Broken wing
03:48
|
|||
I can’t resist a broken wing
It’s a weakness in my heart
I want to mend this fragile thing
Before it’s torn apart
I’ve got a history of empathy
With the person in decay
I let them in, the down-and-out
The waif and the stray
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why
Take advantage all you like
I’m a well of feel-good vibes
Generosity tends to spiike
When I feel I’m improving lives
I wish I could resist the urge
To lift you higher than me
But needs must, just say the words
And we could both be free
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why
I don’t know why
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why
I don’t know why
I don’t know why

Head-on collision
04:23
|
|||
Driving down a different road
I can’t see the destination
All I know’s what I’ve been told
Patience will be your salvation
Driving down a different road
Looks to be a new location
Breeze is blowing, getting cold
Darkness brings a new frustration
But I
See the headlights
Make a decision
But I
Get caught in this
Head-on collision
It’s you and me
So finally
We have crashed into each other
Just win the fight
And get it right
There’s so much to discover
Flashing lights and
Satellites
We have found our way to space
Away from Earth
And our home turf
We’ve gained the speed to win this race
It’s been a long time coming
It’s been a long time coming with you
Coming with you
But I
See the headlights
Make a decision
And I
Get caught in this
Head-on collision
It’s you and me
So finally
We have crashed into each other
Just win the fight
And get it right
There’s so much to discover
It’s you and me
So finally
We have crashed into each other
Just win the fight
And get it right
There’s so much to discover
But I
See the headlights
Make a decision
And I
Get caught in this
Head-on collision
It’s you and me
So finally
We have crashed into each other
Just win the fight
And get it right
There’s so much to discover
It’s you and me
So finally
We have crashed into each other
Just win the fight
And get it right
There’s so much to discover

Modus operandi
04:55
|
|||
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
Never knew what was to follow
How can we be certain that the world
Will be here tomorrow
The irony that liberty
Means limiting the rights of another
Just tell me is that the mouth
With which you kiss your mother
Left or right, why must we fight
Why must we do it hour by hour
Each side sets its sights
On ultimate power
We waited a long time
We waited for ever
Wanting to see your behaviour
We waited a long time
But never say never
Now we know you’re not
Our saviour
Peddling social injustice
Engage politically
With tax-exempt institutions
A state that claims to be religiously free
Donations come pouring in
The dollars come in handy
To sway those followers
Blind to your modus operandi
Left or right, why must we fight
Why must we do it hour by hour
Each side sets its sights
On ultimate power
We waited a long time
We waited for ever
Wanting to see your behaviour
We waited a long time
But never say never
Now we know you’re not
Our saviour
We waited a long time
We waited for ever
Wanting to see your behaviour
We waited a long time
But never say never
Now we know you’re not
Our saviour

Walking in circles
Playing the fool
Demanding attention
Breaking the cardinal rule
Why can’t you be like the rest of us
I know you could be the best of us
Somewhere between darkness and light
You find your way
Juggling the sun and the moon
Every day
Why can’t you do as you’re told
Why can’t you behave
Speaking the first words that enter your mind
Thinking that it’s brave
Why can’t you be like the rest of us
The rest of us
I know you could be the best of us
Somewhere between darkness and light
You find your way
Juggling the sun and the moon
Every day
I know it’s not in your nature to compromise
But I wish you could see what’s before your eyes
Why can’t you be like the rest of us
The rest of us
I know you could be the best of us
Somewhere between darkness and light
You find your way
Juggling the sun and the moon
Every day
Somewhere between darkness and light
You find your way
Juggling the sun and the moon
Every day

Anyway
04:00
|
|||
I watched them all expire
I watched them all decay
Who wants to live for ever
Anyway
I saw them shuffle on
I watched them every day
Who needs to be in love
Anyway
Two hearts that beat as one
But nothing goes my way
Who needs companionship
Anyway
I came down from the stars
It’s you who made me stay
Who wants to make it right
Anyway
I watched them all expire
I watched them all decay
Who wants to live for ever
Anyway
I need to make a move
Before I go insane
Who wants to stay the same
Anyway

