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

More Fool Them
04:27

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

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

What Happened
03:35
|

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

Through The Fibre
03:46
|

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
