3.To My Bones

We're kissing the lips of strangers
We're hugging whoever next we meet
Oh life I love you to my bones
When everything's short for listeners
Take 'em home and cook them dinners
and sing
Oh life I love you to my bones
dominoes and medicine
a two you are and new you win
take a seat and let it grow
the world will love you
elephants of memory
an alphabet of chemistry
all of these things have made me
Roscoe and Beenie, laughter and no TV
I've got punch lines and feisty cars
and tons and tons of love
I've got firesides and dutch gold
There's no such thing as too old
and my fortune is my home
my home and all I know!

We had the
whole group doing limbo
everybody was tearing up the floor
Oh life I love you to my bones
Man, everything is just so simple
When you're laughing until your face is soar
Oh life I love you to my bones
dominoes and medicine
a two you are a new you win
take a seat and let it grow
the wild will love you
an alphabet of chemistry
all of these things have made me
Roscoe and Beenie, laughter and no TV
I've got punch lines and feisty cars
and tons and tons of love
I've got firesides and dutch gold
There's no such thing as too old
and my fortune is my home
my home and all I know!


4.Meal Of Connivence

123
As I walked down that road
I was greeted by strangers
They were laughing so hard
They exploded streams of colours
From their mouths

This is a meal of convenience
This is a meal my mother made
This is a meal of convenience
this is a meal my mother made

(Yeow)

Well I walked that road
Like I watch my life in front of me
And I wore the same
Damn clothes for 3 days
I didn't wanna wash the feeling
Off of me

This is a meal of convenience
This is a meal my mother made
This is a meal of convenience
This is a meal my mother made
This is a meal of convenience
This is a meal my mother made
This is a meal of convenience
This is a meal my mother made...

This is a meal my mother made.


5.Made Of Sugar

blood on my fingers
blood in my chest
you anticipate me
wipe my fear in my vest
i am a sugar girl
made of sugar am i
and so is my affliction
that i'm so afraid to cry

strengthen up
and come home to me
music melt me
join my sky to my sea

(i sail the distance and now
i've said it, i sail to me)

i cut my hair today
and stepping from the choice
thinking of you my love
will you know where i am

stand up now
and come home to me
music melt me
join my sky to my sea


6.An Idea About Mary

A sailor a sailor did drown my heart
because of your thunderous wave goodbye
and I never saw you sleeping
in your matching shoes
So a part of me still thinks you're alive
and if my mam is feeling better
we'll take some sandwiches for the road
and we'll drive into the lights on the way home
and my dad talks about the weather
says 'the arse is falling out of the sky'
the day that mary died

CHORUS:
Oh lover! I've got plenty so why do I feel
like I've got nothing
oh lover! i'm so empty - who am I now?
tell me who i'm going to be
or just give me back me

My saviour is braver than I can be
taking all the weapons out of my mind
and I sing for my supper but I sing for me
so a part of me is aching to survive
(Someone put a shape on me)

CHORUS:
Oh lover! i've got plenty...
why do i feel like I need something else
then give me something else
Or give me back me.

8.Lala Land

I must be looking for a change, a different point of view
And if you'd only stop, cryin cryin cryin cryin
I could start respectin you
I must be lookin for a revelation, get us in the mood
I cut my fingers from tryin, tryin, tryin tryin
Always startin something new

I got some people to see, they're educatin my brain
They say I'm livin in la la land
And when I've paved my way
My conscience sneak in the door
I got my horses in la la land
Whatever weather that comes, Whatever happens to me
I got a needle in la la land
I'm gonna pave my way
And get my foot in the door
I've got my horses in la la land X 10

I shoulda, woulda, coulda came
Instead of sittin in my room
Instead of multiplyin same same fuck up game
Scared of winnin, scared to lose
I must be lookin for a.... companion
It doesn't matter who
As long as everyone is livin in, livin in sin
As long as I can play with you

Way down the sea, way down on me
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH

(Chorus) I've got some people in la la land


9.Berlin


10.Measuring Cities

Do you remember Mannheim in September?
We were in love
We didn't know it
Do you remember sleeping like a glove
We finally kissed
The world exploded

Our pockets were lined with each other
We knew every last drop of our souls
We were worried
I wanted someone from old

My heart is married to somebody else
My soul is married to somebody else
My lips are married to somebody else
My heart is married - to only you.

Do you remember Paris in October?
We were in love
We were ecstatic
Do you remember feeling growing old
We'd changed the World
The World had changed us

Our pockets were lined with each other
We knew every last drop of our souls
I was never untrue
When the cat was away.

My heart is married to somebody else
My soul is married to somebody else
My lips are married to somebody else
My heart is married - to only you.

Do you remember Brixton last July?
You were unsure
I didn't know it
You couldn't even look me in the eye
I felt the World
Crashing around me
I went home to family, meek
You changed your hair and your clothes in one week
And I don't think I'll be moving on
Any time soon

Cuz, my heart is married etc


11.Your Morning Dream

come here, bring your body to me. let's make light.
i feel the purities within me take flight.
when i look at you lying there beside me- it's so nice.

well sunflowers need water like these walls need to talk
and i think if we stay in this bed any longer
we might just forget how to walk!

'cos i've got you forever and forever... and a day
i can feel it, i feel it, i feel it
come on, come on, come on

i feel it the bubbles in my skin

oh love can make a woman or a man.
i see it the bubbles in your skin
oh love can make a woman or a man.
oh love can make a woman or a man.

curl up. i'll hold you like a baby. and kiss you low.
when i hold you, i will hold you closer than your skin
and when we kiss, i want to kiss you out of the ceiling
up into the sky, into your soul.

14.An Idea About Mary (Acoustic)

A sailor, a sailor did drown my heart

and if my mam is feeling better

and we'll drive into the lights on the way home
and my dad talks about the weather
and says 'the arse is falling out of the sky'

oh lover! I've got plenty so why do I feel
like I've got nothing?
oh lover! I'm so empty - so who am I now?
oh lover! I' ve got plenty
why do I feel like I need something else
or give me back me

someone put a shape on me
someone put a shape on me
someone put a shape on me

oh lover! I've got plenty so why do I feel
like I've got nothing?
oh lover! I'm so empty - so who am I now?
who am I?
oh lover! Ive got plenty so why do I feel like
I need something else?
so give me something else
if I need something else
then give me back me