I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not
Look at me now
What do you see
A fading shadow of what used to be
Look at me then
The mountains I climbed
Achievements I left so far behind
Can we change it
Can we change it for good
Can we change it
I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not
Someone misspoke
They told an untruth
They peddled a lie without producing the proof
A scene without change
A life without cause
Presuming the facts without slowing to pause
Can we change it
Can we change it for good
Can we change it
I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it, I thought it,
Was getting better
I thought it, I thought it,
Was getting better
I thought it, I thought it,
Was getting better
But it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not
I thought it was getting better but it’s not

Freedom
04:36
|
|||
Freedom comes too easily
That’s what they say
They want you to work for it
All day and every day
A slice of Victoriana
Seems to be a must
Do your duty, work for ever
It’s the workhouse or bust
They’re so out of such
With their inheritance and land
But they run the country
And we know where we stand
Demonise the working classes
But our time will come
It’s time to stand with those who see it
These straight, rich white men are scum
If you think I’m being precious
And don’t agree with this song
If you think an oligarchy
Is healthy, then you’re wrong
But if you see that we’re not floating
In the same rotting boat
Exercise your only freedom
And vote
Of course they want you to think
It’s not their fault, you see
But we can track and trace
Each failure to their party
If you think I’m being precious
And don’t agree with this song
If you think an oligarchy
Is healthy, then you’re wrong
But if you see that we’re not floating
In the same rotting boat
Exercise your only freedom
And vote
Windrush
Grenfell
Free school meals

If you think I’m being precious
And don’t agree with this song
If you think an oligarchy
Is healthy, then you’re wrong
But if you see that we’re not floating
In the same rotting boat
Exercise your only freedom
And vote

Breaking through
04:35
|
|||
Sunshine breaking through
From behind the clouds
I wonder how
We came so far
In such a short amount of time
Mountains breaking through
From beneath the clouds
I wonder how
They came so far
Just so we could climb
It’s never easy
Breaking through
But sometimes
It’s just the only thing to do
Force equals mass times
Acceleration
Deliberation
Obsessing over exactly what
We are meant to do
Zooming in
Into fractal detail
What does that entail
Examining
The what and why and who
It’s never easy
Breaking through
But sometimes
It’s just the only thing to do
It’s never easy
Breaking through
But sometimes
It’s just the only thing to do

Dear Janet

|

Dear Janet
I didn’t plan it
It was just a mistake
The kind we all could make
You know I’m not that smart
Got your best interests at heart
What’s done is done, what’s said is said
And now I’ve got you stuck in my head
Oh Janet
I didn’t plan it
I just fell into a trap
We’ve all done that
I still have your coffee cup
I haven’t even washed it up
It smells of you, it tastes of you
What is left that I can do?
Oh Janet
Dear Janet
Dear Janet
Oh Janet
Dear Janet
My words can’t span it
My feelings for you
It’s almost untrue
Every time I see you my heart sinks
I don’t know what my girlfriend thinks
I think I’m running out of time
I was the one who stole the washing from your line
Dear Janet
Dear Janet
Oh Janet
I’m watching you now as I write this note
I can barely keep myself afloat
Sorry to keep going on and on
But by the time you read this, I’ll be gone
Oh Janet

Feel the fear
04:26
|
|||
Sometimes just leaving the house
Can have such a profound affect on me
I go out
But I can’t find my feet
Sometimes I can’t make it out
I resign to stay put, stay here
I can’t move
All I feel is fear
Feel
Feel the fear
Feel the fear
Feel the fear
Sometimes just being without you
Can cripple my sense of confidence
I fall deep
And it doesn’t make sense
Sometimes my thoughts get dark
And it leads me somewhere I don’t wanna be near
I stay still
All I can feel is fear
Feel
Feel the fear
Feel the fear
Feel the fear
Feel
Feel the fear
Feel the fear
Feel the fear
Feel
Feel the fear
Feel the fear
Feel the fear

Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you
I suppose you think it’s funny
To treat me as you did
But I’m here to tell you, honey
I’m not some pesky kid
And so you let me down
You disappointed everyone
You behaved like such a clown
Except without the fun
Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you
‘ere we go again
Self-righteously wrong
You can be such a pain
Have been all along
And still you let me down
Disappointing everyone
Your nose stained with brown
Boss thinks you’re number one
Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you
