1.If There's A Rocket Tie Me To It
Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve.
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve,
I wound it round and round my finger so tight.
It turned to purple and a pulse formed in sight,
And I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat.
I still remember that from our chest to chest then feet to feet.
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush,
Of oven airplanes and of distant car points.
A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry,
A pulse, you're pulse, it's the only thing I can remember.
I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though
The fire, the fire, the cracks and the barks like primal music.
I set I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat.
It's become my engine my own source of heat.
I see between us oh the amplifies the sound waves,
And every hum and echo in crash paints my cave.
A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry,
A pulse, you're pulse, it's the only thing I can remember.
I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though
The fire, the fire, the cracks and the barks like primal music.
La la la la la, la la la la la.
La la la la la, la la la la la.
A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry,
A pulse, you're pulse, it's the only thing I can remember.
I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though
The fire, the fire, the cracks and the barks like primal music.
2.Crack The Shutters
You cool your bed-warm hands down
on the broken radiator,
And when you laid them freezin' on me,
A mumble can you wake me later.
But I don't really want you to stop,
And you know it so it doesn't stop you,
And runs you hands from my neck to my chest.
Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of
day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and
body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.
It's been minutes it's been days.
It's been all I will remember,
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow.
Your hills and valleys,
are mapped by my intrepid fingers;
And in a naked slumber, I dream of this again.
Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of
day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and
body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.
Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of
day,
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and
body.
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute,
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.
3.Take Back The City
Take back the city for yourself tonight
I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa whoa
God knows you've put your life into ？the Thames
and it's both cradled you and crushed
But now it's time to make your own demands
Whoa whoa
All these years later and it's killing me
Your broken records and words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa whoa
No need to put your words into my mouth
Don't need convincing at all
I love this place enough to have no doubt
Whoa whoa
It's a mess
It's a start
It's a flowing work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Can't decide, pick a fight
？？but get your ？？？？ right？？
You can sing till you drop
Cos the fun just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bares its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know it's wrong and it's right
For every time it's been hit
Take back the city tonight
Tell me you never wanted more than this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa whoa
Take back the city for yourself tonight
I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa whoa
It's a mess
It's a start
It's a flowing work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Can't decide, pick a fight
？？but get your ？？？？ right？？
You can sing till you drop
Cos the fun just never stops
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bares its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know it's wrong and it's right
For every time it's been hit
Take back the city tonight
I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bares its teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we're all gluttons for it
We know it's wrong and it's right
For every time it's been hit
Take back the city tonight
4.Lifeboats
hold on, hold on,
let me get the words of the burst
there's not truth at all,
spoken of the child
cool heads have failt,
now it's time for me to have my turn,
kiss me, kiss me,
life is we to short to scream and should,
flash up in my wildest dreams
5.The Golden Floor
Tell me that you want to dance
I want to feel your pulse on mine
Just treat me like a stolen glance
To yourself
A dark shape on a golden floor
A sleeping planet with a molten core
From above we'd cut a slow eight shape
And much more
I'm a peasant in your princess arms
Penniless with only charm
As we're leveled by the low, hot lights
And disarmed
I'm not afraid of anything even time
It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine
I'm folded in the bread you made
You're cold until my body bathes
You in the heat I kept aside
All these days
I'm not afraid of anything even time
It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine
I'm not afraid of anything even time
It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine
6.Please Just Take These Photos From My Hands
The yellowed page of the books and books
I'd forgotten that I had
These paperbacks they know their age they smell
of weight and time that's resting warm
The opened box beside the endless box
parade that haunts my house
Is fit to split with photographs that tell
the wanderlust of years smashed on to years
When all this actual life played out
Where the hell on Earth was I？
I rack my brains but it won't come
Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one
I read your name under words in your
elegant hand you probably don't mean now
I fold the letter and think of a million
and one things that I could have done different
When all this actual life played out
