Action Man
03:52
|

I think he lives across the hall
And I don't know him at all
But I have a plan
In it he's the action man
He shifts across the street
I can't see his feet
He can save me anytime
From this little life of mine
I'm wishing, I'm wishing, I'm wishing
Away by my window every day
While he's on a mission
For a damsel in distress I'm almost
Happy and I guess
I can live without the action man
He will rocket and sky dive
In order to survive
Catch him if you can
He's the action man
Never needs a second chance
Brave with big strong hands
Makes everything okay
Always knows just what to say, what to say
I'm wishing, I'm wishing, I'm wishing
Away by my window every day
While he's on a mission
For a damsel in distress I'm almost
Happy and I guess
I can live without the action man
We'll have a moment in slow motion
And I replay in my head all the clever
Things I could have said
Wishing, I'm wishing, I'm wishing away
By my window every day
While he's on a mission
For a damsel in distress I'm almost
Happy and I guess
I can live without
Wishing, I'm wishing, I'm wishing away
By my window every day
While he's on a mission
For a damsel in distress I'm almost
Happy and I guess
I can live without my action man
Live without my action man
Live without my action man
Action man

Oldest Friend
03:31
|
|||
Over noodles from yesterday
I'm attempting some kind of a talk
Not that it matters anyway
It's a lonely road you walk
Life size cut-out in the living room
Of a woman that should be cold
I think it's safe for me to assume
That you need to be told
Not sure what I'm doing here
But you're my oldest friend
Things were so much easier at school
This grown up world is tricky
I'm holding out my hand
It's unwritten but it's the rule
The green clock on the table
Tells me you should be dressed by now
You might feel slightly unable
But you'll get back up somehow
Were it the other way around
I know you'd sit in the dark with me
Until the courage could be found
To get on with plan B
Not sure what I'm doing here
But you're my oldest friend
Things were so much easier at school
This grown up world is tricky
I'm holding out my hand
It's unwritten but it's the rule
There's a storm in the cup of coffee
I'm about to drink
In it you are treading water
Trying not to sink
Not sure what I'm doing here
But you're my oldest friend
Things were so much easier at school
This grown up world is tricky
I'm holding out my hand
It's unwritten but it's the rule
It's unwritten but it's the rule

Kónguló

It was a swing from a cable
That sat by the tabourn EK
Suffer you for your even way
This could style and still betide the police
Just wait he'll come down on one heath
He's lucky poor that's the risk I note
Feeling almost tight as butterflies shows
They call him kongulo
You never see him in an elevator
It's most too slow
See you later, see you later
Let's hope the winds don't blow
Watch out
Here comes the kongulo
Afraid of hides when it comes to flights of sex
But when it starts to move
Nobody gets
No safety-line he takes his time out-there
Stops for coffee
And rests the first years there
The side before there is a risk I know
Feeling almost tight as butterflies shows
They call him kongulo
You never see him in an elevator
It's most too slow
See you later, see you later
Please don't make it snow
Watch out
Here comes the kongulo
It made us so even keener
When he hits the the right
With the window cleaner
Human kongulo say yeah
Now it's on tv who took him about his hand
They call him kongulo
You never see him in an elevator
It's most too slow
See you later, yeah see you later
Let's hope the winds don't blow
Watch out
Here comes the kongulo
La-la la-la la-la la-la-la
Watch out
Here comes the kongulo
La-la la-la la-la la-la-la
Watch out
Here comes the kongulo
La-la la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la a-la la-la la-la la-la la-la-la

One of Those Things
03:28
|
|||
When you're angry
And you're walking away
Waiting for them to stop you
But they don't
Then it's ok
To wait for a while
Before you go back there again
With a smile
It's just one of those things
I wish someone had told me
If you're hurting
Needing a tear
That is the time when they just don't
Seem to fall
It gets better
You give up the wait
And they come streaming down your face
When it's too late
It's just one of those things
I wish someone had told me
If I had the answers to all my questions
There wouldn't be anywhere to go from here
If I had the answers to all my questions
There wouldn't be anywhere
There wouldn't be anywhere
To go from here
When you're happy
And you just don't know why
Don't waste precious time
Don't even try
If you're dancing
And nobody's there
Enjoy the fact that you don't
Even care
It's just one of those things
I wish someone had told me
If I had the answers to all my questions
There wouldn't be anywhere
There wouldn't be anywhere
There wouldn't be anywhere
To go from here
It's just one of those things
I wish someone had told me

Boys & Perfume
03:26
|
|||
Nothing makes sense in the mornings anyway
So feelings are back in demand from today
Close my eyes and hope for a better one
'Cause life goes on
Boys and perfume from a pound store
Cheap Mona Lisa print on the wall
And I feel like the girl who's got it all
I feel like the girl who's got it all, got it all
Misery feels so out of place
Moment's happiness staring you in the face
Can't find love, then lust will do
I'm playing with you, I'm playing
Boys and perfume from a pound store
Cheap Mona Lisa print on the wall
And I feel like the girl who's got it all
I feel like the girl who's got it all
Nothing like my boy needs to be
It all happened so soon
They can't tell me what works for me
Let's have Christmas in June
Christmas in June
Boys and perfume from a pound store
Cheap Mona Lisa print on the wall
And I feel like the girl who's got it all
I feel like the girl who's got it all
I feel like, I feel like I've got it all

