1.First Train Home
I've got to get on it.
I've got to get on it.
I've got to get on it.
Bodies disengaged,
our mouths are fleshing over.
It's just an echo game,
irises retreating to ovals of white.
The urge to feel your face,
and blood rushing to paint my handprint.
A Frisbee one by one; your vinyl on lamanent,
just prefer some kind of contact.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
To Catch, to catch, catch-catch, catch.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First Train home
Temporal deadzone where
clocks are barely breathing.
yet no one cares to notice for all the yelling,
all night clamor to hold it together.
I want to play--don't wait--forms in the hideaway
I want to get on with getting on with things
I want to run in fields, paint the kitchen,
and love someone
And I can't do any of that here, can I？
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First train home, I've got to get on it.
First Train home.
So what？ You've had one too many.
So what？ I'm not that much fun to be with.
So what？ You've come silly hatter.
So what？ I didn't want to come here, anyway.
What matters you,
doesn't matter, matter to me.
What matters to me,
doesn't matter, matter to you.
What matters to you,
doesn't matter, matter to them.
What matters to them,
doesn't change anything.
Got to get on it.
First train home.
Got to get on it.
First train home.
First train home I've got to get on it
(I've got to get on it)
To catch, to catch, catch-catch, catch.
(First train home)
First train home I've got to get on it
First train home.
(First train home)
To go, To go, To go,
Get, Get, Get, Get,
Out, Out, Out, Out,
Now, Now, Now, Now.
2.Wait It Out
Where do we go from here？
How do we carry on？
I can't get beyond the questions.
Clambering for the scraps
in the shatter of us collapsed.
It cuts me with every could-have-been.
Pain on pain on play, repeating
With the backup makeshift life in waiting.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow？
The endless in-between？
Are we just going to wait it out？
There's nothing to see here now,
turning the sign around;
We're closed to the Earth 'til further notice.
Clambering for the scraps,
clambering in the light.
We're closed to the Earth 'til further...
An all-out one, only one street-level miracle.
I'll be a an out-and-out,
born again from none more cynical.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow？
The endless in-between？
Are we just going to wait it out？
And sit here cold？
Look, you'll be long gone by then.
And lackluster in dust we lay
'round old magazines.
Fluorescent lighting sets the scene
for all we could and should being
in the one life that we've got.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow？
The endless in-between？
Are we just going to wait it out？
And sit here cold？
Just going to sweat it out？
And sit here cold？
Just going to sweat it out？
Wait it out.
3.Earth
Baby, behave, we'll make it work ~~~
Are you with me？ ~~
You're not golden
And I'm getting tired
Act like you own the place
When really you've only just arrived
I caught first glimmers
In hides and skins
Look who's all grown up
Black swanning about the solar winds
You're gonna lose it all
And find yourself on your knees
So, get a grip and you might
Flow, reverse the great, slow bleed
I've tried patience, but
You always want a war
This house won't tolerate any more
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
The cold shoulder
Folded arms and looking up
You've never listened
And carry on careless, regardless
This is not a fire drill and
If we hold any hope
It's harmonic connection
And stereos in biosis
Choking out mine now
You're everywhere, everywhere
Multiplying around me, child
A strain on my heart
This rock can't tolerate any more
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
Baby, behave, we'll make it work ~~~
(Baby, do you love me？)~~
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh (yeh)
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
Back
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now
Are you with me？
Are you with me？
Are you with me？
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
Back
4.Little Bird
Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you hear？
The clink of morning cheers
Orange juice concentrate
Crossword puzzles start to grade
One across
Four letter word, it's just not sitting
Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you see？
A picture perfect scene
Two toned lawns are manicured
The gardens wearing haute couture
It's hiding something
It's trying too hard
Hiding something
It's trying too hard
Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where are they now？
Day time tv lounge
A carriage clock, a mantle piece
A family wiped up, j cloth cleaned
Unsaid, festers in the throws of the sofa
Little bird, little bird, little bird
How are you feeling？
Like help in quarantine
Pearly whites, touch down smile
Haps and creases round the eyes
Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen
Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen
Little bird, little bird, little bird
What can we do？
A think tank think rescue
Simon says, etch a sketch
Send a golden message only he would get
Quickly now
Cause this is not how it ends
Little bird, little bird, little bird
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
Well I've got one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
Well I've just one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest
One more question
I'll let it rest
I swear I'll let it rest
Got one more question
(And I swear I'll let it rest)
I've got one more question
Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where have you gone？
5.Swoon
Your name in lights
Vibrating to your ringtone
My world begins to dance
We discuss important stuff
The rendezvous is set up
To catch a film and dinner
Stuck in a cinema or saving me from a car
You'll suddenly realize and fall into my arms
Working you undercover, softly slowly got ya
Any moment now you're gonna swoon into my arms
The same you, the same me
Spoon feeding the ground dark soil
A friend too good to go there with
(Shake it up and get it on)
Oh well I know you know you do
And maybe you've not said in so many words
You've always got your reasons
You're right, little know it all
Stuck in a cinema or saving me from a car
You'll suddenly realize and fall into my arms
Working you undercover, softly slowly got ya
Any moment now you're gonna swoon
Let me be the great scott,
tip top pit stop in your ocean!
