This is an instrumental, how do you not know that?
Unless you're reading these before you've heard the album,
in which case, aren't you an eager little bugger.
Since there's no lyrics, i'll tell you about it a bit.
I really like the chords on this track, augmenteds
and dimisheds, and there's a major 6th in there too.
Are you bored yet? By the time you'd have read this
the track is probably over, haven't you got something
better to do with your life than sit and read this?
Never mind. Thank you for reading all of this,
I must be such a fucking interesting person to you.

She's interested by your interests
And how futile be your day
Try to feign mystery
As truth escorts to shame
It's an impulsive impulse
that guides my actions
Here lies joy's timely pulse
(Her) attention's elswhere now as content turns to fear
You don't know what you have
Until it's long been sung
A friend of a friend
An eye for a lung
A word to my soul
Lend a hand to me girl
Help me to get up
and keep on living
and walking on
Bled dry of my art
Hide behind a face
Of pessimistic disgrace
In the name of all unholy
Resume again the chase
She's infected all my interests
and infested all my days
Then we fucked it up
and we've got only ourselves to blame
You don't know what you have
Until it's long been sung
A friend of a friend
An eye for a lung
A word to my soul
Lend a hand to me girl
Help me to get up
and keep on loving
and walking on
Is it all here?
I find myself making sure
That what i wanted's still as strong
So chase the drag onto the bed
You don't know what you have
Until it's long been sung
A friend of a friend
An eye for a lung
A word to my soul
Lend a hand to me girl
Help me to get up
and keep on living
and walking on
You don't know what you have
Until it's long been sung
A friend of a friend
An eye for a lung
A word to my soul
Lend a hand to me girl
Help me to get up
and keep on loving
and walking on
Don't want you leaving me girl just walk on
and keep on living, and walking on

Overtake the World
04:09

she says that she's lonely but then stares right through me
but only her charm
leaves me painting a verbal collage
She's always been placing her dreams in machines
so it seems that the dreams of my teens
would reduce hers to shards
life keeps passing her by
as i wait for the moment to show her that
I have more than meets the eye
I don't mind
you and i could overtake the world
we could have it all, free as a bird
not gonna ask
don't wanna know
it always ends
with me getting what I deserve
Overtake the world
If given the chance think i'd take her to france
But if she did indulge me we'd make it to hackney at best
Hypothetically i could be somebody else but my
speculative, suppositional, predispostition to overanalysis
isn't exactly one of my strong points
She keeps passing me by but
I don't mind
you and i could overtake the world
we could have it all, free as a bird
not gonna ask
don't wanna know
it always ends
with me getting what I deserve
Overtake the world
life keeps passing her by
as i wait for the moment to show her that
I have more than meets the eye
but i hide it behind timid eyes and a sigh
Life keeps passing her by
She's passing me by
you and i could overtake the world (if just for one day)
we could have it all, free as a bird (we'd fly, we could fly)
not gonna ask (don't wanna know)
not even once (i know the answer)
it always ends
with me getting what I deserve
Got what i deserved

Taking it lightly
Noone's in my tree
Focused anxiety
Looking for recovery
It's all i know
It's all i know
Wait to see how well that they have done
and they've done quite well
But what have they done?
and how will we tell?
Honestly I reckon time is friendly and will mend
She's only here to take my blues away
Time will only tell, hope that she bodes well
I can't understand, the feelings alien to me
and i have nothing but the facts to show
Like a rolling stone, wild to the bone
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Shopping for thin time
Who else is in line?
Moving like clockwork
Losing the words
It's for the best, it's for the best
Only want to see how they have done
And they've done quite well
But what have they done?
and why would they tell?
Honestly I reckon time is friendly and will mend
She's only here to take my blues away
Time will only tell, hope that she does well
I can't understand, the feelings alien to me
and i have nothing but the facts to show
Like a rolling stone, wild to the bone
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Taking it lightly
Focused anxiety
Noone's in my tree
Looking for recovery
Honestly I reckon time is friendly and will mend
She's only here to take my blues away
Open up my brain, demand that i be sane
I can't understand, the feelings alien to me
and i have nothing but the facts to show
Like a rolling stone, wild and alone
Take me down, take me down, take me down

