ALBUM LYRICS

​

I Want To
Running through St Pancras station
I couldn't catch my breath
I couldn't find the words I wanted to say
Pushing through the crowds I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
I'm making more mistakes along the way
I always think that we've got time
So run your fingers down my spine
Cos we've reached the end of the day
Oh I want to… with you
Monday morning underground
I don't know if I'm lost or found
Been thinking about the night before
You know your secret's safe with me
We'll leave the human factory
I'll soon be walking through your door
Cos every day's the same to me
The only thing that sets me free is you
Yeah I want to... with you
I want to
I want to with you

Soho Alone
All my life I've been waiting for you
Like a perfect storm you arrived like a bolt from the blue
Maybe a trick of the light under Soho skies
And you helped me to see that it's not about me all the time
Now the days are the nights and the night just goes on
And you promised you'd meet me on Wardour Street the next morning
Out in Soho alone
Soho alone
I wanna grab it before it slips away
Because things never last when you're stuck in the past always
You said it’s time to talk (we both know what that means)
We’ll go our separate ways (Don't ever wanna be schooled on the rules)
So what makes you think that you know better than me?
And the days are the nights and the nights drip away
And you say that you've changed but I let myself go I'm still falling
Down in Soho alone
Now the days become years like lines on my face
I've been waiting to meet you on Wardour Street - the same place
Down in Soho alone
Summer sacrifice kicked me out the back door
Don’t know what I did but you left me on the floor
Woke up outside by that telephone box
Bright red like your lips
I’ve never forgotten
We sheltered in there from the wind and the rain
And you pulled me inside and whispered my name
Oh my darling I want to go back there again
Scratch your heart on my arm with your new Bic pen
All my life I've been waiting for you

Happiness Is Letting Go
Listen my boy you’ve got time on your side
If you could open your mind, learn to swallow your pride
I know forgiving is hard
Only you can make it better
Come on pick up a pen
Put your heart into it write a letter
Listen my boy you can shout all you want
But know that raising your voice
Won’t ever get you what you want it to
I know that it’s hard, it’s so hard to believe
Just take it step by step by step
Open your lungs and just breathe
Happiness is letting go come rain come wind come sun come snow
Happiness is letting go
Listen my boy don’t follow my advice
(I never said I would follow
Won’t ever follow you into the darkness)
Make your own mistakes cos you only live twice
Kick off your shoes and move your hips to the beat
Now take it step by step by step
Now you can dance with your feet
Happiness is letting go come rain come wind come sun come snow
What dreams may come you’ll never know
Old man river told me so
Happiness is letting go
No no nobody taught me about letting go
No no nobody nobody nobody

​

Breath, Bones
I’ll promise you the stars above
Below your feet
And everything you ever loved
Take my soul
I don’t need it anymore
You’ve torn my heart apart
Oh take me home nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah now take me home
Just take me with you
Wherever you may be going
I can no longer stay
Take my breath my bones my lungs
They’re all I’ve left to give
They’re all I’ve left to give

Dismember Me (feat. Bellatrix)
Dismember me she said
Walking through my dreams
Undo all my threads
Pull me apart at the seams
I’m yours
I’m undone already
By the hands of another
Precise and steady
I need to feel the wind on my bones
Whistling through the cracks that I’ve shown you
I need to feel that you’re not made of stone
Making me feel empty and alone here
Remember me she said
Underneath my skin
Share with me your bed
Forget where you begin
I’m yours
I’m undone already
By the needs of another
So sweet and heady
I need to feel that I could say no
Crumbling before you have known me
I’ll promise you the stars above
The moon and everything you love for free
For free
She led my soul down a rabbit hole
I couldn’t see, I couldn’t see
She said I’ll promise you the stars above
The moon and everything you love for free
Dismember me he begged
Just before the end
Break me like you said
Show me where I end
I’ll promise you the stars above
The moon and everything you love
For free
It’s all free
I want to
I need to
I want you but can’t have you
She led my soul down a rabbit hole
I couldn’t see I couldn’t see
She said I’ll promise you the stars above
The moon and everything you love
For free

