You're about to find me out
when you hold me to the light
Behind that lead lined slab
Keep me in your line of sight

Call it vanity or just company
Project my bones across the wall
So let's map all my vertebrae and joints and hope that
My nerves will never fall

Dream this time that you can see right through me (see right through me)
Take your time I wanna look right through me (see right through me)
Map my mind, I want to see my insides outside
See my bones they shine
And take my picture and we'll

I cant regulate, it holds me fast in it's control
All this radiation, to get exposure of my soul

Playing with magnets, let's all skip together into self discovery
This grin is fixed and tired, and without my flesh
The skull just looks like me

Dream this time that you can see right through me (see right through me)
Take your time I wanna look right through me (see right through me)
Map my mind, I want to see my insides outside
See my bones they shine
And take my picture and we'll... picture and we'll..., picture and we'll

You hold the world it feels so small
It feels so warm the core inside
It's taken years to feel like this
So then why is it only now

I've waited for, that perfect kiss, that perfect miss. I feel good
I've waited for that perfect kiss but why is it now I feel good

Here I go again
Take it away, all the rain
Here I go again, about, about to dive in

I watch the clock, it ticks the beat
My blood pumps warm so warm inside
Too many years to feel like this
So then why is it only now

I've waited for, that perfect kiss, that perfect miss. I feel good
I've waited for that perfect kiss but why is it now I feel good

Here I go again
Take it away, all the rain
Here I go again, about, about to dive in.

I've waited for that perfect kiss but why is it now I feel good
I've waited for that perfect kiss but why is it now I feel good

Here I go again
Take it away, all the rain
Here I go again, about, about to dive in

Lyrics

He died, they cried, she came, to town
She's funny, alright, the hay is made
Ghost of, Bolling Hall, brass moan, pity poor
Lovers, gonna love, haters.

Ring the bells of Morbihan
Tell us that the siege is blown
Ring the bells of City Hall
Tell the hills I'm coming home

Guess its what bells say
I love you anyway
Guess its what bells say
The horses of hope are on their way

Here is, a tiny babe, here is a crying shame
Bandits, ding-dong, the witches' blame

Ring the bells of Morbihan
Tell us that the siege is blown
Ring the bells of City Hall
Tell the hills I'm coming home

Guess its what bells say
I love you anyway
Guess its what bells say
The horses of hope are on their way

Guess its what bells say
I love you anyway
Guess its what bells say
The horses of hope are on their way

Guess its what bells say
I love you anyway
Guess its what bells say
Vengeance is on its way

Jenny Greenteeth Lyrics

I'm a brown trout, I'm a barbel
I'm a dace, we are chub
Crayfish flown in from the USA
Pick a path along the bed
Below fresh dales Irn Bru
Busting out out through surface tension oooosh

Ribble, Washburn, Ouse, Skirfare
Wharfe, Ure, Swale, Lune and Aire
Rainmuck phosphates I expect
Storm outflow, trigger retch
Pity hills they cannot speak
Of coliforms at their peak
Yorkshire water people frown
Turn thy smile, upside down

Loup Scar bubble, heal thy trouble
Thou chill embrace
Cool baptise by Jenny Greenteeth oooh
Freez and foss, heal sen loss
Bous and force in scrap with clint and gryke 

Ribble, Washburn, Ouse, Skirfare
Wharfe, Ure, Swale, Lune and Aire
Rainmuck phosphates I expect
Storm outflow, trigger retch
Pity hills they cannot speak
Of coliforms at their peak
Yorkshire water people frown
Turn thy smile, upside down

Ribble, Washburn, Ouse, Skirfare
Wharfe, Ure, Swale, Lune and Aire
Rainmuck phosphates I expect
Storm outflow, trigger retch
Pity hills they cannot speak
Of coliforms at their peak
Yorkshire water people frown
Turn thy smile, upside down
Yorkshire water people frown
Turn thy smile, upside down
Yorkshire water people frown
Turn thy smile, upside down

Climbing through the loft steps
Scrabble through the boxes
Dust floats up, thoughts flows down
Light cracks through the slate gaps
Peeling back the brown tape
Ghost reads haunting view

Cos' history was then
And herstory is now

Loving, loving you
Cos' loving, is the easiest thing to do
Loving, loving you
Cos' loving, is the easiest thing to do

Reeling from the pages
Mingle in the montage
Shake, shake, shake in the hand
Dropleting the face now
Thoughts faster than the light that
Turns our tome to dust

Cos' history was then
And herstory is now

Loving, loving you
Cos' loving, is the easiest thing to do
Loving, loving you
Cos' loving, is the easiest thing to do

Loving, loving you
Cos' loving, is the easiest thing to do
Loving, loving you
Cos' loving, is the easiest thing to do

Well it's too late, to touch
The screen, that aches so much with love
You'll never know

Father Oshimi, he knew,
I'd feel oh so blue as blue
Your satin dress

Tap my foot, maybe the Starrs will realign
Heads and Tailz, we lo-se
Cos all I have are these bands of gold
Never climb green hills and hold me

Is it too late for truth
Has Linda tripped and stumbled
I bear the spikes upon my back

Tap my foot, maybe the Starrs will realign
Heads and Tailz, we lo-se
Cos all I have are these bands of gold
Never climb green hills and hold me

Tap my foot, maybe the Starrs will realign
Heads and Tailz, we lo-se
Cos all I have are these bands of gold
Never climb green hills and hold me

Side A
You're Madder Than Me
A bitter spacey waltz
Eccleshill
Chirpy hymn to Bradford 2 with the feel of Steely Dan's 'Soul Ram'
Weakdays
Half English- half French moan at PO privatisation and its consequence for saucy penpal letters
How Could I Tell
Acidised 90s workout on fancying a person you despise 

Side B
Summer in the Sun
Space travel around a cruel, burning sun.
You Send Me Up
Tribute to Charity Shop LP – 'Hot City Nights'
Over the Valley
Huge wave breaks over Staithes and sweeps all the way into West Yorkshire
J.G. Mallard*
Grappling with society and technology  as the sleek ghost of the Mallard train draws alongside. The driver has a disturbing message!
