Lyrics:
I'm gonna find out what you're going on about
I'm gonna find out though I'm not particularly bothered
So we ride along together
My burdens light as a feather
But I'll sit here and still talk to you

Let's do something English
Cause it's all we ever do
We'll have a cuppa in the garden
and I'll stay not to be rude

Let's do something English

Well you can name drop, you've also dropped your sanity
You try but you can't stop being such a calamity
So, try and explain your own laughter
Same story ten versions after
Get up and leave, it's been nice, a pleasure and a breeze

Let's do something English
Cause it's all we ever do
We'll have a cuppa in the garden
and I'll stay not to be rude

Let's do something English
Cause it's all we ever do
I'll sit and smile through tightly gritted teeth
I can't stand the sight of you

Let's do something English

Find out.

A Parisian parting of lips
Now he's in the full swing of her pendulum hips
In industrial lights they begin to French kiss
He won't be sleeping alone

She's never done a thing quite like this
She's bouncing right back from a failed relationship
As he touches her hand she tightens her grip
She won't be sleeping alone

Now he's hooked by the hue of her hosiery
Shifts its shade at her knee so suggestively
And you know they're both acting regrettably
No-one likes sleeping alone

We all fall into the arms of another
Might take us a day to discover
It's just for the night we'll be lovers
No-one likes sleeping alone

With hands intertwined they've started their trip
Getting more distant sip after sip
When the morning arrives will he give her the slip?
Will she be waking alone?

He's never been one to get out of there quick
Kind of naive, not particularly slick
Well the morning arrives and the clock starts to tick
Will he be waking alone?

He's still hooked by the hue of her hosiery
Shifts its shade at her knee so suggestively
And you know they're both acting regrettably
No-one likes sleeping alone

We all fall into the arms of another
Might take us a day to discover
It's just for the night we'll be lovers
No-one likes sleeping alone

Well of course you know it will never be enough
But everybody wants to be in love

Where? Where will you be waking up?

Stop talking all the time
Please rest your weary mind
This nervousness is hurting us
And I am not inclined
To draw out these grand designs

So won't you come swimming?
Swimming on back to me
Won't you come swimming?
Swimming on back to me

You've set sail for far away
I know this won't be night and day
I'm telling you that you'll be fine
To have a backbone, show some spine
If only I could do the same.

So won't you come swimming?
Swimming on back to me
Won't you come swimming?
Swimming on back to me

It's far too cold to be out there alone
There's this place I know we could build a home
This works all right for some
Can we give it a run?
I know we're only young

But won't you come swimming?
Swimming on back to me
Won't you come swimming?
Swimming on back to me

From the Absence EP

iTunes: hyperurl.co/absenceitunes

Saudade, n. portuguese - a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia

When you're alone in bed
And your whole day plays through your head
Picture me instead
Talk to me, you can talk to me for hours

When it's raining out there
I hope you stay unaware 
Stick with me and we'll share a little time
Seconds, minutes or some hours

So when you can't convey 
Can't find the words to say 
You're feeling Saudade you know 
I'll never be that far away

When you've got too much on 
And everything you're doing feels wrong
Get through 'em one by one
I wish that I, I wish that I could do them for you

Stay in bed all day
Curtains keep the whole world away 
And we can do whatever you want to do 
As long as I, as long as I can do it with you. 

So when you can't convey 
Can't find the words to say
You're feeling Saudade you know
I'll never be that far away

I know you've had your highs
I know you've had your lows
I'll be there by your side
Through all the to's and fro's
Ignore the warning signs
I'll show you how this goes 
If you just shut your eyes
I'll be there for you, love

So when you can't convey
Can't find the words to say 
You're feeling Saudade you know 
I'll never be that far away.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder 
Well that don't make much sense to me 
I guess to see then one of us will have to wander 

They say distance will make our love grow stronger 
Well that don't make much sense to me 
I guess we'll see if it can change how much I want ya 

They say patience is a virtue 
Without knowing what we're going or we've been through 
And you know it's up to us two 
To decide when this debate will be continued 

'cause I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
Now I don't know what to do with my time 
I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
'cause now you're not by my side 
I don't know why I act this way 

All this distance has made my love slow 
I know this is difficult darling 
But it's hard for me as well you know 

And I've got these commitments, you know I had to go 
These things you've said are so unkind 
They've got me going out my mind 
But I'm trying not to let it show 

