DISC 1 (THE SAND AT THE CORE OF OUR BONES)


1. STINGIN' BELLE

You say love
I say killing time
What's mine is yours
And yours is mine
You make me lose
I make you cry
I guess that rhymes

You're contained
By flourescent walls
I'm contained
By your control
You're overthrown
But underworn
I told you so

We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day

Grow some balls
And speak your mind
You think you're cool
Like a porcupine
You're more like doves
That are taking flight
The sky is mine

We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day

We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day


2. SOUNDS LIKE BALLOONS

We built that fucker stone by stone
Our fingers bled, our feet were worn
But we stayed strong and carried on

Come on in
Do you want to touch my bulbous head?
With features wrapped and stretched to death
A tiny nose is all that's left

This is not
For your entertainment

The land at the end of our toes
Goes on, and on, and on, and on
The sand at the core of our bones
It blows on, and on, and on, and on

The land at the end of our toes
Goes on, and on, and on, and on
The sand at the core of our bones
Continues on

The basement's gone
It seems they've dug up all our land
The world was lowered man by man
Let's move the sky and not join hands

Ancient Rome
We built that fucker stone by stone
Our fingers bled, our feet were worn
But we stayed strong and carried on
This is not
For your entertainment

The land at the end of our toes
Goes on, and on, and on, and on
The sand at the core of our bones
It blows on, and on, and on, and on

The land at the end of our toes
Goes on, and on, and on, and on
The sand at the core of our bones
Continues on

Life still sounds like balloons
You chew and you chew and chew
Your teeth crumble to the floor
It's where they lay, it's where they lay

The past never really dies
I don't think we even try
There's no difference from
Where we wake or where we die

Balloons
Balloons
Balloons
Balloons

The land at the end of our toes
Goes on, and on, and on, and on
The sand at the core of our bones
It blows on, and on, and on, and on

The land at the end of our toes
Goes on, and on, and on, and on
The sand at the core of our bones
Continues on


3. BIBLICAL

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?

Play another song here, then you can leave
With your delicate wings, I used to weave
Maybe there's an undertow here
Or maybe this is stuck up in the air
I know how it looks but all that glitters ain't gold

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you
Of what's understandable
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left
Or the right but not central 'cause

You gave me magical
I gave you wonderful
Let's make this biblical
And hang from our invisible cords

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?

It could have been a wonderful year
Instead we might not make it to the end
Everybody cares, but nobody knows

You gave me magical, I gave you wonderful
Cut that invisible cord or I'll starve you
Of what's understandable
Let's make immeasurable moves to the left
Or the right but not central 'cause

You gave me magical
I gave you wonderful
Let's make this biblical
And hang from our invisible cords

Baby how can you walk away?

Baby if you could would you go back to the start?
Take any fresh steps or watch it all fall apart again?


4. THE JOKE'S ON US

What's that sound? It's the sound of the truth in us
Reaching highs that we won't in the future
You can't say I didn't warn ya
It makes me wanna scream
Let's create our own fire
Rainbows in the shape of a girl

Take whatever you want from us
What are you staring at?
Is it our souls?

We embrace all the violence
With a small dose of happiness
Is it us?

Are we alive because God saved us
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Are we alive because God tricked us
And this is all just a joke on us?

Stab my heart it won't stop beating on
Cage my mind it won't stop tripping in
You can't say I didn't warn ya
It makes me wanna cream
Let's move to California
Find ourselves a whole new world

We embrace all the violence
With a small dose of happiness
Is it us?

Are we alive because God saved us
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Are we alive because God tricked us
And this is all just a joke on us?

I want to take it back, I want to take it back
I want to live in the dark, I want to live in the dark
I'm in love with somebody else
I'm in love with somebody else
I'm in love with somebody else
I'm in love with somebody else

Are we alive because God saved us
Or is life just a juggernaut?
Are we alive because God tricked us
And this is all just a joke on us?


5. BLACK CHANDELIER

Drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip

I shouldn’t laugh, but I know I’m a failure in your eyes
I know its daft, but I guess I know it deep inside
It feels like we’re ready to crack these days, you and I
When it’s just the two of us, only the two of us, I could Die

You left my heart like an abandoned car
Old and worn and no use at all
But I used to be free
We’re gonna separate ourselves tonight
We’re always running scared but holding knives
But there’s a black chandelier
It’s casting shadows and lies

Drip, drip, drip

I’ll sit in silence for the rest of my life if you’d like
Dressing our wounds with industrial gloves made of wire
Feel it penetrating the skin, we begin to relax
When it’s just the two of us, and a cute little cup of Cyanide

You left my heart like an abandoned car
Old and worn and no use at all
But I used to be free

