And when the light breaks
And when the morning comes
And when the darkness
Falls down on everyone
And when the sun sets
And when the evening comes
And when my heart breaks
Come on and give me some
This town means more than forever, the songs we sing mean more than forever, the dark they bring will bind us together.
And when the rain falls
On the mountain top
Because the clouds rise
When the pressure drops
Another down pour
Into your coffee cup
And did the levy break
When you'd had enough
This town ...

Sing Loud
04:44
|
|||
|
Sing loud but not today, brighten your eyes when the colours fade.
When truth is cut in two, thrown to the lions like they always do,
You'll know.
You're not part of this, hold your tongue.
You're not part of this, hold your tongue.
The wind is gone, the leaves are gone, the trees are gone and so's the sun. I will wake when you are gone.
Stay close but not to me, I saw the eye and the eye saw me.
When scars get torn apart, stitching back together is the easy part,
and you'll know.
You're not part of this, hold your tongue.
You're not part of this, hold your tongue.
The wind is gone, the leaves are gone, the trees are gone and so's the sun. I will wake when you are gone.

Rise
03:42
|
|||
|
I hope you will rise, higher than this house, far above this hole.
And when you look down, frighten us with light, deafen us with sound.
And I hope that you do, yeah I do. And I hope that you do, yeah I do.
Please connect these sounds, they're keeping me awake, with the cats and owls.
We sing to the moon, but it's a sorry state, got walked upon to soon.
And I hope that you do, yeah I do. And I hope that you do, yeah I do.

One Enormous Thread
03:35
|
|||
|
I'll unstitch your heart
One enormous thread
Don't know where to start
I'll sit down instead
An unlikely start
Unambitious end
In between is gone
Something's there instead

No it's Not
02:39
|
|||
|
I loved you in the morning when it all went up in flames
And later on that evening as I sat down to complain
I suppose the next line really should be you were playing games
But it's not
No it's not
And when I saw the funny side I ran away to sea
And hoped on hope for all the world you would not follow me
I suppose the next line really should be ending happily
But it's not
No it's not

Folly On The Mountain
02:50
|
|||
|
There was folly on the mountain and I thought I'd call you up to let you know.
There was rumbling on the hillsides and the rocks came tumbling down on those below, on those below.
There was danger in the cities and the buildings all got covered up in snow.
There were warnings when I went walking that I'd never make it down to let you know.
That in spite all the fire and the dark, I know you're beautiful.
And in spite all the fire and the dark, I know you're beautiful.
There was evil in the lobby and the concierge was out of things to say.
I was calling for the morning in the hope that things looked better in the day.
And in spite all the fire and the dark, I know you're beautiful.
And in spite all the fire and the dark, I know you're beautiful.

Whale Song
03:24
|
|||
|
My mother rang the other day
To say that I should write a song
About the whales and how they swim
Down the coast from Canada
And when she sees them on TV
She cries because they're beautiful
Their songs always seem sad to me
But perhaps they're not
And all the colours underwater are dull
Because the frequencies get scattered where we've gone
I met a man the other day
Who said that I should write a song
About the way and how it's gone
But I'm not sure
And when he sees it on TV
He cries because it's terrible
These things always seems sad to me
Because they are
And all the colours under water are dull
Because the frequencies get scattered where we've gone

Mr Fox
03:07
|
|||
|
Heard a noise outside my house
It was getting late it freaked me out
I locked the door and climbed the stairs
Pulled the covers over my head
In the morning you'll be gone
Cos in the daylight you'd be overrun
Don't give up or worse
Don't be sad
When the hounds are on your trail
Don't forget to hide your tail
Build a fortress in the woods
Like a ginger Robin Hood
In the morning you'll be gone
Cos in the daylight you'd be overrun
Don't give up or worse
Don't be sad

The Wanderer
01:57
|
|||
|
I was on a Trans-Siberian sled
I was in the desert left for dead
I've been over stormy seas
Places you would not believe
I was there when Jesus got the call
I was there when Rome began to fall
I've been over stormy seas
Places you would not believe
I went walking, scuffed my feet along the ground and the dust said give in while you can.
I went walking, scuffed my feet along the ground and the dust said give in while you can.
I turned evolution on it's head
And turned into an octopus instead
I've been under stormy seas
Places where you could not breathe

A Hurricane
03:08
|
|||
|
I rode in to town on a pony
My noble steed was dead
A whispering wind followed slowly
A hurricane long dead, or so they said
(Go away) If everybody you loved (Go away) Loved you back half as much
(Away) Well I'd hope that's enough (Anyway)
Hello my dear are you lonely
You're not the things they said
And goodbye is too good a word dear
To hide behind instead, or so they said
(Go away) If everybody you loved (Go away) Loved you back half as much
(Away) Well I'd hope that's enough (Anyway)

Breathe
02:44
|
|||
|
Breathe you win
Breathe you in
This is a call to arms
Arms that are locked in love
Not for the weak of heart
Not for the weak of heart
Breathe you win
Breathe you in
Battles we lost from the start
All victories cost in the end
Not worth the price that you ask
Not worth the price that you ask
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms, this is a call to arms, this is a call to arms
Lions and tigers and bears, lions and tigers and bears, lions and tigers and bears

Out With The Ice & Snow
02:14
|
|||
|
Out with the ice and snow
Down with the dusty roads
Stick to the paths you know
Shortcuts never are
Leave your pride at home and come back to the start
Leave your pride at home and come back to the start
If I had an open soul
Fire might burn my heart
The basement overflowed
And left the fireplace cold
Leave your pride at home and come back to the start
Leave your pride at home and come back to the start
Out with the ice and snow
Down with the dusty roads
Stick to the paths you know
Shortcuts never are

Liar
02:55
|
|||
|
When I saw you leave by the fire escape
I wasn't quite sure it was you
You stared straight ahead like the secret undead
But then sleeping was never for you
You're a liar, you're a liar and your engines on fire
You're spiralling deep down below
You're a liar, you're a liar and your engines on fire
You shouldn't take off in the snow oh oh
Are you dreaming of leaving alone
Are you dreaming
When I caught you up at the end of the road
The end of the road caught us too
With stars in your eyes you looked barely alive
And barely alive that's the truth
You're a liar, you're a liar and your engines on fire
You're spiralling deep down below
You're a liar, you're a liar and your engines on fire
You shouldn't take off in the snow oh oh
Are you dreaming of leaving alone
Are you dreaming
