Originally spotted on the japansylvian.com forum, David is guesting on L A N D’s upcoming album “Night Within”. As usual, here’s my take on the lyrics.

My take on the full songs lyrics, 30 second sample up on davidsylvian.net.
Many Names Lyrics
On 2012-01-08 when I'm usually waking up, under Recordings
There’s an extra stanza not transcribed on the bandcamp page ~3:50 in the song. It’s a hard to make out many of the words being sung, but my take on the lyrics is here.
From Thomas himself: “The song ends with sun “sets” for sure. But before that your guess is as good as mine. The intensive section just wouldn’t allow for any left-brain activity, so I guess you could call it glossolalia, intuitive singing or whatever.”
Died in the Wool Lyrics (preview clips)

My unofficial (e.g. may be wrong) lyric transcriptions of the preview clips for new songs on Died in the Wool are up on the Selected Lyrics page. Looking forward to hearing the complete album!
Five Lines Lyrics
On 2010-09-08 when I'm usually waking up, under Recordings
Only six lines of lyrics, but here’s my take on them. You can listen to the sample (along with the other tracks – how many remastering changes can you find?) at the official Sleepwalkers mini-site or just download the 30 second clip directly.
update: I’ve done a rough transcription of the entire song.
