G.S.K.
As the sun sets, on the Glaxo Klein
Well It’s the only way that I can tell the time
Bright neon bikes
On the hillside
Mosquito nets
They cover the buildings
On concrete island
I wave at the businessman
On concrete island
Well I hope my dinner is warm
On concrete island
I wave at the businessman
On concrete island
Well I’ve been here far too long
Well I’m speeding along, speeding along
I go through the windshield
I’m speeding along, speeding along
Well I hope my dinner is warm
I’m speeding along, speeding along
I pray to the G.S.K.
I’m speeding along
I’m speeding along
I’m speeding along
I go from pharmacy to pharmacy
And from the shop to the floor
He says ‘It’s time you don’t get back’
From the other side of the wall
When all of this has come to light
I’ll be the one to deplore
With the time I didn’t get back
I go from pharmacy to pharmacy
And from the shop to the floor
He says ‘It’s time you don’t get back’
From the other sweet spot side of the wall
Narrator (ft. Martha Skye Murphy)
I’m trying real hard
I think I’ve made it up
Fleshing out your face with the features from a magazine
One slow sequence
Just to find my feet
Ten toes I've got five on each
Losing my flow
And my memories are so unnatural
I am my own
Narrator
Losing my flow
And my memories are so unnatural
I am my own
Narrator
Footsteps erased
The path doesn’t change
Mould beauty out of clay
Write words for me to say
The mirror guards his reflection
The story becomes resurrection
I play my part
I’m trying real hard
I think I made it up
Fleshing out your face with the features from a magazine
One slow sequence
Just to find my feet
One slow sequence
Well that’s all I need
Losing my flow
And my memories are so unnatural
I am my own
Narrator
Losing my flow
And my memories are so unnatural
I am my own
Narrator
Mould beauty out of clay
Write words for me to say
The mud was deep
It followed me
A one person game
Let me play
Let me narrate
I’ll play my part
I’ll play my part
I’ll play my part
I’ll play my part
Crystalline
So serene
I’ll play
I’ll play
Let me see
I can know
Of tying laces, finishing bows
I’ll play my part
Boy Racers
Were you mangled by a tree?
Were you a teen girl fantasy?
It’s not ok that we can’t sleep tonight
With boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racer did you see that light?
No? ok
Are you suspended in time?
Does anyone even know what you might look like?
It’s not ok that we can’t sleep tonight
With boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racers in our dreams at night
Boy racer did you see that light?
I always stayed at home
I always stayed at home
I always stayed at home
I should have stayed at home
Your face doesn't age
And you’re always small
And you’re always small
And there are things that you’ll never know
Things that you’ll never…
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m flying
Paddling
Patient, in control
Dig holes like a mole
Patient, oars in stow
Just do what you’re told
There are people inside
They’re changing in shape and in size
Where you going? Don’t want to go there
You comb your hair and you tense the muscle
Patient, in control
Dig holes like a mole
Patient, oars in stow
Just do what you’re told
There are people, there are people inside
And they’re changing in shape and in size
Where you going? I don’t want to go there
You comb your hair and you tense the muscle
There are people, there are people inside
And they’re watching while I’m taking the dive
Where you going? I don’t want to go there
You comb your hair and you tense the muscle
Thrash round, make it worse
In your day of firsts
Sink down, through the waves
Red faced now but safe
There are people, there are people inside
And they’re changing in shape and in size
Where you going? I don’t want to go there
You comb your hair and you tense the muscle
There are people there are people inside
Put me a coat and step me in line
Where you going? I don’t want to go there
You comb your hair and you tense the muscle
Don’t push me in
Don’t Push me in
Well you’re pushing me in
Well you’re pushing me in
Documentary Filmmaker
Well a documentary filmmaker passes by on the hospital ward
And a documentary filmmaker poses, for a photo
And a documentary filmmaker goes home at the end of the day
But I’ll sit and watch the seasons change
‘Cos it was warm in the summer
Warm in the summer
Warm in the summer
Warm in the summer
But Snowy in February
Snowy in February
Snowy in February
Snowy in February
The sweat dripped off my plastic sheets
Oh the sweat dripped down unto my knees
It was warm in the summer
Warm in the summer
Warm in the summer
Warm in the summer
Because the eggs
Are cheaper
The day after easter
And the eggs are always cheaper
The day after easter
And I know
Oh, I know
It must be hard to pass them by
And I know
Oh I know
He’s filming
All the time
2010
In palaces
When looking out,
From around the table
Meet for the feast
Where there’s no taste
But just a flavour
Of things to come
You’ll come inside
You’ll be a friend
We’ll satisfy
Your every need
Your expectation
And there’s a kink,
It’s in the blanket
And on the spikes
But they weren’t there
The week before –
And they will shine
See your reflection,
I’m upside down
You’re upside down
The wrong way round
And Inside out
these eyes
All in piles, all in piles
Losing sense, near
stacked up files
All in lines, all in lines
All these eyes, all
these eyes
And at night, and at
night
All in piles, all in piles
All in piles
Locked in lines, fours
or fives
All in lines, all in lines
All these eyes, all
these eyes
All in piles
Upside down, upside
down
All in piles, all in piles
Both so weak, week
by week
All in lines, All in lines
Peel St.
Where were you when the ice came to town?
Where were you when the ice came around?
You don’t remember?
You don’t remember?
Was there enough to kill the whole damn street?
Was there enough to improve your swing?
You don’t remember?
You don’t remember?
Where were you when the ice came around?
Where were you When the Ice came to town?
You don’t remember?
You don’t remember?
Did your fame come a little too late?
Do you find it carries far too much weight?
You don’t remember?
You don’t remember?
I’m falling in, I’m falling out , I'm falling back, I’m falling in
I’m falling out, falling back, falling in
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna
I’m falling in, I’m falling out, I'm falling back, I’m falling in
Falling out, falling In, falling out,
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna
Well I've always been told what to do.
But now I’m free
There’s no warden
Following me
Following me
Following me
But now I’m
Free
There's no warden
Following me
Global Groove
There’s tight lycra round my hips and a sweat band that fits round my head
We’re still dance, dance, dancing today
To the global groove
Well the TV guide gets fatter as the days pass by
And those taxis do a dance as I watch from the sky
Global Groove
Global Groove
Global Groove
Global Groove
We’re still tap, tap, tapping away, to the global groove
Watch your favourite war on TV
Just before you go to sleep
And then your favourite sitcom
Watch the tears roll down your cheek
Global Groove
Global Groove
I’m so sick and tired of dancing
I’m so sick and tired of dancing
I’m so sick and tired of dancing
Are you sick and tired of dancing?
Still tap, tap, tapping
Dance, dance, dancing
I remember when I was really small
The news said that
When planes went overhead
And how many passengers you could fit on a plane
Imagine each person, and where they’re going, that would make me feel better
That these people were just going on holiday
And...
Seeing people
Die
And its...
Being exposed to that much
Realism
Pamphlets
That's why I don’t go
Outside
Pale teeth and white smiles
They don’t care and I don’t mind
Pale bricks and wide smiles
That's why I don’t go outside
I’ve got a brand new car
Right on my drive
But those pale bricks and white smiles
That’s why I don’t go outside
I don’t go outside, outside, outside
I’ve got flagpoles in my sights
Legs still but the herd is in motion
Legs still but the herd is in motion
Legs still but the herd is in motion
Could you do another and could we be in motion?
Pamphlets through my door
And pamphlets on my floor
Open wide, we’ve got everything, everything you like
