1.The American Scene
Lyricist：Sean O'hagan
One number it cannot reach
Bold classics instead of speech
Try climbing up to a height
To see the pools all white
That's spread below
Praise gardens in turn it sings
Unwilling to feeling things
These comedy quite will sound
The rising six comes 'round
To spread below
2.Amin
Lyricist：Sean O'hagan
Greet the fabric pattern chain
Seen the time and time again
Pick it up where others fall
Rush to replicate it all
They return in silver suits
Sparky helmets, silver boots
Sparky helmets
When you're restless, when you're bored
Play the first card that you call
This machine sounds like a song
Touch the pedal, sing along
Swing a left to check the bail
Trace the fabric to the trail
Run the cards unto the bell
Tore the stitches, wear the fur
Run the cards in
When you're restless, when you're bored
Play the first card that you call
3.Bacaroo
Lyricist：Sean Michael O'hagan
We wait the whole night long
For a moment over our time for two
The hush is like a song
For a moment over our time for two
Some will be singing over the engine roar
Some will be watching smoke and blossom fold
They called her Baby Jane
As the sun broke over the moment of
And endless coast highway
As the sun broke over the moment of
Some will be singing over the engine roar
Some will be watching smoke and blossom fold
4.Checking In, Checking Out
Lyricist：Sean O'hagan
If funny looks don't get you down
You could get on in this town
The drivers crawl along the curb
The thought of walking's quite absurd
The dumbest thing I've ever heard
Checking in and checking out
Why be shy when you can kick the can and shout？
The living church must move along
The Carmelites could use a song
A blessing father if you please
Help the hopeless in their need
They don't need this kind of sleaze
Checking in and checking out
Why be shy when you can kick the can and shout？
Here's a man who's run the marathon
Sad and lonely, now it's been and gone
Let me check upon my family
I wonder, do they still remember me
I'm on the run, on the fun run
Gifted artists need respect
True collectors must collect
There behind those rusty gates
Dodgy sculptured license plates
The gifted sit around and wait
Checking in and checking out
Why be shy when you can kick the can and shout？
5.Might As Well Be Dumbo
Lyricist：Sean Michael O'hagan
Feeling so important
A flunky by his side
But there in the door
Stood his friend with two more
He captured their attention
Drawing pictures in the air
Enough for today
He shooed them away
It might as well be
Just a tea boy and me
Barely recognized his good friend
Swept through the door and down the stairs
There's not a lot to look at
Now the barn raising is through
A hundred feet high
Against a crystal clear sky
It might as well be Dumbo
With a pencil in his hand
But Dumbo can fly
That's him in the sky
It might as well be
Just a tea boy and me
We work with our hands
From the architect's plans
It might as well be
Just a tea boy and me
It might as well be
Just a tea boy and me
6.Sailing Bells
Lyricist：Sean Michael O'hagan
Rocker on the hill
Left alone until
He is cooled by the
Lightest of rains
Runner in the din
Let's the high rocks slip
'Til the clash and the sea spray
Are gone
The clash and the sea spray
Are gone
Oh, the little rocks
Lay low on the tide
(Oh the little rocks lay)
The little rocks lay
(Oh the little rocks lay)
Bobby sails the cat
Down the midway flat
Like a free form
Not far from the land
Sailing bells are hung
Brushes on the drum
And the free bird of Cantabile
And the cameras
Come down the midway
Oh the little rocks
Lay low on the tide
(Oh the little rocks lay)
The little rocks lay
(Oh the little rocks lay)
Rocker on the hill
Left alone until
He is cooled by the
Lightest of rain
Runner in the din
Let's the high rocks slip
'Til the clash and the sea spray
Are gone
The clash and the sea spray
Are gone
7.Cropduster
Lyricist：Sean O'hagan
He was just another Yankee
Came to London empty handed
And the city was an icebox
He was just another
And you want to take it easy
And you seem a little choosy
But you want to make a living
And you schooled in engineering
He was just another Yankee
He was just another
8.The Goat Looks On
A sudden wind cuts through the song
Five hundred people can't be wrong
This place is finished I can tell
This place is finished they're gonna sell
Can't quite believe what I've just seen
Construction workers dressed in green
A supermarket on the hill
The way things happen makes you feel ill
And the goat looks on at another one
The goat looks on at another one
A water still, a gentle breeze
Holiday people ill at ease
The councilor speaks from the past
Visiting clergy get their last
And the goat looks on at another one
The goat looks on at another one
Someone has got to break the ice
I'll take your money, make it good
Take it to another neighborhood
And the goat looks on at another one
And the goat looks on at another one
And the goat looks on at another one
And the goat looks on at another one
9.Apricots
Back in the eighties
The air smelled like roses
I flew my big black balloon
As an accountant, over the city
Staring straight at the moon
Then all my friends quit smoking
Saying an ill wind had set in
None of us can win
I started drinking in city gymnasiums
Hanging out with the guys
Now all the streets are empty
No one calls I'm eating in apricots from tins
Get in the car
No
Get in the car
No
Look I said get in the car
I told you I'm not going
No, no, no, I'm not going
I won't get in the car
Get in the car
No, I'm not going
10.Triads
The motel's heights, it over spills
We see it creeping up a hill
The dust will fly but settles green
The promised rain is bubble clean
The promised rain
Dust and rain, keep it down
Dust and rain, take these stones
Spread them out, spread them out
We have to stop to break the night
I don't know silence, what's it like
The day was dry but now it's cool
Replace the thaw, we're passing through
Replace the thaw
Dust and rain, keep it down
Dust and rain, take these stones
Spread them out, spread them out
The bridge is near, it's not so deep
The river trickles underneath
Across the bridge in broken step
The youngest date, the difference there
The youngest date
Dust and rain, keep it down
Dust and rain, take these stones
Spread them out, spread them out
11.Go To Montecito
Signs went up, walls came down
To build an arch in Chinatown
We stand outside as science hides
Silence can see
(Really？)
Scratching at
(Doors？)
Freely
The wind may carry you home
Just don't go to Montecito, to Montecito
Hub grew up stars stuck luck
The last address was Hub U.S.
The gold wall thinned when Hub moved in
Settle the facts sweetly
Numbers will match neatly
The wind may carry you home
Just don't go to Montecito, to Montecito
12.Three Point Scrabble
One more sleeping limousine
Seems just a little extreme
Too close to home, too close to home
Since the summer set in
Time in the garden has been
Catcalls and more, catcalls and more
Spoken those words sound obscure
Drawn on a sheet they mature
Front doors must be changed frequently
13.Green Coaster
Pass the work yard unprotected
Just like many open spaces
Red and amber perspects
Stop the empire paint the ratings
Seal the silo legends fading
Red and amber perspects
