Moth on a Window 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Take time to observe the burning deficit. Investigate closely the smouldering hole. Smell the glue and the plywood peeling away in hot smokes. There are insects buzzing about your face, obscuring your view of the event. Try to ignore them, or look at them with kindness, when they're settling softly on your iris Moth on a window Moth on a window Moth on a window I'm a moth on a window I saw it in a dream, so it must be true We're moths on windows me and you Don't listen to me, I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm clambering through the rubble just like you. The universe is buffering, we're waiting for it to load as we cradle the coals of loneliness These white hot kernels of longing will eventually burst open, becoming floral shapes that melt in the mouth. It's not a proverb, it's a guess, it's all bollocks, it's the truth!! Moth on a window Moth on a window Moth on a window I'm a moth on a window I saw it in a dream, so it must be true We're moths on windows me and you The holly and the ivy, when they are both full-grown The holly and the ivy, when they are both full-grown

Put a Penny in Sooty's Head 05:36
lyrics

Put a penny in Sooty's head Embrace the potential of totemic silence Faces are just variations on a theme But I can't stop thinking about the shape of your nose Magic, Magic, Magic Put a penny in Sooty's head Realise the advantages of whispering I know that odours are just liberated particles But I can't stop thinking about the smell of your clothes Magic, Magic, Magic Put a penny in Sooty's head Help me out with your plastic wand Incisors are just tools for chewing But I can't stop thinking about licking your teeth Magic, Magic, Magic It was magic (I'm fine, yeah I'm actually fine, I'm keeping busy, I'm fine)

Entrails Derails Entails Females Garden snails Musical scales Heads or tails Hay bails This bread is stale Curly kale You're wan and pale We're having a whale Epic fail Half price sale Fingernails Yorkshire dales Reading braile Bread crumb trail To no avail Blowing a gale Hail stones hail Limbs flail Half an ale Entrails Entrails

Temporary Blip 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Stumbling between temperatures. It looks tough, but it's just a gravitised dust bubble. Churning out the solid greens, doing a very slow jigsaw backwards. Met wall-to-wall winners, ate my weight in chips. This is just a temporary blip, a temporary blip. Temporary blip I couldn't believe how pleasing the reduction of logs could be! Those lines were so fit! This is just a temporary blip, a temporary blip Temporary blip Satiated by vapours. Cooing over candles. Frosty rocks. It's like my bones are shrinking. Nature is noisy. Endless, fruitful love. Small brushes tickle them all a lip. This is just a temporary blip, a temporary blip Temporary blip Wheyfaced weaklings kicking a tissue. I fought my fate and I lost. The balloons tumble and nozzles spray into it. This is just a temporary blip, a temporary blip Temporary blip Agitators at the bottom of the tank, inflating those medieval playthings. Bodycoats and scantabouts. Stone coats, stone dresses. Like ploughed fields running wrist to hip. This is just a temporary blip, a temporary blip Temporary blip Tendency to slouch. Chimney says "peglars". Don't trust the sensory world. Green lichen, branches, green bricks. This is just a temporary blip, a temporary blip

The earth is a heavy pebble The earth is just a heavy pebble The earth is a heavy pebble The earth is such a heavy pebble Plastic bag Plastic bag The whole wide world in a plastic bag What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? I can't understand what it means