Where the hell on Earth was I？
I rack my brains but it won't come
Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one
One gigantic fairy tale
Of friends I haven't seen in years
Drinking 'til the daylight hurts
Please Just Take These Photos From My Hands
7.Set Down Your Glass
Just close your eyes
And count to five
Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise
Set down your glass
I painted this
To look like you and me forever as we're now
And I'm shaking and I'm still
When you're eyes meet mine all the simple skills
Like to tell you all I want, is love
You say I'm cold
I'm just not the same
As I was a year ago
And each minute since then
My jumper tears
As we take off
You say you'll sew me good as new
And I know you will
And I'm shaking and I'm still
When your eyes meet mine all the simple skills
Like to tell you all I want, is love
And I'm shaking and I'm still
When your eyes meet mine all the simple skills
Like to tell you all I want, is love
8.The Planets Bend Between Us
The winters mar the Earth
It's floor was frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your words aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America
It's all for you
The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation points
The planets bend between us
A hundred million suns and stars
The sea filled in this silence
Before you sank those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in a America
It's all for you
It's all for you (x5)
9.Engines
Only the faintest only the faintest glance buries you buries me
So fire your engine see if I give a damn we'll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world
lost in noise
Use me forever use as rocket fuel i'll be air i'll be fire
You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past the now the coming years
What will you remember what will you think of me after I say
goodbye
Returning in bodies, plants and the sand you'll squeeze between
shoeless feet
I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said
I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past the now the coming years
10.Disaster Button
a little after 12
the function sweet was full
with people i had never seen before
ripped up ticket stubs
confetied on the floor
it dawned on me i'd seen it all before
cool your beans my son
you look a f＊＊king mess
no ones getting out of here tonight
hit that button there
the one that just says wrong
we'll lose our lives through all our favourite songs
go forward to later you'll land flat on your feet
when you where in the room, i was nailed to my seat
im like a prisoner getting ready to talk
i feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk
and suddenly it lifts the roof af the place
it puts a volt in my step
and a grin on my face
it cant contain me but you leaning on me
to get me back in my box
and snap the branches off me
a little after 4
the function suite is dead
and i am just a ripped up ticket stub
but heres a helping hand
a voice thats far to close
and i am up and on my broken limbs
go forward to later you'll land flat on your feet
when you where in the room, i was nailed to my seat
im like a prisoner getting ready to talk
i feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk
and suddenly it lifts the roof af the place
it puts a volt in my step
and a grin on my face
it cant contain me but you leaning on me
to get me back in my box
and snap the branches off me
and suddenly it lifts the roof af the place
it puts a volt in my step
and a grin on my face
it cant contain me but you leaning on me
to get me back in my box
and snap the branches off me
11.The Lightning Strike
What if this storm ends？
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again
The perfekt halo
Of gold hair and lightning
Sets you off against
The planet's last dance
Just for a minute
The silver forked sky
Lit you up like a star
That I will follow
Now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't want to run
Just overwhelm me
What if this storm ends？
And leaves us nothing
Except a memory
A distant echo
I want pinned down
I want unsettled
Rattle cage after cage
Until my blood boils
I want to see you
As you are now
Every single day
That I am living
Painted in flames
All peeling thunder
Be the lightning in me
That strikes relentless
What if this storm ends？
And I don't see you
As you are now
Ever again
The perfekt halo
Of gold hair and lightning
Sets you off against
The planet's last dance
Just for a minute
The silver forked sky
Lit you up like a star
That I will follow
Now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't want to run
Just overwhelm me
From here the caravans are kids toys
And I can hold them all in my palm
I watch the sea creep round the corner
It connects the dots from here to you
The sunlight burning through the loose flags
Painted high on white church walls
I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart
Until I'm out of breath for trying
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest place you've found
The only noise beating out is ours
Lacing our tea from honey jars
These accidents of faith and nature
They tend to stick in the spokes of you
But every now and then the trend bucks
And you're repaired by more than glue
Worry not everything is sound
This is the safest place you've found
The only noise beating out is ours
Lacing our tea from honey jars
Why don't you rest your fragile bones
A minute ago you looked alone
Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry
Breathe in and drink up the winter sky
Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church
The one on the corner you said frightened you
It was too dark and too large to find your soul in
Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture
of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs
You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms
We both laugh out loud and surrender to it
The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet Earth
Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture
of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
