2024 : Not You, Naan Bread.

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down.

The value of your virtue.
Is decided by someone.
Whom on a glancing glance at you.
Decided you were wrong.
"You'll never be a prince or king.
You can not wish for everything.
You'll not amount to anything.
There's nothing in this life."

Now, there's a lesson somewhere. 
But, I don't think it's begun.
And I can't help from smiling.
As I'm sitting 'neath the sun
"I won't worship commodities.
I feel like doing as I please.
Don't fancy falling, sprawling.
Pleasing every single one."

I declare that there is nothing I can do to win.
Put out there, that I won't try.
Don't know where to begin.
I declare that I will make the best of what I have.
I declare I don't agree that everything is bad.
I declare that I will take what I can get for free.
I declare that looking down is not the remedy.
I agree that any pen can conquer any knife.
I will not take your holiday.
I'd rather live a life.

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down. 

Oh, mother won't you give me.
Some of your advice for free.
Because, when I tried to join them all.
They up and raised the fee.
"I'll never find the golden key,
Upon the ledge of destiny.
Some people are just born lucky.
And I'm not one of them."

I'll never be a player.
Who sits playing his french horn.
I'd never be a doctor.
In the caste where I was born.
"Seems while we choose our destiny.
We only choose periphery.
There's many things you could not be.
Whatever choice you took."

I declare in spite of this, I'm aiming for the win.
I believe that at the starts, the right place to begin.
I declare that I might fly before I learn to run.
I believe that everything is okay in the sun.
I declare that I won't work, to work another another day.
I believe there's gotta be some other better way.
I declare that any pen can conquer any knife.
I declare through everything. 
I'm gonna live a life.

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down.

I Declare

If I lost you.
Would I be free?
Would I still be marking time?
Could I be me?
If I lost you.
What would life be?

If I lose you.
Along the way.
Oh, when I stop breathing, child.
Throw me in my grave.
If I lose you.
What could I do?

Oh, you stab me in the back
and I'm supposed to cry that you're leaving? 
I spent too many nights worrying over you.
You take the place above me.
You always said  I was reaching.

I'll watch my back, alright.
Going out tonight.
Find myself a girl. 
There's plenty in the world.

Oh, there's a fish.
Swimming in the sea.
Oh, the birds keep flying.
Because they are free.
If I lost you.
I'd keep on through.

Oh, we all have time.
And then we don't.
Well, I'm done with dying now.
Over wills and wonts.
If I lost you.
I'd pull on through.

Oh, you stab me in the back,
And I'm supposed to cry that you're leaving? 
I spent too many nights worrying over you.
You take the place above me.
You always said that I was reaching.

I'll watch my back, alright.
Going out tonight.
Find myself a girl. 
There's plenty in the world.

If I Lost You

Yeah, something always pops up.
To blacken up your eye.
So watch out what you're doing, son.
You ain't supposed to fly.
Your mentors were all absent,
and there wern't no reason why.
Watch away your wishes as they float off in the sky.

Cos, they'll never pick you,
They'll try to change your ways.
You'll never be a part of them.
You're from another place.
The mistakes that you were making,
As the future ran up fast.
Watch away your wishes as they float off in the grass.

Does time fly slow when you are sad?
The moment drags.
When you're not sure which way to go.
It must go slow.

Hope, something, somewhere comes along,
to brighten up your day.
You'll never be a millionaire,
Not in it for the pay.
There's no point in worrying or searching for the whys.
Watch away your wishes as they float off in the sky.

As you get older, time goes fast.
Your moments passed.
You can't be sure which way to go.
You'll never know.

So, don't let them kid you.
It is, as always, was.
Nothing really changes much.
Just nod up to the gods.
The divide in this country, oh, it isn't race, it's class.
Watch away your wishes as they float off in the grass.
Watch away your wishes as they float off in the grass.

Watch Away Your Wishes

Soft as cream.
Your waters wouldn't muddy a stream.
Just a blowhard.
All your wildest schemes 
They contain nothing at all.

The places you say you've been.
Found a quiet little corner to live in your dreams
Save your plastic pleas.
You're crazy.
Ooft, you're so hard.

