Barking

Underworld Barking Lyrics
1.Bird 1

Lyricist:Karl Hyde, Richard David Smith

Bat bit and ten
White stick with a red light
Floats past her on the right
White stick on the rock
Roping in the wind
Are you hungry?

Do you know what to eat?
Floating in the blue
I hear you, your voice
It comes out above my head
Close to you, close to you

There is one bird in my house
She said you woke up from a dream
He heard Mama Cass
He felt better if I would
Have known those things

It damped his mood for a second
Then he remembered where he was
He regained his perspective
That felt a lot better

It gets much better
He laid down on his bed
With the front door open
And the sunlight
Flooding into the room, he smelt tire
He laid back listening to a fly

He saw washing hanging in the sun
He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue domed roof

A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying mustache
And a moped started up

Sounding like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled tire again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door

He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed

There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house

He saw washing hanging in the sun
He caught a fleeting glimpse of a man
Moving uphill, pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue domed roof

A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying mustache
And a moped started up

Sounding like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelled tire again
A fly came dim
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door

He watched it cross the room
And get halfway and then it
Turned around and left, he laughed

There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house

There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house


2.Always Loved A Film

Lyricist:Karl Hyde, Richard David Smith

The rhythm, the rhythm
The rhythm, the rhythm

The rhythm of legs moving in the sun
The rhythm of an engine deep and throating
The rhythm of a summer that you walked in

The sound of a barking dog on a loop
A plane rises in crystal blue
The rhythm of keys swinging in your hand
The rhythm of light coming out of your fingers

Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Heaven, heaven

The rhythm of wheels, the rhythm of heels
That we fall into the sun
She walk on silver, she walk on gold
Paints, 'I love you' on the alley walls
For the eyes that hide behind black glasses
Sunlight hits everyone she passes

Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Heaven, heaven

And I don't know if I love you more
Than the way you used to love me
And I don't know if I need you more
Than the way you used to need me but it's

Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Heaven, heaven


3.Scribble

Lyricist:Lincoln Barrett, Karl Hyde, Richard David Smith

And it's okay
And it's okay
You give me everything I need

'Whispers'
'Elevators'
'Bad boy'
'Drive'

'New York girl'
'Bang'
'Weird thing'
'Huge'

'Amazing'
'Download'
'Something'
'Paradise'

And it's okay
You give me everything I need

Whispers, bad boy
Elevator, agitator
New York girl, corkscrew hair

Bang, now
Wanna be, wanna be stars
Through these joyous times

And it's okay
You give me everything I need


4.Hamburg Hotel

(Instrumental)


5.Grace

light up the darkness
I'm violently in love
the waitress smiles
the music's too loud
my body hurts

light up the dark
light up the dark
I'm violently in love
the music's loud
the music's loud
the music's too loud
my body hurts
my body hurts
you leave the room
and just for a second the silence is like a blessing

lovers kiss
lovers whisper
be men and green men
in the underground
in the underground
this is not what I expected

light up the dark
light up the dark
I'm violently in love
the music's loud
the music's loud
my body hurts
you leave the room
you leave the room and just for a second
the silence is
the silence is like a blessing

the rhythm between us trembles
snatching seconds alone with you
and the heat comes from your eyes
and the soft voice falls out the sky

smooth skin
close your eyes
eyes behind glass
smooth skin
close your eyes
and the sky turns red
and the rails slip beneath us

light up (repeat)


6.Between Stars

Lyricist:Karl Hyde, Darren Price, Richard David Smith

I drive too fast
Under a full moon
Save the best to last
Under a full moon

And pray you don't crash
Under a full moon
When the head's too far out of whack
Step back, step back

And the hope of the world
Rides with one man
Everybody crying
On the telephone ringing

We hold our breath
We spin around the world
You and me cling
To the outside of the earth
Under a full moon

I got you on my brain again, again
And I hear your voice
On a northbound bus
Chinatown to Chinatown

And the hope of the world
Rides with one man
Everybody crying
On the telephone ringing

We hold our breath
We spin around the world
You and me cling
To the outside of the earth
Under a full moon

Will you hold my camera?
Will you press release?
Will you capture me?
As the lights go down

And the hope of the world
Rides with one man
Everybody crying
On the telephone ringing

We hold our breath
We spin around the world
You and me cling
To the outside of the earth
Under a full moon

Step back, step back

Don't wait for me, I'm always late
It's in my blood, in the stone
I feel the world go round
I feel the world go round


7.Diamond Jigsaw

And does it hurt
that you finally found yourself
and does it hurt
that you find a bit of wealth
black coffee for my mood
can you make me shine
lonely sweet stuff
come walking
nick of time
don't look at me like a tourist
the dog's got teeth
all the signs are loaded
all the signs are loaded
all the signs are loaded

And does it help
that you finally found yourself
and does it help
that you crawled out of your shell
I wake in a better place
let me in your head
blow your horn in the dark
there's someone there
and there's a white stretch limo parked on
a single line
premium tequila
diamond jigsaw
makes me feel fine

And does it help
that you finally found yourself
and does it help
that you crawled out of your shell
I wake in a better place
let me in your head
blow your horn in the dark
there's someone there

*GUITAR *

And does it help
that you finally found yourself
and does it help
that you crawled out of your shell
I wake in a better place
let me in your head
blow your horn in the dark
there's someone there
and there's a white stretch limo parked on
a single line
premium tequila
diamond jigsaw
makes me feel fine

and does it help (repeat)


8.Moon In Water

Lyricist:Lincoln Barrett, Karl Hyde, Richard David Smith

The phenomenon of moon in the water
Is likened to human experience
The water is the subject and the moon the object
When there is no water, there is no moon in the water
And likewise when there is no moon

But when the moon rises
The water does not wait to receive its image
And even when the tiniest drop of water is poured out
The moon does not wait to cast its reflection

Past is already past
The future's not yet here
Things are constantly changing

For the moon does not intend to cast its reflection
And the water does not receive its image on purpose
The event is caused as much by the water as by the moon
And as the water manifests the brightness of the moon
The moon manifests the clarity of the water


9.Louisiana

Lyricist:Karl Hyde, Richard David Smith

I feel asleep last night
On a roundabout

A cloud of wings
From the glass around you
Light reflects
The sun on your skin

When you touch me
Bullets in conversation
On a crowded train
Quietly violent

When you touch me
Planets in sweet collision
Quietly violent

I fell asleep last night
On the underground

With the light around you
The darkness breaks
Whenever you walk in

When you touch me
Planets in sweet collision
When you touch me
Bullets in conversation
Quietly violent
Quietly violent
