Bought a brand new bicycle
Painted evergreen and gold
From the pedals to the spokes
That thing was beautiful
But the best thing to come out
Of it was without a doubt
I could be with you within about a half an hour

So I’m cycling long the road
Where to think you already know
No tunes pumping a stereo
Just me whistling as I go

The traffic sits
While I’ve been ducking in and out 
Thinking ‘bout how you’ve been 

How many days
How many hours
Wear through the chain 
I’ll burn through the tyres
I can’t wait till we’re alone
I’m getting out of here

On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
Riding 
Over
On my brand new bike

I don’t need no chemicals
But I’d fail doping controls
Not the way that Lance would though
Endorphin overload
Cos I’m only half a mile
From your pretty face so I’m
Burning calories like roman candles in November skies

How many days
How many hours
Wear through the chain 
I’ll burn through the tyres
I can’t wait till we’re alone
I’m getting out of here

On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
Riding 
Over
On my brand new bike

Sat behind a bus for a tow
Hit 30 mph ’til it slows
On the way from my house to you
Working basis you need to know been dreaming about you

Cos all I see
Is someone who’s the spitting image of you when I sleep

How many days
How many hours
Wear through the chain 
I’ll burn through the tyres
I can’t wait till we’re alone
I’m getting out of here

On my brand new bike
Riding
Over
On my brand new bike
Riding 
Over
On my brand new bike

CODE WORDS

Brand New Bike - Harry Quinn

Might as well write out the instructions in the sand
Cos we’ll never read them as long as we’re changing plans

Feeling it out instead a complicated dance
As long as we enter low lit places heart to heart

You’re my escape key 
You’re the one who teaches me
How to quit or leave 
It all behind me
I’m an on off key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off key
You’re my escape key

I think that I heard somewhere that you’ll get back
All that you put in back
As long as you breathe

Or is it my memory that’s out of whack
Cos didn’t we say hold back
But with a capital W I see

You’re my escape key 
You’re the one who teaches me
How to quit or leave 
It all behind me
I’m an on off key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off key
You’re my escape key

Drawing spaces
Separated
Further in between

Coloured pages
Overrated
Life like magazines

Capable but a nagging sense of incomplete
Probably cos we don’t always say how we feel

Out of our mouths an entire library of nouns
Found all of the doors and the exit signs
But still no way out 
That’s until I found

You’re my escape key 
You’re the one who teaches me
How to quit or leave 
It all behind me
I’m an on off key
I’ve got nothing in between
I’m an on off key
You’re my escape key

You’re my escape key 
I’ve got nothing in between 
I’m an on off
I’m on or off
On or off
You’re my escape key 
I’ve got nothing in between 
I’m an on off key
You're my escape key
My escape key
My escape key

Escape Key - Harry Quinn

She didn't know danger
She didn't need fear
All that really mattered is the now and here

I couldn’t go closer
With everything else
Sticking to my circle talking to myself

If you
Turn around a bit and learn to laugh a little
You might turn to somebody else but yourself
Theres no alibi for
Leaving her behind
Bottle views and everyone suffers

Cos it’s not dangerous moving in and out her scene
But my hearts in my mouth whenever she’s near me
And I’ve tried to find the reason I can hardly speak
And if she’s ever been out there wondering what about me

I put it on paper
So that I can’t cheat
Stating my intention to go up and speak

I wanted to show her
That I could be sure
Lose my outer armour 
Raise my inner sword

If you walk around a bit and
Put it off a little
She'll be found with somebody else but yourself
You won’t turn the tide if you don’t know desire 
And you’re more flawed than ever you thought of

Cos it’s not dangerous moving in and out her scene
But my hearts in my mouth whenever she’s near me
And I’ve tried to find the reason I can hardly speak
And if she’s ever been out there wondering what about me

I’m digging a bigger hole every time my mouth closes
I'm treading a finer line from the past I'm still living in
I try to reserve my words rest assured there in their chamber 
But never could I quickdraw fast enough to know