I could be the shipmate's wife
Got you down and dirty with the lotion
This is where I was going to sing your name
Over and over again
But I chickened out and I thought a minute
Cause I thought you probably wouldn't like it
Swoon and fall into my arms
Let me be the great scott,
tip top pit stop in your ocean
I could be the shipmate's wife
Got you down and dirty with the lotion!
Let me be the great scott,
tip top pit stop in your ocean
I could be the shipmate's wife
Got you down and dirty with the lotion!
6.Tidal
Before electric light,
You paddled through the soup of
darkness as a crocodile,
Cherry picking in the river,
I would leave crisp note
footprints at the Bankside
Watch it closely you will see it begin to move
Watch it closely you see it begin to flicker
While we're here, let's see what happens
What we got, got to loose
(what we got to loose)
While we're tidal and flexed on a full moon
It'd be a sure, sure shame to not to
In every wonder what you are
I've blurted everything I know
just for a piece of it
Flash frozen, patchworked and fallow
I sprung up in hearts and arrow superhighways
Watch it closely you will see it begin to move
Watch it closely you see it begin to flicker
Do what you feel just how you like
Nobody has to know
Do what you feel just how you like
Nobody has to know
Watch, watch...watch...watch, watch...
What we got to loose...
While we're here, let's see what happens
What we got, got to loose
While we're tidal and flexed on a full moon
It'd be a sure, sure shame to not to
Do it for England
Do it for love
Do it for us
Do it for goodness sake
Do it for all the times
We wished we had
Do what you want, just how you like
Nobody has to know
Do what you want, just how you like
Nobody has to know
7.Between Sheets
You and me between the sheets
It just doesn't get better than this
The many windswept yellow stickies of my mind
Are the molten emotional front line
I couldn't care less
I'm transfixed in this absolute bliss
Sweet sleepless, tumbling night
Oh, and the morning on the your skin
and loved up light
Tracing patterns in the maze of your back
Softly, softly the goose bumps like that
And then a kiss
Maybe another,
and another one
8.2 - 1
Imogen Heap - 2-1
First the Earth was flat
But it fattened up when we didn't fall off
Now we spin laps around the Sun
Oh the gods lost 2-1
The host of Heaven pointed out to us
from lightyears away
We're surrounded by a billion galaxies
Things are not always,
things are not always how they seem
will you be ready
(will you be ready？)
The interim of life has got you tiptoed
and pinning all your hopes
on the top dog of dreams
You're not alone in this
The pollyfilla way looks strong
in the weakness of the gaps
Things are not always,
things are not always how they seem
They don't turn out always,
don't quite turn out always how we think
Will we be ready
(will we be ready？)
I'm dying to know what's in your head
I'm dying to know how it all got in there
I'm dying to know, to help
make some sense of it all
I'm dying to know, tell me is it my fault？
I care about you darling
and I care about you
cause I care about you more than anyone else
Things are not always,
things are not always how they seem
They don't turn out always,
don't quite turn out always how we think
Will we be ready？
9.Bad Body Double
She pops into the bathroom
Just after a shower and
She plays with my makeup and creams
Keeps trying to look like me
And goes through the motions
Posing this way and that,
Holding it in,
If it makes you feel better,
then knock yourself out
Say hi there to my bad body double
This is my bad body double trouble
Oh no, my bad body double, mmmhm
I've got bad body double trouble, oh.