We’re gonna separate ourselves tonight
We’re always running scared but holding knives
But there’s a black chandelier
It’s casting shadows and lies
We’re gonna separate ourselves tonight
We’re always running scared but holding knives
But there’s a black chandelier

You left my heart like an abandoned car
Old and worn and no use at all
But I used to be free

We’re gonna separate ourselves tonight
We’re always running scared but holding knives
But there’s a black chandelier
It’s casting shadows and lies
We’re gonna separate ourselves tonight
We’re always running scared but holding knives
But there’s a black chandelier
It’s casting shadows and lies


6. A GIRL AND HIS CAT

I never have fun but I wouldn't say no
I guess that's my prerogative
I'll never give up and I'll never look down
That would be the end of it

Look at me now screaming up and down
With huge degrees of lethargy
Some may say that I'm lying down
That don't mean a fuck to me

I should remove you all, nothing ventured, nothing maimed
Hang on your suffering wall to decompose and rearrange
Sit tight with your lonely rose, beauty is the death of pain
Don't see it coming at all, so we control and we contain

This is what you wanted to be
This is what you wanted

This is your house, this is not your home
I don't know if we're ever gonna belong
You can build a house but not a home
It will always stand on shaky ground

I wanna play dumb but I can't let go
Of my responsibilities
Why have one? You can take all ten
I bet that's not enough for you

I should remove you all, nothing ventured, nothing maimed
Hang on your suffering wall to decompose and rearrange

This is what you wanted to be
This is what you wanted

This is your house, this is not your home
I don't know if we're ever gonna belong
You can build a house but not a home
It will always stand on shaky ground

We are looking for love
But you're baying for blood

This is what you wanted to be
This is what you wanted


7. OPPOSITE

You are the loneliest person that I've ever known
We are joined at the surface but nowhere else
I look in the glass and stare at your, strained, grey, Motionless face and ask
Underneath, is there a golden soul?

Take care of the ones that you love
Take care of the ones that you love

Baby, I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds?

[Repeat Intro]

Everyone is beginning to breathe as I break down
You are in love with a shadow that won't come back
Sooner or later we all have to wait, try forgetting everything
Underneath, there's a perfect sky

Baby, I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds and feelings? (x4)

[Repeat Intro]


8. THE FOG

Baby come down to the bottom of the stairs
There's a reflection I want you to see
Our history and loneliness has defeated our devices

Lady come down, it's time to stop and stare
There's a successor I want you to meet
His misery and loneliness have exceeded expectations
But still we fall down

Look at the stars, they're getting younger
Look at your pain, you're getting older
Not feeling right but always hoping for more

I'm gonna tumble to the centre of the square
There's a triangle I wanted to see
The fog has cast a shadow homeward
We're losing our direction
So forget the whole thing

Look at the stars, they're getting younger
Look at your pain, you're getting older
Not feeling right but always hoping for more


9. LITTLE HOSPITALS

I'll turn your baby into lemonade
Suckle lemons and trade, trade, trade
Play along in your silver dress
We'll save souls and we'll break bread

All cows shit and angels too
Look around it's the bestest view
Did you think before you spoke aloud?
Your fucking tongue it will do you proud

You seek my cover
Where you go I'll follow on
You never can get enough
We just need to survive
If we're ever gonna dream again

I feel sad as we penetrate
Unbuckle buttons and slave, slave, slave
We attack like civil unrest
No home equals no dread

All cows shit and angels too
Look around it's the bestest view
Did you think before you spoke aloud?
Your fucking tongue it will do you proud

You seek my cover
Where you go I'll follow on
You never can get enough
We just need to survive
If we're ever gonna dream again
Ever gonna dream again

We are individuals in our little rituals
Hospitals, memorials, smaller than disease
Rituals and burials are distant used memories

When you leave
When you leave I doubt I'll remember you


10. THE THAW

Tonight we're gonna share the same space
To see what will become of it
Forgive me if my mouth is dry
I'll blame it on my battle cry

The secrets in the snow
Will always come out in the thaw
All those terrible things,
Can't you entertain us all?

Tonight we're gonna share the same space
Just if you invite me in
Forget it cause you should have tried
How are you unsatisfied?

The secrets in the snow
Will always come out in the thaw
All those terrible things,
Can't you entertain us all?

You could have taken it all
But you should have asked
I would give you my tongue
Or my dying breath
Please believe in me like I believe in you
It's the only thing to see us through

You could have taken it all
But you should have asked
I would give you my tongue
Or my dying breath
Please believe in me like I believe in you
It's the only thing to see us through

The only thing to see us through
The only thing to see us through
The only thing to see us through
The only thing to see us through

Tonight we have all shared the same space
Has anything become of it?


