[Verse 1]
Slow disappearing shore
Captain says he knows
Which way to go
Old photo of my own
Memories of home
Oh, how you've grown
[Verse 2]
Cold, can't take any more
Nothing to explore
Chills me to the core
Sweet siren lullaby
(Echoes from the sky)
Io volo, io volo
(Guiding me away)
[Verse 3]
Ave Maria
Kyrie Elieson
Hallelujah

You

[Verse 1]
I got nothing for you
[Pre-chorus]
It wasn't you who led me on
[Chorus]
We're close enough to feel the pulse of one another
[Verse 2]
I'm falling for you
[Chorus]
We're close enough to feel the pulse of one another
Is it enough to say I want you for a lover
[Pre-chorus]
It wasn't you who led me on
[Coda]
Speak to me
Wrap me in a safety net
Of bitter-sweet and better yet
A fantasy
Anything is possible

Techno Babylon
03:53
|
|
||
|
[Verse 1]
And so the Music died
A silent sigh
Our hearts sunk to the bed of the river
[Chorus]
A long time ago
In Techno Babylon
[Verse 2]
We heard the river surge
A swell of sound
Until a wave emerged
We raised our voices loud
And swore an oath to serve eternity in song
Our hearts raced with the beat of the current
That swept us along
It swept us along, along
[Chorus]
A long time ago
In Techno Babylon
[Middle 8]
In the fleeting image of a sunken world
The reflected view of a tungsten heaven
As long as the river flows
The beat goes on forever
In Techno Babylon
[Chorus]
A long time ago
In Techno Babylon

Niteclub Called Hell
03:08
|
|
||
|
[Verse 1]
A little temptation was all it took to get me here
A man in the bathroom is trading his yokes for beer
(And he looks like he necked a dozen of those purple ---)
Sat next to the speakers
The lawyers and the teachers
Instead of a band
It's the screaming of the damned that plays
On and on
[Middle 8]
And if they catch your eye
They'll come and pull you inside
'Cause you've been cheating death
You'll never make it alive
In a niteclub called Hell
[Verse 2]
You don't have to dance
But if you do, you won't stand out so much
Take one of these
It'll prove that you're one of us
The screams of the preachers He saw fit to abandon
Cut short with the wave of a manicured hand
And he signals to the band
[Bridge]
There's a long-lost lover on the side of a hill
I yell at her to slow down
But she runs away still
I said – Baby you don't have to apologise
If neither do I
There's an age-old question on the tip of my tongue
And if the answer's on the top
I'm on the bottommost rung
Nobody should die alone

Science of Move
03:19

|

|
[Verse 1]
I'm at the end of my tether
I gotta crank out a number 1
Before they find someone better lol
Is this the start of a new scene
Or just the end of another one
We need a change in the routine
A different flavour of bubblegum, yeah
[Chorus]
It's the Devil's daydream
It's the science of move
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna ruffle no feathers
'Cause its a waste of my energy
And when its burnt down to embers
We'll fade away from your memory
And I will sing like a bird for you
For a cage and a cigarette
I spent so long in the spotlight
Making friends with the silhouettes, yeah
[Chorus]
It's the Devil's daydream
It's the science of move
[Bridge]
What's it missing
What's it missing now
Calibrate the 808s / 909
Club appeal, a record deal
Karlsson and Winnberg
Whats it missing now
Pollination
What's it missing now
Revolution
What's it missing now
Contamination, evolution
What's it missing
What's it missing now

June Rain
03:54
|
|
||
|
[Verse 1]
I don't remember what her eyes looked like in the sunlight
I don't remember what her lips felt like pressed against mine
I don't remember enough
I don't remember how it feels to be in love
[Verse 2]
I don't remember which Pixies song was her favourite
I don't remember – it's been so long since we played it
I don't remember enough
I don't remember how it feels to be in love
[Bridge]
I saw her last night
Vision from an old war
She was only a bike ride away
I'd never been that way before
She was only a bike ride away
Downhill
Am I having a dream still?
Was she having the same dream last night?
I think she was
'Cause she looked happy to see me too
[Coda]
How I remember you is like raindrops in June
So carry on your own way

Part of Me
03:30
|
|
||
|
Tonight, tonight
We'll die together
[Verse 1]
There's a part of me
That lives inside my moonlight shadow
He takes control of me
And moves me to the beat
You and I are just the same
A beating heart without a name
Ouroboros that's us
So I'll start as I intend to go on
I will do you no wrong
[Verse 2]
The tender flesh around the neck
Sinews tear, legs kick
Casting dancing shadows in the moonlight
But you and I are just the same
A part of me that dies today
I try to warn you but it's too late
Tonight I will do you no wrong
|

Keep Calm and Carry On
04:20
|
|
||
|
[Verse 1]
You are all I think about
And have been since we met
Pour yourself a drink
I'm gonna need a safety net
When I stop falling
Once I've collided with the Earth
So here's to us, who both
Know what your life is worth
[Verse 2]
I woke up to your smell
Hard rain like daggers 'round us fell
And in your perfect soul
Our pieces merged 'gainst our control
So come to Paris with me
Let our infectious love mature
Eternal youth is in
Parisian liquour
[Bridge]
You build me up like the Berlin Wall
Then tore me down
Unopened flower on a waterfall
On higher ground
You build me up like the Berlin Wall
Then tore me down
Unopened flower on a waterfall
On higher ground
A level playing field, an open goal
And a mutual friend
I never meant to pollute your soul
But would again
Yeah, yeah
[Coda]
To spare me your self-righteous indignation
I've cut off all forms of communication
There's no hope of rehabilitating me
So keep calm and carry on
I'm out of touch with my generation
I've lost control of the situation
There's no hope of rehabilitating me
So keep calm and carry on
