Lyrics from the album "Now We're Happy"

Turn Me On

I think we've met before
But I don't recognise your face
I was a Billy boy
You were a Martha girl
I loved you since the day we met
In fact I'd say the stage was set in place

And your love will turn me on

You gave me tenderness
I brought you presents made from wood
What have you've done with them
I can't remember when
We last together paid for two
And now you have forgotten too for good.

And your love will turn me on
And your smile will turn me on
And your everything will turn me on

You tried to hide your schemes
But I could see the maps upon your face
I thought it was a dream
Till now I haven't seen
The best that you can give to me
So I'll just sit and wait here just in case

And your love will turn me on
And your smile will turn me on
And your everything will turn me on

I'm Falling

I don't know where I'm falling
But I'm falling to where I fall down
I can't see where I'm looking
My eyes are fixed on you
There must be some confusion
I'm a loser, losing time
So why is everybody still shocking
Hey I need that too

You're in the wake of the lifeboat
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm making space as I tumble
I'm falling, I'm falling

I can't hear what you're saying
But keep talking its just a matter of time
Until we both start dreaming
Then we can communicate outside
Don't ask me why I'm falling
I'm stalling, ask me if I lied
My engine's running out of excuses
And my hands are tied

You're in the wake of the lifeboat
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm making space as I tumble
I'm falling, I'm falling
There air is getting clearer
I'm falling, I'm falling
And I can't wait till I hit the ground

Look out below, look out cause I'm coming down

You're in the wake of the lifeboat
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm making space as I tumble
I'm falling, I'm falling
There air is getting warmer
I'm falling, I'm falling
My breathing's slowing down
I'm falling, I'm falling
And I can't wait till I hit the ground

I Feel Fine

Wait, pass the time, pass the wine, pass what's mine
Keep in frame, keep in rain, keep inside
When I leave you in the dark its 'cause somebody left a mark
And I feel fine

Stay, stay and play, stay all day, we're okay
We're alright, nothing to fight, until its night
Well I wish you weren't the one who said you'd miss me when I'm gone
Just like today

Wait, pass the time, pass the wine, pass what's mine
Keep in frame, keep in rain, keep inside
Well I wish you weren't the one who said you'd miss me when I'm gone
Just like today
When I leave you in the dark its 'cause somebody left a mark
And I feel fine

You Make Me Want to Clean My Room

Lazing while the day is young
Waking to good morning sun
I take a look around
There is no floor to be found

Something else is coming soon
You make me want to clean my room

I've done the kitchen, I've done the hall
I'd better finish before you call
Do you regret anything?
Now I forget everything

Something else is coming soon
You make me want to clean my room
I've been swept off my broom
You make me want to clean my room
You make me want to clean my room

La la la la la la ooh ya ya ya ya

Dirty deeds are coming soon
You make me want to clean my room
All your friends are coming too
You make me want to clean my room

Who knows what tomorrow will bring
I might wake up and sing this song to you
Will you sing with me too?

Happiness is coming soon
You make me want to clean my room
I've been swept off my broom
You make me want to clean my room

Dirty deeds are coming soon
You make me want to clean my room
All your friends are coming too
You make me want to clean my room
You make me want to clean my room

La la la la la la

Welcome

When I step back in time
The world was straight
It was not fifteen eight
It was common

All the words knew
That four chords would do
Or maybe five
And that kept me alive

Wondering at the full moon
I lazed until noon
Then I cleaned up my room
And now here I am
I went to the door
And I fell on the floor
And I stayed here

I've been here before
But then it was
Owen who was on the floor
Its nice to be back
I fell on a pre-emptive tack

Mario and Owen are playing outside
Owen's playing seek
And Mario's got hide
Ryan's on a three month cruise
In the bathroom
Luckily a jazz band
Dropped by to play this tune

Heaven and the dust mite knows
That the dust might get up my nose

Day One

Day one we were almost scared
Looking like we offered whiskey
The process meant we all turned blue
Now it can only end in cigarette
Now I can't hardly see myself
My eyes may look like green ray gun
You must find it on the moors
You were sweet but you were caustic

You were sweet but you were caustic
You must find it under my suit
You're alright how you showed me
Years of gamblers none with heart
Wash 'em away lie in the dark
Money now it ain't so sharp
First the money next its fame
Where's the memory of that boy in the yard?

