When everything alive dies it becomes a black ribbon in layers of earth
Then we dig it up just to burn it on the hearth

But these black flowers keep pushing up through the ground
I’m happy pushing them back down

Tall black bars to your wood sticks. White flowers, they just don’t exist
The road to your dream’s paved with gold, where all the houses have been sold

But these black towers keep pushing up through the ground
I’m happy pushing them back down

They say its money, but they want your energy
And you’ll give it up, you’ll give it up, you’ll give it up

My only footprint’s in the sound, but you’ll charge me pound for pound
And when the oil’s all run out, they’ll burn our bodies when we die out

But these black flowers keep pushing up through the ground
I’m happy, 
I hope you’re happy,
Pushing them back down


Black Flowers

This song is dedicated to Jaclyn Ann Perrelli, 1983-2011, RIP

Black hole hair
And eyes as deep as time
Jaclyn

Her past was so stained for her future to come clean
She keeps her eyes shut so she'll never have to see
I keep you in mind

So you can see through my eyes
I'm alive, i'm still alive
Jaclyn

Head in the stars babe
Bet you think you figured them all out
Black hole hair 
and eyes as deep as time

So you can see through my eyes
I'm alive, i'm still alive
Jaclyn

Jaclyn Ann you must be missing out
This can't be the love you were always talking about
I don't need that kind

So you can see through my eyes
I'm alive, i'm still alive
Jaclyn

Even when you want me
Even when you want me
 
You will never be happy
Cos i'm just one rung on your ladder uh-huh, oh yeah

Is it too much to ask you to take me home?

When You Want Me

Cosmic Fireworks and i'm set loose, I'll be the animal you choose.
In the middle of the universe spinning in the dark,
You're all blue and i am too.
With a crown upon my head i could scream this is mine,
But I will always belong to you.
Atop of all my accomplishments with a coin between my teeth,
I could say this is me, but it's not true.
There's seven notes to every chord and seven colours at the door.
I see what i see, i sang what i sang but circles all say the same thing.

I will always Belong to you
I will always Belong to you (repeat)

Time will always confuse us, We never think we've had enough
And death seems like a black blanket and life seems like a white blanket.
With a crown upon my head i could scream this is mine,
But I will always belong to you.



Belong To You


HOME IS NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM
HOPEFULLY ITS WHERE YOU END UP
HOME IS NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM
HOPEFULLY ITS WHERE YOU END UP
YOUR REAL FRIENDS GATHER ROUND FOR THE FALL
LAUGHING, WHISPERING, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL

MAKE ME BETTER, FIX MY HEAD
MAKE ME MUSIC FOR ME IN MY BED
ANYTHING BABY'S BETTER THAN DEAD
ANYTHING'S BETTER THAN WHAT YOU SAID

HOME IS NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM
HOPEFULLY IT'S WHERE YOU END UP
HOME IS NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM
HOPEFULLY IT'S WHERE YOU END UP
YOUR REAL FRIENDS GATHER ROUND FOR THE FALL
LAUGHING, WHISPERING, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL
ANYTHING BABY'S BETTER THAN DEAD
ANYTHING'S BETTER THAN WHAT YOU SAID

I'M MY OWN GOOD LUCK CHARM
WONT BE THE ONE TO CALL YOU MINE
I WILL NEVER BE TOO FAR
IF YOU NEED ME I'LL BE CLOSE BEHIND
WHEN I'M AWAY, I NEVER WANT TO STAY
I CAN BE ANYWHERE YOU NEED
AS LONG AS YOU'RE COMING HOME TO ME

GIVE ME ART AND LET ME SPREAD
SOMETHING GOOD THAT I'VE BEEN FED
WHEN I'M DEAD PLEASE DON'T LEAVE
ANYTHING UNDONE BY ME

HOME IS NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM
HOPEFULLY IT'S WHERE YOU END UP
HOME IS NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM
HOPEFULLY IT'S WHERE YOU END UP

If I wanna know more about my nature
I'd ask a machine before my maker
If i wanna know about the brightest lights
I'd point my telescope at the darkest sky

Yin-yang, answers make questions, 
I'm useless before i can function
Yin-yang, answers make questions, 
I'm useless before i can function

Sky punch, you're no robot, must i remind you
Sky punch, you're no robot, must i remind you

If you wanna know more about my nature
I'd just love you now and not wait till later
If i wanna join the bright bright lights
I can't keep my love out of your sight

Yin-yang, answers make questions, 
I'm useless before i can function
Yin-yang, answers make questions, 
I'm useless before i can function

Sky punch, you're no robot, must i remind you
Sky punch, you're no robot, must i remind you

