Fleeting 03:56
In love there are no lessons Greater are the moments Greater are the feelings In those moments fleeting In love there are no questions Better are the answers Brighter is the silence In those answers fleeting In love there are no rejects Safer are the daring Happy are the caring In those chances fleeting In love there are no desperate Only are the lonely Owning all but only In the days left fleeting

We've been misled By the red-handed Something has to change I say, something has to give We've been abused We've been divided Something has to die Yeah, for other things to live So fight the feelings Fight the voice inside your head Telling you; "You'll never win, unless you fight until you're dead!" We'll fight for something More than politics & choice We'll fight for fun, fight for freedom and fight for noise Its war & peace Without the death-count No-one’s getting murdered I say, no-one’s losing sleep It’s getting by Without the experts Making up our minds I say, making up our dreams So fight the feelings Fight the voice inside your head Telling you; "You'll never win, unless you fight until you're dead!" We'll fight for something More than politics & choice We'll fight for fun, fight for freedom and fight for noise Don't let it all bring you down Don't let the walls stand proud You've got to see it, just to survive If you can't dodge a bullet, it will eat you alive Let's talk it out Let's make a difference Without the rhetoric Without getting sick of it Let's make it ours Let's build utopia Somewhere to call home Before the weather kills us off So fight the feelings Fight the voice inside your head Telling you; "You'll never win, unless you fight until you're dead!" We'll fight for something More than politics & choice We'll fight for fun, fight for freedom and fight for noise Fight for fun, fight for freedom and fight for noise Fight for fun, fight for freedom and fight for noise

Precariat 02:45
I've been around a while I'm not a stoned kid But i don't understand And I don't want to I'm a precariat I'm on the outside I'm part of nature but I don't know if I'm disconnected now From the heart of it I am a hummingbird I'm going backwards I am precariat I'm on the outside I'm in a war against Dionysus My Apollo mind is hiding in the corner In the war against expectation I have failed myself I am precariat I'm on the outside I'm on the road again But I'm not leaving I can't escape myself And I can't get even I am a street-rat And I embrace it I am precariat I'm on the outside I'm in a war against Dionysus My Apollo mind is hiding in the corner In the war against expectation I have failed myself, again I'm in a war against Dionysus My Apollo mind is hiding in the corner In the war against expectation I have failed myself And I have found myself I am precariat I'm on the outside

Sunshine 03:20
I just want to say that I love you I don't know who you are Would you mind if I called you my sunshine And drove you around in my car We could go just anywhere Liverpool or Rome, y'know We could build our home Out of bricks that we find on the road We could have the stars As our ceiling & forget the rain We'll move so far south, y'know People here forget our names And oh, yeah we'll get married And in all the best ways we'll live ever-happy So sunshine, are you in If you say no, you know it would be a sin Hey where did you go Hey where did you go Never mind, who's next I just want to say that I love you I don't know who are Would you mind if I call you my sunshine And give you the moon & the stars We could leave the world behind Paint our lives outside the lines We could build our home In a place where we're just left alone We could have the clouds as our bedclothes Bathe in the rain We'll live so in love, y'know Give our children silly names And oh, when we get married We'll have all we need to live forever happy So sunshine, are you in You could say no but I think that my luck is in Hey where did you go Hey where did you go Hey where did she go

My gosh I think you're broke There's words caught in your throat And though I dig them out You stall, you leak, you choke I don't know what to do I can't get into you And no amount of glue Can fix both me and you Well, I don't mind you But I don't like you Half as much as you'd think So I will bring you back To where it was you're from And I will get you fixed With parts not made of shit And I will send you back To where it was you came And I will call them up And point the blame Well I don't hate you But I don't rate you Half as much as you'd think So I will change you Re-arrange you Every last bit Until you're fit With perfect tits And a rock-hard grip

Being Human 03:13
Well I travelled for days, only to find Emily She was there in a funny shop, waiting for someone like me Broke as a beggar man, I offered to buy her a drink She said; "Man, I'm alright, but sit down and help me to think!" Is it wrong that I'd feel alright In the arms of a stranger tonight And in spite of the dying light I'm hoping to realise That nothing really matters, we're all just friends It's hard being human with no-one to hold you at night We talked for ours, sipping our different shades of tea Minds ever close, she never took her off of me We sat there and spoke, choking on dregs going cold Clutching onto memories, sharing our signs of growing old Is it wrong that I'd feel alright In the arms of a stranger tonight And in spite of the dying light I'm hoping to realise It's not wrong that I'd feel alright In the arms of a stranger tonight And in spite of the dying light I'm starting to realise That nothing really matters, we're all just friends It's hard being human with no-one to love you despite Travelled for days, only to find Emily
