A Japanese Dream — B-side to Why Can’t I Be You? UK 7”/12” singles
I’m going back to the land of the blind
Back to the land where the sun never shines
I’m going back there and I’m hoping to find
Everything just as it was before
I left it all behind
I slept at nights there hysterically
Twisted and turned
But I just couldn’t get free
Opened my eyes
But I still couldn’t see
But I could feel her…
China white girl
So, I get down on the floor
Like I am worshiping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
Mmmmmm…
That was a Japanese dream alright
The sound of the storm
And the flickering light
And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like…
Like her scent used to fill up the night
So, I get down on the floor
Like I am worshiping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
Just look at me now
Just look at me this way
It looks like I am quite insane
It looks like I am trying to eat off my face
It looks like I’m going to the land of the blind anyway…
Back where the sun never shines
Back to the land of the blind
Back in a Japanese dream

A Chain of Flowers — B-side to Catch UK 12” single and Just Like Heaven US 12” single
Please wake up
It’s so dark and cold
Please wake up
I feel so alone
And I feel so scared
That you’re going away
And I feel so scared…
All I want is summer
Stories from before
Just like the day you tried to hide
Behind the churchyard wall
And fell asleep before I came
I found you
In a chain of flowers
Sleeping like a marble girl
Sleeping in another world…
I’ll never tell you
Of all the different ways
You make me so afraid
Snow in Summer — B-side to Just Like Heaven UK 7”/12” singles
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your deep green heart
I drink you as I swim
And I’m sliding
And I’m sliding with you
Slide beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You open up in me
Just like the snow in summer
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your soft white heart
I drink you as I swim
And I’m falling
And I’m falling with you
Fall beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You come
And close in me
Just like the snow in summer
Just like the snow in summer
As it melts
Into the sea
Sugar Girl — B-side to Just Like Heaven UK 12” single
Oh, I wish I could find it funny
You laughing like that
But instead I change into a rage
And run around
Without a face…
I wish I could find it funny
When you never came back
But I don’t suppose I’ll ever know
The how to keep you
Goodbye sugar girl
Goodbye sugar girl
To the Sky — Unreleased track recorded in 1987. Released on the Stranger than Fiction CD, 1989
One perfect morning I was all alone
Listening to the blaze of summer
Drifting
I was falling
I was floating in a golden haze
Breathing in the sky blue sounds
Of memories of other days
And in my dreams, I was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And I was floating through the colours of a sky
Up to the stars and angels
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Turning in my climb
I looked down on a lake
And traced upon the water there
I saw your face
And sang in recollection
Of the times we shared…
Then pushed on ever upward
To the sky
And in my dreams, I was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And I was floating through the colours of a sky
Up to the stars and angels
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
