3 boat rendezvous
Sub-moonlight serenade Respect is due to you For coming all this way When the consensus was to wait and see There's so much music that isn't free And I wish that we could make it disappear Shut some record companies down Run some bands out of town Shed light on a corporate situation Consensus rock on the air Using up all the electricity And leaving us feeling empty Float down boats of wood and metal In the same direction on the same river Sooner or later they'll arrive together I know it won't let us down But sometimes we've had to take a long way round To a coolport, coolport Sooner or later we'll arrive together Coolport, coolport Sooner or later we'll arrive together Coolport |

Sticky melons juices flow
Cycle paths broken glass Where did all our summers go? Boarded-up bars Dull neon stars A logging lorry lost its way Guided by your sweet allure Tender tasting wanting more Only me that knows your there Don't sit in that empty chair Where do melted icebergs go? Barbon-dating beating time Electric cars Clashes on Mars Charm me with your hostess calm Lonely ripples wash the shore Lazy on the beat and sigh Promises on tips of tongues Make a place that no one knows Trickle sands between our toe Unlearn what we think we know Shield your eyes Wishful sighs The yellow sign says follow me |

Penny parade, exotic Arcade
Swimming pool mansion A family disgrace Jack pot queen, slot machine I don't want on But I do want on What have you got? Tell me you're feeling so hot 'Cause I bet you anything you've got That you will lose it And I will lose it Swimstar queen, I am outside your scene And I don't want in But I do want in What can I win? Show me how to swim for the prize When the prize is in your eyes Everything I am is covered in you You're my eyes for seeing through Every mirror reverses through Everything I see is you I'm fake king, I'm faking I am king to the queen of the pool There's no rules, king of the fools King of the worst, king of the cursed King of the frown, upside down crown King until sundown |

Everyone should have a friend
To share your life and your heart It's not all you need But you would bleed for them Everyone gets hurt, everyone gets stuck Everyone should have a friend To lead and to follow To open up to and to lose control Someone to explore The north pole, south pole Exploration team Soft core hard core Polar extreme And we'll be lost And we'll be found And we'll be bound To the friendship that we found |

My happiest memories are Mexico
When you didn't have to go Why are you so far away? Sleep down, sleep down, sleep and stay How much gold is in a ton of dirt? One whole dollar worth And if we meet just one time in the year Does that make me more or less dear? I don't want you always just my guest Wrap in my Mexican blanket and rest You are so sweet to love But we're never never really together You're my one the only dear to me A thousand miles across the sea You're not here, I'm not there We're apart and I'm lonely Let's do some truthful talking Cause I'm getting tired of walking nowhere; This framework doesn't work Kick the dragon, nothing else I'm fired up truck You're not here, I'm not there We're apart |

Mechanised
No-one's inside There's no keeper So your paint in stripes Flakes softly To the ground Send your beam To float the sea With your comrades In the night you're not So lonesome as the day |

Take your shoes off
Step this way To the waterfall and back Catch your breath Along the way Watching insects Inch their way And when the day Is done We'll ride in to The milky sun Both of us here A whim the air is all Drawing circles Venture softly We're there In a moment There'll be moments To share Looking from your Dark window Do you miss the city flow? Sometimes at night A swim a whim cath fire Press your face Against the glass Soon a hundred years Will pass Open the door Make up for times missing Found a need I never knew I can't imagine Passing through Both of us here And your unknowing smile Unrolling unknowning We're there In a moment There'll be moments To share |

Rough riders in button downs
When they smiled it was sincere And they frowned Outsider european school To me that's cool and absolute Were they closer to the truth? The concept is so loose But when I think of them I think of you I'm always in the world with you From a friend to a friend Look into my camera lens See how the picture bends If every moment That defined our lives Was signaled with a single harbour light The colour flurry Could not hurry The timelessness I feel When we're together No blind to these Shoddy shoddy times I just want to linger In those lights Cause when I see them I think of think of you I'm always in the world with you From a friend to a friend Look into my camera lens See how the picture bends From a friend to a friend Does a journey ever end? And what did we intend? Are we leaving Or arriving? |

Scratch out the negative
'Till I don't know what it is I'm seeing And when history starts disappearing Then it's time for some forgetting And I'm good at forgetting you know And we should have said goodbye A long time ago There was no crime committed There was a band that split And they were so remote That no-one even noticed And they were good at forgetting you know And they should have said goodbye A long time ago Is there always a ghost I should remember? Is there always a heart I can't unsever? Are there no new songs to be learnt? Cause if there's not, I'd say the idea's been spent |

We could drive there
Arrive there Be alive there But your truck's broke down You're nowhere bound Will never leave this town But if it won't be you It probably won't be me We capered, burnt a Candle to the taper Tonight we'll swim In the river Kiss and shiver Were we ever inspired Just for a moment Or is this our life? Slackness in The blackness If that's the way we are No tricks, no coins No stars We need to stray And find a gateway Lifelong Feeling we're wrong To still be Hanging around Our old hunting ground We could go far Thanking our stars That the viaduct Broke Or we'd never have spoken By now Can't you see i'm Trying to tell you We've paid our dues |

Rug is keen and seaweed queen
My eyes are green my mind's serene Recommend it hurry and send it This is day twenty-eight Now I've started token collecting Firth descending hearts for mending Shell hoards and gold loads Downward looking flower Every hour there's a sky Unearth the sea discover me Your mind is clear your life is real Serpentine shaped shallow mine A liquid pool a secret sign Now I've started token collecting Firth descending hearts for mending Shell hoards and gold loads Thanking without asking Hopes are banking on your climb |

Truth shimmers like palaces in the sun
And your inventions will never be too far flung Imagination's worthwhile taking And gravitation, cause I don't want you to fall I'll surprise you Gliding through I'll surprise you Unbounded by languor or longitude Everywhere is the centre of someone's world Panorama getting calmer Senses warmer I don't want us to fall We'll be true Never blue We'll be true |

It might not last
So we're gonna record everything Trip the power on And we'll set up our equipment And we'll be there for that moment When our world is transformed from night to dawn It's an outside chance That the light will be reflected And our lives will be connected In the same sphere, as we glance each other's eyes Open up the mic 'Cos we're gonna record everything This is a moving part This is a big idea, just waiting to spark Clank out those random parts A kinetic freedom's reaching Between the earth and the stars There'll be magic errors meeting |
