Close To 02:03
lyrics
I like to walk on the South side It keeps me close to history I like to stroll in the footsteps It keeps me warm, I don't know why I like to think that I met you at the right time It's glorious I like to know what the truth is Innuendo All your faces All of your eye shine All of your finery Keep it close to me.

Folk Like Us 03:39
lyrics
It is so pleasant round these ways Don't change my home The people here, they feel the same Don't stay in range I've heard the whispers They're not too subtle Folk like us should never be seen I've heard the rumours They're not too pleasant either Folk like us should never be seen And folk don't like us They have their own grotesque Stand up where you want to be And folk don't like us They have their own grotesque Stand up where you want to be seen Folk don't like us Folk don't like us

My Consolation 02:21
lyrics
Can you hide my love away from sight I don't want people finding it's me Knowing that he lived a life, consoles I don't know why then, they need to pry Can you hide my love We meet again I'm glad to see that it didn't break you With full years gone by you're able to fade Lightning may strike once you've decided to You kept his coat Not for its warmth You kept his watch But never wound it up Can you hide my love I don't know why My consolation prize My consolation I don't mind hurting That's all there is now My consolation

Sun and Stars 02:27
lyrics
How can I say this So that you understand me and my world "You are my stars, You are the moon, You are my sun" Move over me, Please, hear me out. Because the sun is still moving I still love you Because the stars are still shining I still love you [Stars, moon, sun, shine] Take my hand and hold it tight Then let everyone see what it's like Take my hand and hold it tight Then let everyone see what it's like Take my hand and hold it tight Then let everyone see I'm in love.

Cosmonaut 03:30
lyrics
Come into my world I see all of you Circling above I see all of you Come into my world I am cosmonaut I see all of you

Flotsam and Jetsam 02:13
lyrics
Thrown around town Wind in your face Picking up discards, push handcarts In this town So jump overboard You're pushed overboard There clearly is a difference: your flotsam lost or jetsam cold
7.
Subsidence 02:48
lyrics
In my head All the time Relentless Tiring me down In my room now Now and forever on repeat It won't leave me I reject those who help me I'm ashamed: You think me weak It's lasting then Did I mention It destroys me All of the time Repeating themes Did I mention When I wake up 'til it subsides 'til it subsides
8.
Unexpectedly 04:09
lyrics
Looking at the wind blow Staring at the sea Time to let my heart go All for me going crazy Looking at your hands shake Picking at your skin Time to let my heart go All for me crazy Looking at the wind blow Staring at the sea Time to let my heart go All for me for me for me Tra la laa Sing that final melody Sing for me Sing for me Looking at the wind blow Staring at the sea All for me Tra la laa Sing that final melody

This Year's Black 02:34
lyrics
I wear black It frames my mood Stirring, restless It isn't cool And yet I love everything Bit the hand that sought to help me So much to do Cannot see the light for me So much to do now I wear black You've gone now I wear black It frames my mood Stirring, restless It isn't cool And yet I love everything Chances clear that I've been given So much to do Reflect the light I wear black it breaks my mood Stirring, restless, I'm unfulfilled And yet I love everything Back-off. I'm not having callers anymore Sorry, sorry Oh, so much, so much to do now I wear black As you've gone now

monotony 02:19
lyrics
Spoke in the system Working class girl Cut from the right cloth Disillusioned Don't wanna repeat that monotony Punk from the outset Styling campaigns Burnt your fingers They made you a dame Clad in tartan Polished marble Catwalk gleaming, preening, fawning Turn their heads and make them listen Change the world to save the children Passion projects: climate reeling from the habits we're concealing Take the message And repeat again until we get monotony
11.
Focus On Me 04:06
lyrics
I'm doing my best here So cut me some slack dear I'm always in focus Maybe not on things you chose for us I'm trying real hard here Stuck out in the yard dear It isn't my comfort zone Even though you think I call it home I'm doing my best here So cut me some slack dear I'm wired to every sound Pulled out of bounds I'm doing my best here So cut me some slack dear I'm always in focus Maybe not on things you chose for us Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me

Graves' Song 02:39
lyrics
You took your leave of homeland Left behind polite convention Harried in the trenches With rats and stench and You lived for King, then died No friends, no clerks survived The teacher went to pains Red poppies hiding stains The constant feed of bodies The structure of a grave Spiritual midwifery, intellectual discourse To shuffle words: they can't be worse Can't quell the ghosts inside You can't quell the ghosts Or stop the nightmares inside you You will always see their faces staring right at you You took your leave of homeland Left behind polite convention Harried in the trenches With rats and stench and You lived for King, then died No friends, no clerks survived The teacher went to pains Red poppies hiding You can't quell the ghosts or stop the nightmares inside you You will always see their faces staring right at you

No Heart 03:56
lyrics
They said "on your bike" Don't strike Don't try fighting We cannot bail you out We'd rather rip your heart out now They said "move down south" Leave your friends behind you You scraped for dirty gold too long It's time to clean your soul out now Get your bags packed For a long time For a long time Travel to the south now For a long time For a long time Get your bags packed For a long time For a long time Travel to the south now For a long time They said "move down south" (We don't need your vote) Leave your friends behind you (We don't need your vote) You scraped for dirty gold too long (We don't need your vote) It's time to clean your soul out now (We don't need you) Get your bags packed For a long time For a long time Travel to the south now For a long time For a long time Get your bags packed For a long time For a long time Travel to the south now For a long time

This Town 03:56
lyrics
Just get up and walk away I'm ⏙ℇ⟟☈⟄ by all that you know Not shaded like others' skins Stand up, yes, stand up It's no fun if you don't Silence when I don't count My vote will show my tone The flag I wave differs My true intent is shown And this town And this town And this town isn't mine Nail your colours to the mast Lose some friends when aghast Take some strife, and stress, and scream Stand up, yes, stand up That devil-sleep ain't sweet Silence when I don't count My vote will show my tone The flag I wave differs My true intent is shown And this town And this town And this town isn't mine This crowd's gone awry They're rattling the cage Lend a helping hand Instead of blinkered outrage I know you want to fight me I don't belong, that I can see The thousands in your corner I've a hunch, yes Here come punches I should leave this place Silence when I don't count My vote will show my tone The flag I wave differs My true intent is shown And this town And this land And this world Are not mine
