1. BREACH OF THE PEACE
Stuck on your outskirts, nowhere to go
Put your head in the clouds because you know you love this weather
Time to remember somewhere she said
Through the lights and the rain - well you know it could get better
Disseminate the untold story
From the years laid out before me
Wherever you go there's no escape
'Til something inside begins to break
Whatever you do you can't relax
Virtuous lies spouted as facts
The things that you loved declared debased
So they could be knocked down and replaced
Whatever you say there's no release
Welcome to a new breach of the peace
North, South or West you cover your tracks
Know the old days are gone, oh but you won't forget them
Sing just one more song for another time
Baby they changed you, oh, but we all let them
Every inch of land is holy water
The obese felines give no quarter
Wherever you go there's no escape...
The modern lights they look so pretty
In your banal identikit city
Expel the culture, love and drama
Enjoy the vacuous panorama
Wherever you go there's no escape...

2. DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH
Always trying to kick back at me
A resonant sun on a tempestuous sea
Always dying to trip up the person you wanted to be
Paralysed on the rocks I felt the shingle run below me
A cache of fumes and royally wrecked, the gift of life bestowed me...
Climb away, climb away, climb away
Sweat it out, fade it away
Climb away, climb away, climb away
Sweat it out, fade it away
Always trying to shift the walls round
Some kind of feng-shui for the dead underground
Always dying to rip up that person demonstrably
Paralysed on the rocks I felt the shingle run below me
A cache of fumes and royally wrecked, the gift of life bestowed me...
Climb away...

3. DOORMATS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
Come together, all and sundry
Oh my lover, she went off me
I know her fears, but she knows my weaknesses
I don't push against the whirlpool
Just kinda freewheel on this cycle
Christ won't you let me concentrate on something...
Doormats of the world unite! Keep it simple, not too tight
All that recourse running down, my friends on Facebook rally round
I don't believe in digging deep, prefer to dream about next week
I live my life in such denial, it's worth it just to see her smile
I slide along my sliding scale
That tells me who you are
I grip the sheets and grit my teeth
The failure's quite bizarre
The flags are flying from the roof
I'm terrified of my own truth
I dig a hole and bury all the messages my brain received last night
Trial and trauma, sparse melody
So familiar, always haunts me
I took the stand, I got a shock, my bones were full of electricity
I never said that I was careful
But I don't need another skinful
Christ! Please just let me concentrate on something...
Doormats of the world unite! The bell's been rung - get back on site
The tunnel entrance falls on down, I aggravated some old ground
Blown too much smoke now, don't you think? -
So come on and buy me another fucking drink
Well, I ain't aggro, I ain't sin - just terrified I don't fit in
I slide along my sliding scale...

Come Back To Me

4. COME BACK TO ME
My only research is the things that I made
The people I spoke to, the price that I paid
The diamonds I love, all the roads I have taken
Full up with wonder, in love with fresh air
Caught in the moment, I just wish you were there
Too many people I've forsaken
Come back to me!
And I'll find the gold I should have paid you
Come back to me!
We're gonna find a truth that sticks
Run wild and free
Because the years have passed and I can't hear you
Come back to me, and they can call us lunatics
My only research is the blood that I bled
The days I arrived, and the times that I fled
Into the windswept beautiful weather
We queued in a circle, fell down in a line
Got to the gate, but didn't make it in time
I'll play you the old songs cos they're better
Come back to me...

5. CEASE & DESIST
Fetch me a drink
Red and odd and one to eighteen
Got time to think
The surroundings know just what I mean
I like the room
The magic kicks in, chains fall freely
Navvy in his suit he got a rage on
And I think I’m cool as the air-con
Sized up the well
You wouldn’t believe how deep it went down
I couldn’t tell
That every expression brought the same frown
Die long, de-rail
He thinks this thing was born in my mind
Tomorrow I’ll recite the story
You’ve no idea how much it bores me…
Cease and desist
Before you sign up to this loving family
Dragged by the wrists
I couldn’t believe just how she had me
Cease and desist
Before you sign up to this loving family
Dragged by the wrists
I couldn’t believe just how she had me
I couldn’t believe this solvent tragedy
Wasted and burned
But still the energy is fizzing
The numbers turn
These filthy notes show what I’m risking
You shut your mouth
My number’s in – gave me a lifeline
Chalk away the years with your old family
Hand me down to anyone who’ll have me
Sized up the truth
Far too heavy – couldn’t move it
I wanted proof
You forced my hand then you refused it
Thrown out the door
The new day loomed like something viral
Beat me up and tie me to the railings
You cleared your throat and told me all my failings…
Cease and desist...
Tomorrow’s duplicate is dawning
The repetition’s so appalling…
Cease and desist...

6. IN ASCENSION
Five years ago I promised you a song
Five years ago I could do no wrong
Now I'm older and I let myself go
There's something that I think I have to let you know
You're a star, you're a star and you're in ascension
You're a grade that my schooling failed to mention
You've got power in your eyes and a laugh from heaven
Oh, but you've also got one from hell
I'm sorry I was cold, I'm sorry I was hot
But I'll be here for you for just as long as I've got
This song ain't a message - hope you understand
It's just a kiss on the cheek, and a shake of your hand
You're a star...
This song is a compliment
This song is a bunch of flowers
This song's an apology
You're a star...

Five Favours Please

7. FIVE FAVOURS PLEASE
Don't think you're me
Don't think I'm you
Don't think you're anyone
Don't think I do
But the last favour I'd like, is the goddamn most important
So promise me you'll grant it, or I'll never know just why the hell I'm here
Don't think of time
Don't think life's fine
Don't think the world's bad
Don't let all the horrible stuff drive you mad
Oh, but what I'd really like is the thing I took for granted
So promise me you'll grant it, or I'll never know just why the hell I'm here
I covered up the silence, and I filled it all with love
I cast away the darkness and I almost got strung up

8. SOMETHING'S HAPPENING HERE
I've seen the road, girl, and it's smacked me in the face
I've seen the road, girl...
Standing at the factory gates
Waiting for the minibus
Heads are glowing in the crowd
Something's happening here
Sun is bright and rain looks green
What the hell's happening to us?
Turn around to check the clock
And then you disappear
Through the dust and the rain and the sky
I don't know why you're running
You just leave without saying goodbye
And I don't know why you're running...
Lying on my back again
Staring up into the night
Smells of earth and fallen leaves
Something's happening here
I dreamt that I just saw your face
Beamed through from a satellite
It suddenly starts pissing down
And then you disappear...
Through the dust...
I've seen the road, girl, and it's smacked me in the face
I've seen the road, girl
I've seen the road, girl, and it's still my favourite place
I love the road, girl
Through the dust...