DISC 2 (THE LAND AT THE END OF OUR TOES (LIMITED EDITION))


1. DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Baby when you hold me
I can feel so wrong
You're trying to console me
Your chance has long gone
So baby won't you take my hand?
So we can do what the others can
We are alive tonight, we are alive tonight

I am going home forever and ever more
No I was never born and there's no such thing as home
We used to stand so strong
That's why the others have gone

Different person, different argument
In my shadow, no more compliments
One more person breaking the rules again
I'm still waiting for someone else to join in

Stand where the others stand
We're alive tonight
Land where the others land
We're alive tonight

I am going home forever and ever more
No I was never born and there's no such thing as home
We used to stand so strong
That's why the others have gone

Scintillating and inspirational conversation
Death to everyone
Little purpose, little consequence
Too combative, too cool to realise

Different person, different argument
In my shadow, no more compliments
One more person breaking the rules again
I'm still waiting for someone else to join in

Stand where the others stand
We're alive tonight

I am going home forever and ever more
No I was never born and there's no such thing as home
We used to stand so strong
That's why the others have gone


2. MODERN MAGIC FORMULA

Hey little man
Let me sing my song
Or I'm gonna freak out freak out
Become a dominator
A violator

You can't give it all that it needs
You can't give it all that it needs

You can't give it all that it needs
You can't give it all that it needs

All we need is
Magic formula
A whole new backbone
Is what we're looking for
So you wanted to change the world
But I didn't believe you
That's why we'll say goodbye to good old days son

I'm trying the best I can
But there's a white flag burning in the middle of our hands
I'm tired of being exposed
And I don't know how much more of this I can stand

Hey heaven's whore
Let me sing my song
A cranial freak out freak out
Freak out freak out...

You can't give it all that it needs
You can't give it all that it needs

You can't give it all that it needs
You can't give it all that it needs

All we need is
Magic formula
A whole new backbone
Is what we're looking for
So you wanted to change the world
But I didn't believe you
That's why we'll say goodbye to good old days son

I'm trying the best I can
But there's a white flag burning in the middle of our hands
I'm tired of being exposed
And I don't know how much more of this I can stand

I'm trying the best I can
But there's a white flag burning in the middle of my hand
I'm tired of being exposed
And I don't know how much more of this I can stand


3. SPANISH RADIO

I'm gonna walk to the water's edge
Refuse to be cleansed but struggle in
Your crown don't fit so vacate the throne
And off with your head, I need a shoulder to cry on

I got a heart, I got a reason
To love you all, every single person
It's not at all our conversation,
I'm looking for total dislocation

I always wake to the sound of your voice
And I am floating on an ominous cloud
This dark land looming over the hill
Maintain a holy stance and protect your children

I got a heart, I got a reason
To love you all, every single person
It's not at all our conversation,
I'm looking for total dislocation

I got a tree, it's time to cut it
To it's knees, don't wanna rush it
We got to please, we have to glisten
As I remain in splendid isolation

I got a heart, I got a reason
To love you all, every single person
It's not at all our conversation,
I'm looking for total dislocation

I got a tree, it's time to cut it
To it's knees, don't wanna rush it
We got to please, we have to glisten
As I remain in splendid isolation

Hey, you can be lost at the same time as being found
Hey, you can be lost at the same time as being found

5. POCKET

I got a couple of bags on my back
My hair tied up, I'm starting to crack my head
Against the wall and floor
The blood keeps coming and I just can't take anymore
I just can't take anymore

I'm just waiting for a change in your barriers
'Cause in my heart I hesitate with what I'm thinking of

I've been swimming for a hundred miles
My arms' getting sore but I'm not turning back
'Til I'm faster than a whale or a shark
Trust me now brother, time to win a new shark attack
Win another shark attack

I'm just waiting for a change in your barriers
'Cause in my heart I hesitate with what I'm thinking of

'Cause nobody loves a spaceman
And nobody loves their friends
You look at me like I'm crazy
But you'll get what you deserve
When suddenly the world stops
And you think I'm not around
Look down baby, I'm probably in your pocket now

I'm just waiting for a change in your barriers
'Cause in my heart I hesitate with what I'm thinking of

'Cause nobody loves a spaceman
And nobody loves their friends
You look at me like I'm crazy
But you'll get what you deserve
When suddenly the world stops
And you think I'm not around
Look down baby, I'm probably in your pocket now
I'm probably in your pocket now
I'm probably in your pocket now


6. TRUMPET OR TAP

Time once moved so slowly
It moves much faster now
It moves much faster now
Find a new way to rise
Or we're in trouble now
Or we're in trouble now

Where are you at? Is it trumpet or tap?
Are you glued to a wall by this terrible snap?
You know where the sinners are
Life is much better when you let it all go

If if could I'd start over again
Let's start again with a shrug of our shoulders
Angels always start over again
With a rude little mess
They'll always be bolder

I will sing for three days
To prove what you mean to me
Prove what you mean to me
Lie to my little face
Hard not to turn away
Hard not to turn away

Clowns are madcap,
Whores encourage the clap
Living life on the road,
Got no need for a map
It seems we are bouncing
Cleanliness will kill us all
Dirt is much cleaner

If if could I'd start over again
Let's start again with a shrug of our shoulders
Angels always start over again
With a rude little mess
They'll always be bolder than you and me

Prove what I mean to you
Show what I mean to you
Can't you just say it's true?
Can't you just say it's true?