They say patience is a virtue 
Without knowing what we're going or we've been through 
And you know it's up to us two 
To decide when this debate will be continued 

'cause I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
Now I don't know what to do with my time 
I'm head over heels for you and that's fine 
'cause now you're not by my side 
I don't know why I act this way

LYRICS:
Have I got all my friends or am I losing them one by one?
I've kept them in suspense and I didn't see them when I could've done
I just want my friends, 'cause I've been feeling all alone
I just want my friends, just wanna see 'em when I get home

I've been avoiding all their calls, 'cause conversations feel like reruns
I say I've heard it all, constant excuses are not any fun
Been building all these walls, without really being aware
The distances are small but I don't have any more time to spare

I just want my friends

Now we're all grown up, it's getting harder just to make time
To kick up make a fuss, can we go back to sitting in a line?
It used to be a must, we'd see each other every day
I guess we're out of luck, it seems our lives have gone their separate ways.

I just want my friends.

In the end, they'll be around when I've had enough
In the end, they'll put me down and pick me up
In the end, when I'm on the ground and out of luck
In the end, I'll always want my friends.

I just want my friends.

Have I got all my friends or am I losing them one by one?

Too Good

LYRICS:
She said to you
Control your heart
And start again
Well these things happen all the time
She said to you 
Although we'll never ever part
Can we just be friends
Well these things happen all the time

Falling in love with her, you know it's hard.

We never want to know just how it goes 
To never know what might have been
So we throw ourselves in
It goes to show that we don't know 
How things will go until they've been
So we throw ourselves, throw ourselves in.

Well you said to me 
There's only one
And you think it's her
And I don't want to prove you wrong but
She said to me
That feelings start to weigh a ton
 When in love you're an amateur
I never want to see you wronged.

Falling in love with her, you know it's hard.

We never want to know just how it goes 
To never know what might have been
So we throw ourselves in
It goes to show that we don't know 
How things will go until they've been
So we throw ourselves, throw ourselves in.

Fall in love, fall out with her.

LYRICS:
Where do I begin? You'll be confused and cry
And I can't blame you I know it's hard to make sense of life
You'll be living for dreams until they're fulfilled
It's someone else's structure that we're just here to build

So what would I tell you, if I knew it all?

To wake up Freya, you're new to this world
It's calm round here, a family of pearls surround you

I've looked around me, now open your eyes
You'll see things aren't perfect and find that your time will fly
Taught to measure success by digits and other menial things
Not what you learn or the people you meet or the joy they bring

So what would I tell you, if I knew it all?

To wake up Freya, you're new to this world
It's calm round here, a family of pearls surround you

So wake up Freya, a new little girl
Will move everyone to tears
You'll find it's a whirlwind when you're here

And I'd do this again if I could
Be shaped by the things that you love
Don't worry about things you couldn't care less for
Just try your best to rise above

Wake Up Freya.

LYRICS:
I've got a secret, wanna hear it?
I've got a way you can go far
A way for us to never have to quit
So listen up and we can start

After a month you'll sail right through
A clear path, no crowded room
I'll make you money, make your dreams come true
That's just the kind of thing I do

And it'll always be sunny at the weekend
You'll always be funny when you're with your friends
Live happily ever after when the world ends
And it'll always be sunny at the weekend

If you wanna live the high life
No sign of wrinkles on your face
Just sign right up and chase the flashing lights
Be very quick, don't leave a trace

If you wanna buy a speedboat
Then come on down and follow me
I can always find another scapegoat
Someone who follows endlessly

And it'll always be sunny at the weekend
You'll always be funny when you're with your friends
Live happily ever after when the world ends
And it'll always be sunny at the weekend

All around you everything stops
Take the world, use it as a prop
If you feel you can't come unstuck
You should wait for me to pop up
And the gold and all the diamonds will
Turn to coal and oxidise and you'll
Realise you have been towing a line
When recited simply sounds like

I've got a secret, wanna hear it?
I've got a way you can go far
A way for us to never have to quit
So listen up and we can start

And it'll always be sunny at the weekend
You'll always be funny when you're with your friends
Live happily ever after when the world ends
And it'll always be sunny at the weekend

LYRICS
Well a year’s just passed
and everyone I know is growing up and old so fast
Am I the only one who wants to make this feeling last? 
Does everybody think I’m crazy? 

Well a year’s passed by
And everyone has fallen into all these 9 to 5s
They’re changing and they’re rearranging all parts of their lives
While all my plans are blurred and hazy. 

