Keeping My Number
02:57
|
|

Hard times are guaranteed
Hard times are gonna come for you and me
It doesn’t mean you’ll never say my name
It doesn’t mean I’ll never miss you
But we’re too late to make it work again
And though I hate to have to tell you
If you’re keeping my number
And you’re saying you won’t go there
Then I hope you remember
Not to try try try
Cause the nights will get longer
Till you see that we’re over
And you’re breaking my heart by making it hard
To say bye bye
Some dreams can be ignored
Some dreams will get inside and leave you raw
It doesn’t mean that you can catch them up
When you’re awake and nothing’s working
For what it’s worth I think we fell in love
The fall was great but now it’s broken
If you’re keeping my number
And you’re saying you won’t go there
Then I hope you remember
Not to try try try
Cause the nights will get longer
Till you see that we’re over
And you’re breaking my heart by making it hard
To say bye bye
Take these words
Learn them well
They’ll be yours for evermore
Time might mend
Time can’t bend
We can’t get to where we were
So my friend
If you’re keeping my number
And you’re saying you won’t go there
Then I hope you remember
Not to try try try
Cause the nights will get longer
Till you see that we’re over
And you’re breaking my heart by making it hard
To say bye bye

Eye Rhyme
03:05
|
|
||
Did I make this up?
Please tell me
Did I mess things up
Every single day
You’re the one I want
So why am I lonely?
Maybe we just maybe we just
Eye rhyme
A visible thrill but not a lifeline
Maybe we just maybe we just
Can’t find ourselves
Uh oh
This time
Did you pick me out
As someone
Did you pick me out
Only for the fun
Is it what you want
Or something to run from?
Maybe we just maybe we just
Eye rhyme
A visible thrill but not a lifeline
Maybe we just maybe we just
Can’t find ourselves
Uh oh
This time
I don’t know how we could change us
Sparks but no sweetness
Close but not close at all
If morning makes us both strangers
My place can’t save us
Your place can’t make us whole
But what was the point of all your confidence
And what was the point of both our names
If this is a full stop?
Maybe we just maybe we just
Eye rhyme
A visible thrill but not a lifeline
Maybe we just maybe we just
Can’t find ourselves
Uh oh
This time this time
(So what was the point of all your confidence
And what was the point of both our names?)
Maybe we just maybe we just
Can’t find ourselves
Uh oh
This time

Bad Times
03:04
|
|
||
When I work the beat and everything is on
And I want the night to last forever
There’s a look you give that takes me back to one
And a voice that says I’m going to lose ya
Oh oh such a stupid feeling but it
Oh oh
Comes without a warning and it comes without a warning and
These are the bad times
These are the the bad times
But we’ll survive them
Make for the good ones
Make for the good ones
If we can find them find them
I close your eyes and draw you near
Like that’s enough to keep you here
When you’re half-way gone from drinking Tenessee
And you strut like you’re the new Nirvana
There’s a look you give that tells me wait and see
And a night like this that makes me wanna
Oh oh such a dumb reaction
But I’m
Oh oh
Loose with my emotions and I’m loose with my emotions oh
These are the bad times
These are the the bad times
But we’ll survive them
Make for the good ones
Make for the good ones
If we can find them find them
I close your eyes and draw you near
Like that’s enough to keep you here
(I’ve got no trick in my bones)
(I’ve got no)
(I’ve got no trick in my bones)
(I don’t do bitter think a bit bigger and)
(Tell me what’s the matter here)
(You’ve got the place in my heart)
(You’ve got the)
(You’ve got the place in my heart that says I’ll)
(Never do better I’ll never do better it’s)
(One two three) so hard to say what’s on my mind
(Four five six seven) at least I try
These are the bad times
These are the the bad times
But we’ll survive them
Make for the good ones
Make for the good ones
If we can find them find them
(One two three) I close your eyes and draw you near
(Four five six seven) like that’s enough

Totally Numb
03:40
|
|
||
Climbing up the stairs
Of shameful situations
Feeling inappropriate
In this new house
And threw everything away
And threw everything away
Gazing eyes that stare
Towards the unknown
Towards the unknown
I am afraid of my future
I feel misplaced in my own skin
Not giving you the desire you desire
How come I could not feel
How come I became totally numb
And threw everything away
And threw everything away
And threw everything away
And threw everything away

