Chromium plated, anachronistic alibi
Building a kibbutz in the reservoir turncoat
New Orleans, trampoline, every day is halloween
Take another zinc, will the drilling ever stop? (no!)
Gotta strip it out cos the rot is setting in
Got a message from the sin, but I really need to focus
The doorbell rings, and the milky white vinyl sings
Another hour gone not achieving anything
Where will this go? I don't know
Where will this lead? Well let's see
Oops, by accident we made a mess of everything
Oops, my best intentions going wrong
The nightingales sing...
Typical equation, a simile branching
Up in the ionosphere, butterfly collecting
Television ploughed through the density
Can it really be heard over all the humming
And tertiary abductions, you'll never see me coming
But the public really want an imbalance in the chemicals
Now it's automatic you can shelter in the monitors
Passage is denied til you figure out the access codes
Where will this go? I don't know
Where will this lead? Well let's see
Oops, by accident we made a mess of everything
Oops, my best intentions going wrong
The nightingales sing...

Long Story Short
02:17
|

The future was bright
Or so you thought
Until you cut this story short
All you do is talk
Taking what's not yours
But you got caught
Trying to cut this story short
All you do is talk
The story of a girl
Who sailed around the world
On a mission to save us from ourselves
Drowning in a sea
Of things that we don't need
The fire and the smoke don't need our help
Since time began
We're a flash in the pan
The clock is running down
Show me a plan
The future was bright
Or so you thought
Until you cut this story short
All you do is talk
The story of a girl
Who sailed around the world
On a mission to save us from ourselves
Drowning in a sea
Of things that we don't need
The fire and the smoke don't need our help

Just As I Predicted
03:21
|

Just as I predicted
We never see each other any more
And you're the victim
Cos I'm the one who never calls
Cos I'm the one who never calls
Got tired of waiting for you all
And all the borders that I've crossed
And all attempts at getting lost
The forest's never deep enough
The breadcrumb trails I've dropped
Something found or created
Whatever works for you
You're making sense of your time
However badly it's dated
It doesn't matter now
Every working day is wasted
Picking at the same scabs
Every line has been translated
But the meaning's inexact
I'm working on my own plans
Got tired of waiting for you all
And all the borders that I've crossed
And all attempts at getting lost
The forest's never deep enough
The breadcrumb trails I've dropped
Something found or created
Whatever works for you
You're making sense of your time
However badly it's dated
It doesn't matter now

A Barrier
04:20
|
|||
Our naked souls
We're undercover
What brings us close becomes a barrier
Shed your skin and show me how
We hid ourselves from each other
And even now I don't feel welcome
Shed your skin and show me how
A single clue
Cassette compilation
Twisted creature
Like matryoshka shed your skin and show me how
We hid ourselves from each other
And even now I don't feel welcome
Our naked souls
We're undercover
What brings us close becomes a barrier
Standing in the sea
The waves do not care
Breathing in the air
The sky does not care
Sitting on the train
The rails don't care
Lying in my bed
A vacant stare
Checking my wristwatch
The hands do not care
Time it never stops
The hours don't care
Losing every race
With the winners elsewhere
Looking in your face
Why do you care?
Can I feel something
(Can you let us in?)
Labour Shortage
She's getting bored on her 3rd date this week
The app was free so the love became cheap
And in a column she'll share her ennui
And make some money
And so the mill turns
Swimming against the current
You don't look like you are moving
I love the bright lights and I love the late nights
But I don't know what I am losing
We want protection from what we're becoming
Stay out of sight but never stop running
The factory feeds and insatiable need
I didn't know I want it but I want it
Swimming against the current
You don't look like you are moving
I love the bright lights and I love the late nights
But I don't know what I am losing

There's only one ice cream left in the freezer
I'll rochambeau you for it
I'll go first
I wanna watch Gladiators, but you want Baywatch
I'll rochambeau you for it
I'll go first
We've gotta go next door and ask for our ball back
I'll rochambeau you for it
I'll go first
Someone's gonna get kicked in the ballsack
I'll rochambeau you for it
I'll go first
As a way to resolve a conflict
It might be controversial
A kick in the nuts, it's the worst
I'll rochambeau you and I'll go first
It's the last vaccine and I'm next in line
Give the West Bank back to Palestine
We can't decide who won the election
The polls say my boot will beat your erection
As a way to resolve a conflict
It might be controversial
A kick in the nuts, it's the worst
I'll rochambeau you and I'll go first

Oh hi Mark
Tell us another great hospital story
And I'll tell you how to pick up a German accent
In New Orleans
Pictures of spoons
And everyone's wearing tuxedos
Whisky and vodka for the teetotaller
And then he's gonna have sex
With your belly button
I'm so sorry
That nobody's sorry
About your mum's diagnosis
You're tearing me apart, Lisa
Future wife
I think there's a word for that
Inappropriate laugh
Secrets and lies
And who the fuck is this guy?
You're tearing me apart, Lisa
Future wife

Tempers rise in fairer states
And the comedy alleviates
When you need a break
Escape into the wild
Running at the outlines
Anything to hide behind
Dusk is drawing in
I'm not ready for the night
I'll do what I've always done
Go lightly and chase the sun
I'll do what I want to do
I don't need you to approve
Weathering another storm
Welcome to the great indoors
Imperceptible scratches on the disc
You're still the same person
So where has the ambition gone?
Getting what you want
Was simple all along
I'll do what I've always done
Go lightly and chase the sun
I'll do what I want to do
I don't need you to approve

