SINGLE: Working Against Me

SONG: Working Against Me

I took my time
And whatever else I could find
I didn't care at the time
I've got it all planned
I'm gonna mark out my land
I've drawn some lines in the sand
I thought time would change things
I thought that things would change
I thought you thought I think you thought
But everything is the same
I try to stay between your world and mine
But that's a crooked line
And I don't wanna look at you
And I don't wanna have to think
I'll blame the captain and the crew
'cos they said it wouldn't sink
They said it wouldn't sink
My legs won't hold me up
Your heart is pounding in my head
My mouth seems to be working against me
I don't wanna look at you
And I don't wanna have to think
I'll blame the captain and the crew
'cos they said it wouldn't sink
They said it wouldn't sink
My legs won't hold me up
Your heart is pounding in my head
My mouth seems to be
My legs won't hold me up
Your heart is pounding in my head
My mouth seems to be working against me


SONG: Telescope

Can't place attachment
To such a contraption
At such an early hour
In such a desperate state
I won't rest on promises
Or guarantees or contracts
That don't lend any power
Or influence to fate
This device may make
The vulnerable visible
And the complex simple
Blast delusions of grandeur
Out of the sky
But the result is a sleep on the floor
With a bottle of wine
And I, and I, and I
Thinks he's probably not as clever as he thinks he is
Five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
Sitting on that plane getting cheated out of thursday
And all because of the laws of time and space
Across the aisle his tie wrapped round his neck
Arms wrapped round a briefcase
Like it's something or someone more important
And all the excitement
You can see the comet from here
You can see anything you wanna see
Magnified 500 times
I only wanna see you
But there's a comet blocking my view
You know we're probably not as clever as we think we are
Five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
He must have fallen asleep on the train
Must have missed his stop
I know you and you know me
But I've got a telescope now and it's all that I need
It's all that I need
You're all that I need
All that I need
Five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
He must have fallen asleep on the train
Must have missed his stop
I know you and you know me
But I've got a telescope now and it's all that I need
It's all that I need
I can see
You're all that I need
All that I need


SONG: All the Things that Aren't Good about Scientology

Hello, is anybody home?
The lights were on
Try and switch to manual control
But it's been on auto pilot for so long
And I've been working on the theory that
Someone's always worse off
And I've been thinking
I'm too young
And now what?
For you...
What are you going to do?
Can't consume slowly
Too much to see
Too much to read
On your bridge to OT
But someone, somewhere's
Pushing a world around on four wheels
And tonight in your town
The stars are looking down
On you and me
And now what?
For you...
What are you going to do?
The news comes twice a week
Like a chinese whisper
Not the same when it reaches me
Safer to see than to be seen
Safer given lines to drive
Between
And it's such a small room
It's a danger
And the pictures on the wall
Might mean nothing at all
But they're mine
Will you notice?
What will you say?
Any attempts to compensate
Would not go unnoticed
And I've been thinking
I'm too young for all of this
Too young...


SONG: The Last Minute (Djinji Brown remix)

Just a simple change of scenery
From 360 degrees
Maybe it's all we need
6, 5, 4, 3
Welcome to the last minute
And we've spent it on a sound byte
A phrase, a well thought out line
12, 11, 10, 9
Carry it on your back
Hold it before your eyes
Breathe it in
And then say goodbye
You tore
You tore off all the wrapping and you didn't read the card
Tomorrow was a blessing and a gift
Not a guarantee not a new car
We left today breathing its last breath
Somewhere back down the line
This is the beginning of the end
Of the beginning of the end
Beginning of the end
Carry it on your back
Hold it before your eyes
Breathe it in
And then say goodbye
Say goodbye
We're getting warmer, we're getting closer
Getting warmer, getting closer
But you know
Time will come
And make a fool out of you and me
Some other time could we?
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