My heart, my heart, i try to be so good
But try as i might
My heart, my heart, i try to be so good
Well you say its inappropriate 
When i try to be the thing that you want me to be
I'll be your sunshine friend till the end
but what about the darkness
On the night walk home you brag about the 16 times you tried to thaw out your heart
No the ice is on fire and i'm thirsty as a desert
Pour one more

Sky punch, you're no robot, must i remind you
Sky punch, you're no robot, must i remind you

Sky Punch

Lovely places you'll never be
And there are colours you just can't see
Troubled mother you'll never meet
And her children you just can't feed
You're awestruck
Not awake and not asleep
You're awestruck
By the spaces imbetween
Here and there, let's take a trip
There's more to live and less to win
There, there he said
I've had enough

Don't call it love, Don't call it love
Don't call it love, Don't call it love

They began when we were children
And took possession of our minds
With falsehoods and illusion
You've laid with them for quite some time
I'm awestruck
You know there in the wings
I'm awestruck
And you refuse to do a thing
There, there let's take a trip
There's more to live and less to win
There, there, let's take a trip
To those lovely places you've never been

Don't call it love, Don't call it love
Don't call it love, Don't call it love

Don't Call It Love

Heart of a blue whale
Deep within the darkness
I've got a free soul just help me out the harness
I want to swim in the wind like they do in the sea
Heart of a blue whale, heavy, heavy
Heart of a blue whale, Pumping
Searching for love In nothing
I need the magic in my life
We still got the stars and the sea full of lights

Blue wail on your guitar
As hard as you want
Blue wail on your guitar
As hard as you want

Heart of a dragon
Deep within the cavern
8 billion golden eggs
Lit beneath the lantern
We wanna swim in the wind
Like they do in the sea
Heart of a dragon we're ready, we're ready

Heart of a dragon in your guitar
The heart that you want
Heart of a dragon in your guitar
The heart that you want

I was born without my animal parts
My wings are folded behind my eyeballs
I was born without my animal parts
My wings are folded behind my eyeballs

I feel a weight from the whole world 
in my bones, in my bones, in my bones, in my bones
I feel a weight from the whole world 
in my bones, in my bones, in my bones, in my bones
Where's my blood, where's my blood

Blue blooded fool aren't you, aren't you,
Just a blue blooded fool aren't you, aren't you
Just a blue blooded fool aren't you, aren't you, aren't you

Blue blooded fool aren't you, aren't you,
Just a blue blooded fool aren't you, aren't you
Just a blue blooded fool aren't you, aren't you, aren't you

Blue Wail

Coinci~denssse for~est of your life~bow and arrow~tate like a circ~ollect all of us~ave the planet while you still can
 
Improvisat~show me your intentions~lowle~ventually I've got you pinned like a doll-der and wis~er~ly before you were born
 
Before you were born
 
I knew you before you were born
Riding a bright light before you arrived
I know you're good, I know your evil
Like a snake eating it's own tail
Before you were born
Tale
Before you were born
 
I've got you pinned like a doll
Meet your maker
I've got you pinned like a doll
Meet your maker
 
Before you were born

Before You Were Born

You're always breaking up
You're time is taken up
By drugs and swearing
The amphetamines you're taking get you high

Your doctor's checking up
That you've been taking up
The drug that's shaken up 
your mind.
If you were fine
I wouldn't hear
Only static on the line

All your artsy friends
They lie to you no end
They say it's fine
If you decide to burn your candle
From both sides

I could call you up
But you would just hang up
Don't have the time
for sobriety 
or honesty,
Forget some piece of mind

Say, 'Doctor, you're love
Is My suicide'

She said 'my brain is bogus
I need this shit to focus
It's not drugs, it's medication.'
The doctor's brand of meditation

'I can't eat or sleep tonight,
I feel like workin, no I'm alright'
Should have see the warning signs
Before her static screen flat-lined

I'm sick of 
All these funerals
When bright minds aren't treated right
Their pockets rattle through the night.

Can't you see it's worth the fight
To take back you're only life
No prescription drug can save you now
Fuck your doctor and sort it out

Say 'Doctor, your love 
Is my suicide'

I can't hear your voice anymore
You left and slammed the door
Because you're a bloody bore

Say doctor your love is my suicide

A.D.D. (Live Version)

Host for a dream
Ghost in the machine
Burn my body
But somethings never die

Eventually
You'll be me
And everyone will be
everything, you'll see

And our love will never die
Music doesn't need the light
You'll find me faster
If you close your eyes

Jingo, you're an earthling
Fellow human firstly
Don't forget when you're safe
Behind the borderline

Time's not what it seems
It's relative to your heartbeat
Live to love and fight
For a freer life

And our love will never die
Music doesn't need the light
You'll find me faster
If you close your eyes

Our love will never die
Brightest light in the 
Darkest sky;  I'll see you
Singing on the other side

Serve your body
But don't forget your soul
I don't mean magic,
I'm talking about your soul

See your life in a flash of light
Is it true love that your leaving behind?

