Death of England
01:58
|
|||
This night the sky is extra dark
The death of England
Take my place in the belly of the shark
The death of England
Goodbye, knock it out the park
The death of England

Born Stupid
02:33
|
|||
Well I could've been a doctor or a lawyer
Playing golf with my rich friends at the club
But I had to be born stupid
Why did I have to be
Born stupid
Without no sense at all
Why did I have to be born stupid?
Why did I have to be born stupid?
With all the strife and peril in this world?
I'd like to help make things better
But instead I had to be
Born stupid
Without no sense at all
Why did I have to be born stupid?

The Essex Idiot
00:43
|
|||
Are you an inmate under duress?
Despair incumbent inside my chest
The Essex idiot I've searched for all along
One I feel sad for, who didn't belong
One that's a part of me
Alive in my arteries
In my history

Paternoster

Paternoster
I try not to feel an imposter
at your behest
We all face these kicks to the chest
but life goes on
We just have to learn when to step off and on

Dance
01:25
|
|||
Tender actions
without words
Read the language
of the birds
Read the language
of our bodies
Be ourselves
Never copies
We can laugh
We can weep
We can dance
We can sleep
Fan the flames
of desire
Pumping air
to feed the fire
Love is having
Desire is wanting
Eros dancing
Invite me in

The Chance Has Gone
01:27
|
|||
You got it in a way that no one else could
Lyrically uncomfortable, not beating around the bush
and you said my act was weirdly kind of sexy
(Even though I pulled the rip cord and clearly no one wants to fuck me any more)
Charles Aznavour
Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg
The Chantels, Sparklehorse, It's Time To Be Clear
Lullaby For Scout In 10 Years
The reference points were ideal
"Make it direct and real" you said
Right now I should be gossiping and laughing
and working with my friend
I would've been so proud of that one
Now the chance has gone

Peaceable Kingdom
01:18
|
|||
What I thought I was vacated me
Accepting it all placated me
Now it's up to me to talk myself of this ledge
Elsewhere they don't ignore such a sign
In the old town they shut down the mine
Heaven knows that is fine by you
Love is the answer
So don't ask the question
An act of true faith
Without malicious intention
Can you see this view?
Can you see what they've done to you?

Terra Damnata
01:02
|
|||
What's wrong with you
is wrong all the way through you
Hot gases drawing in
and black scoria seeping out
|
||||
10. |
||||
Some things you wave away will crush you inside
And some things hurt you and help the others thrive
And some things that don't kill you
Make you regret still being alive
But it's too late to change
What do you do?
Wouldn't you have loved to be confident too?
Wouldn't you have loved to be confident too?

This night the sky is extra dark
The death of England
Take my place in the belly of the shark
The death of England
Goodbye, knock it out the park
The death of England
