In a way I want everyone to experience Dai’s lyrical genius and unique voice, but on the other hand I want it all to myself. I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a gold mine which is an amazing feeling - I never knew music could be this good. Good, yes - but not this good!

I was on the brink of a discovery
I could have reached, it was above of me
But I was picking and a-choosing
What you got you got to lose
You never said you were in love with me
When we sat under the cherry tree
You took me for fool
What you got you got to lose
I don't mind
Anymore
Spending all my time alone
I was fine, I was sure
That everything I had I owned
I thought that love was a monopoly
Something I should have thought through properly
All this stuff that I've accrued
What you got you got to lose

Muffaletta won't you come on home
Because I love you more than you could know
Muffaletta won't you throw me a bone
Because I need to know that I won't be alone
I'll be the girl that you wanted me to be
Like a leaf on a tree getting blown every which way

20 years today I sailed away over Lake Ponchartrain
Said to myself I'm never gonna see that girl again
I still got the gris gris that you made for me
Now they say that you're a voodoo queen
You, unmistakably you
Walk right into the room
Like you've never been gone
Sweet Marie Laveau
I'm home, it's been too long
Well I caught you whispering with Pere Antoine
Covered in a rooster's blood incanting psalms
You say that you were praying for the sick and weak
Now I know you put a voodoo curse on me
You, irredeemably you
Do I look like a fool?
You'd sell me for a song
Sweet Marie Laveau
You know the magic's gone
You came to me in a dream
With a knife in your teeth
I'm afraid for my life
Please Marie Laveau, you know I'm not worth it
You're not my wife
There's no need to hurt me
Please be nice

In Your Own Movie

Look at what you're driving in the wrong part of town
Turn on the radio - it's Golden Brown
Tweak the mirror get a glimpse of his face
Step on the gas let's get on out of this place
You're in your own movie
You're in your own movie
Somebody's gonna get you
Somebody's gonna take you down
Don't pick up the cold gun
You're gonna need a real one
And if you don't you might not steal the show
I'm watching dailies - you missed your mark
Something inside you is afraid of the dark
Work a bit harder - get into role
Switch off the camera so nobody knows

Strong Like Dolly

I wish I had someone
To pick out my clothes
A brother or a sister
To help carry this load (carry this load)
And I know
From my head down to my toes
I could never be strong like Dolly
Dolly's been a rock to me
I wish I had someone
To comb out my hair
And never ever ask me
What the hell's going on downstairs
It's the whole truth
That caught me unawares
I could never be strong like Dolly
Dolly's been a rock to me
In a thousand years or so
Will you still be good as new?
if the world is dark and cold
We're going to make our way through
I wish I had someone
Back from the dead
I'd take some of your good years
And let them live them on out instead
Remember to thank her
For our daily bread
I could never be strong like Dolly
Dolly's been a rock to me

White Horses
04:11

We went to sail in the endless blue
There was wind in the bottle so we let it loose
I fashioned a ring that was made for two
And the sea spoke softly
Take this fishbone to use as a comb
Take some seaweed to tie in a bow
Don't you worry if you're both alone
These white horses will carry you home
As soon as the waves had said their piece
We cast out a net and caught a feast
We whistled a tune to ward off the beast
And the sea spoke softly
Do you take this boy to use as your own
Tie him firm and never let go
Don't you worry if you're both alone
These white horses will carry you home
The coral was pink and the crabs were blue
The smell of the salt brought him to
He thought it a dream but it was true
And the sea spoke softly
See this driftwood, follow it all the way
In order to find you he travelled here on his own
It may be a thousand miles until you reach the shore
These white horses will carry you home
