You hardly recognise me, no more, no more and you barely despise me or adore it’s no more than I deserve, well maybe I’ll be heard. And I’m sorry if I hurt you I swear I cared, I should have been stronger instead it’s no more than you deserve, but maybe you’ll be heard.

Pett Level 02:52
Well I know your heart is a heart of gold, and mine's just stone so lets go face the water, jump right in. And I know your style is a sunny smile that passed me by while I was slowly falling, but maybe we'll get on. (toot on your tuba for a little bit) And I know your heart is a heart of gold, and mine's just stone so lets go face the water, and jump right in. And I know your face is a pretty face and my boat race is a big mistake, lets flaunt them and maybe we'll go... Oh, on a shingle beach we're playing, all on a summers day, we're running through an arch of ivy hiding our days away.... Well I know your heart is a heart of gold, and mine's just stone so lets go face the water, jump right in. And I know your style is a sunny smile that passed me by while I was slowly falling, but maybe we'll get on.

For Words 03:54
Say you’re proud, it lasts for a while and you won’t even have to go out of the house. Say you’re hers, it’s better than flowers and you won’t even have to pretend to be loud and I know that I told you, I’m no good with words, in a song about Giraffes and a song about girls And I know that I told you, I’m no good with words, in a song about Giraffes and a song about girls, but I hope that you smile when you hear this next verse. See I’m proud, to call you my friend and I know it’s not perfect, but at least there’s no end and I’m old, I’m older than you, but I still find the time to be stupid and crude and I know that I told you, I’m no good with words, in a song about Giraffes and a song about girls and I know that I told you, I’m no good with words, in a song about Giraffes and a song about girls, but I hope that you smile when you hear this next verse. And I know that I told you, I’m no good with words, in a song about Giraffes and a song about girls and I know that I told you, I’m no good with words, in a song about Giraffes and a song about girls, but I hope that you smile when you hear this next verse. …. Yes I hope that your smiling wherever you are.

Promenade 01:21
While we were walking, walking in the sand, just walking in the sun, sea, promenade; Ocean Boulevard We watched the passing of the big brass band; Goes doopy doopy do….

Your Mother 03:58
From the pause you’re stalling, holding on to pass the time, it’s more than you can find and the laws will hold, though you will find your way around, until you hit the ground. Oh it’s easy to bore you, it’s not enough to saw you in half, it’s just enough to laugh. And there’s reason to smile, when you are ten feet in the sky, you want to dance, well now you have your chance Cause she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhh And in your faith and in your silence there is something that you want to say, but each time in your way. There’s a special kind of violence and it’s changed the way you play the game, but this time you’re the same. Cause she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhhhhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh And in your faith and in your silence there is something that you want to say, but each time in your way. There’s a special kind of violence and it’s changed the way you play the game, but this time you’re the same. Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Oh she’s been your Mother Ohhhhh Ohhhhh, Ohhh Ohhh Ohhhhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh

Lazy Days 02:59
Lazy Days are out for sale, I’ll post them in a diving bell and hope that it will find you well, we’ll see. And you foresaw the way I’d feel, you wrote it in an open reel, to watch when I am underwhelmed at sea. She says you’re her, but you don’t even know her, she says you’re her, but you don’t even know her. You’re worlds apart and all you think about is the lazy days you had. I’ve been thinking ‘bout the times we slept together You’ve been thinking ‘bout the times we slept together Maybe we should jump back into bed. And you smile wider than a harp when we’re together I’ll smile wider than a harp when we’re together, maybe we should smile apart instead. Take my hand you’ll understand the reasons that we fought the lie and you and I could put aside the reasons that we sought to hide. The lazy days we had….

She throws parties much better than me and their taller than the fellas that stand on her shoulder and she’s older, older than me oh, oh Lola what can you see oh, see up in your tree? And her hair do is a do of a girl that is wiser, but the other girls call her a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar oh what can you see oh, oh Lola up in your tree. And her mother was born at the top of a mountain and they say that’s what was accounting for the height, the heights, the heights, the heights , the heights, the heights of Lola, original rocker and roller who polkered until it was over, to a coda, Casanova, oh Lola what can you see oh, see up in your tree? She’s a lover rolls over from one to another, a modern immaculate playgirl, she’s a rave girl, in a hay bail, she may very well pull you right under and again she will rain on your thunder and eat from the hand that will feed her, oh you need her oh you need her, she’s your leader….. Ohhhh So the moral , the moral of every story is invite her to every party bring in a tree and a ladder and voila you kiss all the girls and you get all the glory and then you can spin your own story and all of the world will adore you, and adore you, and adore you oh Lola what can you see oh, see up in my tree.

