Tangerine

Rolled along like a tangerine
But lacked the muscle to do much of anything
Nothing's different anyway
No one said the words “here to stay”
Stood in line at the peloton
Lost in the moment I barked like a dog
Not here to stay
But here to say
"That's enough"

Isn't Everything?
03:41
|

The motors hum for the enthusiast
Does the carpet curl at the sign of your lover's glance?
An apron hangs upon a rainbow stand
Your airport card read "MLB or chance?"
If you ask me what it means to know a thing
Is a hotel or a wishing well everything?
If it's raining on your summer coat, don't you keep it clean?
See a hotel or a wishing well isn't everything
Led by the day but there's another way
Not busy being but busy in second place
Still you ride a road, you ride in minutes made
Place your shadow over a moment paid
An apron hangs upon a rainbow stand
Your airport card read "MLB or chance?"
If you ask me what it means to know a thing
Is a hotel or a wishing well everything?
If it's raining on your summer coat, don't you keep it clean?
See a hotel or a wishing well isn't everything
Isn't everything?

The First Stop is Time
03:51
|

|
A stick a stone, we rode alone
Where we woke up to the sound of drums
We danced along the tinsel mile
But couldn't recognise the clear blue sky
We listened to the wind in June
Through sleepless nights
Milk thistle in full bloom
Then I saw you
You were a daffodil in an ashen field
A major movement, a second wheel
Did we spring and slide into the moment's bow?
Now stood to say goodbye to Müllers Malz
We listened to the wind in June
Through sleepless nights
Milk thistle in full bloom
Now we're tired and tough
can't contemplate
The windows caved
Is there a change in everyday?
Was something lost in the silver pines?
Now no edging flight when you said
"The first stop is time."
"The first stop is time."
"The first stop is time."

Another World
03:21

One moment you're here
The next moment you're not
You fly in the morning
To see where your wife came from
Boca Raton
You re-mortgaged the day
Told jokes in the park
Did you piss off the neighbours strumming your new guitar?
Well, there's still your psalms
Now you're at the bottom
Did you wake up in another world?
And were your memories all returned?
Did you wake up in another world?
And were your memories all returned?
Your folks hadn't spoke
But that isn't your fault
Dharma on the nightstand
Not cursing your wedding band
See, you're a different man
You ran ahead and wrote
You meditate alone
Sat next to the old coats
Now soundless and overthrown
See you're not alone
Now he's at the bottom
Did you wake up in another world?
And were your memories all returned?
Did you wake up in another world?
And were you memories all returned?

Dutch Church Blues

Somewhere floating above the earth
You said you knew exactly what life's worth
But not quite what's like
Is it ok if I kneel and bless your knees to the most high?
If it makes you smile well I don't mind
How does it feel to hold Jesus in your heart?
Were you bound to be together from the start?
Did you make up with your family?
Or was it your mind just reaching out?
Or was it gods will that you needed?
Say hey there stranger
Will the re-arranger
Re-arrange us?
Re-arrange our songs?
Sat outside the green church door
Where you float like dust onto the concrete floor
Whatever it is that you're looking for
May you rise into your paradise and live on there forevermore
Say hey there stranger
Will the re-arranger
Re-arrange us?
Re-arrange our songs?

Looney Tunes

I know I've been up and down
But I'm so grateful you're still around
When I've got a picture inside my head
I can't draw another one
I know who we were way back when
Sat inside on the piano bench
I've been sat here ever since
To write another one
When you said
"You're not tethered"
Feels more like tarred and feathered
I know I am my mother's son
Terrified of when the hangman comes
I just stay up late in bed and pour another one
When you said
"You're not tethered"
Feels more like tarred and feathered
But I'll not make a mystery out of me
I'll stick around, see what there's left to see
If there's anything to see

It's not the end of the world
Just a fleeting mind over used
But an impossible concern
Tame another wave, another moon
How can you be one and two?
When your mind is not here in the room?
A fall and you'll be all consumed
And then I'll disappear inside myself like I do
And you won't know what's new
You sit and wait out the day
Another wave, another moon
And though you cannot complain
Always the same, another blue
How can you be one and two?
When your mind is not here in the room?
A fall and you'll be all consumed
And then I'll disappear inside myself like I do
And you won't know what's new

Cayton Bay Pillbox

Is that where the spotters sat?
Down where the ocean does its moves?
Are you dancing in the ballroom with the ghosts of all abandon
While I'm crouched over the Elvis pinball?
Can people change, turn into something new again?
Aerosol still burning bright
Where we built asbestos monuments and saw "Go lucky" slide
Is there freedom in compromise?
Is it you or a lonely life?
Now sat with a stranger for company, I put one foot down and asked him, "are you still with me?"
What became of one and I?
On the drive home south the sky hammered on all night
Still we made up and drove the miles
Pulled up 50 yards from the line
I'll settle down here for a week or two
Then drive 3 hours north
Up where the cold just cuts through
Light a candle for Lyn and Ty
Commute into the heart of Joseph's eye
Is there freedom when you walk the line?
Leaving one cup in the sink at night
Now there's a Sunday without a call
Now there's an every day that feels like one I've known before

I Woke up and Long Gone
03:14
|
|||
|
I listened to my old demos on the flight home
I watched the blinking lights on the wing for half of the time
Now no aches and no pain
Now there isn't any word to say
I woke up and I was long gone
But in the constant air
Everything is changing down where I was a thicket of grass
In the bowland coursing down the path
Now no aches and no pain
Now there isn't any word to say
I dreamt today about tomorrow and yesterday
I woke up and I was long gone
The clouds break and I can see the roads that I road
As if they didn't really exist at all
Now I know how foolish I can be

Put the Peg on the Line
02:48
|
|||
|
I dreamt we walked on Cayton rock
Skipped a few then stopped
Now there's nothing was something lost?
I'd rather not
At any point in time
Was there a state of one and I?
As time goes by you put the peg on the line
John, was I the silver son?
Sunk till I dropped
Wrote you a letter on the wall
Of the pillbox
But there's no flag here on the rocks
Is there a meaning in what is not?
As time goes by I put the peg on the line
Now the crow is always flying
Up above the Yorkshire sky
The hills they're a modern climb
They're multicoloured lines
And if you’d worked, you'd already know
To keep a roof like Iris told
As time goes by you put the peg on the line

Between Two Minds
05:57
|

Down at the beach front arcade
Stood at the southern prom
There I sat around and watched the guys play pool all day
Near to the Futurist estate
Sat on the Foreshore Road
Beneath the Grand hotel
And the boats with all their trimmings
I guess there's only one good way to forgive him
Just forgive him
But isolation, you're between two minds?
Was I another constraint?
Sat on the Westborough road
Where I sat alone and watched the trains pull out
On someone's holiday
But isolation, you're between two minds?
How could you be happy for the first time?
And not be carried along beside?
Was it meaning that you lacked?
Was it the old times you wanted back?
Was it a full stop or a duck?
Were you dreaming that's enough?
Now are you comfortable?
Sitting comfortable?
I don't think you know us
Then come out and show us
Do as you do
You'll be home soon
