Hounds

lyrics:
You ask how much I love you  
I'll tell you true   
Until the Twelfth of Never 
I'll still be loving you 

Hold me close 
Never let me go  
Hold me close
Melt my heart, like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells
Forget to bloom 
and baby I'll love you 'til the roses 
have lost their perfume 

And I’m gonna love you 'til the poets
Run out of rhyme 
Until the Twelfth of Never 
And that's a long, long time

twelfth of never (nina simone cover)

lyrics:
I awoke early this morning only to find
No space in my heart, even less in my mind
The smell on the ground outside just seemed to scream
Of everywhere we’d been, everything that we’d seen

Here in the snow, where I first let you go
It plagues my heart, how it all fell apart
I always thought, we would be, tapestry
Together entwined, now this dream, it has died

Every instance I mistook your shape asleep
It’s like I’m stumbling out of myself and into a scene
There’s a plummeting weight that I can hardly explain
It’s more than I can take, more than I can contain

Here in the snow, where I first let you go
It plagues my heart, how it all fell apart
I always thought, we would be, tapestry
Together entwined, now this dream, it has died

Swum Baby EP: pumablue.co.uk/release/158521-puma-blue-swum-baby-ep

Lyrics:
Pick up the fuckin phone
I need a warmth of your tone
Got my first 20 straights
Just to smoke it up alone

This is isolation
This is demon bliss
Could I reach for her kiss
Could I reach for her kiss

If I’m swum baby it’s not your fault
I always sunk, I always sunk
You ain’t used to a boy who bleeds to the moon
It ain’t your fault, I’d sink in salt

Scarlet fingers I could move through you
But to drown you to disgrace fumes
This is isolation
This is demonic bliss
Could I reach for her kiss
Could I reach for her kiss

Rhetoric verses I could spill
Only to find/drown myself to limbo wish
This is whisky
This is ocean bed
Baby let it take me instead
Let it take me instead

~
Twisted dark sister ‘round my finger I wish
 Streak of blue, linger you, I feel no kiss 
Creature of my desire, takes us higher 
To not hold your face or feel your embrace, is why I waste

But she’s just a phase, just a phase 
Boy yeah she’s easy to replace 
She’s just a phase, just a phase
 Boy yeah you’re tripping out where you lay

Silently delighted, I am poisoned slow 
These emerald eyes, reveal that I got to let her go
 Bleeding out my reasons, till the red reaches the ceiling 
Flock of you, flutters through, I wonder if she knew

But she’s just a phase, just a phase 
Boy yeah she’s easy to replace
 She’s just a face, just a daze 
Boy next to you she’ll never lay

(She's) Just A Phase

Innocent bullshit
Warm but not in love
I see what you are tryna pull
Well please don’t let yourself think that u
Could get away with it, you sexy little thing 

She’s just a tease
Completely at ease
She’s just a tease

Moon under water
You would not know what to do with the words that you drained from the room
You flirt, it’s dirt, the way you treat your boy
The poor son, he’s so in love with a sexy little thing 

She’s just a tease
Completely at ease
She’s just a tease

Moon under water, you could not know what to do if I fell,  took you to the blue
So don’t speak, don’t explain
How you could bleed this boy
He is numb, so in love, with a sexy little thing 

Won’t you swim with me

Oh moon
With all of your grief
Won’t you set these seas aside for me
So I may lay eyes upon my sweet, sweet moon

She’s just a tease
She's such a tease
She's just a tease

Lyrics: 
Stood in your last breath, couldn’t believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton, faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret, you were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear coulda made me cry
…
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves,
ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
…
Gotta stay strong for the little one, who found you in your room
Gotta strong for our mumma who, would take the blame however true
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night
When we nearly couldn’t choose
I broke down outside the room
…
I’m praying you survive
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves,
ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
…
Except for the ends of you, where’s that little girl I knew

Lyrics:
Oh this perfume
Must be something sacred
To linger after you, like it do
This scent’s been buried where I rest my head
Pretend to forget but,
it still feels like you
...
I must be losing my mind 
I must be losing my mind
I thought I left you behind
I must be losing my mind
...
Sleep much longer than I did before
Though haunted are dreams evermore
Bless these angels hanging over my head
(It’s) still as a tomb though I’m scared instead
... 
I must be losing my mind
I must be losing my mind
I thought I left you behind
I must be losing my mind, oh... 
I must be losing my mind
I must be losing my mind
Oh you left so much behind 
I must be losing my mind
Oh…

vocals, guitars, bass, drum programming, string arrangements - Jacob Allen
rhodes, synth, sax, string arrangements, additional production - Harvey Grant
cello - Matthew Roberts
violin - Tim Gardner

lyrics:
Well this dream, this dream could be the death of me 
Struggle in these sheets, oh I feel I can’t breathe
This smoke, it fills my head
I’m spun over a thread
Sideways stuck into your stare, but I’m filled with dread
Well I’m sure it’s not what you meant to say, but you said it anyway
The sweet subtlety of your perfume, but it escapes the room, it escapes the room
...
And I’m never gonna hear your tones bleed through
and I’m already falling in love, with the shape of you, with the shape of you
...
Oh this dream could be the death of me (In my worst dreams I paid a cost)
As I struggle to see what’s left of me (Sweet subtlest prisoner)
These colours you left, all over the bed
They turn me in my grave
...
Oh and I’m never gonna hear your tones bleed through
and I’m already falling in love, with the shape of you, with the shape of you
