How could it be
I never knew you?
You’re happy with green
You’re happy with blue…
How does it taste
Like Love Hearts must do?
You never left me
I never left you…
How does it feel
Where green grasses grew?
You never met me
I never met you…

Lioness
What’s the secret to success?
You’re the sad one I depress
Don’t love me, I’m a mess
You make me
Lioness
Yes
I digress
Dead end unconsciousness
You fit me, I confess
I’ve thoughts that I suppress
You know this
Lioness
Guess?

Spill
02:41

|
Rat, tat
She likes it like that
Black cat
She scratch me like that
Tit, tat
She says it like that
Black hat
I’m looking like that
I spill a little
When I go out to sea…
Mismatch
She suits me like that
Splish, splash
Don’t do me like that

Boxing Duke
01:42
|

|
When I box Duke
I hear songs that sound so cute
When I box Duke
He’ll throw me down the laundry shoot
When I box Duke
Headlining The Institute
When I box Duke
In this world off ill repute
Do you wanna go faster?
Do you wanna go faster?
Do you wanna go faster
In our love dispute?
When I box Duke
The fuzzy tree is bearing fruit
When I box Duke
He’ll throw me down the garbage shoot
When I box Duke
Turning up what once was mute
When I box Duke
Planting weeds which all take root
Do you wanna go faster?
Do you wanna go faster?
Do you wanna go faster
In our losing-love dispute?
I hear songs that sound so cute
Fuzzy tree is bearing fruit
Only when I’m boxing Duke

Speed Dive
04:27
|
|||
|
Six set sail and they’re still alive
Saw myself from the other side
Speed dive
Speed dive
Kicked your feet where you hung around
Who’s the big bad wolf in your little town?
Speed dive
Speed dive
I said they’re in prison
They said I’m insane
Taxi took me back down memory lane
Oh, you travelled with me
A different man
A different name
Oh, you battled with me
I’m a little bit lost
A lot the same
Five lives left if I last that long
Said a little prayer, but I heard it wrong
Speed dive
Speed dive
Missing words from the sacred text
They’re up now and you’re down next
Speed dive
Speed dive
They said I’m in prison
I said they’re insane
Come and get me lost down memory lane
My mind’s made up that I’m still not sure
And I’m so much worse than I was before
Wish I disagreed with me again
Oh, you travel by me
A different time
A different game
Oh, you battle for me
I’m a little bit lost
A lot the same
Oh, you matter to me
A different man
A different name
Oh, you matter to me
I’m a little bit lost
A lot the same…

Spots

Yeah-eah
Yeah-eah-eah…
You got spots
I got spots
You got spots again
You got spots
I got spots
Let’s rip ‘em off and start again
Let’s rip ‘em off and start again
Rip ‘em off and start again
Let’s rip ‘em off and start again
Rip ‘em off and start again
You got spots
And I got spots
You got spots again
You got spots
And I got spots
We’ll rip ‘em off and start again
We’ll rip ‘em off and start again
Rip ‘em off and start again
We’ll rip ‘em off and start again
Rip ‘em off and start again
In front of an audience of men
They came and went to town again
In front of an audience of men
Woke up, went back to sleep again
You got spots
And I got spots
We got spots again
I got spots
And you got spots
Let’s rip ‘em off and start again
Let’s rip ‘em off and start again
Let’s rip ‘em off and start again
Let’s rip ‘em off and start again
Rip ‘em off and start again
You could use a bit ‘o wild honey
You could use a little wild honey…

Scuffs
02:19
|
|||

There’s scuffs on the scratches
The holes are torn
The heating’s cold
And the fridge is warm
I don’t look like
A football fan
I don’t feel like
A superman…

We made it
Bit weak
Bit down
The truth gets in our eyes
We find
Miseducation of our minds
I made it
Bit lost
Bit down
The taste gets in my eyes
I find
Mismotivation of my mind
Cross examining the crime
You made it
Bit mad
Bit down
The sight gets in your eyes
You find
Their medication in your mind
Cross examining the crime
Keeping sleeping all the time

Catching Fire
02:12
|

|
We like catching
Fire
Next door neighbour
Liar
Who’s that person?
Hi ya
How’s she flying?
Wire…
Singing danger
So exciting
Love that loser
You been fighting
Who’s the stranger
You’re inviting?
Word of warning
Don’t be biting…
We like catching
Fire
Got a next door neighbour
She’s a liar
You’ll meet in person
Don’t say hi ya
Downhill from here
How’s your tyre?…