Turn around turn around
What’s this run away about
I can’t get my point across from back in my bedroom
She may not be so in to me, to know I’ve got to speak
Someone’s gonna tell her 
Making sure it’s me
Making sure

Cos it’s not dangerous moving in and out her scene
But my hearts in my mouth whenever she’s near me
And I’ve tried to find the reason I can hardly speak
And if she’s ever been out there wondering what about me

It’s not dangerous 
But my hearts in my mouth when
And I’ve tried to find
If she’s ever been out there wondering what about me

Dangerous 2 - Harry Quinn

Stuck inside a bubble 
Day and night
First signal of trouble
Out of sight
Bruises but no explanation why
Which one’s had it tougher
Heart or mind

Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to 1
Talk to me ‘bout it or stare at your telephone

Words escape the bubble 
Smallest kind
Sentences a struggle
Most the time
Confusion intention or surprise 
Which one’s had it tougher
Heart or mind

Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to 1
Talk to me ‘bout it or stare at your telephone

Say 
Say that you you don't wonder
Say that you don't think
Try my best believe you 
While my stomach’s telling me

Something in the cold light 
Isn't as it seems
How hard does it have to be
To abandon the bubble please

Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to one
Talk to me 'bout it or stare at your phone

Why do you pour 
Why do you pour

Why do you pour your focus on
All of the tear soaked reasons why you don’t
Number of choices down to one
Talk to me 'bout it or stare at your telephone

Telephone - Harry Quinn

We’re a word away 
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate

I need you like there’s no tomorrow
I need you like there’s no-one left but you
We're caught dwelling on the thought of it all the time
I need time just to catch my breath

Haven’t got an answer yet
Am I gonna see you there
Wish I knew the word you’re thinking

We take turns chapter verse put the world to right
It’s OK but it's not the way that I
Had hoped lines with you crossed origami style
Not too late we’re word away

Haven’t got an answer yet
Am I gonna see you there
Depends on the the word you say
What comes next

We’re a word away 
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate

My leg’s quivering and my hearts pumping head to toe
It’s no joke if your answers no
All that I
Can think about is the last time I couldn't see your smile
Close range took the sight away

Haven't got an answer yet
Am I gonna see you there
Depends on the the word you say
What comes next

We’re a word away 
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate

We’re only one word
Just one word
Just one word
We’re only one word
Only one word
Only one word
We’re only one word
Just one word
Just one word
We’re only one word
Only one word…

We’re a word away 
We’re a word away
From making our biggest mistake
We’re a word away
We’re a word away
From cleaning all the chalk from the slate

A Word Away - Harry Quinn

Too steep
Dig deep
Slower feet
Than the tin man creeping up behind you

Slow week
Talk cheap 
Join the heap of the caveman’s tongues still sat reciting

Oh real and world
Why do they keep on joining up cold
I thought we had 
a better plan

But it’s been one of those days
In the same old city
When everything tastes
Likes it’s going off
And even the bass in my car
Don’t lift me up
I’m losing my appetite
My appetite mind

Glass brick
Tree stick
Take a picture
The painting won’t last that much longer

Cheek Jowl
Low brow
Power down 
And the last text left a strange aroma

No no no
No no no
From a negativity perspective
Yeh yeh yeh
yeh yeh yeh 
Take a positivity suppressant

Cos you don’t wanna wear a yellow shirt 
Unless you know it’s gonna end up like before
The brightest gold

But it’s been one of those days
In the same old city
When everything tastes
Likes it’s going off
And even the bass in my car
Don’t lift me up
I’m losing my appetite
My appetite mind

Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do

Cos you don’t wanna ever lose focus
Cos you’ll end up like before
Forget the gold

Oh real and world
Why do they keep on joining up cold
I thought we had 
a better plan

But it’s been one of those days
In the same old city
When everything tastes
Likes it’s going off
And even the bass in my car
Don’t lift me up
I’m losing my appetite
My appetite mind

Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you got to do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you gotta do
Don’t just stand there
Just go do what you got 
Do what you got 
Do what you got 
Do what you got to do

