Heaven & Heartbreak
04:07
|
|||
|
I wake up in the morning before sunrise
In the in-between
Preserving in the seconds that it stays
A most perplexing dream
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why I do stupid things
So now I’ll just wait for your letter
Or the phone to ring
Can I stay in the space between heartbreak and hope
And feast on these transient feelings?
Can I shrug and pretend that my dreams are a joke
In the hours between heaven and heartbreak
I know that I’m a dreamer, classic Libra
Wishing on a star
But I’ll follow the romantic heart of mine
No matter how bizarre
I want to know the moments you are ugly
In your comfort zone
And hear what voice you’d use
When you know that you’re alone
Can I stay in the space between heartbreak and hope
And feast on these transient feelings?
Can I shrug and pretend that my dreams are a joke
In the hours between heaven and heartbreak
But you said if you can win
Then anyone can do anything
And I’ll take you at your word
Can I stay in the space between heartbreak and hope
And feast on these transient feelings?
Can I shrug and pretend that my dreams are a joke
In the hours between heaven and heartbreak
In the hours between heaven and heartbreak

Incredible Games

If Id never met you what would I have to be sad about?
Darling you can play some incredible games
If Id never met you what would I have to be sad about?
Darling you can play some incredible games
Look at you
Handsome
It’s easy to see why you are stumped
A puzzle
By the poolside
Bucks fizz, sunshine then buy me lunch
I would take you almost anywhere
You’re neat enough to fit inside my heart
I would take you almost anywhere
You’re near enough to fit inside my heart
Come closer
If Id never met you what would I have to be sad about?
Darling you can play some incredible games
If Id never met you what would I have to be sad about?
Darling you can play some incredible games
Sunglasses
Sun cream
And slip furious arms into a shirt
Pull down my cap
Hide my eyes
I must protect myself from being burnt
I would fly you almost anywhere
To find a quiet spot beneath a palm
I would fly you almost anywhere
Sandy beaches, rum spilled, somewhere warm
If Id never met you what would I have to be sad about?
Darling you can play some incredible games
If Id never met you what would I have to be sad about?
Darling you can play some incredible games

meet me tonight, meet me wherever you like
cos not knowing you is killing me slowly
meet me tonight I’ll come to wherever you choose
it’s nothing to you when i’ve got everything to lose
i’d forgive you anything
i’d forgive you anything
and i would give you anything
but now you’re killing me slowly
meet me tonight, tell me if i’m right
is this real electricity? if not i’m going crazy
i wanna break you in two with how much i want you
if love could be a lightning bolt i’d strike you down right where you stand
I'd forgive you anything
id forgive you anything
i would give you anything
but now you’re killing me slowly
don’t you tell me those words mean nothing
you crook your finger and i come running
touch me softly, pull me aside
I'll tell you truly you are always on my mind
Whisper to me, if you feel lonely
The worlds a movie for one day only
be the reason I fall from the sky
I’ll tell you truly, you are always on my mind
I would give you anything
I would give you anything
I would give you anything
But now you're killing me slowly

Pretend Love
02:25

Pretend love got me overwhelmed
Pretend love got me overwhelmed
I want you
Daybreak on your sandy isle
Sunsoaked friend or shedding reptile?
I want you
I wanted to say so many things
I wanted to say so much more
Why not here and why not me?
Intimidated by your history
Why not me
My feelings for you curve and warp
What lovely creature came before
With what backstory?
I wanted to say so many things
I wanted to say so much more

4.20 in the morning when I call to you
I haven't been to bed yet
I dont really know you
In the blue light of the TV screen
Im so glad that you're not asleep
Sitting in your kitchen light
Watching spiders late at night
4.50 in the morning
When I call to you
Running down in darkness
I don't really know you
Come meet me by the riverside
We'll dance until the morning light
I kiss you in the quiet dark
Reciprocate and feel the spark
5.30 in the morning
With your hand in mine
Where the wild flowers grow
I'm dressed for the night
There's no questions to be asked
How long will this moment last?
Passers by who stop and talk
It takes an hour just to walk
August folding quickly
As the weather cools
Horse chestnut on the pavement
We leave it on the wall
And let mother nature do her work
Open to love, open to hurt
Where this goes no one can say
We'll wake up on bank holiday

