The Elephants
03:26
|
|||
|
Lead the elephants up to the roof
Blue sky
/
Make the elephants loosen their hoofs
Then fly
/
Set them free
they’re not meant to live with you
in your kitchen, in your bedroom
not ment for you
and your bathtub
Set them free
and your migrane, and your light sleep
Set them free and your cynic, and your own creep
/
And as you kiss them goodbye
the elephants cry
/
Set them free
Blue sky
Then fly

your image of me
you can keep it
i give it to you
- - (keep the image
- - as an object)
/
shook you up
shook me down
shook you off
shook me round
/
your image of me
you can keep it
i give it to you
- - (you can’t read me
- - as a subject)
/
shook you up
shook me down
shook you off
shook me round

Things
05:08
|
|||
|
who would have thought things change
statics push actants all the same
/
things act upon thoughts
actions push things forwards
/
you haven't changed, things estranged
evocation retailed, yet things 've changed
/
what remains will fade away
who evolves cannot fail
/
things act upon thoughts
actions push things forwards

Best of Both Worlds
04:35
|
|||
|
When my helpfulness comes down to no aid and it is held
held in disdain,
I am irate
but no longer helpless.
/
Salvage me,
ah, use me up!
/
„Nice to meet you again. Why you so touchy?“ Effort is a shell
shallow it is.
I would rather be
the odd one out.
/
I'll never have
my soul worked on.
/
I am irate
but no longer helpless.
I'll help myself
to the best of both worlds.

Mind the Gap
02:55
|
|||
|
Step outside, mind the gap!
Step outside, mind the gap!
/
Went to a decent wedding,
helped myself to
the cake.
Went to a decent wedding,
what a mistake!
/
Step outside, mind the gap!
/
Went to an offce party,
helped myself to
some drinks.
Went to an offce party,
what did i think?
/
Step outside, mind the gap!

Pop Copywriter
03:11
|
|||
|
When thinking drives time my mind is a hang fre. White lies lie awake.
/
While a mind is ahead of the present my thinking is far from perfect
and of no lyric entitlement.
/
I was outthought,
guided by voices.
I’ve copied a pop copywriter’s test – I’m banned from singing 'bout you.

Savor
04:38
|
|||
|
Although I stole from you,
I won't regret anything.
/
Savor your rage, hypocrite. /
Punch my temple with your fst, I won't regret anything.
/
Savor your rage, hypocrite
There are no excuses for the things you do. /
There are no excuses for the things you do. There are no excuses for the things you do. There are no excuses for the things you do. /
May our name be erased! May our name be erased! May our name be erased!
My your name
be erased,
for the things you do.

extrovert empathy
steal my my indecisiveness
intimate entity
heal me from dysphoria
/
extrovert empathy
intimate entity
extrovert empathy
intimate polity
/
what they see
is what their mind’s eye already saw
before they hit the scene
what they read
is what their moral made them know
before they read the news
/
privileged wanna-be, confused special snowflake kid
unidentified gunmen in a speeding car
/
use your eyes on scene!
what is written in the news?

Never Enough
02:19
|
|||
|
There is not enough life in a lifetime.
There is not enough time left for words.
/
There is not enough freedom for lovers.
There are many reasons for fighting.
/
There is never enough humanism.
There is not enough daylight in space.
/
There is never enough humanism, there is not enough freedom for lovers, there is not enough daylight in space