My Appetite Mind - Harry Quinn

Plenty of time
Plenty of time
Isn’t where it’s at no more
Cos nearer the time
Nearer the time
Translated
Never never never

We’ve been
Living on just
Three things
On love on hate and caffeine

Between three things
We’ve been living
Those three
Love hate and caffeine

Aching for the sake of aching
Hurting from the wrong advice
Argue for the sake of arguing your guess as good as mine

Saying for the sake of saying 
Something for the sake of nothing
Waiting for the sake of breaking everything nearer the time

We’ve been
Living on just
Three things
On love on hate and caffeine

Between those things
We’ve been living
Those three
Love hate and caffeine

NO……

Don’t need an hour
Won’t take a minute
Don’t need a novel
Even a note
I want the real thing something to show

We’ve got the hunger
Not gonna settle
We’ve got the steel
Not gonna break
We’ve got the real thing
All that it takes

I don’t even know what I was doing ’til I saw you
I don’t even know where I went wrong or how to stop you
I don’t even know what I was doing ‘til I saw you
I don’t even know what knowing means
What knowing means
Anymore, anymore, anymore

We’ve been
Living on just
Three things
On love on hate and caffeine

Between those things
We’ve been living
Those three
Love hate and caffeine

Bad dream bad dream bad dream
Maybe it’s just been a bad dream
Bad dream 
If it’s up to me I’d have no sleep 
On my way to see
On my way to see you

Love Hate and Caffeine - Harry Quinn

Don’t understand what’s keeping you over
Your voice has taken over me
Can’t tell how long it’s been since I told you
Let’s turn tonight into a week

It’s not up to me
Up to me
If it’s meant to be
It’s meant to me
I’d give anything
Anything 
For the recipe
For the recipe

Someone tried telling me it’s contagious
Or wear them down ‘til they agree
Better than being of no opinion
The standard let’s just wait and see

It’s not up to me
Up to me
If it’s meant to be
It’s meant to me
I’d give anything
Anything 
For the recipe
For the recipe

Some kind of magic 
Some kind of key
Somewhere the window supposedly leads
Something that still hurts when it's going right
Something to hold on tight 
To hold on tight 
To

Back of my mind making it’s way forward
Reasons you spend your time with me
Summon my last ounces of composure
Is it only me beginning to think slower

Some kind of magic 
Some kind of key
Somewhere the window supposedly leads
Something that still hurts when it’s going right
Something to hold on tight 
To hold on tight 
To

Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking 
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking 
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking 
Am I just overthinking things

Some kind of magic 
Some kind of key
Somewhere the window supposedly leads
Something that hurts you despite going right
Something to hold on tight 
To hold on tight 
To

Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking 
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking 
Am I just overthinking things
Overthinking 
Am I just overthinking things

Anything
Anything
Anything
Anything

Magic
Magic
Magic
Magic

Autumn Alone Lyrics

For an hour and a while 
I was holding my own 'til I
Noticed you turning away
No more fate for the part that was all up to me

Sat around in the rain
Cos it always works the same
To remind me whenever I'm short
There's the thought
And then there was keeping it warm

So then the Autumn comes in through my veins
With all the right things I should have said like

Yours is the part where I'm home
Yours in the picture I'm taking with me when I'm gone
Yours is the body I know
Mine is the part that I'm messing up 
When we wake up alone

To the wind took the fight
So the swings weren't connecting right
I was the one who would fall
In a way still hoping I fall into place

Been a while since I made 
Something clear enough to send
To you knowing every word I'd write the same
But the same's not enough
With our eyes on a different page

So when the Autumn comes in through my veins
I've all the right things that I should have said like

Yours is the part where I'm home
Yours in the picture I'm taking with me when I'm gone
Yours is the body I know
Mine is the part that I'm messing up 
When we wake up alone

Yours is the part where I'm home
Yours in the picture I'm taking with me when I'm gone
Yours is the body I know
Mine is the part that I'm messing up 
When we wake up alone

Yours is the part where I'm home
Yours in the picture I'm taking with me when I'm gone
Yours is the body I know
Mine is the part that I'm messing up 
When we wake up alone
