All Kind of Entwined

We're in the Water's fifth album is an ode to the afterlife. 

A Star on the Sea is a conceptual piece about what might happen after death, and where one's spirit might go. 

Inspired by the passing of his father in 2021, Fil OK weaves a story of life on earth, inhabiting the human form, and what it might mean to evolve into another dimension, beyond time, space and physical being.

There are 12 songs spanning Fil's life, from childhood to the present, and beyond. 

How is one's life re-defined by the passing of a parent? 
How do we accept and deal with the certainty of the death of a loved one?
And how do we open our hearts and minds to the possibility of a continued love that refuses to end? 

The album explores these themes, and more, in a kaleidoscope of musical landscapes, ranging from pop to orchestral, funk to experimental, electro to ballad.

Dedicated to Kevin Jones, 1945 - 2021...

Written and produced by Fil OK 
Additional lyrics by Jason Loves You and Emily Brontë [5] Elaine [10] and Kevin Jones [12] 
Vocals by Fil OK and The Thom [2, 8] Miss Elly [4, 7] and Kate Shortt [2, 8, 9, 12] 
Mixed and mastered by Rob Platt

Astrodome

Out in the dark
lit by cars
I’m walking fast
I always go too far
it's true

The wind is cold
my face is old
I want to float as I zip up my coat
I wish I was in a bar
with you

Alone in London Town tonight
my hair has grown
but what will it take
to make this my home?

Take me to the Astrodome
The Astrodome
Take me to the Astrodome
The Astrodome

Out on the stage with my rage
I’m talking fast
I shout down my megaphone
to you

Alive in London Town tonight
I’m becoming an art
But what will it take
to settle my heart?

Welcome to the Astrodome
Welcome to the unknown
We’re waiting for you to
discover your own throne

Alone in London
the time is now
I know that I want to
make it somehow

Living in the Astrodome
Living in the unknown
We’re waiting for you to
shout down your megaphone
Living in the Astrodome
Living in the unknown
We’re waiting for you to
shout down your megaphone

Living in the Astrodome
Living in the unknown
Living in the Astrodome
Living in the Astrodome

Astrodome

Blind

How could I have been so blind?
Blind - blind - blind - blind - blind

I’m free now - I think I’m clean now
unable to feel guilty
Today I can see how
I did all the things I did
and said all the things that I said

Looking back now I can see
a completely different picture of me
always complicated - hibernated
in an unclear world with everything confused

But now it’s changed
I’ve changed and I find that
I’m looking at the present and future all the time
And as I get older there’s a chip on my shoulder
but it’s clear what I have to do
and what I have to choose

Seeing for miles
Vision of a different kind
Optimism smiles
How could I have been so blind?
Blind - blind - blind - blind

You’re my friend now
you’ll always stay my friend
and in 10 years time we’ll still laugh
The future will give you children
and they’ll do all the things you do
and say all the things that you say

Looking back now I can see
all the ups and downs
and how stupid we’ve been
always complaining - never explaining
in a retrospective of things insane

But now it’s changed
we’ve changed and I can see
that things are better for you and for me
As time goes by we’ll laugh and we’ll cry
and we’ll be friends after we both die

Seeing for miles
Vision of a different kind
Optimism smiles
How could I have been so blind?
Blind - blind - blind - blind - blind
Blind - blind - blind - blind

The Happy Envelope

We drove with the sun coming down
Grass and trees on either side
You were laughing and I smiled
and we’d forgotten our foolish pride

Cold air on our faces
I know now I wouldn’t swap places
with anyone - for anything
I’m just too happy with you

The calm air hangs still
I knew you’d give in
The sad story that you
told me wasn’t true
Another day went
you said you were scared
and you’d kept it
from me to protect you

We drove with the sun coming down 
Grass and trees on either side
You were laughing and I smiled

The day is good and it will last forever
and a million bad feelings
have gone for now 
Forget for the moment
‘cause we’re together
Don’t you dare ask why or how

A chill runs up my spine
but I wouldn’t go back in time
with anyone - for anything
I’m just too happy with you

The calm air hangs still
I knew you’d give in
The secret story that you
told me was all true
Another day went
you said you were scared
and you’d kept it
from me to protect you

We drove with the sun coming down
Grass and trees on either side
You were laughing and I smiled

We drove with the sun coming down
Grass and trees on either side
You were laughing and I smiled

A Friend in You

We drift through the days
and we shift in a haze
of colours unknown to my eyes
A friendship that slides
that quickly describes
the differences we feel inside

"There let thy bleeding branch atone
for every torturing tear
shall my young sins
my sins alone
be everlasting here?"

