Two Ribbons lyrics
Levitation
I know, oh oh oh you I know, oh oh oh you
I fall apart
I’m good at picking up the pieces from the bathroom floor
And though the tap is broken and I’m miles away
I see a piece of something glittering inside the drain
I feel it rising as the sun beats through the glass
We’re driving in the morning down the boulevard
And picking all the heartbeats off the floor
I still believe that I haven’t met the best days of my life
I know, oh oh oh yeah
Are you here or somewhere else?
Shooting stars in your direction as I’m losing grip on my reflection and I
Call you near, from somewhere else
Everything feels so amazing when our bodies float like levitation
I know, oh oh oh you I know, ohhh you
The time is right
I keep on wishing for the moment that I need tonight
And though I’ve had a catastrophic Saturday
I’m dressing up to look a million dollars anyway
I’m still believing that the point is how we try
I’m watching all the swallows in the summer sky
And even when I can’t quite reach the floor
Well underneath I’m still holding for the best days
‘Cause sun will come in pieces Sun will come in pieces
Are you here or somewhere else?
Shooting stars in your direction as I’m losing grip on my reflection and I
Call you near, from somewhere else
Everything feels so amazing when our bodies float like levitation
Are you here or somewhere else?
Shooting stars in your direction as I’m losing grip on my reflection and I
Call you near, from somewhere else
Everything feels so amazing when our bodies float like levitation
I fall apart
I’m good at picking up the pieces from the bathroom floor
And though the tap is broken and I’m miles away
I see a piece of something glittering inside the drain
I feel it rising as the sun beats through the glass
We’re driving in the morning down the boulevard
And picking all the heartbeats off the floor
I still believe that I haven’t met the best days of my life
I know, oh oh oh yeah
Are you here or somewhere else?
Shooting stars in your direction as I’m losing grip on my reflection and I
Call you near, from somewhere else
Everything feels so amazing when our bodies float like levitation
I know, oh oh oh you I know, ohhh you
The time is right
I keep on wishing for the moment that I need tonight
And though I’ve had a catastrophic Saturday
I’m dressing up to look a million dollars anyway
I’m still believing that the point is how we try
I’m watching all the swallows in the summer sky
And even when I can’t quite reach the floor
Well underneath I’m still holding for the best days
‘Cause sun will come in pieces Sun will come in pieces
Are you here or somewhere else?
Shooting stars in your direction as I’m losing grip on my reflection and I
Call you near, from somewhere else
Everything feels so amazing when our bodies float like levitation
Are you here or somewhere else?
Shooting stars in your direction as I’m losing grip on my reflection and I
Call you near, from somewhere else
Everything feels so amazing when our bodies float like levitation
Two Ribbons
These places they stay but we’re changing
Like two ribbons, still woven although we are fraying
Yeah we both held on so tight that we’re bruising up
Collect the feathers that you drop when you’re taking off
Hold them close ‘cause
It’s been ages I know
‘Cause I haven’t thought for weeks of anyone but you
And I wanna find the answer, I just want to be your best friend
Just like it always was
Just like it always was
Sometimes I become as translucent as my love
I’m bound to two worlds that I can’t be a part of
I’m not brave
Like the arms that held onto me
To spread my wings in that snow
I lost the feel of my hands and feet
But oh my love
The truth will haunt you but set you free
‘Cause I haven’t thought for months of anyone but you
And I wanna find the answer but I can only be your best friend
And hope that that’s enough
But I know that’s not enough
Because there’s nothing you can do at this point over
They say it’s like the rains that come down in October
Watch them wash away...
Watch them wash away...
Watch them wash away...
Watch them wash away...
Like two ribbons, still woven although we are fraying
Yeah we both held on so tight that we’re bruising up
Collect the feathers that you drop when you’re taking off
Hold them close ‘cause
It’s been ages I know
‘Cause I haven’t thought for weeks of anyone but you
And I wanna find the answer, I just want to be your best friend
Just like it always was
Just like it always was
Sometimes I become as translucent as my love
I’m bound to two worlds that I can’t be a part of
I’m not brave
Like the arms that held onto me
To spread my wings in that snow
I lost the feel of my hands and feet
But oh my love
The truth will haunt you but set you free
‘Cause I haven’t thought for months of anyone but you
And I wanna find the answer but I can only be your best friend
And hope that that’s enough
But I know that’s not enough
Because there’s nothing you can do at this point over
They say it’s like the rains that come down in October
Watch them wash away...
Watch them wash away...
Watch them wash away...
Watch them wash away...
Happy New Year
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you
Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what I have with you
Mmm
I said I don’t know how we do it
And you said
“Do you think if we’d have been together we’d be breaking up?”
I said “I’d want the synth,
And what a thing to say”
Do you remember when we’d spend our days at the end of my garden?
Summertime, rope swings
Say the things that no-one knew about us
Well there’s no one else who gets me quite like you
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you
Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what I made with you
Mmm
We’d still lie in your room
Even passing through those stone cold days knew that neither of us were going away (that’s what made it harder)
I could only wish time froze in the snow globe
Remember when we built that igloo out in the park
We’d been waiting for the snow since May
Sat in there for a day
And then had a bubble bath in our swimsuits
Aaah
(Hallelujah)
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
(Happy new year)
And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you
(Hallelujah)
Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what we made it through
(Happy new year, to you)
I’m okay with this
Been thinking quite a lot about that:
How I’d wanted the old us back
It’s okay
To say what you wanna say
And that we’ve grown in different ways
(Hallelujah)
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
(Happy new year)
And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you
(Hallelujah)
Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what I have with you
(Happy new year, to you)
Then see the year come into bloom
And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you
Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what I have with you
Mmm
I said I don’t know how we do it
And you said
“Do you think if we’d have been together we’d be breaking up?”
I said “I’d want the synth,
And what a thing to say”
Do you remember when we’d spend our days at the end of my garden?

