Glass Jars 04:24
Glass Jars Don’t you ever wonder? Don’t it cross your mind? If there might not be some part of us, somehow That gets left behind? Pressed against some cyclone fence Weeds all through the beds Some thought lost, caught in Atlantis - Self Storage sheds Ordered in aisles All locked up in Grids the days are like jars With holes punched in the lids Oh my love The circuitry is so well hid We lower our eyes Without realising it There’s a bottleneck of serpents That wasn’t there before You say one thing and seem to mean A whole lot more I can feel it in the pauses The advance of designs You got your uniform And baby I got mine Ordered in aisles All locked up in Grids the days are like jars With holes punched in the lids Oh my love The circuitry is so well hid We lower our eyes Without realising it Barrelling down the line, handles rock like masks dropped for oxygen I blink my eyes - and oh, here we go again Ordered in aisles All locked up in Grids the days are like jars With holes punched in the lids Oh my love The circuitry is so well hid We lower our eyes Without realising it

Runaway 04:16
Runaway Ooh baby let’s runaway Runaway with me I swear they won’t find us I promise you’ll see Somewhere out across the night over oceans and seas Somewhere where our tangled knot it could finally slip free Somewhere where the rivers run Where they dance in their dreams Somewhere where the greedy reach Of this world’s never been Ooh baby let’s runaway Runaway with me I swear they won’t find us I promise you’ll see Outside smoking cigarettes On the crates by the stairs The waiters caught our stand off And went back to stack chairs And night after night Trains are screaming like Eels - Press suburban dreams Underneath dark wheels Ooh baby let’s runaway Runaway with me I swear they won’t find us I promise you’ll see Maybe things didn’t turn out Like the way we had planned I know it had been building up for so long it’s sad it had to come out that way it’s sad it had to come out that way

Plimsoll Grove A clear morning Like any other Crisp, breathless Bombardier blue we were headed nowhere special then on the radio came a song And I thought about his arms Like they were reaching Through sleeves of time And I thought about his eyes And the way they used to smile Oh - How could I know it would churn me so The world out the windscreen slowed I just stared - That song on the radio Oh it drove Oh it drove Me back to Plimsoll Grove You know I always loved the way You’d drop your clothes to the floor With such casual ceremony And when I said I loved you it was true That much was true And now so If you say there’s no future For us - don’t even get in touch If you wanna cut it off Well if that’s the way that its got to be Well then that's how it will be Oh - How could I know it would churn me so The world out the windscreen slowed I just stared - That song on the radio Oh it drove Oh it drove Me back to Plimsoll Grove

Barbarossa 04:11
Barbarossa Wired - a riot - Almost 4:19 Baskets of vipers - I know just what it means Cold premonition I know I cannot leave Or outrun this feeling Stealing over me Where I go - It follows Where I go - It follows I recognise it Sure as I inhale Try to ignore it - But to no avail Your love - bearing down Certain to prevail Like some Barbarossa Pressing with full sail Where I go - you follow Where I go - you follow And then when I surrender My head to dreams I only fall into your arms again Dead Calm. Not a single Breath of wind for weeks Tearing the colour All out of my cheeks Inside my head Its beating like a drum Pounding - Blood Music Rum pah rum pah rum Ooh babe - you’re grinning Like a ragged row of ships A looking glass love It rankles and it whips Guns nestled in the mist Riding on the rail Like some Barbarossa Pressing with full sail Where I go - It follows Where I go - It follows

Thought We Turned A Corner Thought we turned a corner babe I really believed it Had the whole world in front of us - oh! Three apples on a silver tray Got to thinking we’d be alright Troubles wouldn’t find us no more.. Spent whole afternoons honey Organising all my drawers But here you are again Bringing salt for my wounds A deadly nightshade baby Arms like vines for a tomb That evening in the foyer babe Well was that really you? Diamonds swallowed diamonds honey Voices bounced across the room Ran a finger ‘cross the deerskin hide - oh Pressed my glove against your nose Then you slowly shook your head babe And the elevator doors slid closed But here you are again Bringing salt for my wounds A deadly nightshade baby Arms like vines for a tomb So come on and do something - Cos this ain’t love - this ain’t loving It’s not enough - what you’re giving This ain’t love - no this ain’t loving Decorated days in front of us oh! Now what am I supposed to do? Your feet don’t know which way they’re pointed And I’m left lacing up your shoes Ooh your magic carpet ride honey - Unravelling thread by thread I thought we turned a corner baby You know I really did

Leftover Prayers Ooh I feel like I’m coming apart There’s a hole where there should be a heart And it grows And grows Like a sleepwalker lost on a road I can’t tell you just where I go I don’t know I don’t know Baby I’ve been covering the cracks Oh but darling what’s the use in that? Its a poison to my own ear I end up saying just what you want to hear And it shows It shows And when you sniffed at the edge of the park ‘Music’s for those still afraid of the dark’ Well I froze I just froze Baby I’ve been covering the cracks oh but darling what’s the use in that? there’s a fork in the road there’s a knife in my side the world rolls into each new day But all - I feel - Is free fall I’ve been trying to see it your way But if you got any last words to say Say them Say them Leave a rose at the foot of the stairs If you got any leftover prayers Pray them Pray them Baby I’ve been covering the cracks oh but darling what’s the use in that?
