Just Rain
03:14
|

I’m waking up
Got a fire in my cup
It’s not just tea
It’s a lot
I’m just waiting for a signal from above
And in your sleep
When you’re free
You turn monsters into trees
One by one up to the seas
Turning darkness evergreen
You’ve been trying (I’ve been trying)
Our heads are holy in silence
It’s all the same, all the same
Woopsie-daisy
Just rain
So open up your heart
It can help to wear a mask
I tried a pendent made of glass
When it broke I found it hard to laugh
And it can be revolting
Especially when you’re dreaming
Could be death, could be just teething
Losing sight can be relieving

Finding Snowdrop
03:03
|

Like the leaves on the trees
You know I felt more at ease
When the autumn came and made its peace
Holding onto the dreaded time release
Of the body, mind, soul and knees
I’m already popping my friends are loving
But we’re all lost and know relatively nothing
But I don’t worry no more
No I try not to worry, no more
Oh me, catch that scene
Everybody else is turning green but me
Talk about it, you’ll see
(Somebody’s out to steal your rhythm)
Hey, hey, come my way
Hold my hand it’ll be ok
Waylaid
Snowdrop, don’t rock
(Really makes you glad to be alive)
So I got back sat and chewed the fat
Holy rollers never made me feel like that
And all the drugs and the dreaded sleep aside
I came out feeling better than feeling alive
Though as I mentioned I don’t know relatively anything
That would count as a model to existing
Could be it’s all just a matter of persisting
Taking your time to calculate a feeling

Boat Song
04:04
|

Rock-a-bye, well rock
Over the water
I jumped in to feel free
Though my crew were displeased
Don’t you know about
Weil’s disease?
So we went on home
I left the river alone
I climbed up the tallest of trees
And my crew were displeased
Think of your head and your knees
You know I play it safe most days
You know I quiver in retreat
So when the time comes
Scrape the mud
From your feet
So I take me down
To that corner of town
Where every Brick Pollitt
Has gathered around
And the new day is here
But the old’s right behind
And all that we’ve done so it’s yours
So it’s mine
You know I play it right sometimes
And you, show me how
Hollow log
Troubled water
Living bough

I ate the peach
It didn’t anger me
And the cold went running
Well the bees were on the streets
For as far as I could see
And I knew nothing else
Except the way your body felt
Call it in lock the door
Clear the floor
And take my hand
(And roll me when you can)
You know I had one foot in the void
Now I’m beyond buoyed
(Beyond Buoyed, beyond)
So much sea but there’s land ahoy!
Beyond buoyed,
(Beyond buoyed, beyond…)
And I am you and you are me
A cellular mimicry
I am blue, I am green, I am red, I run obscene
And you split my light into a rainbow beam

Darling I Wanted To Know

Darling I wanted to know
Why won’t you touch me anymore?
My hair’s still curly
My eyes are still blue
Why won’t you do those things you used to do?
Thomas you never come to bed
And when you do your eyes are swollen and red
And in the days you mourn
Though for what I’m not sure
So I’d rather be in my world instead
The front door was open
But no-one came through
I waited for someone
I waited for you
I’m sick I think my pain is unique
You’re a dick you know you just need some sleep
Just a quick fix and I’ll be on my feet
Why won’t you please come back to me?
Why won’t you
Why won’t you
Why won’t you
Why won’t you please come back to me

Caroline
02:02
|

I’m in a state, don’t look so good
I stayed up late to go as far as I could
And the bags beneath my eyes
They could hold a jar of wine
Oh what did you do all this time?
What did you find Caroline?
So I took a walk, took a good long look
And I can still feel the way you shook
And the path got thin and thinner
But I saw fire, I saw you shimmer

Little One

Little One
Look what you’ve done
Little One
Well you’re only young once
The first time I looked into those eyes I was a changed man
And all the love songs couldn’t touch how it felt then
And what went up well it never came down
It got stuck in the sky over London Town
And at the age of seventeen I nearly killed my two best friends
Avoiding a pheasant crashing into a fence
At 60mph, the car was on fire
But the pheasant lived on being none the wiser
And Hark! The Herald angel sings
Well I’ve got a brand new tv screen
4k picture it’s a love machine
Debt trail longer than my uni fees
In the mountains, you’ll find the ash berries
It’s a small fruit, though it may just keep you going
In the dark night, when you feel that it’s something
Going on forward even if you’re stumbling
And how many people get to talk in your head?
Have you ever left your body for a second and returned scared?
Little One it’s not all bad
It’s like your favourite band’s playing but they’re not quite there
And April, May made oak explode
Stay put man you never ever know
There’s blue in fire be blue perspire
Just come back and tell us what you know

Full Swing
04:27
|

Cunts out tonight in full-swing
Wouldn’t even know how to do my thing
Even if I could, even if I could
And I made some mistakes,
Cut my own brakes
Living in hiding of late
Roll me only
R-Roll me baby
Roll me over
I choked on my whiskey
Roll me only
R-Roll me baby
Roll me over
Down to the AA
Taste bedlam, bile and defeat
Sack of shit even my cat’s leaving me
(And it worries me how much I love her)
Oh I’ve no-one to blame
When each night runs the same
No silver-lining just rain
I only wanted good times
But all I have are bad times
Mud in my hair,
Sick in my shoes,
Losing my mind but worst of all, losing you
R-Roll me, Roll me, Roll me
I’m queasy
R-Roll me, roll me, roll me
Baby
R-Roll me, Roll me, roll me
I’m queasy

Big Boy Now
01:16
|
|||
You know I could stay up all night
And eat ice-cream in the sunrise
Make a potion in my treehouse
Turn the dog into a door-mouse
I can count from A to Z
There’s no-one stopping me
Ever been anyone you know in school?
Could swim the width of the leisure pool?
Well I can
So don’t try to kid me
I’m a big boy now
My friends up here with me
Say you’re smelly anyhow
