We Don't Have Fun 04:39
lyrics
buy track
I haven't been myself I've not been someone else And I have not had time to tell my body it'll be okay And I know I'll feel better Because I always do And I won't just do it without your help I'll do it without you And we don't have fun No we don't have fun We just sit inside and wait for the rain to come 'Cause we don't have fun No we don't have a good time We just sit inside and wait for the sun to subside I've been over heating I have crossed my wires The bed always just feels too hot And I always feel too tired And chunks keep falling off me With pieces I can't see Well I found the cure for loneliness But it doesn't work on me We don't have fun No we don't have fun We just sit inside and wait for the rain to come 'Cause we don't have fun We don't have a good time We just sit inside and wait for the sun to subside And I know that you wouldn't 'Cause I know that's not you But the more I think the more I fear it's becoming me There's a body in my bed An apparition in my head That haunts the space between the bedside table And the space between your legs I found the cure for loneliness Is it in my head? I found the cure for loneliness Is it in my bed?

Oh No Yoko! 04:06

This makes me uncomfortable I think that you should know It's not as if I don't approve I do want to go home though I've been domesticated I was never wild You must know that by now You've known me since I was a child, boy Oh I just wish I was at home with Laura We could watch some Grand Designs and fall asleep Oh I just wish I was at home with Laura We could look online at all the flora we will buy One day Once all the streets fall away This all makes me feel upset And you have not been told I've not got a thing to say This conversation's grown old What did you expect from me? You know I don't cope If this is the way change is going I don't have a hope, man I just wish I was at home with Laura We could watch some Grand Designs and fall asleep Oh I just wish I was at home with Laura We could look outside at all the front doors we will buy One day Once all the streets fall away Away, away We'll live in a rooftop home In the city or the snow Someday, someday We won't have a thing to say, love I know you like it that way Someday, once all of this falls away Nothing anybody says Makes any sense these days And all I ever want to do Is sit by the water and waste the night away, away 'Cause you're the shimering face in the water Looking up from the lake, the lake

Linoleum (You're Doing Fine) 04:49
lyrics

This head filled with bubbles Is peeling like the tangering walls Of old Mediterranean buildings Just hung up on the spelling When I only have to say it How's my driving? (You're doing fine) How's my smiling? (You're doing fine) How's my driving (You're doing fine, you're doing fine, you're doing fine) Well I sold everything I have So now I'm left with nothing And I don't think it's that bad to get shit done I just wish I wasn't the only one Still not getting shit done How's my driving? (You're doing fine) How's my smiling? (You're doing fine) How's my driving (You're doing fine, you're doing fine, you're doing fine) Well I just need to do And get my body to the floor It's so cold but so comfortable PVC, linoleum When it rots and only then When the floor caves in then maybe PVC, linoleum Once it's decomposed I can But I can't tell the difference anyway PVC, linoleum Scoop it out and start again When the floor caves in then I'll be PVC, linoleum tools to break and tools to bend But I can't tell the difference anyway How's my driving? (You're doing fine) How's my smiling? (You're doing fine) How's my driving (You're doing fine, you're doing fine, you're doing fine) It's a mixed bag I suppose It's all a drag I suppose It's not so bad I suppose It's all I have

You Wish, You Wish 02:47
lyrics

They went to town on you today And if you close your eyes enough It's hard enough to see As he came bowling down the hill It wasn't what it did to him But what it did to me Well fix this place up, start again You wish, you wish They went to town on you today In almost every single way Yet still the memory fades As he went bowling down the hill It wasn't that we came for you But that you came for me Well fix this place up, start again You wish, you wish This is how it has to be? You wish Throw in the towel or throw in the key And watch them try to grab a piece You wish You wish You wish You wish You wish You wish Fix this place up, start again You wish, you wish This is how it has to be? You wish Throw in the towel or throw in the key And watch them try to grab a piece You wish