I still love you
I will someday find my friend in you

Colours that shade cover and fade into view
Deeper within the image is dim
The image of you

The sunshine and snow
with the rainstorm to flow
will wash the resent from the lies
I carry on watching and notice the changing
of kaleidoscope people
in black and white lives

"Who bade thee keep that carved name
a pledge for memory?
As if oblivion ever came
to breathe its bliss on me"

I still love you
I will someday find my friend in you

Colours that shade cover and fade into view
Deeper within the image is dim
The image of you

"As if through all the 'wildering maze
of mad hours left behind
I once forgot the early days
that thou wouldst call to mind"

People can change
For better for worse
For now or forever

A Friend In You

I Love Trash

An old LP made me nostalgic
made me reflect
I remembered the boy I once was
It had quite an effect

The child I was sat there
with Barry and Barbra
listening to what they’d sing
There’d be broken hearts
a sigh of relief
and a true romance or a fling

But then I’d shy from stuff
and think about how it sounded to me
I discarded all things
superficial and sentimentality
All trash and tripe it went out the window
it wasn’t cool enough for me
and with this new found hipness
the door was closed on my old LP

And on TV there’d be an old film
one afternoon
and the hours I spent in
total amazement at some cartoon
It was the cheapest way to be happy
to escape for a while
Unaware what was the fashion
these things made me smile

The child I was sat there
with Doris and Dangermouse
listening to what they’d say
There’d be love affairs
secret entanglements
the heroes would be ok - yeah

But then I’d shy from stuff
and think about how it looked to me
I discarded all things
superficial and sentimentality
All trash and tripe it went out the window
it wasn’t cool enough for me
and with this new found hipness
the door was closed on my old TV

A part of me
will always love trash
I’m no snob
I’m not ashamed to say
I Love Trash!

There’s a space for all of this happiness
the fix is momentary
There’s a place for all of this trash
and I’m happy it touches me - yeah

An old LP made me nostalgic
made me reflect
I remembered the boy I once was
It had quite an effect

Makes me nostalgic
Makes me reflect
Makes me nostalgic
Makes me reflect
I am nostalgic as I reflect
Makes me so nostalgic
It makes me reflect

I Love Trash

To Come Out of the Ordinary

Standing above me waiting
for me to show you what to do next
Lie down beside me I’ll whisper to you
words that will make no sense

You’re too scared - so unsure
I do care but still want more
You’re laughing and you
don’t know what to say
I knew you’d see things my way

Your mind listens to poetry
Your lips sing all the songs
Your head is full of wild ideas
but it’s your body that has all the fun
Your eyes see the sunset
Your mouth can taste the wine
Your ears hear this music
but it’s your body that has a good time

All these brand new games will
become routine but will never bore you
You’ll never tire of me and I will
always want to explore you

You’re persuaded - so sure
I’m smiling as you
push me to the floor
You’re looking and you
know just what to say
Want me to see things your way

Your mind listens to poetry
Your lips sing all the songs
Your head is full of wild ideas
but it’s your body that has all the fun
Your eyes see the sunset
Your mouth can taste the wine
Your ears hear this music
but it’s your body that has a good time

Your mind hears the poetry
Your lips sing all the songs
Your head is full of wild ideas
but it’s your body that has all the fun
Your eyes see the sunset
Your mouth can taste the wine
Your ears hear this music
but it’s your body that has a good time

Kamikaze

Kamikaze - Kamikaze - Kamikaze - Kamikaze
Kamikaze - Kamikaze - Kamikaze

Nobody here now
except maybe just me
Under a soothing - silky - smooth
salubrious sea

Nothing to hide now
my pale face shows it all
Every flinch - every fleck
blossom and speck
there is no more

There is no past now - only future
The time before can wait
We’re swirling so fast through this endless
Kamikaze
Expecting our past furious failures
to give us understanding
I’ll remember that it was accidental
next time I - I slip in love

La la la laa laa - la la la la la la laa

We are all here now
but how long will this moment last?
and when will we notice just when
our spells have been cast?

Living in a hole - forgetting our goals
hear it on the news and on TV
When will they know
what will be shown?
What’s the score
for you and me?