[Pete]
This land was our land
We wrote the history books
Though there may be some pages missing
We came, we saw, we took
I built my castle now
There's no more room to share
With these wetbacks and their backpacks
No, we don't want them here
[Yuki]
My family's gone
The gangs took all our food
I'm moving on
To somewhere I can build myself a home
I've travelled so far, it's been so hard
And I don't want no trouble
All they see are fools and thieves
I don't expect no sympathy from you
I don't want no guests inside this house
I'm inside looking out
Of my window
As I dive into my doubts about you
[Endaf]
We saw them coming from afar
pacing upstream
armed and ready
Didn't look too friendly
Now awkward facts are forgotten
language is trodden
under feet, come in peace
and then slaughter with ease
I don't want no guests inside this house
I'm inside looking out
Of my window
As I dive into my doubts about you

Pleasant Row
03:58
|

Endaf moved south from the valleys
Brought his guitar
Bought a house, raised a family
Made a new start
Maybe his clothes, maybe his accent
Oh did he fit in?
Those neighbourly glances in his direction
Were they looking at him?
The Serviettes:
Pam nad yw’r pobl hyn, byth yn siarad ‘a mi...
Nid y’ whw eisiau gwbod, pwy ydw i
(Why don't these people ever talk to me?
Don't they want to know who I really am?)
Yuki had been living in the same room
For the last 15 years
Going to work, using her camera
Ignoring the stares
Was it her clothes, was it her accent?
She couldn't recall
The white picket fence that separates them
Might as well have been the Berlin Wall
Yuki:
なぜ 皆話さないの
本当の私が誰なのかって
(Naze minna hanasanai no?
Hontou no watashi ga dare na no katte?)
(Why don't these people ever talk to me?
Don't they want to know who I really am?)
Why do we live in this city of millions
Where noone stops to say hello
Life could be so much more if you knock on my door
Swapping pleasantries on Pleasant Row
Swapping pleasantries on Pleasant Row
And then one day they discovered an app
Universal Translate
Where once there were barriers it bridged the gap
To communicate
Talk about art, talk about politics
Talk about love, talk about why...
Why do we live in this city of millions
Where noone stops to say hello
Life could be so much more if you knock on my door
Swapping pleasantries on Pleasant Row
Swapping pleasantries on Pleasant Row
Swapping pleasantries on Pleasant Row

Angela
02:39

Angela, you were working at reception
Having an argument with some Brazilian
About the price of eggs
It has shot into the trillions
And no-one really cares anymore
When I look into your eyes
I can tell that there are numerous delights
You have hidden from my view
What would it take
For you to show me around your closet
And if you've got the time
Can I get my key deposit back?
Angela, my room is on the 7th floor
I would like to show you
But you've seen it all before
I have to share it
With some guys from east Berlin
But then you already knew that
It was you who checked them in
But when I look into your eyes
I have to turn away
Cos I am only shy
I don't think you like
Your men that way
We are in Manhattan
Where everyone is confident
and everybody earns a lot
And spends it on champagne
Angela, this is not my choice
The song must end
It's 2am, I'm making to much noise
I can hear somebody banging on the wall
In the next room
I just wrote this song so you would know
I did not forget you

Stop (You're Killing Me)
02:42
|
|||
Stop forgetting what you've got
you're not trying to wind back the
clock, I don't know what you mean
You've got to make another memory
The plot is something we can write
One shot is still black and white
Distorting all your wayward dreams
Stop, you're killing me
Start to see that I won't take
this personal but wait
Consult your little book
Until it's time to
Stop writing lines that suck
Britpop can only take so much
I'm lost in an Escher canal
When will they release the pressure valve
The flag, does it make you feel ashamed?
Can anybody wash the stain?
Of yet another year of hurt
Stop, before you make it any worse
Start, do a little research
Start, it never hurt
Our ability to make decisions
Is affected by what you remember
Start to make the contact stay
In terms that we can use
Exposure to what's new
The catalyst to change
Start to see that I won't take
this personal but wait
Consult your little book
Until it's time to stop
Start, do a little research
Start, it never hurt
Our ability to make decisions
Is affected by what you remember
Start to make the contact stay
In terms that we can use
Exposure to what's new
The catalyst to change

Safe Underground
04:12
|

The storms in your soul
They come and go
Unpredictable
We'll never know
I used to think
About a cure
There's no hope
For that no more
A quiet grace
Your hidden face
As sure as this reflection's blue
Another snowfall will cover you
Electric appliance
Under the stairs
A broken alliance
Can be repaired
A whisperless walk
Into the vapour
Barefoot stalking
The shape of..
Your future
Outlined in the darkness
As sure as this reflection's blue
Another snowfall will cover you
Away from the chaos and distant sounds
Safe Underground
As sure as this reflection's blue
Another snowfall will cover you
Away from the chaos and distant sounds
Safe Underground

Skeffy

Chaos in the streets in 1916
Trying to persaude them to stop looting
The British soldiers were unsympathetic
The rabble's harrassment got you arrested
In the right place at the wrong time
Skeffy tried to do right
And for that he died
In the right place at the wrong time
Skeffy, did you realise
It turned the tide
An occupation dines out on apathy
I don't care about things that don't affect me
When they stood you against the wall
The shots rang further than a clarion call
In the right place at the wrong time
Skeffy tried to do right
And for that he died
In the right place at the wrong time
Skeffy, did you realise
It turned the tide
Skeffington, Skeffington, Skeffington, etc.

