Storey of Corruption 04:22
lyrics

Growth, expand, thrive, drive Big car All shaped up and shipped out Bottoms up In Bristol fashion Ministers go stalling, ministers Break 'em, make 'em Winston would have approved Not kind, your kind, will give 'em a hand Second home Hospitality Bulk, buy in bulk Store, wine-cellar Merchant says to queen I'll salute Lets talk Bury the hatchet Pull up a seat, donors Shakespeare would have approved Knight 'em buy 'em All stand up Catch me if you can Growth, expand, thrive, drive Big car Gotta' big car Gotta' big black Gotta' drive around in my Big Black Car Killing You Slow in my Big Black Car Killing You Slow in my Big Black...

Vanishing Breeds 03:10
lyrics
buy track
There you stand upon your hill looking down on the ships That sail into your beautiful harbour Those menacing people they come from their lands to take you over It's a definite outcome so here's the consequences Vanishing birds, vanishing bees, vanishing bats, vanishing trees Vanishing here, vanishing there Vanishing breeds, everywhere Hide behind a veiled truth You had it good So what should you Call it all the things you will I'll call it a vanishing you Dinosaurs on Jupiter it's just a case of freak weather Vanishing birds, vanishing bees Vanishing bats, vanishing trees Vanishing here, vanishing there Vanishing bats, vanishing trees Vanishing here, vanishing there Vanishing breeds everywhere Vanishing birds, vanishing bees Vanishing bats, vanishing trees Vanishing here, vanishing there Vanishing breeds everywhere

Woolly Kind of After-thoughts 03:50
lyrics
buy track
There is a nice path that does lead From my hidden Mountain retreat It's secretly not by the sea On a far away island Won't stoop to those woolly kind of after-thoughts Idealism go take a talk I made it here all alone Crowned king of the castle I've got an army of lawyers now Working on loopholes at the back The sun and Fish do can the can And mosquitoes do drown in rum Mop the passage and sweep the drive I've never heard of it meet the wife Bag the booty and bury that blight And meet the locals at my door

Nowhere fast 07:46
lyrics
buy track
Can a job make you someone fast Can a child help you take the better path To be in love and have a lovely life And have those four walls And the trappings that appear To be stable in the end That is built on a foundation That is only really strong As the weakest link Plant a bomb and see your whole life gone Put a knife in her back and you won't last long It's all so fleeting and fragile like glass Drop it on the ground and you'll falling on your little arse This impulse that keeps a nagging at you under control It's constantly there Like the cars in the road Moves along in shadows of the night Feeling all inside To be by your side Beat him up and shout it out Grey is pale of a shade Bulking at this life Feigning surprise Shallow in fright Underneath the bright lights Like a relic a surprise Glass up deeds not sovereign Music heaped Out not of my control Surpass surpass the burial Time alone An out of sorts A growth sublime Words don't follow Or kept trancing Fetish unspoken Last man Rusting Muddle to the floor A Photo at your side Riding around in a two gallon hat singing the rebel song You Can't miss the case of the two foot eleven inch Mr Stratton See the dance of the frogs and the snort of the horse the wail of the crazed dogs There in the wings are the love ladies chirping missing their rings The actors and quacks and the strong minded women

The Yankee Circus Song 04:53
lyrics
buy track
Riding around in a ten gallon hat singing the rebel song You Can't miss the case of the two foot eleven inch Mr Stratton See the dance of the frogs and the snort of the horse And the wail of the wild dogs There in the wings are the love ladies who are missing the rings Is It a case that the young girls love the lads That jump on the back of their cars Jumping the queue for the fire throats Getting your hands badly burnt The north south divide Mr Rice gets the crowd on his side It's full of the tumblers and jaunters and a tightrope walkers Flexing their muscles The actors and quacks and strong minded women Drinking you under the bar José the clown who looks sad without his make-up on The entrepreneur changing flags at the border So the show could go on

Flow 05:08
lyrics
buy track
We walk around always grounded There's life up there upon the branches Flow Taste the fruit that is ripe Eat It slowly take a bite Flow All the peoples separation Come together in imagination Flow Take the route that leads to nowhere Understand it can be somewhere Flow All he good things in life are free No need to tell it to the birds and bees Flow Take the facts that could be wrong Choose your side and move Along Flow And all the fuss for god sake See it sketched upon your face Flow Think about Evolution That didn't need a Revolution Flow Laughing crying wearing a crown Play it Out play it loud Flow

Feel The Efects of it From Afar 04:18
lyrics

Coach/poach me if you can 'Cause I like it from the can Trust in me I'll trust in you Believing all the things you say That are not true anyway Greedy yes you Platitudes gone to far I feel the effects of it from afar Feel the effects of it Feel the effects of it From afar

Serenade in the Basement 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Words were bombing her patience Serenade in the basement Then running out for a shake Give them a break And let them find their space They are never the same When they come back again Hey there It was all at stake at the day job Never knew it was a paid job Into the grey zone again And Janice she worked around her cycles Cared behind her bloodshot eyeballs Never out in the rain What a shame the fantasies were to blame So she went hiding out in the station Talking to strangers again About the way it all turned out in the cupboard She thought she was her mother She finally did what she said To the arcade Where her money drops away Off the edge of the waterfall She lied that she was there all day So to home her company mostly alone Talking to Matt Monroe She seemed like a happy soul

Fetish Unspoken 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Moves along in shadows of the night Feeling all inside To be by your side Beat him up and shout it out Grey is pale of a shade Bulking at this life Feigning surprise Shallow in fright Underneath the bright lights Like a relic a surprise Glass up deeds not sovereign Music heaped Out not of my control Surpass surpass the burial Time alone An out of sorts A growth sublime Words don't follow Or kept trancing Fetish unspoken Last man rusting Muddle to the floor A Photo at your side