Well there’s no one else who gets me quite like you
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise

And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you
Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what I made with you

(Happy new year, to you)
Hall of Mirrors
Take me all around the world and then
Show me a picture of myself
I didn’t see, any way to know me better
But baby I’ve found this door
The light streams
I’ve stepped into a movie scene
Where my secrets
Are written on the bathroom walls
It dropped clean
Like a penny in a slot machine:
I know that I want this so
Raining down
Raining down
Sat on the overground
I’m cold to the bone
In this lonely town
Somebody tell me how
I’m gonna work this out
And I thought of you
And there wasn’t a girl that had made me shy until I talked to you
Somewhere in the night with a spell in your eyes
And it was all about you
The moment in time when our shadows collided and I told the truth
You linked through my fingers
And followed me into the hall of mirrors
And now and then I’ll be running round bend
Signed live this fucking life
Shut your eyes
Then I’ll dig myself a trench
Thorns at my bedside
Writing letters that are riddled with regret
I said I know I know I know I know I know your heart is locked
And this can only be inside the dream that I’ve been making up
But I thought of you
And there wasn’t a girl that had made me shy until I talked to you
Somewhere in the night with a spell in your eyes
And it was all about you
The moment in time when our shadows collided and I told the truth
You linked through my fingers
And followed me into the hall of mirrors
Raining down
Raining down
I’m in the boarding lounge
Bored of this weather
And facing clouds
Somebody tell me how
I’m gonna work this out
Slow down where do you wanna go now you’re on my mind
Slow down where do you wanna go now you’re on my mind
And I thought of you
And there wasn’t a girl that had made me shy until I talked to you Somewhere in the night with a spell in your eyes
And it was all about you
The moment in time where our shadows collided and I told the truth You linked through my fingers
And followed me into the hall of mirrors
Show me a picture of myself
I didn’t see, any way to know me better
But baby I’ve found this door
The light streams
I’ve stepped into a movie scene
Where my secrets
Are written on the bathroom walls
It dropped clean
Like a penny in a slot machine:
I know that I want this so
Raining down
Raining down
Sat on the overground
I’m cold to the bone
In this lonely town
Somebody tell me how
I’m gonna work this out
And I thought of you
And there wasn’t a girl that had made me shy until I talked to you
Somewhere in the night with a spell in your eyes
And it was all about you
The moment in time when our shadows collided and I told the truth
You linked through my fingers
And followed me into the hall of mirrors
And now and then I’ll be running round bend
Signed live this fucking life
Shut your eyes