Now, you want to think about it.
What is there to think about?
Now that you're all alone.
Sat on your phone.
Just a constant drone.
Now you wanna talk it out.
Always gotta talk about.
What is there to talk about?
You're just alone.
Boy, you should have known.

Summer breeze.
Floating on a high from the bennies kicking.
Pocket full of empty, candid, claptrap.
Outside, mafting, saucer, rat-trap.

It's hard to change.
When you've never even seen your own face.
When you can't decide which one to replace.
And which one to wear today.

Now you wanna think it out.
What is there to think about?
Now that you're all alone.
Sit on your phone.
Emit your constant drone.
Now you wanna talk it out.
Always gotta talk about.
What is there to talk about?
You're just alone.
Boy, you should have known.

Now you wanna think it out.
What is there to think about?
Now that you're all alone.
Sit on your phone.
Emit your constant drone.
Now you wanna talk it out.
Always gotta talk about.
What is there to talk about?
You're just alone.
Boy, you should have known.

When you look in the mirror.
Do you know who you face?
You're never gonna get out of this place.

Talk It Out

A little bit of something you can't hold.
For a little bit of something laced with gold.
A little bit of shelter from your greed.
For a little bit of something we all need.
We're all found out.
Goes round about.

Mother, take this pain from me.
I just can't use it anymore.
Why, when I'm tired, I just can't sleep. 
Can hear your wolves outside my door.
We've all missed out.
Were down and out.

You made your promises.
Sound so sweet.
And now there's nothing left.
Dead on my feet.
I'm dying on my feet.

We've all got a little piece of all.
All the places where we take the fall.
A little bit of whimsy soothes the soul.
A little bit of money pays the toll.
We're all let down.
We've all been around.

Brother, take this pain from me.
I just can't feel it anymore.
A lack of courage for the deed.
A lack of wisdom in the store.
We all rush round.
Their round about.

You took your promises.
And cast them to the wind..
You left me wondering...
Sounded so sweet.
Now, I'm dying on my feet.

You made your promises.
Sound so sweet.
And now there's nothing left.
Dead on my feet.
I'm dying on my feet.


Dead On My Feet

Whilst seeking out light in the dark.
You whispered and put out your spark.
Supposedly seeking out truth.
You wandered in amongst the brutes.

Oh, Ozymandias, you are.
But you didn't fall very far.
The never-ending stretch of sands,
And every bit flows through your hands.

You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Oh, you howled at the sight of the moon.
You wanted to be me.
You wanted to temper the shock.
Took your shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
 
You sought out the secret too soon.
The dog star arriving in June.
You barely remembered the tune.
you drank up your fill of the moon.

A beautiful, terrible mind.
Beware spake the sign of the sign.
Your arrow is shot falling down.
You'll never escape from this town.

You wanted to be me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Did it all by the light of the moon.
You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I'm not.
Took a shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.


Blood Orange Moon

Forcing down this drink.
I never stop to think.
Guess I forgot. (Guess I forgot)
Can't ever stop these shakes.
Or another pill to take.
A day to blot (To blot)
Oh, what am I to do?
Can't make it without you.
I had my shot. (My shot)
Who was I supposed to be?
It's easier to see.
Who I am not. (I'm not)

I know that I'm a dickhead on the drink.
I know I'm only made of what they think.
I know reality is what they saw.
I think I always hoped for something more.
Says a lot.

I never wanted change.
Another rearrange.
I've said my lot. (My lot)
Sat firmly back in place. 
Gave up on the chase.
I've been forgot. (Forgot)
Oh, what am I to do?
Happy without you.
To have's, have not. (Have not)
Which one then is me?
I lost it in the we.
I am, am (I) not? (Am not)

I know that I'm a dickhead in the drink.
I know I'm only made of what they think.
I know reality is what we found.
I always looked for something in the sound.
Says a lot.

Says A Lot

There's a murmur.
On the breeze,
There is holding on as you float out at sea.
There's a love song.
That we waived.
There's a cradle. 
There's a grave.

There's a fractured melody.
There are people having riots in the street.
Life's a journey.
On the dole.
You do not get the time to work out any goals.
A quiet murmur.
Save your soul.

There's a murmur,
On the wind.
It's impossible to know where to begin.
Give your labour.
To your love.
You will always feel that judgment from above.

