Auditorium
Here
I speak
Here
I’m speaking
Here
I speak
Here
I’m speaking
But you don’t hear me
You don’t hear me
Would you like to see me instead
Do you see
A snake
Spitting
What do you see
Do you seek
A slit
Unstitching
What do you keep
Oh what do you keep
Oh what do you keep from me
In the auditorium
Where the younger boys get sent
In the auditorium
Listen to the song get bent
Now to the memorium
Hear the older boys give speeches
Here at the memorium
There is only one story reaching
But here I speak
But here I’m speaking
Here I shriek
But you only want to
See what you want to see
You only want to
See what you want to see
You only want to
See what you want to see
You only want to
Do you see a snake spitting
A slit unstitching
What do you keep
Oh what do you keep me from
Oh what do you keep me from
In the auditorium
Where the younger boys get sent
In the auditorium
Listen to the song get bent
Now to the memorium
Hear the older boys give speeches
Here at the memorium
There is only one story featured
In the auditorium
Where the younger boys get sent
In the auditorium
Listen to the song get bent
Now to the memorium
Hear the older boys give speeches
Here at the memorium
There is only one story featured

Heaving

Send me to sleep
A drop of something strong
From my lover’s teeth
Teach me to keep
The doubt from growing
The fear of the slit showing
Touch me I’m weak
I trace the line of love
Just above the river of blood
On the body
Baby
There’s death and there’s dawn
And I can’t stop it at all
And I don’t want to always be
Dreaming of more
I wanna be hot
I wanna be hot and helpless
I wanna be hot
I wanna be hot and helpless
I wanna be hot
I wanna be hot and helpless
I wanna be hot
I wanna be hot and helpless
In the forest of your form
On our living room floor
Heaving
Heaving
Heaving
Heaving
And then to sleep
A drop of something strong
From my lover’s teeth
Teach me to keep
The doubt from growing
The fear of the slit showing
The doubt from growing
The fear of the slit showing
On the body
Baby

Stereoscope

Stereoscope
Sunday’s got my throat
Stereoscope
Sunday’s got my throat
Your blue eyes
Pressed against the portal
Past present
Dim dazzling
Do you mind if I leave on the light
Do you mind the theft of a line
My my my my morning
My my my my mourning
Weight in my hands
To stop me from the calling
Tick tock full stop
Words of wonder
Words to right
Words of royal beauty bright
Write write write write
Right right right right right
Lips to the page
A tree a death a thought
To be set
To be saved
To be treasured
To be stored away
A day a day a day day
A day a day a day a day
Stereoscope
Sunday’s got my throat
Stereoscope
Sunday’s got my throat

Burning Building
02:56

Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
I’m sauntering out of a burning building
I’m not sure if I made it
But I’ve got plenty of ideas for re-arranging
I don’t like it here
But I don’t want to go
And be out there on my own
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
I’m catwalking out of a burning building
Perhaps if I could frame it
If I could find a way to stage it
I’d make a euro or two
Perhaps I’d put this name to use
It’s the truth
It’s the truth
An excuse
An excuse
To give into the game
Oh the fantasy of fame
While I mock the magazine
Those tender glossy
She
She
She
She
Would she stay if she could see
What’s in the centre fold out sheet
Her life-sized lover on heat
Locked inside of a pent up suite
Sweet
Sweet enough to stay
Tame
Train
What came first
The pet or the stray
Killer
Prey
Prey
Prey
Prey
Pray
Pray
Pray
Pray
Hey girl Let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
Hey girl let’s go
I’m watching the world from a burning building
It’s the only home I know
It’s the only home I know
It’s the only home I know
It’s the only home I know

Feedback Hounds
03:56
|
|||
I want to be seen
But I don’t want to show
I’m not willing to go there
Not willing to go
I preach that it’s good to be alone
But what do I know
I’m lonely
But I’ve been calling it learning
And it’s only
That I’m quietly burning
So bring me friends to kiss my mouth
Skin to soothe the feedback hounds
That echo through this human house
Deafeningly loud
And I too proud to let them out
To play with the kids in town
I wanna sing to woo you
I wanna sing really fucking well to fool you
Into thinking I’m free
That I’ve both very crisp and very love-soaked sheets
I’m a cheat
I’m a child
I’m a charlatan
I’m shy and I’m shit and I’m caving in
And I don’t want you here to see this how this ends
I’m a coward
I vandalised a map
And I buried it in song
And I don’t know if it was right
Or very very wrong
And I don’t know what happens
If you play along
And I don’t want to lose you
But I’m not gonna win
‘Cause I can’t seem to grasp
That it’s not a competition
I’m lonely
But I’ve been calling it learning
And it’s only
That I’m quietly burning
So bring me friends to kiss my mouth
Skin to soothe the feedback hounds
That echo through this human house
Deafeningly loud
And I too proud to let them out
To play with the kids in town

