Sinister: more peel session lyrics

[Damon Seils]

Here's an attempt at lyrics for "Nothing in the Silence" and "(My Girl's
Got) Miraculous Technique." I was having trouble with "The Magic of a
Kind Word," so I didn't bother.


NOTHING IN THE SILENCE

Something set me thinking
When I opened up my eyes
That there was nothing there to tell me
I'd been listening to lies

But in silence there is truth
There is beauty, there is love
There is nothing in the silence
To be frightened of

  Her retreat in so few words
  Is the last thing you'd expect
  But there's danger in assuming
  That she's being direct

  Take a look behind her eyes
  And you will see
  That she knows nothing of silence
  Silence can only come from me

Allow me then a little time
To listen to their voices
It's the glamour and confusion
It's the rattling and the noises

That obscure the truth, the beauty,
And the love,
And the clarity that silence
Is the guardian of

  She talks of clarity and silence,
  Of beauty and of truth
  But such a hurt for evidence
  Such a [??] for proof

  Take a look behind her eyes
  And you will see
  That she knows nothing of silence
  Silence can only come from me

(MY GIRL'S GOT) MIRACULOUS TECHNIQUE

Oh no, the snow's stopped snowing
Maybe we'll get some bowling and drinking in
And looking at the sky

Pretend that you despise it
Why does your lazy eye rest on his skin
His arm, and his [??] too

CHORUS
Take a look around you
The spring has sent the sound of rain upon your windowsill
So grab your coat and play a song for me

Don't think that I've forgotten
We've grown up, but I know the reason
I want to curl up in your room

That's why we're on the late shift
Take me, I've made a [??]. I've got my clothes dry-cleaned
To commemorate the day

REPEAT CHORUS

STRINGS AND FLUTE BIT

And now my legs are weak, but if I
Hear my baby speak then I'll start running
She's got miraculous technique

If I could be a song, I would be
Something that would snake into your room
And be with you the whole night long

REPEAT CHORUS

MORE STRINGS AND FLUTE TO END
