Lyrics
You're so great
That's all I wanna do
Where'd you go?
In a salty sea
A day is far too long
R U lonely?
I wish
Hard + Slow
Me you, we two
Waiting
Who the fuck?
Tender
Coffee and TV
You're so great
Sad, drunk and poorly
Sleeping really late
Sad, drunk and poorly
Not feeling so great
Wandering lost in a town full of frowns
Sad, drunk and poorly
Dogs digging up the ground
And I feel the light
In the night and in the day
And I feel the light
When the sky's just mud and grey
And I feel the light
When you tell me it's okay
Cos you're so great, and I love you
Tea, tea and coffee
Helps to start the day
Tea, tea and coffee
Shaking all the way
City's alive, a surprise, so am I
Drink tea and coffee
Get no sleep today
And I feel the light
In the night and in the day
And I feel the light
When the sky's just mud and grey
And I feel the light
When you tell me it's okay
Cos you're so great, and I love you
Top of the page
That's all I wanna do
I saw you today
You were too far away
It had hurt me to say
Hurt me to say
The words
The words I have to say.
There ain't no sound
When you're not around
And it gets me down
Yeah it gets me down
My life feels so brown.
I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do
I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do.
Inside my brain
It's just not the same
Cos it started to rain
It's started to rain.
I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do
I just want to be with you
That's all I wanna do.

Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Dark eyed traveller
I almost feel you breathe.
Where'd you go?
Dark eyed traveller
Can you even hear me speak?
You make things bright
When they took the night away
Led me inside and kissed all my tears away
Said you were here to stay.
Where'd you go?
In the morning
When I was way down with dream
Where'd you go?
In the morning
When fever pulled me down stream.
You made things bright
And you took the night away
Lend me your eyes and show me a brand new way
Now I just feel dead today.

In a salty sea
Long time on the phone line
There's sunshine when I dial 9
Small breaths form words
Like crystals in warm air
And I want you for my very very own
In a salty sea, our voices meet.
Long time on the phone line
There's sunshine when I dial 9

Like crystals in warm air
And I want you for my very very own

A day is far too long
On sticks and sand, lost my money, lost my hands
Blood on my brain, too much salt in my veins
And I thought pain was clean
And I thought hearts were strong
But bones aren't sticks anymore
And a day is far too long.
So many days never needing any grace
Live for kicks and danger, there'd be beauty anyway
And I thought pain was clean
And I thought hearts were strong
But bones aren't sticks anymore
And a day is far too long,
And a day is far too long,
And a day is far too long.

R U lonely?
When all the nights are dream
And not really what they seem
I cut my hair in spite
And set my hands on fire.
R U lonely?
R U lonely?
R U lonely?
In the daylight hours
I go out and kill the flowers
Faces all to clear
Keep on looming near.
R U lonely?
R U lonely?
R U lonely?

I wish
I wish the music would play by itself
Shredded fingers, no ideas.
I wish this rainy day could be the last
Could the world end, what a god send.
I wish I could stop wishing you were here
But I don't want to, cos I still want you.
I wish I didn't feel so flippin mad
Don't wanna scare you, just wanna love you.
I wish my life could last a thousand years
Then I'd be clever, and build a heaven.
I wish I could bring Nick Drake back to life
He'd understand, hold my hat band.
I wish a constant stream of happy shit
Live forever, in world of leather.
I wish the rain would just leave me alone
I can't wear that, stupid rain hat.
I wish I was in Californ-I-A
Perno perfurme, in the Danube.
I wish the thing of love meant just one thing
Cinderella, salmonella.

Trying to begin
Trying to begin

Trying to begin

And the wind will blow
But my love won't go
My love won't go
Me you
We two
Trying to begin

Waiting
Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
And I don't want no one to know
I can't talk with you
I can't talk with you
I can't talk with you
I can't talk with you
If you don't want me to
Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend
Waiting for my friend

Who the fuck?
I stole the bottle of gin from over the counter and ran,
I knew I'd been seen. I scarpered stifling giggles down
the street and hid round a corner on a side street.
I heard him huffing and the sound of his big feet against
the paving, he was getting close. As he rounded the corner
i sighted him up down the barrel of the gun and on seeing
his expression change to one of horror + confusuib jerked
back the trigger. His body was jolted back by the force of
the bullet + his feet flew foward. I saw a bright little rivulet
of blood are into the air and I slid the gin into the waistband
of my trousers.
Who you fuckin lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Is there really a thing like feeling too much?
Can you really escape + numb the real?
There's a way of saying, a way of sayin a shape - I feel a
certain shape and it's complicated it's not like a square or
a circle It's like crystal or diamond, it's clean, hard,
unfathomable and it ends in an augmental kiss
It ends in an augmental kiss
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Rock Stars are NOT cool
They're full of his guy they call satan,
Kids stuff oozing from their mouths.
They wear the shoes of dead soldiers shot by soldiers, valium
horses trotting squeezing through their rasberry blood.
Sometimes I feel so stoopid I wanna quit - get out of it cus
I hate this world and everyone in it - The fat Bald men who
run it - the fat bald men
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?
Who the fuck you lookin at?

Coffee and TV
Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are
So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Do you go to the country
It isn't very far
There's people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are
Your ears are full of the language
There's wisdom there you're sure
'Til the words start slurring
And you can't find the door
So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
