Destiny
03:39

He stands alone with a bucket and spade
His life’s a mess and there’s sand in his brain (life’s a mess in his brain). Who’s you gonna be when you wake up this morning,
Lord of the manor or a broke beggar crawling?
Chorus:
Chuffing and spitting a grit grain horn
He thinks he’s original but he hears no encore.
Sometimes I wonder if he’ll be free
But they were just a lyin’ about his Destiny!
Tie your boat up at the end of the line.
Its fine if you’re breathing, but I see you’ve gone blind
(Sky’s breathing, sea’s fine).
Grey tarpaulin in torrential rain,
Tied in a tug knot and set up in vain.
Chorus
I sometimes wonder if I’ll be free,
Or living alone here in ecstasy.
I didn’t want it, I didn’t need it in my life.
Well can’t you see I am afraid and alone?
It’s not the end (no it’s a), it’s not the end (no it’s a),
It’s not the end for me! Me, Me, Me, Yeah!
Chorus

When He Is Borne
02:02
|

When he is born all will stand and rejoice
His feet are small he can’t walk very far
When she is born all will stand and rejoice
I don’t mind who I get, it’s all fine
It’s all fine, It’s all fine
When you’re lost and behind

Yo Mama
03:49
|
|||
Your mama tells you things,
But you don’t wanna listen
Well I could be like everyone,
Following the path that takes me home
Directed by maternal fear,
Pleasure in a clip around my ear
It ain’t easy being someone that you’re not
I’ll make my mind up if I could
Just see you one more time
Your Papa tells you things but you don’t wanna listen
Well I could be like everyone
Making all decisions crystal clear
Instructed by paternal fear
Resemblance is far too clear

Waiting For My Baby
04:28
|
|||
Ahh, Buh, Cuh, Duh, Eh, Fuh, Guh, Huh,
Ih, Juh, Kuh, Luh, Muh
Do you have the time of day
I’m just waiting for my baby
She takes her time but I don’t mind
I’m just waiting for my baby
Do you ever think it would happen to you
That she’d walk right in to your life
Did you ever think it should happen for you
And to believe all the world’s written down
I’ve fixed my mind but I’m out of time
I’m still waiting for my baby
I have no one to accompany me,
I’m just waiting for my baby

Moving a Box Around
05:16
|
|||
Where did that feeling go?
Did it escape through the cracks in the walls
Or in to other worlds?
Finally turning the lid on the jar on the shelf
Moving a box around
Can I get in?
Can I get in that box?
Dragging that load around
Dragging that horse around
It’s making me thin
It’s making me really thin
Ooh wah ooh
Old spinner you’re making me blue
Side’s skating, it won’t play through
Footsteps of ghosts made by mice
Coming closer standing right behind you
As you clean layers of dirt from the stairs
Creeping, Creeping,
Ooh wah ooh
Moving a box around
Moving a box around
Rusting away on the reel
Slowing down
Moving a box around...

Croona Lumbago

|

We sit alone in a bar in town
Watching for the night to drown us in
Waves of people come crashing by
Watching for the night to drown us in
And did you ask me for a light
Or did we drift out in the sea
Where I am isn’t always where I’d like to be
Down by the sea
Coral reef, coral reef, follow me
And lay your head down by the sea
Cold on your skin next to me
Wishing to breathe the ocean spray
And to stay...
Am I mistaken?
How could this beauty be real?

Distortion Brenda
03:34
|

Distortion Brenda was an ice cream vendor
She lived at the bottom of the hill
Her make-up was smudged but she’d never budge
Yeah that’s true
Wah wah wah wah
Distortion Brenda had a damaged fender
But she wouldn't care when she took to the road
Her car was a mess but she’d never confess
Yeah that’s true
Wah wah wah wah
”Well, with no one to care for at all”
Yes, it’s true
Wah wah wah wah
Distortion Brenda was an ice cream vendor
She lived at the bottom of the hill...
Distortion Brenda had a hidden agenda
She finally came out to speak
She said “I’m feeling rather sad about the recent loss of my dad”
Yes that’s true
It’s true

Far Far Away
04:53
|
|||
Far far away, I left a light on by the sink
I did not think (He did not think)
Think to yourself and then you’ll turn and turn it off
Think to yourself, you will return and turn it off
At the end of the day you know their door is always shut!
It’s never clear if light is glowing or it’s not
Far Far away
I don’t know why he would come home
(It’s never clear if it is on)
I don’t know why he would come home
(My door is always shut, it’s yours that...)
