Ninety rain-stained records line your hall
And custom locks you've just installed
We worry only 'cause we have the gall
You'll start a fight, you'll make a scene
To defend your right to obscurity
We worry only for these newfound needs
But in the garden you can write
And feels the sweat drip down your spine
Hearing honey bees
There is no spite, there is no shame
But as a knight you've been misnamed
We worry only where our sympathy's aimed
But in the garden you can write
And feel the sweat drip down your spine
Hearing honey bees

City Across The Bay
You turned this Boysâ High boy into a romantic
Under the pine, your eyes are starlit
âCause Iâve been dropping my roots down, theyâre growing deeper every day
You canât stop talking about the city right across the bay
All these disagreements just keep adding up
Now these topics are off the table âcause weâll surely say too much
Seems youâve stopped inviting me out with your friends
And when you do you make cheap jokes at my expense
And I donât need this, you donât need me
I donât need this, you donât need me
You never asked for this commitment and those old ideas fill you with such dread
But you can have it both ways and Iâll be there to put you to bed
âCause Iâve been dropping my roots down, theyâre growing right into the clay
Youâre out walking around the garden ripe with thoughts you canât explain
Again and again telling me that you need your space
But how do I make you want to talk about your day
Tried making a fuss whenever you come home
But more and more you just want to be left alone
And I donât need this, you donât need me
I donât need this, you donât need me
Now everything keeps coming back to our walk that night
And I reckon I couldnât see shit in that starlight
And I donât need this, you donât need me
I donât need this, you donât need me

Dalliance
Arrived on the dot, two quivering quads through your petticoat
Tried and true, melodramatic you know just how to coax
We have the same eyes
Some innocence lost, opportunities cost, what does your family think
Theyâre yet to decide, accept me but deny it, still at the brink
We list the same lies
When it all changed, we just made sense
I smelt your scent, I kissed your face
You made me feel like no-one could stand in my way
Itâs blurred too fast, the interminable past, but Iâm still on your side
Youâd roll your eyes, still roll your râs as a point of pride
We live the same lives
When it all changed, we just made sense
I smelt your scent, I kissed your face
You made me feel like no-one could stand in my way

Creature of Habit
Quiet and tacit, youâre speaking my language
Iâm a creature of habit out of things to do
âCept chase the ripples and echoes, from the places you wonât go
âCause the people you get to know, will get to know you too
And itâs a harsher light, outside of home
Gotta grow right out of all bad habits
And be as white as snow
As snow
You can hold a candle but I didnât want this
Wanna be just like anyone rolling down the river
Iâve called your bluff, Iâve leant on your crutch
But you can only say so much when youâre standing on the edge
Iâve been your best friend, your worst foe
A liferaft and a deathbow, but itâs only light and shadow
Put your tail up in the air
And itâs a harsher light, outside of home
Gotta grow right out of all bad habits
And be as white as snow
As snow
You can hold a candle but I didnât want this
Wanna be just like anyone rolling down the river
Iâm a creature of habit
Take me as I am

Immortalised
Standing on the rocks, just to tempt the sea, you took shots of me
I reached out my hand, far as I could stand it, you turned and said
I live my life through a lens, I live my life through a lens
We can be immortalised. We can be immortalised
When I checked the film, all that I could see, were shots of me
Where did you go? And how was I to know, that you were stuck in there
I live my life through a lens, I live my life through a lens
We can be immortalised. We can be immortalised
We can be immortalised. We can be immortalised
I wonât be your negative again

The Wrong Idea
There are too many holes written into this script
Did I end my hibernation for a winter flit?
There were cracks overhead, there was a howling wind
There was no other life to confide in
Then you pulled away the creepers, you stroked my hair
You nursed a flicker of confidence until it shone red
There are too many holes written into this script
Iâve always lived alone, now can I handle it?
Iâm feeling shaky now, gonna spill my guts
I can be pretty smart for an idiot
Oh, save me the time that I waste to get the wrong idea
Day after day just us in the warmest blue
I never thought of the cave Iâd return to
There were stars exploding outwards, you could smell the rain
Our past weighing heavy, I will bear the strain
Once the magic was gone we had nothing left
Little to share in our safety net
Still day after day just us in the warmest blue
Until I realised the cave was you
Iâm feeling shaky now, gonna spill my guts
I can be pretty smart for an idiot
Oh, save me the time it takes to get the wrong idea
Oh, save me the time that I waste to get the wrong idea
Getting the wrong idea
Getting the wrong idea
Oh, save me
Save me

