"Blind Love"

"Blind Love"


Trying to hold a love that wants to go
Is like trying to catch a falling flake of snow
It glimmers while it can but it will melt between your hands, you know
To keep alive a love that wants to die
You teach the birds to swim, implore the fish to fly
But gills are made for water, and feathers for the sky, y’know
OH OH OH OH OH OH [x2]

To find a love that’s new where do you start?
It’s like trying to find the light switch in the dark
But falling over mess you left unaddressed inside your heart
OH OH OH OH OH OH [x2]

But I will find love, that’s a blind love
It’s the kind of love I need
Oh well I’ll find love, that’s a blind love
It’s the kind of love I need
OH OH OH OH OH OH [x4]

"Snowflakes"

"Snowflakes"

Every light will fade into the dark,
But every night will die just like the last,
Snowflakes on the water,
Snowflakes on the frozen sea,
Snowflakes in the playground,
Snowflakes clothing naked trees

No stars in sight lying on the lawn,
But every night is darkest before dawn
Snowflakes on the water,
Snowflakes on the frozen sea,
Snowflakes in the playground,
Snowflakes clothing naked trees

"Community Centre"

"Community Centre"

Well the sky’s turning purple
Above the community centre
And I’m sitting in a circle,
Telling my secrets to strangers
And they say I’ve got a problem
But I don’t know that I’ve got one
‘Cause you never know that you’ve got one
‘Til someone comes along and spots one

They say it’s the hardest step
But it’s the first one of many
And my feet are stuck to the ground
And I can’t seem to take any
I could tell them I just came
For the free cup of tea and the biscuit
And make my way towards the door
But I don’t think I can risk it

‘Cause I never wanted to stay,
But the morning came so soon
And we all know the words,
But we just sing them out of tune

‘Cause I had my first drink when I was fourteen,
And I knew that I was in trouble
‘Cause I woke up the next morning
With my face down in the rubble
And everyone was drinking singles
I pour myself a double,
I just needed a little bit more

And now I’m sitting here with my name badge
And I’m listening to the same sad stories
About their old dads,
Who’re making all the same
Bad turning’s at their crossroads
And drowning all their sorrows,
Without any lifeguard around

Oh no, I never wanted to stay
But the morning came so soon
And oh, we all know the words
But we just sing them out of tune
And oh, oh no

And the sky’s turning dark
So we step out into the car-park
And I see you all same place, same time next week
But before we go our separate ways
Theres just one thing I’d like to say is,
Anybody up for a drink

"Fairytales & Firesides"

"Fairytales & Firesides"

We are bitter losers, snarling through our smiles
We’re the lost boys, in the supermarket isles
We’re Christmas dogs, dumped by the side of the road
Confused, we will run for miles
We are road rage
We are stone age
We are wild

We are busted light bulbs, in a backstreet neon sign
We’re the shaking gun, in a service station line
We’ll drink though we’re drunk,
We’ll sink though we’ve sunk
We’re fucked but we say that we’re fine
We are rampage,
Missing back page’s in our spine

We long, for journeys and the roadside
We long, for starlight and the low tide
Yeah, we long, for fairy tales and firesides
And oh,

We are coffeehouse cynics,
Too righteous, too rigid to believe
Disappointed romantics,
Scraping the heart’s from our sleeves
We’re the toothless drunk,
We’re the ageing punk
Yeah, we are Adam,
We’re the apple and we’re Eve
We are beggars with shiny pennies, on our knees

We long, for sunlight on the hillsides
Yeah, we long, for yesterdays and hindsight
Oh, we long, for fairy tales and firesides
And oh,

Yeah we long for carnivals and fairground rides
Oh, we long for journeys and the roadsides
Oh, we long for fairy tales and firesides

"Divers & Submarines"

"Divers & Submarines"

Well I clung to you,
Like cat hair clings to a woollen shirt
You needed me, like a wedding dress needs dirt
The more that I wanted, the harder I squeezed
The harder I squeezed, the less you could breathe
And we sunk down to the bottom
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea

And I cried for you,
Like a widow cries at her lover’s grave
You haunted me through my stinging nights,
And aching days
The more that you struggled, the tighter the knots,
The tighter the knots, the lower we got

And we sunk down to the bottom
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Yeah, we sunk down to the bottom of the sea
Oh no,
‘Cause I saw divers and submarines
And I saw divers and submarines
Oh, I saw divers and submarines

"Facebook"

"Facebook"

Looking at pictures on Facebook,
Of your ex-girlfriend
At three in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Never helped

Getting so drunk you fall over
Singing up at lamp-posts
At two in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Never helped

‘Cause it’s so pure you can hardly taste it
Oh, it’s so pure you can hardly taste it

Going to parties with friends,
Who are friends of friends
At one in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Never helped