All the shouting,
From the screen.
When we turned it off, they did not have the means.
There is black,
and there is white.
There is half a chance that neither one is right.
Just a murmur.
Of a fight.

There's a man who.
Went to space.
When he crashed to earth, they didn't know his face.
There's a road to Mandalay.
Why are you so bothered what them people say?

Something changing.
For the good.
Someone helping you to navigate the woods.
Something growing.
Something strong.
It'll be alright if you ignore what's wrong.
Just a murmur.
Just a song.


Murmur

Into your ball.
No shadow to cast on the wall.
Into your dreams.
Blue and rocking, like the sea had been that night.

The dawn adorns.
You feel just like you're floating alone.
Turn 'way from light.
Just give me another moment alone with the night.

Caught by a glance of the light from the silvery moon.
Oh, it's you. 
I thought I was alone in the night. 
Caught by surprise by the light of the silvery moon.
Full moon.
I thought I was alone in the night.

The sky grows pale.
Find your spot underneath the sail.
The rocks surround.
An undulating mass of dry ground sprung up out of the night 

The daylight shows.
The paths where all the people must go.
They hurry by.
Their shadows so long as they emerge from the dark of the night.

Caught by a glance of the light from the silvery moon.
That'll do. 
Floating in the un-ending night. 
Caught by surprise by the light of the silvery moon.
Full moon.
I thought I was alone in the night.

Caught by a glance of the light from the silvery moon.
Oh, it's you. 
I thought I was alone in the night. 
Caught by surprise by the light of the silvery moon.
Full moon.
I thought I was alone in the night.


Full Moon

In The Land of Grey and Pink [Caravan Cover]

The glass is half empty,
The glass is half full, 
I suppose it depends on the day.

Just leave me alone.
Let my gamble my throne.
Let me throw all my efforts away.

The half moon peeks over the crest hill.
Lest the wolves are not done for the day.

Let them leave me alone.
Let me gyre and gimble in space.

Like the earth holds the moon on a string.
The edge of the universe can not begin.
If you'd do, you could do anything.
If you could stop sinking so.
Down low.
Down low.
Down low.

Oh, what was I thinking?
And what was the cost?
All the years spent trying to begin.

Give me my home, and a room of my own.
A shiny cold throne where the north-easter blows.

The glass sits half empty.
So fill it with gold.
It's been years since I've cared for your ways.

Let me prove that I've grown.
Let me gyre and gimble in space.

Like a cup and a ball on a string.
The dragonfly beats butterfly on the wing.
You just did. You could do anything.
If you could stop thinking you're...
Down low.
Down low.
Down low.

Like the absense of reason you bring.
The man who had nothing could gain everything.
Like a cup and a ball on a string.
You could stop sinking so.
Down low.
Down low.
Down low.

Down Low

There's a light in the sky.
There's a light in your eyes.
Out of the dreaming, the world comes alive.
There's a light in the space.
There's a light in your mind.
After the dreaming, a world came alive.
Out of the darkness emerges the light.

Brought down by freak minds.
You fell by the way side.
They found out.
You were the last to know.
Sent where the wind blows.
Give me a free mind.
Keep the rest.
 I'll stay on side.
Held on to finally let it go.
The shadows only showed you toward the light.
After the dream...
You come alive.

There's a small glint of light.
In the corner of your mind.
Out of the darkness, you rose toward the light.
There was light at the start.
There is light at the heart.
Out of the dreaming emerges the light.
After the darkness is pierced by the light.

Dragged up, paid no mind.
You drifted toward the dark side.
No idea where to go.
Found out too slow.
Give me my free mind.
Forget your downsides.
Held on to finally let it go.
The darkness only guides you toward the light.
After the dream...
There comes your life.

Hold up the light.
To guide you home.

Preyed upon by strong minds.
Pressed up. 
Passed by.
When they make cuts.
You'll be the first to go.
The light from your window.
Forget your freak mind.
I'll get there in my own time.
Hold on. 
Or let it go.
The tunnel only leads towards the light.
Out of the dark...
You come to light.

