Now… I’m gonna start now…
Now… it’s gonna happen now…
Now… I’m gonna start now…
Oh, now… it’s gonna happen now…
No more waiting around in my bed
No more lazing on the internet
I’m gonna do something else instead
Get out of here, you creepy head!
Not waiting for a better time
I’m gonna set the world to rhyme
Now
Now… I’m gonna start now…
Now… it’s gonna happen now…
Now… I’m gonna start now…
Now… it’s gonna happen now…
No more getting up way too late
No more slouching, stand up straight
Gonna decide one thing to make
Then make it, don’t procrastinate
Not waiting for them to call my name
I’m gonna set the world aflame
I’m gonna be the one to make that change
Yeah, yeah
Oh, now…
Oh yeah, I’m telling you, I mean it
I’m getting up every day at 6 am
I’m gonna get up by 7 am
Well, I’m gonna get up by 11 am
And I’m gonna write my songs
I’m gonna write my books
I’m gonna write everything
Right?
Right
Right now
I’m gonna start now
Now… it’s gonna happen now
Now… it’s gonna start now
Oh, now… it’s gonna happen now
No more scrolling through the night
No more feeding on kryptonite
Starting right here on the starting line
I’m gonna learn how to climb
I’m gonna be a superman
Watch me go, I know I can
I’m gonna learn how to fly
Oh, now

Better With You
02:53
|
|||
|
Get back in the car, we’re going out
I don’t care if they throw us both out
You’ve got my back & I’ve got your shoes
When I said I hate weddings I meant
I hate seeing the people who meant
something to me, mean something
to someone else
No I promise I won’t make a scene
I won’t throw my drink over the queen
I’ll show her that I’m better with you, oh yeah
It’s much better, better with you
It’s much better, better with you
It’s much better, better with you
& now we’re coming up to the part of the song
where we’re gonna find out what’s really going down
No I’m sorry I don’t wanna dance
It just hurts to know I missed my chance
She was the one I wanted you see
But… despite that… I’m gonna pretend
It’s much better, better with you
It’s much better, better with you
It’s much better, better with you
Better with you, better with you
Better with you, oh it’s better with you
Better better better better etc
Better better BETTER WITH YOU!

Hangover Song
03:25
|
|||
|
I’m very hungover today
I need someone to say
It’s fine for me to lay down in a heap
I’m quite dehydrated today
My brain’s in disarray
I can’t focus on anything
& I’m going to fall asleep
But I don’t care, no I don’t care
Because everything felt so good last night
And I’m OK, yes I’m OK
& the trees will all shield me from the light
I’m very hungover today
I need someone to say
I don’t need to do anything anymore
I’m feeling a little bit weak
My brain has gone to sleep
I might just slowly sink down
To the floor…
But I don’t care, no I don’t care
Because everything felt so good last night
And I’m OK, yes I’m OK
& the trees will all shield me from the light

Does She Mention Me
01:42
|
|||
|
Did she mention me when you were
in the park with her?
Did she mention me when you were
making art with her?
Did she mention things that I’m not sure if
I would like to hear?
Does she look away when you mention me
anymore?
& when I get the sign I’ll walk across
the capital to you, across the binary,
from palace in the north to south
I’ll find the way through
Does she look away when you tell her
that I look OK?
Does she turn away when you tell her
I’m probably not OK?
Would she turn my gaze if I saw her now?
Do you think I’m safe?
Could I see her now, could I be around
anymore?
& when I get the sign I’ll walk across
the capital to find a way
to new realities
from palace in the north to south
across the binary,
I’ll find my way through

Ghost
02:56
|
|||
|
Helpless like a cat stuck outside the window
Can’t unlatch the window, can’t detach from you
Hoping for a crack in your determination
To keep my observations shielded from your view
I’m out here sending signs
Scrawling on a postcard
Waving to the coastguard
I’ll wait for your dropped line
Staring at a grey wall
Don’t expect a phone call
Walking in the air, but there’s no air to walk on
Nothing to grab hold of, you’re still out of range
Hoping for a change, some reconciliation
Meet me on the station
The moon’s an empty page
I’m out here sending signs
Scrawling on a postcard
Waving to the coastguard
I’ll wait for your dropped line
Staring at a grey wall
Don’t expect a phone call

