Out At Sea 04:34
It's 3am and I'm woken Dad carries me to the window So much said unspoken Like colours in the calico In the currents each day The pigments wash away Raging river of mine Draining time to the sea Flush me down to the wide wide water line Tepid memory It's 3am and I'm woken There's a stillness on the ships bow Like dust upon a petal We're moments from forever now Ship wreck in disguise Taking one more stand against the tides Raging river of mine Draining time to the sea Flush me down to the wide wide water line Tepid memory Raging river of mine Draining time to the sea Flush me down to the wide wide water line Tepid memory Wild wild sea Forever surrounding me Wild wild sea Forever surrounding me Wild wild sea Forever surrounding me Wild wild sea Forever surrounding me

I remember Pulling aside Such a thin veneer There's so much it hides I remember Tip toes at the bar just to order a jar My instincts were so sure Then I started drinking I grin when I know I can't win I grin when I know I can't win Another day Another day Take me away Well before the morning Same old crowd in the union All these people are pretending So more fool them So more fool them I remember Falling asleep And when the flowers turned to thorns The dystopia complete I remember Catastrophizing With my black and white thinking Then I started drinking I grin when I know I can't win I grin when I know I can't win Another day Another day Take me away Well before the morning Same old crowd in the union All these people are pretending So more fool them So more fool them So fool them So fool them So fool them So fool them

Compartments 04:55
I don't care what they say Business runs this town We only work for the money Got no love for the things we do Meanwhile I'm just an animal Moving along Moving along the final rubicon When the crew sings Their chorus in the moorings Slip away working day Gone for a while for a while for a while Echoes the impermanence I'm tuning up for the money And then I'm back to my compartments Meanwhile I'm just an animal Moving along Moving along its natural rubicon Everything that I bring To the table Takes its toll on everything What can little old me do Don't take that attitude too Everything that I bring To the table Takes its toll on everything I feel it near I feel it here Breathing in Slowly closing in

Smithereens 03:42
Get on with it You've got me in your bag Run rabbit run rabbit Feelings You've got me in your bag Run rabbit run rabbit Feeling like this Smithereens And crumbs for the sparrows You've got me You've got me in your Pocket Crumbs for the sparrow Get on with it There's no cure for it Run rabbit run rabbit Feeling like this Smithereens And crumbs for the sparrows You've got me You've got me in your Pocket Crumbs for the sparrow

Oh last night was no surprise To you or me But the rest would never have guessed Apparently we are all in this together Ain’t that what David said Yeah we could see it in his eyes We don't know what happened We don't know what you're talking about Is that what you accuse us of You better charge us or let us out We don't know We don't know what happened we don't know what you're talking about Is that what Is that what you accuse us of Charge us or let us out Oh last night we tore it up No post code beef Yeah we put hackney on the map By smashing it up Yeah It was fail to the police Yeah it was hail to the thief It was 85 and 95 all rolled up We don't know what happened We don't know what you're talking about Is that what you accuse us of You better charge us or let us out We don't know We don't know what happened We don't know what you're talking about Is that what Is that what you accuse us of Charge us or let us out

What a way to spend a year Without you the moon’s been waining I couldn't see a thing Tripped in the dark And I couldn't stop the bleeding It feels like a lifetime This epoch of isolation Nothing stays the same Waxing lyrical Dreamy animal in realization But I will wake up quiet soon And I will be there And I will be there again We’ve got each other still One’s moving if the other's still All the sleeping that the sunlight kills for the Morning coffee on the windowsill Cracks are growing Through the marble The grass is growing Through the fibre Time pulls at my sleeve We’ve got each other still One’s moving if the others still All the sleeping that the sunlight kills for the Morning coffee on the windowsill Through the fibre Time pulls me over And I will wake up quite soon And I will be there And I will be there again We’ve got each other still One’s moving if the other's still All the sleeping that the sunlight kills for the Morning coffee on the windowsill We’ve got each other still One’s moving if the others still All the sleeping that the sunlight kills for the Morning coffee on the windowsill For the morning coffee on the windowsill For the morning coffee on the windowsill

about

Cold In The Heat contains 6 brand new songs and features several collaborations. This record marks a significant shift in the style of Robert's music with a greater focus on instrumentation and more complex arrangements.

"In 2015 I moved back to London from Japan. The experience of leaving my friends and my wife greatly influenced my writing. themes of isolation and separation feature heavily in these new songs."
