VIDEO for Take Your Guess is here - http://youtu.be/oLAnfZR3BO8

I didn't walk how you said i should walk, i walk how i do walk, and that's fine 
I didn't go how you said it would go, it went how it did go, and that's fine. 

I look out the window somedays,i see a million ways and that's fine 
I didn't dance how i wanted to dance, i did a bit of prance and that's fine 

Take your guess, spurious at best, can't you see its all just chaos. 

I breathe in and then i breathe out, i've got a trillion doubts and that's fine 
I took a road that wasn't a road but it was something i chose and that's fine. 

Take your guess, spurious at best, can't you see its all just chaos. 
Take your guess, spurious at best, can't you see its all just chaos. 

I didn't go how you said it would go it went how it did go, and that's fine. 
Take your guess, spurious at best, can't you see its all just chaos.

Please come back to me darling 
I get restless when you're not around. 
I made a noise with a frying pan but 
There was no one to receive my sound 

But that said, that said, i like it when you're gone. 
That said, that said, i like when you're gone. 

Took your route to the postbox even though i'm not convinced its the best way. 
Had a nap under some lonely tree as the sun kissed the day. 

But that said, that said, i like it when you're gone. 
That said, that said, i like when you're gone. 

People talked some nonsense and i listened with blurry eyes. 
It wasn't as cool as your nonsense and it wasn't under your skies 

But that said, that said, i like it when you're gone. 
That said, that said, i like when you're gone.

Unsung don't say it, touch it, or replay it, it only happens once. 
So long to last lines, every time's the first time, i'm off to have some fun. 
A cauldron of potions, drops of the oceans, couldn't solve this one. 
As luck would have it i'm on the planet, and so it seems are you.

LYRICS: 
I loved you once and I’ll love you twice but love is cold and love aint nice and
He who loves well forgets slowly
I see your face from day to day, in a hundred years what will they say?
They’ll probably won’t say nothing cos we’ll be dead, wo 
I made your funeral speech in your head even though you’re not quite dead
And I thought I would have done things differently and
You know what ,I’ll do it all over again
You know what, I’ll do it all over again
 
It’s all just chapters in the end, some we receive and some we send and some
are just written really badly
A million words wouldn’t do the trick and love cannot build a bridge
You need construction workers for this
oh Love killed me with a thousand blades and gave me a melancholy phase
For he who loves well forgets slowly.
 
I loved you once and I’ll love you twice but love is cold and love aint nice and
He who loves well forgets slowly
I see your face from day to day, In a hundred years what will they say?
They’ll probably wont say nothing but
You know what ,I’ll do it all over again
You know what, I’ll do it all over again

LYRICS: 
He put it on his toast and those he liked the most 
He stole it from his cats and from the fishmonger 
He would run fast as he could His hat blew off in the wind 
He was a rapscallion It all was a game It all was game. 
Oh Toby Carr has got a difficult relationship with tuna 

In his school photo he held one high above his head 
So the future boys could see what he had done done done. 
  Oh Toby Carr has got a difficult relationship with tuna

In the dead of night, he drew them high on city walls 
In the light of day he showed the girl he loved Love love loved 
Oh Toby Carr has got a difficult relationship with tuna 

Oh the love did end , one day he found them sickening 
So he threw them all far into the sea 
They swam away from him, to the lows to the lows 
He waved goodbye to them from the coast, from the coast.

CYMBALS will launch their album with a headline show in London in February.
2nd Feb 2014 - Electrowerkz, London - www.wegottickets.com/event/246573

<b>Press release</b>
The long-awaited new album from CYMBALS is named after a book by Princeton academic, Daniel T. Rodgers, which addresses the fragmentation of ideas towards the end of the last century and how collective meanings have become uncertain.  Singer and guitarist Jack Cleverly writes: "It hit me that I often feel paralysed by the feeling that everything is 'too complicated', and that many people I know feel that paralysis. I realised that this way of thinking can be traced through these songs." 

Produced by Dreamtrak (Swim Deep, Chad Valley, Hot Chip) in his Hackney studio and written collectively over the last 12-months, the group have taken their time to carefully piece the album together, song-by-song, in sequence. The album was completed following a final mix from Daniel Rejmer (Foals, Everything Everything) and the result is testament to the band’s attention to detail: a cleaner, brighter sound than their brattier early recordings, edging towards the European sophistication of the end-of-the-century French house Jack grew up around. Singles 'Like An Animal', 'The End' and 'The Natural World' are characterized by an upbeat disco cool and all push the 7-minute mark, whereas ‘Winter 98’, ‘This City’, and ‘Call Me’ are brooding, stark synth-led numbers reminiscent of early-New Order, with some lyrics sung in Jack’s native French.

The literary inspiration runs further through the album. The track ‘The 5%’, more obviously making reference to the themes of the album's namesake, declares “Time can be erased, you’re stupid if you try and stay in place,” over a pulsing bassline and swirling electronics.  ‘Like an Animal’ is inspired by the intellectual and moral confusion of the main character in Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. The album has even garnered literary responses of its own by British poet and novelist Joe Dunthorne, author of Submarine.