Front Row
03:15
|

It would be unwise
To fantasise about your night
It would be unwise
To fantasise about your finding
It would be unwise to
Fantasise
About the girl in the front row
Who makes you feel
That you’d like to know
About her
About you
When there’s nothing and everything to lose
About her
About you
When there’s nothing and everything to prove
It would be unkind
To think about the backstage lights
It would be unkind
To compare it to a warmer night
One where I stood where she stood
And held nothing back
Though perhaps I thought I should
So she could
When it was new
And I knew
That there was nothing that I wouldn’t do
When it was new
And I knew
That there was nothing that I wouldn’t do
But I wouldn’t keep you
If you didn’t want me to
But when I close my eyes
She is near to you
And you are sound and song
And sweet and it feeds and it feels
And it’s her and you
And I’m trying not to slip
But it’s no use
And I’m holding two
Too much from you
I’m holding two
Too much from you
I’m holding two
I’m holding

Tender
04:44
|

I’m finding it hard to be tender
I’m finding it tough to the touch
The blade of the tongue the defender
The trace of the thumb to crush
The weight of the water
The way through the waves
The hopeful daughter
Unable to play
The weight of the water
The way through the waves
The hopeful daughter
Unable to stay
I’m finding it hard
Spinning
Sinking
Is it the same thing
Splitting
Blinking
A slit to an ending
Healing
Heaving
The bile that the past brings
Dusting
Dreaming
Corners for meaning
Dear I can’t find
The switch to the light
Dear you’re quite right
I’ve lost it tonight
And how I’d like to save this
Dear I can’t find
The switch to the light
Dear you’re quite right
I’ve lost it tonight
I’m finding it hard to be tender
I’m finding it tough to the touch
The blade of the tongue the defender
The trace of the thumb to crush
Oh dear I lied
I pulled out the wires
But wait for the warmth
From the electrical fire

Heaven Sent
04:01
|
|||
I think about
The open mouth
The hungry sky
Your soft thighs
Is there enough time
How much it of it will you be mine
Did you ever think it could be
Something quite as sweet as this to breathe
In your lover’s words the morning sea
Nothing quite as soft as
She is heaven sent
And I don’t want her to leave
Did you ever think it could seep
Quiet into the bones a body weeps
In your lover's arms how do you keep
Something quite as light as
She is heaven bent
And I don’t want her to leave
I just want to feel her body free
I just want to feel her next to me
I just want to know what she needs
I just want to know she knows
Did you see the way she looked at me
I think she loves me
Don’t you
Did you see the way she looked at me
I think she loves me

Undress
04:59
|
|||
I can’t hear clearly
I can’t hear clearly
And I don’t want a seat in this house
That’s afraid of being wet
Where I can’t seem to undress anything
I can’t seem to undress anything
And I don’t want to want it all
But what if I’m not more
Will you still call
What made you fall in the first place
I’m so behind in this race
Did I just call it a race
I can’t rest
But I can’t progress either
I can’t stop
Trying to thin down these thighs
I can’t stop
Trying to thin down my thighs
Please don’t tell me you love me
In this light
I won’t be able to believe
It’s a lie
It’s a lie
It’s a lie
Look how beautiful you are when you fly
Why would I pull you out from that sky
Look how beautiful you are when you fly
Why would I pull you out from that sky
Look how beautiful you are when you fly
Why would I pull you out from that sky
Look how beautiful you are when you fly
Why would I pull you out from that sky
It’s better when you’re here you know
But I’m so scared of being left alone
That sometimes it feels I might just ask you to go
To stop the fear in my heart that feeds on the hope
That you won’t
Take me home
Leave me alone
Take me home
Please don’t go
Please don’t go
Please don’t go
Please don’t go
