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 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

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

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...

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 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...)