Free Food
03:14
|

This is a song about FREE FOOD
& it’s called… it’s called FREE FOOD
The rain is pouring down
So wear your teacup crown
Pour it into your soup
You won’t believe what you save
when you do it all this way
The cobwebs in the trees
are floating in the breeze
The spiders hide away
& the flies will be by
when it’s time to be their prey
Because the spiders, you see,
They don’t have to work for the man
They don’t have to work to get money to buy food from the man
No, the spiders, they ARE the man
They just take what they want
But you know, we could be like that too
When we’re walking along a parkland walk
With a punnet in our hand, collecting blackberries
To take home to make some jam
OK… let’s make some jam
Picking all the blackberries
Digging up the roots
I’m a born again freegan
With a sack full of loot
Free food! Free food! Free food!
Free food
This is a song about free food
But being a song, it’s not just about food
No, because this song, like many songs,
employs the use of metaphor
& in this song, perhaps food becomes a metaphor
for love.. because we all need food, right?
We need food, but we also need love
We need FREE… FOOD…
And FREE… LOVE…
One day when love comes around
She’ll rub my shoulders down
And soak my aching feet
What a steal when you feel
Someone you wanna be felt by
Yeah… oh yeah..
Let’s make some jam
One of these days
I’ll have it all on my plate
When everything’s free
Life will be so great
Free food! Free food! Free food! Free food!
Free food! Free food! Free food! Free food!
Free food

Mountain Top
02:58

I climbed up to the mountain top, oh yeah
The way was rough but my limbs were tough, oh yeah
I looked around at the land out there
& I knew I could go anywhere
oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
oh yeah
I feel asleep on the mountain top, oh yeah
I woke up as the sun came up, oh yeah
But down below, in the town below
My friend had kissed the girl I love
oh no oh no oh no
oh no oh no oh no
oh no
I came back down from the mountain top, oh yeah
I walked back to the parking lot, oh yeah
I got in the car, went back to town, met her in
a bar, he came round, the three of us just
looked at the ground and I said
oh no oh no oh no
oh no oh no oh no
oh no oh no oh no
oh no no no no no
no no no no no
no OH NO!

Not Your Number
03:14
|
|||
|
When I look at you again, I
see you in a different frame, I
see the way your eyes would hide
Before you walk away I dare you
climb into my room I dare you
climb up here and see through my eyes
And see all this spread before us
for I believed this would be an anchor for us
See what you’ve done and
tell me what you wanted
tell me something I don’t wanna know
I am not your number
can’t be your call for comfort
can’t be the one you claimed you wanted me to be
ooooooh ooooh
ooooooh ooooh
etc
Hey, you keep flying over
you hide in the window frame
Green lights that lead to nowhere
You’ll not lie here again
ooooooh ooooh
ooooooh ooooh
etc
You can’t hide your face here now
Look now

Accidie
03:57

|
slowing down
you hope
for the best
you’ll soon find time
for the things
you let slide
as the shadows
grow
as the moon
begins to climb
feel the ebb
of the tide
noon demon
pulls you under
away from all care
woe betide you for
slowing down
before your time
lassitude
is a crime
accidie, torpor,
lethargy
of silent time
quietly
life slips by
soon
you’ll know
how low
languorous
passivity
will
wind
your
blinds
down

A Scream
02:51
|
|||
|
a scream tries to force its way between
these walls of noise
I never wanted part of this, I never want to
fall in love with you!
But it’s all just noise
Yes it’s all just noise
Sometimes I need to scream & shout
to let my feelings out
There’s a knot so hazy tipsy queasy dizzy dreamy
In my heart
But it’s all just noise
Yes it’s all just noise
It’s all just noise (all just noise)
& it’s all just noise
you’re lost in the noise (lost in my noise)
yeah, yeah it’s you… aah…
You’re tangled like a frantic spider in my
web of hair
But when I try to pull you out it seems there’s
no-one there
No, because it’s all just noise
And you’re lost in my noise
You are the ache in the noise
It’s all… it’s all just NOISE
