Heart Fit to Burst
05:56
|
|||
The tiny whine
Of August skies
The stage is set
But this summer can’t last
We’ll be back soon
Wait in the car
If you get hot
Just wind the window down
Outside
People are mirages
Going about all of their business
Look and
You can see their shadows
But you won’t see
Where it is they go
I miss
You all
Later
I’ll miss you more
Heart fit
To burst
Guess that’s
What it’s for
The ceiling dots
Arrange themselves
Into lines
Just for fun
They mark the place
Where (if you like)
A tin-opener
Could let in the sky
Outside
People are mirages
Going about their pretend business
Look and
You can see their shadows
But you won’t see
Where it is that they go
I miss
You all
Later
I’ll miss you more
Heart fit
To burst
Guess that’s
What it’s for

Polaroid
05:24
|

(one by one
fade reverse
polaroid)
A chemical reveal
The only time you’ve been pinned down
And what was found
Was that your love
Was made to fade
Straighten up your memory
Capture it in 3 by 4
Find out what that heart is for
Fading in
(the look before she meant it
right before she meant it
now it’s never ending
polaroid)
So hard to put in words
You shed some light
upon the matter
but by the time
the image came
the story changed
Here’s the man I used to be
Capture it for old time’s sake
Taken as the heart breaks
Taken as the heart breaks
Straighten up your memory
Capture it in 3 by 4
Find out what that heart is for
Fading in

Four to the floor
And the birds
In the trees
Sing your name
You rewind
All the things
That you knew
Before
There
Is a word for this
Feeling
Not
That it matters
Too much
You’re
in the deepest
Of focus
Not
That you’re
Focussed
At all
As such
Drained of all fear
Hands in the air
Every note
Every beat
Miles Apart
And your heart
Like the tide
Going in
And out

Cut Down the Middle
06:58
|

She is two people
Cut down the middle
Don’t talk about anything much
She is two people
Cut down the middle
Don’t talk about anything much
You don’t understand
I’ve been here before
You don’t understand I’ve been here
You don’t understand I’ve been here before
You don’t understand I’ve been here
There is no centre
There is no secret
There is no switch to be thrown
There is no reset
There is no enter
There is no fuse you can blow
You don’t understand
I’ve been here before
You don’t understand I’ve been here
You don’t understand I’ve been here before
You don’t understand I’ve been here
She has a memory
Something important
Something you cannot recall
She is two people
Now it’s essential
Next it won’t matter at all
You don’t understand
I’ve been here before
You don’t understand I’ve been here
You don’t understand I’ve been here before
You don’t understand I’ve been here
Now you’re a memory
Now you’re past perfect
Now you’re a verb she can own
Now you’re a short cut
But it was worth it
Scissors, paper and stone

Everyone Down
03:06
|
|||
No end
of blame
say
your name
What do they know
The voices in your head
Switch them off
Do something else instead
The ocean sounds
The stars descending
It’s never done
It’s never ending
It’s all a ruse
A provocation
We all get down
Across the nation
Say your name
Say your name

Fireflies
you fireflies
and I'm watching from the dark
Your fire is gone
in seconds
and your light is just a spark
It’s nothing like
a circuit
and it’s nothing like a bomb
We stand apart
we dance apart
and we try to get it wrong
You're moving round
like clockwork
you all dance like a machine
you're coiled up
to breaking
your escapement is the beat
all hands up to
the ceiling
all four down to the floor
but over here
it's not so clear
and we try to get it wrong
welcome to the lonely end of the dancefloor
welcome to the lonely end of the dancefloor
welcome to the lonely end of the dancefloor
welcome to the lonely end of the dancefloor

AWOL
05:12
|

Open / shutter / let the / light in / what use / what use / ending / listing / back off / leave it / it’s not / worth it / come on / come on / come on / come on
So say the end won’t trouble you
Say it’s soon come
To fall away right under you
Split like pack ice
The earth stops spinning under you
Nothing doing
The sun will switch off and it’s
No surprise at all
Back off / Leave it / It’s not / Worth it / Come on / Come on / Soon come / Out line / One line / One star / Star to / Star to / Star to / Who are you / Who are you?
If I were
An astronaut
I’d herd the stars
And pen them all
And spell it out
In words of fire
A thousand light years
Side to side:
Who the fuck
Is God to claim
I’ll go to hell
For what I say?
You’re not lost
You’re just offside
You’re not sad
You’re just alive.

Stitch
05:48
|
|||
You are a jail
You are a prosecution
I am the hand
You are the arm
And I’ve done wrong
The premise that we’re working from
Is that it’s you
Who’ll stitch me up
And I’d like you
To stitch me up
Oh bring it on
The Judas kissing contest
Oh let it come
The quiet knife
Just get it right
It’s you and me at dead of night
You’ve got a chance
To stitch me up
I really hope
You’ll stitch me up
Let’s drink to us
The fallen and outnumbered
Let’s raise a glass
The old team
We once were grand
We really had the upper hand
Until you chose
To stitch me up
I’m glad it’s you
Who’ll stitch me up
We’re all alone
We are the sole survivor
I know the ropes
You’ve all the charm
And there’s a time
to flatter and disarm me
and there’s a time
to stitch me up
and now’s the time
to stitch me up

Getting in my Way
04:07
|
|||
Close your eyes and hold my hand –
Patron saint of one night stands
Hear us now and cast your light upon us
Every stare and every smile
Every call you in a while
Call you in a day or two I promise
And if we’re only lovers
And not the best of friends
How come I keep seeing
Seeing you again
The Universe expands
From day to day
How come you keep getting
Getting in my way
