1.It's Thunder And It's Lightning
Right foot
Followed by a left foot
We'll guide you home before your curfew
and into your bed
Standing on our tip-toes
Peering through open windows
I swear I heard my name
Sit tight with the lights off
Waiting for my brain to start
Trying to work things out
It's thunder and it's lighting
And it's all things too frightening
I could barely see outside
Your body was black and blue
It struck twice there's nothing new
Your body was black and blue
It struck twice there's nothing new
Your body was black and blue (x7)
YOUR BODY WAS BLACK
And it's thunder
And it's lightning
Coming home
And it's thunder
And it's lightning
Coming back
Your body was black and blue
Your body was black and blue
And your body...
I have to say goodnight
I'm leaving before your punching out my lights
I have to say goodnight
I'm leaving before your punching out my lights
I have to say goodnight
I'm leaving before your punching out my lights
I have to say goodnight
I'm leaving before your punching out my lights
I'm leaving.
2.Ships With Holes Will Sink
I think I died this time
Suffered bullet holes
And stop wounds in my side
I think I'm solving crime
I've got a couple of clues
And a hunch that swells like a fool boy
Time, make time for us, make time for us
Can't even sing for words
You know I'm far too shameful
It's not fair
I think I've lost my math
I've got some figures and facts
And other clues that help follow your tracks
I think I've lost my legs
Knowing me they're sittin
At the bottom of the deep blue sea
Make time for us, make time for us
Can't even sing for words
You know I'm far too shameful
Ships with, ships with
Holes will sink
And I will swim
Ships with, ships with
Holes will sink
And I will...
Ships with, ships with
Holes will sink
And I will swim
Swim
Make time for us, make time for us
Can't even sing for words
You know I'm far too shameful
It's not fair
Make time for us, time for us
Can't even sing for words
You know I'm far too shameful
It's not fair
Make time for us, make time for us
Can't even shout for words
You know I'm far too shameful
It's not fair
Make time for us, make time for us
Can't even sing for words
You know I'm far too shameful
3.Roll Up Your Sleeves
Roll up your sleeves
We'll head out for winter I know
The nights will get colder
And I'll make my bed
Make sure I'm all fed and asleep
And Wake when we're older
Slower
But I can wait this out
Forming an orderly queue
Outside your house
Roll
Up your sleeves for winter
And I can wait till summer
When you're warmer
Roll up your sleeves
We'll head out for winter I know
The nights will get colder
And I'll make my bed
Make sure I'm all fed and asleep
And Wake when we're older
Slower
But I can wait this out
Forming an orderly queue
Outside your house
I'm not even kiddin'
Roll
Up your sleeves for winter
And I can wait till summer
When you're warmer
Roll
Up your sleeves for winter
And I can wait till summer
When you're warmer
Stay calm (x9)
Keep warm
Keep warm
4.Conductor
It's just a come back
Another come back
Far too orchestrated
Far too calculated
A conductor
Just our conductor
Pointed me
And hear me speak
Cause I'm a conductor
A simple conductor
With electricity just
Pouring through me
You're a habit
Another bad habit
Keep biting my nails in case
All else fails
For us
You are a fine wine
Another fine fine wine
Appointing in me
And hear me speak
You're a conductor
A simple conductor
With electricity just
Pouring through me
With electricity
Pouring through me
5.A Half Built House
zero, zero, nine, six
two, two, five, one
two, one, one, zero
eight, one, zero, five
6.This Is My House, This Is My Home
Woke when it was dark,
wait for day to start before you leave,
turned on both the lights,
what we found we didn't like so we turned our back,
Oh no you found me,
Oh no you found me, here
Somethings happened in the attic,
there's no way I am going up there,
Somethings happened in the attic,
We both know I'm not going up there,
Oh no they found me,
Oh no they found me, here
Somethings happened in the attic,
there's no way I am going up there,
Somethings happened in the attic,
We both know I'm not going up there,
Somethings happened in the attic,
This is my house, This is my home
7.Quiet Little Voices
Quiet little voices creep into my head
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again
Quiet little monsters creep into my bedroom wall
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you
Quiet words of wisdom creep into your victim's ears
I'll die for you
I'll die for you
I'll die for you
In any which direction, call me
I will run for you
I'll come for you
I'll die for you
I'll come for you
Quiet little voices creep into my head
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again
Quiet little monsters creep into my head
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you
I'll fall
Quiet little voices
Quiet little voi-
Quiet little monsters
Quiet little mo-
Quiet little voices
Quiet little voi-
Quiet little monsters
Quiet little mo-
I'd better start now
I'd better start
Quiet little voices
Quiet little voi-
Quiet little monsters
Quiet little mo-
8.Moving Clocks Run Slow
Moving clocks run so slow
I can't take my eyes off you
There's too many hands
To keep my eye on
Looking towards the light
Look a little cross-eyed
Sounds a little tongue-tied
The fast approaching midnight
We're locked out
The fast approaching midnight
So, you know, you take a little me
And I take a little you
We're all part of the century
So hold me down now, hold me down
A bitter disappointment
And I was restless, I was restless
You're winning me over
You're winning me over
Can't take my eyes off you
There's too many hands
To keep my eye on
The fast approaching midnight
We're locked out
The fast approaching midnight
So, you know, you take a little me
And I take a little you
We're all part of the century
9.Short Bursts
You looked at me
My blood went cold
You said come on
Who cares be bold
We'll leave before our blood will hit the floor
You looked at me
My lips went dry
You said come on
Who cares we'll die
We'll leave before our blood will hit the floor
You looked at me
My blood turned red
You said come on
Who cares you'll be dead
We'll leave before our blood will hit the floor
So come on in
You're looking rough
You're telling me you've had it tough
So take your hands
so take your hands off my chest
Sit back
Sit back
Loosen your ties
Loosen your knots
Sit back
Sit back
Loosen your neck
And fill your lungs
Sit back
Sit back
Loosen your ties
Loosen your knots
Sit back
Sit back
Loosen your neck
And fill your lungs
Sit back
Sit back
Loosen your tongue
And Loosen those lips
Sit back
Sit back
Loosen your tongue
And loosen those lips
Your silence is bearable
But only in short bursts
and then it becomes uncomfortable
Your silence is bearable
But only in short bursts
and then it becomes uncomfortable
You looked at me
My blood went cold
You said come on
Who cares be bold
We'll leave before our blood will hit the floor
And we'll teach you to die
10.Keeping Warm
Chances of being born, so slim
So keep warm
so keep warm
And take some heart
In being born
At quite so young
You can learnt to talk
and learn to walk
In your own time
You're so...
Take heart in being born
Making plans that you can't keep
That you've outgrown
You've taken this too far
Now take me home
There's nothing to eat
and there's nowhere to sleep
In these four walls
You're so young
Chances of being born, so slim
So keep warm
so keep warm
And take some heart
In being born
At quite so young
You can learnt to talk
and learn to walk
In your own time
You're so young
11.An Almighty Thud
I lost my crown
When it hit the ground
With an almighty thud
I went to pick it up
And reveal my weaknesses to the crowd
And I lost my home
when I lost my throne
to a successor
With far more expansive plans
than I ever did
I advocated
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to live here
I sat in my castle
and I waited on news
From one final battle
that we couldn't afford to lose
and I whispered suddenly
My greatest fears to anyone that would hear me
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're the last thing I want
I'm going to stay here
