Can We Go
04:02
|
|||
Maybe it’s just my face
Maybe my turn of phrasing
Maybe it’s just because
Why it’s happening
One of a thousand things
Quietly calculating
If I do
If I don’t
Probabilities
Or is it just because I can’t ignore the irony
Watching the target sprouting arms and firing back at me
Can we go
Can we go much further
Can we go can we body and soul
Long before
Long before I found it
I just wanted to know
Can we go
Can we go much higher
Double hang time keep it under control
Let me go
Let me fall down from it
I just wanted to know
Virtual aftertaste from
Digital recreation
Safe to say, safe to say it’s not happening..yet
Show me the realest things
Not the approximation
Tell me more, front to back, black to white through all the grey
Run down the clock still clinging to the rocks of irony
Watching the target sprouting arms and firing back at me
Can we go
Can we go much further
Can we go can we body and soul
Long before
Long before I found it
I just wanted to know
Can we go
Can we go much higher
Double hang time keep it under control
Let me go
Let me fall down from it
I just wanted to know
Why, trying to fall
Trying to fly
Why can’t we pick one the same one why
Trying to fall
Trying to fly
Trying them both at the same time why
Trying to fall…
Can we go
Can we go much further
Can we go can we body and soul
Long before
Long before I found it
I just wanted to know
Can we go
Can we go much higher
Double hang time keep it under control
Let me go
Let me fall down from it
I just wanted to know
I just wanted to know
I just wanted to know
I just wanted to know
I just wanted to know

Brand New Bike
04:33
|

Bought a brand new bicycle
Painted evergreen and gold
From the pedals to the spokes
That thing was beautiful
But the best thing to come out
Of it was without a doubt
I could be with you within about a half an hour
So I’m cycling long the road
Where to think you already know
No tunes pumping a stereo
Just me whistling as I go
The traffic sits
While I’ve been ducking in and out
Thinking ‘bout how you’ve been
How many days
How many hours
Wear through the chain
I’ll burn through the tyres
I can’t wait till we’re alone
I’m getting out of here
On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
I don’t need no chemicals
But I’d fail doping controls
Not the way that Lance would though
Endorphin overload
Cos I’m only half a mile
From your pretty face so I’m
Burning calories like roman candles in November skies
How many days
How many hours
Wear through the chain
I’ll burn through the tyres
I can’t wait till we’re alone
I’m getting out of here
On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
Sat behind a bus for a tow
Hit 30 mph ’til it slows
On the way from my house to you
Working basis you need to know been dreaming about you
Cos all I see
Is someone who’s the spitting image of you when I sleep
How many days
How many hours
Wear through the chain
I’ll burn through the tyres
I can’t wait till we’re alone
I’m getting out of here
On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike

Smile
03:12
|

Smiling
I’ll be working
To keep you
Smiling
I’ll try all night
To make you smile
The corners of your mouth are sore
Muscles memory recalls
Something that you did before me
Necessary air and light
Water food and love sometimes
Your sometimes used to include me
You’ve drawn the line cos
It isn’t worth all
The anger and the apathy
My ego won’t hurt
To compromise though
It’s worth it if I still get to see
To see you
Smiling
I’ll be working
To keep you
Smiling
I’ll try all night
Crazy stupid comedy
Every word I’m collecting
Add them to the armoury
Evidence or alchemy
Personalised poetry
Yours if it eventually means
That I get to see you
Smiling
I’ll be working
To keep you
Smiling
I’ll try all night
I don’t want you any other way
Than smiling bout the time you’re spending
I don’t want you any other way
Than smiling bout the time we’re spending
I don’t want you any other way
Than smiling bout the time you’re spending
I don’t want you any other way than
Any other way
Smiling
I’ll be working
To keep you
Smiling
I’ll try all night
Just keep on
Smiling
I’ll be working
To keep you
Smiling
I’ll try all night
Just keep on
I don’t want you any other way
Than smiling bout the time you’re spending
I don’t want you any other way
Than smiling bout the time we’re spending
Smiling
I’ll be working
To keep you
Smiling
I’ll try all night
To make you smile