How Would I Know? 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I wish I could be somewhere opulant Where everything falls in to place, yeah The candle stays lit in some room in the back There's never a reason God only knows that So how would I know? Like pushing won't make something turbulent Like talking about it will help you repent They say there's a heaven You know that they're wrong 'Cause that's what it says in the scriptures and songs And that's how you know But how would I know? Something political Something crass Something ridiculous Something sad Something to cover your eyes helps you sleep Some act of kindness to humanise me But if the noise never ends Then you'll never switch off And all that you have makes you worry alot Oh it doesn't matter now It doesn't matter now I wish I could make something good of it But burying the hatchet's not burying the dead The room stays the same once the shiva's been sat And someone interjects with "it doesn't mean that!" Well how would I know? How would I know? Something political Something crass Something ridiculous Something sad Something to cover your eyes helps you sleep Some act of kindness to humanise me But if the noise never ends Then you'll never switch off And all that you have makes you worry alot If the noise never ends Then you'll never switch off And all that you have makes you worry alot Oh it doesn't matter now It doesn't matter now It doesn't matter now But how would I know?

Oll Korrect 02:10
lyrics
buy track
Small steps, small steps I don't think I know anyone now Wake up, get dressed Not lost my marbles They're all in my head Just bouncing and rolling around But never falling out Small steps, small steps Formaldehyde when wide awake Is just so inept Looking out at everybody looking in And the blue tints my eyes But the lack of motions' fine For a while Small steps, small steps A foot upon the clutch will roll me right back to bed But if I were you I wouldn't even try If you thought that cars would fly Well you'll still find me waiting with a smile Small steps, small steps A video to help me sleep with not one regret But it's the waking up that really drags you down And the conversation's nice until you'd rather be alone And yet again You're up driving yourself around the bend Small steps, small steps A work of art can sometimes just look like a big mess And that's the way I'll live my life for now So hail fellow well met I'll listen out to get the oll korrect And if I don't, well that'll be OK

Live in the City 04:39
lyrics

A cat on a driveway, NW3 It lives more comfortably than me Well the fire destroyed the market And the trainline did the rest Live in the city God I feel lonely God i'm wearing thin Live in the city Live in the city Live in the city with me We'd run away together But you know there's nowhere better Better than here Wait outside your house And we'll drive around for hours Well the supermarkets and coffee shops are the same Wherever you go Live in the city God I feel lonely God i'm wearing thin Live in the city Live in the city Live in the city with me You keep trying to dream up something But it's always the one where you run 'til it feels like you're falling You dress up mannequins And sit them round the table where your friends had been before And then you don't even bother Oh and everywhere's the same wherever you go When you don't go anywhere Live in the city God I feel lonely God i'm wearing thin Live in the city Live in the city Live in the city with me Oh please let me be in your gang I'll be the keys to your front door When you've forgotten before I'll twist and shout in any amount These insurmountable fears are forgotten about Oh please let me be in your gang I'll be magnolia on your wall And I won't mind at all I'll twist and shout in any amount Do all of the things I'd forgotten about All about Oh and live in the city Live in the city Live in the city Live in the city Live in the city Live in the city With me With me With me

It Feels Like Seconds, It Feels Like Forever 06:15
lyrics
buy track
Open a window The Earth floats below But it won't mind If I just need some space And airlocks, they break But I'm told it feels great to leave this Glorified hotel room of a home behind Two feet on the deck The Earth's not a speck But it's not much more than meaningless The floor, it never creaks No doors try to speak, it's all just Perfectly formed, whitewashed, and sterilised to me And space gets in to your mind And in to your eyes But it can't turn you blind If there's already no light Turn off my phone I'm going outside Tell them I'm busy so might not reply When the doors open it'll feel like seconds But it feels like forever First, step from the ship There's steel, then there's grit And then there's me But I still don't know what that means And I won't try to learn If there's fuel to burn then damn this Stay inside and wonder why life I lead A hallway lined with lights And more terrabytes than I can dream Are so much less than me I will put myself first If it all comes off worse then who cares? But I swear I've not been there since the day I left Years, and I've had enough The door opens up and everything that I've missed Is out there just like this Turn off my phone I'm going outside Tell them I'm busy so might not reply When the doors open it feels like seconds But it feels like forever Space flies past my screen Where have I been all this time? I feel like I've been asleep I float tied to the ship But how can it be that all this Weighed on me like the force of the space I'm floating in? I just want to go home I'll live my life like I'm meant to do I'll have all the modern worries But I'll get through And if the rocket explodes I don't think I'll mind all that much I don't think I'd care Turn off my phone I'm going outside Tell them I'm busy so might not reply When the doors open it feels like seconds But it feels like forever Turn off my phone I'm going outside Tell them I'm busy so might not reply When the doors open it feels like seconds But it feels like forever

