- about your dress
It?s just what all young lovers do
It?s just what all young lovers do
I noticed you
You stood out like a sore thumb
The most beautiful sore thumb I?d ever seen
I took you out
- all in your rows
So it's stars and crosses
Reasoning for losses
You learn right from wrong
Then you write the book yourself
Right the wrongs you know,
But then you're all in your rows
All in your rows
- bag of bones
Double noose a necklace
Bubble wrap to safe the place
Wrinkles of a trophy one
Could think of it as showing us the way
Think of it as showing us the way
Keep it all from sympathy
Your day today your dignity
- Bicycles
Service is suspended
Service shall resume
Service running late again
Service running smooth
Space becomes so lonely, with these feeling of mistrust
Because the monster in the cupboard has made us feel we must
Spot the train, train
- Child
Never as a child
Would you give this time of day
You would take it from the shadows
And you give it another name
But now it's all that's left
And though it awful gentle takes you
- First Love
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
Do you miss home?
Do you miss home?
- Forever I've Known
I’m a child to your voice
To the sound though it can eat me alive
Ten toes and ten fingers
Any sense that I’ve had in this life
Won’t you stay a while kill some time
You know that I’ll make it easy and I know
Know it wouldn’t be forever
Forever I’ve known nothing stays forever
- Go
Left you there in the sunlight
In the sunshine by the windowsill in the kitchen
In light of what was to come it was not enough
Just like the cardboard that covered
The missing panes and cracks in our bedroom windows
We should have known they wouldn't keep out the cold
- Good Old Bill
Spearmint Rhino was taking our money when Gran was robbed of her own life honey.
The driverless hornet last post on the trumpet.
His blind, crippled crumpet don’t like it but lump it.
The engine won’t start without him.
So I went down to Sherry’s mod suits and Paul Weller.
All pork pies and drainpipes to wear in all weather.
All of us shed a tear thinking of yesteryear.
Raise whiskey, raise beer, the old boy is not here.
- Grew Up At Midnight
Outside of the window
I was sticking with you
We were only kids then
We’d get soaked right through
We used to tell them
I was staying at yours
Sheltered in our own worlds
- Happy Faces
Run boy run
Run boy run
Run boy run
Run boy run
Here she comes
Here she comes
She's coming for you
- hearts that strangle
It’s not for the faint hearted
Not for the ones who’ve parted from you
It’s not for you
It’s not for those who gamble
It’s not for hearts that strangle
But you, its’ for you
- Heave
Heave another heave another sigh
We’re the last sons
Thought our heads had locked
Heads have parted ways
So headstrong we’re the last sons
Are we so are we so are we so different
We’re night and day still the same
In the garland frame
- Kiss And Resolve
Begrudgingly I
I cut your hair
And argument it followed there
That's growing old together
Lovers kiss
Let’s kiss, kiss and resolve
So pride aside I clear the air
- Lego
Mum said no to disneyland
and dad loves the church
halluhjah
and the boys chew lego
so now we cant build castles or robots
cause the pieces wont fit together
- Love You Better
Better
Get another coal on the fake fire cover on the wet tiles
On the wet tiles
Better
Running out of of time is gonna cost you more than just your sweet smile
To a sweet smile
And I will love you better
- Marks To Prove It
No one was crying
They simply got a little something in their eye
No one was lonely
They just could not get hold of anybody
Over the summer, a lot changed
And they all changed to keep up with it
Too complicated
Too complex to talk to anybody
- mary
I was in the other room
when hansome was getting leather and laces
couldnt save a family
cause heroes wear masks
and lycra
mary get out
cause your freezing
brother get in
- No Kind Words
Dear friend of mine has broken his union
Broke from tradition
Broken his vision of the future
Alone alone alone
Not alone at all
Dear friend of mine is testing his body
- O.A.V.I.P.
She collects medicines in the box
Where once he had kept his
And holds out hope the year old worries
Will be gone
Long before she goes
So when's your start and when's your end?
The slow depart: happening again
- Pelican
So soon we're too old to carry
We knew we only had a little while
In the middle keep ticking over
Before you know it, parent a parent
To have it all and still want more
One things for sure we're all getting older
So we take a lover waiting in the corner
- precious time
Pound for pound and cheek to cheek
Cheek paler than a lamp light
Take me down to light the box
And play super Scalextric
And turn this
Darkness
Into light
- Seventeen Hands
Call out the soft sound
The four letter word that you found
Call it out
Call out the soft sound
And make it round
Everyone together
Hell for leather over good ground
- the real thing
i'm blowing back the kisses i blew to you before, blew to you before.
and i'm tearing up the letters saying i adore, saying i adore you.
and i will wait for the real thing
i will wait for the real thing.
- Tissue Shoulders
Never cry on your own, never cry
But when you cry
Just try and find some perfect stranger with the tissue shoulders on
'Cos I know the score and it s hard when it s her your crying for
Never go on your own, never go
But when you go
- Toothpaste Kisses
Cradle me
I'll cradle you
I'll win your heart with a woop-a-woo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes
So with toothpaste kisses and lines
I'll be yours and you'll be
Lay with me
- toothpaste kisses.
Cradle me
I'll cradle you
I'll win your heart
With a wit woo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes
So where do we place kisses and lines
- Unknow
Just while love remembers
Unknow me as hard as it seems
Decide it and feel light on the breeze
And it's alright you can lean it on me
And I know it's all you can see and to shake it
To make it fall from the tree
- Wall Of Arms
I woke up with a loved one's eyes upon me
Loved one's arms around me
Oh... She's my one and only
I grew up in the bosom of my family
Eight strong arms around me
Oh... from the seed they've grown me
- We Grew Up At Midnight
Outside of the window
I was sticking with you
We were only kids then
We’d get soaked right through
We used to tell them
I was staying at yours
Sheltered in our own worlds
- X-Ray
She's the flutter in my heart, the spring that's in my step
My empty head
Sees the lump build in my throat, the view in my mind's eye,
My empty heart
She's got her suspicions (x-ray x-ray x-ray x-ray vision)
She's got x-ray vision (x-ray x-ray x-ray x-ray)
And she sees through me with her
- young lions
Roses in the car
Roses in the car
Bony saddle, bony street
Corrugated iron sheet
This bed is not concrete
This bed in which you sleep
Flesh is flesh till blood runs cold
And blood is blood, so I am told
