Slow Puncture
03:59
|
|||
A pale voice and a paper tear
The bullets scud, hunting blood
But it’s friendly fire my love
We changed tyres but we’re losing air
So hold me close as we drive
We’re in for a bumpy ride
It’s just a slow puncture
Bringing us down
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down
The thread broke so we’re ripping seams
I’m daring you to deny the fear that you had to hide
The snow’s deep but we’re dressed in dreams
Oh honey hang on cos we’re all just surviving here
It’s just a slow puncture
Bringing us down
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down
I see light on dark days
It’s just a slow puncture
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down

I Am (FREE DOWNLOAD)

I am the sweet defender
I am the one you bruised
I am sick of feeling
I am sick
Of feeling used
I am the one who held you
I am the one who was always there
My heart, so swollen and sick to find
That love was useless
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away
I am the one left craving
I am the one who ends up alone
I am the one who loved you
I am the one you don’t
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away

No Fireworks
03:03

We find so little to fight about these days, don’t we?
We don’t torture each other any more - there’s no point
So come in love let’s huddle together
As the planes carve up the sky the stars swerve satellites
Trying to send hopeful signs home
There’s no fireworks for us this year
There’s no need to make explosions in the air
So no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
There’s something else
I can’t write happy songs but I
Feel safe sometimes
Won’t push you away from me any more
Oh darling press your cheek to mine, will you
Let’s pray faithlessly together for the future
If there’s one
There’s no fireworks for us this year
There’s no need to make explosions in the air
So no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
No I don’t mind
There’s no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
There’s no fireworks for us this year
There’s no need to make explosions in the air
So no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
There’s something else

Scared To Capsize
04:38
|

Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
Wasn’t worried by the time, no
The time, but
What took you so long?
Wasn’t bothered by the lukewarm emotion
I played along
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
So you spill your heart all over computer
But not to my eyes
Darling drink your nervous wine, yeah
I know you’re scared to capsize
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing to do
There’s nothing to do
There’s nothing to say
I think that it’s time you went away
I’m sorry I wrote
I’m sorry I called
I’m sorry I broke your easy fall
I’m sorry I cared
I’m sorry I tried
I’m sorry I cried in front of you
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise

ghostsandshadows

Lately I’ve been receiving photographic flashbacks
From distant conversations
Vacant
Now I don’t sleep
I’m trying not to think
I’m feeling wired
But I don’t wanna talk to somebody
They’re just my suffocated memories
That’s all
I feel connected up [I feel]
To every time it hurt [it hurt me]
To every little detail
But I don’t wanna talk to somebody
They’re just my suffocated memories
That’s all
So I’ll keep my ghosts
Embrace my shadows
I’ve come to love my lows
My ghosts and shadows
But I don’t wanna talk to somebody
They’re just my suffocated memories
