1.One Heavy February
(Instrumental)
2.Souvenirs
With an envelope
We'll enter buildings we might touch
I've got souvenirs but yesterday can't mean too much
Have we missed an opportunity
Have we missed an opportunity
Whispers Chinese leaves a message, leaves a metaphor
For what once was gold and once was rich and now is poor
Have we missed an opportunity
And the trees lean to lend
Can I fold you in fourteen ways to depend not defend
3.Imaginary Ordinary
We're in a restless way when the fireflies come
And they light the light where there once was none
I won't think about next week
I won't think until tomorrow
Just a sight for sore eyes
Disguised as a fly
And not a single soul in these woods
Ever saw a jaw drop so low as is mine at the moment
Not a single soul in these woods
Ever saw a jaw drop so low as is mine at the moment
Imaginary Ordinary
It's you that I belong with
Imaginary Ordinary
It's you that I belong with
Imaginary Ordinary
It's you that I belong with
Imaginary Ordinary
It's you that I belong with
4.Scissor, Paper, Rock
If you're seeking repair
For figure eights in the ice in your stare
Seven stories we're climbing tonight
So if you're angry about the fact that it's red
I'll surrender
I'll change it to white
Sneaking looks at you sleeping around
At you, grass stained and drunk on the ground
So we're taking you down with the scissor, paper, rock again
Scissor, paper, rock again
So we're taking you down with the scissor, paper, rock again
Scissor, paper, rock again
5.To And Fro
To and fro from yours to Cecil Street
You wore the same shirt that you wore last week
Should I shake your hand or kiss your cheek
Convince you it's not lust, it's chemistry
6.Spring 2008
(Instrumental)
7.The Owls Go
Don't hide the treasures you've found in a hole in the ground
How 'bout the tree back your house where the owls go
Or in between the attic and the basement
Somewhere where it's not dark, dark, dark, dark
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated, I'll protect you
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated, I'll protect you
Don't hide the pleasures you've found in your rolling around
Where all the leaves have been swept and the flowers grow
And don't go finding a replacement
I promise I'll show you heart, heart, heart, heart
Finding replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you
Finding replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you
Finding replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you
Finding replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you
And you won't make a sound or be nervous around piles of
pictures
So old that that it feels like it is ending
Four, three, two, one
That's right
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated, I'll protect you
Attic in a basement with a knife serrated, I'll protect you
And you shout out loud
And you're bursting with pride
'Cause they don't let you talk
And your heart is finally mending
It's not too late now to change your mind
The grass gets greener when you get to the finish line
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
An attic in a basement
And you won't make a sound
Or be nervous around
Piles of pictures
So old that it feels
Like it is ending around
It shouldn't feel like it is ending
8.Fumble
Found a flaw in the ending of a book that I've read twice
I set her straight, it's not based on your life
There's tension in this room
We'll have butterflies soon
Fumbling 'round in the dark with a flashlight
No need to be uncalm we'll
Leave it by the phone
A message you can swallow
A letter to sign
No need to be alarmed we'll
Leave this all alone
And all the guilt will follow
You in a line
There's tension in this room
We'll have butterflies soon
Fumbling 'round in the dark with a flashlight
9.Kindling
You won't count to seven
It's usually 'til ten
To hell with Sydney girls
You're much better than them
On my mattress I've been drawing a line
Where I'll shut my eyes and where you should lie
You should lie
If you should lie
I'll be a lighter of fires
You be the fighter of fires
I'll be the lighter of fires
You be the fighter of fires
Should I choose to stay here now all depends
On buildings, buses, streets, trees, rain and friends
On my mattress I've been drawing a line
Where I'll shut my eyes and where you should lie
You should lie
If you should lie
I'll be a lighter of fires
You'll be a fighter of fires
I'll be a lighter of fires
You be a fighter of fires
10.It's Almost A Trap
Steal all the chandeliers down your street
And call it romance
Stop kissing all the neighbours that your brother meets
Don't promise it's chance
And I've been saying later lately
So I'll colour a map
I'll lead you to the mountains we'll meet
It's almost a trap
11.Like A Call
All the cars down the bottom, windmill chasing
Calling police so, so we're placing
Weight on minds
Red sports car Northwest dated, counting the sleeps
I'm counting, waiting
Stalled inside
There's no tires to save our skins
They're bald and old
Their advice won't change our plans
Through an old telescope for close up faces
You're cornering the fire it works in your favor televized
Like the all night long at three A.M.
Feeling you get in your legs when you're dancing on the ceiling
Friends of mine
And you change the beat disguised
Like a call to realize
You just made a pass in that reflection
you're fixing your hair or asking questions
You decide
Turn it around, the place is a fountain youth, you're squealing
Offering advice that sounds appealing
Nervous fun
'Cept the cheating's in your blood
And the hardest word is love
Let's not starve here today, none of that behavior
I'm not revealing, unless your feelings are long term
Eating like a princess, I'm gonna save you
Stay at mine
And we're carving up the courses we're not playing
I'm not revealing, unless your feelings are long term
Don't want to hear the swear words you're spraying undermined
I'm not revealing unless your feelings are long term
I'm not revealing unless your feelings are long term
I'm not revealing unless your feelings are long term
It's like a, it's like a call
It's like a, it's like a call
It's like a, it's like a call
12.Where You've Been Hiding
Stuck at your front gate
Wth some pictures I just want to hand you
Almost made the door knock twice
Broke down on your veranda
Turn the dry concrete
Into wet concrete
I can't find you anywhere
Find you find you find you find you
I can't find you anywhere
Pictures pictures pictures pictures
So I wrote you a letter
In capital letters
Saying all that I care for
All that I care for is
Where you've been hiding
Where you've been hiding
Which way the habits collect
Neatly upon your stairs
Which way we'll be end them both discreetly
Leaving 'em for dead
When I find, when you find, when we find, when I've found
Where you've been hiding
Where you've been hiding
13.City Calm Down
Drinking stolen gin from the rich people's bar next door
And awkwardly
I'm leaning on the shoulder of the cousin who you choose to
ignore
And she says won't you calm down
City city won't you calm down
We're never gonna get to the bottom while there's traffic around
Passed a little lonely cleanse
If we play our cards right we can be more than friends, still
Oh so s-u-d-d-e-nly
So suddenly
Ways of calculating, ways of catapulting you and me
Out of this town
City city won't you calm down
They'll never know we're in here if we don't make a sound
Faster we'll divide all the sense
Into tiny parcels are you hoping it's tense, girl
14.Vanishing
Is this a fling
It's seven days and you're already vanishing
Is this a fling
It's seven days and you're already vanishing...
