24 Hours 7 Days

Words and Music by Euan Blackman

Some days I wake up and I just don’t wanna move
My head feels cold and heavy like a statue in the Louvre
Summers gone, we’re moving on, it’s time to be alone
I guess this rented house will never feel like home

And when she’s away
I just don’t know what to say 
On the phone
Except I’m feeling low

For 24 hours 
7 days a week
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
Like a single white flower 
Dying in the heat
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you

I know I like to argue and I know I always lose
But back in school I’d only speak when I was spoken to
Summers gone, we’re moving on, it’s time to get it right
But the spark inside my eyes is like a dying fairy light

And when I’m alone 
I do better i suppose
But sometimes 
I need you by my side

For 24 hours 
7 days a week
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
For 24 hours
You know I'll feel so weak 
Just waiting for you
Cos I miss you

I don't need a scientist 
To figure it out
Cos I know I can’t resist 
Lying and hiding in doubt 
I just wanna show
I’ll love you through the cold and snow 
Til' summer
Til' summer

For 24 hours 
7 days a week
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
Like a cold little flower 
That needs a bit of heat
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you

24 Hours 7 Days

Sinking

Words and Music by Euan Blackman

I won’t give you 
Every single star in the sky
Or sing to you
That ‘it will be fine’

The days are getting long
And the nights are dry
So I try to hold on
Just to keep you mine

You gotta know when to give in
Stop my heart from sinking again

And again and again yeah yeah

It’s a hard act to follow
It’s a summer night
It’s a wonderful thing
If you get it right

Like driving down a highway 
In a Cadillac
It’s ‘Life on Mars’
It’s Kerouac 

But you gotta know when to give in
Stop my heart from sinking again

From Liverpool to London
I’m searching for that someone
The girl inside my dream
My love supreme

You gotta know when to give in
It don’t matter where you been
From the school choir days
To the barbican stage

Won’t you stop my heart from sinking?
Won’t you stop my heart from sinking?
I won’t give you every single star in the sky
But I will give you everything I’ve got tonight

Sinking

Words and Music by Euan Blackman

I don’t wanna hear your voice 
Or even see your face
I feel something I can’t explain 
When I walk through this place

There’s whispering in the walls 
And there’s shouting down the hall

But I don’t wanna go back home 
I just wanna feel alone
It’s haunted but I just don’t care 
I’m not scared

I felt a premonition
As I walked in the room
I’m not one for superstition 
But I swear something did move

Is this the place
She gave herself away to some new face?

But I don’t wanna go back home 
I just wanna feel alone
It’s haunted but I just don’t care 
I’m not scared

No I’m not scared
I don’t think I’ll ever trust 
Someone again 
(Someone again)
But the ghosts inside my room 
And the voices in my head

I don’t wanna go back home 
To my bed that I’ve outgrown 
I know its haunted
But I just don’t care
I’m not scared

(What are you running away from? 
Is there some kind of problem?)
I'm Not Scared
(What are you running away from? 
This time boy)

I'm Not Scared
(What are you running away from? 
Is there some kind of problem?)
I'm Not Scared
(What are you running away from? 
This time boy)

baggy jumper and faded jeans

Lyrics:
I'll keep it short
I'm not so sure
What to do these days
'Cause when I'm alone
I feel like a drone
Stacking plates away

You're all that I need
You give me a reason to eat
But when you are gone
I soldier on
A broken machine

I stay up late
And switch off my brain
And my circuitry
The battery dies
When I close my eyes
And you're in my dreams

You're all that I need
You give me a reason to eat
But when you are gone
I soldier on
A broken machine

You're all that I need
You give me a reason to eat
But when you are gone
I soldier on
But I'm not too strong
You string me along
You know where I'll be
I'll wait patiently
The broken machine

The Ballad of a Broken Machine

Written, Produced and Mixed by Euan Blackman
Mastered by Jim Spencer at Eve Studios

I've been spending most my time
Sitting on a train
And staring at the sky

And you've been rent free on my brain
Like a centrifugal force
I can feel you slip away