Brought down by freak minds.
You fell by the way side.
They found out, you were the last to know.
Sent where the wind blows.
Give me a free mind.
Keep the rest, I'll stay on side.
Held on to finally let it go.
The shadows only showed you toward the light.
After the dream... 
You come alive.


The Light

If I could conjure fortune up with fame.
And treat those two imposters just the same.
If I am flicker, a shadow, a moment in time.
Then I am a whisper, a headache, a 6 am. line.

Watch back, stat attack, deary me.
My apple took a fall from a golden tree.
Oh, what are you seeing when you look at me?
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to survive.

The wind that blew away the dust and rot.
The same wind blew away the elder gods.
If I'm on a golden star, spinning a circle in time.
How can I be staring out into space in a line?

Hold back, black jack, twenty-three.
My apple didn't fall far from that tree.
Oh, I am my own, and I will always be.
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to get by.

The sun that weaves its path across the sky.
Will carry on the same after you die.
If I am a small part of all that has happened before.
How is it fair that I can never know what's in store?

Sad sack, hold back, deary me.
My apple took a fall from the golden tree.
Oh, what am I seeing when I look at me?
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to the...

Hard tack, take back, birds and bee.
My apple didn't fall far from that tree.
Oh, I am my own, and I will always be.
I'm alive.
Trying to find a way to survive.

The Apple And The Tree

Home is the place where we live.
Home is the place where you learn to forgive.
Home's where you build up your fire.
Home is the place where you crawl up inside her.
Down in the night.
It'll be right.
In the morning.

Home is the place you belong.
Home is a place where you can't stay for long.
Home is the time at your side.
Home is the place where you play out the ride.
Dark is the night.
But it's all alright.
In the morning.

Give me some time.
Get my ducks in a line.
Though we're all short of time.
Take me home.
Faded or not
I'll be taking my shot.
Trying to stop this rot.
Take me home.

Home places logs by the fire.
Home is a place where you're joined up with wire.
Home is a light in the dawn.
Home is the piled dirty clothes you have worn.
Meanwhile, there's the night.
Turn off the light.
To them all.

Give me a throw.
Get my ducks in a row.
We'll be watching them go.
Take me home.
I'm fading away.
But won't sink into grey.
It'll all be okay.
Take me home.

Give me some time.
Get my ducks in a line.
Though we're all short of time.
Take me home.
Now faded or not
I'll be taking my shot.
Trying to stop this rot.
Take me home. 

They said that we'd never make it.
What do they know?
Girl, we never made it.
Lost in the night.
Worked out alright.
Now, will you please take me home. 


Home

Satellite, I see you flying through the sky.
Can you tell me why you've gotta get so high?
I have never seen such motion all my life.
Satellite, you shine your light and pass on by.

Satellite, what is the purpose of your being?
I can't comprehend the sights that you have seen.
I have no idea what they have got in store.
Satellite, they always seem to want some more.

Straight lines cross the sky.
The stars are left behind.
The grandeur of the moon.
Is crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite.

Satellite, I stand here staring from the ground.
While you watch us up in space, recording sound.
Satellite, who sent you up to spy on me?
You were only supposed to help us become free.

Satellite, a glowing tin can full of war.
Falling sideways past the earth outside my door.
Are you filling up on data from ruskies?
Satellite, one day you'll bring us to our knees.

Soaring cross sun-rays.
You transmit through the haze.
A howl up to the moon.
It's crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite. (x4)

Satellite

Sneaky Russian, how do you do?
Bet we're thinking just the same as you.
Should we give ourselves a talking to?
What a world.
Oh, American, how do you plead?
Bet you'd like to see us on our knees.
Are you too wrapped up with greed?
To make it work.

Standing out in the crowd.
Why you all gotta talk so loud?
And what's made you so proud?
Of all your words.
Oh, china-man what do you say?
Could we all be friends one day?
Shall we put the bad things away?
We can all be here to stay.
I guess our time is running out.

Can't you all just get along?
We can't all sing the same song.
When neither one is wrong.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.

Half cut with my friends.
We're sorting through.
We'll sort it out.
This world spins round.
Within or without. 

Three sheets to the wind.
We're sorting out.
Just sorting through.
Without a clue.
We lack the clout.
To figure it out.

