- Track Name: Hello
-
I can see a year go by, it's getting even quicker
Now I just have favoured memories of people I once knew
Sometime I don't want to hold back, I'll say hello to people I might know
I'm a little weird but I don't know why
Conversations haven't changed, we're just a bit more cynical
A bit more realistic about what we may achieve
I don't want a soundbite, a solution, I don't need a quick fix
But I guess a great idea would have me on my knees
I, I want to be a winner, what's that all about?
But I fold under pressure, fall asleep on the couch
And I'm not yet an adult, but I will be soon
I should get my act together but what can you do?
Checking out an atmosphere or waiting for a scene
Holding out for something more or writing down a dream
Truthfully it interests me but I don't know what you should do, I don't want to rubbish you
I, I want to be a winner, what's that all about?
But I fold under pressure, fall asleep on the couch
And I'm not yet an adult, but I will be soon
I should get my act together but what can you do?
- Track Name: Socialite
-
David I have seen you try but the conversation slows
You’re so full of life, humour so dry, but you’re not so much anymore
You’re so full of holes just like your clothes
Living for today has caught up with your ways, but you live in the past
I’m not holding out now, I’m not holding out for anymore
Red cheeks and hazy eyed, she realised there’s more to life with subsequent malaise
And after her advice he picked his point because it never was her place
David might refuse to pry and the heartache holds his tongue
You’re a socialite, your humour – it’s so dry, but you’re not so much anymore
You’re so full of holes just like your clothes
Living for today has caught up with your ways, but you live in the past
I’m not holding out now, I’m not holding out for anymore
- Track Name: Parasite (a homage)
-
I don’t know if I should be too bothered
I live for one now, I don’t have children
I might go outside, hold on for dinner
Balancing books and wishing I’m thinner
Oh, it’s a delight, I’m made from the things that I like
Oh, I think I’ve found a way that you can steal and still be proud
Helps in the corner just like your father, he wasn’t bad and wasn’t older
I don’t know if I thought of my parents,
Were they this young? Were they this young?
Sometimes it’s a delight, I’m made from the things that I like
Oh, I think I’ve found a way that you can steal and still be proud
- Track Name: Moving Furniture
-
I can see our history in these cream walls
Make a change to clear my head and forget her
Changing the posters, bedshapes, anything else
Pull down the pictures, think about moving house
Then only time can change you enough not to worry
Oh small talk doesn’t mean much when you are thinking about what’s new
Like what you might have to do, like moving around
Cage the guy, the hardened type, not a baby
I’ll meet up with people I haven’t seen lately
Changing the posters, bedshapes, anything else
Pull down the pictures, think about moving house
Then only time can change you enough not to worry
Oh my God, I need to get out, not stop
He’s moving, it’s all I need
A little respect for me
I’m moving around
- Track Name: Tudela
-
Making a song for an audience of one isn't a great idea once the audience has gone
And back in my bedroom my mind ticks, there is a plan of action
Memory, my memory is fine to think
Tudela wasn't on my list, it was Autumn, it was colder
I wrote a song about my girlfriend, then she became my ex
It feels a little weird to sing about the connections
I've got a melody and I've got no words
But I've still got my suitcase Tudela
Sending a message would seem to me to mean so much more
45p would increase the meaning of your any words
And poor old Tudela, I'll never know you again
But it is not a nightmare
Memory, my memory is fine to think
Tudela wasn't on my list, it was Autumn, we were colder
I wrote a song about my girlfriend, then she became my ex
It feels a little weird to sing about the connections
I've got a melody and I've got no words
But I've still got my suitcase Tudela
I hate flying in planes
An Englishman in Spain
Europe is still pretty small
There's no hurry
- Track Name: Things I Thought But Did Not Say
-
Face to phase, my new days
I’m just drunk, I’m bones, I’m timber, let’s go home
In seven days, what a change. That’s the truth
Half a plate to use, this isn’t home
90 miles for friends, for smiles then home
Manchester was my escaping place, I had a break, I tried
I got relationship counselling from strippers
It wasn’t great advice, but I’ve since got here
Hold on, you’ve got a plan for me, I’m going to take it anyway
Sign up to Facebook, make a fake profile and start talking to myself
Well, that’s advice
Drive in the dark in the rain to a place I know
Drive in the dark in the rain to a song I know
These moments might seem the same, but they’re different though
Soundtracking places I’ve been. It’s these moments I love
I could say that I don’t need it, and that might be, but I’m stable to the core
Then I can’t rely on the cinema or a book for my escapism.
Feeling “If I know what I needed, didn’t know it until today”
Making lists for the future, there’s still a lot of things to do here, sure
Do you see past the summer? Getting closer to each other, forewarned
And a new day, to another day, another change to see a smile for you
In my little house, the duvet wrapped around
Listening to a playlist for this moment, the one I’d hoped I’d never needed
And if I could go the start I would and make myself a better world
But if I don’t then I’ll stick with it, because I’m a good guy and there’s no limit.
