when you're not with me,
watch my ocd kick in
when you return, oh how I burn
needles and pins, kick in
when you're away
watch the dark dark grey kick in
when you come back, little heart attack
everything kicks in
cos you are my gyroscope
you bring me
equalibrium
but......when you're away
watch the black and grey kick in
when you're right here, oh my head is clear
endorphins...kick in
cos you are my gyroscope
you bring me
equalibrium

Good Advice
Stop, before you fall
Dont play with the pretty flame
Only have yourself to blame
You're running before you can crawl
Going like a freight train
Throwing caution after pain
Its easy to be wise when its not your problem
Easy to be brave when theres nothing to loose
Easy to be smart when the world if your oyster
But good advice it hard to choose
No shortcuts, no early reprieve
Time to stop the daydream
You've been staring at the same scene
So hard to stay, so easy to leave
Navigate the grey sea life is but a maybe
Its easy to be wise when its not your problem
Easy to be brave when theres nothing to loose
Easy to be smart when the world if your oyster
But good advice it hard to choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
So look, before you dive in
Cracked your head on the bottom
Lesson learned, forgotten
Its a long road, but god you know you're alive
When you think that all your fights gone
Somebody turns a light on
Its easy to be wise when its not your problem
Easy to be brave when theres nothing to loose
Easy to be smart when the world if your oyster
But good advice it hard to choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
Good Advice Is Hard To Choose
(so dont burn your bridges, exercise daily, plan your time to maximise productivity and regulate your caffeine intake)

Another Lover
04:05
|

The body in my bed doesn't always get me
too busy in his head to be delving in to mine
and the body in my bed, is quiet and peaceful
a single golden thread stretched so fine
I'm sorry darling
I didn't mean to dream of another
I'm sorry darling
I didn't mean to dream of another
And the body in my bed doesn't always love me
Sometimes silent and misread
we wait for morning to arrive
And the body in my bed isn't always present or correct
This rollercoaster we surface and we dive
I'm sorry darling
I didn't mean to dream of another
I'm sorry darling
I didn't mean to dream of another
I didn't mean to
It was an accident
And the body in my bed doesn't always get me
So sorry darling,
I didn't mean to dream of another lover

Duck & Run
03:50
|

Shotgun, I'll be sitting next to you
riding the silver line to happy ever after,
swerve avert disaster
no-one has ever made me feel the way you do
I searched the whole world through
you were unexpected no need to dissect this
Usually I duck and run for cover
but not this time, not this time
Cos you're a good one
and ill be holding to you
same way that you are holding on to
me and all my weirdness
we don't need to fear this
undone all the many reasons why not to
settle into loving you
crazy bright and breezy
I'm sure this is too easy
Usually I duck and run for cover
But not this time
Usually its bad luck and a shudder
but not this time

Contortula
05:01
|

Taught to grow straight and tall
Dont resist, even if you're naturally small
Fit in to this mould, we will help you squeeze inside
Don't unfold, by our rules you will abide
But you dared to be an individual
After we trained you to fit in
We thought we'd trained you so well
And you......you turned out beautiful
Sit up straight now, don't you gaze at those clouds
And stay in shape, and then we will be proud of you
But you broke out of the mould, we tried to squeeze you in to
Watched you unfold, could not do a thing
Cos you dared to be an individual
After we trained you to fit in
We thought we'd trained you so well
And you.....you turned out beautiful
We call you CONTORTULA
Thats not right
Now you don't fit
Our parameters
They won't permit
Someone of your shape and size
Walking round with open eyes
Cos you dared to be an individual
After we trained you to fit in
We thought we'd trained you so well
And you.......YOU......you turned out beautiful
We call you CONTORTULA
How beautiful you are
How beautiful you are
even if you never fit in
We are beautiful!

Fracture
04:22
|
|||
Dig down deep deep down
through the stone, through the soil,
through solid ground
Sell it as a better way to supply the demand
oh but look at what you have found
A way to set our water on fire,
a way to make the ground shake
put our future on a high wire
no safety net to break - our fall
what about the next chapter
do you think of that when you fracture
mix your chemicals, shove it deep in the dirt
this concoction toxic option, acid for dessert
what about the 100 other ways disaster to avert
check it with the board only when
somebody gets hurt
when you set our water on fire,
when you make the ground shake
put our future on a high wire
no safety net to break
our fall
what about the next chapter
do you think of that - when you fracture?

Trick Of the Light
I see your face in the smoke rings
Floating across this room
What was once a smile now disappears
Like the man on the moon
Fill the air up with the laughter of you
And I'm breathing gold
Stranded one night out on desert sands
Couldnt stop the cold
From coming in
From coming in
Sweet silver dreams I wish for you
Every single night
And warm friendly arms wrapped around
When you're buried and out of sight
Oh and could it be
The dawn that takes you away
Or could it be
A trick of the light that creates this day
Could it be a trick
Could it be a trick
Could it be a trick
Could it be a trick of the light
Could it be a trick of the light
Could it be a trick of the light
Could it be a trick of the light
I see your face in the smoke rings
Floating across this room
What was once a smile now disappears
Like that man on that moon
Oh and could it be
The dawn that takes you away
Or could it be
A trick of the light that creates this day

Our Demise
04:32
|
|||
Never been the one to run
In the face of you
Always been the one to
Shield the sun from your eyes
Our demise
Its right here between us
A thousand tiny tries behind us
Should have been the one to run
Sooner than I did
I would have seen the sun
So much sooner than I did
But our demise
Its right here between us
A thousand tiny lies behind us
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
Should have run away
I should have run, run
Faster than a speeding train
So insane to remain
Think I loved a dream
Closed my eyes and hoped it was true
Think I loved a dream
I closed my eyes
Always been the one you
Ran to when the darkness fell
Saved up all your sun
And showed it to strangers
You showed me your hell
Our Demise its right here between us
A thousand bad goodbyes behind us
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun
I should have run, run
Faster than a bullet from a gun

Remnants
All thats left, is a photograph
Stuck lopsidedly
In the back of a book
That you left behind
Memory rewind
Cos you never struck me as a happy man
I don't remember you ever
reaching for my hand
but apparently there are a few
Remnants of you
All thats left is an empty space
No perspective
On which to base all my ideals on
Memory now gone
Cos you never struck me as a happy man
I don't remember you ever
reaching for my hand
but apparently there are a few
Remnants of you
Remnants of you!
Remnants of you
Remnants of you
Remnants of you
So do I brush
brush off the dust of this
Crack open the spine
Piece together
This story
Cos apparently there are few
Remnants of me in you too
And I hope the good ones they come through