And this can only be inside the dream that I’ve been making up

Slow down where do you wanna go now you’re on my mind
Slow down where do you wanna go now you’re on my mind

And it was all about you
The moment in time where our shadows collided and I told the truth You linked through my fingers
And followed me into the hall of mirrors
I'm All Ears lyrics
Hot Pink
'Cause I don't know what to say with you
Fill my head with shame ‘cause you need someone to blame
I’m just an object of disdain to you
I’m only 17, I don’t know what you mean
Bite my tongue now that’s your cue, to bring me down
Redirect your gaze ‘cause that’s your middle name
All the same
Kill me now
I’m such a drama queen you’ve got something up your sleeve don’t you
Oh
Oh
Oh wait a minute
Hot Pink
Is it mine? Is it
Is it mine? Is it
Hot PInk
Is it mine? Is it
Is it mine? Is it
Hot Pink
On my pony in the sky I just want
Anything and everything just paint it all in hot pink
Say to you
Been thinking over things I’ve never said before
‘Cause there’s an element of great with you
What a waste on you
Been looking out for me and then you bring it right back
So call me up and hear me out
You keep thinking about it
You know that’s not enough
Well keep thinking about it
I just let it go at first but you went and made it worse
And a glitter eater doesn’t need it best believe it even if I’m feeling Don’t you
Hot Pink
Hot Pink
Is it mine? Is it, is it mine? Is it Hot PInk
Is it mine? Is it
Is it mine? Is it
Hot Pink
On my pony in the sky I just want
Anything and everything just paint it all in hot pink
You wouldn’t believe the lengths I’ve gone for you
You wouldn’t believe the shit that I can do
Is it cool is it mine?
And why you trying to design, to decide
If it’s a girl or it’s a guy
Well there’s no reason to define
Hot Pink
Hot Pink
Is it mine? Is it
Is it mine? Is it
Hot Pink
Is it mine? Is it
Is it mine? Is it
Hot Pink
On my pony in the sky I just want
Anything and everything just paint it all in hot pink
Hot Pink Hot Pink Hot Pink Pink Hot Pink Hot Pink etc
Hello is that you?
Running out of places that we come to realign to
Running out of faces that we come to realign to (repeats in different orders)
Fill my head with shame ‘cause you need someone to blame
I’m just an object of disdain to you
I’m only 17, I don’t know what you mean
Bite my tongue now that’s your cue, to bring me down
Redirect your gaze ‘cause that’s your middle name
All the same
Kill me now
I’m such a drama queen you’ve got something up your sleeve don’t you
Oh
Oh
Oh wait a minute

