Endless Summer

Up, down, all around
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah
Come down school is out
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah
All the nights when you come undone
You said, hold the fear cos you wanna have fun
And I said uptown, hear that sound
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah

The world belongs to us tonight
I'll meet you on the road outside

This town bring it down
All fed up of the rain and thunder
Yeah
Time to turn it round
Oh, or we're going under
Yeah
All the nights we were having fun
Remember, oh the feeling, well it's been too long
So I said somehow make it now
All I want in an endless summer
Yeah

The world belongs to us tonight
I'll meet you on the road outside

This is the night for it
And I will die trying to prove it
The circumstances fit
And I will die trying to prove it
This is the night for it
And I will try, try to prove it
The circumstances fit
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

My Tiger My Timing - Endless Summer

Demo of On My Record Player by My Tiger My Timing

Well you can't trust your heart and you can't trust your senses
so you go round again once more for luck
And when you go round where's the start, where's the ending?
You give up, you give up, you throw your hands up

All I can say is defined
by the letters, the words and the size of the paper
Listening to little lies
looking for answers on my record player

Is there a black hole in your eye?
Cos I'm afraid I'm falling in this time
Is there life on the other side?
I am afraid I'm running out of time

You think you want freedom, can you handle freedom?
You sleepwalk through daytime and stay up all night
Here are the answers, you've already seen them
Remember when you dream, you dream of real life

All I can say is decided
by the letters, the words and the size of the paper
Listening to little lies
looking for answers on my record player

Is there a black hole in your eye?
Cos I'm afraid I'm falling in this time
Is there life on the other side?
I am afraid I'm running out of time

Well you can't trust your heart and you can't trust your senses
so you go round again once more for luck
And when you go round where's the start, where's the ending?
You give up, you give up, you throw your hands up

My Tiger My Timing - Arm Around You (cover)

The second single by My Tiger My Timing, released October 2009.

At night we are alone
You keep your lights on, that's your medicine
Old dreams they come and go
Gonna keep your lights on, that's your medicine
And as we move in time
You feel the world turn, I am just the same
But more and more I find
You fear the changes, I am not afraid

I'm just trying to make it back home
I'm not trying to follow you
We are walking along the same road
I'm not trying to follow you

And I said all that I said only to give an answer

At least for your own sake
Don't bet your life on some new miracle
Our hearts are changing shape
Gonna bet your life on something physical
And as we move in time
You turn the sweetness into memory
Now you can do what you like
Cos we're not friends and we're not enemies

I'm just trying to make it back home
I'm not trying to follow you
We are walking along the same road
I'm not trying to follow you

England has all gone away
All away, I'm the sound
Everything's all gone away
But today, I'm the sound

I am the sound...

I'm just trying to make it back home
I'm not trying to follow you
We are walking along the same road
I'm not trying to follow you

My Tiger My Timing - I Am The Sound

Released as part of My Tiger My Timing's 2009 I Am The Sound EP.

In each and every instance
When we move some distance
To find the truth
In what we thought we knew

We spend our whole lives trying
To stop ourselves from lying
But what's the use
When either way we lose

I know I can make it
I know I can make it

That look you give me is frightening
And why I bother trying
To talk to you
I haven't got a clue

If feelings count for nothing
I'll just keep on running
I'll find the truth
It's what we always knew

I know I can make it
I know I can make it

Eyes on the horizon
Eyes on the horizon
I know I can make it
I know I can make it

My Tiger My Timing - The Distance

Come by air or come by road
Listen to the overload
We see space with different eyes
You play your game, I'll play mine

It's not giving up, it's breaking down
As far as secrets go, the word is out
Better to leave with bitter charm
This is not the fire, this is the false alarm

There is no need to regret
Things that have not turned out yet
Slowly travelling in time
You go your way, I'll go mine

It's not giving up, it's breaking down
As far as secrets go, the word is out
Better to leave with bitter charm
This is not the fire, this is the false alarm

All your failing, all your lies
Is there no one on your side?
All your failing, all your lies
Is there no one on your side?



My Tiger My Timing - This Is Not The Fire

Released as part of My Tiger My Timing's 2009 I Am The Sound EP.

