SEEIN' AIN'T BELIEVIN'
Seein’ is believin’ ain't my philosophy anymore. Can't get what you need just by feeling on your knees to the door.
Oh Mr Memory you surely aren't my cup of tea no more
I need to find my steering wheel
You're lit by candle light, I'm flying in my neon skies.
I need to find my steering wheel
All little people forget there's a universe at all
Feeling up their dreams til their tenting at the seams for the show.
Chorus
Happiness it comes and goes
.
Still you try and cram it into your soul.
Seein’ is believin’ ain't my philosophy anymore.
Can't get what you need just by feeling on your knees to the door.
Chorus
Happiness it comes and goes
Still you try and cram it into your soul.

MY MY MY
With a cartographer's grace you mapped my soul
Tied around your pretty clothes into a wrecking ball
When you sing to yourself do you hear
Your inner marketeers?
Do they find a way
Do you make them disappear?
Oh my, you try to be good
I wish you could
With a mineshaft blackened face looking for clues
To what makes you brave and how to undo
You’re 300 Spartans strong
I'm Xerxes in a thong
I will find a way
To make you say
Oh my, you try to be good
I wish you could
With a cartographer’s grace you mapped my soul
Tied around your pretty clothes into a wrecking ball
And the sea it waits
For you to escape
Another tide to take you into space
Oh my, you try to be good

From Behind a Clock

FROM BEHIND A CLOCK
I watch the world
From behind a clock
I hold onto big hands
And I let the minutes drop
My life is falling apart in my hands
But you move so easy
Like a fossil in the sand

Sunlight

SUNLIGHT
The hills that separate
The river from the stream
Keeps you from me
And the moss that grows
On the side of the hill
Where the shadows play
Soaks up the water
So give me a light
In the storm tonight
She's wasting all my time
Well I've been coasting
Round the world
All these lives searching for sunlight
Well it draws up water
Stops the hills spilling over
And keeps my knees dry
So give me a light
In the storm tonight
She's wasting all my time
An eye for an eye
Just to keep you dry
She's wasting all my time

Live Like Me

LIVE LIKE ME
Your mates see it better than you do
The point you're trying to make doesn't sit right
And you're sounding like a 14 year old anarchist
In the middle of a tantrum
I'm guessing that you don't like your TV
You probably think it's sucking the life right from your tits
But I've seen renegades about your size
In the middle of the playground
And I wish I was brave like you
To stomp my feet and shout about
Oh live like me
Yeah live like me
Please live like me
Your mates see it better than you do
The point you're trying to make doesn't sit right
And you're sounding like a 14 year old anarchist
In the middle of a tantrum
I wish I was brave like you
To stomp my feet and shout about
Oh live like me
Yeah live like me
Please live like me

WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE NOT A REAL FORTUNE TELLER
We All Know You're Not a Real Fortune Teller
We all know you're not a real fortune teller
We all know you're not a real fortune teller
But I need to hear someone tell my story
Uncertainty terrifies me
So tell me once again that I won't be a nothing
‘Cause I need to hear it all the time
Tell me, tell me, it's alright
We all know you're not a real fortune teller
We all know you're not a real fortune teller
But I need to hear someone tell my story
I'd even let you electrify me
So tell me once again that my future’s golden ‘
Cause I need to hear it all the time
Tell me, tell me, it's alright

THE SOUND YOU MAKE WHEN YOU'RE AFRAID
Hear me
Do I sound afraid?
I don't know why you bother with your safety talk
It's too dangerous, it costs too much
You start to get the feeling that you sound afraid
Outside
There's a world that waits
I know you can't be bothered with my fairy talk
It's too dangerous, it costs too much
You start to get the feeling that you sound afraid
All your life can be found
When you find you're falling
Don't stop now
Look around
Yeah you've found a way inside
You'll find you'll be fine
You'll be fine
Hear me
Do I sound afraid?
I don't know why you bother with your safety talk
It's too dangerous, it costs too much
You start to get the feeling that you sound afraid
All your life can be found
When you find you're falling
Don't stop now
Look around
Yeah you've found a way inside
You'll find you'll be fine
It's just the sound that you make when you're afraid

GODZILLA
It's all been a bit predictable so far
Watching a child building towers
At the speed of a race car
It's all been a bit predictable so far
And when she runs out of bricks
Godzilla will handle it
And when she gets in a fix
Godzilla will handle it
It's only momentary
This feeling she has
She'll ride on the back of it though
As fast as she can
It's all been a bit predictable so far
Watching her towers tumble downwards
At the speed of a cheetah
And when she runs out of bricks
Godzilla will handle it
And when she gets in a fix
Godzilla will handle it
It's only momentary
This feeling she has
She'll ride on the back of it though
As fast as she can

What You Mean to Me

WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
Sometimes I wake up inside someone else's head
When they got my mind, my heart, my tongue
But my soul has fled
(Into the waves)
A collision course is all I need to find it again
To re-disperse my universe to see, clearly
What you mean to me

I Should've Let You Know
03:44

I SHOULD'VE LET YOU KNOW
I should’ve let you know
I have a way with words
And sometimes use it so people like me
And I should’ve let you know
I’m not really into trees
I just said it so you’d like me
But in the end we’re still friends
And that’s something
There’s only life, I find I like living
Still, I should’ve let you know
I played the doctor with that kid
‘Cause I saw you there
So you’d like me
And I should’ve let you know
I disagreed with all your principles
So you’d hate me
All the things that I’ve done
I’ve done to keep moving
I don’t expect to find peaceful living
Still I should’ve let you know
I’m not a vegetarian
I just pretended so you wouldn’t judge me
And I should’ve let you know
I’ve been known to overuse the word special
If I think you like me
I come into my own
When I know it’s on the table
If there’s even a chance we won’t dance
I won’t listen
