Stuart Braithwaite

Who might know of this?
The notes we left
Our final thoughts
And we knew they'd get us out

*Sink, sink*
*Drowned* by our country
Old machine
Is cursed and forgotten
Never surface again

The air runs out
The captain's first
So we take to memories
And layers of clothes

Up there the family waits
And outside we heard hammers
Noises sound like the end
And we will never see them

Sink, sink
Drowned by our country
Great machine
Is cursed, old and rotten
Never surface again

Of all I knew, I held too few
And would you stop me if I tried to stop you?

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself would you care at all?

When I drive alone at night
I see the street lights as fair grounds
And I've tried a hundred times
To see the road signs as day-glo

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself would you care at all?

A bullet of sunlight pierces the clouds; golden heaven touches ground,
I see that childhood toy that hangs above the crib and spins around,
Except it is suspended from a golden yellow sky,
With paper mache animals and gargoyles hoisted from it,
The golden Porsche makes its way up a Great Plains highway,
Glaring sunlight from its grill,
We never get a glimpse but there is the suspense,
Of being hunted by a freak

Are you still into it? 'cause I'm still into it.
We haven't had sore bits for about a fortnight.
Am I your only one? 'Cause you're still my only one.
But if you need more, I'll just do it in some, right.

We should go into town and spend some money.
We could go to the pictures and see something funny.
We'd share a popcorn and we can go to the pub at night.
We can get right tanked up and go home and have a fight.

Will you still miss me, when I'm gone?
Is there love there, even when I'm wrong?
Will you still kiss me, if you find out?
I will now leave here but don't follow me.

It's hard to see.
He said to me.
It's hard to see.
He said to me.

Tried my best
Failed the test.
Did my worst.
Came in first.

What happened after the storm?
Was everyone ok?
I tried to call again
I think they've gone away

We'll come back the other way (x4)

I dreamt of an ice age today
Cold and white to see
I walked for miles and miles
They came back another way

We learnt them as we went
Forgot them straight away
The ones we left behind
The ones we sent away

We'll come back the other way
We'll come back the other way
We'll come back the other way
We'll come back the other way

(Japanese)
無限に?がる
意識の?を?き
鼓動だけを?りに
君に向かう時
開かれた?は永久（とわ）の可能性を映し
君と僕の交わす言葉をつなげる
重く垂れ下がる憂鬱の形を思い浮かべ
そこにあるはずの心
やがて?音に?き消され
覆われて光に?り
?ることを望む?は走る
?かに止まる白い波
水面（みなも）で跳ねる
雲の歌?
狂う日差しに約束の文字
足元に?がる
思考のかけらを見つめ
?わぬものに希望の?
星は誰のものに
悲しみの最後はいつか
僕らに返される物語は?く
影に映る瞳に
?山の微笑みは無?に?ぶ
出口への視線
最愛の風景
幻がもたらす
白い瞬間と手のひら
全て?幅の中に存在し
溢れる水に到着の鐘
空の端と夕闇の喧?
夜を越えて
沈?の時
ともし火消して
月夜の道を
無垢な笑顔に未完の幸せを

(Translation)
It stretches on forever
I walk through this abyss of consciousness
Relying only on my heartbeat when I face you
The open blue reflecting eternal possibility
The words we exchange intertwine
A melancholy figure, hanging heavily
Surfaces in my mind
There must be a heart there:
Soon noise will drown it out
Returning to the concealed light
My voice raised, yearning to go back
White waves stop quietly
The song of the clouds breaking the surface
Letters of promise to the insane sunlight
I gaze at the fragments of thought spread out at my feet
Tears of hope for those unfulfilled
To whom do the stars belong?
Someday this sadness' end
Will be returned to us and the story will continue
Silhouettes reflected in my eyes:
Countless faint smiles lined up before me
Gazing towards the exit
This beloved landscape
A vision brings
An instant of whiteness and the palm of my hand
All exists within one stride
Bells sound the arrival of the flood
The bridge of the sky and the clamour of twilight
I pass through this night; in silence
I extinguish my lamp, and in the moonlit street
Give an innocent smile for the happiness to come

We gotta... we gotta do something about this.
When do you think you could make it over here? How long?
I could try and get... 25 minutes maybe.
Right.
I'll try.
OK.
But we got to sort this out.
OK. I'm just gonna go, I'm going to head off just now and just try to speak to some people about this.
Well you got to do something.
Yeah.
Cause if we don't take care of this then... I don't even want to think about it. Hello.
Hi Colin.
Hiya.
It's Martin.
Hi Martin.
I'm sorry to bother you.
It's alright.
But we've got a bit of a sketch going on here.
What? What?
Well, it's pretty hard to explain.
So tell us. What?
Right. We were down at Vics and Stuart and Dominic got into a bit of a row.
Hmm hmm
And Stuart was getting a bit stroppy with Dominic and it ended up with Dominic punching Stuart and walking out.
Hmm hmm
Saying he's not coming back. Stuart's saying that he's out and stuff like that.
Right.
Stuart's away as well.
Where's Stuart away to?
He just phoned his dad and left.
And is John still there?
No he went away with Stuart for some reason. To try and calm him down or something. It was a full bloody sketch man. I don't know what to do. We've this thing on Tuesday.
Right. Kind of limited to what I can do. ??????

I can hear the birds singing to me, outside.
Talk to cats for a while.
Try so hard to turn a life, inside out.
Everyone knows when to smile.

But I don't see too much these days.
'Cause I don't want to.
"Let me go" she said.
And I'll find it.

I wanted to see
if fire would burn me.
I thought I would know
if four walls could hold me.
