"Poor Edward" lyrics
"Poor Edward"
Did you hear the news about Edward?
On the back of his head, he had another face
Was it a woman's face or a young girl?
They said to remove it would kill him
So poor Edward was doomed
The Face could laugh and cry
It was his devil twin
And at night she spoke to him
Of things heard only in Hell
They were impossible to separate
Chained together for life
Finally the bell tolled his doom
He took a suite of rooms
And hung himself and her by the balcony irons
Some still believe he was freed from her
But I knew her too well
I say she drove him to suicide
And took Poor Edward to Hell

Last night I swear I felt your touch
Gentle and warm
The hair stood on my arms
How, how, how?
Now, show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory...
Antony And The Johnsons - "One Dove" One dove
You're the one I've been waiting for
Through the dark fall
The nightmares, the lonely nights
I was born
A curling fox in a hole
Hiding from danger
Scared to be alone
One dove
To bring me...