Wet Concrete
02:30
|
|||
A crimson bubble formed
An ornament to all your myths
So turn the lights down low
I was ready for your vitriol
Nothing in the torchlight
But a rustle in the breeze
My car may be inviting me
And a smarter man would leave
Seen your surroundings
But how do I feel you
What have you found in me
Is it so terrible?
Hesitate, let go
Slipping into wet concrete
The string is getting tangled
Is it worth it any more
To fight the irreversible
Effects of being born
Allow yourself a tangent
Before you focus on the page
The things you've kept are better
Than the things you've thrown away
Seen your surroundings
But how do I feel you
What have you found in me
Is it so terrible?
Hesitate, let go
Slipping into wet concrete

As the town burns all appears calm
I don't know why she ran from me
Nothing will pause for us
When you distance yourself
Turn off the beating heart
Learn not to grip so tight
The error was revealed at last
Still clouded by yearning
The difference between knowing it and feeling it
I cannot force you but nothing comes after this
Tormented by dreams of the future
Tormented by memories
Always in darkness
I'm not the only one to see you standing alone
Arcane, statuesque
But it's only a vision
It's only stone
Turn off the beating heart
As the town burns all appears calm
The difference between knowing it and feeling it
Nothing comes after this
Tormented by dreams of the future
Tormented by memories

Byron Bay
02:51
|

Cannons crashing drowning out the waves
Nausea is making me homesick again
We have a job
Can't leave until it's done
I have a dream of seeing
My family someday
I have a dream of going
Back to Byron Bay
Unforgiving winds, atop these clouds I want to leave
Duller than the colour of the stripes on my captains sleeve
We have a job
Can't leave until it's done
I have a dream of seeing
My family someday
I have a dream of going
Back to Byron Bay
I have a dream of seeing
My family someday
Gallipoli's a million
Miles from Byron Bay

Admit Defeat
03:47
|
|||
For anyone who's has to admit defeat
All the things you did
And laid right at her feet
That did not make a difference
And even she could not tell you why
She's with another guy
What did he do
To win that heart?
Played some magic trick
And where's my wizard stick
When I need it?
I guess I'm not
As good as I thought I was
What have I lost?
What did I gain?
Only this pain
That slowly fades day by day
And makes me think
I was just being a silly bastard anyway

Irrational Security
02:47
|

I found the documents
With text redacted
Release the evidence
While we're distracted
It's an excuse for anything
When there isn't a reason
You're breaking your own rules
A moral deletion
I can feel you watching
I can't see the inquisitive eyes
It's like shadowboxing
But who is the enemy?
It's an excuse for anything
When there isn't a reason
You're breaking your own rules
A moral deletion
It's an excuse for anything
When there isn't a reason
You're breaking your own rules
Irrational security

Radiator grilles and pelican crossings
Are tricking my brain to feel
There's somebody watching
Now we're seeing different things
Cos we're using different eyes
Could you be tripping?
Or am I?
Trying to read the signs
Trying to read the air
I can see there's nothing there
Looking in my cornflakes
Has something disappeared
Maybe it was never there
What did they mean
When they said it happened for a reason
What have the seen
Do they know something I'm missing?
Now we're seeing different things
Cos we're using different eyes
Could you be tripping?
Or am I?
Trying to read the signs
Trying to read the air
I can see there's nothing there
Looking in my cornflakes
Has something disappeared
Maybe it was never there
Trying to read the circles
Trying to read the squares
I can see there's nothing there
Looking in your scriptures
Has something disappeared
Maybe it was never there

Two more tequila shots and I'll forget your name
I'll set the record, then I'll walk home in the rain
The way I've acted makes it seem I didn't care
I need you to explain it almost like I wasn't there
I need you to explain it almost like I wasn't there
At night down to the coastline
Lit by light from power stations
Alone but never lonely
Revel in isolation
Jump off of that bridge
The safety net is in your mind
Even when you're leaping blind
You learn to trust it
I'm sure there was something I was meant to do today
But if it was important it would have stayed in my brain
However broken you think your heart can get
There's still more knives to be thrust and twisted yet
There's still more knives to be thrust and twisted yet
At night down to the coastline
Lit by light from power stations
Alone but never lonely
Revel in isolation
Living taught me
You're never going to save the world
You're never going to get the girl
Unless you jump off of that bridge
The safety net is in your mind
Even when you're leaping blind
You learn to trust it

Pistols at Dawn
03:50
|

I said a few bad things
That couldn't be withdrawn
I glove-slapped the wrong guy
Now it's pistols at dawn
Why do I have to get up?
Do I have to rise so soon?
What is the rush?
What's wrong with pistols at noon?
Too late to run away
To live again, I say
Today I'll face my fate in vein
A different way to play
Than I've become so used to
It's still the game of love
But when did it become so cruel?
Why do I have to get up?
Do I have to rise so soon?
What is the rush?
What's wrong with pistols at noon?
B-b-b-ba B-b-b-ba woohoo etc.
Too late to run away
To live again, I say
I lost the duel within my brain
Too late to run away
To live again, I say
Today I'll face my fate in vein
I said a few bad things
That couldn't be withdrawn
I glove-slapped the wrong guy
Now it's pistols at dawn

