I'm pretty busy these days You want to meet up But I can't say when I'm pretty busy these nights With all the feeling The feeling alright You can meet me You can come at the witching hour You can meet me You can come at the witching hour

House Party 03:17
The third floor Counting the stairs to the front door Moments don't wait I'm fashionably late Sideways sliding through the halls Backs pressed to walls Why did I come out tonight? It was quite nice at mine I went to a house party Your friends were there They were friends with me So we were at the same house party Dance for me I'm getting to know you Dance for me I'm getting to know you Find ourselves In the kitchen how it swells I've lost count I am feeling fine Feeling high I went to a house party Your friends were there They were friends with me So we were at the same house party Dance for me I'm getting to know you Dance for me I'm getting to know you I like that song you played I read about the band yesterday It makes me think about How things collide

Put my address in your pocket See where you end up Go get a little shine on Yeah Tell me your stories if you want Tell me nothing It's just stuff Get a little shine on Nightcap Nightcap So you say I'm pretty sharp Smart as you think you are Get a little shine on Perfect, perfect, Perfect nothing Did I mention the wall around my heart? Now that you got a shine on It's only a nightcap So you say It's only a nightcap And that's ok

Private Life 03:34
There's an architectural structure I can see In my mind faceless bodies balance delicately The only force I believe in is gravity There's strength at the joins Oh I think it never happened I am quite sure it was not fun I assure you the only witness was Elvis I wanna have a private life You can tell them about it I wanna have a private life You can tell them about it I wanna have a private life With you Unavailability is a pill of pain So I will not take it I will turn away And the momentary outline of us both Will slowly fade that's how it goes Oh I think it never happened I am quite sure it was not fun I guarantee the only witness was Elvis Tick, tick, tick, tick Goes the neck of my cervix Tick tick, tick, tick Every time I think of those words you said Tick, tick, tick, tick There's a clock in my body Can I find the switch in my head? I wanna have a private life You can tell them about it I wanna have a private life You can tell them about it I wanna have a private life With you

Riverfire 03:47
I should have picked you as a fade out Cos you came on so bright I should have seen it in the first note But I was all about the now back then The now back then The now back then Alright Bang, burn, gone You're like a Riverfire Look up it's over Let's burn all the cash That we can get our hands on Bang, burn, gone You're like a Riverfire Look up it's over Let's burn all the cash That we can get our hands on We're only ever in our own heads Checking out Checking in I made my way through the silences By imagining that I thought That you knew what I was thinking Bang, burn, gone You're like a Riverfire Look up it's over Let's burn all the cash That we can get our hands on

I see black balloons Pouring from you I see black balloons Pouring from you Our toes are curled Round the edge of the world Hanging on to what we know Hanging on to let go I see black balloons Pouring from you I see black balloons Pouring from you Let's trace imaginary lines Round the shapes we fantasise Cos even the best plans Are only plans Even the best plans Fall through Even the best plans Are only plans They can still come to nothing

It's about time, don't you think You stopped sleeping on my floor? Sure the rent is cheap But I can only be so cold in bed for so long I remember the night that we happened to be Cops and thugs simultaneously Tabs and carafes at the all night cafe You watched me and the doorway We made it home I still have the photo We look hardly like that now Gary's coming over I think Gary's coming It's about time, don't you think You stopped sleeping on my floor? Sure the rent is cheap But I can only be so cold in bed for so long

It's worth it It's super It's epic Sublime We're slipping I'm tripping Show me flaws I'll show you mine Too late, So close Could have to there if we tried Lost every moment You came back I don't know why Modern art Modern heart Modern man I don't understand It's nothing Forget it Blinkers on Defences up My ramble So downer Luck is strong Drink it up Might see you out there Might pass me by Let's pretend to forget So it's like the first time Modern art Modern heart Modern man I don't understand

The Headland 04:29
Relative stranger looking like you can keep up with this I hear you have hands to hold a mess I got some pieces you got some pieces Check out my dress I been living in the headland too long I been living in the headland too long I'm moving down with the feelings on I been living in the headland too long Something I hadn't predicted before How many ways can a fire be started? Looks like a bluff I should call you out If I only had some coins and your numbers This night would be ours I been living in the headland too long I been living in the headland too long I'm moving down with the feelings on I been living in the headland too long
