1	2	Firepower (live 1992) He beats the door and breaks his watch Raids the fridge and eats the lot No room for silence, pause of thought To ease the hurt inside him They placed a barrel at his head Raging blind and rising Cursed by saints and all the rest He can't stand up for trying Shot through with anger and desire A mouth to feed, a room for hire He drinks 'goodbyes', the bottle dry Brutalised but smiling Causing casualties by the hour Outweighed by stars And Firepower Causing casualties by the hour Waylayed by stars And Firepower He beats the door and breaks the lock Afraid to sleep he won't let up No room for silence, pause or thought To ease the hurt inside him	Firepower (live 1992)	Firepower (live 1992) Performed live in 1992 during the First Day tour.

1	4	Under Ingrid's Wheels (live 1992) Sunlight on glass Caught me blind And the wages of love Blew in at my side I held its wings And swallowed it whole Now it shines in my shadow White lines my road I take the vow And I swallow the pill I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels The road is long And I know just how it feels I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels The heat is cold And mind is hot The body is aching But reaching for the stars The angels breathe In snow and ice And they nail in my grip Some semblance of life I've burned the rope And I've hammered the steel I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels The road is long And I know just how it feels I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels I burned her name In God's valleys and fields I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels	Under Ingrid's Wheels (live 1992)	Under Ingrid's Wheels (live 1992) Performed live during the First Day (1992) and Slowfire (1995) tour.

1	6	The First Day (live 1992) Bring out the stars And fade to silence Let the heart decide and watch it grow Ring out the bells Trading in blindness Fooled by kisses Touched by wings Shadow-fall And water fills the room Bathed in moon grey blue Baby came and spoke her name With promises to call again Swimming gold in a blackened sea She troubles me She troubles me Counting the ways To fall without landing Stumbling into flight Descent and slide Compressing sound From coal to diamond Words are knotted tight To chords that bind Shadow-fall And water fills the room Bathed in moon grey blue Baby came and spoke her name With promises to call again Swimming gold in a shipwrecked sea She troubles me She troubles me Received by the eye, believed by the word Be seen to make haste, when the soundings are heard Don't discourage me Whittling down the wood with the stone If the boundary breaks I'm no longer alone Don't discourage me Bring out the stars On the first day The first day The first day	The First Day (live 1992)	The First Day (live 1992) Performed live in 1992 during the First Day Tour.
1	9	The House In Which We Live (Mood #1) (live 1992) (spoken) We enter the circle Arches that burn Lights on the colours and cornices Leaves parch and inject the air with moisture Walk into the small building to the dust that sweeps the tiny half-moon And above some steps, onto the moving eye of God The coarse chatters and sounds of the many people Framework binds the skin, pulling tight No sleep, lying in the dugout Held by the sound of the blood beat (sung) We'll build our harbours High on sand Let water in to overflowing Sealed up doors with Stars and kisses Coloured shadows hidden home Like figures on a bed of coal Full moons rise up And forgive We climb the ladder Descending low To reach the grounds Of the house in which we live Blinding light of heaven I turn the tables You concentrate I tell her stories She speaks of everything she sees I'm in the shade She's in the blinding light of heaven. The fire laid My paper boats Now she stands before the opening The buttons of her coat I find myself Wrapped in the open arms of heaven She's giving me everything she owns Electricity The highest words His idle hands I turn my back Where she's done everything she can I've lied awake Thinking about the bubbly adventures She's giving me directions of I don't see a thing You told me off Grace I lacked You clipped my wings But now my strength is coming back I layed my case Before the open heart of heaven	The House In Which We Live (Mood #1) (live 1992)	The House In Which We Live (Mood #1) (live 1992) Played during the First Day tours in Japan and Italy.