Aragón 04:45
lyrics

They sent men into my town today They sent men into my house Four months for this place to be rid of me Four months for me to get out Every ship that sails from now Means that soon it might be too late Can any man with any power Just give me time to cooperate On the boats away from the shore I won't raise my voice anymore Other than for my old Aragon I threw out all that I know today Put my whole life on the fire There are so many people I want to blame But they keep telling me this goes higher There's not one thing that I can keep Other than the words on my lips I don't know how long I'll be walking for Down to the coast of Catalonia On the soles of my feet And until I feel complete I will mourn the loss of Aragon And now I know where I'd have been If it wasn't for The Queen And how I couldn't love any God I'd seen As much as my history Everything I forget from now Means it's just a little too late My life just has to adapt from now Even if it's not my mistake But I'll still proclaim From some empire far away I'll proclaim how I miss Aragon But every time I turn around it's like there's someone behind me And every time I stop to think I think that they're gonna find me Captured and asked for words of song How can I sing now that I'm gone? Still they demand "Sing us a song of Aragon" And on the holy days When I've sat down to pray I will pray next year in Aragon Oh I'll pray for I miss Aragon Oh I'll pray next year in Aragon

Build a Home 04:58
lyrics

I can't believe my eyes As much as I try It seems the sky keeps falling in I know noone wants to die Any more than I Any more than I So we hold it up This shithouse of bricks and mortar And it keeps falling down My town Can't keep on holding itself up As long as people sleep on the ground My town's got nowhere to live But there's so many people around My town Will keep on falling as long as these sandcastles keep getting blown down Look at how you're holding up In these office blocks that are growing up As high as the ground On which they stand You understand that I don't understand That I don't understand It won't let up This business of bricks and mortar's plugged so deep in the ground I've found It can't keep holding itself up As long as people sleep on the ground My town With nowhere to live But so many people around My town Will keep on falling as long as these sadncastles keep getting blown down And people gather at the station They're going home They're going home They're going home Their destination? They're going home They're going home They're going home Love, pick up the phone I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home (Well all I ever want to do was make a home Was make a home all on my own My own two feet To build a home But I'm on my own I'm on my own) All the towers so tall Well you should have known Before you built your home You should have known How my workplace has grown You should have known Before you built your home Yeah you should have known (Rent goes up in the places we've grown Turn a house in to a home and try to make it your own A top floor office panorama for you Of other building sights that will soon only block out your view) And thousands of pounds to be crammed in to carriages Well I am going home Waiting out in the rain read aloud from the jumbotron 'The forecasts looking fine' (Another carpark Another platform Another office built for you Another carpark Another platform Another office block for you Another carpark Another platform) Another place from which to jump

We Don't Have Fun (Reprise) 03:28

There's a body in my bed An apparition in my head That haunts the space between the bedside table and your legs My lungs cannot stop filling My knuckles don't quite crack Whatever time I lose from this I hope I get it back And we don't have fun We don't have fun If I feel rotten now then the rot has already begun 'Cause we don't have fun We don't have a good time And this will never change No matter how much I try I haven't been myself But that's all I can be And if the bats fly out of an open window It was I who set them free Well if that's the cure for loneliness it's lost on me We don't have fun We don't have fun We don't have fun We don't have fun (Chunks keep falling Chunks keep falling off me Pieces I can't Pieces I can't see)