It’s Not Just Me
And just when we discover
That we need each other here
Our lives keep pulling us away
Now we’re both so unstable
At the kitchen table
With these peanut bagels
In a foreign state
Because the point is that I see it’s not just me
The point is that you feel my company
I don’t wanna say goodbye guess I’ll
See you when my screen is vibrating
It’s not just me
I know you’re feeling the same way
And I can’t fail to believe
When you’re feeling the same way x 2
It’s not just me
Back then I’d just decided
I was so misguided
That you’d all forget about me
In time
Bet you remember it was New Year’s Eve
Sparklers through Palaced streets
We knew though years do change
We’d always feel the same
Because the point is that I see it’s not just me
The point is that you feel my company
You know I’ll never be too far
If you’re looking for somebody I’m here
It’s not just me
I know you’re feeling the same way
And I can’t fail to believe
When you’re feeling the same way x 2
It’s not just me
Seems so hard you’ll start to feel so
Good at not sweeping it under the carpet x2
And I know and you know
It’s not just me
I know you’re feeling the same way
And I can’t fail to believe
When you’re feeling the same way x 2
It’s not just me
That we need each other here
Our lives keep pulling us away
Now we’re both so unstable
At the kitchen table
With these peanut bagels
In a foreign state
Because the point is that I see it’s not just me
The point is that you feel my company
I don’t wanna say goodbye guess I’ll
See you when my screen is vibrating
It’s not just me
I know you’re feeling the same way
And I can’t fail to believe
When you’re feeling the same way x 2
It’s not just me
Back then I’d just decided
I was so misguided
That you’d all forget about me
In time
Bet you remember it was New Year’s Eve
Sparklers through Palaced streets
We knew though years do change
We’d always feel the same
Because the point is that I see it’s not just me
The point is that you feel my company
You know I’ll never be too far
If you’re looking for somebody I’m here
It’s not just me
I know you’re feeling the same way
And I can’t fail to believe
When you’re feeling the same way x 2
It’s not just me
Seems so hard you’ll start to feel so
Good at not sweeping it under the carpet x2
And I know and you know
It’s not just me
I know you’re feeling the same way
And I can’t fail to believe
When you’re feeling the same way x 2
It’s not just me
Falling Into Me
I pave the backstreet with the mist of my brain
I cross the gap between platform and train
Falling into me
Violet strip lights I try to dissipate my focus
Falling into me
But I realise I can’t keep hiding my emotions
Falling into me
I can’t just lay or let be
When all the words you say are hanging onto me
You occupy my mind by every which way
And when I climb the steps to street
There is no reason to doubt myself here
My thoughts were pouring down with the rain
But now see that it’s so crystal clear
We got this
You
Me
This
Now wherever we go is the best place
No need
To be
Restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say x2
When we were like night bloom violets
Our handprints pressed to my window
I was feeling quite right like this as the lightning glitched
And it echoed in your eyes
Beating right through the denim
You left a dent in my home screen
We’re in so far
But we need it
You know I’d
Bite my hair as I tried to justify
You know I
You know I
We got this
You
Me
This
Now wherever we go it’s the best place
No need
To be
Restrained
Now whatever we know we should just say x2
No hesitation at the traffic lights
Beneath the black in my windscreen
We drive
I think they caught it on camera
Can’t help but feel it again
It’s just the necessary price you pay
If you listen to your instincts
And I
Don’t wanna cast it in concrete
And then it hits me again
We’re so illuminated in the night
Alight together down the fire line
Fireline
Beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat
I cross the gap between platform and train
Falling into me
Violet strip lights I try to dissipate my focus
Falling into me
But I realise I can’t keep hiding my emotions
Falling into me
I can’t just lay or let be
When all the words you say are hanging onto me
You occupy my mind by every which way
And when I climb the steps to street
There is no reason to doubt myself here
My thoughts were pouring down with the rain
But now see that it’s so crystal clear

Snakes & Ladders
As it starts I begin to open fire
How much do I have to overlap the lines?
‘Cause I have grown to understand that you’re resigned
Whilst I sit and wait for it all to align, no
But you don’t depend on me like I do, and I do
And you don’t depend on me like I do, and I do
And you bite me
My two-tooth wounds are sightly
Don’t mind me
You’ll find me head-to-toe in bright green
So Armani, I’m magnifique
And finally I’ve been giving in so lay your cards down
Rather give it up if I don’t know how
How’d you feel so respected, majestic?
‘Cause I’m objecting to things I go off and buy into
Selecting the pails I’ll be pouring your tears into
Praying to God it turns out that it wasn’t true
‘Cause it’s so consuming
The time that they’re losing
As I’m just wasting, so wasted
Not breathing just writhing to
How’d you want to feel?
What’d you want to know?
Feel
What’d you want to know?
‘Cause you don’t depend on me like I do
But you will depend on me like I do
Tonight I’ve been away
I’ve been starting to trace
Between what is here now
And what we could feel and be
Endlessly
And before we know it
It feels like the real thing that we treasure
But it feels like we’re stuck in the Everglades
Trying to run through mud
But we get nowhere
Like we’re searching across the Savannah
To fill our cavities
Up with silver grains
And it feels like we’re falling to saturn
Just a milky star
In an empty space
And it looks like we’ll never come down
All the green clouds
Fucked up the sky
But now nothing can smash our glass eyes
Silicone rich
Cash in your chips
Going round on the jubilee line
Jupiter
Mercury
Til we rot away
Where is our power (power, power)?
Give me something real something real something evergreen, something un-mundane
Where is our power (power, power)?
Give me something something sweet, something so pristine, something super strange
And it feels like we’ve fallen in love with it
Well of course we have
Have you lost yourself?
How much do I have to overlap the lines?
‘Cause I have grown to understand that you’re resigned
Whilst I sit and wait for it all to align, no
But you don’t depend on me like I do, and I do
And you don’t depend on me like I do, and I do
And you bite me
My two-tooth wounds are sightly
Don’t mind me
You’ll find me head-to-toe in bright green
So Armani, I’m magnifique
And finally I’ve been giving in so lay your cards down

‘Cause it’s so consuming

How’d you want to feel?
What’d you want to know?
Feel
What’d you want to know?

