The Young Knives Superabundance Lyrics
1.Fit 4 U

Home, Home is where the house is
Roads and roads of houses
Roads that carry on
Home, Keeps you moving forwards
I think you'll walk forever

Don't, follow the signs
They are misguiding
Despite the design
This world's not fit for you

Not fit for you
Fit for you
Not fit for you

Your, your walking without speaking
Keep the pace brisk
Your body insists that you should sleep
A chance, a chance would be a fine thing
I think you'll walk forever

Don't, follow the signs
They are misguiding
Despite the design
This worlds not fit for you

Don't, follow the signs
Cause they are misguiding
Despite the design
This world's not fit for

Hey runner, what are you running from? x8
Hey runner, why are you running?

Don't, follow the signs
They are misguiding
Despite the design
This worlds not fit for you

Don't, follow the signs
They are misguiding
Despite the design
This worlds not fit for you

Not fit for you
Fit for you
Not fit for you


2.Terra Firma

Dartnall

I took a good long look at everything I bought
There was a lot to see but still I wanted more
It looks like mother nature's got herself a whore
With a disregard for health and safety

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma

A world of wonder lies beyond the door
Take the first right into town where I am sure
I can find the perfect place or something more
In my mind I fly but I'm still seated

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
(Down to)

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma

You don't eat enough
You don't sleep enough
You talk too much
Yes, you talk too much

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
(Down to)

Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
Fake rabbit, real snake
Terra firma, terra firma
(Down to mud)


3.Up All Night

Lyricist:Oliver Michael Askew, Henry John Dartnall, Thomas Adrian
Dartnall

I got dressed up, up to the nines
I took a look in the mirror, I wish I was thinner
Then everything would be fine

At least I smell nice, so come on and breathe me in
What's the point? What's the point? What's the point?
What's the point? What's the point? What's the point?

â~Cause everybody looks famous
And they've been wasting lots of time
Everybody feels special tonight

It's a show down and it's down to the wire
The faces so warm, so pale and drawn
The last one's to retire

And if no one can manage a smile, well
What's the point? What's the point? What's the point?
What's the point? What's the point? What's the point?

â~Cause everybody looks famous
And they've been wasting lots of time
Everybody is special in their mind's eye

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Night, up all night, up all night, up all night
Up all night, up all night, up all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Up all night, up all night
We're not sleeping, we are staying up all night

Up all night, up all night, up all night
Up all night, up all night, up all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Up all night, up all night
We're not sleeping, we are staying up all night

Up all night, up all night, up all night
Up all night, up all night, up all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Up all night, up all night

Rock bottom, rock bottom
You've hit rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom
You've hit rock bottom

â~Cause everybody looks famous
And we've been wasting lots of time
Everybody is special in their mind's eye

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody feels special tonight
Up all night, up all night, up all night
Up all night, up all night
We're not sleeping, we are staying up all night


4.Counters

We're not numbers
We're not numbers anymore
We're the counters
We're not numbers anymore

We're not numbers
We're not numbers anymore
We're the counters
We're the counters

It seems that all the milk's gone sour
And I can't believe my eyes
I drank to put me out of my misery
cruel to be kind
The sweat has dried into my shirt
and I tried to bite my tongue
I know you think that I am joking around
you've got that wrong, wrong, wrong

Sitting in the front seat
Turning on the motor
Sucking on the hose pipe
Keep it turning over

It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since you entered my life
For me to stay here would be a bad idea
And thats not so nice, nice, nice

Sitting in the front seat
Turning on the motor
Sucking on the hose pipe
Keep it turning over
Keep it turning over


5.Light Switch

We've got bets, you're on the move
Afternoons fade into afternoons
Wearing a frown and hand me downs
Kicking cushion dust with good time shoes

Is it just a sound
Bounces on the ground
Is it just a silence
A silence that surrounds

You are the light switch (x2)

All your friends are squeezing you
Just to see you do your stuff
Rip knee slacks on factory tracks and city boys
Sing along with top ten tunes

Is it just a sound
That bounces on the ground
Is it just a silence
A silence that surrounds
Faces that I've seen
In broken down machines
You can make a difference
And tell us what it means

