I Want to Feel Like This All the Time 04:38
lyrics

I want to feel like this all the time I want to feel like this all the time All the time, all the time I have abandoned everything All food and water, in my lonely cage, Everything, even my own offspring I got electric shocks on my feet This morning just so that I could reach I could reach, I could reach The lever on the other side Of my room so I Can just spend the day pushing down Feeling great I want to feel like this all the time I want to feel like this all the time I want to feel like this all the time I want to feel like this all the time I want to feel like this all the time I want to feel like this all the time You are a giant - I am a tiny thing I can be your experiment You can be quiet - you can just listen in I can be your experiment

I.T.V. Colour Strike 03:10
lyrics

Imagine if the sky was green If Romulus lost the fight then we’d call Rome Reem Imagine if the grass was blue And if you still loved me then I’d still be with you Or maybe you never loved me And maybe I’ll die before I know what love means And one day the Earth will swelter But maybe before it does, things will get better I woke up feeling sad again today Feels like all nuance went away, I don’t know what to do I want to see things like I did before the colour strike Before the black and white Imagine if the sea was blue And if I could swim away then that’s what I’d do It was so vibrant Now it’s all black and white ITV colour strike I miss the old days Before the grey arrived We had the bluest sky November 1970 Technicians at ITV In a dispute over pay Took red, green and blue away That’s how I feel now I’m on a TV show That’s all in monochrome It was so vibrant Now it’s all black and white ITV colour strike

Pick it up and put it down Pick it up and put it down Every night and every morning Ringing! South Sudan is calling San Marino’s calling Eswatini’s calling Ringing! Argentina’s calling Pick it up and put it down Pick it up and put it down Every night and every morning Ringing! Kyrgyzstan is calling Canada is calling Eritrea’s calling Ringing! Luxembourg is calling Pick it up and put it down Pick it up and put it down I don’t want to listen I don’t need a lesson Don’t let them leave a message Pick it up and put it down As I turn to china A globe sits on the dresser She used to keep the phone there I’m waking up and passing out Pick it up and put it down Pick it up and put it down Pick it up and put it down Every night and every morning Ringing! U.A.E. is calling U.S.A. is calling United K. Is calling Ringing! Another day is calling Pick it up and put it down Pick it up and put it down It's too late to listen I don’t need a lesson Don’t let them leave a message Pick it up and put it down As I turn to china A globe sits on the dresser She used to keep the phone there I’m waking up and passing out

I.V.: The Divine Right of Kings 03:26
lyrics

There was a party and I met you there and we’re always there Louis XIV works in Edinburgh in a call centre Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming, you have to look for it I had to meet you to get off the fence and have my life make sense 
Robert Mugabe’s selling pots and pans in 10th Century France Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming, you have to look for it You’re not as lucky as us

 Who’d understand what I’m talking about?
 What I’m talking about?
 Yours and mine - the divine right of the king and queen
 Is there such thing?

 Alfred the Great, he gave in his CV to a bakery
 While Cleopatra is head of design at the New York Times 
Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming, you have to look for it 
Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming Love isn’t coming, you have to look for it You’re not as lucky as us

 Who’d understand what I’m talking about? 
What I’m talking about?
 Yours and mine - the divine right of the king and queen 
Is there such thing?

 William the Conqueror is a border guard at the Euro Star
 New ways to love you as we drive around your hometown

I'm a Tourist 02:50
lyrics

I’ve been slumming it in Europe I’m not like other tourists. English and French songs all sounding like Beethoven Italians in Lederhosen makes fashion sense Everything near is far the Autobahn’s a road that leads to Rome Hack me into little pieces Lest I write another line There’s no going going back Hackney Hackney Hackney cab West Eurasian Summer taught me from Malta up to Orkney you’ll always see Matadors around the maypole and Pearly Kings on the payroll in boulangeries champagne topped with beer Gondoliers who punt in Amsterdam Hack me into little pieces Lest I write another line There’s no going going back Hackney Hackney Hackney cab I’m not moving (moving on) I’m guessing (dressing up) Not moving (moving on) I’m going nowhere all the things I borrow I won’t give them back tomorrow I won’t give them back the next day or the next Put the Shakespeare in the shredder Poetic and Prose Edda into the fire grind the stained glass into powder and let the Eiffel Tower sink in the mire amnesia’s the magic word and don’t be scared there’s nature to exploit

 Hack me into little pieces Lest I write another line There’s no going going back Hackney Hackney Hackney cab Hack me into little pieces Lest I write another line There’s no going going back Hackney Hackney Hackney cab

I’m putting down the phone Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes I’m putting on my coat Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes I’m running down your road And I bet you can guess Now I’m standing right in front of you Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes You ask me what I want from you I thought you knew You ask me if I want to marry you You know I do I’m jumping on the bus Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes I’m causing quite a fuss Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes Everyone’s looking up I don’t care I confess Now I’m standing right in front of you Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes I’m running for the train Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes Chemicals in my brain Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes And if it’s not delayed I’m gonna be out of breath Soon I’ll be standing right in front of you Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes You ask if me if I’m still in love You know I am You ask me if I’ll love you all my life Well that’s the plan 
I’m putting down the phone Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes I’m putting on my coat Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes I’m running down the road And I bet you can guess Now I’m standing right in front of you Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes I’m standing right in front of you Saying yes, saying yes, saying yes Now I’m standing right in front of you Saying yes!