She's trouble
She's trouble
She's trouble, alright.
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes I manage to lose her
Shake her at a bar, in the gym for five minutes
It feels so good to be back to my own self again
Can get quite confusing.
We look very similar except
she's got some grays and
a little extra weight on the sides
And dimply thighs,
I hear that stuff's a bitch to get rid off
(No, no, no, no)
We're having quite an intimate,
personal moment (not now)
Could you maybe come at a slightly
less awful time？ (not now)
She can see I've got someone
quite nice here with me
Can't we just be left alone...
I guess that's a no then
Seeing as you're still here
Seeing as you're still here
Here
It's not me, no
it's my bad body double
I got bad body double trouble
Oh no, my bad body double, mmmhm
I've got bad body double trouble, agh.
Bad body double, mmhm.
I've got bad body double trouble
Oh dear, my bad body double.
I got bad body double trouble.
She's trouble
She's trouble
She's trouble, alright.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She's trouble
She's trouble
She's trouble, alright.
Yeah, yeah, right there.
Can't shake her, Can't shake her,
Can't shake her, Can't shake her
Everywhere I go, Everywhere I go, goooo
Can't shake her, Can't shake her,
Can't shake her, Can't shake her
Everywhere I go, Everywhere I go, goooo
Say hi there,
to my bad body double
My bad, bad, bad body double.
She's trouble
I can't shake her
And I hate her, I hate her,
I hate her, I hate her, I hate her.
She's everywhere I go,
I'm going to get rid
of you once and for all...
-Fade Out-
10.Aha!
Eat, sleep,
and breathe that you're full of the stuff
go back, get tied up tight
wheat-meat-dairy-free, tee total,
so happy clappy high on life
you should try it, you know
go on while no one's looking
A-ha! caught you now!
caught ya red handed in the biscuit tin!
cost you to keep me quiet
Golden boy boots
pocket pedestal
picking shots at my moves
plastic, tin can, paper, separated
busy bee wave, wave 'save the planet' flag
but sneaky in suburbia
A-ha! candid camera!
hook, line and sinker
for the four-wheel drive
cost you to keep me quiet!
Nicest sweetest
utmost in everything
it's so charming, very charming
well reckon play the fool no one's ill at ease
and put the deepest swiss bank trust in you
no one saw it coming
cost you to keep me quiet
11.The Fire
12.Canvas
Slow heart dark wait
down love black canvas
Revolve within, you understand
Fragile earth where cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Slow heart dark wait
down love black canvas
Revolve within, you understand
Fragile earth where cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Cause I just can't find the strength
to pull you up and keep you taut
No I just can't find the strength
to hold you up and keep you taut
Hi jacked lost track light fades another day left
Long shadows lure you in
The more you look the less you see
So close your eyes and start to breathe
Oh, suit yourself, this wasn't easy
Mm, suit yourself this wasn't easy
Oh, I just can't find the strength
to pull you up and keep you taut
No, I just can't find the strength
to hold you up and keep you taut
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Da-day-hay
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Da-dada-ho
Cause I just can't find the strength
To keep you taut
13.Half Life
I knew that I'd get like this again
That's why I try to keep at bay
Be a hundred percent
when I'm with you and then
A perfect heart's length away
The stickler is you've played
not one beat wrong
You never promised me anything
Even sat me down,
warned me just how they fall
And I knew the odds were I'd never win
And here I am
It's a half life
with you as my quarterback
A daft life
My self-worth measured in text back tempo
It's been 2 days and 8 minutes too slow
There may well be others
but I still like to pretend
that I'm the one you
really want to grow old with
You've got a schedule to stick to
Got a world to keep sweet
It's so much to everyone all the time
Will you ever slow down？
Will I ever come first？
The universe contracts decide
It's a half life
With you as my quarterback
A daft life
It's a half life
With you as my quarterback
A daft life
You know you'll never be lonely
You know you'll always be loved
And maybe you'll never need more than that
Of the sad place that loves,
what's to become of us？
Does it even register on your conscience？
Along for one last showdown
From a box in the crowd,
air compressed tight to explode
I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out
As you disappear in a puff of smoke
It's a half life
With you as my quarterback
A daft life
