Crossing time-zones
Godforsaken deserts
Midnight in transit stations
The illusion of freedom
Written in blood written in stone
It's just an idea
It's just an idea
The twisted wreck
Of a helicopter gunship
A distant call to prayer
Sweet liquorice and bitter cigarettes
It's just an idea [...]
He carries her in his heart
She's all he had now all he has
White knuckles holding fast
His mother's photograph in a young man’s hands
Now everything is lost
Now everything is lost
They say half the future’s buried in the past
But the fallen will not weep for us
When it’s our time to choose
It's just an idea [...]

Wild

Man running from burning building
He says why does everyone
Everyone have to be on a journey
What if I don't want I don't want to be on a journey
And you can fight the flames
Try to salvage what remains and tell yourself you're someone good
But there's a part of us that's wild
Doesn't want to be rewired to live in tidy neighbourhoods
Man running from burning building
He says why does everything
Everything have to be for a reason
What if I don't want I don't want to know if there's a reason
And you can fight the flames [...]

Lost In Transit
03:26

There's a message
It says come back right now
And you looked like you'd seen a ghost
People talking
Then they're moving away
And you're questioning everything
Transatlantic
And the earth was shaking
Lost in transit
Lost in mid translation
Oh and the kingdom to come
Will be a kingdom of reason
Did I tell you
All the things we could see
When they held you up to the light
Drink some vodka and then
Walk out the door
You said this is better for everyone
[Chorus]
We like the meaningful songs
They send a meaningful signal
In the Hare Krishna restaurant in Soho
No one recognised you
Coz you didn't look much like the photo
On the inside
I said everyone's lost
And you said yeah but nobody really cares
Run the numbers
And learn to be smart
Now the world is turned upside down
[Chorus]

Drowned A Thousand Times
03:39

I’ve drowned a thousand times
I’ll drown a thousand more
Your ocean’s tide
Draws me down, down, down
All space bends to your will
And time itself stands still
All motion stopped
All pain forgot
The sun may rise and the sun may fall
But all I hear is the Sirens’ call
I’m strung out on the shore
I’d curse these yellow sands
But your song’s so sweet
There’s no storm can break this sleep
I dreamed you set me free
But I couldn’t keep away
Yeah there’s no price
I would not pay
The sun may rise and the sun may fall
But all I hear is the Sirens’ call

Now I'm A Grownup
04:12

When I was seventeen
And really so in love
I did not understand
How much of an embarrassment I was to you
But looking back I see
You were really very kind to me
And you had to move on
But at the time I just felt so rejected
But now I'm a grownup
I'll say I don't care
And life's just a train wreck
And life isn't fair
But when I look in the mirror
I'm not sure what I see
Now I'm a grownup
When I was ten and
We were driving back from holiday
And it was dusk and we hit this young deer
After we came off the motorway
And it was hurt real bad
Dad stopped the car got out to do what had to be done
But I could not understand
I thought it was my fault I so wanted it to be OK
[Repeat chorus]
It never really goes away
It never really goes away

See you same time tomorrow
Goodbye Kelly goodbye Sister J
Oh yes you hide your sorrow well but
No need to tell these kids that god does not appear to care
Oh if he's even there
Walked down to old St Martin it's
Dusk already there's cold December rain
In the Piccadilly lights
This place has seen the lost and found for
Seven hundred years
And so they come and pray
Or just to stay out of the rain
Oh were there words enough and time I would
Explain the world away and
If life's just a story (maybe) we can change the ending if we try
And though the past's been priced and sold
Tomorrows yet untold
Strayed into being happy
Fields of barley framed our stupid bliss
But it was all reflected lights
I never learned how to be kind until I lost someone I loved
But I'm not here to pray
Just trying to stay out of the rain
[Repeat chorus]
And the words become a song
And the child becomes a man

It's Not The Money
02:53

Born in Belarus in 86 yeah
Worked in construction back on the farm then
Dressed as a bishop she did deals in St Peters now she
Drives a Bugatti through the streets of Lausanne
It's not the money that's what she said
Don't want to end up with a hole in the head
We'll rule the world with the power of love
Oh do you think so coz
I don’t think so
We took an Uber to the conference centre she said
They’ll act like animals to get what they want
Blood on the dance floor but you get what you pay for when you
Hang with the cool kids at the policy disco
It's not the money that's what they said
No one looks good with a hole in the head
We'll rule the world with the power of love
Oh do you think so
I can't stay in bed for ever
My real life will never start
Complications don't want to know
Happy ending I don't think so
Hybrid warfare
Grand synthesis
Do the practice
Get dog biscuits
Keep it simple
Keep it stupid
Makes us feel good
We’re gonna use it
It's not the money that's what we said [...]

We All Know How It Ends

Last night I dreamed that I could play the guitar
I was on The Titanic trying to sing
My heart will still go on
But I kept getting it wrong and
I couldn't get the high notes but
At least we hadn't hit the iceberg yet and
All the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try
I was studying Kate Winslet
She was standing by a ventilation inlet
In a girly dress despite the cold and
I could see that she was not impressed
By my extraordinary rendition
I said you're looking nice and
I need relationship advice and she replied
Let's take a walk on the starboard side
And the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try
When life's too flattering too sweet
We all like to pretend
But we all know how it ends
We're listing to port and
Kate's politely listening as
I'm listing all the things I should have said to you but
Never did
And realistically I think she's thinking
Less about you and me and
Rather more about the fact that
We've all started sinking yeah
Into the unforgiving sea oh
But the stars above us shone [...]