Have you lost yourself?
I Will Be Waiting
The feeling when your head gets
You’ll know it when your head gets real
So feel it in the best way
And call it when the moment’s revealed
And then you’ll let your chest breathe and your head stream
And make headway, through your daydreams
And there’s thinking, you’d try to excavate the feelings but they’d stay in
It’s like the rhythm of the beat is just a feeling
But there’s no need to feel the way that it does
When you’re running and you feel so above it
And there’s reason why we are redone
So pull yourself into wind and say
I will be waiting for you, ah
I will be waiting for you, ah
It’s late
But I will keep waiting for you
It’s late
But I will be waiting
So pull yourself together now, pull it all together now
Open up your head until your tears are streaming out
And they’ll be people in the lineup, spinning safely round in cycles
Then our hands are at the corner of your desk until the ink runs out
And then you’ll see yourself in the mirror of the pearls
With people singing out like that’s the way cos that the way
Now all your leaves will change with season
Count to eight to hear the gleaming
Be prepared cos when you see it
Everything will start competing
And I will be waiting for you, ah
I will be waiting for you, ah
It’s late
But I will keep waiting for you
It’s late
But I will be waiting
I will be waiting for you
And for the first time, this is the first time
I will be waiting for you
And for the first time, this is the first time it’s figured out x 2
And for the first time, this is the first time
And for the first time, this is the first time it’s figured out
You’ll know it when your head gets real
So feel it in the best way
And call it when the moment’s revealed
And then you’ll let your chest breathe and your head stream
And make headway, through your daydreams
And there’s thinking, you’d try to excavate the feelings but they’d stay in
It’s like the rhythm of the beat is just a feeling
But there’s no need to feel the way that it does
When you’re running and you feel so above it
And there’s reason why we are redone
So pull yourself into wind and say
I will be waiting for you, ah
I will be waiting for you, ah
It’s late
But I will keep waiting for you
It’s late
But I will be waiting
So pull yourself together now, pull it all together now
Open up your head until your tears are streaming out
And they’ll be people in the lineup, spinning safely round in cycles
Then our hands are at the corner of your desk until the ink runs out
And then you’ll see yourself in the mirror of the pearls
With people singing out like that’s the way cos that the way
Now all your leaves will change with season
Count to eight to hear the gleaming
Be prepared cos when you see it
Everything will start competing
And I will be waiting for you, ah
I will be waiting for you, ah
It’s late
But I will keep waiting for you
It’s late
But I will be waiting
I will be waiting for you
And for the first time, this is the first time
I will be waiting for you
And for the first time, this is the first time it’s figured out x 2
And for the first time, this is the first time
And for the first time, this is the first time it’s figured out
Cool & Collected
Safe to say we are still strangers
Speculating all the time
I’ll still wait disintegrating
Rotting down to ash and lime
Antiseptic so infectious
Next to you I’m far away
That’s sometimes why I feel the need to
Echo every word you say
Cos I’m impressed with you
I don’t have that effect on you
I can’t express to you
I’ll be here if you want me to
I’m just obsessed with you
I’m always such a mess with you
So what we gonna do
We’re gonna find out somehow
How to be
Cool
And Collected
I wanna be
Bold
And unaffected
But I’m just
Ooh ooh
But I’m just
Ooh ooh
The same as I ever was
The same as I ever was
Same as I ever was
Ooh, I
And you make me feel, so
I, I, I,
And you make me feel, so
Ooh, I
And we’re gonna find out somehow
How to be
Cool
And Collected
I wanna be
Bold
And unaffected
But I wish I was you
I still blur in the haze that you cut straight through
Like you wanted me to
And you’ll always wait but I thought you knew
That I’m the same as I ever was
The same as I ever was
The same as I ever was
The same as I ever was
I’m the same as I ever was