Escape Key
03:52
|
|||
Might as well write out the instructions in the sand
Cos we’ll never read them as long as we’re changing plans
Feeling it out instead a complicated dance
As long as we enter low lit places heart to heart
You’re my escape key
You’re the one who teaches me
How to quit or leave
It all behind me
I’m an on off key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off key
You’re my escape key
I think that I heard somewhere that you’ll get back
All that you put in back
As long as you breathe
Or is it my memory that’s out of whack
Cos didn’t we say hold back
But with a capital W I see
You’re my escape key
You’re the one who teaches me
How to quit or leave
It all behind me
I’m an on off key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off key
You’re my escape key
Drawing spaces
Separated
Further in between
Coloured pages
Overrated
Life like magazines
Capable but a nagging sense of incomplete
Probably cos we don’t always say how we feel
Out of our mouths an entire library of nouns
Found all of the doors and the exit signs
But still no way out
That’s until I found
You’re my escape key
You’re the one who teaches me
How to quit or leave
It all behind me
I’m an on off key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off key
You’re my escape key
You’re my escape key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off
I’m on or off
On or off
You’re my escape key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off key
You're my escape key
My escape key
My escape key

Dangerous 2
03:54
|

She didn't know danger
She didn't need fear
All that really mattered is the now and here
I couldn’t go closer
With everything else
Sticking to my circle talking to myself
If you
Turn around a bit and learn to laugh a little
You might turn to somebody else but yourself
Theres no alibi for
Leaving her behind
Bottle views and everyone suffers
Cos it’s not dangerous moving in and out her scene
But my hearts in my mouth whenever she’s near me
And I’ve tried to find the reason I can hardly speak
And if she’s ever been out there wondering what about me
I put it on paper
So that I can’t cheat
Stating my intention to go up and speak
I wanted to show her
That I could be sure
Lose my outer armour
Raise my inner sword
If you walk around a bit and
Put it off a little
She'll be found with somebody else but yourself
You won’t turn the tide if you don’t know desire
And you’re more flawed than ever you thought of
Cos it’s not dangerous moving in and out her scene
But my hearts in my mouth whenever she’s near me
And I’ve tried to find the reason I can hardly speak
And if she’s ever been out there wondering what about me
I’m digging a bigger hole every time my mouth closes
I'm treading a finer line from the past I'm still living in
I try to reserve my words rest assured there in their chamber
But never could I quickdraw fast enough to know
Turn around turn around
What’s this run away about
I can’t get my point across from back in my bedroom
She may not be so in to me, to know I’ve got to speak
Someone’s gonna tell her
Making sure it’s me
Making sure
Cos it’s not dangerous moving in and out her scene
But my hearts in my mouth whenever she’s near me
And I’ve tried to find the reason I can hardly speak
And if she’s ever been out there wondering what about me
It’s not dangerous
But my hearts in my mouth when
And I’ve tried to find
If she’s ever been out there wondering what about me

Telephone
03:57
|

Stuck inside a bubble
Day and night
First signal of trouble
Out of sight
Bruises but no explanation why
Which one’s had it tougher
Heart or mind
Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to 1
Talk to me ‘bout it or stare at your telephone
Words escape the bubble
Smallest kind
Sentences a struggle
Most the time
Confusion intention or surprise
Which one’s had it tougher
Heart or mind
Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to 1
Talk to me ‘bout it or stare at your telephone
Say
Say that you you don't wonder
Say that you don't think
Try my best believe you
While my stomach’s telling me
Something in the cold light
Isn't as it seems
How hard does it have to be
To abandon the bubble please
Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to one
Talk to me 'bout it or stare at your phone
Why do you pour
Why do you pour
Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to one
Talk to me 'bout it or stare at your telephone