Day one we were almost scared
Looking like we offered whiskey
The process meant we all turned blue
Now it can only end in secret
Now I can't hardly see myself
My eyes may look like green ray gun
You must find it on the moors
You were sweet but you got carsick

Sucking limes for one last look
Supposing well now I must
Worship him with finer stick
Work that orange New Farmer
Once I got the mohawk up
Work is not a wolfish must
First its nice but still its five years
Work for money or pollution

In the Meantime

I'm in the meantime again
Wondering when its going to end
And the next time begins
But in the meantime

I'm in the meantime again
And so are all my friends
And we're making amends for the last time
And though the last time was good
We did things we never should
We did 'em 'cause we could
In the meantime

I'm in the meantime again
Wondering when its going to end
And the next time begins
Its been a long time

Since I had someone near
When I talk someone hears
But there's nothing to fear in the meantime

I'm in the meantime again
Wondering when its going to end
And the next time begins
But in the meantime

I'm in the meantime to stay
And I won't go away
I quit my job and took my pay
For the last time
Or for the meantime
For the meantime
For the meantime

This Time

This time things won't come between us
You are not from venus
Came long time ago
Life support in tow
Got lost along the way
You might as well stay
This time

This time we could stay together
We would make the weather
Rain or hail or shine
You would still be mine
Stop for half a day
Time enough to play
This time

This time things won't come between us
You are not from venus
You are from the moon
You'll go back there soon
I'll meet you on the ground
This time

My Life in a Jar

Why do you wait on somebody's hands
You show me up like nobody can
Passing all your bad luck over to me
And taking everything that I want to be

(chorus)
Well this is my life in a jar
Why do you love me from afar?
Everything's up when I am down
When I am down I'm all around

I've got electric hyper disease
Stemming from the life that I'm led to lead
It presses on me from the outside
Making me collapse implode and die

(chorus)

And the word that you said hit me harder than a lemon tree
Took a blow to the head, you're unconsciously killing me
In a way I'll repay every minute that you bought from me
In a while honey child you'll be laughing where the rest should be

(chorus)

Its just the same

Why do you love me from afar?
Everything's up when I am down

Pain In My Eyes

Pain in my eyes
Looks like the new boy again
Its no surprise
It seems that the old one is dead
He was in over his head
That's what his mother once said
She was the one who fed all of his brothers

Pain in my eyes
Looks like the new boy again
I'm weather wise
And I can start over again
Cause I'm not the one who is dead
That's what my mother once said
She was the one who fed all of the others

Pain in my eyes

And I can start over again
Cause I'm not the one who is dead
That's what my mother once said
And that was the new boy again
He was in over his head
That's what his mother once said
She was the one who fed all of his brothers
And all of the others

Downstairs King

Don't let it make you bad
Writing on your face and on your hand
Let it take me down
Take me where your downstairs king was crowned

Its a whitening scene
Draining colour where you once were clean
Adding plastic noise
Silencing your quiet wooden voice

Get your hands on the ground

I got pounds to spare
Can't buy anything anywhere
But its a whitening scene

I got elastic hands
When I clap they're making plastic noise
My feet are rubber bands
When I walk they melt into the sand

Get your hands on the ground
Feel your way around
And the sky can't be found

Get your hands on the ground
Feel your way around
And the sky is falling down

Heavy

Come to the party on the floor
Leave your footsteps at the door
Something's flowing underground
But I can't hear it make a sound

I'm afraid you wouldn't go
Its enough to make me choke
Somehow Iknew this would pass
Crystal ball's made out of glass

Its like the way it used to be
Someone running after me
Knock and you can come inside
There's no need to run and hide

There isn't anyone up here
Look and they will disappear
Take two before you go to bed
And take some more to soothe your head

Lie in your bed be very still
He left it standing on the sill
Its not just anyone you know
Hardly anyone would show

You're the one to make me see
English rain fall down on me
With someone running after me
Its like the way it used to be

Can't help but want to look up stairs
I want to know if you're up there

Goodbye

She shot an arrow with note to my heart
Through the wood but it landed in dark
And it sped as it searched for its mark
But by now we were too far apart

I asked myself for another song
The answer was no, the answer was wrong
Ijust needed someone to ease my mind
But by now I had waited too long

Her violin she hides in her room
At ten she would play in the hall
By now she felt big as the moon
But by then I felt little at all

I asked myself for another song
The answer was no, the answer was wrong
I just needed someone to ease my mind
But by now it had been far too long

Goodbye, goodbye to you devils
Put me up to it
Goodbye, goodbye to you angels
Brought me down again

So you're still rubbing dirt on yourself
Clean it off and clean up your cell
I'll pick up the leaves in your path
Arranging them neat in your hand

I asked myself for another song
The answer was no, the answer was wrong
I just needed someone to help me along
Only now all my troubles have gone

Lyrics from the EP "Downstairs King"

Fade Out

And if I started to talk too much
Turn up the heat
And if my face is turning blue
Remind me to breathe

And if I wanted to speak to you
Take it outside
And if I'm gonna be cut in two
I'll get you the knife

Pleasantly pleasing the asker please
Give me the time
Question the answer that lies on top
When its underneath

Is it the one that you're wanting more
Is it just me
I'm catching the train at half past four
That one's for free

You paid for my coffee
And that was the fee
You spent all your money now
Won't you spend a little time with me
Can I have a glass of water please

And if its all that I've got to say
Tell me its right
And if you're looking the other way
I'm looking to buy

And if I've taken a shine to you
You'll get me to lie
And if i'm starting to tell the truth
Turn out the light
