TURN ME

Turn me into a grey, grey morning
We’re so gloomy

Oh there’s no time

DIAGONAL

Even if I could take you away with me
Would I get out of this town?
I don’t know now if there’s something I’ll get out of this town

Summer sounds and the wind through my woolen clothes
When I get out and about
Round and around if there’s something I’ll get out of this town
Ooh-ooh
I don’t know now if there’s something I’ll get out of this town

Tell me, there’re shoes hanging on the line
An hour to wet, a day to dry
We walk on a diagonal

Da-da-da-da and the lanes lead to everything
Will we be caught underground?
I don’t know now if there’s something I’ll get out of this town
Ooh-ooh
I don’t know now if there’s something I’ll get out of this town

OVER SOON

I can’t believe the summer will be over soon
I need the time to navigate my house
There’s something funny looking about my cat
He hasn’t been the same these holidays
Someone put it on when it got cooler

There’s still one window that lets in the summer sun
We’ll keep this square until it returns again

PINE CONE

On the day they found a way to separate the shell
I’d like to hear you sing again
You ended up with injuries from things that way a tonne
I’d like to hear you sing again

Closed up like a pine cone
You will lie there on your own

BACKWARDS

Why do you always look so sad?
Cos I am, cos I am
Well you know it isn’t all that bad
It’s a sham, it’s a sham
And it’s only when I look backwards
That I see where I’m going and don’t really like the way

Why do you always get so mad?
Cos I can, cos I can
Well you know you’re not all that bad
Yes I am, yes I am
And it’s only when I look backwards
That I see where I’m going and don’t really like the way

DOTS

You’re not the same
Without the dots above your name

Let’s fly away
Maybe it’s all we need to say

You went to dinner and a show
What did I do? Well, I don’t know

I’m not the same
Since I forgot the aim of the game

Let’s go astray
But we’ll leave strings tied along the way

You went outside and made things grow
What did I do? Well, I don’t know

JOUR DE FE^TE

I had a dream involving you
It broke my state of solitude
We were at the Asian grocery for the most part
We bought some different icy-poles
We must have looked like 5 year-olds
And bars for our well-being, on the way, on the way

But I don’t know why
A piece of the sky
Was blue when the rest was grey

I caught the bus one Saturday
Got off and walked the other way
I got lost in the rain for a while, for a while
We tried to listen carefully
But she arrived amusingly
But that was when we lived far away, far away

And I don’t know why
A piece of the sky
Was blue when the rest was grey

And I don’t know why
A piece of the sky
Was blue when the rest was grey

ENVELOPES

You take envelopes I collect like a bower bird
Yesterday I couldn’t find your fit, now you won’t say a word
What was I hoping for when I opened that drawer?

Why don’t you tell me a story so I can see in your head?
Help me fill in all the things you were thinking but never said
How can I understand till you open your hand?

SECRET ADDRESS

How can you be so lovely?
Was it a trick you learnt in the playground?
Or maybe it’s a secret address
But I’ll never guess

The spots and the stripes are nothing
Cos I don’t need them when I’ve got all your circles
And your squares to fill my head all the time

Sometimes I hear you under the floorboards
My dreams relate to the sound ooh-ooh
Apparantly I talk in my sleep
Explains why I’m hopeless the rest of the time

Sometimes I hear you under the floorboards
My dreams relate to the sound ooh-ooh
Apparantly I talk in my sleep
Explains why I’m hopeless the rest of the time

REMIND ME

You remind me of a bird
Just like a song I heard
To wake me up each day
And try as I might to devise
My heaviest of sighs
There’s something in the way
We’re starting to look the same

HOURS & DAYS

It was just a matter of words, pairs of eyes we can’t quite rely on
Hours and days that go

Yesterday you left for a while, and I just can’t face anything
But hours and days that go

Don’t fret, don’t forget, time is on your side
Don’t fret, don’t forget, time is on your side

EVERY WAY

Saw you there, all alone with no one to love you
Oh, you were perfect in every way, you were perfect in every way
The wind blew cold, and it told me that we were meant to be
Oh you’re perfect in every way, you are perfect in every way
I’m so glad of the simple way you appeal to me
You are perfect in every way, you are perfect in every way

SAY WE ARE

A shadow is but a fear
To disappear
It’s following right behind
In perfect line
Between what you’re saying and what you can hear
The wind that is blowing the leaves year to year
To bring them home

Why do we say we are
When we’re not really hurt at all?
Will it be easier
Being together when we’re so cold?

SLEEPING AWAY

I woke today
While running out of time away
A happy ending finally

I have to say
You’ve turned around a useless day
By listening to something new

RACES

Is there a place where we can fall behind?
With all the things that could be done tomorrow
And you don’t have to ask me if I mind
With all these hearts here waiting to be followed

That sound advice will surely take you places
But we should think twice about why we are running these races

SET OF WHEELS

Yeah, it doesn’t really matter if it doesn’t work
I think we would be better with a change in weather
Tie our legs together and replace them with a set of wheels

Pretend to read between the lines of your corrected work
The blue is overrun but there is so much red
I think it’s time for bed cos I can see a wall that isn’t there

The lines are really very small
And no one really understands at all
Yeah no one really understands at all
So move your bed so you don’t hit the wall

Celebrate a failure
Make it a conversation starter

STARS

I keep an eye on how the stars above your head are
They disappear sometimes
Tonight it’s kind of clear
And they’ve never looked much better
It’s all that I could find

YESTERDAY

In this glow
I will remember yesterday
Now I don’t really trust my eyes or feel any surprise

In this glow
People discover lots of things
Like the worth of a single day that’s not floating away

Quiet makes me think of someone distant
Noise makes me think of things that I fear
Quite makes me feel so innefficient
Noise makes me think of somebody dear

Did you know
I can’t remember yesterday?
Now I can’t really trust my eyes or feel any surprise
Did you know
We nearly missed a lot of things?
Like the worth of a single day that’s not floating away

Quiet makes me think of someone distant
Noise makes me think of things that I fear
Quite makes me feel so innefficient
Noise makes me think of somebody dear

THE SONG THAT MADE YOU SAD

At least you’ve come this far
Without a thought of who you are

The song that made you sad
Is built upon a dream you had

BY MY SIDE

You’ve been here, always by my side
But I have to leave this side, though it breaks my heart
But I have to

You’ll be here, always by my side when I need you
I hope I get to feel this way
For somebody someday
