maybe the formula doesn't work anymore
maybe the key doesn't open the door
maybe the sums are just too hard
maybe i shouldn't use the credit card
maybe you're all I've got
maybe maybe not
maybe the photographs should come down
maybe I'm finally london bound
maybe i have a killer headache today
maybe it will never go away
maybe my insides are shot
maybe maybe not
maybe i should sit back and watch
maybe turn the thermostat up a notch
maybe the fires will burn themselves out
maybe you'll feel what i once felt
maybe I've lost the plot
maybe maybe not

Weekend In Torquay

i got away for a while
because the traffic meant i couldnt sleep
and i know what they mean
when they say still waters run deep
and there's a steady stream of white noise
when i empty my pram of toys
i got away for a while
because the traffic meant i couldnt sleep
i took the credit cards for a spin
and felt sort of free
nothing like a little
retail therapy
on the burning wreck of our relationship
we tried to build it up a little bit
i took the credit cards for a spin
and felt sort of free
I set my feet
in the icy cold black sea
I planted dreams in the ground
as the stars sprung up over me
the way I feel about you has changed
we can never be the same again
I set my feet
in the icy cold black sea

walk through the burning darkness
towards the flickering flame
recall the hospital's address
try to forget my real name
my enemies have been good to me
they've been kind and fair and true
but an ememy is still an enemy
as coal is black and sky is blue
avoid the seething snake pit
brace myself against the cold
the alleyways are poorly lit
but i feel like pure refined gold
there's little left for me here
and i've betrayed my old crew
i'm not hanging around for another year
or coal isn't black and sky isn't blue
i keep strictly to the shadows
every single place i go
the streets are so narrow
and the streetlights give off a faint glow
when i dream i dream of open roads
and i sometimes dream of you
and around me the city walls erode
and coal is black and sky is blue

tell me about the sun
I don't know what it is
sun shines on the cave
I will always remember this
tell me about the stars
I don't what they are
stars shine on the windshield
so I get out of the car
tell me about the trees
I don't what they do
they stand in groups of twelve
so I can't see through

small horses
always get in the way
small horses
eat hay all day
and i want to shine so bright
that no one can sleep tonight
small horses
always get in the way
old houses
sitting on the hill
old houses
so much time to kill
and i want to shine so bright
that no one can sleep tonight
old houses
sitting on the hill

brilliant speckled stones shining on the ground
watch the siberian sky light up without a sound
every colour of the rainbow adorns the firmament
and the camera stays on the same shot for fifteen minutes
like the seven hour bela tarr film satantango
then its time to come out to play a double rainbow
then the camera pans down to the land
and the vegetable lamb of tartary brushes against my hand
crystals emeralds pure gold
crystals emeralds pure gold
crystals emeralds pure gold

Dry (Remix)

nobody likes the field outside
because the horses drink the river dry
night comes
sky falls
bread crumbs
spiders crawl
wind blows
rain falls
fear grows
in the swimming pools