Set Me Free
If I could live my life once more I’d leave this all behind
You know I loved you like a fool I cut myself in two
I’ll catch up with you some other time
Maybe some other place I can bathe in your grace
Until then I’m gonna see what I find
Till then I’ll keep me away from you
Yeah I’ll keep me away from you
Set me free
So what happened to you, you’re not the human that I knew
But there’s no law against change
It’s something that we do
No living ain’t easy behind closed doors
Been losing my mind, have you been losing yours
Trying to keep me away from you
Trying to keep me away from you
Set me free
I know we’re not the only ones
I’ll meet you by the setting sun
Set me free
When will you call
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put us back together again

Take Me Home
Stole my money and ran away
To the Cayman Islands
Know I'll never find them
Corporate kings get political asylum
And I've noticed that I couldn't care less
What happened today
Yeah the future's on its way
Now take me home
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oh take me home
Seems to me you want it your own way
The bigger the better the brighter it's okay
I know you want to chop it all down
Suck it all up and then frack underground
Pop my pill, I’m walking a tightrope
Take that knife away from my throat
It happened today
Yeah the future's on its way now take me home
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oh take me home
Yeah take me home
When will you come take my hand in the sunshine
I’ll be your guide till the end of this dark time
Jumped a train to get away
From the forest fires
They’re getting higher and higher
I called them out and they called me a liar
Tried to claim my social credit
Don’t misbehave or you won't get it
Forced to lie to the best of my ability
Soon ended up in a criminal facility
No nobody’s going to come and bail you out
When your house is underwater and you’re screaming
You’re shouting
It happened today
Yeah the future's on its way
Now take me home
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oh take me home
No no no no no no
It’s all happening today

Sunrise
Sunrise
Sunrise it's a quarter to five but it's dark outside it's your daytime
Though I mumble and moan I'm still happy to share in
The light in your eyes boy I want you to keep it bottle it up
Yeah the light in your eyes oh I'm gonna be there
Right by your side
Time flies though it won't be long till you're sleeping all day wearing dark eyes
With an army of facts and cynical lines
But it's home time so go get your coat and jump on your scooter
The light in your eyes boy I want you to keep it bottle it up
Yeah the light in your eyes oh I'm gonna be there
Right by your side
When you fall in love don't hold back
When you fall
Sunrise, though my body's in pain let's go jump on a train to the seaside
Yeah we'll stuff all our faces and go for a ride
But it's home time so go get your coat and jump on the boat to
The light in your eyes boy I want you to keep it bottle it up
Yeah the light in your eyes oh I'm gonna be there
Right by your side

Are You With Me
I rowed my boat out to sea last night
A cold black heart in the pale moonlight
We’ll sail away for a year and a day
We’ll rest our head on a spider’s web
Set course for the sun till evening comes
We’ll sing for our supper to the beat of the drum
Are you with me?
I want to be a sailor and sail out to sea
With a hey and a ho and the wind and the rain
Are you with me?

Don’t Leave Me Behind
Don’t let them steal away your mind
Don’t let them drive away your hope
Cos pretty soon you’ll be unkind
And they’ll be handing you a rope
No I don’t like what I’ve become
An angry soul out on the run
Don’t hold a mirror up to me
Cos I won’t like what I see
Hey love
They’ll soon be taking us away love
They’ll soon be taking us away
Yeah see that girl out with a gun
I thought that she would be someone
That I could follow and believe
Though she may flatter to deceive
It seems she played me for a fool
A mindless zombie to be ruled
But this dominion is a lie
And I’ll resist until I die
Hey love
They’ll soon be taking us away love
You’d best be careful what you say love
They’ll soon be taking us away
Don’t leave me behind
Nobody cares about nobody nobody

I’d Rather
I’d rather a short life in the wild
Than this captivity
For though I don’t wear chains
My future isn’t free
I’m paying through the nose
Everywhere I go
I’d rather the earth beneath my feet
Than this flying machine
For though it gets me high
There’s nothing here to lean on
As I fall I fall into the blue
They say that nothing beats the bang of the drum
They say that soon there’ll be nowhere left to run
Can you hear me now? I’m fading down
Can you hear me now?
I’d rather an hour in your arms
Than this eternity
The taste of your lips
The medicine I need
And so I’ll say goodnight
See you the other side
