The Beach Song
04:02
|
|||
|
Let the dreams die, let them wither
It'll never happen, that'll never happen
The beach is my place, somewhere to grow up
Washed away with the shingle and the souls
Why do I fall in love with anyone who'll pay me attention
You will sleep, I will write things down
In my head it's never perfect
I can see myself growing old
Years fly by, this beach song is my youth
Why do I think so much? Is it too much time alone?
I'll pull the moon down, I'll fuck your tides up
I'll play this beach song, I'll stop the time flow

Green Eyes
07:10

I found an old notebook today, the pages were filled with lists
And a drawing you had done for me; I remember trying to seem enthused
But I liked that you created things and that you believed in everything
That the world would want to stop, all in spite of you, dear
They're tarmacking up the road again and the leaves are falling down
The sun chose to show its face today, all in spite of you, dear
Your green eyes look up
A book of drunk poetry and a couple of CDs
the novelty bottle opener all wrapped in brown paper
Well I guess I was grateful, I don't know if that was mutual
But just one last phone call, then off into the night with you

Pronunciation
04:13
|

|
The way the sun stuck to your head when you flipped your hair
The way the light bounced off my blade and met your glare
It all means nothing when you're dead
The way you clawed at my shirt when I held your face
The only part I ever enjoyed was the thrill of the chase
It all means nothing when you're dead
It all means shit
The way I presented you to the pigs
That creek will always remind me of my youth
He said "don't disappoint the Lord, my son."
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead to me

Four Fingers And A Thumb
04:18
|
|||
|
I can see your spine through your skin, and it scares me half to death
I've got four fingers and a thumb and it scares me half to death
I can see your face underneath all the so-called make-up and it scares me half to death
It scares me half to death
You don't need to wear glamorous things for me to be obsessed
What do I really know? They say you get wiser with age
It scares me half to death
In this faded light a new one is born into another harsh existence
It scares me half to death

Let It Spin
03:37
|

|
She will have eyes like the river in spring
She will wander the ocean floor
She will rise above the bullshit storm
She will tear the mountains down
There's endless wooden doors, my fists can't break them down
Take my hand and let the globe spin
She will take my hand with a gentle touch
She will lead me out to sea
She will climb the branches of the tallest trees
She will glow a foggy white
Well I'm trapped under the ocean bed
But my bones can set me free
Take my hand and let the globe spin
Well I'm stuck up in the tallest tree
But I don't want to climb back down
So take my hand and let the globe spin

This Aged Ground
05:10
|
|||
|
Dancing down this aged ground, there's three of me to be tamed
So you said, I'll never forget
One twilight chance it flew right past, I still remember because nothing's got better
So you said, I'm looking for a friend
I'm behind evaporated seconds, everybody has grown up so fast
So you said, I'm just having fun
Want some time to fly by, I seem to be a magnet for the cats
So you said, by the swings
And the sky is so open with the stars looking down
Oh what a night dear, Tokoloshe he sang
Inamorata I still need you
Inamorata I still breathe you
Summer's up, September is here, my mind is getting deeper
So you said, in the dark of night
Inamorata I still need you
Inamorata I still breathe you

The Elderly Gentleman
03:56
|
|||
|
Opened eyes a bright white light
Lock the house that theme tune plays
Survey the ground, look for clues
A falling leaf knows the truth
The painted lines hold the key
A cone stands still whilst rubbish moves
Journeying further along the road
I've almost made it to my field
There is where she waits, I'll pull myself over the sties
A force is running under ground, I'm almost free
The donkeys say hello and goodbye
I'm heading down to the river
The bugs have crowded ready for lunch
A broken bottle stabbed in the ground
I know I've lived a joyous life
I close my eyes and fall asleep

Beginning Or End
06:35
|
|||
|
Is this how I'm supposed to feel every time you leave?
Even our special day contained his name
When all this started I was happy; now I'm just lost
Cos if you say you love me, why didn't you just roll his head right off?
When you say you want me, I find it hard to believe
You said you didn't like it when I got drunk and danced around
Well you fucking disrespect me every time you say those words
Can you honestly see a future when you treat me like this?
Can you honestly see a future when you treat me like your bitch?
Honey I just wanted to be your one
Beginning or end? I think we both know which it is

Sea Change
04:29
|
|||
|
She asked you to be careful, she packed you a lunch box too
But you paid little attention, went on swimming through
Then that current it got you, there's no time left to breathe
That poor little boy, his mother she blames herself
She put her flowers down, an article in the news
Is what her son's reduced to; the pain it grows with age
That poor little boy, his mother she blames herself
The sea will change it will
