Glass Stars

Whispers in the window say
Good life is in the morning
Bet you didn’t know that
And Lately she’s the weather,
She’s beating like river against the wind
Good lord it’s getting harder
She’s sailing down
Past the river of doubt
Tell me is it lonely coming down?
So strange the stars,
How they glisten like glass
Tell me is it cold out in the dark?
Oh when did it get dark?
Yeh when did it get dark
Painted is the picture
Of living in this house
Bet you didn’t know that
So click that pretty camera
Feel the beating of the ticker against the skin
Good lord it goes so fast
I’m sailing down
Past the river of doubt
Tell me is it lonely coming down?
So strange the stars,
How they glisten like glass
Tell me is it cold out in the dark?
Oh when did it get dark?
Yeh when did it get dark?
I’m sailing down
Past the river of doubt
Tell me is it lonely coming down?
So strange the stars,
How they glisten like glass
Tell me is it cold out in the dark?
Oh when did it get dark?
Oh when did it get dark?
Yeh When did it get Dark?
Oh When did it get?
(dark)
Yeh When did it get dark?
(Got to be undone to follow)
Oh When did it get..
Yeh When did it get dark?
(Got to be undone to follow)

Cuckoo

Say it with the right words
Say it at the right time
But ain’t they fucking tall those tree’s
When free ain’t free
Alright…
I know its not the river
That stops us getting bigger
Simple is a waste of fear
Oh beauty of the night
To fall in all the right ways
Until all the solitary silence
Says cuckoo to you
Cuckoo to you
So hang it on the right days
Hang it on the right times
Hang it on the tallest dreams
So free so free in the light
I know it’s not the river
That stops us getting bigger
Maybe it’s the smallest things
That makes us feel alive
To fall in all the right ways
Until all the solitary silence
Says cuckoo to you
As time ticks through
Cuckoo to you
As time ticks through
Cuckoo to you
cuckoo to you.
(ever nearer)
As time ticks through
(ever Nearer)
cuckoo hello
(ever nearer)
(to fall in all the right ways)
As time ticks through
(ever nearer)
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo

Keep Hydrated

Silly silly-little fighter
Tell me who are you gonna fight now?
At the bottom of the rainbow
At the bend in the elbow
There’s a blue finger-picking man
And you have to be kind
Have to share what we have
You’d have to be blind not to see that
Right now we’re colder than we’ve ever been
So stay safe when you’re in the dark and you’re walking home
And Don’t turn stress into chemicals
Stay safe when you’re in the dark and you’re walking home.
I’ve read both the bible and the readers digest
My overwhelming feeling
And you have to hear this
Is I think were off our heads
And you have to be kind
Have to share what we have
You’d have to be blind not to see that
Right now we’re colder than we’ve ever been
So stay safe when your in the dark and your walking home
(stay safe when your in the dark and your walking home)
And Don't turn stress into chemicals
(Don’t turn stress into chemicals)
And Keep hydrated
Don’t be lazy
And you have to be kind
Have to share what we have
You’d have to be blind not to see that
We should be warmer than we’ve ever been
So stay safe when your in the dark and your walking home
(stay safe when your in the dark and your walking home)
Don't turn stress into chemicals
So stay safe when your in the dark and your walking home
(stay safe when your in the dark and your walking home)
Stay safe when your in the dark and your walking home

In The Light

All these many years
And I’m already here
And I’m stoned drunk and in love
With dreams as white as snow
Feelings come and go
You hold on and then you let go
So hide me in the light and i’ll grow
The more you live the less you know
(whistle)
I felt the winters air
I’ve laughed me until i’m sore
I’m ready to the bone
I don’t know and that i’m sure
I think my candle’s lit
It’s light a gentle kiss
The dark is just a gift
But what’s whole without the abyss
So hide me in the light and i’ll grow
The more you live the less you know
(solo)
So hide me in the light and i’ll grow
The more you live, yes, the less you know
So hide me in the light and i’ll grow
(The more you live the less you know)
The more you live the less you know
(whistle)
(The more you live the less you know)
The more you live the less you know

