Leopards 04:20
Leopards We all have our convictions Fossilising in our minds We all have predilections We collect them over time Don’t tie yourself in knots No fingers can unpick I’ve seen a leopard change its spots Don’t beat yourself with that old stick CHORUS Cos it’s okay to change your mind You could do U turn on it You could do U turn on it None of this is set in stone You could do U turn on it You could do U turn Between the fact and all the fiction Between the conquer and divide There’s a potential evolution And it’s whatever you decide A concrete point of view Could be a heavy cross to bear Well if you’re trying something new No one’s judging you I swear CHORUS Don’t tie yourself in knots No fingers can unpick I’ve seen a leopard change its spots Don’t beat yourself with that old stick YODA Cos it’s okay Yeah, it’s alright CHORUS

For H 04:06
For H You got the kind of smile to make a vicar wish Got me all sorts of ways like liquorice The way I love you it may be too inconspicuous I should show you all the time it’s ridiculous Still, cupid never seems to get sick of us Chill, Christmas everyday no need for Nicholas Angels up above see how they’re clapping us Like we discovered a new species of love, Galapagos Back to the, back to the mattress You’re the catalyst for 100% unfiltered happiness When this world gets venomous Storm clouds up ahead of us There could never really be anything instead of us But it’s hard not to be a pessimist When your hanging off of a precipice This world without you’s just a premises Your love is sunlight Your love is done right A lot of love don’t run right Ends up a bun fight But never this Never this x2 You make my thoughts impure You’re a force majeure My hooligan Boudican conqueror 18 years deep Bonafide veterans Playing the long game And it’s better than it’s ever been Ties never severing Lies we never let ‘em in Cancel the shotgun, run run tell the reverend It’s only ever been you, me and the ankle-biters Wading through the detritus Strumming on balalaikas Or some such I digress Your beautiful brain burns brightest, your highness I’ll be your Charlie Brown you can be my Linus Two whole souls stay gold touching Midas Your love is sunlight Your love is done right A lot of love don’t run right Ends up a bun fight But never this Never this x2

Like Yoda 03:52
Like Yoda I’ve got the worst hangover Looking a lot like Yoda Lying on the sofa Dying for Coca Cola Could somebody turn me over Cos I can’t feel my shoulder Looking just like my father Only 20 years older And my kids are looking at me like Who the fuck are you? Breath like dogshit Speckled in spew Feeling like a mummy In the British Museum Or a piece of dead meat In a Roman coliseum But CHORUS What’s a man to do What’s a man to do What’s a man to do when he keeps getting carried away When he keeps getting carried away What’s a man to do What’s a man to do What’s a man to do when he keeps getting carried away When he keeps getting carried away On the morning after I’m a blatant disaster Praying at the porcelane Shaking like I’m all in Losing my self control Sweating pure alcohol I’m a million years old it’s true It’s true yeah And my kids are looking at me like Who the fuck is this? On the bathroom floor All clenched like a fist Still feeling like a mummy In the British Museum Or a skinny passifist In a Roman coliseum But CHORUS Should probably put the brush to the teeth now Turn over this weeks new leaf now It’s like I’m trying to get dry with a tea towel Every damn day just delete and repeat, how Am I so pathetic The opposite of copasetic Gets right on top of me if I let it Remember when friends were electric, woah Every time I leave the house at night I keep getting carried away I keep getting carried Every time I leave the house at night I keep getting carried away I keep getting carried I got the worst hangover Looking a lot like Yoda Lying on the sofa Waiting for my chauffeur

Palomino Dreams Crossed the border in the evening time With the horizon swallowing light And the river was a single line Black water lonely, only Feening for the sea We sat up in the heather To watch the heavens scrolling by And the nights are long and lean They turn from red to green And all it’s ever been Is Palomino dreams We take the moments as they find us Frozen in a swollen gigabyte And the frequencies that bind us Remind us We are climbers On a dusty mountainside We sat up in the heather To watch the heavens scrolling by And the nights are long and lean They turn from red to green And all it’s ever been Is Palomino dreams You’ve always been a warrior/worrier In both senses of the word And this life has many blades But lately we only use one I could be watching my own back Or could I be watching my son’s Still the nights are long and lean They turn from red to green And all it’s ever been Is Palomino dreams
