LYRICS: 
The boy sits in a field tall grass above his head, and he’s thinking of the path that his ancestors did tread and as he’s dreaming of the future a mist does descend, and he wonders if this is the beginning or this is the end 

And out of the mist a tall creature does appear, his eyes wide and friendly, his face full of years , he says “we’re going on a journey in my hot air balloon, and the time is now so we must get going soon”. 

They flew over the houses and the streets they use to know, over trains going fast and people going slow, there were snow on the mountains and boats on the sea, and there were lovers in the forest carving their names into a tree 

The boys says “where are we going, where are we going to, I’m scared of the future and I’m mildly scared of you, the creature looked down and said “don’t be scared of the unknown”, we’re going to a place in which I have grown 

With a sudden gush of wind the balloon fell from the sky, and the boy shut his eyes and hoped he wouldn’t die, the creature was calm, he had done this before so he landed the hot air balloon and he opened the door 

The boy walked out and he couldn’t believe his eyes, there was a flock of sheep floating through the skies followed by a magic carpet on which their shepherd did fly and the boy wondered what was going on. 

So he walked through this land with the creature by his side, to his left was a painter, painting the tides, and to his right a pack of wolves did cry to the rise and fall of the moon. 

They entered the forest and the trees they hung low, everything was dark and nothing there did grow apart from a single yellow rose that the boy put in his hair 

Out of the forest, the snow it did fall, the creature held an umbrella high above the boy then out the of snow appeared an empty platform, and they waited patiently for a train 

From far in the distance a train did arrive with a thousand polar bears passengers inside, the creature said to the boy “are you ready for the ride” and the boy said” yes I think I am” 

So they sped through the hills and over mountains they did go, over old wooden bridges withered from the cold, and the boy stared out of the window and smiled at all he could see 

They travelled through the desert to the setting sun, over streams and rivers to where it all begun, and through the wind and the rain until the days were done, they rode through the land 

All of a sudden, the train it did stop, the creature said to the boy “this is where we both get off”, and all the polar bear climbed to the top of the train to wave their goodbyes

The pair, now alone, walked through a featureless land, no blade of grass, no grain of sand, and on the horizon a great sea did stand and creature said “ this is where I must go” 

At the waters edge, nothing more was said, the boy looked at the creature, not a single tear was shed, and the creature laid his hand upon the boys head, and gave him a wink of his eye 

The creature turned around and walked slowly to the sea, to go to a place where forever he would be, and with one great leap he leapt into sea and in the blink of an eye he was gone. 

The boy stood still, alone now on the shore, he stared into the distance and hoped there would be more, and the yellow rose it fell to the floor and drifted away on the wind.

LYRICS: 
Run for, run for those hills babe 
let go of the dark days. 
let go of the world 

Make it all up as you dance along 
just like we all have done, 
for all of our lives. 

The kingdom is yours 
the seas the shores, 
it's like you've only just arrived. 

Dive in, the water will be lovely, 
go keen and go boldly 
go wherever they sing 

It all comes, it all comes when 
it wants to, not when you want it to, 
at the strangest times. 

The kingdom is yours 
the seas the shores, 
its like you've only just arrived. 

Unknown is king 
your eyes will bring 
all you need to survive 

Let's go, half an ear on the radio, 
life was made moons ago, 
somewhere behind those skies.

Run for, run for those hills babe 
let go of the dark days. 
let go of the world.

Bolu

LYRICS: 
Theres a panda in the chandelier 
Oh what have we got here? what have we got here?

Well i'll tell you how it got up there 
This is a story of a young girls flair   
for throwing pandas 

It was her fathers friends wedding day 
and she was dragged along, as is the way, 
for the poor young ones. 

As the big people did their thing 
the panda bear she did swing 
oh the panda bear 
flung through the air 

Well a serious man with a frown 
came with a ladder and took it down, 
aren't ladders handy 

He had never seen this happen before 
Pandas normally stick to the floor 
Call it good timing 

And you got your panda back 
you got your panda back 
you got your panda back 
and your were happy about that

Bandcamp -tomrosenthal.bandcamp.com/album/bolu

LYRICS:
Everyone is everyone else 
Take a picture of yourself 
Look around for those you know 

Variations on a theme 
the minds creations, 
the body dreams 

Go find your genealogies and you'll see 
We're all babies making stories, stories.

Everyone is everyone else 
We all have felt the way you felt 
The tragedy of different times 

Your enemy he goes to bed 
Thinks upon the words unsaid, 
The tragedy of distant minds 

Variations on a screen
The minds creations, 
The body dreams. 

Everyone is everyone else 
roll the big dice for yourself 
the covers and the book within 

Go find your genealogies and you'll see 
We're all babies making stories, stories 
We're all babies making stories, stories 

Everyone Is Everyone Else

If you're having troubles babe hit them with beams 
You've got 99 problems and all of them dreams. 
Life will give you something like an ebb or a flow 
Stare them right in the eyes babe and give it a go. 

Oh don't you shy away your heart beats the day 
Oh time is not alone with you. 

Oh don't you shy away your heart beats the day
Oh time is not alone with you. 
Oh don't you shy away your heart beats the day 
Oh time is not alone with you. 
Oh don't you shy away your heart beats the day
Oh time is not alone with you.

Don't wait, oh waiting's for losers, losers are late. 
Mum knows, i've travelled the sunsets waiting for you. 

Did you ever see the faces of the moon? I promise you

Did ever wish the keys were in the door? I promise you love it opened before. 

Don't hide, oh hiding to nothing, nothing to hide.
My shoes, they've worn out the long roads hiding from you. 

Did you ever see the faces of the moon? I promise you 
love there's one or two. 
Did ever wish the keys were in the door? I promise you love it opened before. 

All the losers are late, darling. If you like it don't wait. 
All the losers are late, darling. If you want it don't wait. 

Did you ever see the faces of the moon? I promise you 
love there's one or two. 
Did ever wish the keys were in the door? I promise you love it opened before.

LYRICS: 
You looked liked Pingu in the Igloo 
Your nose was cold , you showed me the icicle, that you found, hanging from the roof 

I remember your entrance to the room i was in and the 
half pint glass you were holding, that made you look bigger than you were

You drew a charming stick man on my left hand and you told me not to wash it off. 
we loved you, we loved you.

I heard you say, meet you in the long grass, 
Something good at long last, and we're away. 
Next to me, found you by the old tree, something we can both see, and we're away. 

Oh let's run away and not know where we're going to. 
Let's go for today and it's all going to be wonderful. 

Oh oh oh oh 

Far away, find us in the future, something in your nature 
and we're away. 
What d'you say, might you be the seaside, somewhere we can both hide, and we're away. 

Oh let's run away and not know where we're going to. 
Let's go for today and it's all going to be wonderful. 
Oh let's run away and not know where we're going to. 
Let's go for today and it's all going to be fine.

are you thinking
is she close
do you struggle with umbrellas
are you leaving
are you home
have you timed this badly
have we met before

are you staying
did you fall
can you count to ten in German
can you whisper
can you lie
did you design your own website
have we met before

are you sleeping
are you wise
what can you see from your window
are you hungry
are you calm
are you on a great adventure
have we met before

are you reading
did you choose
can you see into the future
are you listening
are you scared
will you know it when you see it
have we met before