Ava
With her head in her scars
Ava studies her palm
As she waits on the window seat
Pebble thrown overarm
Her face is stark in alarm
She says “what do you want from me?”
I said
Why’d you take it as final when you’re starting to spiral
Girl, why can’t you see?
You know I know you can do it
And I’ll help you get through this
Whether it’s
Once or twice or again
Again, no
Moonlight in the garden
Grass beneath your toes
Girl in shame says “they can’t see me like this”
“Well if you slip or stall, I’ll be holding holding your hands”
I’ll be holding your
Mmm, mmm, I
A couple summers have passed
And I can’t place the car
As walk past her balcony
Words long lost in this air
A little breeze in my hair
As I think what she might’ve been
I wonder where she’s been living
And is she’s still wishing for no-one to see?
I know I have accept this
But if she’d have let me
I’d be there
Once or twice or again
Again

Donnie Darko
I saw you in the yellow pages
I just looked at it to pass the time
In my self-alienating phases
I play a rough game, to win, to win
Of being things that I can’t be
And honestly some people are so committed to honesty
But I don’t know if these can face that
‘Cause I’ve wanted to take back what I’ve said before
But I couldn’t find my receipt
I’ve got bed bug bites
Up my spine and my left hand side
Cool them down in the freezer aisle
Oh so sweet ‘til the night comes by
Now I’m lying flat on the bathroom tiles
Hear the buzz of the hornet fly
Trapped inside of my orchid mind
I’m going batshit crazy it’s not real life
I can’t be dialing the 999
Peel my skin like a clementine
Just reminds me of auld lang syne
I’ve got to focus right on the bright blue light
And hold on tight hold on tight
Donnie Darko’s at my windscreen
Screaming
“Stop the car, stop the car please”
But I can’t, and I can’t
‘Cause the beatings just get harder and we’ll never grow them out
‘Cause the hand that does the dealings is the one that feeds your mouth
And the beatings just get harder and we’ll never grow them out
‘Cause the hand that does the dealings is the one that feeds your mouth

Let's Eat Grandma, in full colour
I was so inspired, and the grass and the sheep and the barbed wired, and the stars in the night and the cats eyes
We live our lives in the textbook, letter by letter, I feel like standing on the desk and screaming I don’t care, oh
and I was such a quiet child, oh why, was I
I bet the starfish wonder, why we're so obsessed, why we be so stressed, I wish you all the best, you’re making
me upset, why (we’re so obsessed with the boring things, reoccurring things, still enduring things)
We're heading straight to the east coast, it just got better
The ocean doesn't care, the waves will curl our hair, it's summertime where days collide say why didn't we, why
didn't we go
Why, why, why?

Eat Shiitake Mushrooms
And he was never invincible, and he was never predictable x 2
(The shiitake grow on the island, and they be rocking that boat)
And he was never invincible, and he was never predictable
Shiitake mushroom how do you grow, enchant me with your glow, you were covered in snow, but you made it now
The water’s contaminated with a peculiar illusion
Intoxicated, with an electric infusion
It’s desiccated
Walk down the track to the music, we’re syncopated
Cos I remember where to go
Getting in the zone
Move your body and I hit my hip bone
And it was like yo
Cos now we’re living in a buttoned up world, bottletop girl
Butterscotch flavour, covered in grazes
Come up with excuses that are bruises in the making
Carry on crazy
Tripping on papers
Bet I go bubblegum stuck to my trainers
Waves
A melody remedy, feel the flow
I hit the domino
I came a cropper couple times decapitate my toe
Cos now we’re stuck in this craze, away
And he was never invincible, and he was never predictable x 4