I Call it Love 03:53
lyrics

You’d call it anything else But the thing you bring I call it love And it’s enough I call it love, love, love They call me the grim reaper as I take them. I call it love I love the sound of weeping on a ward cos I call it love Old lovers always worry who I’ll take first, I call that love They never think that I will hurry, hurry the end of love Live your life but know you oughta Tell your sons and tell your daughters That I’m always round the corner Waiting Now you’re anticipating Tell them, tell them! The way that people hate to be alone well I call it love When you upset each other you atone and I call it love The time we spend just playing on our phones well I call it love When you were born you never would have known you’d have so much love Show them, show them Cos you never will know when I’ll come see you They call me the grim reaper as I take them. I call it love You’ll never know how lucky you are to have this much You know that there’s a thing I love to see when I do my job? Now what’s the word, now what’s the word that I’m thinking of? I call it love, love, love

 You’d call it anything else But the thing you bring I call it love And it’s enough I call it love, love, love You’d call it anything else But the thing you bring I call it love And it’s enough I call it love, love, love You’d call it anything else But the thing you bring I call it love And it’s enough I call it love, love, love You’d call it anything else But the thing you bring I call it love And it’s enough I call it love, love, love

I Hear Nobody Talks 03:41
lyrics

I was hanging out in my room I was playing and singing tunes On my Casio - songs from musicals That’s when I heard a knock, Knock, is somebody at my door? It’s the guy from the second floor “can you please keep it down, you’re awful” I couldn’t believe my luck It was my music he’d come to discuss And so began my first conversation in months Nobody talks All I hear is that nobody talks Nobody talks When you’re near, I hear nobody talks Nobody talks All I hear is that nobody talks I hate it here When I’m near, I know nobody talks Nobody ever tells me a goddam thing The only thing I know is that no one talks So let’s make them sing I don’t have any friends in this city No outlet for creativity I only have songs of self pity So I devote my life to Every night karaoke Where everyone seems to love me They’re just kidding when they heckle me I’d like to buy the world a big double Jack Daniels and Coke Music can make us talk, if we’re in on the joke Nobody talks All I hear is that nobody talks Nobody talks When you’re near, I hear nobody talks Nobody talks All I hear is that nobody talks I hate it here When I’m near, I know nobody talks Nobody ever tells me a goddam thing The only thing I know is that no one talks So let’s make them sing

I've Realised We're Not Real 03:42
lyrics

I forget I’m someone else sometimes you put me in focus with all the lines and when you looked at me and smiled we went outside and everywhere was grainy there we’ll forget we’re people anywhere I forget I’m someone else sometimes through the window comes no real sunshine you and I now stand in the best light boom above your head tell the world the words of love you said the rippling sky - a cyclorama hanging high I’ve seen behind it thought I’d found the truth then I find it what was real about the way we used to feel? It’s not like anything’s going wrong We got it right in one take we’ve seen the edges and we’ve seen beyond we’re seeing angels like William Blake I always thought these walls were made of stone then I saw them wobble when the door was closed and when you told me how you felt it all made sense it felt divine like freezing time or like seeing colour in black and white I forget I’m someone else sometimes you and I now stand in the spotlight 
boom above your head tell the world the words of love you said the rippling sky - a cyclorama hanging high I’ve seen behind it thought I’d found the truth then I find it what was real about the way we used to feel? boom above your head tell the world the words of love you said the rippling sky - a cyclorama hanging high I’ve seen behind it thought I’d found the truth then I find it what was real about the way we used to feel? And everything’s to be continued And everything’s to be continued… (I forget I’m someone else sometimes you put me in focus with all the lines and when you looked at me and smiled we went outside and everywhere was grainy there we’ll forget we’re people anywhere)

I'm the Montparnasse Tower 04:26
lyrics
buy track
(What is that tower?) If I was there, a person on the ground (Why did they build it?) I would stand, awkwardly, around I’d be the guy, looking so lonely (What is that tower?) Look at me, standing all alone (Why did they build it?) I don’t know why I’m here at all Call me a cab, I’m feeling queasy The first one to see the sun The morning the clocks go forward I’d look right at home in London But here I just feel so awkward 14th arrondissement to disappoint you I’m the one with the beautiful view I wish we could both enjoy it (What is that tower?) I’m stood here, counting knives and forks (Why did they build it?) Walk away, you don’t want to talk It’s 7am, the party is over The first one to see the sun The morning the clocks go forward I’d look right at home in London But here I just feel so awkward 14th arrondissement to disappoint you I’m the one with the beautiful view I wish we could both enjoy it And if I was a person Down on the ground (Knock it all down Knock it all down) At your birthday party I’d stand around (Knock it all down Knock it all down) If I had friends If I had anyone around Standing here with me 
Not off in the distance Someone like me Someone could build a friend for me The first one to see the sun The morning the clocks go forward I’d look right at home in London But here I just feel so awkward 14th arrondissement to disappoint you I’m the one with the beautiful view I wish we could both enjoy it The first one to see the sun The morning the clocks go forward I’d look right at home in London But here I just feel so awkward 14th arrondissement to disappoint you I’m the one with the beautiful view I wish we could both enjoy it