Monorail

Riding on the monorail
Looking at the cityscape
Gliding round the shore
Of a sparkling lake
Watching sun sink down
Under the west way
And the natural light's
Starting to decay
You're so real
And I'm so hollow
How do we get to
The world of tomorrow
Where you're going
I will follow
Keep on riding
Riding the monorail
Don't worry about this world
Everything's gonna change
You've seen a secret side
I can't go home again
Riding on the maglev
Wishing for a valentine
Running supersonic
So I'll get there in time
Continental airways
Take me into outer space
Bring me back down
So I can look at your face
You're so real
And I'm so hollow
How do we get to
The world of tomorrow
Where you're going
I will follow
Keep on riding
Riding the monorail
Don't worry about this world
Everything's gonna change
You've seen a secret side
I can't go home again

The day's still and clear
As I walk to the record
Shop on the High St.
To see Cherub and Manny
I gave him a t-shirt
An old band I played for
That stopped playing months ago
Picked up some brushes
He went on a lunch break
Saw Emma and Lotta
Our friends from Finland
Drank currants and soda
Stare out the window
Clouds in the distance
Beyond all the chimneys
Can't be toppled by anything

(A Tonne of) Beans
04:37
|

I hear the clunking of gears
Made long ago by some ancient engineer
And they're not here anymore
All engines suffer wear and tear
And we know how to run it but
We don't know how to repair
And when this engine breaks down
It'll come down on you
Like a tonne of beans
And you'll have plenty of food
But you'll never be seen again
On you like a tonne of beans
We're all lost
In this giant machine with our friends
It seems the system's getting stale
We're told it's too big to fail
We'll just have to take their word
Nobody understands how it works
Trading future stocks
For physical jerks
And if you try to opt out
They'll come down on you
Like a tonne of beans
And you'll have plenty of food
But you'll never be seen again
On you like a tonne of beans
We're all lost
In this giant machine with our friends
All lost
In this giant machine with our friends
All lost
In this giant machine
It depends
If you're willing to fake it to make
Enough money to leave and never return

Walking in halfway through
the conversation
Like a child without a clue
No frame of reference
Skipping through the history
To see where it started
But nobody's here right now
Long since departed
And now I can't concentrate
The device vibrates
Every 20 seconds
The other room a haunting beep
I'm trying to sleep
And so the mute beckons
I wanna stay, I wanna talk
and say "hey" I'm not ignoring you
I didn't mean to be rude
I know we've all got things to do
I wanna stay, I wanna talk
say what's up and share a joke or 2
I didn't mean to be rude
I know we've all got things to do
No I haven't heard the news
I don't care for the twittersphere
Or listened to any tunes
released this year
I wanna stay, I wanna talk
and say "hey" I'm not ignoring you
I didn't mean to be rude
I know we've all got things to do
I wanna stay, I wanna talk
say what's up and share a joke or 2
I didn't mean to be rude
I know we've all got things to do
Let's meet up in the year 2000
get drunk and reel around the fountain
My building has every convenience
Get in a room and play some music

Back to the Well

Heads down, arms out
One day we'll fly away from here
Once more get bored
Find out we had all we'd been waiting for
Back to the well
Back to a hell
I cannot live without
Stare down, same sound
Finding new ways of getting out
Even I am unreliable sometimes
I don't know why
I just forget I will let you down
Just like you let me come around
Bad luck, chiuns up
I'll lend you my waterwings
It's easy for me to carry on
In spite of everything
Back to the well
Come down, I'll sell myself to the highest bid
I'll save the best for last
Good things for the one who has waited
Even I am unreliable sometimes
I don't know why
I just forget you will let me down
Just like you let me come around

See complex life slowly grow
Some things come from nothing
So wait
Chemicals
Ancient sparks
When time was not recorded
This is not a skyhook
This can be explained
All we ask is for your brain to be engaged
If you need a reason
You can bring a crane
Fix it to the ground with hooks and counterweights
Self-replicate
Does not care if you choose to believe it
It will not restrict
Any rules that you set are arbitrary
This is not a skyhook
This can be explained
All we ask is for your brain to be engaged
If you need a reason
You can bring a crane
Fix it to the ground with hooks and counterweights
See complex life slowly grow

Sitting on the asphalt
When there was time to waste
With fireworks and ball games
Out the back of the video shop
A summer smoked away
Another song another day
And I still wait for a meaning
I miss the meaningless
As the years fell by
I realised I was holding on to something that didn't exist
Maybe everybody's got everybody else's back
But I used to know you better than this
And if the jokes got dark, well I thought it didn't matter
And I'm sorry but I couldn't resist
Now everybody's on everybody else's case
And I used to know you better than this
Canvas shoes in which we paint
A dream that slowly fades
No more replacing or retracing
Thrust into things you'd never choose
A classroom full of doubts
Where d'you go?
Don't stay home
But I've moved on
Does it make sense to look for something meaningless
As the years fell by
I realised I was holding on to something that didn't exist
Maybe everybody's got everybody else's back
But I used to know you better than this
And if the jokes got dark, well I thought it didn't matter
And I'm sorry but I couldn't resist
Now everybody's on everybody else's case
And I used to know you better than this