Look For Rain
04:10
|
|
||
Since the time it took your car
Half a day to reach us
I’ve been scared of saying a last goodbye
Then you turn up once more
Say you somehow missed a turning
A turning
With no plastic in your lungs
And your laugh from elsewhere
You’ve come well prepared to stay the night
But you’re only half here
And you’ll go without a warning
A warning
You always look for rain at such strange times
Chasing your days away
April’s been on your mind for far too long
Make that your lullaby
And it needn’t take a bomb
To destroy the moment
Now you’ve trained yourself to faint at will
But you say you’re OK
And you only need some quiet
Some quiet
You always look for rain at such strange times
Chasing your days away
April’s been on your mind for far too long
Make that your lullaby
Make that your luh-uh-uh
They’ve opened the garden now just to see you cry
Make that your lullaby
And if time could only tell
Then I’m sure you’d tell me
But it’s hard to hear a thing you say
Cause you’re only half here
And you’ll go without a warning
You always look for rain at such strange times
Chasing your days away
April’s been on your mind for far too long
Make that your lullaby

Director
04:28
|
|
||
I am an actor
Guided by a director
Taking over my current days
Scene after scene
The story develops
Without me being there
I pulled myself away from you
Thinking I had stopped
My mind before
While I was overthinking everything
When I did it before
The master and the puppet
Took control over movements
So I was both at once
Got rid of a heavy weight
But was it me who did it?
I’m not sure but it was inexorable
I pulled myself away from you
Thinking I had stopped
I pulled myself away from you
Thinking I had stopped
My mind before

Split Me Up
03:57
|
|
||
Let me split me up
I’ll take with me whatever I’m holding
No need to pack
I’ll get to you
I’ll split me up and go
In this way I can be both
Now half of me is half with you
I don’t need to be complete forever
I don’t need to be complete for now
I don’t need to know
You don’t need to know
We don’t need to know
Half of me is gone, gone
Half of me is gone
Half of me is real
Cause I don’t need brightness to love you
Hold my half
It’s fully there
A member of the club
I signed for thirty years
So hold my half
So I won’t break in two
I don’t need to be complete forever
I don’t need to be complete for now
I don’t need to know
You don’t need to know
We don’t need to know

High Before My Time
03:38
|
|
||
Who am I to try to guess
Which of the districts you go with best?
It’s gonna take a taxi
But that’s OK
Cause you’ve got the money
And I think I know the way
It’s really nothing like a disco
But we dance oh oh
Dance all all the same
I know that I’m high before my time
I’m heady with something right now
But when I get down from my cloud
I know there’s a life of love and loss ahead
And no-one gets all they’re after
But tell me at least you’ll be there
Half a joke to make your day
Not that I’ve seen you beneath OK
You’ve got the disposition
I knew I’d need
And if this is guessing
Then I’ll go where guessing leads
It’s really nothing like a disco
But we dance oh oh
Dance all all the same
I know that I’m high before my time
I’m heady with something right now
But when I get down from my cloud
I know there’s a life of love and loss ahead
And no-one gets all they’re after
But tell me at least you’ll be there
I fake your number
I fake your number but it goes through anyway oh uh oo
You’re straight on over
You’re straight on over and it feels like we’re the same
I know that I’m high before my time
I’m heady with something right now
But when I get down from my cloud
I know there’s a life of love and loss ahead
But tell me you’ll stay till the end

Albany
03:02
|
|
||
You say you’ll prove it
In dextrous carpet
You’ll cut it you’ll thread it
You’ll count down the holes till you sleep
You’re scared I’ll find you
Too much to go through
I get it you fight all the hopes you’re afraid you can’t keep
But when they come to speak
Bliss could be
Ah ah ah ah
Both of us seeking
Seeking
Albany
Ah ah ah ah
Out of the whole wide
Ah ah ah ah ah
With 5 good reasons
You’ll do your week in
But show me the briefing that got you this close to the blues
And while there’s time to lose
Bliss could be
Ah ah ah ah
Both of us seeking
Seeking
Albany
Ah ah ah ah
Out of the whole wide
Company company company
Though we don’t quite run to cars yet
What you need’s given en en en
Come with me come with me come with me
Beneath all the skies you dreamed of
What you need’s given en en en
Bliss could be
Both of us seeking
Seeking

Chasing Silhouettes
03:01
|
|
||
I came round in silver
Head full of sound
Tried to see myself tried to see myself in the pavement
All the stones or nothing
I tried to remember
How long you stayed
Could’ve been a while could’ve been a while or a moment
One more night to throw away
I never knew I could catch your eye
Always knew I’d break down inside
Before I found out what lay there
Life gave me time but I passed it by oo oo
Oo oo oo
Look to the sky
Try to figure out try to figure out what the stars say
Both our names or nothing
I never knew I could catch your eye
Always knew I’d break down inside
Before I found out what lay there
Life gave me time but I passed it by oo oo
Breaking out in mirrors
See the city turn
Bigger big small
Make it run
Make it run forever
Chasing silhouettes
Never gets old
I never knew I could catch your eye
Always knew I’d break down inside
Before I found out what lay there
Life gave me time but I passed it by oo oo oo
Oo oo oo
Oo oo oo
