L Is For You
02:13

I’d run outta time for you
I’d get outta line for you
You’re ten outta ten
And you’ll hit it again
Just gimme a sign
I’m staying up late for you
I’m saving the date for you
A different world
With a militant girl
Just gimme a sign
Gimme a sign
I knew that I might for you
I left all the right for you
I’m counting your teeth
When you saw off the thief
Just gimme a sign
Gimme a sign…

Never Saw
01:40
|
|||
|
Never saw eight
Never saw nine
I’m so late
Said that’s fine
You can’t wait
All the time
I’m your mate
And you’re mine

Petal Pushing
02:03
|

|
Petal pushing the bad vibes notebook
The offbeat happiness clash
Measured sharp in the midweek lords
With the freaky culture of none
Some rain totem in shaky Britain
The motley hidden reverse
Lonely fallen apartment ritual
The rest is Hell in the dark
Naked doomed in the damage flesh
Paranoid and digging the stone
Rip off flashback of archived nightmares
Immoral human flesh now
Rolling gear and toil and horror
And happy living and I
Upstart apathy circles animals
Closer trouble the witch
Oh, I’m covered in grease
They’re waving a flag
Wait ’til your dad gets home
And oh, I’m not very well
I’ve hidden the key
Sad ’til the cows come home
And oh, the purple and pink
The doubling star
Wait ’til I get you home
And oh, we met at the end
I saw her again
I heard that her house came home

About Your Head

It’s about your head, Frankie
It’s about your head, Jackie
It’s about your head, Sandy
It’s about your head, Andi
It’s about your head, Dani
It’s about your head, Billie
It’s about your head, Mickie
It’s about your head
I’ve been stuck in here before
I’ve been stuck in here before
I’ve been stuck in here before
I’m stuck in here now
It’s about your head, Chrissy
It’s about your head, Bobbie
It’s about your head, Tracy
It’s about your head, Stacy
It’s about your head, Joey
It’s about your head, Toni
It’s about your head, Riley
It’s about your head, Harry
It’s about your head…

Coco Thin
Smash the fucking windows in
Yo Yo Skin
Crash the fucking Caddy in

Bash the fucking bottles in
Loco Spin
Push the fucking lady in
Hobo Twin
Let the fucking baby in

Make Me
03:47
|
|||
|
You are yet to save yourself
And I hope that you might make me…
You are yet to show yourself
And I hope that you might show me…
Moon girl in an underwater world…
You are yet to help yourself
And I hope that you might make me…
You are yet to shake yourself
And I hope that you might shake me…

Unlucky As
02:21
|
|||
|
As untimely as a terrorist attack
As unsightly as a baby dressed in black
As unhappy as a beetle on her back
As unhappy as a beetle on her back
As unhelpful as a senator on smack
As unlikely as a liar with the sack
As ironic as a caretaker on crack
As unhappy as a beetle on her back
Oh, man, look at the mess on me
Oh, mate, look at the state of me
Oh, girl, look at the holes in me
Oh, babe, look at the death in me
As unlucky as a limping jumping jack
Ununhealthy as a hypochondriac
As unhappy as a beetle on her back
As unhappy as a beetle on her back

Girl Called Crying
03:10
|
|||
|
I’m in love with a word
I’m in love with a word for crying
Oh, but haven’t you heard?
I’m in love with a word for crying
I’m in love with a name
I’m in love with a name for flying
You’ll be happy you came
I’m in love with a name for flying
For self-denying you
I’m in love with a girl
I’m in love with a girl called crying
Sister, sad ain’t the word
I’m in love with a girl called crying
Still life-defying
I’m underlining you

Two New Shoes
01:26
|
|||
|
And the kitchen clock’s got one hand
And two new shoes in quicksand
And it’s blowing up in my face
And it’s blowing up in my face…

Scattershot

Scattershot
And signet rings
And oh, no, man
You make me nervous
Scattershot
And signet rings
Oh, no, man
You make me nervous

Mind A Man
01:52
|
|||
|
If you don’t mind a man
Who’ll crack in the sun
If you don’t mind a man
Been jumping the gun
If you don’t mind a man
Who’s spotlessly clean
If you don’t mind a man
So seldomly seen
If you don’t mind a man
Who took it all back
If you don’t mind a man
Who melted to black
If you don’t mind a man
Who stumbled to bed
If you don’t mind a man
Uneasily led

Like Mine
01:20
|
|||
|
Your ears are like mine
Only hear what they don’t want
Your eyes are like mine
Only see what they don’t want
Your legs are like mine
Only chase what they don’t want
Your heart is like mine
Only miss what it don’t want
Your hands are like mine
Only keep what they don’t want

Lies On
03:19
|
|||
|
I coulda given you
All of my heart
In convincing blue
Death do us part
And I’m feeling you
Life living art
Not expecting to
Put your lies on, baby
With your eyes all crazy
Put your lies on, baby
With your head all hazy
Wear your lies now, baby
With your head all hazy
Wear your lies now, baby
With your eyes all crazy
Put your lies on, baby
With your eyes all crazy
Get your lies on, baby
With your head all hazy

About This Girl
03:20

|
They’re throwing rocks
Around this girl
They’re running rings
Around this girl
They’re flashing red
Around this girl
They’re making sense
Around this girl
I fell in down
I think so not
I like that this
I was there here
They’re painting lines
Around this girl
They’re drawing straws
Around this girl
They’re making waves
Around this girl
They’re pulling strings
Around this girl
I fell asleep
About this girl
I grew up wrong
About this girl
I went to work
About this girl
I came back here
About this girl
