Head's Chocka
03:03
|

We’re still waiting for this evening
We’re still waiting for the summer
I’m tongue tied over you
We’re still waiting on a feeling
We’re still waiting for New Year’s
I’m tongue tied over you
I’m tongue tied over it
Baby, you know I’ve always been a romantic
I could die but what would I miss?
Why can’t we just take this moment
Flatter it with rapturous applause and leave early doors
Listen, my head is chocka
But I can no longer forget here and now
Oh, how
I’m tongue tied over you
Baby, I know it’s always been cathexis
I could die but what would I miss?
Every unknown is stronger than certainty
I will linger on in search of…

Do That Thing
02:54
|
|||
Today I failed again
I let the voices in my head tell me to stay in bed
for a little while yet
I was gonna do that thing and then that other thing
But just slept instead
and now I’m full of regret
So why don’t you come over?
I’ll make you a cup of tea… or coffee
Where do we all go when we’re grey and old?
Our eyes are glued to our phones
just waiting for someone to say hello
How you doing? How’s it going? How you been?
Yeah not too bad thanks mate
You?
Tomorrow I’ll be different I’ll be much better equipped
Yeah I’ll stick to my alarm and get through all my different bits
Gonna run all of my errands
I’ll be finished around seven
Then I wanna talk to you all night
Wanna stare into each other’s eyes
In our ideal surroundings
Surrounded by all our ideals
I wanna lay with you forever
I need to know how that feels
Where do we all go when we’re grey and old?
I sometimes look at my phone
But most of the time now I just don’t
How you doing? How’s it going? How you been?
Yeah not too bad thanks mate
I hope to see you someday soon

Crushing Weight
02:51
|
|||
The crushing weight giving me something to believe in
While I’m staring at the ceiling
Wondering how you’re still sleeping
when the Earth’s about to end
You know the world’s about to end
Or is that just how I’m feeling inside
I wanna know why
I love you
And that’s all I do
The weight of that someday
will cause me to blow
Erupt and explode
I procrastinate
Put it all off until this evening
‘cause my feet are fucking freezing
The weather report can be so misleading
And the year’s about to end
I know the year’s about to end
At least we’ve got the central heating inside
I wanna know why
I love you
And that’s all I do
The weight of that someday
will cause me to fold
Collapse and implode
Inside I kinda wanna die
Oh, my insides are falling out my eyes
I love you

Boredom Abound
02:27
|
|||
Boredom abound
The leaves have hit the ground
Wind on my face
A thousand tiny blades
Roll into town
Soothe habitual breakdown
Glide through the swathes
Tryna gain a sense of place
Oh, the big lie
The daily slog
Tryna excavate the fog
Feeling unmoored
What am I floating out toward?
Moving to the city
No escaping the self pity
Grab a slice of the pie
We’re class traitors, you and I
Oh, the big lie
Reach for the heart or you’ll never know
And let it go
Back to the start, rewind the months
And let it all go

Every Corner
02:11
|
|||
I feel uneasy now and I don’t know how
But there’s a spider in every corner of my house
I’ve been awake all night and I don’t know why
But now there’s sleep in all four corners of my eyes
You said that you’d never seen Mary Harron’s year 2000 horror comedy starring Christian Bale… Better put that on now
I’m feeling pretty queasy now and I don’t know how
But there’s an ulcer in every corner of my mouth
It’s like I can’t unwind
It’s difficult to find a quiet place in any corner of my mind
You said that you’d never seen The Weitz Brothers’ 1999 genre definer starring Jason Biggs… I think we’ll give that one a miss

Got, Need
04:12
|
|||
All the best ones
you gave away
And all the best ones
you gave away
Got, got, got, need, got
Need, got, need
I’ll trade with you at break
But how long will it take
before the cynical school will ban it all?
School will ban it all
Oh, you were my best friend
But I’m lazy and I messed up
Went with the boys with the bigger bro’s
Cooler toys and baggy clothes
No more sticks for lightsabers
In the top, top playground
Bulldog on rough ground
Hold out for rounders
Meet me in the top playground
Football on rough ground
Jumpers for goalposts
I’ll stay with you at break
But how long will it take
before we feel the pull?
Move to different schools
Lose our innocence
Grow up warts and all
Fuck it I’ma stay young
and watch Dragon Ball from the start
And when I get home I’ll dig out the PlayStation 2
Do you remember before we forgot how to cry?
Do you remember before we learned how to lie?
I’ll lay with you at break
But how long will it take
Before we start to fall
Start the feedback loop
Reopen the wound
Turn our brains to soup
All the best ones
You gave away

