Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly

There was a one bedroom flat at the top of the road
With fresh running water and a built-in commode
And there were kids on their porches with fags lit like torches
I though this will do for me

So we crammed in the back dancing ten to the foot
As the smoke filled the air we were misunderstood
And the beats kept dropping the foundations like bombs
Oh we knew that it couldn't be long

And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody got out alive
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody's doing fine
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody got out alive
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody's doing fine

There was a five bedroom house by the foot of the field
With a well-mannered dweller quite substantial in build
And there were barb wire fences and piles of expenses
And Lawns mown impressively

As they sat in the back and they started to eat
Raise a glass to the host and his prosperity
Though the corks kept popping and they struck up the band
The foundations seemed sunk in the sand

And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody got out alive
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody's doing fine
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody got out alive
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody's doing fine


And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody got out alive
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody's doing fine
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody got out alive
And though the building collapsed with the night
Everybody's doing fine

> After shows all the time, meet the band, do a line
Hotel room, double bed, empty sex and then regret
Kiss and tell, *I'll* tell a friend, so and so would like to spend
*More* time in my company, thinks he could fall in love with me.
And I'm sorry and I hope you don't mind,
It's just it's getting late and I'm feeling tired
And I've got better things to do tonight
Than cultivate your vacuous desires
Three days later there's no texts,
*What* the hell did you expect
He's only in it for himself
For the money for the wealth
A shallow kiss to fill a void
A broken heart a lonely boy,
You took advantage of his pain
*Took* his dignity for fame
And I'm sorry and I hope you don't mind,
It's just it's getting late and I'm feeling tired
And I've got better things to do tonight
Than cultivate your vacuous desires.

> What if I could run, what if I could hide away
From all the things I've done, would I start it all again?
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all if I bide my time
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all but I wanted more
And through all the great things I've seen
I couldn't live with just a dream,
but it was more than just a dream
It seems we always fight against the things that lead us on
We always take a bite of the apple that will seed our fall
And you could see it all, you could see it all
But that's not what you need
I've seen it all, I've seen it all in pathetic falacies
And although there's great things to see
We get struck in our hypocrisy and we'll revel in our greed
What if I could dive, what if I could see the ocean floor
What if I could fly, what if I could spread my wings and soar
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all but I took my time
I could've seen it all
I could've seen it all but I wanted more
And through all the great things I've seen,
human nature took the best of it for me
Yeah you took the best for me
I Could've seen it all (repeat to fade)

We make lists, we make plans
To write books, to form bands
Or to move to Kreuzburg
And escape into the night

So pack your bags and let's take control
You and me, let's go
The next time that you're lonely
Or the next time that you're free

So why? So why? So why?
If we can make the plans
Can we just not find the time?

Don't get me wrong I know it's hard
And the good things never last
And yet theres no point in waiting
For a miracle to save your life

You took the time to find what's real
And amongst the baggage that you feel
Is holding you back, the demons cast aside

So why? So why? So why?
If we can make the plans
Can we just not find the time?

Safe way is not, the safe way is not
The way to live your life
Your light is beautiful, don't let the daydreams die
Don't let the daydreams die

So why? So why? So why?
If we can make the plans
Can we just not find the time?

So why? So why?
If we can make the plans
Can we just not find the time?

You just sit there in silence whilst the world cries out in vain
On the television screens and the newspaper headlines we read today
There's a war going on in the Middle East and the fallout
Affects us all, but nobody out there's prepared to talk

There's a war going on on our own front door step
With the Jews and Islam-aphoebes
Because every time a bomb goes off we get religious probes
There will always be extremists acting in their names of God
But the Gods they worship will never hear them call

I could build you a tower, I could set you apart
From all the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart
I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down

There's an 8 year old boy in Lebanon with a rifle in his hands
His parents betray his innocence as he's old enough to be a man
As a teenage boy in Columbine fires automatic rounds
Into the hordes of students as bodies hit the ground

The waters rise to enormous heights off the coast of North Korea
With all the weapons testing our worlds investing in nuclear fear
I'm counting down the days until this earth destroys itself
Through our ignorance, gluttony and wealth

I could build you a tower, I could set you apart
From all the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart
I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down

Stuck in reflections, it's getting late
Same hopes and fears we can all relate to
Some speak in riddlesm, I speak in rhyme
Making decisions out of time

This tourniquet tries to restrict the flow
Of all the truths that you should know
My acid tongue and your sense of wit
Don't let society restrict

A quick verse for the underrated
Don't let the pressures get you down
Keep singing out, keep singing loud

A quick verse for the underrated
Don't let the pressures get you down
Keep singing out, keep singing loud

Stuck in reflections, it's getting late
Same hopes and fears, we can all relate to
Some speak in riddles, you speak the truth
Even if it's not getting through

A quick verse for the underrated
Don't let the pressures get you down
Keep singing out, keep singing loud

A quick verse for the underrated
Don't let the pressures get you down
Keep singing out, keep singing loud

