Concussion
02:10
|

(Verse 1)
I might start wearing hats
I might start drinking white
Paper cut broke my back
Concussion saved my life
It's all easy when you're fast asleep
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Walking down the corridor
With the lights on
And I'm dark
But they can't see my line of vision
Digging in my elbows
In Tesco's
Letting the wall to wall floors become my bed
I may have hit my head
(Chorus 1)
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
Ohhhh-oh-ohhohhh-ohhhhohhhh-hooooo-ho-ho
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
(Verse 2)
I might start wearing hats
I might start drinking white
Paper cut broke my back
Concussion saved my life
It's all easy when you're far away
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Living in a desk job
Happy hump day
And I'm dark
But look out, here comes my OOO
Take another avenue
Down the red route
Sing lala lalala until I'm dead
It's happening again
(Chorus 2)
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
Ohhhh-oh-ohhohhh-ohhhhohhhh-hooooo-ho-ho
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
(Chorus 3)
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Clap-clap-clap-clap
Ohhhh-oh-ohhohhh-ohhhhohhhh-hooooo-ho-ho
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Noise
03:21
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Does Polly want a cracker?
Or does it think the noise means food?
Nobody's perfect
When you're letting yourself off the hook
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Oh I really want to have fun
So what do we do?
What do we do?
(Chorus 1)
Fighting for my enemies
'Cause I believe there's love behind the door
Agree or disagree
What do I need?
What am I waiting for? Waiting for
Does Polly want a cracker?
Or does it think the noise means food?
(Verse 2)
Does a planet know your zip code?
Does it even know we're here?
And who would remember
If we chose to disappear? Yeah
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Oh I really want to have fun
So what do we do?
What do we do?
Oh I really want to have fun
So what do we do?
What do we do?
(Chorus 2)
Fighting for my enemies
'Cause I believe there's love behind the door
Agree or disagree
What do I need?
What am I waiting for? Waiting for
Does Polly want a cracker?
Or does it think the noise means food?
(Bridge)
I want to get some peace
I want to go hate free
Not gonna carry that weight with me
Delete, delete, delete, delete
I want to get some peace
I want to go hate free
Not gonna carry that weight with me
Delete, delete, delete, delete
(Chorus 3)
Fighting for my enemies
'Cause I believe there's love behind the door
Agree or disagree
What do I need?
What am I waiting for? Waiting for
Does Polly want a cracker?
Or does it think the noise means food?

Just

It's just life
It's just things
It's just time
It just means
It's just a telephone
It just rings
It's just a call
It's just me
It's just chocolate
Just a treat
Just one more bite
Just one more piece
Just one more day
Just one more week
Just one more hour
Just one more thing
It's just a chair
Just what you do
It's just a year
It's just two
It's just your life
It's just your work
It was just one night
And it just hurt
It was just the once
It was just because
It just happened
It just does
It's just a number
Just your age
It's just the gender of your wage
It's just a door
Let's just live here
It's just for twenty five years
It's just that much
'Cause it just is
And we're just distracted
It's just TV
Just radio
It's just an app
It's just a show
It's just a song
It's just a book
It's just a child
It's just a hook
Just 'cause belief
Just say the word
It's just a boot
And it just hurt
It's just a building
Just a plane
It's just somewhere far away
It's just
Just 'cause belief
Just play your part
It's just a trigger
And it's just a heart
It's just a dream
It's just a joke
It's just a race
You're just too slow
It's just a prayer
It's all just dust
It's just them it's never us
So just in case it's just a dream
I'll just believe it's just for me
And just because we're all just here
I'll just hope somebody hears
It's just life
It's just things
It's just time
And it just means
It's just a memory

Power
02:30
|
|||
(Verse 1)
The night the power went out
The world got smaller
I saw the person next to me
Grow ten feet taller
We ate what was put in front of us
Made what couldn't come to us
Were we poorer?
(Chorus 1)
Go hang on the side of a rainbow
Oh we said
No one's home
Looking through the windows of raincoats
Oh the night we went home
(Verse 2)
The night the power went out
We still existed
The sky, the rust, the point
I nearly missed it
Closer, we learned how to trust
I did something for us
We existed
(Chorus 2)
Go hang on the side of a rainbow
Oh we said
No one's home
Looking through the windows of raincoats
Oh we said
No one's home
Looking through the windows of raincoats
Oh the night we went home