There is no past now - only future
The time before can wait
We’re swirling so fast through this endless
Kamikaze
Expecting our past glorious failures
to give us understanding
I’ll remember that it was accidental
next time I slip in love

La la la laa laa - la la la la la la laa
La la la laa laa  - la la la la la la laa

Now I will go out of the show
go down to the river
and bathe there

Nobody here now
Nothing to hide now
Kamikaze
Nobody here now
Kamikaze
Nothing to hide now
Kamikaze

Funky Future

Accesss memory bank

Rewind back a year
look where we were
Listen to what we were saying
It isn’t us now
it’s other’s old ghosts
Memories can stunt your growth

Do you believe me?
Do you see the simplicity?

It takes a lifetime to really get there
but what an interesting journey
Listen to me - tune into me ah oh
to a Funky Future
We can’t go backwards
we just go forwards
I’m hopeful and excited ‘cause
I believe there’s a Funky Future

Slowly come back
through a dozen months
see if you can list the issues
It’s so different now
we’re unrecognisable
Just think about
the time to come

Do you believe me?
Do you see the simplicity?
Listen to me implicitly
do you agree that...

It takes a lifetime to really get there
but what an interesting journey
Listen to me
tune into me ah oh
to a Funky Future
We can’t go backwards
we just go forwards
I’m hopeful and excited ‘cause
I believe there’s a Funky Future
to a Funky Future
Funky Future
You can’t live backwards
we just go forwards
I’m hopeful and excited ‘cause
I believe there’s a Funky Future

Funky
F-F-F-F-Funky

Clearest Night

You love me
and I want you to stay
You hurt me
and I push you away

I can’t control this deep down inside
Though I try to hide these feelings
which harm you and force us apart

I don’t understand me
or the things that I feel
I’m fighting this darkness within me
I’m fighting this darkness you can’t see

But on my clearest night
I can see
And I can feel
all this love for you in me
And I know that I love you
through all of our pain
and that nothing can part us again

Can you understand me
and the things that I feel?
Accepting this darkness within me
Enlightening this darkness you can’t see

Can you love me for my faults?
Can you understand my heart?
And are things clearer tonight?

I’ll always be there for you
whenever you need me to
and hope you’ll always forgive me
for being me

But on my clearest night
I can see
And I can feel
all this love for you in me
I can’t control this deep down inside
and I can feel all this love for you in me
And I know that I love you
through all of our pain
and that nothing can part us again

The Spirit Lives On

No air to breathe in
No breath to speak with
No words to say
and yet so much love
to give away

No game to play
they’ve taken your life away
but the Spirit lives on
yes the Spirit lives on

You still appear to me
through time and space
and history
I know that in this life
I’ll never solve the mystery

You breathe through me
your heart beats inside me
‘Cause the Spirit lives on
yes the Spirit lives on
Oh the Spirit lives on
yes the Spirit lives on

In the future
A Star on the Sea
In the future
A Star - try to believe
on the Sea - in the future
It’s you and me - try to believe
for eternity - in the future
A Star - believe - A Star on the Sea
In the future

Try to believe me
Try to believe - in us
in the future...

The Spirit Lives On

The Signs

You’ll know the songs whatever they be
Listen and feel - they could be me

You’ll know the ready Robin
as he struts his bold hello
you’ll know the crazy Seagull
as he laughs - you’re so slow
you’ll know the wily Blackbird
as he stares into your eyes
you’ll know the lofty Sparrowhawk
who lords it in the skies
you’ll know the mighty breaker
as it roars it’s last goodbye
you’ll know the gentle breezes
kissing you with a sigh
you’ll know that Autumn leaf
as it flutters to the ground
you’ll know the icy snow blast
spreading shivers all around

You’ll know them all if you’ll only pause
tune into what they say
Be brave and be kind
because the world is yours
and all of your ideals will stay

You’ll know the sounds whatever they be
Listen and hear - they could be me

You’ll know the ready Robin...

You’ll know
You’ll know
You’ll know
You’ll know

You’ll know them all if you’ll only try
and show them that you really care
Be strong and have fun
be honest - please don’t cry
and you will understand who’s there
You’ll know

You’ll know them all if you’ll only pause
and tune into what they say
Be brave and be kind
because the world is yours
and all of your ideals will stay
You’ll know
You’ll know them all if you’ll only try
and show them that you really care
Be strong and have fun
be honest - please don’t cry
and you will understand who’s there
You’ll know

You just have to be aware
You’ll know
Yes you’ll understand who’s there
You’ll know
Please just try to be aware
You’ll know
Yes you’ll understand he’s there
You’ll know
Yes you’ll understand he’s there
You’ll know

You’ll know the signs now that I’m free
Listen and feel - it will be me
