LYRICS
Kent sparkles with pollution
I dream of living there
The wind turbines they gesture
Come home to where it's fair

Where flowers bloom in circuits 
And life's desexualised
There's hope across the Thames
You just have to arrive

Perhaps I'm the bad trip and you let me in

Hair dye, blu tack, techno, whiteboard, full-body fishnet, dishes in the sink
Solutions on the ceiling 
Hair dye, blu tack, techno, whiteboard, fish-body, full-net, put it in the sink
Solutions on the ceiling

Limp skin, clothes rail
Don't know where it happened and I don't know where to start
Seagulls make their choices 
I see them through the glass
Rub anger on the wall
Go home and buy a plant
Multivitamin back to health 

Freckles float in panic 
Your body will shut down
Good intentions elevate my skin
Foreign with the price of goodbye 

Freckles float in panic
Your body will shut down
Good intentions elevate my skin
Foreign with the price of good-

Bye a plant and take it on the tube
Cry until the toilet roll is through
Someone calls out:
I like your plant 
Me too
Dishes and leaves make acquaintance
The flat runs out of toilet roll

My friends draw on my legs in sharpie pen
I wake up and cannot get out of bed
Water runs grey in the shower
Water runs grey
Solutions on the ceiling

It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning
It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning 
It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning

My God looks just like yours I see it in the mirror hear a voice it's coming closer near and ripe with choice so nevermind the fish they may explode and kill my love looks just like God I feel it in the fish they kill with cause it's delicately done just like a birth so nothing will be lost except but then of course my art looks just like love I touch it with a fish and it explodes so nevermind the mystery of the curse it's only worth a song

The Upper World

It's Hard to Operate a Zip When You're Burning

Captain Space Titania and her space pirate crew are on a mission to find The Upper World. A forgotten phone charger, a Leonardo DiCaprio love affair and shocking betrayal all threaten the expedition’s success. As the band draw closer, the Captain is forced to confront her expectations: Is it the utopian paradise she had hoped for, or just a metaphor for enlightenment? Can technology and nature truly be reconciled? Will the band ever find their sound?
