1.Exploration Team
Everyone should have a friend
To share your life and your heart
It's not all you need
But you would bleed for them
Everyone gets hurt, everyone gets stuck
Everyone should have a friend
To lead and to follow
To open up to and to lose control
Someone to explore
The north pole, south pole
Exploration team
Soft core hard core
Polar extreme
And we'll be lost
And we'll be found
And we'll be bound
To the friendship that we found
2.Mandarin
My happiest memories are Mexico
When you didn't have to go
Why are you so far away?
Sleep down, sleep down, sleep and stay
How much gold is in a ton of dirt?
One whole dollar worth
And if we meet just one time in the year
Does that make me more or less dear?
I don't want you always just my guest
Wrap in my Mexican blanket and rest
You are so sweet to love
But we're never never really together
You're my one the only dear to me
A thousand miles across the sea
You're not here, I'm not there
We're apart and I'm lonely
Let's do some truthful talking
Cause I'm getting tired of walking nowhere;
This framework doesn't work
Kick the dragon, nothing else I'm fired up truck
You're not here, I'm not there
We're apart
3.Yoga
It might not last
So we're gonna record everything
Trip the power on
And we'll set up our equipment
And we'll be there for that moment
When our world is transformed from night to dawn
It's an outside chance
That the light will be reflected
And our lives will be connected
In the same sphere, as we glance each other's eyes
Open up the mic
'Cos we're gonna record everything
This is a moving part
This is a big idea, just waiting to spark
Clank out those random parts
A kinetic freedom's reaching
Between the earth and the stars
There'll be magic errors meeting
4.Mobile Deli
(Instrumental)
5.Coolport
3 boat rendezvous
Sub-moonlight serenade
Respect is due to you
For coming all this way
When the consensus was to wait and see
There's so much music that isn't free
And I wish that we could make it disappear
Shut some record companies down
Run some bands out of town
Shed light on a corporate situation
Consensus rock on the air
Using up all the electricity
And leaving us feeling empty
Float down boats of wood and metal
In the same direction on the same river
Sooner or later they'll arrive together
I know it won't let us down
But sometimes we've had to take a long way round
To a coolport, coolport
Sooner or later we'll arrive together
Coolport, coolport
Sooner or later we'll arrive together
Coolport
6.Worlds Of Possibility
Truth shimmers like palaces in the sun
And your inventions will never be too far flung
Imagination's worthwhile taking
And gravitation, cause I don't want you to fall
I'll surprise you
Gliding through
I'll surprise you
Unbounded by languor or longitude
Everywhere is the centre of someone's world
Panorama getting calmer
Senses warmer
I don't want us to fall
We'll be true
Never blue
We'll be true
7.Exotic Arcade
Penny parade, exotic Arcade
Swimming pool mansion
A family disgrace
Jack pot queen, slot machine
I don't want on
But I do want on
What have you got?
Tell me you're feeling so hot
'Cause I bet you anything you've got
That you will lose it
And I will lose it
Swimstar queen,
I am outside your scene
And I don't want in
But I do want in
What can I win?
Show me how to swim for the prize
When the prize is in your eyes
Everything I am is covered in you
You're my eyes for seeing through
Every mirror reverses through
Everything I see is you
I'm fake king, I'm faking
I am king to the queen of the pool
There's no rules, king of the fools
King of the worst, king of the cursed
King of the frown, upside down crown
King until sundown
8.Classic Line-Up
See the sunshine split those buildings
And I'll feel my heart uplifting
'Cause the city casts a magic spell
And my life seems so special
Before I met you I always knew
Pretty soon you'd be marching through
To the beat of your favourite record
Making my life seem so special
And the music blew ?
And our hearts just knew
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
Here comes a feeling closing in on me
Here comes a sound turning all our life around
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
When the tenement world reveals it's charm
You better grab it fast with both your arms
There's really nothing to understand
Let's go and see our favourite band
Early evening cheer
Ringing loud and clear
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
Here comes a feeling closing in on me
Here comes a sound turning all our life around
Here comes a sound rushing all the way down
Here comes a sound pulling everything around it
Here comes a feeling deep and soulful to me
Here comes a sound turning all our world around
Here comes that sound rushing all the way down
9.Flightpaths To Each Other
Aircraft buzz, airport lights
Are we closer to the world at night?
The city scape in neon draped
it's so late, are you awake?
Secret watchers of the world
Follow flight paths to each other
There's so much air when you're not there
The sky is free, think of me
Night-time heavy breathing
Feel your senses reeling
Hear my heart beating
(It's for you)
10.Strategic Gear
Scratch out the negative
'Till I don't know what it is I'm seeing
And when history starts disappearing
Then it's time for some forgetting
And I'm good at forgetting you know
And we should have said goodbye
A long time ago
There was no crime committed
There was a band that split
And they were so remote
That no-one even noticed
And they were good at forgetting you know
And they should have said goodbye
A long time ago
Is there always a ghost I should remember?
Is there always a heart I can't unsever?
Are there no new songs to be learnt?
Cause if there's not,
I'd say the idea's been spent
11.Token Collecting
Rug is keen and seaweed queen
My eyes are green my mind's serene
Recommend it hurry and send it
This is day twenty-eight
Now I've started token collecting
Firth descending hearts for mending
Shell hoards and gold loads
Downward looking flower
Every hour there's a sky
Unearth the sea discover me
Your mind is clear your life is real
Serpentine shaped shallow mine
A liquid pool a secret sign
Now I've started token collecting
Firth descending hearts for mending
Shell hoards and gold loads
Thanking without asking
Hopes are banking on your climb
12.Basement Scam
I can't twist
Those landmarks that you've missed
When your life is such a social whirl
I am still
I can't stand
Those basement scams you plan
Can't say that you're heart won't land
When it will
Your guitar is lying broke
Your friends think it's all a joke
Rundown glam, basement scam
I can't stand
Those basement scams you plan
Can't say that you're heart won't land
When it will
You drove an old sportscar
Maybe thought that you would break some hearts
Seems mad, basement scam
What's the plan, basement scam
