Lowercase 03:49
lyrics

I can step in between A view they couldn’t believe I can step to the side Where no distance is wide My arms extended to the sky My entire body turns light for a while Life’s more fun in lowercase On the run without a chase When telling my life story Perspective is reality Hazy view through a telescope Like baptising the Pope My hands are portals I hope Life’s more fun in lower case On the run without a chase Oh, how we fit together I wondered what that means You used to be obsessed with wasabi peas You don’t buy them anymore Punching moths to feel safe Under the stairs when it gets late Punching moths to feel safe Under the stairs when it gets late Walking through the trees Feeling so alive No one can see me Beaming like a searchlight A day like this could be contagious In well manicured old mazes Life’s more fun in lowercase On the run without a chase Life’s more fun in lowercase

Missed Connection 03:41
lyrics

Missed connection I’ve been trying to reach you Bend your timeline Around your mind and find Ten thousand chances Squandered while I wandered Kicking rocks and stones To fathoms unknown Stop staring at the moon Notice my little clues Connect up the dots Check your blind spots Missed connection I’ve been trying to reach you Come around mine House number nine Don't run and hide From mysteries in the sky A distant outlier’s So far from your fire Stop staring at the moon Notice my little clues Light bulbs will pop Pennies will drop I’ve always been here Among the dogs and bears I’ve always been here For all of these years Stop staring at the moon Notice my little clues Connect up the dots Check your blind spots Stop staring at the moon Notice my little clues Light bulbs will pop Pennies will drop

Last I Saw You 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Last I saw you Perched on a roof Disarmed and aloof Enthused but confused Where are we going with this? What’s coming next? Time waits for me By an old fire Pulls apart feathers Writes me long letters Last I saw you Night and fog in the car Spinning plates and stars The tape plays on repeat Where are we going with this? What’s coming next? Time waits for me By an old fire Pulls apart feathers Writes me long letters Holding on to what’s real It’s a vintage feel Like I never grew older Heart songs of our age Sparking up my brain A nostalgic refrain Some dive brings it back So much to unpack And rest, rest Time waits for me By an old fire Pulls apart feathers Writes me long letters Time waits for me By an old fire Pulls apart feathers Writes me long letters

Chattering in Raptures 03:51
lyrics
buy track
When you came back with a flying hug And we caught up over a jug Strawberry mango lime You used to scorn I’m too mainstream And boring, unlike your dreams Shelved them all for old cliches What would your young self say? That nuclear residential Suppressing your potential You swear you’ll leave tomorrow And I’m finding a bridge to borrow Violin girl on the precipice Telling herself “I need this” You talked about when you were tripping Until I couldn't stand it And I'm not sure that it all happened The people under the floor Chattering in raptures Later when the whiskey starts to kick in Thinking ‘bout all the lives I’ve done That you’ll never know The river didn’t take you far But I’m long long gone I’m not that scared little deer Toughing it out one more year Not like you No, no, no way No, no, no way No, no, no way I’m not like you (Repeats x2)

Garden Variety 03:38
lyrics
buy track
The declarations you just can’t quite make An exposé saved for the next bell day You’re up late with all these forgotten memories Mind like a forest of gnarled old apple trees Everything will blow over The badger and boulder It’s something that you can’t write down or explain It doesn’t wash away when you shower and drain Wobbles on a long haul plane over the sea An overdue debut but you’re clumsy in the street Everything will blow over The badger and boulder Up and over when you shake it out Come on then send it, change your life now Familiar storm brewing up inside of me Common garden variety anxiety Everything will blow over The badger and boulder Lie down under a dark sky Ignore the mud tonight There’s not a bug in sight Watch the satellites Wish on the meteorites Everything will be alright