As Above And So Below
03:13
|
|||
|
You make the angels sing
So in touch with everything
You make insects beat their tiny wings
You make the angels sing
Everybody that you know
Stops to say hello
How do blackbirds know which way to go?
Everybody that you know
You make the angels sing
So in tune with everything
You make beetles beat their tiny wings
You make the angels sing
As above and so below
Everybody that you know
In the sunshine, wind and rain and snow
As above and so below
You make the angels sing
So in love with everything
You make sparrows beat their tiny wings
You make the angels sing

Haiku
02:34
|
|||
|
I’m alive in a dead zoo
Ask me what would a man do
Be surprised if you want to
Put it down in a haiku
And I don’t wanna see you
And I don’t wanna touch you
And I don’t wanna miss you
But you know that I do
I’m alive in a dead zoo
Ask me what would my friend do
So ashamed that I want to
Write it up in a haiku
And I don’t wanna see you
And I don’t wanna touch you
And I don’t wanna miss you
But I know that I do
I’m alive in a dead zoo
Ask me what would your man do
Fucking girls fucking want to
Spell it out in a haiku
And I don’t wanna see you
And I don’t wanna touch you
And I don’t wanna miss you
But we know that I do

Killing Floor
06:51
|
|||
|
If I knew
What to do about you…
Your life
On the killing floor
In the swinging door
Your life
In the dirty war
At the rotten core
Wish I knew
What to do about you…
My life
In the backwards law
In the reddest raw
My life
On the endless tour
Where we were before

Slow Vinyl
04:05
|
|||
|
Slow vinyl
And clicks and clicks and clicks
You don’t like it any more
Black vinyl
And mix and mix and mix
You don’t see that any more
Strong vinyl
And bricks and bricks and bricks
You don’t live here any more
Pink vinyl
And flicks and flicks and flicks
You don’t want to any more
Scratched vinyl
And sticks and sticks and sticks
You don’t hear it any more
Broke vinyl
And fix and fix and fix
You don’t help me any more
Sweet vinyl
And licks and licks and licks
You don’t feel it any more
Floor vinyl
And kicks and kicks and kicks
You don’t miss this any more

Put It On Me
02:18
|
|||
|
Put it on me
What’s one more mark?
One more weight to be weighed?
Put it on me
Just one black tooth
One more mess to be made
Never knew this
Could be like this
Never knew love like blood
Never knew this
Would be like this
Never knew love like blood
Put it on me…

Molecules
03:23
|
|||
|
I don’t go to school
My body’s made of molecules
You rattle my core
Sun I’ve never seen before
We go riding round
I’m on display in Rugby town
Little peace in bed
Donate mine to you instead
This one star is watching me…
Took the worst one home
Her body’s made of honeycomb
They’ll warm to me yet
If I try, I can’t forget
Her arms have got my bones
Greatest gift I’ve ever known
Made it mine to keep
We wrote it in our half-sleep
You turn up like sound
In this world of hand-me-downs
I have walked this floor
Sun I’ve somehow seen before
Once I would, now will
On the brow of Stockton Hill
Overflowing cup
In a cafe of bad luck

Hummingbirds
02:44
|
|||
|
I lost half my clothes
Moths made all the holes
Know you feel it the same
When the dragonflies came
Starving at this feast
With the guest I like the least
In the rock ’n’ roll whirl
With the marshmallow girl
Wild flowers grow
In the saddest place I know
And they whisper your name
In the red Russian rain
Hit me first and last
River’s rushing past
And there was no blame
When the wild deer came
Emerald and green
Her hazel eyes have seen
And a wedding bell kiss
Can cut me like this
Barefoot kids on grass
Aching hurt will pass
And it stuck in my brain
When the hummingbirds came

Magnetically Excited
02:12
|
|||
|
If ya sell me one
It’ll come undone
If ya shoot their gun
Gonna make me run
If ya show them some
Well, I won’t get none
If they’re playing dumb
We can fake some fun
Magnetically excited…
Aesthetically
Phonetically
Electrically
Pathetically
You know what to do with me
You know what to do with me
You know what to do with me
So that I become…

Albany's Law
05:12
|
|||
|
Love never came out your mouth
’Til trash went and walked in your door
And I see it in
See it in
See it in
See it in
See it in Albany’s law
Kid went and cut you in two…

What Happiness Wants
02:37
|
|||
|
I got to carry you over
I got to pull you up
Walked on the earth forever
Waiting for someone good
Last stop to carry you over
Last call to pull you up
You fell awake forever
Noisy with no one good
You know what you want
And what happiness wants
What you want
And what happiness wants
I know what you want, you want
And what happiness wants
What you want
And what happiness wants
I got to talk it all over
I got to pull me up
Walking the earth forever
I found me someone good
