Send The Boats 03:44
lyrics
The Captain says "We've got 10 minutes Before she's under and we're fish food!" 'Cause it's 2:20, I swear I didn't see it It was on my watch and I'm going down... Send the boats Send the helicopters Just find me before I'm gone Send the boats Send the planes Just find me, I'm going down again I'm flying over mountains I'm crossing deep, deep ravines But I'm not falling, I'm floating Into your life and out again Send the boats Send the helicopters Just find me before I'm gone Send the boats Send the planes Just find me, I'm going down again The only light in my life now is phosphorescence I'm a birdman, no I'm Neptune I wear a morning suit of kelp I am Davy, call me Davy...

Something's Gotta Give 02:47
lyrics
Here we go making our home Looks alright but something’s wrong The walls are bowing inward Steam floats through the air Here we go speaking our mind Voices sweet, faces kind But I can smell sulphur Every time you whisper in my ear Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give Who’s gonna jump first? Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give Look at us wasting our time Waiting for our ships to come in There’s blood in the water And the sharks are circling I could tell you that our love will beat all Tell you we’re still standing tall But my heart is exploding With the pain of trying not to fall Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give Who’s gonna snap first? Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give Somethings gotta give All the things you are Are things you did An animal that kills to be kind And the shadows Are on the prowl again The sad things howl outside our home again...

Winter Song 03:51
lyrics
Every rainbow pot of gold Don't stop you getting old Lift the lid on my life: Payment overdue This garden's made for playing in But snakes inside the darkened shed Mother's voice in heavy mode: "Keep it clean or lose your head" Winter song Keep spinning on and on Last night I held your hand As the shakes began, oh Winter song Keep spinning on and on Footprints in the sand Ripples on the pond You don't get long… I can't believe you laughed at it It came to get you late last night You stink of it, you smell of it Look it left a nasty bite It grows inside you doesn't it? Tell me what it feels like? Can you put your finger on the feeling? Winter song Keep spinning on and on Last night I held your hand As the tears began, oh Winter song Keep singing while you can Footprints in the sand Ripples on the pond You don't get long…

Suffer Fools 04:16
lyrics
You've broken down again Hit me with your fist Drunk and emotional With a bitter twist Lurking in your head Is a fantasist Speaking in tongues Spiking your tongue Till it is poisonous I suffer fools.. I suffer fools... I suffer fools like you Here comes the moon again Swollen like the fear Creeping at night Swallowing light Until I disappear You've broken down again Stabbed me with your pen It's coming down Crashing around Our little home You suffer fools… You suffer fools… You suffer fools like me Our hearts-a-beating but Wow and flutter and phase Will spell the end of these glory days The dust will gather on our infant cheeks Till the universe grinds its gears And carries on without us You've broken down again Stabbed me with your pen It’s coming down Crashing around Our ears I suffer fools You suffer fools We are the fools right here

The Bats 03:46
lyrics
Taking to the air I’m weighted down by gold I fall, fall, fall Alarm bells fill my ears As the love I took from you Grows cold, cold, cold Hello, you look so small I'm okay in the dark But tell me that was you and not The bats, the bats, the bats The silver map of you Will keep me safe from harm From the bats, the bats, the bats Water fills my chest And my bones they turn to lead I sink, sink, sink A subterranean nest Of semi-detachedness I'm home, home, home Hello, you look so small I'm okay in the dark But tell me that was you and not The bats, the bats, the bats The silver map of you Will keep me safe from harm From the bats, the bats, the bats

All Eyes 03:32
lyrics
The Zeppelins have crashed The fields of corn are burnt The tears have dried but we can’t feel our hands The love I feel for you Is bitter like the wind That whips the land and scatters everything All eyes All eyes All eyes Turn to you Motels and bars Fill with empty cars Our cigarettes they glow like targets I miss your hands And your skirt of teeth When they bring me home Bury me deep All eyes All eyes All eyes Turn to you And the band stopped And the band stopped playing The band stopped playing our song I've got a big surprise I've got a big surprise I've got a big surprise Now close your eyes All eyes All eyes All eyes Turn to you They turn to you...

The Hateful Mob 03:47
lyrics
D16-Gate for “Port of Spain” We’ve met before When the seas teemed With Plesiosaur We kissed as the asteroid Snuffed out our idiot lives You didn’t have brown eyes then… But neither did I I love you now As I loved you then Your ever faithful Promethean I’m always yours I'll roll that boulder up the hill Then let it crush me Going round I'll always be your in-between Not up nor down Do you remember me? I gave my life to save you from the mob Bent on your destruction The hateful mob Our DNA bound and entwined On a beach that was once here in time But that beach is now a diner on the I-95 I gave my life to save you from the mob Bent on our destruction The hateful mob Do you remember me? I gave my life to save you from the mob Bent on your destruction The hateful mob I gave my life to save you from the mob...

Strangest Things 04:29
lyrics
Road without an end Filling up with cars Night without a friend Jammed full of dreams Our hearts they beat as one Too afraid to flam What is coming next is so unexpected Sometimes you say the strangest things, my love Sometimes you say the strangest things, my love Sometimes you say the strangest things, my love Sometimes it all comes out all wrong Iron in the mouth Silk across the throat Every little death you had was the end But now we sleep as one Waiting for the light Drying in the stillness Of the long dark night Sometimes you say the strangest things, my love Sometimes you say the strangest things, my love Sometimes you say the strangest things, my love Sometimes it all comes out all wrong Sometimes I think you want to hear me say: "I’m going, good luck, be safe my girl..."

Lucky Side Down 03:38
lyrics
One step closer So close now To being worm food The path I travel Is so narrow There's only room for one I'm lost here So lonely I can't stop reaching for your Cold shoulder It's like stone now Please help this poor boy Air escaping By scraping The chips are falling lucky side down Lucky side down For no-one No substance I'm simply falling lucky side down Lucky side down I remember the feeling When I stayed round yours Heart in my mouth No room for your tongue and mine I'm lost here So lonely I can't stop reaching for your Cold shoulder It's like stone now Please help this poor boy Let's go back to That Eden Stop the dice falling lucky side down Lucky side down I'm calling I'm begging Save me before I let the lovely side Lovely side down In my dreams we're together Like before, feels like forever In my head this is the future Like before it stinks of failure

Take Me Home 03:44
lyrics
I can feel the wind turn cold The sky’s gone dark The moon is tumbling down Towards the sea The horizon rises and falls On a wave of fire Stars and gases and dust Wash over me Could somebody take me home I think I’ve lost my way Been walking in the dark too long Could somebody take me home I miss my Ma and Pa I think I’ve lost my way Somebody take me Somebody take me home I’ve got an uneasy feeling That the sun’s gone out It makes me feel so sad Makes me scream and shout The last time you looked Was it still up in the sky? Or was it flickering off and on and off and on? Somebody take me home I think I’ve lost my way I’ve been walking in the dark too long Could somebody take me home I miss my Ma and Pa I think I’ve lost my way Somebody take me Somebody take me home...