You are the light switch
You are the light switch
And I've noticed the light switch
Because the light is shining bright (x2)

And it still stands (x2)

You are the light switch
You are the light switch
And I've noticed the light switch
Because the light is shining bright (x2)


6.Turn Tail

Lyricist:Oliver Michael Askew, Henry John Dartnall, Thomas Adrian
Dartnall

These are my hands, these are brick walls
Men can break down brick walls
Men can break down brick walls
These are my hands, these are brick walls
Men can break down brick walls
Men can break down brick walls

Where are the spoils? Where are the treats?
I've been worked to the bone
I've been worked off my feet
Head in my hands, hands in the soil
I've been cheated and stripped of my perfect retreat

We're all slaves on this ship
We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking
We will not reach the shore
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore

My back is sore, so I sleep on the floor
With the dust and the leaves
That blew under the door
These are my chores, these are my chores
I must not show the strain

We're all slaves on this ship
We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking
We will not reach the shore
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore

This ship's sinking
This ship's sinking
This ship's sinking

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run

Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow
Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run

We're all slaves on this ship
We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking
We will not reach the shore
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore

This ship's sinking
This ship's sinking
This ship's sinking

Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run


7.I Can Hardly See Them


8.Dyed In The Wool

Help me, I'm starting to expire.
I hope that I can hire a helping hand.
It's got a meaning, I really hadn't thought of.
I really should take care of the things I have.

I have to hold you.
Have to hold you in a headlock.
I have to force you into wedlock.
That's how I am.

I'm dyed in the wool.
Dyed in the wool.(x2)

f**king love, when I should buckle down.
And I shouldn't hang around, for what that's worth.
Can you forgive me?
We're headed irrational.
Freakish passion for passion, that's my curse.
That's my curse.

I'm dyed in the wool.
Dyed in the wool. (x2)

I'm dyed in the wool.
I'm dyed in the wool. (x6)

Dyed in the wool.


9.Rue The Days


10.Flies

Flies all over my body
When they should be flying to the sun
This sensation is funny to me
I can fill them softly creeping

They are attracted to the light
They are attracted to bright colours
? all over my yellow T-shirt
This sensation is simple

It all comes to pose
It all comes to pose
It all comes to pose
It all comes to pose


11.Mummy Light The Fire

Mummy light the fire
Light the fire
Light the fire (x4)

Spinning on a high wire ride
On a cable car
Look around there's a lot to see
From where we are
Submarines underneath our feet
While we sleep
Lie awake in a silent grave
Six days deep
Goodness me bless my soul

Mummy light the fire
Light the fire
Light the fire
Mummy light the fire (x2)

Fear I feel fear
I feel fear (x2)
I'm in floods of tears

Mummy light the fire
Light the fire
Light the fire
Mummy light the fire

Break every bone I own
Every promise I make
I was caught in a stranger's stare
My first mistake

Mummy light the fire
Light the fire
Light the fire
Mummy light the fire (x2)

Fear I feel fear
I feel fear (x2)
I'm in floods of tears

Mummy light the fire
Light the fire
Light the fire
Mummy light the fire

Light the fire (x3)
Mummy light the fire (x2)
Light the fire (x3)
Mummy light the fire (x2)
Light the fire (x3)


12.Current Of The River

Father, bring Your sons and daughters
Bring them everyone
To leave them is to love them
Now it must be done

All you have taught them
All you have talked about
Has prepared them well
Bring Your songs and bring Your daughters
Bring the warning bell

The current of the river
The current of the river
Brings voices on the water
Brings voices on the water

The current of the river
The current of the river
Brings voices on the water
Brings voices on the water

Lock Your doors and all Your windows
Climb the roves and spires
Burning brightly in the distance
Are the creeping fires

All you have worked for
All Your prosperity
Will not rescue them
Father, fighting for Your family
You will see again

The current of the river
The current of the river
Brings voices on the water
Brings voices on the water

All, all

The current of the river
The current of the river
Brings voices on the water
Brings voices on the water

All, all

The current of the river
The current of the river
Brings voices on the water
Brings voices on the water