7. SKYLIGHT

I don't know where we're going from here
But it's time to sing the saddest song
Looking alive with a broken mind,
Why don't you ever take my side

We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made
There's no reason, there's nothing left to take away

I now know where we're going from here
And it's time to sing a happy song
Feeling alive with a throbbing mind,
You're never gonna break my stand

We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made
There's no reason, we can't start at the end

We're users but at least we use each other friend
We'll choose our path and face the consequence

Some say love, I say fight
I hope I'm not wrong
A restless soul, a wicked mind
I'd rather kiss the ground than kiss a starless sky


8. ACCIDENT WITHOUT EMERGENCY

The light leaves me terrified
I hate when the darkness dies
Don't you ever want to be brave?
It seems that we feel the same way

I would never leave you crawling
Even on the bathroom floor
It can be a lonely place,
Have you ever been there before?
No need to run away, no need to run away

Once you feel love, you'll taste the pain
Sent from above, you can't complain

Can I raise my head this morning?
My mind's needing cauterised
I'm in the shallow end drowning, it's a soup of flies
Or am I on a wall? Or am I on a wall?

Girl I should have told you but I've never been brave
Standing side by side, we'll take this whole place

The light leaves me terrified
I hate when the darkness dies
Don't you ever want to be brave?
It seems that we feel the same way

If this is an accident then where's the hurt?
At least someone here should be covered in blood

Tell me how to recognise you
Now that you're compromised
My skin's covered in holes,
Can you please take a look inside?
No need to hesitate, no need to hesitate

Girl I should have told you but I've never been brave
Standing side by side, we'll take this whole place

The light leaves me terrified
I hate when the darkness dies
Don't you ever want to be brave?
It seems that we feel the same way

I'll take a good look at myself
It's you I want and no one else
Don't you ever want to take sides?
I guess that's family suicide

If this is a concert then where's the crowd?
Let's sing it out and sing it proud


9. WOO WOO

I sank down to the gutter and moaned about
All the people that had done me wrong
Pucker up here's a mouth and a half
You can't ignore it in the photograph

I wanna change, I wanna listen
My selfish ways have reached their limit
Are we alive or are we finished?
Let's move along and not diminish

I removed all my fingers and toes
Don't wanna hold anything too close
I slid down all the columns at hand
That's not as glam as you think it sounds

I wanna change, I wanna listen
My selfish ways have reached their limit
Are we alive or are we finished?
Let's move along and not diminish

I will love you for the rest of my life
Can you love me 'til the end of time?

So we can start the journey home
We'll start the journey home

I wanna change, I wanna listen
My selfish ways have reached their limit
Are we alive or are we finished?
Let's move along and not diminish


10. PICTURE A KNIFE FIGHT

I wouldn't listen to her, she'll only break your heart
I'd rather listen to man, woman but not whatever you are
We'll tip it over the edge and watch it disappear
I'll paint a picture of you, well my impression of what is inside

With your stolen eyes
I'm gonna stare at the sun
Until I burn them out
And then I'll picture a knife fight

We're gonna dig up the sky tonight
Bury the sun for the rest of our lives
Lay low and never lie
We're gonna stay here 'til we make it alright

I'm going to grip onto her tiny saxophone
Place an absurd mound of flesh down the tube
And whistle what's inside
I'll tie a ribbon to her because she's all I need
And then I whisper to her, I'd gladly live my whole life on My knees

With your stolen eyes
I'm gonna stare at the sun
Until I burn them out
And then I'll picture a knife fight

We're gonna dig up the sky tonight
Bury the sun for the rest of our lives
Lay low and never lie
We're gonna stay here 'til we make it alright

What's the use if we're struggling on?
We've got to let this go
Before it sinks its claws
Deeper into our souls
We've got to stick together,
We've got to stick together
We've got to stick together
What's the goal if we're struggling on?
We've got to let this go
Before it sinks its claws
Deeper into our souls
We've got to stick together,
We've got to stick together
We've got to stick together
We've got to stick together
We've got to stick together
We've got to stick together
