This is Mono Clones

It’s half past time to go, I know
But I don’t wanna leave your place so soon
You know what I want to achieve
With this choreography that I’ve been using
To get close to you
But you don’t seem to find that so amusing
That’s nothing new but you don’t show
Compassion when you say that maybe I should go
I reckoned I could stay
For that one last drink that always made us miss
That special song
The one that always lead up to a kiss
I was so wrong

I must have missed your cue
“Sober up and shut it”
You’d heard that spiel, you knew
the right time to cut it
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.

There’s no one in the streets I roam
Intoxication’s dragging me back to your home
I thought if I’d insist
You’d invite me up again and you’d be playing
That special song
The silence on the entry phone was saying
I was so wrong

I must have missed your cue
“Sober up and shut it”
You’d heard that spiel, you knew
the right time to cut it
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.

Waited at your front door for some kind of twist
Way too numb to find good angles to persist
Hard to face the reason that you gave me all night long
You thought I was Mr Right but you were so wrong

I must have missed your cue
“Sober up and shut it”
You’d heard that spiel, you knew
the right time to cut it
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.

I must have missed your cue
“Sober up and shut it”
You’d heard that spiel, you knew
the right words to cut it
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.
Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.

Nothing good happens after drunk a.m.

Every other plan that I came up with lately
Wasn’t great
Every other piece I could end up with lately
Wasn’t cake
Every other deal I would cash up with lately
Wasn’t paid
Every other job I could keep up with lately
Didn’t play out as foreseen

So now I live
On a day by day by day by day basis
Now I live
On a day by day by day by day basis

Every other friend I could meet up with lately
Wasn’t true
Every other fib I was stood up with lately
Wasn’t new
Every other ex I could catch up with lately
Wasn’t you
Every other date I was fixed up with lately
Didn’t play out as foreseen

So now I live
On a day by day by day by day basis
Now I live
On a day by day by day by day basis

Things got stranger, harsher, lately
Just when we were stronger, tighter, lately
I was feeling better, lighter, lately
I was learning how to give control

Can’t we live
On a day by day by day by day basis?
Can’t we live
On a day by day by day by day basis?

On a day by day basis

I head to the bridge
And take the right lane northbound
My hands on the wheel
Keep drumming to the soulful sound
Of Mr Mojo Risin
singing odes to his town
The views are mesmerising
Every time I’m looking down

I drive across your seven hills
The highs and the lows
Where nobody goes
I drive across your seven hills
The highs and the lows
The car knows the roads

I stop at the square
Where ancestor souls set sail to the sea
Still echoing there
The longing in their chant forces me
To feel happy when I’m home
where all my troubles disappear
If all roads do lead to Rome
How come I always end up here?

And drive across your seven hills
The highs and the lows
Where nobody goes
I drive across your seven hills
The highs and the lows
The car knows the roads

Everytime
I see your light
I know I’m home

I drive across your seven hills
The highs and the lows
Where nobody goes
I drive across your seven hills
The highs and the lows
The car knows the roads

Seven Hills

She came in late
Looking for love with a stranger
The kind of love you find in the night
Call it fate
‘cause I wasn’t looking for danger
Just happened to be right in her sight
when she passed and she lost a maroon scarf
Close to my feet
what seemed to be by chance but not quite
I could tell by the way she received it
Not even faking to be slightly surprised
That not so innocent laughter
Before a wink with no shame or regard
Paved the way to the moment after
The question that would get me off-guard

What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?


“What exactly does that question entail?
How many kinds of love you reckon there are?”
She answered: “there’s the kind that goes on forever,
And there’s the kind that doesn’t go very far
But it’s fine for a night
and your timing is right,
You’ll be that ice cream fix
for hearts badly broken”
She asked the question for a second time
Making clear there would be no second token

What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?


I  said “I’m in shock, am I not the man in this conversation?”
She fancied the accent and the playful sarcasm in my intonation
The mind has its mysterious ways of getting common desires telepathically transferred
We kissed and I guess at that point it’s fair to say that her question was probably answered

What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love

What Kind Of Love Are You Up For Tonight?

Dragged myself to places where I used to meet you guided by the secret hope that maybe you would be there alone 
Turns out that the rumours I had heard about you suddenly unfolded and I saw you with my perfect clone

Yeah, I know that I wished you could find another me, 
but did he have to be so much like another me
And though I was the one who couldn’t wait to be free, 
this wasn’t something that I wanted to see

I know I gave no reason to depart
I know my bad decisions broke your heart
I know my massive ego kept us apart
And most likely destroyed any chance to build
A brand new start

If regrets were lethal I'd be down six feet below the level of the streets you walk each day on your way home
I told myself that freedom was the change I needed
But instead of vibrant everything has turned out so monochrome

Yeah, I know that I wished you could find another me, 
but did he have to be so much like another me
And though I was the one who couldn’t wait to be free, 
this wasn’t something that I wanted to see

I know I gave no reason to depart
I know my bad decisions broke your heart
I know my massive ego kept us apart
And most likely destroyed any chance to build
A brand new start

I know I gave no reason to depart
I know my bad decisions broke your heart
I know my massive ego kept us apart
And most likely destroyed any chance to build
A brand new start

No reason to depart
I know I broke your heart
And most likely destroyed any chance to build
A brand new start

Brand New Start