That'll Be a Mood 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Friends are on my back To write a happy track Said your songs are too sad Would some romance be so bad? Well I've tried chords and humming The magic wasn't coming It needs to be a great tune Only a banger will do Really what I want to say Is let's go on a date Let it take about three days So buckle up buttercup We could hike the highest hills And admire the gorgeous views Open up a Grand Cru A platter of great food Yeah that'll be a mood You in my favourite shirt Me in my pocket dress That would be the very best That would be the very best On bean bags with the sky above I'll point out all the stars I love Take a photo or two A cosy night I’d share with you Yeah that'll be a mood You in my favourite shirt Me in my pocket dress That would be the very best Is this happy enough for ya? Yeah that'll be a mood You in my favourite shirt Me in my pocket dress That would be the very best Yeah that'll be a mood You in my favourite shirt Me in my pocket dress That would be the very best You in my favourite shirt Me in my pocket dress That would be the very best

Stay All Night 03:53
lyrics
buy track
You’ve made my head all spun And I can’t tell anyone We’ll sneak around again When the time is right And I don't want to kick you out But you can't stay all night I wish one day you might Hope famously dies last, last Open up the cellar door Let out what’s inside Thumbnails and dares Coat tails and scares Dusted and rusted Ever wondered why I’ll see you in my sleep It won’t be anywhere else And I don't want to kick you out But you can't stay all night I wish one day you might Hope famously dies last, last A rabble rousing fuss Forged in the stars Can I pay the prices? Existential crisis Veering into a curve I am making my world More than myths and fables And I don't want to kick you out But you can't stay all night I wish one day you might Hope famously dies last, last And I don't want to kick you out But you can't stay all night I wish one day you might Hope famously dies last, last

Get the Eagle 03:06
lyrics

Looking glass Magic window A picnic a lifetime ago Anna's playing with the Panther While you're shrinking in the carpet You didn't know what it all meant then You'll know in another five or ten She can't wait for us to meet up A nameless life unstuck Dare you to get the eagle Bet it’s not even evil Feeling transcendental It's not the end at all No need to fear the circus It doesn't want to hurt us The apple of your eye Could be your bread butter and jam If you let it take you by the hand And submit to gravity Dare you to get the eagle Bet it’s not even evil Feeling transcendental It's not the end at all Scent of winter arriving Flapping of some wings Pink lady circling Tell me the truth Ella Not my real name Now I have no choice Dare you to get the eagle Bet it’s not even evil Feeling transcendental It's not the end at all Dare you to get the eagle Bet it’s not even evil

Tangled up in Flowers 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Bees are in a drawer An awful book of poetry You're having a bath in a sequined gothic dress I want to know the answers to the universe and panthers I see all the colours I'm tangled up in flowers I’m tangled up in flowers Alligators on the beach were wrestling for my kids Dogs on motorbikes looking Nigel like Alice is getting higher and lower in long clogs I see all the colours I'm tangled up in flowers I’m tangled up in flowers Secret mansions in the walls Night time lobbing tennis balls Microwaves are stuffed with clothes Blame bats or murderous dolls Low flying jets High heels in ice Snipers on the roof I see all the colours I'm tangled up in flowers I’m tangled up in flowers I’m tangled up in flowers ?? Love sign dove xylophone riding ?? White horse weird friends popular diving ?? Jumping jacks the brunch attacks ?? Gas man pipe and Peter Pan ?? Right from wrong stand up proud ?? Mouthing words from streaming clouds ?? Flying down a moat in France ?? There we march the Queen’s house!

You Look Like I'm Yesterday 02:42
lyrics

The strange particles over me Mirroring me from all I seem A raindrop in the breeze Everything recedes Pupils are getting wide Taking in time and light Next was never now Before was still to come You look like I’m yesterday The tyranny of far away Past, present, and future I will always remember Twenty one thirty fifteen Couldn’t build a time machine I’ll see you the long way round When we’re waiting to astound Four went around in circles Straightening the angles Flying tiger and the eagle Waiting for the boom You look like I’m yesterday The tyranny of far away Past, present, and future I will always remember You look like I’m yesterday The tyranny of far away Past, present, and future I will always remember
