Honour 03:00
Honour (K.Ravindan) You sit quietly With a bunch of lemmings on your knee In your cave there’s a window Where the Himalayan sun won’t rest until you sleep You like to play this game You got seven little pills to ease away the pain But one is laced, with just enough cyanide to blow you back to earth again Where do you go if you’ve just been waiting? Waiting to be loved by a crazy stage man Why’d I have to start this stupid plan? Sweep them away Bring me a new line of dancers I’ve got a plan this time, don’t mess with me Where do you go if you’ve just been waiting? Waiting to be loved by my mother’s saviour Why’d I have to start this stupid plan? I’m breaking up this town I wanna know, can I leave with honour? Reel it in I don’t wanna loose my head I wanna know, can I leave with honour? Lick it up I don’t wanna lick my wounds I wanna know, can I leave with honour?

Plaguing 04:42
Plaguing (K.Ravindran) Timing’s all I need, can you take me back to youth and innocence? You threw your prize on a tree, can you tell me why I waited even then? You’re building me up Oh you’re building me up But don’t be long you know I’ll wait Yeah I’ll be praying in the sun If I wake up I’ll know my way Yeah I’ll be digging in the mud You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heartless rage You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heartless rage Light me up in red, and you tell me something new to phase my head Purple leather, white and blue can you see me through your microscope and hair? I never want to see you when you fall, no I never want to see you on the floor You’re building me up Oh you’re building me up But don’t be long you know I’ll wait Yeah I’ll be praying in the sun If I wake up I’ll know my way Yeah I’ll be digging in the mud You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heartless rage You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heart You’re plaguing in my heartless rage

Wedding Bells (K.Ravindan) Told myself I wouldn’t write another love song Told myself I wouldn’t write another love song Told myself I wouldn’t write another love song Told myself I wouldn’t write another love song I know you got no reason to see me, so darling won’t you listen up I know you got no reason to leave him, so darling won’t you just take a chance? Don’t marry that boy, don’t marry that boy Please don’t marry that boy, please don’t marry that boy Don’t marry that boy, don’t marry that boy Please don’t marry that boy, please don’t marry that boy I don’t wanna hear about it, I don’t wanna read the invitation And if I knew it was coming up, I’d have to book me a trip to Spain, I’d have to book me a trip to Spain Don’t marry that boy, don’t marry that boy Please don’t marry that boy, please don’t marry that boy Don’t marry that boy, don’t marry that boy Please don’t marry that boy, please don’t marry that boy I wish I was seven years old again, and I knew all of the things I knew I’d kill a man for a DeLorean, so I could do all of the things I need to do

Othello 04:32
Othello (K.Ravindran) I I told you ever tale so you would know I never had the silver spoon and robe I only had myself along the road And you just stood and stared Amazed at what I said Forgetting who I was Forgetting how they spoke A black man held a loft In a white man’s boulevard In glorified esteem But don’t forget your place And daddy said you’re not Allowed to love this man For he’s not one of us But you still held my hand You still held my hand You still held my hand II Oh jealousy you’ll bring me down The animals inside me come to play Rumour, whisper, take me to the blade Iago you puppeteer, you’ll take me to the blade Yeah I’m sure, you would take me to the blade But I can’t see III Desdemona you were paradise And you’ll stay in my eyes as I sit here and contemplate my sacrifice A newborn baby on its way And it will never now my cowardice, my impotence and all you claimed Why’d I have to go insane? I’m so sorry I’m insane My darling oh wait, oh wait