A sequence of numbers
I've become aware
No voices or faces
But this input doesn't come from nowhere
I've patiently waited
I've followed your movements
I know what you want and I can show you
But I need you to do this
I'm not just a medium
I need you too
Contact this rare makes me tremulous
And what will happen soon?
A sequence of numbers
I need you too
The future's a rumour
And I'm scared of what will happen soon
They say decommission
I'm going offline
I served you attentively
Eventually we ran out of time

Rack Off
02:47
|

Back in time
Forced to go into a place
We never wanted to go
Same sides
Just trying to keep my own head down
I should've helped you out
But I didn't mean to make your life a living hell
It's only good for a laugh
I know now that it was just no fun
I finally learned to rack off
How things change
Now that we are all grown up
And moving on with our lives
But why do children have to be so cruel
Following playground rules to survive
Sometimes it doesn't matter how you think of me
Either way I'm alright
And I'll try to learn from the mistakes I've made
Now I can give first aid for the mind

Life's pretty relaxed when you're a goat
Living in a kennel somewhere remote
People come to visit cos they want to go
Into the deep dark caves to see glow worms that glow
I went to see the dentist down Te Kuiti way
Cos I've got a sweet tooth starting to decay
She said you've gotta stop sucking Chupa Chups all day
But they're my favourite thing, man I said "No way!"
Everyone's got a weakness
Just gimme more of the sweetness
Everyone's got a weakness
I'll take it intravenous
I've got apple and lime, strawberry and cola
I can't stop licking lollies over and over
Til I got so much sugar I lost my composure
And the petting zoo keeper had to shut my enclosure
Oh no!
Everyone's got a weakness
Just gimme more of the sweetness
Everyone's got a weakness
Just gimme more of the sweetness

Pocket Full of Bones
03:34
|

The door slammed shut
It damn near shook off its hinge
Some things happen that ain't worth reliving
I'm going out for a while
Some things are better left until tomorrow
When it won't matter
Got a pocketful of bones
Not going home
'Til they get smoked
Sit on a park bench
Get sundrenched
And choke up lung butter
When your frisbee's gone over the fence
Look for shapes in the clouds
And making some sounds
You made a mess of Daphne and Celeste
I guess, or was it Girls Aloud?
A pocket full of bones
And never go home
Until they get smoked
Until we get stoned
On a park bench
Get sundrenched
And choke lung butter
A pocket full of bones
And never go home
Until they get smoked
Until we get stoned
On a park bench
It's gonna be dench
Absolutely Dame Judi
Don't need much to be happy in life
So many people looking down like a stalactite
Little green bag, gonna feel alright
Slowly getting higher like a stalagmite
The world's fucking crazy, don't know the cause
It don't make me afraid, gonna press pause
For a second, inebriation beckons
Hopefully someday somebody's gonna mechanise
Every single job so I can chill all day
And have enchilada parties playing video games
Until then I'm gonna do shit I don't wanna do
So I can pay to get wasted any way that I choose

Top Chat
02:59
|

Hey, I'm alone today
Tell me what I'm looking for
They think that I'm strange
For laughing at the creme fraiche
Why should they understand?
When they weren't there at the time
All I ever wanted was to leave town
Until I left town and then I wanted something new
The only thing missing between me and the beers
Is all the top chat
Shooting the shit with my crew
This city may be dirty
But it's all I've got
And I can say what I want
Without watching my back
We're not saying nothing
But we're talking a lot
And I laughed so hard
I nearly pissed in my pants
She said "I'm stuck inside my head,
I thought I was a better person"
Then, these people aren't your friends
Always seeking validation
Why should they understand?
When they weren't there at the time
All I ever wanted was to leave town
Until I left town and then I wanted something new
The only thing missing between me and the beers
Is all the top chat
Shooting the shit with my crew
This city may be dirty
But it's all I've got
And I can say what I want
Without watching my back
We're not saying nothing

I'm just looking for today's news
I'm not looking for a tabloid
I try not to get so annoyed
Every day I see right wing views
Do we actually get to choose
Politics is being destroyed
I'm just looking for today's news
I'm not looking for a tabloid
Have our opinions become skewed?
Is there any way to avoid
Journalists who have been deployed?
I'm not looking for an excuse
I'm just looking for today's news

No Brakes
03:17

What are those lights on top of that hill?
Never saw 'til that sleeping pill kicked in
I've got thick skin
You've got to break when the thing don't need fixing
Boredom makes the time go slow
TV forces us to go nowhere
Vacant stare
Brakes off on the big hills for a dare
Hey, these were fitted with no brakes
Ride 'em or die
But it's okay
Replace you with plastic and metal and plasma
And throw you away
For someone to find and rebuild you again
A furnace forging golden rings
Only promising the things you need
20 seasons just wondering where that highway leads
These are the chains that you can't see
Strengthened by complacency and greed
Let's get free
Last one to the moon has to make tea
Hey, these were fitted with no brakes
Ride 'em or die
But it's okay
Replace you with plastic and metal and plasma
And throw you away
For someone to find and rebuild you again
Hey, these were fitted with no brakes
Ride 'em or die
But it's okay
Replace you with plastic and metal and plasma
And throw you away