Synchronised Swimmers
03:21
|

Like synchronised swimmers
In an ocean of sounds
We're only beginners
Still looking around
It's a little bit deafening
How my inner voice is shouting out
What a lovely mess
Through the days we walk
There's liberating loneliness
In how you never talk
It's a little bit deafening
How my inner voice is shouting out
They'll come around
Just leave you be
Feet firmly on the ground
When you're standing next to me
Feet firmly on the ground
When you're standing next to me
Maybe we're different
Different from who
They so wanna tell us
When they thing we should do
It's a little bit deafening
How my inner voice is shouting out
They'll come around
Just leave you be
Feet firmly on the ground
When you're standing next to me
Feet firmly on the ground
When you're standing next to me
Shouting out
It's a little bit deafening
When my inner voice is shouting out
It's a little bit deafening
It's a little bit deafening
It's a little bit deafening
When my inner voice is shouting out
Shouting out
We're synchronised swimmers
Shouting out

Daisy
03:33
|

I don't want to smile
You can't make me
I've been dumped for a girl called Daisy
And it hurts
I picture her eating apples
All glowing happy and healthy
Girl next door
My blue bikini's faded
And I don't even care
I think she's over rated
With really stupid hair
I think the sun is wasted on me
I think the sun is wasted on me
I've taken a vow of misery
That's why the sun is wasted on me
I wear my purple dress
And walk like I mean business and I do
She sounds like a greeting card phrase
Little Miss Daisy at the door
Not the best beginning for my fantasy catfight
I've painted on a smile
But I'll be back tomorrow night
I think the sun is wasted on me
I think the sun is wasted on me
I've taken a vow of misery
That's why the sun is wasted on me
I think the sun is shining on me
I think the sun is shining on me
I've broken the vow of misery
That's why the sun is shining on me
Shining on me, shining

Time of My Life
04:01
|
|||
Orange car people sit in trees
Hard to digest all the memories
Fell off a bike the blood still fresh
Focus on saving my party dress
I'm in bed it's after dark
Still hear them playing in the park
Run around and laugh out loud
That is it I'm sneaking out
Waiting for things to run around
Summer should have a different sound
Sad situations too much of a wait
The time of my life is starting late
With mum in the early morning rush
People watching the on the bus
Day after day always the same
And they don't even know my name
Waiting for the things to run around
Summer should have a different sound
Sad situations too much of a wait
The time of my life is starting late
Dreams of impossible happiness
Sugar coated truth
I need to wake up
And shake off my youth
The time of my life is starting late
The time of my life is starting late
The time of my life is starting late
The time of my life is starting late

Homemade Lemonade
03:20
|
|||
A girl in a nylon apron serves me cinnamon toast
On a plate with a picture of a cat
The man on the next table pretends to read the paper
We all know he's asleep under his hat
Look out on the street
And I see a lady feeding birds too fat to fly
Everything is basic in a town like this
You get your picture in the paper if you catch a fish
Dwelling on if onlys on a rainy day
Just like Dolly I will get away
Goodbye to homemade lemonade
The girl with the apron talks way too loud on the phone
About a boy she wants to snog
They still have that sign up
But someone has decided that
Patch doesn't count as a dog
Look out on the street
And I see a lady feeding birds too fat to fly
Everything is basic in a town like this
You get your picture in the paper if you catch a fish
Dwelling on if onlys on a rainy day
Just like Dolly I will get away
Goodbye to homemade lemonade
Everything is basic in a town like this
You get your picture in the paper if you catch a fish
Dwelling on if onlys on a rainy day
Just like Dolly I will get away
Goodbye to homemade lemonade

I Almost Know a Criminal
03:17
|
|||
Flying high as a kite
With proper starts there in the night
Just when she's starting to shine
Gets tangled on a power line
From looking at her face
She's the nicest person in this place
They clearly don't know
She's putting on a little snow
And she tries so hard to prove
She's got nothing to prove
Every little fall is a signature move
She's made a deal with the devil
You can't take those back
She will always be
The prettiest insomniac around here
I almost know a criminal
Pushes them out of her head
Thoughts when she's alone in bed
She'll get away with it
Looks nothing like her photo fit
And she tries so hard to prove
She's got nothing to prove
Every little fall is a signature move
She's made a deal with the devil
You can't take those back
She will always be
The prettiest insomniac around here
Fear eats my sanity
I say I like her dress
This time she doesn't shout at me
We must be making progress
Tries so hard to prove
She's got nothing to prove
Every little fall is a signature move
She's made a deal with the devil
You can't take those back
She will always be
The prettiest insomniac around here
I almost know a criminal
I almost know a criminal
I almost know a criminal

Robot Robot

I'm gonna build a robot and I'll name it after you
I've got everything I need
Using nuts and bolts and just a little bit of glue
And some tin foil on his feet
We'll go for walks
And feed the ducks with bread
He scares them off
With the lasers on his head
Remote control
Needs no compromise
The look of love
In this bright red eyes
I'm gonna build a robot and I'll name it after you
I've got everything I need
Using nuts and bolts and just a little bit of glue
And some tin foil on his feet
He doesn't breathe
And never needs to sleep
His hardware heart
Never skips a beat
I'm gonna build a robot and I'll name it after you
I've got everything I need
Using nuts and bolts and just a little bit of glue
And some tin foil on his feet

Vampires
03:01
|
|||
We live in a house with a blue door
When we're going out, they're coming home
And if sometimes all day, the curtains are drawn
It's just that we'd rather be left alone
They think we're vampires
That could be cool
But we're not vampires
We're just me and you
Here in the dark
Me and you and our little spark
They think we're vampires

Winter Sun
04:04
|

Somehow it hurts to be happy
In your head
I see your seasonal sadness setting in
So much unsaid
Somehow it hurts to be happy
In your head
Learn to let it go
I tell you things will better
Just wait and see
You shake your head in disbelief
And whisper not for me
Learn to let it go
Learn to let it go
As the days become longer
Glimpse of winter sun
I see you smile
Spring has begun
Learn to let it go
Learn to let it go
Learn to let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
