Hymn The Girl 01:52
lyrics
You want me to hymn the girl? Of all of the times i yearned Of sweet indecision, you made your incision Around and around, I turned The Sky was so dark at night You filled it with crazy light She moves with precision I’m lost to derision As she’s fading out of sight See this girl, I know She emits this glow I can’t see her face In her wake I go But I’m running slow I won’t win this race
2.
When You're Young 03:52
lyrics
you forgot what it feels like to be young with a girl on a blanket on a hillside stretching out into the sun cos it’s easy when you’re young with a girl on a blanket on a hillside laying back and having fun undone saturday always ends too soon summertime never gets past june someone else always takes his place after all it’s a loaded base saturday always ends too soon summertime never gets past june someone else always takes his place after all it’s a loaded base Is it wrong to forgive you any pain Cos the years disappear like Swirling water Disappearing down a drain Wanna do it all again As the years disappear like Swirling water Disappearing down a drain Unclaimed saturday always ends too soon summertime never gets past june someone else always takes his place after all it’s a loaded base saturday always ends too soon summertime never gets past june someone else always takes his place after all it’s a loaded base but i don’t feel like you’ve got appetite for going under

A Side 01:52
lyrics

Callin' Sarah 03:00
lyrics
She likes that vacuous shit Her target’s harder to hit than ever before And the wonder of it Is that I never admit which public phone booth I’m dialling from Can’t go on Her number ends in a six I’ve got a library of tricks at my disposal Don’t you see there’s a fix? Cos thru the mortar and bricks there runs a cable that takes me through Leads to you Callin Sarah Callin Sarah I don’t want you Callin Sarah You know I’ll never be caught I’m far too clever you ought to know that my now And I’ll never be bought Because the feeling is sort of perfect when she begins to say Go away Callin Sarah Callin Sarah I don’t want you Callin Sarah Cos I’m just blind I want to find What’s on your mind

Baby's Looking Backwards 02:26
lyrics
Always on your holidays And always in the past Meet me in person the present day It’s never gonna last Cos baby’s looking backwards And down Baby’s looking inwards not out My baby’s always wearing A frown Never in the light of day By night it comes to pass Standing here I’m flesh and blood You’re digging in the grass Cos baby’s looking backwards And down Baby’s looking inwards not out My baby’s always wearing A frown Hanging with the dead Hanging with the dead that’s you Robbing all the graves I’ll be back there too

Dance On 03:16
lyrics
Run through the dark streets they’re lethal to roam Far from their parents all sheltered at home As the explosions flare Over Leicester Square Fear from the skies as the warning it blares Down in the cafe forgetting their cares And they’re dancing There’s a hundred people dancing While the city burns They’re dancing Meanwhile the king won’t be moved from his throne Stands with his people their bravery well known Oh their children will sing London will swing Back in that basement they’d lose all their airs Down in the cafe the kingdom is theirs And they’re dancing There’s a hundred people dancing While the city burns They’re dancing But it’s hard for to see where tomorrow they’ll be With the days oh so slow and the nights all aglow And it’s hard for to see where tomorrow they’ll be Here it comes a surprise for to light up their eyes They’re on fire And they’re dancing There’s a hundred people dancing While the city burns They’re dancing

Square Eyes 03:21
lyrics
Your square eyes don’t tell lies And I can’t hide that I’m not fine In your room trapped inside But when you’re singing and playing Your eyes go wide Baby you’re unhypnotised And I think that I know why cos I’m like a child Little bit of history Come unlock a mystery Imma wanting you to see that I’m like a child All these screens And not yet teens Scrambled brains Such a shame Then there’s you What to do? cos when you’re singing and playing Your eyes go wide Baby you’re unhypnotised And I think that I know why cos I’m like a child Little bit of history Come unlock a mystery Imma wanting you to see that I’m like a child like a child yeah when you’re singing and playing Your eyes go wide Baby you’re unhypnotised And I think that I know why cos I’m like a child Little bit of history Come unlock a mystery Imma wanting you to see that I’m like a child

Surf Me 02:57
lyrics
wake up every morning stiff as a board waiting for you to desert me when you know you're on your way to the beach there's plenty ways you can use me Won't you surf me? Get a little bit of wax on my back I promise that I'll be perfect Girl well as a matter of fact You know it's gonna be worth it I tried some yoga and some exercise too It didn't work it still hurts me When you head out and you take to the waves You're overdue to convert me Won't you surf me? Get a little bit of wax on my back I promise that I'll be perfect Girl well as a matter of fact You know it's gonna be worth it And how I wish it's only me that could shoot your curl You know I wish it's only me that could shoot your curl Get a little bit of wax on my back I promise that I'll be perfect Girl well as a matter of fact You know it's gonna be worth it

We're Gonna Win 03:00
lyrics
I’m here to you tell you everything will be ok That all the problems in your life will fall away On fire you’re getting higher Your ship is coming in We’re all going to win we’re all gonna win though the odds are stacked and our horse ain’t backed We’re all gonna win. We’ll open the door We’re hoping for more cos when the chips are down The only show in town we’re all gonna win I just came by to say that things will work out fine That soon enough you’ll find yourself up on cloud 9 Set free upon the sea You’re sailing with the wind When you got a case of rockin pneumonia When you realise that your girl hasn’t phoned ya When you’re poor and no money won’t go far