Mechanical
03:32

Too mechanical I was too mechanical telling you
There’s a glow at the Einstein limit
All around you round you round you round you
Soon as I stopped counting time ticking
Then I found you found you found you found you
I wanna tell you but I can’t let it show
Cos it’s illogical
So I’ll be sat contending with a terminal flow
Of frozen syllables
Too mechanical I was too mechanical talking to you
Too mechanical I was too mechanical telling you
Too mechanical I was too mechanical talking to you
Too mechanical too mechanical telling you
What we oughta do ain’t unusual
Cos I’m 1 you’re 1 we add up 2
Between then and now consonants and vowels
And I've got I’ve got I’ve got no clue
And when I finally tell you every word hurts
Me more that probably you
It’s like my quick wittedness split without a curfew
And I sound like a two frame cartoon 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1
Too mechanical I was too mechanical talking to you
Too mechanical I was too mechanical telling you
Too mechanical I was too mechanical talking to you
Too mechanical too mechanical telling you
I don’t want to know
If I’m getting through
All I want to know
Is when
There’s a glow at the Einstein limit
All around you round you round you round you
Soon as I stopped counting time ticking
Then I found you found you found you found you
It’s like I’m caught inside a infinite loop
My tongue releases lead balloons
My cybernetic wires shorting out they’re no use
Whenever I’m on the same planet as you
Too mechanical I was too mechanical talking to you
Too mechanical I was too mechanical telling you
Too mechanical I was too mechanical talking to you
Too mechanical too mechanical telling you
I don’t want to know
If I’m getting through
All I want to know
Is when

A Word Away
04:09
|
|||
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate
I need you like there’s no tomorrow
I need you like there’s no-one left but you
We're caught dwelling on the thought of it all the time
I need time just to catch my breath
Haven’t got an answer yet
Am I gonna see you there
Wish I knew the word you’re thinking
We take turns chapter verse put the world to right
It’s OK but it's not the way that I
Had hoped lines with you crossed origami style
Not too late we’re word away
Haven’t got an answer yet
Am I gonna see you there
Depends on the the word you say
What comes next
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate
My leg’s quivering and my hearts pumping head to toe
It’s no joke if your answers no
All that I
Can think about is the last time I couldn't see your smile
Close range took the sight away
Haven't got an answer yet
Am I gonna see you there
Depends on the the word you say
What comes next
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate
We’re only one word
Just one word
Just one word
We’re only one word
Only one word
Only one word
We’re only one word
Just one word
Just one word
We’re only one word
Only one word…
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate

My Appetite Mind
03:50
|
|||
Been one of those days
In the same old city
When everything tastes
Likes it’s going off
And even the bass in my car
Don’t lift me up
I’m losing my appetite
My appetite mind
Too steep
Dig deep
Slower feet
Than the tin man creeping up behind you
Slow week
Talk cheap
Join the heap of the caveman’s tongues still sat reciting
Oh real and world
Why do they keep on joining up cold
I thought we had
a better plan
But it’s been one of those days
In the same old city
When everything tastes
Likes it’s going off
And even the bass in my car
Don’t lift me up
I’m losing my appetite
My appetite mind
Glass brick
Tree stick
Take a picture
The painting won’t last that much longer
Cheek Jowl
Low brow
Power down
And the last text left a strange aroma
No no no
No no no
From a negativity perspective
Yeh yeh yeh
yeh yeh yeh
Take a positivity suppressant
Cos you don’t wanna wear a yellow shirt
Unless you know it’s gonna end up like before
The brightest gold
But it’s been one of those days
In the same old city
When everything tastes
Likes it’s going off
And even the bass in my car
Don’t lift me up
I’m losing my appetite
My appetite mind
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do
Cos you don’t wanna ever lose focus
Cos you’ll end up like before
Forget the gold
Oh real and world
Why do they keep on joining up cold
I thought we had
a better plan
But it’s been one of those days
In the same old city
When everything tastes
Likes it’s going off
And even the bass in my car
Don’t lift me up
I’m losing my appetite
My appetite mind
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you got to do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you got
Do what you got
Do what you got
Do what you got to do