Either we fight or we fall
The answer's in your heart
You have to ask you heart, your heart
You have to ask your heart

You never really listen
You never really know
All of us waste time, I know, I know
I don't wanna waste no more

You never even notice
You never even show
All of us are wrong sometimes, I know
I don't wanna wait no more

All your life
An S.O.S., oh
All your faded desires
An S.O.S., oh
Moments are lost in time
Like tears in rain

Either we fight or we fall
The answer's in your heart
You have to ask you heart, your heart
You have to ask your heart

I can only speak in sayings
You can only speak in tongues
The echo goes on and on and on and on
Waiting for a change to come

Now that the wind is blowing
Blowing all our words away
Here's a chance to start over again
Everything will be erased

All your life
An S.O.S., oh
All your faded desires
An S.O.S., oh
Moments are lost in time
Like tears in rain

Either we fight or we fall
The answer's in your heart
You have to ask you heart, your heart
You have to ask your heart

Memories of Earth

Oh tell me when the world is over
we survive, never growing any older
Here in space there is nothing to consider
Day or night, you can never tell the difference

You can never tell how much time
you can only choose what you leave behind
Memories of Earth make you cry
You don't have to waste, waste your time out here

Leaving kisses far behind you
Stargazing til a melody reminds you
Back at home, guess maybe you left your heart there
Without heart you are really going nowhere

You can never tell how much time
you can only choose what you leave behind
Memories of Earth make you cry
You don't have to waste, waste your time out here

I remember you saying you're lost and you'll never get back again
I remember you saying you're lost and you'll never get back again

Honest

Misery's no way to go
when you're out there on your own
I'll be honest with you
if you're honest with me too

And what you gonna have to show
if you're always losing hope?
It's never perfect or true
I'll be honest with you too

I don't wanna bring you down
but I think I'm losing count
of the times we've been through this
if I'm honest with you

You could spend your life in a daydream
thinking how you're gonna be something
but you spend your day doing nothing
I'll be honest with you

And you think you're gonna be something
but you spend your life in a daydream
and you spend day doing nothing
I'll be honest with you too

I'll be honest with you too

Well you can't trust your heart and you can't trust your senses
so you go round again once more for luck
And when you go round where's the start, where's the ending?
You give up, you give up, you throw your hands up

All I can say is defined
by the letters, the words and the size of the paper
Listening to little lies
looking for answers on my record player

Is there a black hole in your eye?
Cos I'm afraid I'm falling in this time
Is there life on the other side?
I am afraid I'm running out of time

You think you want freedom, can you handle freedom?
You sleepwalk through daytime and stay up all night
Here are the answers, you've already seen them
Remember when you dream, you dream of real life

All I can say is decided

Listening to little lies

After School

It never ends
I'm running, I'm running
And you cannot depend
in light of all this
Around again
I'm running, I'm running
So tell me where it stands
in light of all this

Up on a wire
Falling down

The school bell rings
over and over again
And every little thing
comes back to haunt me
I'm learning
everything new again
If I could only see
now what I knew then

Up on a wire
Falling down

It never ends
I'm running, I'm running
And you cannot depend
in light of all this

In light of all this

Let Me Go

Sitting here talking
talking 'bout your ideas
I could just say it
I wish I could say it
Oh I was just thinking
thinking 'bout the wrong way
to get your attention
I wish I could say it

Oh let me go

Read it in your starsign
you tend to overthink things
Sick of being lovesick?
So do something about it
Oh I am just a prisoner
locked inside your ribcage
stepping to your heartbeat
I wish I could say it

Oh let me go

I didn't want to end it like this
and I don't want a share in your money
I didn't want to end it like this
and I don't want a share in your money

Oh let me go

The Gold Rush

Well I know one thing, the house always wins
Everything you love and everything that you touch
they will use it up, it's never enough
You can spend your life just following the gold rush

You think you know someone so well
but you don't even know yourself
You think that's you're problem, I can't tell
Put your faith in something else

Now we're here in the valley looking for a ghost
If there's anything left I think they were mistaken
And all their gifts they look like gold
Everything these days is pale imitation