Baby, don't you cry no more
Baby, don't want you crying no more
You don't have to shed one more tear over him
You don't have to cry oh babe let me in
Baby, we can't have you crying no more
But then you turn your face around and say you want me
and i know i'm just a rebound but i let it be
Baby, i want you more and more
Baby, everyday i just want you more
You don't have to say a word babe but you do
You don't have to speak i want nobody else but you
Baby, i need you more and more
But then you pack your bags, all ready to leave
and i realise it's cause i wanted you but you didn't need me
Oh well, oh well, oh well
But whether you're going or you're staying
well you'll always be on my mind girl
I'll be hoping i'll be praying
that you will always be mine
so i'll ask for forgiveness and i'll pray to shiva
i'll swear to lord Jesus that I'm a believer
but when I'm still lonely i realise
why I've been forsaken by the lord
It's 'cause there ain't no god
Baby, I don't feel a thing no more
Baby, I just don't feel a thing no more
You didn't have to do all of that now I've had enough
you didn't have to but you did
I kinda wanna laugh
Baby, there are dirty words that rhyme with 'more'
So I'll pretend that I'm stable until we next meet
but I'll never stop tapping my feet to that warbeat

White van man
Boris fan
Thinks he's smelling better after 3 lynx cans
Says he never says 'never' ever
eyes too close together
and you'd certainly consider him a football man
oh but he loves russell howard
not concerned about his debt
cause he's just got himself tatooed 2 of his last 3 pets
Binging
cider
lad jokes
fat blokes
He puts perfume on his food
to make sure his wife's sufficiently wooed
there's nothing he would rather be though
proud to be a cunt
there's nothing he would rather be though
takes his tea with a drop of vino
he's part of the modern scene though
where does that put you and me though
what sort of a worthless bloke
is proud to be a cunt

We need to get down quick but freefalling in the lift
looking for the girl, moving down the escalator
collect the paper bag spray, discretely walking into the shop
we have the secret but ran out of fuel
ruling the world with a not around my finger
but losing circulation, the enemy is suspicious
when they hear some rustling
but the witness won't talk sense, slighly i disappear
and flash past on a segway dressed and Doc Reid
clawing through the walls, a genius escape
i never found the girl, singing, singing, singing, singing
I'm ruling the world with a knot on my finger

Of all the lucky throws, I gambled and I won,
Four aces and a ten out of ten
Shook the dice and prayed, and got a pair
but they fell off the tables end
Of all the other stars, yours is the only one that shines,
The only one i can bare to see
Close your eyes and count to ten,
You almost lost another friend
I got a one track mind, and i can't drive far
My tunnel vision is blurred, we're in a crashing car
We got so much in common, we both revolve around you
You really know how i feel, i haven't got a fucking clue
Cause i'm so much better now, and i'm so much better anyhow
and i'm so much better than i sound
so let's drop to a minor key, to demonstrate my musical apathy
cause i rely on you, to bring me down
I've been murdering again, i've been killing so much time
You know you're busy, so busy
When you can't make plans with time
I'm sure i'll see you again in relevant times and shit bars
but it don't quite feel the same singing ooh la la la
Cause i'm so much better now, and i'm so much better anyhow
and i'm so much better than i sound
so let's drop to a minor key, to symbolise my musical ADHD
cause i rely on you, to break me down
Of all the games to lose, i stumbled and i fell
got up and then fell over again
What a careless end, i tried too hard and then i lost a friend

Hey diddle diddle can i buy you a drink
You know it's half price at Bertie's, so what do you think
Of me and you, it's love at last
let's go out for a walk and watch the stars
Diddle diddle, I love your hair
and the way you pull a pint is so unfair
cause it really means that much to me
Hey diddle diddle, i love your soul
Take my hand, let's go out for a stroll
I love the way you walk
Although i've never heard you talk
In english
I wish you were here, to pour me one last pint of ice cold beer
Can't you see it means that much to me
Cause it's
Alright, it's alright yeah
it's alright, it's alright yeah
it's alright, it's alright to me
Hey diddle diddle, d'you believe in love at first sight?
I know i do, i've seen it in your eyes
i've seen it in your eyes
Cause when it's
Alright, it's alright yeah
and it's alright, it's alright yeah
cause it's alright, but is it alright to you?
Hey diddle diddle, d'you like that name?
If not it's fine but it's a crying shame
cause you really mean that much to me
cause you really do mean that much to me

