Cosmic
03:35
|

|
Are they stars at night?
Or flashing lights?
Or Satellites?
Or Comets, burning up in the earth?
Look in your eyes, in the early light
Too soon for goodbyes, when the night is so young.
I've got some cosmic aspirations, like I've never had before,
sometimes the heart can only speak on the dance-floor.

They say it don't matter what you do,
they say it don't matter where you come from too.
They say it don't matter where you've been
It's all about where you're going.
No matter how hard you try to succeed,
someone will proceed to fuck it up.

The Train

I'm on the train
I'm devotional
I'm on the train waiting to see you
I'm devotional my dear
I can't let go, of you.
I'm on the train
(it's always work with you)
I'm devotional (but you've been gone so long)
I'm on the train to see you.
I can't let go of you.
All tomorrow's yesterdays
are waiting to be told
The future is a past
The dawning of the old

Your Tower Home
05:41
|
|||
|
On the top floor of your tower home the pollution is misty
it looks over the flats with no lights - of un-lived homes in the city
on the top floor of your tower home, the sun looks rusty
I can't join in or afford it - I've been out-priced in this city
50 mins on a subway, then 25 by foot...is my flat, boxworld living
my daily commute
In your world, business transactions and Californian skies.
There's a future of Hockney poolside and Instagram lies
There is a light to be found - in the faults of others, we see it all around
here, in your eyes.

Island
01:56
|
|||
|
No trains will stop at this station, I'm an island with no location.
I'm a ship lost at sea and no one is looking for me.

Seventeen
02:30
|
|||
|
They only want you when you're seventeen,
When you're 21, you're no fun.
They take a Polaroid and let you go
Say they'll let you know, so come on.

Bitches

See the bitches
see the bitches fall
1 2 3 4 see the bitches on the floor
gonna stick a cap in yo' ass whoe.

Well you know the state of the country these days...
When the racist cunts are elected to power
lets not speak no names
litigious shits are on the tip of your tongue
you know who the cunts are
if you're fucking stupid enough to think that kicking everybody out of the fucking country will mean the NHS will be free
we kick all your cunts and sorting out your fucking brain
well you've got another thing fucking coming, we want more immigrants coming over here
we want them all to take your fucking shit council houses from up north
before they take your shit jobs where you're packing
in Salisbury
in Lidl
in Aldi
we want blue passports
and fucking spam every day!
Give'us it in tins, with the fucking key
we remember that!
Spam every day
lets throw the fucking right wing in the bin
right wing in the bin
don't be surprised when we come and stab you in the back you cunts

With A Gun
03:51
|
|||
|
A detroit man, was late at night, gunning down, two gay men and a transgender woman who authorities believe were targeted because of sexual orientation, he shot them dead.
now robinson could face life behind bars without the possibility of parole. because what he did in april 13 2019 oh. he killed them
sexual orientation. he shot them dead and now their dead, forever more
what do you dream of
when your dead
do you see your last moments
replaying in your head
do you dream of life
you once missed
because you never kissed
because some arsehole with a gun
the prejudice, the prejudice

Who Do You Call?
02:54
|
|||
|
your in this sitation
and you know you shouldn't autta
no one gonna save you
just be sent to slaughter
knifing in the back
and front
your just like buckaroo
you know that you cau sed this
and its no w down to you
no drug or pill will turn off
that obsessive sound
that your life is nearly over
and the shit has hit the ground
mental heath be dambed as your burning down your home
the question that we had was
who do you call when yo ur on your own
