Everybody Boogaloo

Surf rock meets Autumn Leaves
--------------------
You know the day is over
And the night has just begun
If the street light is burning
We can beat the rising sun

Midnight -  in the dark blue
Sundowner – so much fun
Hold tight – dancing with you
All night – on the run

3am is waiting
The steam and rail-roads
On the shoulders of giants
Racing for the stars

Hills are calling and I must go, I must go
After the hardest climb we watch the world below, 
One day every cell, every part of us, part of us
Will be part of the rocky road.

You know the night is over
And the day has just begun
If the moon light is fading
And we can hold the rising sun

Midnight -  in the dark blue
Sundowner – so much fun
Hold tight – dance with you
All night – on the run

Hills are calling and I must go, I must go
After the hardest climb we watch the world below,
One day every cell, every part of us, part of us
Will be part of the rocky road.

Hills are calling and I must go, I must go
After the hardest climb we watch the world below,
One day every cell, every part of us, part of us
Will be part of the rocky road.

Sundowner

Rough winds do shake
The Darling buds of May
Eye of heaven burning
Take cover from the storm
The great Oak dances and plays

A hot summer’s day
Your beauty will never wane
When the night draws in
Again our love begins
You can out shine the shade

So long as I can breathe
And that my eyes can see
You will be my lover
I’ll never love another
Your eternal 
sun shine’s for me x2

You are the golden brown
My blooming flower
You are my fear, my love
You took my heart x2

Rough winds do wake
The Darling buds of May
Golden face will fade
Fair from fair will jade
The great oak creaks and sways

Sweet somethings in your ear
And the lines guide your tears
When the autumn leaves fall
I thank God for it all
Forever beautiful, my dear

So long as I can breathe
And that my eyes can see
You will be my lover
I’ll never love another
Your eternal 
sun shine’s for me x2

You are the golden brown
My blooming flower
You are my fear, my love
You took my heart x2

Eternal Sun

Take me away, won’t you come with me?
Something stronger than Jesus
To take you away, won’t you come gladly?
Look at all these people dancing

Hands in the air, eyes closed tightly
Singing the same old song
Anointed with love, say no politely  
I will fight for you

I will fight for you
Take off your blind-fold
Won’t you take - my hand - and walk with me
To the Angel in the old Highgate Road

Be bold and be strong, won’t you come with me?
Something stronger than Whiskey
To take us away, and one day we’ll say
‘Look at all these people dancing’

Holding you near , thanking you nightly
Singing the same old song
Anointed with love, holding you tightly  
I fought a war for you

I will fight for you
Take off your blind-fold
Won’t you take - my hand - and walk with me
To the Angel in the old Highgate Road

I will fight for you
Take off your blind-fold
Won’t you take - my hand - and walk with me
To the Angel in the old Highgate Road

Highgate Road

Sigourney Weaver

Just like the time I checked the hour whilst we were making out
In the beaded seats of her dad’s Corolla
I said at the time, 
it’s not important
It’s just that I want to see — Brass Eye on TV
And it’s on Channel 4 at eleven

Like the time I missed Laika & The Cosmonauts  
cos I slept til ten in the hallway of my good friend
I thought at the time
It’s not important
It’s just I don’t know why I agreed,  to go with those role-playing guys who seemed
Okay, but I don’t play

I don’t what this feeling is 
when I sabotage myself
Laying down traps to catch me out
Put stupid in, get stupid out
Maybe it’s a bug, and I was coded badly
Or maybe I’m the fool that you put up with gladly
Maybe I’m just a fool for you

I don’t what this feeling is 
when I sabotage myself
Laying down traps to catch me out
Put stupid in, get stupid out
Maybe it’s a bug, and I was coded badly
Or maybe I’m the fool that you put up with gladly
Maybe I’m just a fool for you

Cosmonauts

You open up the hatch to the attic
And your records are all scratched
And somethings eaten your love letters

And the mix tape that I made for Lisa in 8th grade
Has nowhere to be played
They fade away

Riding home on borrowed bikes at night
In the forest where the shadows lie
Moon rays fight back from the tarmac 

Of the faces that I knew, the best memory is of you
The lines that I drew
They fade away

All the ghosts of your old friends
Boxed and marked with sharpie pens
Labelled with Love,  and thoughts, trophies for forgotten sports
And broken picture frames of girls
From magazines round the world

You find old photos from a trip you took
To see some bands in Milton Keynes, you look
so young, dancing to ‘Panic’ in the sun

And the TV’s on at home, with the static
The big dog on his own
Howling at the moon from 30 years ago 

All the ghosts of your old friends
Boxed and marked with sharpie pens
Labelled with Love,  and thoughts, trophies for forgotten sports
And broken picture frames of girls
From magazines round the world

Ghosts of Old Friends

So last night I said some things that I know were not wise
I’m not stupid, but I’m dumb sometimes
And even though I’m reaching for sorry, I still lose those words 
make excuses, that sound absurd

you find it in your heart to forgive me 
one last time
So I smile, you know that smile, that says it all
Then quickly I move on, forgetting

So last night you packed some things that I know were not mine
I’m not stupid, but I’m numb sometimes
And even though I’m reaching for sorry, I still lose those words 
make excuses, that sound absurd

Will you find it in your heart to forgive me?
one last time
Will I smile, you know that smile, that says it all
Then quickly I’ll   move on, forgetting

One Last Time