Look up at that Sky
02:57

Will you look up at that sky in a town that I
Am thinking I might call my home
Though I put up my defences you talk me down
Tell me that I am not alone
Baby you can call me when your drunk and your feeling low
And There are things I know we will never know
Baby when you know you’ll know
Its time to look into that light little shining one
And stare straight to that sun
Though I put up my defences you talk me down
Tell me that I am not alone
Maybe I will call you when i’m drunk and i’m feeling low
And there are things I know we will never know
Baby when you know you’ll know
Baby you can call me when your drunk and your feeling low
And There are things I know we will never know
Baby when you know you’ll know
Baby when you know you’ll know
Baby when you know you’ll know

Lonely river’s gonna wash me away
So I’m gonna give up my Saturdays
I know your noughts and your crosses
like the back of my hand
So long to my failings
Hello to my friends
Get that sun on our faces
Until the end
Yeah until the end
A lonely giver's gonna give us away
So I'm gonna give him my my time of day
I’ll tick the noughts and the crosses
and send him on his way
So long to my failings
Hello to my friends
Get that sun on our faces
Until the end
Yeah until the end
So here is some space
For nobody’s gain
We all are the same aren't we now?
And here is the day
Till we all blow away
For we all are the same aren't we now
So, so long to my failings
Hello to my friends
Get that sun on our faces
Until the end

To Bring You Something

In all the places you go running to
My love’s gonna wake you up
And if you’re gonna crash instead of land
My loves gonna wake you up
I always wanna bring you something
I always want to give you something
That you’ll never find
In this heart of mine
Is your head and your heart the same?
Or fuck it are we better off dead
Honey you’re the apple of my eye
Your bigger than a building
Is your head and your heart the same?
(The Same)
Or fuck it are we better off dead
Honey you’re the apple of my eye
(Of My Eye)
Your bigger than a building
In all the spaces you go running through
My loves gonna wake you up
Best to land and not to crash
My loves gonna break you
I always wanna bring you something
I always want to give you something
That you’ll never find
In this heart of mine
Is your head and your heart the same?
Or fuck it are we better off dead
Honey you’re the apple of my eye
Your bigger than a building
Is your head and your heart the same?
(The Same)
Or fuck it are we better off dead
Honey you’re the apple of my eye
(Of My Eye)
Your bigger than a building
Is your head and your heart the same?
(The Same)
Or fuck it are we better off dead
Honey you’re the apple of my eye
(Of My Eye)
Your bigger than a building

Picture Copy

Ain’t it a long way to come round
Soap box cars and video towers
Lost my heart again
Mmmmm
Oh that light in the morning
It fills me to the top
Now I’m collecting joy
Just to fill my cup
But it’s just an ordinary,
picture copy,
proof of age
Intimate space
How are you getting on?
You can lose a minute
Gain an hour
What you say ain’t what you are
How long have I been gone?
And it’s a long way to come round
Low voices in an empty town
Lost my heart to my head
You lose everything…
But its just an ordinary
picture copy
proof of age
Intimate space
How are you getting on?
You can lose a minute
Gain an hour
What you say ain’t what you are
How long have I been gone?

You Know When You Know
04:42
|

|
Sail out and wear it with your eyes
With a broad back and one step at a time
Cause you know when you know
that you’ll know when you give it some time
Do faces get painted in the brain?
And are they there to take the blame?
Cause They’ll go when you know
That you’ll know when you give it some time
Later when the sun sets down
Will it elevate our expectations?
Cause everybody’s coming around
Well what’s wrong with that? I’d like to know
So tell me why we wine and dine
Tell me why we talk at night
Selling secrets till were senseless
I’ll give you all my honest
til baby we’re magnificent
Sometimes baby it’s the smaller things
That keep weighing down the paper
Sometimes maybe i’m imagining
All of the fools fooling around
Later when the sun sets down
Can I elevate your expectations?
Cause everybody’s coming around
Well what’s wrong with that? I’d like to know
Later when the sun sets down
Can I elevate your expectations?
Cause everybody’s coming around
Well what’s wrong with that I’d like to know
