Dark Walk 02:18
lyrics
It’s a dark walk, an unlit passageway Don’t stop to eat your Chinese takeaway She’s got a parrot on her shoulder And all the things it’s told her Brightens up her day It’s a dark walk and you’re an alluring ufo Burying your thoughts within the snow She’s got a monkey on her shoulder Because her mother told her She’s going to reach the sky Dew drops, after all we’re all the same Laughing, but we will not play the game She’s got a burden on her shoulder Feels like a massive boulder But the love takes away the pain (G, D) On a dark walk, you hid within the rain Don’t stop, just take away my pain

Bottled Sunshine 02:40
lyrics
I tried to bottle up the sunshine but I was out of time. I saw the glitter thief with his broken hand doing what he can I tried to catch the final train but I walked home in the rain You had an impertinent notion you could doubt my locomotion (Chorus) I'm on a train, to honesty and truth I'm on a train to a vision of youth I'm on the 17:41 into the sun You think I don't know what to do, but the jokes all over you If you wanna take life advice from me, be nice and get your vitamin c Turning up the volume to drown out the loud cockney on the phone The seats are uncomfortable, but still it's better than being alone at home (Chorus)

Would You, Darling? 04:12
lyrics
Sunset glow, is calling for me, i've been walking for miles. Go with the flow, what flow? Do you mean denial? Can't you see the orange tree is now draped with chandaliers Now there's boats in the sky and there's clouds in the sea Uncertainty is waiting for me just because it can Be yourself, what use is that when I don't know who I am? Emancipation's a figmentation to lonely souls and liars Don't pick a side, don't run and hide just let your heart transpire Somewhere inbetween consciousness and forgetfulness Trapped among the geometric shapes of my mind There exists a confusion usually reserved for lonely late night parties Set me on fire, would you darling? And let me burn in darkness

Tall Shadow From St. Madoes 02:18
lyrics
Haven’t you heard that time disappeared yesterday? Some say it was stolen, some say it's gone on holiday Then little Jimmy realised that he now had nothing to lose. Walked right down to sports direct and stole himself a pair of shoes Tall shadow from St. Madoes, he’s selling wheelbarrows To quiet folk who carry too much weight. People tell me I shouldn’t care About my reputation or my health People tell me I shouldn’t care But I just can’t help myself Didn’t I mention that nothing has meaning and meaning means nothing You can close your eyes and fantasise but it’s only yourself you are bluffing Then sally said to me so earnestly in her inimitable style Bippity-boppity loop-de-loop, come on now, where's that fucking smile? Tall shadow from St. Madoes, plays honky tonk piano To quiet folk who are lost in outer space.

Plastic Cup 02:12
lyrics
Tripping through Ultraviolet scenes With my head in your dreams I cut off My face To spite my nose (Chorus) Setting fire to the sea. Oh oh oh… So it’s warm for you and me I keep my soul in a plastic cup Because I do not trust myself My mind is strung Out towards the sky And I don’t know why My pockets are So deep I’ve lost myself Drinking my gin And cold lemonade On the promenade I’ve lost my soul To the sea For eternity I’m gooooooooooooooone! Bye bye

Straightjacket Blues 02:50
lyrics
A three-legged dog barked and gave me a fright. Out of my body and into the night Light and darkness fill up the sky The lungs of the cosmos are casually screaming at the speed of sound The icy cold winds gives me the chills Screaming into existence like a buzzard on pills But the dog days of summer are much too much for me The heat sticks and the sunlight leaves me struggling to see A six-legged frog sat and gave me the eye Sticking it’s tongue out, it swiftly caught a fly I couldn’t help but think it wanted me to die Then the sun set faster than you could say, I cannot lie Your love is untamed and your fretboard is stained With spray paint and blood. Is it yours or is it mine? Strumming in the sweltering heat, the chords are ringing out Floating through the randomly generated landscape of my mind It’s 30 degrees, and there is no breeze and I wish I would just freeze It’s 30 degrees and I’m in a straightjacket. It’s 30 degrees and there’s no going back Oh, what’s the use…

Don't Forget About Me 02:16
lyrics
Daisy Stargazer, wipe away your fears Daisy Stargazer, waste away the years Daisy Stargazer, hanging with the seers Daisy Stargazer, one too many beers You said that The world is spurious And we’re stuck in the queue for a Small glimpse of reality but please Don’t forget about me Daisy Stargazer, you’ll never reach the end Daisy Stargazer, you are your own worst friend Daisy Stargazer, the epistolary you penned Was a masterpiece, but glory wont impend Cos you kept it all to yourself You were worried what your friends would think If they could read it from the beginning to the bitter end Daisy sStargazer, picnic in a tree Daisy Stargazer, fuck the bourgeoisie Daisy Stargazer, we’ll never be free but Daisy Stargazer, don’t forget about me You said that Beatles tunes are sacrosanct I’ve got my guitar in hand I promise I wont play Get Back If you promise you’ll remember me

Twilight Zone 05:03
lyrics
I saw you there all alone, walking hours through the twilight zone Beside a river in west unknown, you just wanna know how to get home You couldn't hear a single sound, you're lost and can't be found, your stars have gone astray. But maybe it's for the best, maybe life is just a test, there's nothing to fear, maybe nothings really real. Singing the blues to your shoes, you've got nothing to lose Your fortune cookie cannot lie, you're a useless fucking waste of time. You didn't listen to what was said, the blues went to your head, there is no reason why. You didn't listen to what was said, the sky fell through your head, there is no reason why, maybe everything's a lie.
