I'm kissing your hand, I'm kissing your hand
I'm making you smile, why am I doing that?
I like you a lot, I guess I forgot
I don't like you much now

I'm kissing your hand, I'm kissing your hand
I'm making you smile, why am I doing that?
I like you a lot, I guess I forgot
I don't like you much now

La la lala. Words go too far
Why can't we say when it's dark
The sticks and stones do play their part
Why can't we say? (Why can't we say?)

Hey!

Looks like you've lost a girl
Looks like you've lost a girl
Looks like you've lost a girl

Watch as the wings unfold

Hey! ooh oo ooo...

I want to pretend, I want to pretend
The shape of the past could walk in the present tense
I'm shaking my head, you've certainly said
I don't like you much now

La la lala. Words go too far
Why can't we say when it's dark
The sticks and stones do play their part
Why can't we say? (Why can't we say?)

Hey!

Looks like you've lost a girl
Looks like you've lost a girl
Looks like you've lost a girl

Watch as the wings unfold

Hey! ooh oo ooo...

Looks like you've lost a girl (Looks like you've lost a girl)
Looks like you've lost a girl (Looks like you've lost a girl)
Looks like you've lost a girl

Watch as the wings unfold?


2.Chaos

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

You like your motor on
The world is in your wake
Revving up for your snow white side show
That never deviates

You've got the people singing
La la la
Strung out on your Midas moment
You've got the people singing
La la la
Whitewash on your life as the lights go down

Oh no
The things you'll never know
You've got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You've got the instinct, tell me what's the answer
Oh no
The things you'll never know
You've got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You've got the instinct, tell me what's the answer

You like a little chaos
We like a little thrill
Don't take the breaks that were meant to save us
Make life a bitter pill

You've got us lining up, line on line
You've got us lining up, line on line
For the answers you wake up with

Oh no
The things you'll never know
You've got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You've got the instinct, tell me what's the answer
Oh no
The things you'll never know
You've got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You've got the instinct, tell me what's the answer

Line on line
You've got us lining up (line on line)
You've got us lining up, line on line
You've got us lining up (line on line)
You've got us lining up
You've got us lining up

Oh noooo
The things you'll never know
You've got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You've got the instinct, tell me what's the answer
Oh noooooooo
The things you'll never know
You've got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You've got the instinct, tell me what's the answer

Oh no
Oh no
The things you'll never know


3.The Optimist

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

And then, we wake up in the morning
Now we've had our fill and the glass is empty
But when, I get down to the bottom
My mind has not forgotten
I'm an optimist, you're a clean slate, maybe

It's pale, the diary of forever,
And I'll know full stop from your flawless entry
Some fools, want to throw together
Like spectators making better
With the ground still hot when the shove is friendly

You have said, You have said
Your name is not for me
I try not to be
Disappointed
You have said, you have said
Your name is not for me
I try not to be
Disappointed

And then, we wake up in the morning
Now we've had our fill and the glass is empty
But when, I get down to the bottom
My mind has not forgotten
I'm an optimist, you're a clean slate, maybe

You have said you have said
Your name is not for me
I try not to be
Disappointed
You have said you have said
Your name is not for me
I try not to be
Disappointed


4.Stone

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

Things the land forgot
The way the summer starts and stops
No better
Streets are melting off
Does the burning throng satisfy the sun
Like pleasure

Cause you're stone
That's what you are
Cause you're stone
Stone, that's what you are
Stone, stone, that's what you are
You are you are you are
Cause youre stone

Days are moving on,
Kids adrift like unmanned ships
At leisure
Shirts are skiving off
As the golden glow of the evening shows
Like treasure

Cause you're stone
That's what you are
Cause you're stone
Stone, that's what you are
Stone, stone, that's what you are
You are you are you are
Cause you're stone

You know better
You know better
You know better

Cause you're stone
That's what you are
Cause you're stone
Stone, that's what you are
Stone, stone, that's what you are
You are you are you are

Cause you're stone
Cause you're stone


5.We Want To

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

Oh ee oh
Am I just about to lose my mind?
It was fun for five minutes
But I preferred it when I had less time
And I'm sick of sensation
It's a stroke of luck you can plug me in
If I stink of frustration
It's the perfume of excess I think

Oh ee oh
It was purple but the season's changed
Now the club is complacent
And the smiles have all been prearranged
Let's go out and get vacant!
In the complex crush of the fake and floored
But we think that we hate it
We hate it more when we just stay bored

We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ah-ah-uh-ah-hhh
We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ah-ah-uh-ah-hhh

Oh ee oh
My invented life of open doors
Every chain is gold plated
And the shamrock friends I can't afford
And I'm sick of sensation
It's a stroke of luck you can plug me in
If I stink of frustration
It's the perfume of excess I think

We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ah-ah-uh-ah-hhh
We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ah-ah-uh-ah-hhh

We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ahhhhhhhh
We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ah-ah-uh-ah-hhh

We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ah-ah-uh-ah-hhh
We want to