> You know it comes to a time when you realise
All the things around you have changed
Like the needles that fall from the Christmas tree
And all the thoughts that you've lost
that you thought you'd saved
We always sit there in silence
waiting for things that we couldn't change.
Do you remember looking out at the garden,
Making notes as the leaves start to fall
There's something special about the changing of season,
the bull rushes shake and the wind doth call
it's calling your name
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
If you only do one thing this year, take this advice
Pack your bags and son and keep running
as it doesn't happen twice
Dust yourself off as you fall down on the way,
as all the time spent will be worth it come that day
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
Let the journey begin
You know it comes to a time when you realise
All the people around you have changed
Like the friendships that turn to acquaintances
All the friends that you lost that you thought you'd made
We always sit there in silence waiting for things that we couldn't change
Do you remember looking out at the garden,
Making notes as the leaves start to fall
There's something special about the changing of season,
the bull rushes shake and the wind doth call
it's calling your name
Let the journey begin
Chorus repeat

I'm wide, I'm wide awake at night
And my mind's preoccupied and the silence won't reside
Or resolve the feelings that exist
Because it's easy to dismiss and it's harder to get heard

And I wish that I was stronger than the people that you meet
And I wish that you were lost without me
And though the more I think about it the easier it seems
I'll just be fine, so here's to moving forward

Were we made as corresponding shapes?
Our two pieces tessellate, were we designed to fit as one?
And it's with patience that I wait
As these romantic notions take my dignity and tact

And I wish that I was stronger than the people that you meet
And I wish that you were lost without me
And though the more I think about it the easier it seems
I'll just be fine, so here's to moving forward

And as the sun sets on this now
You'll be the one I thought about
And as the sun sets on this now
You'll be the one I thought about

And I wish that I was stronger than the people that you meet
And I wish that you were lost without me
And though the more I think about it the easier it seems
I'll just be fine, so here's to moving forward

We talked for hours
And nothing made much sense
I'm sick and tired
Of sitting on the fence

'Cos I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations
I, I can't find the hows or whys

We talk in circles
We move in narrow lines
I miss the gray patch
Between the black and white

And I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations
I, I can't find the hows or whys

I miss the silence
Of sitting here alone
I think I love you
But I'm better on my own

'Cos I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations
I, I can't find the hows or whys

I can't find the hows or whys
I can't find the hows or whys
I can't find the hows or whys

And if all the words that I could never say,
it's inevitable that they're never going to go away.
And all of the plans, that we could've made,
it's inevitable they'll never see the light of day

Because this could be all
This could be all

Don't you love it when the sun breaks through the clouds on
the dark days and you just sit there smiling hoping that it
won't go away.
Do you remember when the rains came down in summer on
that hot day and you just sat there laughing hoping that it won't go away.

Because this could be all
This could be all

Chorus repeat x 2

Because this could be all
This could be all

I just don't know what it was
And I don't know when it came
All albatross fighting like a buzz
Saw and calling my name

I just don't know what it was
And I don't know when it came
An albatross fighting like a buzz
Saw and calling my name

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

I don't know why I was scared
I've got the power of speech
And all the threats and the violence in the world
Couldn't make me impeach

I don't know why I was scared
I've got the power of speech
And all the threats and violence in the world
Couldn't make me impeach

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

Efface, efface, efface, efface

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot
Waiting on the back foot
Waiting for the monster to drown

She said she'd like to step outside
All of the boxes that made burdens in her mind
And run knee deep into the tide
Chasing the birds as they descend into flight
And you don't have to be constrained
By all the railroads and the motorways
And you don't have to be afraid

I've never witnessed the Northern Lights
I've never walked on the Seine at night
Won't you take me there through the window of your mind?
I want to see all the world with you
Take a walk amongst the caribou
Or watch the Louvre fountains sparkle in your eyes
Can we go there tonight?

And as he sat behind the desk and he pondered
When he'd have the time to rest from all the windows and the files
His old friend sanity's been missing for awhile
And you don't have to feel constrained
By your mortgage and your minimum wage
And you don't have to feel ashamed

I've never witnessed the Northern Lights
I've never walked on the Seine at night
Won't you take me there through the window of your mind?
I want to see all the world with you
Take a walk amongst the caribou
Or watch the Louvre fountains sparkle in your eyes

I've never witnessed the Northern Lights
I've never walked on the Seine at night
Won't you take me there through the window of your mind?
I want to see all the world with you
Take a walk amongst the caribou
Or watch the Louvre fountains sparkle in your eyes
Can't we go there tonight?

I've walked a hundred miles
I've seen a hundred thousand smiles
Not one of them as beautiful, as beautiful as yours
And all the petrol station flowers
Or all the stolen looks in the small hours
Will never know, we'll never know, we'll never know why

Young and lovestruck will find themselves
Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear
TV says that the insecure will always be
Lonely and business stands to improve, improve

And how times have changed
And our love songs are re-arranged
For different names, a different face
I'll pretend that it's for you

And with that sentiment intact
Please keep the first line as a fact
You never know, you never know
You never know why

Young and lovestruck will find themselves
Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear
TV says that the insecure will always be
Lonely and business stands to improve, improve

All my infatuations, they never made it past
The Internet or a night you'll regret

And all the fashion types, are shagging indie types
And teaching them, how to smoke and how to dress
And they're dressing to impress
And they're dressed like all the rest

Young and lovestruck will find themselves
Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear
TV says that the insecure will always be
Lonely and business stands to improve, improve

Young and lovestruck will find themselves
Stuck right bang in the middle of melodrama and fear
TV says that the insecure will always be
Lonely and business stands to improve, improve
