Steady On
04:50
|

|
Oh the home we knew where in beds we lay
Is stretching out behind in the inky wake
Oh heaven knows what it is we've done
But the distant bells mean it's time to run
And the hardhearted forest
With the hardhearted trees
Make a halfhearted promise
That I don't believe
Steady on we'll seek out a new road
Steady on we'll find a way and go but we can't look back
Steady on we'll not reap what we've sown
Steady on we'll steal away from all the friends we thought we had
Going up those hills will be hard I say
It'll be a lot more work for a lot less pay
those wolves you hear, they're not the dog-like type
They've got a lot less bark and a lot more bite
And the hardhearted forest
With the hardhearted trees
Make a halfhearted promise
That I don't believe
Steady on we'll seek out a new road
Steady on we'll find a way and go but we can't look back
Steady on we'll not reap what we've sown
Steady on we'll steal away from all the friends we thought we had
Fighting forward facing the failing night
crawling up and through to the distant light
I don't know if we'll get there at all
'Cause the numb is falling so cold and full
And the hardhearted forest
With the hardhearted trees
Tell a coldhearted story
That I can't believe
Steady on we'll seek out a new road
Steady on we'll find a way and go but we can't look back
Steady on we'll not reap what we've sown
Steady on oh even though we're sick and tired of sleeping then walking
Then sleeping then walking, then eating then sleeping then walking
Then sleeping then walking then sleeping then eating then sleeping
Then walking then sleeping then walking...

Dark Days Ahead
04:59
|

|
Oh warm corona bring
Sparkles from the north
What was held in store
To bring the morning gently to the shore
And before the battles come
Take this back to home
If all we had is gone
At least we'll see that light drifting from the shore
Oh if you have to go when the city falls
Stop to look around, just don't be that long
You will find it huddled in a ball
Or you'll find it burrowing down deep into a hole
Oh as you see the grass vibrating like gold
And you see the sun pulsing like a tone
You will find them huddled on the shore
Bent and crying, reaching up and singing to the sun

Guys On White Horses
04:20
|
|||
|
Do you like the sound?
Coming through the ground
will it drown us all
We're so close to completion
We're so close
If you cut the lawn
Please go very slow
Or you'll wake the ghosts
We're so close to completion
We're so close
Any little seed could grow to a weed and tangle the garden and grow
Over fourteen feet and be seen from the street by the guys on white horses x3

Calling The Shots
03:16
|
|||
|
I'm calling the shot
Come away little pigeon and sit by the motion
Reusing the spots
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
Under the stairs eating bones without a care in the world
I'm afraid that his face is as mouldy as mine
Much further beneath
My army of minions are peeling the onions
To highlight the teeth
Under the stairs eating bones without a care in the world
I'm afraid that his face is as mouldy as mine

God Bless You

Well the wind on the grass makes this sound
That blows right into our heads as we hide underground
And then the roots all drive through the dry through the dry and say..
And the birds tell us things that they've seen
'Bout how it looks so calm from the tops of the trees
But on the ground it's heaving and breaking and teething
And all our friends lie outstretched in the sand
Licking beads of sweat from the palms or their hands
And all the animals sigh "let us die, let us die"
and god bless you
We'll sit on the hilltop and watch them float away
But then we'll chase down those rainclouds and force them to explain why there's no rain
And the full moon thrives in this light
Even though it'll crash down to earth half the time
And all the vegetables sigh "let us die, let us die"
And god bless you, you and I
God bless you, you and I
God bless you

Sadtime
02:22
|
|||
|
Swallow all the wind I see
If I want to sing like I breathe
Hello little olive seed
Where you gonna be when we're ten
Fall around around the falling leaves
Walk around the falling trees
What's that got to do with this sad time?
People fall about
Crashy sound and windy spout
Only ever wanted a cold night
Walk around around the falling leaves
Fall around the falling trees
What's that got to do with this sad time?
People fall about
Crashy sound and windy spout
Only ever wanted a cold night

Old Light

At night some of us breathe
Old light come back in
All 'round some of us sit
thought waves dropping in
At night none of us dream
Old light come back in

Home And The Harvest
02:03
|

|
Here we are as we started
Far from home and the harvest
Death and salt feed the buildings
Grow them strong, tall and empty

Mr 3
03:55
|
|||
|
Mr 3 will exercise
As the words fall on both sides
fairies hats and squashed flies
In a big, hot, smelly pile
Look see the stripes
Burst from the sky and light muscle kites
Oh what a sight
They only like open eyes
Mr 3 will exercise
As the birds fall from the sky
fairies hats and squashed flies
In a big, hot, smelly pile
Look see the stripes
Burst from the sky and light muscle kites
Oh what a sight
They only like open eyes
Look down see the ocean beneath us
I almost had a stupid conversation with England

Seepyhead

|
Oh if you wake up
If your old mind wants to stay up
If you won't fall
If you won't die
Oh If you wake up
If you're old mind
just won't shut up
If you won't fall
If you won't die

Building Blocks

Build with building blocks
Build them right up to the top
You can do anything, anything
Carefully line them up
Sort the colours, mix them up
You can do anything, anything
Build with building blocks
Build them right up to the top
You can do anything, anything
Carefully line them up
Sort the colours, mix them up
You can do anything, anything
