We lived a month in a cul de sac
Spent July on our knees
Sifted through all the scenery
And skipped the stuff we couldn’t keep
Sorted out all the paperwork
Painted over the cracks
We flicked through family photographs
And marvelled at what our parents had
Now you, you know everything about me
And me, I sit around watching you
We found comfort in her captain’s chair
Got a good price for the matching pair
Boxed up all the crockery cause who knows maybe we’ll need it someday
An ashtray beside the telephone
A pair of gloves made of herringbone
The window's open but the heating's on
And everyone wants to go home
Now you, you know everything about me
And me, I sit around watching you
You took her photograph
Then she disappeared
The only thing I can think of,
And I’m doubting myself here
Where did she go?
Do you think it’s weird?
To think there’s someone with you?
Do you think there’s someone with you?
Now you, you know everything about me
And me, I sit around watching you

Second Day Skin
03:25
|

In your second day skin
Talk to me
Tell me where you’ve been
In your second day skin
Lie next to me
I want to breathe you in
In your second day skin
In your second day skin
Dance with me
I want to hear you sing
In your second day skin
Stand next to me
I want you to surrender
To my second day skin
I’ve never had patience
I never had lots of money
Exaggerate stories
And none of my jokes are funny
But I love you every day and night
What is mine is yours and yours is mine
All the time
In your second day skin
Talk to me
Tell me where you’ve been
In your second day skin
Lie next to me
I want to breathe you in
In your second day skin
Optimistically hopeful
But not with a hippy ideal
If you’re looking for answers
Do you really need to know how I feel?
But I love you every day and night
What is mine is yours and yours is mine
All the time
In your second day skin

How A Kid Sees It
04:10
|
|||
I always seem to let you down in your dreams
Why is the dog looking at me pleading?
Our room holds secrets only we've been keeping
That’s how a kid sees it
I slump into an old familiar low
Why is it so complicated?
Is simple overrated?
The future won’t be how you planned it.
You’ll never understand it
There he is mocking my hairdo, what’s new?
Making a comeback could be good for you.
You can be anything that you wanna be
That’s how a kid sees it
I slump into an old familiar low
Why is it so complicated?
Is simple overrated?
The future won’t be how you planned it.
You’ll never understand it
The future. Don’t plan, it’s useless.
The future. Won’t shape your memory.

Sugar

Make her high
Make her high
Make her skate on thin ice
Make her fall
Make her fall
Take a pound, take it all
Find your way to my home
Cross the grass on your own
Find your way to my door
Find yourself wanting more
Has it always been this way?
Has it always been too late?
Shine some light
Shine some light
Make her whole, make it right
Don’t play rough
Don’t play rough
Don’t be scared, get enough
Find your way to my room
Cross the hall, get here soon
Find your way to my soul
Find yourself swallowed whole
Has it always been this way?
Has it always been too late?
Sugar

Great White Shark
03:15
|
|||
If you say it you should mean it
Just let the words go
If you believe it they’ll believe it
We’ll take it real slow
You say you’d like to disappear
But where would we go if we leave here?
If you feel it then reveal it
Just let the line go
Look in the heart of a Great White Shark
When you open your eyes you’re afraid of the dark
Now everything feels like it’s falling apart
Great White Shark

This Is Where We Are
02:55

This is where we are
An OK phase for you
An OK phase for me
OK for everybody
This is where we are
Speeding past the scenery
Find comfort in fine company
There's someone for everybody
Twist in twist over
Twist out twist under
Always one in the middle
Twist in twist over
Twist out twist under
Always one in the middle
This is where we are
An OK phase for you
An OK phase for me
OK for everybody
This is where we are
Speeding past the scenery
Find comfort in fine company
There's someone for everybody
Never had time
For the lazy easy
Cant take shortcuts anyway
Never had time
For the lazy easy
Can't take shortcuts anyway
This is where we are
An OK phase for you
An OK phase for me
OK for everybody
This is where we are
Speeding past the scenery
Find comfort in fine company
There's someone for everybody
Never took time
To call or write or say
I always loved you anyway
Never took time
To call or write or say
I always loved you anyway
Don’t you know that I try?

Co-Optimist
04:14
|
|||
I hear his voice when I talk to you
My hands are his too
I see his eyes in the rear view
My hands are his too
Loan me your gold tooth
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it
Throw me your lucky horseshoe
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it
Bury your head in my shoulder
I’ll kneel beside you
And hold your knees through the holes in your jeans
I’ll kneel beside you
Sharpen your arrow
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it
Bequeath me your fortune
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it
Loan me your gold tooth
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it
Throw me your lucky horseshoe
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it
Sharpen your arrow
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it
Bequeath me your fortune
Co-Optimist
We can make it
We can make it

Good Looks
04:04
|
|||
Sleepyhead come back for summer
I can’t dream without my lover holding onto me
You
Me
You
You could trace it back to me
You could trace it back to me
One of these days
Your good looks gonna get you in trouble
As you're heading out the front door
One of these days
Your good looks are gonna get you in trouble
You won’t wave
As you're heading out the front door
Sing my name, it sounds like honey
You think that I’m looking at you funny
Not me
At you
Me
You
You could trace it back to me
You could trace it back to me
One of these days
Your good looks gonna get you in trouble
As you're heading out the front door
One of these days
Your good looks gonna get you in trouble
You won’t wave
As you're heading out the front door
Good Looks...

Poor Relation
03:07
|
|||
You’ve been hiding the truth
You’ve been hiding the truth from everyone
You’ve been getting away with everything for way too long
A poor relation to me
A poor relation to everybody
Take responsibility
Say your sorry
Face the things you’ve done
Check your reality
I'm not the enemy
You say, “What can we do?
Where can we go from here?”
It’s too late to sit around
You must take action now
The world does not owe you a living
You need to look outside
You need an open mind
You owe us this time
You need to look outside
You need an open mind
You owe us your time
My answer is this.
Get up, get out and mow the lawn!
Make your bed, get dressed and get on.
Breathe and start again….
A poor relation to me
A poor relation to everybody
Take responsibility
Say your sorry
Fix the things you’ve done.
Check your reality
I'm not the enemy
You say, “What can we do?
Where can we go from here?”
It’s too late to sit around
You must take action now!
The world does not owe you a living
You need to look outside
You need an open mind
You owe us this time
You need to look outside
You need an open mind
You owe us your time
A poor relation to me
A poor relation to me

Made Up
04:25
|
|||
Tell me what do you see?
Keep me safe in your dreams
In the blink of an eye
As we look to the sky
Fit the width of a room
And we all say goodbye
You are beautiful to me now
Here goes, the worry shows
Shoot me when I’m too old
In the blink of an eye
As we look to the sky
Fit the width of a room
And we all say goodbye
You are beautiful to me now
We made up
We made up
Heave ho! And off we go!
A hero nobody knows…
In the blink of an eye
As we look to the sky
Fit the width of a room
And we all say goodbye
You are beautiful to me now
We made up
We made up