(Verse 1)
You've got his face in your purse
But I saw you first
I made you laugh, you say, 'come do your worst'
I know I made your heart go
But I wonder how far though
There's got to be some kind if pay off for all my bravado
(Pre-Chorus 1)
'Cause you're searching for something but I think
You need something else
A little bit of something else
(Chorus 1)
'Cause you've been with the guy who won't meet your eye
'Cause he lied about where he's been
And you wasted your tears on trying to get near
'Cause he doesn't want to let you in
Yeah, you served your time with the one who made you feel bad about yourself
Oh and you deserve better and I'm still here
So call me when you want a little bit of something else
Little bit of something else
You need something else
Little bit of something else
(Verse 2)
You tell me your pain
Say you're ok
But you bite your nails if I say his name once
Oh and I know the next one
He's just like the last one
You'll find out who he is in a couple of months
(Pre-Chorus 2)
'Cause you're searching for something but I think
You need something else
A little bit of something else
(Chorus 2)
'Cause you've been with the guy who won't meet your eye
'Cause he lied about where he's been
And you wasted your tears on trying to get near
'Cause he doesn't want to let you in
Yeah, you served your time with the one who made you feel bad about yourself
Oh and you deserve better and I'm still here
So call me when you want a little bit of something else
Little bit of something else
You need something else
Little bit of something else
(Bridge)
I'm just waiting
It's just a case of when
But he says all the right things
And you start it all again
It goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
(Chorus 3)
'Cause you've been with the guy who won't meet your eye
'Cause he lied about where he's been
And you wasted your tears on trying to get near
'Cause he doesn't want to let you in
Yeah, you served your time with the one who made you feel bad about yourself
Oh and you deserve better and I'm still here
So call me when you want a little bit of something else
Little bit of something else
You need something else
Little bit of something else

Beeline
02:31
|
|||
(Verse 1)
I'm not paying that 'cause that's too dear
Paint tagged the wall, the artist was here
The roof came down
'Cause we're six points clear
And none of this'll matter in a couple of years
Jump out the tea cup, nobody cares
This, maybe that, maybe leave it all there
Lining up, twos by the door of the train
Likes it's D-day and we say
(Chorus 1)
I'm in the spotlight
I'll make a beeline for the treeline
I'm in the streetlight
I'll make a beeline for the night
Ok, but all this time with strangers
Seems so strange
(Verse 2)
Gym gear rusting out in the shed
Over and over what somebody said
Watching it quietly ruin your day
On the home train
No way
(Chorus 2)
I'm in the spotlight
I'll make a beeline for the treeline
I'm in the streetlight
I'll make a beeline for the night
I'm in the spotlight
I'll make a beeline for the treeline
Oh the treeline
I'm in the streetlight
I'll make a beeline for the night yeah
Ok, but all this time with strangers
Seems so strange

Astronomers
04:01
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Time for the big, fat quiz of you
You know all the answers
But you don't like them
And these screaming streets are empty too
And the words are faster
Than I can write them
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Cause the things I thought we could, we can't
And the things that I thought were, just aren't
But I've just seen what is
And it's not hard
(Chorus 1)
Caught between the sea and the rocks
Astronomers and astronauts
This time, if you run, don't stop
Oh, if you want to, go
If you want to, watch
Swaying on the night bus
Astronomers and astronauts
(Verse 2)
Time for losing it to someone else
You don't know what you want
But you know that you do want
And I can't put it on the shelf
Cause no one ever told me
(Pre-Chorus 2)
How to put one up
But I can build you a model of a restaurant
And tell you what kind of food we'd serve inside
If I tried
(Chorus 2)
Caught between the sea and the rocks
Astronomers and astronauts
This time, if you run, don't stop
Oh, if you want to, go
If you want to, watch
Swaying on the night bus
Astronomers and astronauts
(Chorus 3)
Oh, if you want to, go
If you want to, watch
Swaying on the night bus
Astronomers and astronauts

Trying
04:12
|
|||
(Verse 1)
I'll tell you where I've been
But it's a separate thing
Getting lost in made up memories
I'll tell you where I've been
And I'll tell you what I did
Wouldn't change one bit
Couldn't change it any more
Than I could change what you think of it
(Chorus 1)
Well every little thing could be this awful
Every little thing is great
On my best day I'm a lion
But there's a lot of other days when I'm just trying
I'm just trying, I'm just trying to be
(Verse 2)
You show me who we are
And we play the part
Quoting all our TV memories
Just show me who we are
And we look up at the sky
Saying, 'someday I...'
And we give the moon some company
And we'll get there next time
(Chorus 2)
Well every little thing could be this awful
Every little thing is great
On your best day you're a lion
But there's a lot of other days when we're just trying
We're just trying, we're just trying to be
(Bridge)
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
(Chorus 3)
Oh every little thing could be this awful
Every little thing is great
On you best day you're surviving
But on every other day we're just trying
We're just trying, we're just trying
We're just trying, oh trying to be
I'll tell you where I've been
But it's a separate thing