Let's Call It a Day
04:55

what a funny scenario we've found ourselves in
there's really no malace but neither's too keen
let's not waste time wasting time thinking about
what could or what could not have been
Let's call it a day
You know i'm not the best talker
So we'll meet for a drink but
You know that i never know what to say
I know that i can be boring
I know that i can't sing
and I know that you're perfect in every way
Let's call it a day,
before it's too late
Your arrogance and self esteem
aren't quite as compatible as they might seem
So I'm cast aside for someone new
Everything i did was all for you
Oh sing me something new
Break my mind in two / for you
I'm hoping for daylight
But clouds are emerging
I can only be all that i can be
This could be disatrastrous
Us missing the last bus
I guess we'll just have to wait and see
Let's call it a day
Why oh why
D'you like breaking me down
Who
Is the next in line
To face the devil herself
I could care less but couldn't care more
Couldn't care more
The lies just don't engage me
The way that they used to
God knows i tried everything that i could
So unprepared for the fall
Making me feel like a fool
For you I hope that it feels good
Does that feel good?
I'm just a problem, you're a saint
From little to something to nothing today
Already onto the next one ain't that quiant
It's sinking my stomach stay away
Just for one day
Come this far but turned the wrong way
Nothing more to say
but
Why oh why
D'you like breaking me down
Who
Is the next in line
To face the devil herself
I oh I
Quite like breaking you down
You
Are the next in line
To face the devil himself
I could care less but couldn't care more
What's it all for?
Couldn't care more
Your arrogance and self esteem
Ain't quite as compatible as they might seem
So cast me aside for someone new
All i ever did was fall for you

Beauty

There's a place that rests between the seas
It's just a fading memory now, getting harder to see
I've only been there once, it was the first and the last
I think of it sometimes when i look up to the stars
Cause beauty's such a weak word
Not strong enough to fit the show
Like the wingspan of a mockingbird
Beauty spreads it's wings in this place i know
There's a girl I knew, her eye's so fair
She knew me too and at eachother we'd stare
The sound of her laugh almost stopped my heart
A broken fairytale in a lovetorn bar
In summer we found love in the shade
The bar it's gone now, so the memory it fades
These memories they are precious and they are mine
But it does no good looking back in time
See i'd look to tomorrow look to laughter and fun
But i've forgotten how to laugh, and tomorrow never comes
"I don't really mind" is what i'll say
and i'll keep looking forward now to brighter days
Cause nostalgia is a harlet
Parts of me i don't wish to show
Full of mistakes i've made and things i regret
and just like the wingspan of a mockingbird
Beauty's just a memory, one i'll never know

----------------HEY (PART 1)----------------
Hey thinker aren't you clever
Putting all your frustration in song
Hey you it's no longer never
I'm just happy that you came along
Hoping it won't be too long
-----------------HERE I AM------------------
Here i am, opening locked doors again
For the last time
Bending sound, get it out till we meet again
In the sun shine
In Time
----------------HEY (PART 2)----------------
Hey bulldog it's a landslide
Let me pluck you out of my head
Hey darling i'm on your side
And i'm happy for you now instead
----------------WAIT, WOAH------------------
Wait wait wait wait wait wait
It's all too soon again
All this time I'd let it go
Just for one month's pay
Woah woah woah woah woah woah
Ohhh tell me a lie
So i can break down again
And free the courage from the shy
And it's a common side, so come on inside
We can keep the demons away
It wasn't what we hoped for
but it NEVER is, it NEVER was
"what a cynical thing to say..."
So don't let me down, don't let me out of my head
--------------Someone Like You--------------
Help, I need somebody
Help, I need anybody
Help, you know i need someone like you
I need you