Sax in the City
Sometimes I just lay back and float away
I spoke to Serene who wears the purple trousers, xylophone (xylophoning away x3), kaleidoscoping, so
spontaneous
I tell you she’s just great
I live in a house, by the roadside and the cars pass by everyday and I get so stir crazy, and it’s so frustrating
What’s it about?
We’re stuck in a landslide, and it’s passing you by
So go approach a total stranger, ask them ‘tell me something interesting’
Ride my bike right through this city maze
The sax is in the city and Vesuvius is waking from its dormant phase
Pollution in eruption
Well there’s tins and cans and mums and prams and fags and rags and suits and ties and stripes and spots
Tell me where you come from
And that man who wears fluorescent jacket see you everyday holding your lollipop
Tell me all your secrets
I’m curious of your lives
I’m eavesdropping fine,
I know it’s not right but how can I
The fire engine’s screaming, the rest of us are dreaming
The cars their horns are beeping, the city’s never sleeping
Stop me at the red light x6
The city’s never sleeping
All these people stuck inside their daily daze
Tell me what you’re thinking
Headlights, no light besides the city haze
The city’s exploded, the people have died
Half price double glazing on all of your eyes
Get off your device and concentrate, the car’s about to hit you!
The fire engine’s screaming, the rest of us are dreaming
The cars their horns are beeping, the city’s never sleeping x3 (stop me at the redlight x4)

Chocolate Sludge Cake
I’ve got a foot in my mouth
I’ve got a tongue on my feet
I’ve got beady eyes to see
Antennae, and slime all the time
Yeah
A slug, a bug, I bake a cake
I’m gonna make an apple cake
No, I’m gonna make a carrot cake
No, I’m gonna make a coffee cake,
(eurgh!)
No I’m gonna make a chocolate cake
A chocolate cake x3
Sometimes when I’m tired, I go inside
I go inside my fridge at night
And sometimes when I’m tired, I go inside, I go inside
I go inside, I live inside my fridge tonight
And it’s a shame the milk’s expired
But bananas ripe
Select a type, selectrified, I take a bite
Then someone from the outside turns off the light
I’m bleeding floods of strawberry blood, I’m petrified
I’ve got a tongue on my feet
I’ve got beady eyes to see
Antennae, and slime all the time
Yeah

Chimpanzees in Canopies
Does it echo underwater?
Does it echo underwater? I know
Does it echo underwater?
Does it echo underwater? I know
Does it echo underwater?
Ohhh, I hate this thing called time
Blue rope swings, we’re lime green twins up cherry trees
Chimpanzees swing alternately in canopies
Yodelling through mountain springs Eden it seems
Creatures dance intrinsic trance we fall asleep
Ohhh, I hate this thing called time
They’re calling and they’re calling and they’re every morning
And they’re calling and they’re calling and they’re every morning x5

My cat is dead

Please, let me out
I can't deserve this

Sleep Song
I wonder where I’m wondering, standing on the landing
Stop all these voices
I’m scared, I don’t know where I am
Seeing whirling, swirling
I heard it’s quite disturbing
I Googled it but
Not even Google understands
All these people stumble aimlessly I notice
Where are these places in relation
Disorientation
Cause there’s a train but there’s no station
After all, we can’t stop we’re just stuck in amazement
Indication, petrol station, please be patient
I am waiting, waiting on this pavement
How’d you feel? Is it real?
I can’t think that it’s an animation
We are an infestation, generation after generation
Categorically unstoppable, irrelevantly topical
And now all I’m seeing is what I’m hearing and I don’t know who to trust
The sandman is waiting at dusk to sprinkle sand in the eyes of the person that he feels he must
And it’s one of us
(Well I’m not awake, but I’m not asleep)
(I heard you in the bathroom, singing something that I speak)
(I tried to try my hardest, but I just couldn’t find the light switch)
(I Googled it but not even Google understands)
I wonder where I’m wondering, standing on the landing
Stop all these voices
I’m scared, I don’t know where I am
Seeing whirling, swirling
I heard it’s quite disturbing
I Googled it but
Not even Google understands
There’s these people on my ceiling, it’s unnerving how they’re screaming
Am I dreaming? (Am I dreaming?)
What am I revealing, I’m not speaking I’m just hearing
All the time this feeling falling fearing
What am I meaning? (What am I meaning?)
Well
I get the feeling it’s just me then
I’m trying to sleep in
Avoid the monsters, tuck your feet in
(It’s dangerous to walk a sleepwalker)
And it’s dark, and I just can’t stop and
(It’s dangerous to walk a sleepwalker)
Why is there a man in the corner of my room?
