Something Wrong With Something 02:03
lyrics

Stop! It’s like Mary Stop! It’s like Mary Jane Stop! It’s like Mary I’m sleeping in the rain I’m tangled in the chain I’m answerable To something in my brain I’m sleeping in the rain I’m tangled in the chain U-turned down haters lane The same old new again Please meet me in my pain The shrinks have gone insane There’s something wrong With something in my brain

No Fast Cargo 02:22
lyrics
buy track
I’m not where I would be Monday, Monday Not nice naturally Monday, Monday Backstreet baby to go Household damage to go Black sheep let-down to go No fast cargo to go Never made me clever With the books that you were willing to read Never get to Heaven With the life that you were willing to lead I’m not what I could be Tuesday, Tuesday Bad blood burning in me Tuesday, Tuesday

Catch You Can 01:41
lyrics

Back in your old neighbourhood Birthday cake tastes like blood Paint your plastic doll to look like me Dress it up in voodoo imagery Lost in Hundred Acre Wood Moral compass in the mud Sail your sinking ship to conquer me Everything you’re eating tastes like sea Catch you can Catch you can All your daddy issues do agree Every time you’re slightly killing me

Remnants, remnants Girls like that are quite contrary Remnants, remnants Guys like that are ten-a-penny You might say it’s hard to tell I might say it’s just as well That they are… Remnants, remnants You are quite extraordinary Remnants, remnants Not one single star - I counted many You might say it’s just as well I might say it’s hard to tell If we are remnants

Who Are The Losers? 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Lunch in a café of clocks Waltzing and I wanna get off Go to bed for hours and hours Lying in your plastic flowers Place where we used to meet Down on Mount Unpleasant Street Praying to the Christmas tree Hope he don’t look like me Who are the losers?… Lunch in a café of clocks Too quick to tell me where to get off Faking it for hours and hours Smelling like your plastic flowers Place where we used to meet Sophie on Charlotte Street Praying to the Christmas tree Hope he don’t feel like me

Picking Holes In God 02:39
lyrics
buy track
You and me at a wishing well Told our secrets that we mustn’t tell When it gets too hot for your white skin On your pale arms, where the bees sting You and me dropping bombs in Hell Told us secrets that we mustn’t tell When it gets too hot for your white skin On your pale legs, where the bees sting You and me heard a wedding bell Made me lie in the place I fell When it gets too hot for your white skin On your pale hands, where the bees sting You and me picking holes in God Got a yes, got an almost-nod When it gets too hot for your white skin On your pale neck, where the bees sting

The Day That Never Came 02:01
lyrics
buy track
You’ll be the red around my eyes And the bits I couldn’t change Baby said it’s strange Can’t see - the windows were all black Like the day that never came To Watercolour Lane I’ve been lost the longest time Like the tablets miss the pain Tarzan pines for Jane I’ll be the yellow in your eyes All the bits you couldn’t change Record Tape Exchange Now I know where your dark angels go Well, we can have some fun Set your heart to stun One girl, worth a million more And the tingle of your name Down Watercolour Lane We’ll be the sparkle in our eyes Ever since it went away Welcome every day

Open Your Heart 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Too much of a boy for you You wanted a man Boss of the big wheel Runs this scam I gave up the ground for you The moment I ran I wasn’t much You were my plan You saw the writing on the wall They never noticed you at all The bed of nails broke your fall But, baby, you shall go to the ball Open your heart It’s killing you Open your heart It’s tripping you Open your heart It’s cheating you Open your heart It’s missing you Too much of a boy for you You needed a man Cog in a big wheel’s All I am I gave up my life for you Bad company I ran I was too much This weren’t your plan Open your heart It’s hating you Open your heart It’s trapping you Open your heart It’s trusting you Open your heart It’s losing you

Happiness Gun 01:17

If you do it, it’s done Save me from fun With a happiness gun If you tread where’s there’s none Wars can be won With a happiness gun When they’ve frozen the sun Mugging a nun With a happiness gun If your heart weighs a ton Set it to stun With a happiness gun There’s an army, easy target girl Sitting duck Open goal Ten toes to curl Tiny pause for the bags of poisoned room Little gap Baby hole Guy who’s gone too soon

Adriana Thing 02:37
lyrics
buy track
I don’t mind Dance with the big decision all the time Hey, that’s fine Cry as your morning sky fades into mine Call me mean Still stuck on that seasick shade of green What you mean When you dance with the big decision Shoot with the loose precision Lie with the long division On the line? I don’t mind Dance with the bad decision every time Hey, that’s fine Laugh like the midday sun might burn me blind What to do? Sinking in that sea-deep shade of blue I know you Some kinda Adriana Some kinda Adriana Some kinda Adriana Thing to do

Everything Is Anything You Want 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Speak softly with your arms around you To anyone you want Wish on all the stars above you For everyone you want Tread softly with your wits about you We will hold you up Go easy on the less-enlightened We will give them up… Speak kindly of them in their absence Make yourself look good Heavy when it’s on your conscience Lighter when you know you could Breathe easy with them all around you And they will have what they want Sorry what you saw so sadly Everything is anything you want…
