The Icicle Works
HOLLOW HORSE
Lyrics
Be Careful What You Dream of
It May Come Up and Surprise You
I Can't Confess My Life's a Mess
I've Come to Idolise You
You Liken It to Walking On Hot Coals
I'll Keep My Boots On
Wisen Up and Fly Straight
There's a Shape On the Horizon
In a Hollow Horse I'll Steal My Way
Inside Your Guarded Heart
So Selfishly the Needs I Harbour
When We Are Apart
My Past Strung Out Behind Me,
Contradiction and Disaster
I'm in Search of Charity,
A Union I Could Master
We'll Be As We Are
When All the Fools
Who Doubt Us Fade Away
Fortune Deep and Wide
Intimidated, Restless in the Wait
Things I Chose to Value
I no Longer Have a Use For
I Ridicule Myself For All the Things
Those Symbols Stood For
When Vanity Has Played a Part
In Every Leader's Downfall
Wait to Storm the Gates, What's Left
Undone to Hang Around For
We'll Be As We Are
When All the Fools
Who Doubt Us Fade Away
Fortune Deep and Wide
Intimidated, Restless in the Wait

The Icicle Works
LOVE IS A WONDERFUL COLOUR
Lyrics
VERSE 1
My friend and I were talking one evening beside some burning wood
Trading tales of places we came upon when the times were good
Spoke of a girl he viewed like no other whom he had come to know
I swallowed hard and listened intently resigned beside the glow
Always there it's standing healthy when all else falls down
It's all around you didn't it find you when you said it couldn't be found
CHORUS
When love calls me I will be running swiftly to find out
Just what all the fuss is all about
Unrelentless deep in the greatest feelings believe me
Love is full of wonderful colour
VERSE 2
I can still hear your soft voice repeating immortal words
Mountains move, belief is your weapon is all seems so absurd
I insist that you've picked the wrong one to preach your feelings to
Simmer down we'll run for a reason to see what faith can do
Love is a beacon on the horizon watch when you touch down
Reality finds you fumbling for reasons when the chance comes round
CHORUS 2
Take my confidence to guide you through the fallen hope inside you
Love is full of wonderful colour
Take my confidence to guide you through the fallen hope inside you
Love is full of wonderful colour

1983 - UK 7" - The Icicle Works - BIRDS FLY (Whisper To A Scream) - Situation Two SIT 22
The Icicle Works
BIRDS FLY (WHISPER TO A SCREAM)
Lyrics
Love come down upon us till you flow like water
Burning with the hope of insight
Feathered look their covered with a bright elation
Stolen in the sight of love
CHORUS
We are we are we are
but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are we are we are
Ever helpless
Take us forever
A whisper to a scream
Birds fly
In the eyes of the faithless daughter
Broken
At the bitter end
Wasted
Sacrificed for a new nirvana
Nighttime sends us on our way
CHORUS
We are we are we are
But your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are we are we are
Ever helpless
Take us forever
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
repeat chorus to fade

The Icicle Works
NIRVANA
Lyrics
Armadillo skin and the leafy green,
Our minds are where we keep her,
The ideals born of the western world,
Were always buried deeper.
When at the end of the working day,
We imitate the mountains,
Riding high on a wanderlust,
To question what we came for.
CHORUS
You know we're living for your love,
You know we're living for you,
Come out of the dark elusive one,
Hear your subjects who call you,
You know we're living for your love,
You know we're living for you,
Come out of the dark, be sure of this,
Nirvana we adore you.
Burned and dry our sights are high,
Forever young with wonder,
With our bare hands, built an empire there,
To sacrifice and plunder.
Repeat CHORUS