Best Bitches
02:57

Esther
She buys me cards
And I stick them to my fridge
She buys me so many cards
I’m running out of magnets
Night time when she closes the blinds
Some times I transmit her QI
But being so close to my friend
And not just neighbour
Neighbour
Esther, you are beautiful
Inside and out
Your happiness is my happiness
What did I do before I knew you?
Esther you are beautiful
Inside and out
Your happiness is my happiness
What did I do before I knew you?
Hear our cultural exchange
We’ll drink Kraken on the sofa
And oh my god, she has the best taste
I wont form a playlist without her
But seriously, she listens to my problems
And seriously lets take a stroll about it
And what’s a crew without this best bitch?
Nah
There’s no doubt about it
Esther, you are beautiful
Inside and out
Your happiness is my happiness
What did I do before I knew you?
Esther you are beautiful
Inside and out
Your happiness is my happiness
What did I do before I knew you?

Walk On The Bedrock
04:11
|

|
January, like the last one
Mild and grey in your Saturday skies
A loop I walked back in times of hunger
I feel us both waiting, much to my surprise
Concrete and buildings dissolve and are replaced
The peel of the paint and the dead crack of trees
There’s a soul who engulfed me and never released me
I see us up in the distance, and we’re both on our knees
Walk on the bedrock, you are the foundations
You are the blocks on which I built my home
When I walk on the bedrock, and you walk beside me
Do I just wish it, or am I never alone?
Walking here in the shadow of spirits
I would swear blind I saw you lean there
On the concrete pillar of a night in the winter
a glint in your eye and the smoke in your hair
Free and easy, not like the present
Difficult stories that never quite fade
As leaves blow around me, sad daylight surrounds me
The hint of your sweat on a hot summers day
This is where life happened to me
This is where I drank til i was sick
this is where I chose white t shirts
Blue jeans, blue jeans
This is where I made my choices
They might be dumb but they’re my choices
and I’d do it
I’d do it again to be with you
And to do right by you
Walk on the bedrock, you are the foundations
You are the blocks on which I built my home
When I walk on the bedrock, and you walk beside me
Do I just wish it, or am I never alone?

So you're bitter, or just don't care
I am in a thousand pieces
Crashing down an escalator
Pushing a trolley
So things here are not good
Thought it was me that was callous, seems its him now
And this is my life
Things here are not good
Doesn't mean they'd change for your face
Seeing you so happy
Why would I wanna do that?
You say 'come on over' but I can't slide down that hill
It's not that I would change things now
But the thought of you and her
Makes me ill
So things here are not good
Thought it was me that was callous, seems its him now
And this is my life
Things here are not good
Doesn't mean they'd change for your face
Seeing you so happy
Why would I wanna do that?

Quietly
03:25
|
|||
|
You pull me closer towards you then push me away
You stare me down like I’m something you want
I can’t keep hoping for miracles from you
I can’t keep hoping you’ll love me like I love you
Quietly become something I’m used to
Quietly you stop causing the rush
Quietly you slip into the background
Quietly it stops hurting so much
Drifting in the same whirlpool we circle the drain
And time has made up her mind, I can’t look at your face
Sometimes late in the night my soul reaches for you
Am I hoping you miss me like I miss you?
Quietly become something I’m used to
Quietly you stop causing the rush
Quietly you slip into the background
Quietly it stops hurting so much
Back in the yard
with your foot against the wall
I can see you fold, over and over again
Cars drive past, flash and puddle splash
As you wait for it over and over again

What Comes Next?
01:00
|
|||
|
The day after the party
Cleaning up the mess
Green bin for the bottles
Landfill for the rest
And the nibbling of the fishes at the edges of your consciousness
That was a night to remember
What comes next?
