In My Bones (Again) 04:22
lyrics
buy track
When the clock strikes five Then it’s time to fly Over glacial valleys Where only snowmen can dream All aboard my iceberg I’m leaving England behind All aboard my iceberg I’m setting sail for Mars He’s got stars in his eyes He lives his life in disguise I can feel it in my bones again Rising up from beneath the ground I can feel it in my bones again Once lost but now it’s found I can feel it in my bones again Rising up from beneath the ground I can feel it in my bones again And it doesn’t make a sound It doesn’t make a sound Electric lights in the zenith Pyrotechnic collage The Aurora Australis Where only shadows can dance All aboard my iceberg I’m leaving doubters behind All aboard my iceberg My destination in Mars

British Angel of Icebergs 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Archive the past, it’s consigned to history Embrace the future, your man of mystery Impatient, persistent, perhaps crazy too I’m a man on a mission, that mission is you I am the British angel of icebergs And I’m here to save your blackened soul Let us ride elephants, across fjords tonight Nose to tail, over mountains, by candlelight Your wish my command, with the Queen our slave And under the duvet let us all misbehave

Apart 03:06
lyrics
buy track
You’re a demolition woman And I don’t know whether to be Amused, plain bemused, Or ever so slightly aroused, For in spite of everything That’s come to pass You still get under You still get under my skin Epicentre, Eye of the storm I’ve a lust for life My love, my hate reborn No more hiding Beyond the rift A tectonic fault Let’s tear this world apart. I’m tightrope walking In an astronaut’s suit Across the great divide To the other side, Tempted by the fear in your eyes For in spite of everything That’s come to pass You still get under You still get under my skin

Frostbite 03:15
lyrics
buy track
There's a raven tap tap tapping On the window to my soul What could have been What should have been The happiness I stole I've got frostbite From another fight And still we pretend How will this madness end? When you cry I die Garrotted With my own heartstrings Erase and rewind It's time to come clean unheard unseen Don't pity the fool Who wants to fly Dreams can turn to poison So I sow the seed of doubt Faith in me brings only misery Now they'll sleep I lauch a flying saucer It's too late to change my mind Guns blazing confrunting hunting I don't know why Snowstorm supernova Snowstorm transform The ravens swarm it's goodnight

Die and Let Live 03:49
lyrics
buy track
I’d like to see, Seymour and Moore Two of a kind – I’ve been here before Red mist rising – I chart my course For newfound land, where the sky combusts Our dreams explored, striking a common chord I want her for myself But it’s in God – it’s in God she trusts Our Bond is broken – are you sure? Open invite – closing door Red mist falling – the fabric fools My reality’s rotten, my body armour rusts Our dreams off-shored, screaming “over-board” I want top be myself But it’s in God – it’s in God she trusts We can’t defy Solitaire Deny our fate if you dare It’s time to believe I see your reprieve We can’t defy Solitaire Deny our fate if you dare It’s time to forgive We die and let live The Lovers – The lust The cards – The kiss How much of yourself Can you afford to give?

Stuttgart-Upon-Thames 03:47
lyrics
buy track
We met at the sauerkraut buffet. She overheard as I fed the quote, Then repeatedly she came at me, Her fingers down her throat. In Stuttgart Stuttgart-Upon-Thames Reunited at the strawberry picnic, We ran back to her Park. Our tequila sun was setting – yeah Casting shadows in the dark. And all the doctor’s children – They kept closing in. Like prisoners inside the attic – There’s no way that we could win. She died – it was self-destruction – But the parasite lives on. Into Herne Hell I am falling. Tell me – was it all just a con? I’m clasping fragments tightly I fear I’m going insane. One blink, then no more – But I still crave for the pain.

Saboteur - Him & Her 02:51
lyrics
buy track
She’s no fear of flying, living, dying Saboteurs unite – there’ll be no more lying To her, to me – laughing, weeping Saboteurs unite – whirlwind reaping Alpha, Beta, we’re both dreaming I want doubt and she wants meaning Giving, taking, rising, falling This is our… Alpha, Beta, we’re still healing No direction, we’re free-wheeling Giving, taking, rising, falling This is our calling She’s no time for fighting, faking, crawling Saboteurs unite – and yet she’s stalling So stand well back – setting, dawning Saboteurs unite – beware my warning

Reality 03:36
lyrics
buy track
There's a killer giraffe with bloodstained shoes And a giant squid who always disapproves Of the things I have to say Of the way that I behave Of my fleeting liaisons And the nice boy that I led astray With the promise of Office flings with forbidden fruit Sporting friction burns Always taking turns Orchestral gymnastics in the dark Orchestral – you and me Reality – It’s coming it me They’re all coming for me Beneath the waves, live transmission There’s a voice inside my head There’s a voice inside my water bed The sirens sing, the sirens’ song Oh mermaids – make a meal of me Oh mermaids – come swallow me whole Dance! Boys! Dance! Don’t leave it to chance You cannot wait forever Dance! Girls! Dance! Let your forces advance It’s a matter of shooting glances Dance! Boys! Dance! Don’t leave it to chance You cannot wait forever Dance! Girls! Dance! A modern romance It’s time to start turning pages

Kamikaze 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Reverse the polarity The sanctity of carriage and horse Kicking the heads off frangipannies I'm centrifugal, a repellent force And there's more than than a grain of truth To all the things you say Like the sands of time I'm always running away Where do I go when I don't want to be Out of my mind will I ever be free From the hounds of hate inside of me Your love is true but I'm kamikaze I don't want to be me Reverse the polarity The sanctity of carriage and horse Please don't waste your precious breath Your suffering is my remorse I live only for tomorrow So what's the future for There's no escape from today I'm still all the things that I deplore Punched in the solar plexus I've got nothing more to say On my knees surrendering wondering why Why I've gone astray Mirror mirror is it fait accomplice I don't want to be I don't want to be me And with severence of silver I'm Saturn - without my rings So far away So far away