I hope we orchestrate this well
It seems to do it wrong, if you are opening your arms
I think you’re meant to this again if it goes wrong, you’ve got to just shrug your shoulders.
And if I don’t know then I’ll just break up, I’ll keep going one way then the other till I make it work
We’re all being that age, we growing up but there’s no stages
And it makes want to go and it turns them all around
If you could say it’s something right to do.

Ok, I’m not in vogue, but I’m happy stuck with this consideration
But what’s wrong? What’s wrong with you?
If I could trust it, then I’ll be happy
You are the one who made sure they had it, made sure they wanted everything that you need
But that’s nothing, you know
Take tips from history, just like Machiavelli, it’s like you settled into somebody else’s shade
And that’s nothing, you know
You can see how this is
I’ve got these walls and I should feel safe here and tidy
But if I could save them then I could walk round the corner
He said “what now babe?, what are you holding out for?”
“Soon I’ll be tripping on my self congratulations”
I know you need to take what you want to
Be the right side of arguments that you see
But that’s nothing you know
Settled in action, making a standing
It’s like your Jekyll gene has settled in for a second being
And that’s something I hate
You can see how this is
Outside your cause I’ve got no reason to stay awake tonight
Late nights and cards, friend-dogs and hearts but I’ll never make it right
I don’t know you but it’s enough to occasionally say Hi
That’s fair enough, to associate with the people that you like
I don’t know why I shouldn’t be where it all is crazy
I’ve got 17 dreams with no room for a view
I’ve got a spare bedroom but nothing to put in it
And after all of these I’m sure for some reason I’ll never be a 16 year old again.
- Track Name: In My Heart of Hearts I Know That's Not Me
-
They do that same dance as they see her, as they take their well planned questions onto the carpet
But she's not talking and then he doesn't see the point and we'll remind him of the consequences of yesterday's conquest
And there's so much sex now, so little order
As I looked I could see they've got to
Hiding from others or facing a lover, or some other term here that feels more familiar
It was nothing, I can see clear and I in my heart of hearts I know that's not me
You, you should see them smiling for her
I was outside when I kept asking "What the hell is going on?"
I felt some progress when I was younger, but it doesn't seem to stick now
I'm just watching and I am holding and my mind just keeps on wondering
I don't see answers, I see questions and my problem starts when walking in the door
Looking round here they're eyeing each other
I'm not judgmental, they're really good people
And quietly they'll start leaving and in my heart of hearts I know I should be
Hiding from others or facing past lovers, or some other term here that feels more familiar
It was nothing, I can see clearly and I in my heart of hearts I know that's not me
- Track Name: Kirsty
-
I’m running for changes, but I’m scared, I’m scared of the faults
She’s a mess, thinking about violence, she’s obsessed and full of remorse
I don’t need this anymore, I don’t need this anymore
The battle is lost in her head until filled with something else instead
Now I see Kirsty on her own
She’s got memories of when we lived back home
Sometimes I think it’s alright to say I understand, I’m a different man
Something I think it’s alright to be your own
Taste, taste for life, so wrongfounded it’s hard to despise you
But I, I could be truthful, there are times I see there is more
Because I can save, oh I can savour many things
In my future I’ll be so good
I may be upset sometimes, I may say a number of lines
I may want to be so good, but I couldn’t be that guy
I don’t need this anymore, I don’t need this anymore
From the battles to the falls, the fruition of it all
I don’t need this anymore, I don’t need this anymore
The battle is lost in her head until filled with something else instead
I see Kirsty on her own, she’s got memories of when we lived back home
Sometimes I think it’s alright to say I understand, I’m a different man now
Something I think it’s alright to be alone
- Track Name: Annie
-
I see the lady, she walks in a different way, hard to see
Annie, the baby, she’s little miss sunshine but she goes away
That’s what seems right
When I was younger I didn’t know much at all
I guess that things could be different, so different
Different.
I can’t picture her post-95 or in this modern world
We’ll go to a concert, just sit around some, acting like furniture – always been there
When I was younger I didn’t know much at all
I’ll be your brother, dependent with an open door
And with these people around you, life is beautiful too
I guess that things could be different, so different
Different.
- Track Name: To Sleep
-
These tiny problems, I’ll just move my head, It’ll be forgotten,
I’m moving my head, It’ll be forgotten
Black gets brighter, orange lights me up
Lying down, forcing an ending
A moment to myself and I need an epiphany
A dream that might count, or just some friendly faces
Black gets brighter, orange lights me up
And now, these decisions I’m making
And so I digress into these fairy tales, and these long tales I’m making
Excuses for faking, just lighten up
I am the Bourgeoisie and I’m typically in debt
With the long way out and I will lie to myself
And I just keep freaking out
I’m going to sleep
To sleep, to dream,
And I’ll be the queen
And another day will begin
I’m going to sleep, to dream