We want to
I don't want to do any of this
Without you
Ahhhhhhhh
We want to

Ahhhhhhhh


6.Dolls

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

t was a pose, you're such a performer
You're one of those, a right little corker
But you won't do this and you won't do that, no
You're such a pain you change your behavior
We think you're straight so you act like a stranger
And you won't do this and you won't have that, no

I'm sick of all the running around we're doing in this town
I'm sick of all the running around we're doing in this town
I thought I had a brain I don't seem to have one

You've lost the plot but your map is medieval
Good luck on passing through the eye of the needle
?But you'll be in this you'll be seen in that, oh?
It was a pose the shapes are deflated
But then its just one break and that's how you made it
Now you're lifting this and you fall of that, oh

I'm sick of all the running around we're doing in this town
I'm sick of all the way around we're doing in this town
I thought I had a brain I don't seem to have one

All you dolls that want my attention
All you dolls that want my attention
All you dolls that want my attention
All you dolls that want my attention
All you dolls that want my attention
All you dolls that want my attention
All you dolls that want my attention
All you dolls that want my attention
I thought I had a brain I don't seem to have one

I thought I had a brain
I thought I had a brain


7.Before The Light

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

I lost one, found one
I went back to the beginning with it
The marking
I want more of your ideas
And less of your infinite

Looked in, I looked out
The placement, that would never fit
Forgetful, that to look is the instinct
But the ?leave? takes the flesh with it
Don't look at me now
Look at my intellect
The things I leave behind like footsteps

Ahhh look at you turning out the light
I lost one
Ahhh look at you turning out the light
The question
Ahhh look at you turning out the light
Lost one
Ahhh look at you turning out the light
(I lost one)

Don't look at me now
Look at my intellect
The things I leave behind like footsteps

We place, strong things
Reflections, of the battle within
Suggesting, that the ?end? is the action
That preserves what is intimate

Ahhh look at you turning out the light
I lost one
Ahhh look at you turning out the light
The question
Ahhh look at you turning out the light
Lost one
Ahhh look at you turning out the light
(I lost one)

Don't look at me now
Look at my intellect
The things I leave behind like footsteps
Don't look at me now
Look at my intellect
The things I leave behind like footsteps

I lost one
The question
Lost one

Lost one


8.Oh Cherie

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

Da da da duh duh
Da's and duh's
Oh cherie

Oh cherie
The city comes alive
It sails in the night
It's wounded with desire

Oh cherie
We won't question the fire
Or what its warmth subside
For you a vintage life
Oh cherie

Oh cherie
Oh cherie cherie
Don't you know the heat can be a kiss or a killer?
Oh cherie
Oh cherie cherie
Don't you know the heart can be a fist or infinite?
Oh cherie

Da da da duh duh
Da dad a duh duh
Da's and duhs

Oh cherie

I am the tiger's eye
And you the youth that hides
And raptured of the wild
Oh cherie
And with the final flame
The wrath to shrieking pain
Your tutor feels the same

Oh cherie
Oh cherie cherie
Don't you know that heat can be a kiss or a killer?
Oh cherie
Oh cherie cherie
Don't you know the heart can be a fist or infinite?
Oh cherie

(Don't you know that he can be a kiss or killer?)
(Oh cherie)

Oh cherie
Oh cherie
Oh cherie
Oh cherie
Oh cherie

(Hu-hu-higher)

Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher

Days are long and the nights are cold
Your hair hangs down and you just don't know
How to live on the inside
Smile on the outside
Peg is square but the world is round
Each burned bridge falls without a sound
Cause you're big on the outside
Small on the inside

Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher

One small day for a moment's thrill
We all love that and we always will
Can't you smile on the outside?
We're on the inside

Higher, higher,
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher

Can we get any?
Can we get any?
Can we get any?
Can we get any?
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher

Days are long and the nights are cold
Your hair hangs down and you just don't know
How to live on the inside
Smile on the outside
Your hair hangs down and you just don't know
Days are long and the nights are cold
How to live on the inside
Smile on the outside

Smile on the outside (Uh-huh-high)
Smile on the outside (Uh-huh-higher)
Smile on the outside (Uh-huh-high)
Smile on the outside (Uh-huh-higher)
Smile on the outside (Uh-huh-higher)
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher
Uh-huh-higher


10.Architect Of Love

Lyricist:Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence
Writer(s):Tahita BulmerAndy SpenceAndy Spence

Time, has made a mark of me
And you it stalks the dream
Of endless summers

This, was broken from the start
The blueprint had no art
The architect of love
Does not remember us

The architect of love
Does not remember

We, remember to forget
The gift that was we met
Habitual responses
Override our wants

This, was broken from the start
The blueprint had no art
The architect of love
Does not remember us

The architect of love

The architect of love
Does not remember, remember us

This
Was broken from the start
Was broken from the start
Does not remember us
The architect of love

The architect of love
Does not remember, remember us

The architect of love

Remember us