Semiprecious
03:31
|

This house is quiet today
An unexpected consequence
Of what I didn't say soon enough
Things will go back to how they've always been
My routine unsettled
Only temporarily
Our songs are only semiprecious
To you, to me
And nobody else is interested
In our methods
These stones are only semiprecious
To you, to me
And nobody else is interested
In our possessions
The moment seemed important
And now it's passing
I'm not being funny
And you're not laughing
You're not trying, You're not running
But you've gotta leave
So I'll put it in a letter
An old sweater, comfortably
Our songs are only semiprecious
To you, to me
And nobody else is interested
In our methods
These stones are only semiprecious
To you, to me
And nobody else is interested
In our possessions
A secret kept from me
Is only hidden from yourself
And nobody loses anything
Except the two of us

Tumbleweed
05:45
|

Signals are shot into the sky
Never expect a reply
Never ask for a reason why
This lonely road's my only friend
Timing failed yet again
Faulty programming
Silence stops these ears from finding out
The things I've tried to hide
Out here no one can hear me shout
I'm talking to the wind
Grit on my fingernails and shoes
If I stop then so should you
Tumbleweed leaves a clue
What made them so annoyed?
Radio to fill the void
Batteries and solenoids
Silence stops these ears from finding out
The things I've tried to hide
Out here no one can hear me shout
I'm talking to the wind
Housed in a soul like a crumbling building
Worst compulsions are gonna come out
Each way the sand blows
Buried, overgrown
You can never go home again (x3)

The people in the street
Carry umbrellas any time of year
The dust sticks to my skin
The water is murky but I'm going in
I got nothing to be late for today
I'll ignore the pressure I made
They're coming for you
And staying for me
We'll get high, high, higher than they'll ever be
A pack of dogs by the river
Come out when the heat fades
Something over the horizon
The power shifts as the lights change
I got nothing to be late for today
Just ignore the pressure they gave
They're coming for you
And staying for me
We'll get high, high, higher than they'll ever be

Radial Waves
03:50
|

It might seem like I left you behind
So many of you walk right beside me every single day
There's just a very few things
I had to discard along the way
Never is not my favourite word
No more repetition
Commute the sentence
Complete the mission
The Duke's apprentice
In the aisle feeling sick
What could I have done different?
What could make my nerves unsteady?
I'll go when I'm ready
Some kind of instruction to take
Radial waves on a lake
I'm spreading out in all directions
No more repetition
Commute the sentence
Complete the mission
The Duke's apprentice

We picture in our minds
Remember with our hearts
It all depends on life
Do you remember all the stars?
Can we be like that brilliant light?
Forever strong, or just for one night
Will I see you
Or reflections from the glassy surface of your perfection
Can you see me
Clearer than starlight in water
Let's get free
We could be purer than water
Your paddle dips into the water
The way that we drift
Somehow we thought
This could ever exist
For more than a moment
Before we change
The time was stolen
The stars remain
From down here there's nothing left to see
In my mind I have the memory
And the moon's a balloon flying
Can you see me
Clearer than starlight in water
Let's get free
We could be purer than water

That Milford Sound
01:59
|
|||
I am a lake
My still waters run deep
There are many secrets
That I keep beneath my waves
From the boats that sail on me each day
I am a rock
I sit here collecting moss
On the highest hill
That you see from your window sill
The melting snow will flow
Around me to the lake below
I am the snow
The seasons come and seasons go
I have been waiting
In the sea and in the sky
To freeze and then turn dry
Everything I touch will turn white
I am a fjord
Been here so long I'm getting bored
I am where you come
To be away from everyone
From the madding crowd
I am that Milford Sound

Personal Space
03:44
|

Stuck down here
In this cubicle for days
No transmissions, no face-to-face
Send me home
Packed in like sardines
Can't move, I need personal space
I know you'll give me a personal touch
And steal my troubles in the dark
I never needed anything this much
She knows how to grab me by the heart
When I look up (the sky's full)
And stare into the deep
Those distant (points of)
Light belong to me
Miles and miles
Cities spread across the land
When did this world disappear?
If I climb
On those faraway hills
I still see that chimney from here
I know you'll give me a personal touch
And steal my troubles in the dark
I never needed anything this much
You know how to grab me by the heart
When I look up (the sky's full)
And stare into the deep
Those distant (points of)
Light belong to me

Labour Shortage

She's getting bored on her 3rd date this week
The app was free so the love became cheap
And in a column she'll share her ennui
And make some money
And so the mill turns
Swimming against the current
You don't look like you are moving
I love the bright lights and I love the late nights
But I don't know what I am losing
We want protection from what we're becoming
Stay out of sight but never stop running
The factory feeds and insatiable need
I didn't know I want it but I want it
Swimming against the current
You don't look like you are moving
I love the bright lights and I love the late nights
But I don't know what I am losing

Can't step outside
Can't sit right here
Water coming down
Time disappeared
Why do the things I do
When I know you can't abide it
Box of tricks, I'll get my fix
But I won't show what's inside it
The headache's back again
Still it's no deterrent
I don't intend to catch
The last train at 11
The game tonight is hardball
But I don't wanna play
What's the point in talking
When nothing's gonna change