You-Go 03:48
You go, I will be behind you. Dark clouds never seem to find you, on a day in Peckham Rye where the skies are blue, we can take the number 9, fly to Timbuktu. Downfall it is barely raining, god knows I am not complaining and I've got my brand new shoes, with the leather toes, and I've got nothing to lose so I stand and pose, 2,3,4….. 4, freefall, falling must be pleasing...I fall only I'm not speeding at a hundred miles an hour on a splendid route, I can give you all you want for a parachute. You're sailing through a muddy lake, you say you've never swum before take a deepth breath, you're going over board. You're swimming through a brown milkshake, I tell you time to drink it all, but now you're on a diet, be responsible! I see, I see you are, you've lost some weight that’s clear to see, I see, I see you are, you've lost some weight that’s clear to me I see, I see you are, you've lost some weight that’s’ clear to see, I see, I see you are, you've lost some weight and…. You go, I will be behind you. Dark clouds never seem to find you, on a day in Peckham Rye when the skies are blue, we can take the number 9, fly to Timbuktu. I try to, I try to… Freefall, falling must be pleasing...I fall only I'm not speeding at a hundred miles an hour on a splendid route, I can give you all you want for a parachute. You're sailing through a muddy lake, you say you've never swum before take a deepth breath, you're going over board. You're swimming through a brown milkshake, I tell you time to drink it all, but now you're on a diet, be responsible! Freefall, falling must be pleasing...I fall only I'm not speeding at a hundred miles an hour on a splendid route, I can give you all you want for a parachute.

The Curve 02:25
Don’t bow your head my darling, it’s only words, it’s only over for the time we hurt, we could, I’ve found the cure my darling, I’ve found the curve, I’ve seen the sunshine, beating on this earth… We could smile...and make it on our own And take it on our… I’m dressed in flowers my darling, I’m dressed in dirt I’m taking over waiting for my birth, we could. I’ve found a spot to fall in, I’ve found a worth. Ohhhhh we could tear our heads off waiting for the curve. We could smile……

Marley 02:38
Patient child dry your eyes, won’t be told harmless lies. March of solemn bare-foot tread, but I am far too full of love to bat an eyelid. “I’m not tired, so leave the light, sing my rhyme I’ll click along Mother” Forget foxes in the garden, tell your father I’ve been smiling I’m not tired, Simon’s calling from down by our bed Sing my rhyme I’ll strum along lover, lover of mine.
11.
I’m down on my luck but I don’t care too much cause I’m steadily slipping in wine and though I fore-go soap I’ll slap on a waistcoat and casually say that I’m fine…. I’m dancing, I’m crazy, I’m more than you made me, wild horses can’t keep me from partially pretending we’ll jaunt soon but till then we’ll drink to the morning…

Dun Dun Dun 03:33
Oh Lord, could it be; The thoughts that I once bought to keep me warm have run away and set me free. And if she's no good for me, no she's no good for me then who, then who the hell will take her place and render all the wasted nights we drew? Old Shoes, burgundy. I tried my hand at running but the past just kept on coming back to me. And if she's no good for me, no she's no good for me then why, then why the hell am I still coming up with reasons that I can't deny? Old thoughts be kind …….and leave me behind. Old Shoes, burgundy. I tried my hand at running but the past just kept on coming back to me. And if she's no good for me, no she's no good for me then why, then why the hell am I still coming up with reasons that I can't deny? Old thoughts be kind …….and leave me behind.

Take all the best things that you knew of me and I’ll say what for, cause I’ve spent the best part of my life inside but won’t anymore and I’ve found my head doesn’t hold me anymore cause I’m already flawed and I find my heart doesn’t love me anymore cause I’m already yours….. KCC you are the ball to my broken chain and I foresee this wall will fall when I call your name and I find my fear doesn’t hold me anymore cause I’m no longer flawed, and I find my heart doesn’t hate me anymore cause I’m no longer yours. KCC you are the ball to my broken chain and I foresee this wall will fall when I……
