndane Things The Room of MUndane THings Lost in the Rubble, the TRouble, The scrubble I wandered through valleys and alleys of shelves Time tossed and senseless, what’s something’s now nothing The things that we loved, now catalogued and left Roaming the musty gloom, row after row In silence forgotten, discarded and rotten Geegaws and ornaments, bits and stuff A broken china turtle dove Helmets, pelmets, cats and hats Oil on board, the fifth earl on a hunt The broad jump bronze from 1908 Sepia photos torn, crumpled and burnt Chorus Lost, tossed, hidden and found Things Mundane in touch and sound Caused by time to lose their tale From dust to rust all fades to pale Row upon row of unread books, no proof they were ever drafted Sir robert Murdoch Struan’s 8 volume bloody tome, 40 years with rod, line and gun Bells, buckles, bones, phones, pheromones, a pigstick spear unshafted Old wheels juju and haha, a child in a jar undone A demand from a lawyer, for a bill from a tailor A lost love logged on perfumed pink paper Tiger skin, ming vase, stone tools flint and bone All lost in memory, want, left alone Game birds, deer head, water buffalo horn Celtic cross, monkey’s paw, a shrunken head hair shorne Greenglaze, samain, skeletal homo sapien Brass spittoon, cartoon. A finger of cousin damian Yellowing paper, a cavalry sabre The deeds to a long gone french farmhouse Cassette tapes, some brown drapes, a stuffed bear, a low pair A Poster of bruce lee, a decomposed mouse An old china tea set with hand painted flowers 3 crystal bells and a t towel from rhyll Chorus 2 In this Room of MUndane things Where the walls are closing in I could search to the edge, Year upon year To find one honest tear Roaming the musty gloom, shelf after shelf In silence forgotten, discarded and rotten What once was important and held so dear The flotsam and jetsam of life, all lost and hidden here. Lost in the rubble, the trouble, the scrubble I wander through rooms, full of history’s songs Goods and possessions, chattel and baggage Lost in the dust of time nothing belongs In this pile of Humdrum things Our stories are lost in the gloom A moment so precious, singular time Hoarded and saved in this mundane room

4.	DEad PEople's THings for SAle 09:00	lyrics	buy track
Scarlet INside The Room of MUndane THings DEad PEople’s THings for SAle V1. Coins jingle, tables groan, with weighty piles of things unknown Cries of ‘Welcome’! A call to arms. Bangles, beads and bloody charms Waste not want not, who’s to lose? When we drift upon that last silent cruise Conscience hidden, a likely tale. When it’s time for dead people’s things for sale V2. Such a loss, such a loss. Everything gone on a simple coin toss Nothing left but rags and bags, a whole life story, told in dross Good as new, old as sin, taken and sorted on rack and bale Bargains bought, good causes sought, when it’s time for dead people’s things for sale Chorus Dead people’s things for sale Dead people’s things for sale Anything we’ve got from diamond to cotton Everything must go, a life forgotten V3. The things we bought, we loved, we cherished The things we lived for till we perished The perfect gift that meant so much A memory lost, beyond our touch

Scarlet INside The Room of MUndane THings POison Signals V1. Distant Signals, Poison Air I think that you can hear me now Dreaming Waveforms, Blood and Steel I'm sure that you can hear me now V2. Water to fire I want you to hear me now Listen to the moving pulse I think that you can hear me now.... Chorus Craving the voice, Breeding the noise Breeding the noise, Needing the voice V3. Distant noises, creeping close I wish that you could hear it now Burning through your willing skin I hope that you can feel it now 2nd Chorus V4. Whispering like BLissful hiss I hope that you can hear me now Message formed, the Scarlet Kiss I think that you can hear me now 3rd chorus Craving the voice Needing the noise Slaving the voice Breeding the noise Losing the voice Hearing the noise Distant signals Poison air................
6.	See How She Moves 08:40	lyrics	buy track
Scarlet INside. The Room of Mundane things See how she moves V1. AS the Sun Blushes to hide it’s drowsy face Behind a blanket of flowering clouds And the moons fresh candle starts to shine In the shading blue sky The water shimmers and burns Like a home fire in my memory See how she flies on the star-speckled mirror V2. Coming home at last She turns into the wind The glowing jewels of harbour Are treasures to her soul Journey over, fear and sorrow gone She throws ashore her lines And rests her weary body Soft against those she loves Chorus Too too many years She’s run against the storm Too too many miles She’s drifted from her home Carving through deep waters She’s fought with every foe Striving to the windward tack To return her to my course See how she moves in the wind See how she moves in the wind
7.	I HAve Not 09:00	lyrics	buy track
Scarlet INside The Room of MUndane THings I HAve Not V1. I have not got the time or the patience. To listen to you I have not got the will or inclination To hear you I have not got any interest In what you want I will do what I will When i choose to Mahna No Varua Ino Ch I am the sound and the light I am divine right V2. I am what I do not say I am to you Fade and shadow I can tell you what i think i am To blind you I have words, oh the best of words To use you I have got no inner voice to guide me Unless it suits me Mahna No Varua Ino Ch I am the sound and the fury I am the judge and the jury Pt 2 The dream Mahna no varua ino I am a dream of myself High above, Iolair, i fly Iolair, i fly Mahna No Varua Ino
8.	PUzh 07:25	lyrics	buy track
Scarlet INside The Room of MUndane THings Puzh V1. Round and round and round she goes Up and through the where who knows By and by the grinding chain To and fro and back again V2. Slip and slide the clockwork dream Link and glide on string and beam Wheel and cog on flywheel flow Back again and to and fro V3. On her knees she prays for time In her eyes machine and line Turn the handle, gear the train Fro and sway and valve retain V4. Round and round and round she goes Free and easy, where it shows Wire and steel, the perfect feel Feeding from the wheel in wheel