Host for a dream
Ghost in the machine
Burn my body 
But somethings never die
Now..

And our love will never die
Music doesn't need the light
You'll find me faster
If you close your eyes **

The second single from our upcoming EP
Officially released on 11th September.

Ghost in the Machine

As has become custom with Jingo tracks, Katie’s powerful, entirely unflappable and very Bat For Lashes vocals have you hanging on every beautifully crafted word. Groaning reverb pours out into guitar so lifting it could be calypso whilst amplified rawness and artful melodies scream Warpaint with a Portishead shade.


Ghost in the Machine (Live)

"I know a key that you don't know about
above my parents bedroom door!
I've got this place in the basement
where you can remember your best self.
If you're the kind that places music
you've got to get on the road.
The thing you'll learn about strangers
they see themselves in yourself

Everything, everything
Get in the car and baby roll the window up
Quick buckle up but baby turn the music up
Get in the car and baby roll a number up
Quick buckle up and baby turn the music up

The road is long but i've got 45 friends in the convoy
Grandma get your nylons on
This party wont stop till the moon goes down"

No Ordinary Disco

Boys Down The Hall

Recorded in Lightship 95 (Lana Del Rey, Wolf Alice) as a result of winning the Converse Rubber Tracks competition, mixed and produced by New York based, Kahan James and mastered by Kevin Blackler (Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Strokes, The Raconteurs), Jingo’s latest single is a brilliantly hard hitting taste of what’s to come from their upcoming EP’s later this year. 

Already having garnered recognition from the likes of Amazing Radio (Simon Raymonde), BBC Introducing, Kerrang, Clash, Artrocker, Balcony TV, Hypetrak, Gigwise +, Jingo are anything but short of valuable influence

Well i think that there are those
Who push their fingers through
The shell of a wall
And make a hole to look out through
And they stare out
At the cinders of the world
With naked eyes
Knowing too much besides

Well tell me, who’s taking you home tonight?

Living grows round us like a skin
To shut away the outer desolation
For if we clearly mark the furthest deep
We should be dead long years before that grave leap
Well i think that there are those 
Who push their fingers through
The shell of a wall 
And make a whole to look out through
And they stare out
At the cinders of the world
With naked eyes
Knowing too much besides

Well tell me, who’s taking you home tonight?

Looking in and out
Knowing themselves
Heaven and hell
And too much else
Oh you, you break the shell

But tell me, who’s taking you home tonight

The Shell

It's a Barnum Bailey world
As phoney as can be
But it wont be make believe if you believe in me
It's a paper moon after all
So don't you worry baby, it's never been your fault
When there's 2 moons in the sky
It's a dream for you and I
The world split us apart
But you'll always have my heart in your hands

So baby please you got me on my knees
I'm begging you, don't tell me that you're leaving
Take me please somewhere that i can sleep
I've been up all night, up all night

Since you held my hand
There's been no other plan
You only need to look
Read my eyes just like a book
It's a paper moon after all
So don't you worry baby, it's never been your fault
When there's 2 moons in the sky
It's a dream for you and I
The world split us apart
But you'll always have my heart in your hands

So baby please you got me on my knees
I'm begging you, don't tell me that you're leaving
Take me please somewhere that i can sleep
I've been up all night, up all night

Baby please you got me on my knees
I'm begging you, don't tell me that you're leaving
Take me please somewhere that i can sleep
I've been up all night, up all night

Baby please you got me on my knees
I'm begging you, don't tell me that you're leaving
Take me please somewhere that i can sleep
I've been up all night, up all night

What if i called your bluff and i wasn't wrong
Would you still smile for me?
And what if i called your bluff and i wasn't wrong
Please don't lie to me

Your heart's the same as you left it
No better or worse than when you first felt it
I never made you feel stupid
Never made you feel sad

And i tried to stay true
But i guess love isn't the same for you
And i just wanted to tell you that i'm the same without you

My light, it burns so bright
And my chest, this cage, it feels so tight
But we can never ever give up
Cos they got lines, they got limits, they got bombs
But we still have love

And i tried to stay true 
But i guess love isn't the same for you
And i just wanted to tell you that i'm the same without you

Anything's possible with a bullet in your belly
Well chance will eat you up when you're ripe and ready
I know i was wrong but that's all we ever seem to talk about
What a slow fade out, these bright lights going out

And i tried to stay true 
But i guess love isn't the same for you
And i just wanted to tell you that i'm the same without you

And i tried to stay true 
But i guess love isn't the same for you
And i just wanted to tell you that i'm the same without you



Same Without You
