Ellipsis 04:24
lyrics
The sunlight leads on A dark flower reaches for space Signposted, graffitied The world will be a lesser place Without it, oh yeah And how do you think it knows? And how do you think it knows? They trick us into thinking There's no way There's always a way (x2) The moonlight leads on A dark flowers reaches for grace Signposted, graffitied The world will be a lesser place Without it, oh yeah And how do you think it knows? And how do you think it knows? They trick us into thinking There's no way There's always a way (x2) Reaches for space Reaching for grace The moonlight leads on Reaches for space Reaching for grace The sunlight leads on

Disappoint Me 02:49
lyrics
All phones are off the hook All heads are buried in the night All taking the stands and walking the planks for free Trying to remember how to believe It's never The story they want, and it's a shame To have to disappoint you Blind faith Is not the same as complacency And you disappoint me A streak across the sky And across your face Red white red white red... white fingers Clinging on swinging on to a conker on a string What a useless thing It's never The story they want, and it's a shame To have to disappoint you Blind faith Is not the same as complacency And you disappoint me You act, you act Like this happens all the time Well not to me it don't, no not to me it don't Go back, go back: A kiss - was that what you wanted? Well not from me you don't No not from me you don't It's never The story they want, and it's a shame To have to disappoint you Blind faith Is not the same as complacency And you disappoint me You disappoint me You disappoint me You disappoint me You disappoint me

Updraft 04:47
lyrics
We saw her fly up in the hills that day And dive away Magnified, we marveled at birds of prey For all that day Please hold the mountains there for me Please hold a steady gaze for me I'm not used to being the one who goes The one who leaves I traded melting snow for beaches and harbour scenes Harbour scenes Ooh I'll hold the sunshine here for you Ooh I'll hold a steady gaze for you Traveling through the air Your girl with a jetlagged stare Her internal siren wails and shoots a flare "It's a trap it's a trap it's a trap Get out while you can" But that's a lie And I know that inside And one of these days the rest of it will glide Like the beautiful beautiful birds in the updraft The beautiful birds Like the beautiful beautiful birds in the updraft You were there the whole time I saw it through your eyes I felt your hand squeeze mine Until I couldn't tell Where I stopped and you began Where I stopped and you began Ooh I'll hold a steady gaze for you Ooh I'll hold a steady gaze for you Traveling through the air Your girl with a jetlagged stare Her internal siren wails and shoots a flare "It's a trap it's a trap it's a trap Get out while you can" But that's a lie And I know that inside And one of these days the rest of it will glide Like the beautiful beautiful birds in the updraft You were there the whole time Til I couldn't tell where I stopped and you began

Averting Tragedies 03:27
lyrics
We are invisible But what can the invisible see? Let's float to the surface Come gasp for breath with me We could do it, here now We went through it, somehow It's important to say These things aloud I can't save him Any more than I should expect you to save me Yet here we are releasing doves And averting tragedies Please honey, trust yourself I am panicking but It's just a Freudian projection of A fortnight's worth of mess I don't actually need the protection, no We could do it, here now We went through it, somehow It's important to say These things aloud I can't save him Any more than I should expect you to save me Yet here we are releasing doves And averting tragedies Please honey, trust yourself.

Modern Wizardry 04:01
lyrics
What would bring us both to cease? How was I to know? A part of us was ignorant How were you to know Far inside your blurred domain A lapse of memory Perhaps you would have dragged me home If it weren't for modern wizardry Under the spell of modern wizardry Under the spell Because nobody wants to be The monsters we become The tiny monsters we become Within you and within me Far inside your blurred domain A lapse of memory Perhaps I would have dragged you home If it weren't for modern wizardry Under the spell of modern wizardry Under the spell A lapse of memory This so-called wizardry Modern technology Intense psychiatry Monsters inside of you Monsters inside of me You are still...

Lake Cargelligo 04:42
lyrics
Can't you see they want your head on a plate? Well here's a secret: you don't have to run to escape They'll brand it "searching", they'll call it "fleeing from the truth" But you know better, you don't need an eye for an eye Or a tooth for a tooth And these are the things I realise now We triumph where machines fail As human, it's you man You will fall along the way As human, it's you man That is what will make you great Oooh-oh Oooh-oh Ooo-oooh Because it's family you don't wanna let it go But they've got fingers in all their listening holes Leave that box there it's coming apart at the seams Inside they're pushing buttons pulling levers Watching pulsing blips move across a tiny screen And these are the things I realise now We triumph where machines fail As human, it's you man You will fall along the way As human, it's you man That is what will make you great Oooh-oh Oooh-oh Ooo-oooh You are not a machine.
