Unglued
03:00
|
|||
|
Evade until away from
Rectangle faces talking in circles
Hours stretch so long
Always complaining
When nothing's wrong
Running away
Claustrophobic room shoved me next to you
World interrupted
Purple light pulsing
Don't let it blur
Did you lose yourself
Deep in the whir
I lost myself
It's all come unglued
Never not think about you
I was sprinting
It buckled my knees
Did it buckle yours too
Running away
You can stop running away
What can I do

Fuzzworld
03:39

|
Found ourselves separate
Watching from a window
When you're in the heart of it
How do you know
Never-ending chest puffed out cool
Stay up later than you
Go faster
Then self-satisfied so wise seeing through
Slow down
Go faster
Slow down
Go faster
Slow down
Can I lean on you again
Yeah I know you know
Whatever state I'm in

What's the Matter?
03:04
|
|||
|
Underneath the day
You're your own police
Sinking in a moment
Better left forgotten
No curse on you
No hex on me
Motivational speaker phrase
That leaves you as cold as I do
What's the matter
What's the matter
Burns in your hand
Let it drop
Could the voice in the air
Please stop asking the time
And what's the matter

Cartoon Sun
03:58
|
|||
|
Cartoon sun
Came flooding in
And onto
Flowers in the sink
I come around
Walk inside out
Through space you're in
Only half-heartedly asking
And I'm the child pretending
To be sick in the bin
So no-one would catch me laughing
In indigo
And even though
It falls to pieces when I think I know
Noise from the hall
Did I miss your call
Just fall into place and I won't ask for more

Something You'd Say
03:59
|
|||
|
Headlines that I'm not in
Long story don't worry
Tell somebody else
Or yourself when alone
And lie about sleeping in
Ignoring the morning
Then clearing your throat
As you pick up the phone
What sounds like something you'd say
I'm trying to picture
The kinds of moves that you'd make
All then some then less and less of you
A stupid turn of phrase
Questions not worth asking
Hardly ever looked
Even when I was shown
You saw a hell to pay
A glow to bask in
I saw you signing along
To a stranger's ringtone
What sounds like something you'd say
I'm trying to picture
The kinds of moves that you'd make
All then some then less and less of you

Vending Machine
03:50
|
|||
|
Clanging dull metal gates
Been caught running
27 Seconds late
Retail park
Faceless estate
Always always
Whatever you say
Always
Leaving soon
Said the same thing too
Probably just a phase
Now it's always
Always
Don't you want to meet
Inside hostile architecture
Spikes under our feet
In case someone needs to sleep
Always always
Whatever you say
Always
Nothing to do with me
Prove you're one of the team
Get access to a vending machine
Always
On the delayed trains
The roundabouts and motorways
Sweet wrappers thrown away
Always always always

As I Was Leaving
02:35
|
|||
|
Someone came in as I was leaving
Thought the room would at least sway
But when you're nowhere to be found
It keeps its shape anyway
Felt you creeping up behind me
Reflection gave the game away
Then your arms came wrapping around
I feigned surprise anyway
|

Superb Tattoo
04:24
|
|||
|
Feels true sounds like a lie
Looks like a living room
Looks like a changing mind
There's a ghost car doing laps outside
And a beautiful view
What a disgrace
Couldn't be sincere
What if they laughed in your face
That's quite a bad tattoo
It would've sounded rude
It's actually a superb tattoo
At the house next to the house next to the house where you live
If I wasn't walking backwards
I'd invite myself in
What a disgrace
I kept my head down
Still got punched in the face though
|

Yeah Yeah
03:20
|
|||
|
Ruins your sleep
Takes up space everywhere
Wanted to get it across and you
Watch it fall in mid-air
Pretend we're in a film
Didn't we breathe easily
Oh no could have been anybody
Saying something that had never occurred to me
Didn't hear a thing you said
Yeah yeah I know what you mean
Leave it
Fine by me
Perceive as we want to
From a bubble
Haven't you heard the news
Pretend we're in a film
I'm gonna breathe easily
Voice low oh no I'm nobody
Laugh at everything that's never occurred to me
When it all comes out wrong
Yeah yeah you know what I mean
Pretend we're in a film
We're gonna breathe easily
Spinning round in the dark with somebody
Who cares how you thought it was supposed to be
Exist belong
Yeah I know what you mean

Us
03:41
|
|||
|
If I stay close to your fate
I'll collapse a lung
Used to get lost in the days that you'd make
As if I'm the only one
Lazy unthinking
I turned and refused
Any way I phrase it
Embarrassing excuse
But in the fog I see better
Graffiti on us all
From when we moved together
Lip gloss and alcohol
It's going to come to me
Turn around and face the sun
And I'm going to be
Everything and everyone