Love, Hate and Caffeine
03:59
|
|||
Plenty of time
Plenty of time
Isn’t where it’s at no more
Cos nearer the time
Nearer the time
Translated
Never never never
We’ve been
Living on just
Three things
On love on hate and caffeine
Between three things
We’ve been living
Those three
Love hate and caffeine
Aching for the sake of aching
Hurting from the wrong advice
Argue for the sake of arguing your guess as good as mine
Saying for the sake of saying
Something for the sake of nothing
Waiting for the sake of breaking everything nearer the time
We’ve been
Living on just
Three things
On love on hate and caffeine
Between those things
We’ve been living
Those three
Love hate and caffeine
NO……
Don’t need an hour
Won’t take a minute
Don’t need a novel
Even a note
I want the real thing something to show
We’ve got the hunger
Not gonna settle
We’ve got the steel
Not gonna break
We’ve got the real thing
All that it takes
I don’t even know what I was doing ’til I saw you
I don’t even know where I went wrong or how to stop you
I don’t even know what I was doing ‘til I saw you
I don’t even know what knowing means
What knowing means
Anymore, anymore, anymore
We’ve been
Living on just
Three things
On love on hate and caffeine
Between those things
We’ve been living
Those three
Love hate and caffeine
Bad dream bad dream bad dream
Maybe it’s just been a bad dream
Bad dream
If it’s up to me I’d have no sleep
On my way to see
On my way to see you

The Recipe
05:49
|
|||
Don’t understand what’s keeping you over
Your voice has taken over me
Can’t tell how long it’s been since I told you
Let’s turn tonight into a week
It’s not up to me
Up to me
If it’s meant to be
It’s meant to me
I’d give anything
Anything
For the recipe
For the recipe
Someone tried telling me it’s contagious
Or wear them down ‘til they agree
Better than being of no opinion
The standard let’s just wait and see
It’s not up to me
Up to me
If it’s meant to be
It’s meant to me
I’d give anything
Anything
For the recipe
For the recipe
Some kind of magic
Some kind of key
Somewhere the window supposedly leads
Something that still hurts when it's going right
Something to hold on tight
To hold on tight
To
Back of my mind making it’s way forward
Reasons you spend your time with me
Summon my last ounces of composure
Is it only me beginning to think slower
Some kind of magic
Some kind of key
Somewhere the window supposedly leads
Something that still hurts when it’s going right
Something to hold on tight
To hold on tight
To
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking
Am I just overthinking things
Some kind of magic
Some kind of key
Somewhere the window supposedly leads
Something that hurts you despite going right
Something to hold on tight
To hold on tight
To
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking
Am I just overthinking things
Anything
Anything
Anything
Anything

3 Chilis
03:26
|
|||
Somewhere in the fridge
Your secret ingredient
With a little kick
Tried a couple things
Each of them been missing
Your special little hit
Cos I know that you put more loving inside
One slither or a slice
Than I know that I’ll ever try
Stick don’t wanna twist
Cos your red hot cooking
Keeps pulling me in
Oh every time
Three chilis are better than one in
Your kitchen
No doubting
Three chilis are better than one in
Your kitchen
What’s cooking?
Three chilis are better than one
Inside your kitchen
How are we doing?
Pretty cool to me that you’re
Not just serving it straight up on a plate
Cliched as it is
It’ll be worth waiting
For the flavours to hit their highest taste
Cos something as subtle as loving inside
Your cooking gets by
Most eyes without a second smile
Your general chill’s
Just a slick diversion
From the fire that lights your fryer inside
Three chilis are better than one in
Your kitchen
No doubting
Three chilis are better than one in
Your kitchen
What’s cooking?
Three chilis are better than one in
Your kitchen
No doubting
Three chilis are better than one
Inside your kitchen
How are we doing?
I don’t even care if its baked or griddled
Or stir fried simple or plain old microwaved
Only thing my culinary skills can say
Is that it came just one way
From the heart
From the heart
From the heart
From the heart
Three chilis are better than one in
Your kitchen
No doubting
Three chilis are better than one
Inside your kitchen
What’s cooking?
Three chilis are better than one inside
Your kitchen
How are we doing?
Three chilis are better than one
Inside your kitchen
How are we doing?
They’re better than one
They’re better than one
They’re better than one
They’re better than one
They’re better than one
They’re better than one
They’re better than one
They’re better than one