Eleven o’clock in the pub
Drinking everything in sight,
But still not getting drunk
No, never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone
Never helped

Oh, it’s so pure you can hardly taste it
Oh, it’s so pure you can hardly taste it

So just hold on
When the party’s over,
And all your friends are going home
With their girlfriends to their dog or beds

Yeah, just hold on
When the party’s over
And you can’t help the world’s spinning
‘Cause heartbreak goes straight to your head

Looking at pictures on Facebook
Of your ex-girlfriend
At three in the morning
Never helped anyone,
Never helped anyone,
Never helped me

"House On A Hill"

"House On A Hill"

In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
Far from the madness, that folds around me
Peaceful and gentle, like sails on the breeze

In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
There’s a warm light on a cold night
And clean cotton sheets
Soap smelling skin and tingling feet
With stars lining the skyline
And shine through the trees

In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
And when the autumn comes down
We’ll get what we need from the town
And all of our friends will be round

In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
Moon white as paper and night like asleep
With old things behind us and new things to be

In an old house on a hillside
Next to the sea
And when the sunshine comes down,
My hair will turn golden
And my skin will turn brown
And all of our friends will be round

"Two Tales"

"Two Tales"

Light up my lantern, I’ll cut you a path,
We’ve walked for hours and it’s getting dark
We left the roadside in search of aid,
Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made
I’ve never seen someone bleeding like this,
Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist

I’ll light the stove and sit by the hearth,
Orangey glow light the wintry dark
We kept her bedroom exactly the same,
Winters they followed and Summers they came
He’d bash around, banging down on the floor
I sit alone with an eye on the door

Stop in this clearing, we’ll stay here tonight
Press up against me, I’ll hold you so tight
I got these matches, we’ll let off some smoke
And maybe they’ll see up and maybe they won’t
Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars,
I’ll lie awake listening out for cars

He stares through curtains when he talks to the night,
I sit and listen for tires on the drive
I keep on waiting and he keep on talking
Just stop him talking, please stop him talking

No, give me silence
Give me silence,
Give me silence
Oh, no…

"Intacto"

"Intacto"

Well if love is blind,
Then home’s where the heart is
How we ever gonna get back where we started
From now on, run with blindfolds
Into the woods till the trees knock us out cold
Winds shriek like drunken females
On a hen night, last bit of fun,
Till he breaks her heart in a text or an email
She can deal with the bastard son

We’ve got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road
We see a light in the dark but it’s fading like hope
I’ll make a promise just to break it for the sake of it
We think that we’re honest but truth is what we make it to be

Well a stitch in time saves nine, that’s fine
But we’ve all been proper stitched up this time
It’s a right old mess at a grand old time
Right and left, in front and behind
It’s Sunday, Sunday, another bloody Sunday
Just a day till another bloody Monday
Morning, yawning, boring, snoring
In front of the boss when you just got a warning

We’ve got a knife in our hearts and a fork in the road
We see a light in the dark but it’s fading like hope
I’ll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me
Just so there’s someone else to blame when it all falls down
When it all falls down, down, down
When it all falls down, down

So let’s get some fire in our hearts,
And a yellow brick road
I’m getting bored of the dark,
We could turn the lights on, you know
I’ll make a promise and I’ll keep it for the sake of it
We could tell the truth for once, see just how we take to it
We could walk in forests and climb up every tree
We’ll build our house upon the sand, every day in the sea
I’ll fall in love with you and love, you can fall in love with me

Just so there’s somebody else
Just so there’s somebody else
Just so there’s somebody else

"Brick Walls"

"Brick Walls"


Well we dance without our shoes,
But there’s glass around our feet
And we’d walk around the town,
But we’re allergic to concrete
We’d be stuffed to the gills
But there’s nothing here to eat
No, there’s nothing here to eat
No, there’s nothing here to eat

Oh, well we’d love to rest our eyes
But we hear the floor boards creek
So, we lie with one eye open and
Clutch knives between the sheets
If there’s no rest for the wicked
Well, then we’ll never get no sleep
We’ll never get no sleep
No, we’ll never get no sleep
Oh, no…

‘Cause we’re banging our head’s against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head’s are soft
It’s a painful way to get attention
It’s a painful way to get attention

We’re banging our head’s against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head’s are soft
It’s a painful way to get attention
It’s a painful way to get attention

We’re banging our head’s against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head’s are soft
It’s a painful way to get attention
It’s a painful way to get attention

We’re banging our head’s against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head’s are soft
It’s a painful way to get attention
It’s a painful way to get attention

We’re banging our head’s against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head’s are soft
It’s a painful way to get attention
It’s a painful way to get attention

We’re banging our head’s against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head’s are soft
It’s a painful way to get attention
It’s a painful way to get attention, no