Modern Boy
Now I have a weakness for younger men
The way I can guide them to their rightful pens
You were dressed like a detective but swallowed my lines
I picked up your licence and saw a 90âs child
Watching black and white movies, youâre pulling my greys
Trying to assure me youâre mature for your age
Now I know you well enough, you donât need to lie
Tell me again, who pays your rent each fortnight?
âCause youâre a modern boy, you only think of yourself
Scared by the first sign of trouble, when I was expecting help
Roasted myself on the fire, Iâve sat in limbo
Today Iâm covered in blankets of snow
Not that youâd notice, we havenât spoken in days
There are no directions through this maze
Iâve suffered your arrogance, Iâve settled your bets
Now I know your weakness, let the games commence
I wanna meet you in the middle, wipe the smirk from your face
I need someone whoâs my own age
âCause youâre a modern boy, you only think of yourself
Scared by the first sign of trouble, when I was expecting help
Youâre so sophisticated, totally of the times
And Iâm trying to forgive you when you can do no right
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade
And Iâve cut these hands trying to get my own way
Now Iâm hiding in my heartache
And I want a clean slate
âCause youâre a modern boy, you only think of yourself
Scared by the first sign of trouble, when I was expecting help
Youâre so sophisticated, totally of the times
And Iâm trying to forgive you when you can do no right
When you can do no right at all

Get Cold Easily
You search each room, and flick the lights as you go
Youâve been on edge now thereâs nobody home
Pull the bread from the oven, let the smell fill the room
Now youâre walking weightless in your own vacuum
You clean your teeth and that tongue like you heard
You pluck each eyebrow though the pain makes it worse
Take off your dress and throw it to the ground
Look in the mirror and wonder âwhat the hell do I do now?â
Can see you under the bedding
Sending shivers across your sheets
You were made in fire
You were raised in fire
And get cold easily
Your bedâs so wide
Hear the rain on the roof
Heâs left no trace
And now Iâm ready to bloom
We can escape all those petty mistakes but thereâs plenty still going on
Youâre making it work, getting what you deserve
You donât need to depend on a means to an end
I wanted to say I was wrong
Youâre making it work, getting what you deserve
Youâre making it work, getting what you deserve
Exactly what you deserve

Python
Got all twisted behind a gypsy stall
Now I hear your voice whisper through my walls
Youâre feeling better now, now youâve settled down?
Youâd lead all your friends down to the docks
Take your time and whatever else you want
Youâre feeling better now, now youâve settled down?
Iâll write once more just to name when and where
You are a snake
You are a python but Iâve grown the claws of a bear
Fatal mistake
Canât level, canât wait
I still see you in the corners of my eyes
Still feel your fingers running down my spine
But youâre a world away, no matter what you claim
She took me to her house last night
It felt like an island but I donât mind
Still youâre a world away, no matter what you claim
Iâll write once more just to name when and where
You are a snake
You are a python but Iâve grown the claws of a bear
Fatal mistake
Canât level, canât wait
Feeling better now
Feeling better now
Iâll write once more just to name when and where
You are a snake, after all
You are a python but Iâve grown the claws of a bear
Fatal mistake
Canât level, canât wait
Canât level, canât wait

Any Last Words
If you knew what I meant, I wouldnât have to tell you what I meant
If you knew what I liked, I wouldnât be so disappointed in bed
If you cared for me, I wouldnât have to ignore you in social situations
If you didnât drink so much, I wouldnât have to drug you slowly over time
If you didnât flirt with my friends, I wouldnât have to chain you to that chair in our basement
If you didnât cheat on me, I wouldnât have to bury you in the woods
Any last words before I put you out of your misery?

Never Invited
Thereâs a light under your door
And we can feel the warmth of the roaring fire
All I wanted was a seat at your table
To be treated as an equal, but I donât want to fight
It just hurts when youâre never invited
There are cracks in the framework
And we can smell the food, hear the sparkling wine
All I wanted was a seat at your table
You keep trying to wear me down, you wonât strip me of my pride
It just hurts when youâre never invited
All I wanted was a seat at your table
I never came here to compete with you, we are on the same side
All I wanted was a seat at your table
It just hurts when youâre never invited
