Lay Down

We can plan 
And we can pray
But in the end we ricochet 
Can I bounce off you a while?

We can spend 
And we can save
Try and catch the next big wave
Or wave it off
Hey would you let me cramp your style? 

Oh my body clock is ticking
And I want to count my chickens
But the plan has hatched too quick 
Still need to get things out my system

We should travel
Write a novel
Sell the screenplay to the devil
Try to do something worthwhile

We should work hard
We should work out 
We can work this out
No doubt about it
Come on and let me see you smile 

Oh my body clock is ticking
And I want to count my chickens
But the plan has hatched too quick 
Still need to get things out my system

Recently it's double dutch
Tea leaves in a coffee cup
You know I love you so so much
But everybody's breaking up
In this city
It's sad to see
It worries me

How we can plan 
And we can pray
But in the end we ricochet 
Can I bounce off you a while?

We could fight
Or see the light
We could lighten up
And turn the lights down 
Hey do you want to have my child?

Oh my body clock is ticking
And I want to count my chickens
But the plan has hatched too quick 
Still need to get things out my system

Chicks

I was riddled with guilt
It was a riddle to me
How our island had sunk
In the splintering sea
Yet the unchartered waters 
They did not feel new
That summer I left you
And we left the EU

The earthquake 
Ripped right through our youth
Heartbroken borders
Borderline truth
I followed the fault lines 
With superglue
That summer I left you
And we left the EU

The bullet I shot
Was swallowed up whole
By the media storm
The historic the own-goal 
And nobody thought 
I’d see it through
That summer I left you
And we left the EU

We stood and stared 
As all we’d built burnt down 
Wildfire rumours 
Spreading through town 
But the blame came down 
To point of view
That summer I left you
And we left the EU

My sense of direction
Was a lost cause
They found my moral compass
Washed up on distant shores 
How the sun poured down   
On the residue
That summer I left you
And we left the EU

Lyrics:

Drank a coffee at the counter, escaping from a downpour
Last time, we took the table by the front door

If I had a witness, I could blame the rain
Wanted to come over, I was overcome again

The focus was soft
The angle was wide
We were losing the light
Seeing black and white 
I still have the photograph
Your eyes are closed
The moment passed

Saw you as the sun went down, I thought the skies had cleared
You smiled for the camera, then you disappeared

The focus was soft
The angle was wide
We were losing the light
Seeing black and white 
I still have the photograph
Your eyes are closed
The moment passed

In light of recent darkness I’m mapping out the stars
Something to believe in

The focus was soft
The angle was wide
We were losing the light
Seeing black and white 
I still have the photograph
Your eyes are closed
The moment passed

The Photograph

Lyrics:

Sundown sunburn
Summer nights taciturn
Foggy notion playing in your 
Bones another bookmark 
By the bedside 
Window open warm breeze 
Two months twelve days
Before the deep freeze 
Paper cups Christmas cards 
Yesterday's 
News at the front door 
Wearing out the kitchen floor
Pacing ‘round worrying 
Wondering ‘bout the state I'm in 

I left my heart at Heathrow
Trying to catch an arrow in my teeth
Now I’m awake till morning
Are you still sleeping darling?

Nights in lights out
Nights out nameless
Flipping through your 
Pages blinds drawn 
Eyes down I hear 
Horror on the airwaves
It's been ages now 
Since I smoked 
My last cigarette
Don’t play roulette you said
Play something else instead
Since you helped me kick it
I don’t even miss it

I left my heart at Heathrow
Trying to catch an arrow in my teeth
Now I’m awake till morning
Are you still sleeping darling?

Waving semaphores 
Across the lonely planet or
Tightrope walking on parallel lines high 
Hopes it’s physical 
It’s chemistry 
No use fighting
Someone's writing 
Up their memoir 
Using my memories 
If I can keep my mouth shut 
I get director’s cut  

I left my heart at Heathrow
Trying to catch an arrow in my teeth
Now I’m awake till morning
Are you still sleeping darling?