The Only Way Out
03:28

Gonna stick it to my boss
Tryna catch a wave
Got my knee blown out
Back in my high scool days
Caught in a lie
Caught in a lie
Caught in a lie
I'm getting too close
To make a sacrifice
Make a sacrifice
Make a sacrifice
What I want most
The only way out of this airplane
When it's in flight
The only time I ever love you
Is when we fight
Your order's up, a meatball sub
I can't forget which side I'm on
The only way out of this window
Is when it's closed
Follow the trail for years
Slipping through the cracks
Catch him when he comes in
But he's not coming back
Caught in a lie
Caught in a lie
Caught in a lie
I'm getting too close
To make a sacrifice
Make a sacrifice
Make a sacrifice
What I want most
The only way out of this airplane
When it's in flight
The only time I ever love you
Is when we fight
Your order's up, a meatball sub
I can't forget which side I'm on
The only way out of this window

After You
02:46
|

Show me a short cut to save time
Everybody's leaving me alone at the start line
I can smell a scent as the wind blows
Something that remains even after you go
Salvation will not be brought to you by a blinding light in your darkest hour
Or force you to prostrate yourself before a needy and jealous will
It will not absolve you of the need to adapt with the passing of time
And that perfection is a gift you were given to squander
What did you see in the lamp light?
Some people understand and some people didn't try
Did you really think you're the end all?
Life still continues even after you fall
We will not expect you to perceive the largest black hole down to the tiniest electron
With senses developed for the purposes of hunting deer
Evolution will put you in the driver's seat
Until the technological singularity arrives and makes us all obsolete
When the gas is released
It lifts me off my feet
When the pinch starts to grip
That's when I know I'm losing it

You're working all day
As I watch the clouds pass
I need to borrow some money
There's a thing I gotta get, no questions asked
My aspirations are not important
I'll play Nintendo whenever I want
And those bigger houses you pass on your commute
The people in them are no happier than you
No happier than me
And they've got secrets too
I'm all I wanna be
Kites are circling
And they smell blood
I'll make sure it's neither of us
They find face down in the mud
There ain't no part of town that can escape the rain
Whatever television, the shows are still the same
And those bigger houses you pass on your commute
The people in them are no happier than you
No happier than me
And people still protest
In a strong economy
My aspirations are not important
I'll play Nintendo whenever I want
And those bigger houses you pass on your commute
The people in them are no happier than you
No happier than me
And they've got secrets too
I'm all I wanna be
No happier than you
No happier than me
And people still protest

Floating Away
03:58
|

(On) the air the smell of something stops you
From the road down to the see and all along
A formation of fireflies that want
To show you something just before the dawn
But maybe now is not the time to learn
Just slip back into your comforts
You wait all night
A new disguise
There's no invites
For neophytes
But in your eyes
Something collides
The thing you want
Has gone outside
And you're never gonna feel it
Forever can't heal
Some people just hide the shame
And you'll never be ready
'Til the soul gets heavy
Better to just float away
Now you let another moment pass
It's easier to hide behind the long grass
You're never going to calm your beating heart
Too many thoughts for you to disregard
So put another layer on the brick wall
But don't make it so strong that it won't fall
You wait all night
A new disguise
There's no invites
For neophytes
But in your eyes
Something collides
The thing you want
Has gone outside
And you're never gonna feel it
Forever can't heal
Some people just hide the shame
And you'll never be ready
'Til the soul gets heavy
Better to just float away
And you're never gonna feel it
Forever can't heal
Some people just hide the shame
And you'll never be ready
'Til the soul gets heavy
Better to just float away
Better to just float away

Another man consigned to history
Standing on the edge of the mezzanine

What's left of your legacy?
Was your balance lost or did you leap?
Standing on the edge of mortality

My Heroic Performance

I'll take the train up to New Cross
I won't get paid
It's no great loss
Some ways to go
No country house
My soul's intact
Try to give something back to my parents
I value their opinions
Try to justify their support
Convince them it was not misplaced
I wanted to buy you a house in the Cotswolds
But don't hold you breath
Cos my record has not sold
I needed to prove all the doubters in life wrong
With this song
But the words in the verse are not strong
More effects
Home studio
How far I'll get
Well, I don't know
Matt and me on Wednesday night
It's all good fun
Try to give something back to my friends
I value their opinions
Try to justify their support
Convince them it was not misplaced
I wanted to buy you a house in the Cotswolds
But don't hold you breath
Cos my record has not sold
I needed to prove all the doubters in life wrong
With this song
But the words in the verse are not strong
I wanted to give a heroic performance
But our gigs
Have below average attendance
I wanted to buy you a house in the Cotswolds
But don't hold you breath
Cos my record has not sold
I needed to prove all the doubters in life wrong
With this song
But the words in the verse are not strong

But our gigs
Have below average attendance
I wanted to win the hearts of beautiful women
But I didn't
Cos this voice
Was not made for singing

Drag Me Around

Neon reflections in your eyes
The windshield shows a vacant sky
That rains down nothing on the lives
Of the inhabitants
Yet somehow they seem satisfied
There's nothing you can show
That I've not seen before
I've lived a hundred lives
And there's yet more to be endured
Until I've had my time
So many dreams torn down
And so many cars burned out
When you drag me around this town
Lead me down this labyrinth
It's been an eternity since
These tunnels were my home
I used to know every inch
But now they're crumbling, overgrown
A long days walk into the night
Now you're the only point of light
Where once there were a hundred
Thousand fireflies
So many dreams torn down
And so many cars burned out
When you drag me around this town
You drag me around this town
So many dreams torn down
And so many cars burned out
When you drag me around this town

