Was it worth it for the view. 
It all looked good from up there. 
All the roses were in bloom. 
There was pollen in the air. 
It all comes and goes. 
It all comes and goes. 
All these woes. 

I put three daisies in the notebook 
And watched the petals all fall out. 
It made a mark upon the paper. 
A mark that could not be rubbed out. 

It all comes and goes. 
All these woes. 
All these woes.

Keep me here, my heart is near, my love has gone away. 
Tell me true, my heart is new, my love has gone away. 
It's ok i know someday i'm gonna be with you. 
It's ok i know someday i'm gonna be with you. 

Speak to me, my heart is free, my love has gone away. 
Tell me true, my heart is blue, my love has gone away. 
It's ok I know someday i'm gonna be with you. 
It's ok i know someday i'm gonna be with you.

LYRICS: 
It's nice in the morning, it's nice in the morning.
I've got butter on my bread 
i've got thoughts in my head. 

Its nice in the morning, it's nice in the morning 
I got the sun on my toast, 
i got the sun on my toast. 

It's nice in the morning. 
It's nice in the morning. 
The Quiet is the king, 
the breeze it does sing. 

You're nice in the morning 
You're nice in the morning 
You gaze into your brew 
Oh the morning was builtfor you. 

Its nice in the morning, 
Its nice in the morning 
I got my butter on my face 
She's got smiles on her face 
We got morning all over place

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

Bandcamp -goo.gl/248AK7

LYRICS: 
He knew all the waves
Some of them by name 
He kept them in a book 
One he called 'time'
And time was with him again 
Forming on the left 
What if this voyage 
would take him to death 
And if this was the end 
There was so much he wished, 
he wished he had said.

Reaching for the Book and Time, While Storms Form on the Left

Got to find me a face 
Have you seen my wife 
I'm looking for my life

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




Have We Met Before?

'Southern Man Who Grows and Knows About Plants' is available on:

Bandcamp - goo.gl/248AK7

Southern man who grows and knows about plants. 
Are you ok? Are you ok? 

The man who lies in fields is dying slow 
The boy who talks to trees is on his own 
Every road is just a field you know 
All the nice things lie beneath. 

Southern man who grows and knows about plants. 
Are you ok? Are you ok? 

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

Southern man who grows and knows about plants.  
Are you ok? 

Southern Man Who Grows and Knows About Plants

LYRICS: 
Look at every single eye 
They will all give you a clue. 

You are longer than the road and 
You will be home so soon 

Can you see the colours change? 
Are they blurring into shapes? 

One of you had a thought - 
Its time to make the great escape. 

Theres no sign of cars 
You're in the bicycle lane.
