I got my morning coffee I got my pale blue flag I got my summer locket packed in my bag I see a shining morning starting on the lawn bringing up the insects for one last yawn So when the scar is new and the skin is pink and sore You’re like an ancient ruin with limestone pores I’ll never know what’s coming or what it’s all about But when my lungs get empty there’s air about So when I finally state it I’ll finally know I’ll know whatever comes will hide beneath the ground I’ll finally know it I’ll finally say I’ll know whatever comes will finally have it’s day I’ll finally know what else to say So when the crowds appear They won’t cause a fright I’ll fly my yellow rocket into the night But there’s pieces and pieces and pieces of mind buried around outside and there’s pieces and pieces and pieces of mind buried around outside and there’s pieces and pieces and pieces of mind buried around outside

(Take what you want) (Break what you can) (Take what you want) (Break what you can) (Take what you want) I just can’t see it (Break what you can) It’s all I’ve ever known (Take what you want) I’ve lost all feeling (Break what you can) (Wake up) It’s much too early (Wake up) It’s much too early (Wake up) I’ve lost all feeling (Wake up) It’s all I’ve ever known (Wake up) It’s half past seven (Wake up) It’s half past seven (Wake up) I’ve lost all feeling (Wake up Wake up)

Bad Dreams 03:37
I can see those old bad dreams Those old bad dreams go tumbling by Honesty the more i see Those old bad dreams go tumbling by and by and by into the night While I sleep those old bad dreams those old bad dreams go grey in the light consciously I learn to leave those old bad dreams alone where they lie and lie and lie and lie

Chorus Trees 04:04
the chorus trees gave everyone a sunset to breathe I’m waiting for a little while I’m waiting for the ripples to shine the chorus trees made us all run wild and oh the leaves they made us lose our minds we’re crawling up the chorus branch we’re getting bitten by lots of ants we’re waiting till the evening time we’re gonna make a promise tonight chorus trees made of lemon lime the energy of orange yellow stripes quiet please give everyone a moment to breathe I’m waiting for a little while I’m waiting for this moment to die silence please let it all calm down patience please let’s not lose our minds

A slightly dry meaty smell Now that’s a smell that’s come from the 1960s A dramatisation of the young Chris smelling the same fox skull A slightly dry dry meaty smell meaty smell A slightly dry meaty smell meaty smell meaty smell A sightly meaty smell meaty smell from the 1960s

Brine 02:11
Always the show is in my hand The cloud is on my arm and we rhyme And no way the blood is in the street The mud is on my feet and we drown The star is still my own Waiting all alone Waiting to be the colour of my dreams Their arms can still be seen waving back at me The brine is soft and sweet Waiting there for me The brine is soft and sweet Waiting there for me

I saw the horizon in muted colours As we circled outside the island I covered the paper in soothing colours Like a ‘50s bathroom designer And we went lonely lonely to the ground I think every forest has a lining Like a newborn graphic designer We covered the planets in soothing colours Like the morning after the thunder And we went lonely lonely to the ground All above us the sea will never know Around us churning inside the world will never know All of a sudden muted colours leaking out from inside the island And we went lonely lonely to the ground

Don’t let me drown you said I think I’m gonna drown Don’t let me down you said I think I’m going down Don’t break my fall you said I think I’m going down No-one can ever take your golden locket And I can barely wait we’re only talking And I talk to myself say nothing’s wrong I want the sunlight to bring bring back everyone And I talk to myself say nothing’s wrong I want the sunlight to bring bring back everyone And I talk to myself see nothing’s wrong I want the sunlight to sing sing back everyone And I talk to myself say nothing’s wrong I want the sunlight to bring sing back everyone from their sleep

Goodnight 04:32
Floating in the atmosphere looking for a home And sliding down a falling branch smoother than a stone Alright you win This is how the story ends Goodnight my friends I’m away from here Floating in the stillest pool reflecting all the sky And smiling at the new ripples deeper than a mine Alright you win This is how the story ends Goodnight my friend I’m away from here We gather up sticks that we find in the dark And burn them all up in a hole in the park We gather up things that we think we can mend And take them back home to the car where we live Never go out all alone cause we might get just lost in the storm Alright you win This is how the story ends Goodnight my friends I’m away from here