Now I'm truly sorry
If this is out of line
But I know I want you
For the rest of space and time
When all is said and done
I hope you are the last one

I see you on my screen
The grainy FaceTime gleam 
At night I barely sleep

I know I do everything wrong
It's why I wrote this song
To make it clear to see

That I'm truly sorry
If this is out of line
But I know I want you
For the rest of space and time
When all is said and done
I hope you are the last one

The days are getting longer
The tender roots grow stronger
I hope that I don't mess this up
This time

Yeah I'm truly sorry
If this is out of line
But I know I want you
For the rest of space and time
When all is said and done
I hope you are the last one

When all is said and done
I know you are the last one

Lyrics:

Don’t wanna walk alone
Don’t wanna make a scene
I wanna hear you whisper in my ear
I think it’s time we leave

This ain’t the kind of night
Two people fall in love
Go ahead now darling won’t you step on my heart
Crush it up

Ooh
Babe I’ll never get you back
Ooh
You hit me with that sneak attack

So there’s another girl
I met after the show
I dread to tell her that I still want you
Can’t let it go

Ooh
Babe I’ll never get you back
Ooh
You hit me with that sneak attack

I thought I’d see you in a white dress
New York City in a sunset
Family money on the Blackjack
I never stood a chance

Ooh
Babe I’ll never get you back
Ooh
You hit me with that sneak attack

Ooh
Babe I’ll never get you back
Ooh
You hit me with that sneak attack

Babe I’ll never get you
Babe I’ll never get you
Babe I’ll never get you
Back

Babe I’ll never get you
Babe I’ll never get you
Babe I’ll never get you
Back

Lyrics:

Quarter life crisis
I don’t wanna grow old anyway
Cut my hair and I stain my shirt
All the darkness blocks the hurt

Is it always like this?
Struggling with the bills and microwave
Crush the bugs beneath my shoe
Make a wish that won’t prove true

‘Cause I am nothing to you
You’re just a child with eyes of blue
Sitting in a Metro ’95
Windows down keep the dream alive

Small town with nothing
Working 9-5 no extra pay
But I am proud of where I’m from
A little valley where no-one comes

I used to know her mother
She got forced to move out by the state
Corporate greed with a fancy bow
Take a memory, ruin a show

‘Cause I am nothing to you
You’re just a child with eyes of blue
Sitting in a Metro ’95
Windows down keep the dream alive
Oh alive

Oh I am nothing to you
You were my brother I never knew
Sitting in a Metro ’95
Windows down keep the dream alive

I am nothing to you
You’re just a child with eyes of blue
Sitting in a Metro ’95
Windows down keep the dream alive

Lyrics:

How do you sleep?
Oh I don’t think about it too much
How do you breathe?
Oh I don’t think about it too much
How’d you write a song?
I don’t think about it too much
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I don’t think about it too much

‘Cause when I think it hurts
The picture burns
So I just push it down 

When somebody dies
I don’t think about it too much
When I make you cry
I don’t think about it too much
When I read the news
I don’t think about it too much
Post-millennial blues
I don’t think about it too much

‘Cause when I think it hurts
The picture burns
So I just push it down 
Way way down

Don’t think about it
I don’t think about it
Don’t think about it
I don’t think about it

Don’t think about it
I don’t think about it
Don’t think about it
I don’t think about it

‘Cause when I think it hurts
The picture burns
So I just push it down 
It down
It down
It down
It down

When I’m feeling sad
I don’t think about it too much
When I miss mum and dad
I don’t think about it too much
When my girl is away
I don’t think about it too much
When I wasted the day
I don’t think about it too much

I Don't Think About It (Too Much)

Lyrics:

I’m alone
I’ve got nowhere to be
Call me a fallen star
Call me anything that you need

Broken bones
Brittle teeth
I’ll be your rusty car
Smoking on the side of the street

Like the trucks follow highway lines
Like the stars tumble out the sky
Like the weeds feed the butterfly
I was born to let you down tonight

Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo

You’re serene
You’re top of the class
If I needed something from you
I was always to scared to ask

‘Cause I’m just a kid
Who lived in a small town
I’m just a helicopter 
Burning on my way to the ground

Like the trucks follow highway lines
Like the stars tumble out the sky
Like the weeds feed the butterfly
I was born to let you down tonight

Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo

Like the trucks follow highway lines
Like the stars tumble out the sky
Like the weeds feed the butterfly
Like the shops open up at nine

Like the cops never solve the crime
Like the team never score the try
Like the fool always spills the wine
I was born to let you down tonight

happy valentine's day xxx

Lyrics: 

I don’t know much
But I know I’ve been feeling down
Blue as the sky, on a summer's day
But none of your friends are around

So I stay inside
Romanticise all my past mistakes
No regrets
Give or take

I wanna fall in love
I wanna be your man
I wanna lose myself
Let you wreck all my plans

I need you next to me
Catastrophically
Do it over and over again

I wanna fall in love
But I don’t think I can

I catch a smile
From a stranger who stands at the bar
So I grab a drink
And bore them to death with my soulless remarks

‘Cause I haven’t felt a single thing
Since I was eighteen 
But I don’t want pity
I just wanna dream

That I fall in love
I wanna be your man
I wanna lose myself
Let you wreck all my plans

I need you next to me
Catastrophically
Do it over and over again

I wanna fall in love
But I don’t think I can

I wanna fall in love with you
I wanna fall in love with you
I wanna fall in love with you
I wanna fall in love with you

Lyrics:
She got the long hair running down
See her on the street downtown
I don’t think she even knows
She’s spending all the money in the bank
Give her dad a heart attack
I don’t think she even knows

She got the secret smile, that she saves
Kind that drives the clouds away
I don’t think she even knows
She got the tiny hoops, glasses on
YSL, silk chiffon
I don’t think she even knows

Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl

I got the kind of love that makes you cry
Think about her all the time
I don’t think she even cares
I’m saving all the money that I have
Just so I can stand a chance
I don’t think she even cares

She got that pretty face, blue eyes
Clothes that seem to fit just right
I don’t think she even cares
I got nothing left up my sleeve
Got me down on my knees
I don’t think she even cares

Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl

There she goes
There she goes
There she goes again
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes again

Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl
Hoo
That’s my girl

Lyrics:

I don’t wanna think about
What I was back then
I’m a new man now
I’m a better friend

Find me by the reservoir
Humming to myself 
In a quiet thought
In a peaceful spell

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

Sometimes when I fall asleep
I see world war three
I see tidal waves
Crashing over me

Lately I’ve been doing fine
Working on myself
And I scream out loud
When I feel compelled

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

‘Cause a broken heart
Is still a beating heart
Is still a beating heart
Yeah a broken heart
Is still a beating heart
Is still a beating heart

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

forgive

Lyrics:
Breakup again
And you say that “you wanna be friends”
Do you think I’m stupid?, well I am
Your new man’s a fresh start
I’m a bore but he’s a wildcard
You got city dreams, I got a bleeding heart

Heard you’re doing fine
And you got me off your mind
Well I hope your life’s not better than mine
Hope your life’s not better than mine
Heard you’re doing fine
And you got me off your mind
Well I hope your life’s not better than mine
Hope your life’s not better than mine
Hey!

Well I found a real one
She’s a star with no makeup on
I play her all my songs and she sings along

Heard you’re doing fine
And you got me off your mind
Well I hope your life’s not better than mine
Hope your life’s not better than mine
Heard you’re doing fine
And you got me off your mind
Well I hope your life’s not better than mine
Hope your life’s not better than mine

Truly I despise
Giving you my precious time
All the pain you’d bring
And the petty stings
Well I don’t miss anything

Heard you’re doing fine
And you got me off your mind
Well I hope your life’s not better than mine
Hope your life’s not better than mine
Heard you’re doing fine
And you got me off your mind
Well I hope your life’s not better than mine
Hope your life’s not better than mine
Hey!

better