“I told Joe about the book and the way the album was kind of a reaction to it, and he threw my rationalisation of it back at me through a short story inspired by the album.” says Cleverly. “It helped reveal the emotional territory of the songs. He showed me how I had been dividing things up artificially - desires and priorities, getting older and not being able to stop writing music…”
 
Through the writing of this album, CYMBALS have inevitably matured. “We've never been in it just for a laugh," says Cleverly; “but things got confused when we said we wanted to keep it fun – we just didn't want to end up bitter, having chased a hollow dream.  But this album is less about us; it's more outward looking, more aware of the world at large."  

Despite the weighty literary influences, the band are keen to separate themselves from the over-earnestness that can sometimes accompany such associations.  “I hate the whole 'serious earnest-singer-songwriter-thing,’” says Jack. “With this album I really wanted to get away from that and make music that makes people want to dance and feel joy. Neil's kick drum is the most important thing we have to say as a band. Is this all "fun"?  Yes, of course, but at the same time, not just that."

Bandcamp - tomrosenthal.bandcamp.com/album/b-sides

LYRICS: 
Pictures of a face
Descriptions of the day
I don’t know what to say about that

Pictures
Pictures of a face
Descriptions the day
He walked away
It was raining
And this pain in your heart never went
You never said
It would feel this way and I want you to stay
That’s not what I meant to say
But I mean it
I mean it
Yeah right
There’s your honesty
Honestly, I’m feeling fine
Intelligent design
Line of eye-shadow tears and more wine
I don’t mind if I do
Do you like my new shoes
Mums, dads and home truths

Like: what are we going to do about you
You used to be such a happy child
You dialled the number
Didn’t speak
How do new lovers meet
Incredible feats
Of bravery
Wavering baby steps favouring
Wild mood swings
We were never not quite on the brink
Not trying to not think
Of missed connections
Missing links
Rose tints
It’s just one of those things

 
Imagining you
It’s just one of those things we do

Things things
So many things
So much to say
Lonely strings
Catch the bouquet
Hey hey
Here’s your soulmate
Spinning plates
One topples
It’s too late
It breaks
Industrial estates
And a canvas of cannibals of our entwined fates
So let’s find a place
To be complete
Find names we repeat
Find signs in the names of her street
And when you sleep
It’s still there
Always there
In a necklace of amber
Take care
Of your paint and your brushes
You know the way she is
The way she pushes
A greater weight than a lifetime of crushes
Playing back the day’s rushes
Here’s the scene where you see him
And you don’t know what to say
And I don’t know what you say about that

Pictures of a face
I don’t know what to say about that
Descriptions of the day
He walked away

 

I suppose
Some boys
Spend their whole life joking
Reading lines like karaoke
And opening wounds
Tombs
Visiting unspoken rooms
In the Crowlands
No romance
No shall we dance
Circumstance
Limping men with beers cans
Fortunes old hands
Reading lines of love, life, good times and pretty bad plans
Plots and parades
Every day
Every night
The end was always in sight
And when it ends
It never ends
It descends
Into the centre of the earth
Wish this curse
Could be lifted
Sometimes the world makes me feel like I never existed
And I existed
When she was laughing

 

Pictures of a face
I don’t know what to say about that
Fortunes old hands
Overrunning the land with you
When you were laughing
When she was laughing

LYRICS: 
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

Watching you watching Youtube in the dark 
The pasta is done. The spirits are little low 

Sometimes nothing really happens in a day. 
Sometimes it grows, sometimes it wilts away. 

So i lie upon the bed look at the stars. 
So many lives and movements of the souls. 

Turn off the light say goodnight say goodnight.

VIDEO - http://youtu.be/FFAsvL--0Cw

Sit at the desk 
look at the screen 
think about the girl you could have been 
ponder your little big mistakes, 
and the difference they won't make 

city lights glow 
for the big show 
make it a bit of doe 
do what you know 
but if you cannot see the stars then 
you don't know where you are 

in the universe, really quite large 
put some perspective in your glass 
or you better prepare your frown 
for a life of sitting down 

your parents had sex
maybe you were planned 
maybe you were told that you were planned 
but the world can now confirm 
that you were the quickest sperm 

you were designed , designed to move 
so get a move on, sing a little song, 
pull a rabbit from a hat 
cos it won't be coming back 

Lighten up Roy 
feel a bit of joy, get a bit of romance in your loins, 
make love in the driving rain 
and continue the cosmic chain 

One goes out, one goes in, 
ones got great cheeky grin 
ones the captain of the sea 
don't take it all so seriously. 

You were the quickest little sperm.

All the nice things lie beneath. 

Southern man who grows and knows about plants.

The boy who wonders by the moons glow 
Most of this was never meant you know 
All the nice things lie beneath.