I’ll try to convince myself
That I am not overwhelmed. 

I can’t (seem to) get myself together 
And I’ll regret it (all if) things don’t look better 
In your eyes, in your eyes. 

All my friends 
Are running out of time to mess around and play pretend
Their paths are chosen and they know that they might never end
And soon they’ll all be having babies. 

So if I take the plunge
Try soaking up the scenery, hoping I’m a sponge
But notoriously porous I might get soaked up by the sun
And if I do you’ll have to save me.

Lyrics
Everything's fine in the suburbs
They’ve neatened up the grass where it meets the curb
Someone's left the post with the neighbour
I know it's just the same old behaviour
But I can't conceal that hole I feel.

That familiar crunch of the gravel
Underneath my feet as I unravel
I'll go and find a new way of living
If everyone's a friend and I'm forgiven
How can I deny, just say goodbye and go?

It's all the same when I get home
In the suburbs, in the suburbs
No reason to be on my own
In the suburbs, in the suburbs
And the warmest of hugs will never be enough.

Everything's fine in the city
Hide everything away if it's not pretty
Go and watch the world from the window
Shut your eyes at night and still see the glow
And it starts to heal that hole I feel.

Unfamiliar faces who walk past
I'm struggling with sonder but it doesn't last
Excited by a new way of living
But the people on the ground are not forgiving
How can I return? I’ll never learn, I know.

It's all the same when I get home
In the suburbs, in the suburbs
No reason to be on my own
In the suburbs, in the suburbs
And the warmest of hugs will never be enough.

When home is everywhere else.

I’m lost in the bread aisle
Should be over
In frozen with those little things
that make my mood swing
The cost of the feeling
That I crave 
Is way beyond my day to day
but I’d still pay

It’s getting light again
Ephemeral
But still enough to change my mind
And start to define
Just what I need to get by
As I shield my eyes
From all the bad in the world
As it continues to unfurl

You know it’s cold, cold

Well I’m not looking for sympathy
I just need these little things.

It’s these little things 
It’s these little things 

Like how you feel when indoors
As the rain starts to pour
But you’re nice and warm
'cause the heating’s on
Or when you find a bank note
Crumpled up in a coat
That you’ve not worn in a while
How it makes you smile

You know it’s gold, gold

Well I’m not looking for sympathy
I just need these little things

It’s these little things 
It’s these little things

Little Things

Can I Stay Here Forever (pt. II)

Can I Stay Here Forever (pt. II)
Release date: 29 Jan 2020

Can I stay here forever?
‘Cause people are moving but not together
I'd like to see how we move for the best
No fighting or screaming to get above the rest

They say that we're losing our minds

Can you stay here forever?
We'll still go and play out despite the weather
Frame it then place it on the mantelpiece
Remind us what goes wrong, a tear beneath our sheets


They say that we're losing our minds
and I start to feel like sometimes 

Oh that I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left 
Hope you don't mind me when I'm not at my best
Believe me, I'm not at my best

Can we drop this forever?
My brain flicks from one thought right to another
I think we should sit down and then hit reset
There's so many conversations that we need yet

They say that we're losing our minds
and I start to feel like sometimes 

Oh that I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left
Hope you don't mind me when I'm not at my best
Believe me I'm not at my best

I'll have more fun, the less I know
A couple years moving too slow
Don't hold it too tight to let go
Ooooooh

They say that we’re losing our minds,
And I feel sometimes 
That I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left
Baby, I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left.

Back to back we faced one another
Drew our swords and shot each other
Me and you, we both just can't go wrong

Face to face we hide from ourselves
Nowhere to run so we sit down in hotels
Well me and you, somehow we've got it wrong

You're summery, you're summery in Angus
You'll come to me and colour in the canvas
Make me believe the aurora’s all around us
You're summery, you're summery in Angus

When you’re up you like to discuss
You’re cirrus and I’m cumulonimbus
Well me and you, we have to get along

When times are hard you'll float through freely,
Lay right back but you know really 
That I’m a mess, you’ve known it all along

You're summery, you're summery in Angus
You'll come to me and colour in the canvas
Make me believe the aurora’s all around us
You're summery, you're summery in Angus

And true to form you’ll throw caution to the wind and carry on 
As I weather the storm

You’re summery and even when I fall to bits
You’ll cover me, we’ll make it through the thick of it

Summery In Angus
