Premeditations

you can talk it out
you can write it down
but you’re never going to learn it that way
pros and cons
rights and wrongs
but you’re never going to learn it that way
premeditations, like a love that doesn’t fall
premeditations, like a phone that doesn’t call
looking at family pictures
of someone’s family
it looks so familiar
but you don’t know this family
you sing along to the voice on the radio
you know the words like the ghost of the stereo
premeditations, like a love that doesn’t fall
premeditations, like a phone that doesn’t call
premeditations, like a sound without a song
premeditations, like a beat without a drum
premeditations

Stray Dog
03:47

i heard a voice it sounded like warning bells
look for an exit, don’t go in circles
eating the heads off flowers in garden beds
cages are strangers that you’ve already met
stray dog, stray dog run home
love won’t get lost on your lazy bones
run home stray dog run home
love won’t get lost on your lazy bones
silver wear witches conspiring kitchens
walking so gentle, my apparition
is it a good day? crooked chameleon
should i just leave here in mint condition
stray dog, stray dog run home
love won’t get lost on your lazy bones
run home stray dog run home
love won’t get lost on your lazy bones
run home
run home
run home
run home
run home
run home
run home
run home

every thought in my head
every thought in my head
every thought in my head is overrated
say hello to the first world brothers
looking for a pill to swallow
found the fear from a fortune teller
now they haven't got a god to follow
ego on overnight delivery
ego on overnight delivery
ego on overnight delivery yeah yeah
say hello to the first world brothers
looking for a pill to swallow
found the fear from a fortune teller
now they haven't got a god to follow
give your money to an online preacher
going to help you live for ever
get you to another level
then he’s going to charge you extra
say hello to the first world brothers
looking for a pill to swallow
found the fear from a fortune teller
now they haven't got a god to follow

Body n Soul

i went down with the rhythm
and stood there in the fog
i went down with the rhythm
and dropped dead in the fog
i was trying to find myself
but i wasn’t myself at all
my neighbours digging
graves out in the rain
well my neighbours digging
graves out in the rain
well I'm feeling born again
like a man on a mission
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
i went down with the rhythm
and laid down in the fog
well i went down swinging
and dropped dead in the fog
i was trying to find myself
but i wasn’t there at all
well i found a meaning
hidden in the song
well i found a meaning
hidden in the song
i heard the devils words
rolling backwards from his tongue
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
i’m going to roll my skull like a bowling ball
back down memory lane
all the sunflowers, gods children
going to hang their heads in shame
you can draw the shades on paritioner’s hill
or tell them what you will
but this hotel chandelier is going foot my funeral bill
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need
body and soul
body and soul
body and soul is all i need

Turpentine
04:11
|

|
You’re always staring at the sun
Total eclipse on everyone
Bleeding on the shelf,
Pass it round like wine,
Drink to your good health,
Dreams of turpentine
Real romance paranoia sinking in,
You fell in love again with algorithms
Artificial intelligence
Listening in on conversations
Bleeding on the shelf,
Pass it round like wine,
Drink to your good health,
Dreams of turpentine
Bleeding on the shelf,
Pass it round like wine,
Drink to your good health,
Dreams of turpentine

Bloodhounds
04:00
|

|
i feel your chemicals there burning my heart strings
and all the particles that flow through my bloodstream
i know your alibi you’re talking in your sleep
if i seem occupied then hang me from my dreams
bloodhounds talking through the hole in my head
and the voices get caught in the back somewhere
and i feel the separation come much too close
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
jump in the ocean just to get a reaction
washed the paw prints from your favourite jeans
won’t let you breathe for me we’re already even
i’ll swim through all of this to see what it means
bloodhounds talking through the hole in my head
and the voices get caught in the back somewhere
and i feel the separation come much too close
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say
so they rattle their cage cause they’ve got nothing else to say

Hands In Your Pockets
04:07

summer rain is coming back again
i hear it whispering
on corrugated iron
hangman falls
from further than before
than he thought was possible
do you ever answer a question?
and then lose it when you get to the moment?
your eyes close when you start to focus
walk away with your hands in your pockets
hands in your pockets
mood ring stays
tight on your finger
changing colour
sun burnt worms
fry out on the drive
keep me fossilised
do you ever answer a question?
and then lose it when you get to the moment?
your eyes close when you start to focus
walk away with your hands in your pockets
hands in your pockets
hands in your pockets

Turnstile
02:54
|

how do you recognise yourself
when you look in the mirror?
banging your head against the wall
to make the picture clearer
when the stars align
it makes it feel like you’re on a turnstile
everyone goes in single file
they cut you from your own accord
and choose you for their saviour
still as the morning horse returns
you use him for his labour
then all you hear his noise
filling up the void
then the stars align
it makes it feel like you're on a turnstile
everyone goes in single file
and you can’t react
when no ones sees the money on your back
going round for a victory lap

can you hear the radio get slower?
spitting electricity next door
can you see the satellites come down?
cybernetic butler mops the floor
televisions sinking underwater
broadcast are drifting in the tides
canopies are softly creeping over
the ending is so quiet without wires
lights off