Sneaky Russian hasn't the means.
The follow up to having a dream.
Contemplating some expensive jeans?
But they are cursed.
You Americans a-wouldn't know.
Why they made the flowers grow.
Not everything's for show.
Some things are work.

Them chinaman digging the ground.
While we're all just fooling around.
Work sixteen hour days.
So the outcome might be swayed.
I guess our time is running out.

Well then Russian what do you say?
Could we make it up to you some way?
The clock keeps ticking on.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.

Half cut with my friends.
We're sorting through.
We'll sort it out.
This world spins round.
Within or without 

Three sheets to the wind.
We're sorting out.
Just sorting through.
Without a clue.
We lack the clout.
To figure it out.

The workers plod along.
The fighting carries on.
And on, and on, and on.
Om.

Sneaky Russians

Oh, the thought came to me.
Though it may have been a dream.
Am I floating alone in the void?
Now we all have to pay.
For our days with no consequences.
Are we drifting slowing away?
Away.

Now we're hoping to get away.
Hoping to find a way home.
You were always eclectic.
But your dreams were always on your own.
Now you've nothing to show for it.
Nothing but skin on your bones.
Can you atone?
All alone.

Now, the thought disagreed.
Was it part of some strange dream?
Where I'm floating alone in the void.
Now, we all have to say.
That we're happy with our choices.
But that doesn't make it so.
Not so.

Now we wait for our getaway.
Hoping to make ourselves whole.
We were thinking eccentric.
But our dreams were always our own.
Now we've nothing but empty.
Pockets of misery sown.
It's been shown.
All alone.

Now we're hoping to get away.
Hoping to find your way home.
You were always eclectic.
But your dreams were always on your own.
Now you've nothing to show for it.
Nothing but skin on your bones.
Can you atone?
All alone.

A Dream

God, give me style and give me grace.
Give me something I can grow.
Give me something I can taste.
Now, give me somewhere just to be.
Give me rock and give me roll.
Give me heart and give me soul.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley which no light can penetrate.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm when you sink into the waste.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

You, give me the freedom to use.
Give me fire for the fuse.
Give me someone as a muse.
Now, tell me what you wanna be?
Give me pockets full of sight.
Give me strength to win the fight.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley that no light can enter in.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm in which I can sink within.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

I'm falling.
Deep is the valley which no light can penetrate.
I'm falling.
Deep is the chasm when you sink into the waste.
I'm falling.
Out. Out.

I'm Falling

Retail park shark.
Swimming in a foot spa.
Living in a fast car.
Asking where the birds are.
This must come naturally to you?
You are not real but I have seen your face.
You're a picture on the fireplace.

Low pain, high bar.
Asking not to get far.
Top rat, smack hat.
Trying to sell his old tat.
You can not ask me for a clue.
The portrait of a piss artist, staggered in middle age.
Just sat there waiting to be saved.

Watch out cause all the foxes will come at you with a smile.
They'll help you for a while.
Help you for a while.

It's easier to fool you than to tell you you've been fooled.
I didn't make the rules.
You can not know the rules.

Clever fox, treasure box.
Find what was lost.
Cold in November.
We won't be remembered.
You can not tell me what to do.
The man who wanted everything, ending on microfiche.
I guess he didn't get his wish.

Watch out cause all the foxes will come at you with a smile.
They'll help you for a while.
Help you for a while.

My Grandad gave my nose a tweak and told me I was bad.
She's the best I ever had.
The best I ever had.

Lyrics

Whilst seeking out light in the dark.
You whispered and put out your spark.
Supposedly seeking out truth.
You wandered in amongst the brutes.

Oh, Ozymandias you are.
But you didn't fall very far.
The never ending stretch of sands,
And every bit flows through your hands.

You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Oh, you howled at the sight of the moon.
You wanted to be me.
You wanted to temper the shock.
Took your shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
 
You sought out the secret too soon.
The dog star the arriving in June.
You barely remembered the tune.
you drank up your fill of the Moon.

A beutiful, terrible mind.
Beware spake the sign of the sign.
Your arrow is shot fallingdown.
You'll never escape from this town.

You wanted to be me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Did it all by the light of the moon.
You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I'm not.
Took a shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.

Blood Orange Moon [Mariosyjp Remaster]
