Track Name: A Man You Trust
There was once a boy and he just wouldn’t fall down,
no matter how hard…
For a football-card, I once saw him open the hands
of three older boys.
Their mothers complained.
The card was destroyed.

He was expelled. He was detained.
All on his own he became a man you trust.
Track Name: Help The Bombardier
Oh, my lady’s got me. My lady’s got me so.
My lady’s got me. My lady’s got me licked
and labeled strictly, and strictly labeled Sold.
My lady’s got me, like rabbit-proof.

My devil water, my devil water holds
my lady vengeance, like rabbit-proof.

All got me thinking of, all got me drinking to
rabbit-proof ladies.
Fences around you. Trenches and stale-mate.
Oh, ladies...

Oh, it’s got me thinking, my drinking’s got me stuck
‘hind rabbit fences. And lady-proof
doors and deadly hatred, and tumbling tumbleweeds,
forever tumbling, ‘gainst rabbit-proof.

Love, lady, vengeance, fences and trenches.
Bombardier, help him.
Out of the coldness, black clouds and flackness.
Oh, ladies…
Track Name: Jessica's Song
Bloodshot eyes, chasing flies,
pain in the backside, trained about as well as
we could but she used to snap
at poor little kids and choke on her chain.
Bloody pain in our necks,
with clay in her fur and piss on the rug.
Bloody bored all day long,
with nothing to do but moan.
Big brown beautiful eyes that burn as she bites through fingertips.

Bone by bone, tooth by claw,
she placed a poor paw, one, two, three, four,
into the dirt she had dug
holes in before, waging a war,
on the earth she had soiled.
Her little mark and tedious bark
used to stain two square miles. Every child would know:
“Only fools go her way, fools and the brave”.
Track Name: The Day We Slew The Hill
On the slow decline,
where the rabbits would mine below
the headland and the snow would drift six feet high,
we would sleigh those slopes,
in our waterproof gloves and coats,
rowing boats on a tidal wave, we became.

Bye-bye, mainframe. Hello, gameplay.
My name’s Boyhood, now which toy would you
like to be today?
I say, what fun!

Where the barbed wire fence
used to be was a density.
Perfectly formed, it could have been made for me.

As we whipped above,
beneath us were the honey bees,
scattered over the frozen scree in the sun.

Bye-bye, mainframe. Hello, gameplay.
My name’s Boyhood, now which toy would you
kill for in the rush?
It makes me blush just to think
of how we crushed every inch
of snow that day.
Track Name: Red Roses
I’ll be whatever you want me to be.
I’m the charity case. Yours or my place?
Doors or windows? Here goes! It’s a mystery to me now. You are the only thing I see.

Razor hidden under your tongue, it cuts right through me.
Bulldoze everything when you’re done, it goes with you.

Whistle down the wind to me tonight on the breeze.
My knees shudder. Should I cover your mouth? Smother your lips? Mother told me "never trust a red rose"
You are redder than a blood clot.

Razor hidden under your tongue, it cuts right through me.
Bulldoze everything when you’re gone, it goes with you.
Razor hidden under your tongue, you look right through me.
Lover, tell me what I’ve done wrong. My shame smothers me.
Track Name: Old Habits Die Hard
I tell you I love you but I don’t know why.
Old habits die hard.
Concrete echoes blow holes in the school yard
where you pull my trousers down.

"Please don’t leave me this way",
I plead, but all the children say:
"Look at him, he’s funny to see,
With his knees and balls and shame".

You tell me you love me but I don’t know why.
Old habits die hard.
My patheticness has had an adverse affect.
You’ve erected a new flag.

"Don’t leave me this way",
I plead, but pleading isn’t sexy.
So we go our separate ways.
You go east, alone, and I stay home.
Track Name: The Drive
She sits, her legs crossed. Thoughts lost, she chews on
her tongue. I interrupt her. She tells me “Don’t interrupt me”.
I carry on as if I was a child, just a noise in the distance.

We rented ourselves a car and drove right
over the mountain, where lime meets granite stone.
We were alone,
I could see the hazed ocean,
I felt sick with perspective,
and she drove the whole way home.
Track Name: Black Seas & Belly Aches
We don’t want to feel safe,
wired, we look tired but feel awake,
falling in black taxis and hollow shakes,
swallowed in by black seas and belly aches.
Will you be going to Alton Towers?
I found two-for-one vouchers in the showers.
We should keep on going and going and
we should keep on going and going and

are you feeling alright now? I knew you would be.
Are you feeling alright now?
Are you feeling alright now? I knew you would be.
I knew. What was the question?

Look at those bloated ocean-corpse lips,
pulled by the forceps,
open your blue smile,
lull upon the white tile floor,
you’ve been here before on a Tuesday,
that’s right, two-for-ones on a Tuesday,
don’t look at yourself, just go back to the
black ballroom and feel really healthy.

Are you feeling alright now? I knew you would be.
Are you feeling alright now?
Are you feeling alright now? I knew you would be.
I knew. What was the question?
(repeat and harmonise)
Track Name: End of an English Summer
When the summer rains shed their fruit and the riverbanks loot, the whole town sees its reflection and it feels humbled.

All the used pure white wedding dressing get swung
up into every loft, every school day hung,
to the young, all is silver,
to the old, grey.
Track Name: Honeymoon Blues
This has all been so lovely, but now I’d like to go home.
Not because my heart’s there, just to be alone.
Everything is paid for and the view is perfect,
I Love You is skipping on the needle.

I despise this placid ocean beneath our balcony of love.
With a push and a shove you could be floating...
Come on, let’s go buy us some postcards.
Sunglasses on a phallus.
This is it. It’s forever.
