Little black numbers
Pushed over steel Is what you hear To make you feel free Little black numbers Pushed over wood Is all that you could live for You are to me Deeper than souls Pushed in the ground Time is a clock That pushed us together Makes us feel old Makes us feel old Sound pushing down Sound pushed us down If heaven and hell Were both in the same place Would fences appear If all the wasps were devils And bees were the angels We'd bat them about We'd bat them about But bees and wasps Are just fat men and thin girls They're just fat men and thin girls They're just fat men and thin girls Fat men and thin girls Fat men and thin girls Fat men and thin girls ... |

Smoke a galouise at the after show
Even though you gave up a year ago Think of all the ways to meet your heroes While she wraps you around her ego It's lost its charm Change the scenery round Pick the colours up town Where the noise is loud Now where did my spirit go You think you would have learnt by now That broken love can still be bound You still have the photos she looked her best When she was with you instead of all of the rest It's lost its charm Change the scenery round Pick the colours up town Where the noise is loud Now where did my spirit go Show me the way i'm sick of waiting For love to show its head again White blue and red My love changed from my head And left on its own |

Mirrorball
You lit every dark corner Made the air feel like it was dancing Your eyes like an old coloured vinyl Were hiding in grooves a smile Like a sweet aria I was searching for something divine And ended up making the mundane into my shrine And we all know A little but we're tricked by the same sense of wanting Like silence mistaken for knowing Like a desert's mistaken for sea Like a tongue has a mother We belong to each other We belong to each other Moonlight Is so overrated Complete darkness Is so embracive And as we travelled north There were crows and seagulls Stood on either side Like angels and demons And we knew what we wanted to hear The wind singing like your sweet aria And the clouds blew at shadows Tricked by the same sense of wanting Like silence mistaken for knowing Like a desert's mistaken for sea Like a tongue has a mother We belong to each other We belong to each other. |

If i was left to my own devices
I wouldn't go out in the rain If i was in a room with all of my vices You'd never see me again You sing 'cause you're loosing The last threads of night There's no time for dancing But maybe you might The sort of song you sing on sundays Could be as down as rain The things i do to get to see you The random hanging 'round on trains You sing 'cause you're loosing The last threads of night There's no time for dancing But maybe you might Pick your three favourite roll necks And catch the next flight But you won't |

Your shadow danced on the side of the train
All i was left with was a memory that was tamed I know there's no more in you than you The only thing that could keep us together now is glue And you daydream and saunter like life was your lover I know you'll be like that when you're older You were eyes moving slowly You were lips that knew their beauty i was nothing that i really am Trying to love this man You daydream I want the proof Insulting me more than i insulted you And you daydream and saunter like life was your lover I know you'll be like that when you're older |

Our lives were like lines on a map
You could measure us by comparison She found out if she took off her clothes She could score men by embarrassment We were nodding dogs in her company And she hitch hiked through houses Going nowhere on the sign But then she'd leave the sign behind And she said there was no music Before i came along They changed my brain And I made the beatles appear I made the beatles appear Out of nowhere You can drop me off here Seeing me at the side of the road With all the wheel trims You'd guess my old life comes with me a story for you But i made the beatles And I could even invent you |

You chose silence
You chose it more than life You chose everything that you could I knew from then more would be had from you 'Cause you blow the life You blew the light You blow the life out of her You sit around You sit around Wanting her To want you back You don't see yourself as the wolf You only see her as the girl You won't be out in the woods You'll be waiting for her behind the curtains You don't see the mess you've made You don't see the life you've taken from her With every breath you suck in You're more than the wolf You're more than the wolf Suck in like wolf Suck in, suck in, suck in Suck in, suck in, suck in Sucking |

Driving home from the wedding feeling static
From everything moving Like the man on his farm who fought for the motorway To be built on either side Everywhere tradition draws circles to define A big round honeymoon a wedding ring a hug from your dad As you walk in slowly And waltz back out again Everywhere tradition draws circles to define Everywhere tradition draws circles to define I thought of you all Up there drawing hearts above their heads Like plane trails drawn in permanent ink In permanent ink Driving home from the wedding Driving home from the wedding |

You said that i'm the best swimmer
You've seen give me a ring You sat there up on you're high chair Give me a ring 'Cause i can't swim to the edge Feel i'm becoming the marie celeste And there's choosing to live Instead of changing into a myth You said i'm better than deceit So give it a rest He's somewhere drinking 'til he forgets Who he really is He built himself up lonely Wish his life was as peaceful As the marie celeste And there's choosing to live But he'd love he'd love he'd love to be a myth And there's fight s on the wall How come pints are so small Than three months ago And there's choosing to live But it could end any minute so he'll drift he'll drift he'll drift into myth Into myth, into myth, into myth Into myth, into myth, into myth Into Myth |

The streetlights are on for you
Shine behind your curtains A carnival of cars on wet Bring shell sounds of oceans You light your fire And don't look down I watch the last light turn off in your flat And silence the town I'm inside the dark for you You're still shining Look at the mess i've made The path i've given you But you light your fire And don't look down I watch the last light turn off in your flat And darken the town You light your fire And don't look down I watch the last light turn off in your flat And silence the town |

Nnow is the time to find out why you're buying everything
Now is the time to find out why you sigh at everything You dress your self up to the top of your knickers And you smell so good it's like a box of chocolates But no one takes you home No one takes you home You've watched all the romance on the television It's too much to bear you've got to get a new sort of vision You've done your best at the gym you've got your lip-gloss on You're going to the doctors to see if it's a medical problem 'Cause no one takes you home No one takes you home It's breakfast, it's lunchtime, it's dinnertime Spent with all those women's magazines That tell you you're not as fine as you look To yourself in the mirror In the morning when you smile To get yourself out of the door To give life why can't life give you some more? 'Cause no one takes you home |