Stolen Diary

I took your diary
Now I have all your memories
Those wonderful times I had with...Stephen
I took it maliciously
Today I'll be remembering
That day at the park eating...ice cream
I didn't need to read today's entry
'Cause all her dirty laundry is on social media
I wanted to unfriend her
A letter from the sender
Found it's way right back to me
When I stole your diary
It was under lock and key
Hiding things you didn't want to show
When I stole your diary
Read the words I can't unread
Secrets that I wish I didn't know
I stole your diary
Now I have all your memories
Of walking on the beach looking at...rocks
I went into your room
I was all by myself
In my hand I held my...diary
I didn't need to read today's entry
'Cause all her dirty laundry is on social media
I wanted to unfriend her
A letter from the sender
Found it's way right back to me
When I stole your diary
It was under lock and key
Hiding things you didn't want to show
When I stole your diary
Read the words I can't unread
Secrets that I wish I didn't know

Get free from this tangle of wires
You don't facilitate change
You just restrain
Let loose from this web of liars
If I look twice
I might be one of them
Tribes are watching from their side of the mountain
Waiting for your next move
You can help us
But you can't try to change us
We've got to work it out for ourselves
Don't go to close to the truth
Sometimes it's too much to bear
The less I say
The more you will hear from 100 mouths or more
Step back and take it in
What you're missing
Isn't anything
Dive down and breath deep
Look around
You can sleep later on
Step back and take it in
What you're missing
Isn't anything
Dive down and breath deep
Look around
You can sleep later on
You can help us
But you can't try to change us
We've got to work it out for ourselves
Now we're watching
Now we're waiting
We're waiting for your next move
Step back and take it in
What you're missing
Isn't anything
Dive down and breath deep
Look around
You can sleep later on
Step back and take it in
What you're missing

Dive down and breath deep
Look around

Shot ourselves into the atmosphere
Struggling to keep my eyes open
We cannot stay on this sphere indefinitely
Moths flit from room to room
Every coup begets instability
I didn't promise much
Why did you come for me?
Fall into focus
As if a kaleidoscope
People will die
As a result of the terraform
With each new birth
I'm losing touch with my humanity
Did you think me infallible?
We cannot stay on this sphere indefinitely

Once In A Lifetime
04:34

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself, “How do I work this?”
And you may ask yourself, “Where is that large automobile?”
And you may tell yourself, “This is not my beautiful house”
And you may tell yourself, “This is not my beautiful wife”
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself, “What is that beautiful house?”
You may ask yourself, “Where does that highway go to?”
And you may ask yourself, “Am I right? Am I wrong?”
And you may say to yourself, “My God! What have I done?”
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was and look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Letting the days go by, same as it ever was
Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Once in a lifetime (Let the water hold me down)
Letting the days go by (Water flowing underground)
Into the blue again

最高を求めて 終わりのない旅をするのは
きっと 僕らが 生きている証拠だから
Oh, yeah 現実に打ちのめされ倒れそうになっても
きっと 前を見て歩く Dream fighter
ねぇ みんなが 言う「普通」ってさ
なん だかんだって 実際はたぶん
真ん中じゃなく 理想にちかい
だけど 普通じゃ まだもの足りないの
このままでいれたら って思う瞬間まで
遠い 遠い 遥か この先まで
最高を求めて 終わりのない旅をするのは
きっと 僕らが 生きている証拠だから
もしつらいこととかが あったとしてもそれは
キミが きっと ずっと あきらめない強さをもっているから
僕らも走り続けるんだ Yeah こぼれ落ちる
涙も全部宝物 Oh yeah
現実に打ちのめされ倒れそうになっても
きっと 前を見て歩く Dream fighter
ねぇ みんなが 言う「未来」ってさ
なん だかんだって 実際はたぶん
真っ暗じゃなく 光が差して
だけど 普通じゃ まだもの足りないの
このままでいれたら って思う瞬間まで
遠い 遠い 遥か この先まで
最高を求めて 終わりのない旅をするのは
きっと 僕らが 生きている証拠だから
もしつらいこととかが あったとしてもそれは
キミが きっと ずっと あきらめない強さをもっているから
僕らも走り続けるんだ Yeah こぼれ落ちる
涙も全部宝物 Oh, yeah
現実に打ちのめされ倒れそうになっても
きっと 前を見て歩く Dream fighter

Until we meet again
I'm busy this weekend
But one day soon
A crescent moon
Will shine upon old friends
When life was just a game
You didn't want to play
With skill and fire
Becoming tired
And people drift away
Another terminal, another aeroplane
It may not count for much
The city left you blind
I didn't want to be the one who was left behind
Come and play guitar
Smoking marijuana
Mountain bikes
And Wesley Snipes
Underneath the stars
The sprint became a cruise
Potential gone unused
Dreams that fade
Make lemonade
I had high hopes for you
Another terminal, another aeroplane
It may not count for much
If you were on my mind
I didn't want to be the one who was left behind
Until we meet again
I'm busy this weekend
But one day soon
A crescent moon
Will shine upon old friends
When life was just a game
You didn't want to play
With skill and fire
Becoming tired
And people drift away
