Lamb Chops 01:49
Sea shells Crystal balls glitter in every window Hands in hands and your paws in your paws In your paws In your paws In your paws Some of the things that you've said some of the times drops me dead And some of the looks from you that he would catch Some other man met his match Elegant arms and elegant legs Leaves a kiss on the nape

All for the entertainment So long, I've got to go Everyone is coming with us Climb in, we're not waiting for long Let's not move slowly If we're to do this then let's do it now Turn off at sockets and get going Here we go On the road Here we go On the road All for the entertainment So long, I've got to go Everyone is coming with us Climb in, we're not waiting for long And when we sleep we sweat We dream of hordes upon the beach How their bodies, they glow in, in blue, in blue, an awful blue Rise up and inhale deep Everyone must kneel in turn Pie eyed, with fire in their lungs Drawn out upon the table Rise up and inhale deep Everyone must kneel in turn Pie eyed and with fire in their lungs Here we go On the road Here we go On the road Drawn out upon the table Rise up and inhale deep Everyone must kneel in turn Pie eyed and with fire in their lungs And when we wake we see them standing there upon the shore Their ranks are thousands deep They glow in, in blue, in blue, an awful blue Rise up and inhale deep Everyone must kneel in turn Pie eyed, with fire in their lungs And how this new wave of love took you so much by surprise Everybody's painting their faces up And now it's your turn They're breaking bodies by the shoreline All for the entertainment So long, I've got to go Everyone is coming with us Climb in, we're not waiting for long Drawn out upon the table Rise up and inhale deep Everyone must kneel in turn Pie eyed and with fire in their lungs

Pick a button with a dirty little finger and a black hand Wish away, wish away Reaching shadows herald her arrival from the place where he fell off the edge and down where there be dragons Everything was amber coloured yeah Cream pale body in my sky First glimpse, last chance And then you duck her below the skyline How his heart strings tangle and dress their webs across the early evening Everybody turns themselves to face towards her glimmer across the water's surface Monday, still not there Tuesday, still not there Wednesday, still not there From the place where twilight's stillness grows and drapes it's vines on star crossed lovers choke back sighs and gnash their teeth and wail on in the evening Star crossed lovers choke Black Hand Everything was amber coloured yeah Cream pale body in my sky First glimpse, last chance And then you duck her below the skyline How his heart strings tangle and dress their webs across the early evening Everybody turns themselves to face towards her glimmer across the water's surface Everything was amber coloured yeah Cream pale body in my sky Dawn drips down Down, down Rise Rise Rise and shine my love

Saplings 01:32
Teeth hold guard and all moved away Pulled from stations and sent by rail lines All they find are fresh fruits and new season's saplings, budding with a vigour so distant to them, it pains them to see it

Beddom 03:25
7.
Coats on the wardrobe tops and spirits underneath the sheets Song after song after song A howl and the arms left to bleed Crawling the walls Pick a path through shards there all over the floor Screams after wails after screams Hand prints are left on the sheets How you baptised me one morning, so early in the morning And how we captured you on film Raise the alarm Holy bowlfuls smashed on walls Bind tight their arms Looks like you've got some tidying up to do
8.
Build the Legos Make them pile high around us Throw off all the sheets and bedclothes Leap forth from the cliff's edge And shouting, screaming how we, we curse this weather It feels like droplets in the ocean Or waking up before the dawn Grind the gears Grease and drag the chains behind us Legion clocking out They ride home, ride home nodding off After supper, wash and balm the limbs We curse this weather It feels like droplets in the ocean Or waking up before the dawn

40/40 01:51
Ninety nine, one hundred Following his nosey One behind the wardrobe Sit quite still and breath slowly So one by one calls '40/40 seen' This was a masterstroke, let's just see if they can find me here Following his nosey One behind the wardrobe One hid in the pantry Three and four and five now found Oh, but we've been at it for days! Everyone now found must come with me and search for him Ninety nine, one hundred It came to pass Now we receive him Raises his arms and blesses them Splitting his way through the stratosphere Up above the dawn Sober light will reveal his arms 40/40 SEE LIGHTS!
10.
I'll share today like I shared yesterday And I swear that I don't mind that at all The birds here will listen to my song Shadows on the lawn drawn out long Moths, bugs and bees share my wine Please don't leave me gruesome spectre This torment Rubs my eyes until they bleed Floats about my windowsill Haunts my slumber Hear, the evenings breath it calls 'How you miss me' A bed of roses A swing hung by the river As she hung, swaying there from the branch Like yesterday, today's end is near

Wraiths 04:13
These pieces in puddles Crawls back home The mess in the bathroom Claws off his clothes And cleans up And floats off down rivers and streams