You think you know someone so well
but you don't even know yourself
You think that's you're problem, I can't tell you
Put your faith in something else

Oh, the world is in the palm of your hand
Oh, don't let it slip through your fingers

If you lost you heart, then it won't be long
And you bet your money, then your money is gone
Cos the West was won but now it's all done
So near, so far, so happy you could join us

You think you know someone so well
but you don't even know yourself
You think that's you're problem, I can't tell you
Put your faith in something else

Oh, the world is in the palm of your hand
Oh, don't let it slip through your fingers
Oh, the world is in the palm of your hand
Oh, don't let it slip through your fingers

You do it false, you get it wrong
You do it all false and then you get it all wrong

You think that you know someone so well

Written In Red

This cold war goes on and on
A heart, a bomb
We build a wall 
through every conversation
Words divide
I'm on your side
It's all so serious
you said it would be easy

Promises written in red
they stay true to the end
When I'm going out of my head 
I remember you said
You don't have to fear
You don't have to fear
I'm already here

Oh I think the world of you
so far removed
and me, a satellite, 
orbiting around 
You love to win
Breathe out, breathe in
It's all or nothing
you make it look so easy

Promises written in red
they stay true to the end
When I'm going out of my head 
I remember you said
You don't have to fear
You don't have to fear
I'm already here

I don't want to say
you know what they say
I don't want to say
You know what they say darling

Promises written in red
they stay true to the end
When I'm going out of my head 
I remember you said
You don't have to fear
You don't have to fear
I'm already here

Wasteland

You want love, oh you want ceremony
You want, you want education
You want a map, a map to show you where you're going,
it's not far in your imagination

I want to go to that place

To that place, oh to that mirror sea
To that place to fall into the ocean
And you fall, fall in love with everything
And you sleep, sleep with your eyes open

I want to go to that place

Your heart is in the quicksand
The stars are going out
Your heaven is a wasteland
You walk into the night

A new thought, something in the back of your mind
A new though, something doesn't feel right
Wake up, oh it was a trick of the light
or a dream, dreams are very lifelike

I want to go to that place

Your heart is in the quicksand
The stars are going out
Your heaven is a wasteland
You walk into the night
And do you know, do you know now
the stars are going out
And do you know, do you know now
You walk into the night

I want to go to that place

My Tiger My Timing - Wasteland

My Tiger My Timing was a five-piece synth pop band from New Cross in south-east London, formed in 2008 by Anna Vincent (vocals/synth), James Vincent (guitar/bass), Jamie Harrison (guitar/bass), Gary Drain (drums) and Seb Underhill (synth).  

Having previously played in local indie/post-punk groups The Total Drop and The Roaring Twenties, the members combined forces to embrace a more pop-centric sensibility, taking their name from the title of a song by New York experimental musician Arthur Russell, whose melancholic, heartfelt approach to electronic music was one on their early influences.

The band's debut singles This Is Not the Fire and I Am the Sound were produced by Andy Spence of New Young Pony Club and released in 2009 as part of the I Am the Sound EP, alongside two B-sides produced by Hot Chip's Joe Goddard.  The tracks featured on several compilations, including Kitsuné Maison Compilation 8 and Modular's 'Leave Them All Behind III' and the band also contributed a cover of Arm Around You to A Tribute to Arthur Russell which came on the Electric Minds label that year.

Following tours in the UK and Europe, and a run of festival appearances, including a slot on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury Festival in 2011, the band released third single Endless Summer through their own Snakes & Ladders label. The track was playlisted by BBC 6 Music and XFM and paved the way for a new, more live-influenced sound, with the band taking on production duties in the studio.

In November 2011, they released a fourth single, Written in Red with The Gold Rush following in June 2012 ahead of the release of debut album Celeste in July 2012. Final single Let Me Go was released in November 2012 and was named Single of the Week on BBC 6 Music.

The band is on indefinite hiatus as of 2014.  Anna Vincent and James Vincent went on to form dream-rock band Heavy Heart and Gary Drain, Jamie Harrison, and Seb Underhill now perform as Glowing Sun.