Been catching feelings like little green men catching fish off Pacific islands
I’ve been losing all my marbles
Maybe you can help me find them
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about jumping from something tall
I hope the scythes remorseless swing can bring some comfort to us all
‘Cause I’m done
I’ve had enough of feeling like this
Yeah I’m done
I’ve had enough of feeling like this

Beans
01:59
|
|||
Caveat everything ‘cause I’m aware that my mind works different to yours
I’d like to get away from it all
Come home put my phone in the microwave oven
Beans and macaroni and cheese and jacket potatoes
A cake in a mug
You can cook anything you want
(You can cook anything, you can do anything, you can be anyone you like)
You can be anyone you like
Criticise everything ‘cause I’m aware that my life’s just as boring as yours
I’d like to get away for a while
Find a wife
Spend my time doing things I can’t stand
We go to Spain for a week every summer
My Way - Sinatra gets played at my wake
You can say anything you want
(You can say anything, you can do anything, you can be anyone you like)
You can be anyone you like
Probably not

See Thru
03:43
|
|||
In debt from the start
Blood flows away from the middle part
Lost in the park
Clinging on to the monkey bars
See you
You’re see through
Follow the heart
Stifled by too much cheese and cortisol
Some days it’s a graft just getting up and putting on your clothes
See you
You’re see through
And I’m the curtains drawn all day
Where did you go?
How did you know what I was thinking?
Quail egg of a man
Crack with anything you’ve got to hand
Believe me I can
do some good if I learn to relax
See you
You’re see through
And I’m the washing up bowl water
Where did you go?
How could you see through all the smoke and projection?
See you
You’re see through
And I’m the politician’s playbook
Where did you go?
How did you know what I was thinking?
Where did you go?
How could you see through all the bluff and the blunder?

Progress With Denise
03:30
|
|||
You come and then you go whenever you need somebody to tell you that you’re the best
To work through your regrets
But you still moan whenever something turns out to be different from how you thought
Those shoes that you just bought don’t fit your feet but you still wear them
‘Cause you just like them
And you’re just like that
And I don’t mind it
You come and then you go whenever you need somebody to tell you what to think
To buy you another drink
But then you get up when your phone rings
There must be somewhere you’d rather be
With someone you’d rather see
Got me exactly where you want me
Now I’m just sitting here staring at my phone screen
Same time next week?
I come and then I go whenever I need somebody to tell me that it’s alright
To get me through the night
Wish we were all stuck in the 90s
Disintegration on repeat
Better check my progress with Denise
‘Cause I don’t recognise her lately
I wonder if she hates me
Is it just me who hates me?
Definitely, Maybe

What's In A Name
03:49
|
|||
It’s gonna take a long time
But it’s only right
Stick that where the sun don’t shine
You say, “it’s a losing game”
So we bottle it all up
Twitter eggs over-fried
Take it back to the echo chamber
With a note
Says “they’re all the same”
Mm, what’s in a name?
Are we calling it burnout
Nothing left of the tank
Bogged down by the algorithm
I can’t do the simplest things
Another self made man mansplaining
Football club crest avatar
Says “I’ve worked hard for all my life
so I can do what I like”
And that’s the biggest lie
Who gets a slice of the pie?
I’m lying down this evening
With holes burnt through my eyes
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’d like to see you try
to stop me from feeling
It’s the system not my brain
Oh, what’s in a name?

You just wanted company
But I took all your energy
Waiting on a bench for me
It’s better when we talk
You bring out the worst in me
Please don’t take that personally
Tolerate my ASD ‘til you’re completely sick
Daylight saving time
It feels like I’m wasting my life and I’m losing my mind
Sunburnt drinking lemonade
37 centigrade
Thanks for all the food you made
It must have taken half the day
Overworked and underpaid
All because of choices made
If Mercury’s in retrograde
Was this all a mistake?
Daylight saving time
It feels like I’m wasting my life and I’m losing my mind
I feel so strange and I don’t know why
Time and time and time and time again
Daylight saving time
It feels like I’m wasting my life and I’m losing my mind
I feel so strange and I don’t know why
Time and time and time and time again
You just wanted company
But I took everything
