You Got What You Wanted

Shake me down, tear me up
Drop me like an empty cup
Let me go so I know
That I’m just a one time show
Just take what you want
You might hurt me on the way
Take what you want
Anyway
You got what you wanted
So take it you want it
You got what you wanted from me
It’s yours if you want it
You got what you wanted
It’s yours if you want it to be
Let me down, at the top
So I really feel the drop
Let me sink in the drink
Let me lie here in the stink
Just take what you want
You might hurt me on the way
Take what you want
Anyway
You got what you wanted
So take it you want it
You got what you wanted from me
It’s yours if you want it
You got what you wanted
It’s yours if you want it to be

Humming Wires

What’s that sound that you hear?
What’s that droning in your ear?
High overhead
Just a constant buzzing thread
Humming wires
Hypnotise
Everywhere where the wind blows
The wires talk the data flows
Pinging you and me
Swipe the screen to see
In data banks our lives are stored
We live for likes we’re never bored
Watch the feed, read the thread
Fuel the rumours as they spread
Deep underground
Just a constant buzzing sound
Humming wires
Hypnotise
Everywhere where the wind blows
The wires talk the data flows
Pinging you and me
Swipe the screen to see
In data banks our lives are stored
We live for likes we’re never bored

Bittersweet

A happier time
Late nights and wine
Before we grew so old
Before our hearts grew cold
It seems so far away
That warm September day
We found out years ago
That our love will ebb and flow
And of all the girls to meet
Loving you was bittersweet
The price of love is loss
And we all must bear the cost
We will laugh and we will weep
We will dream ourselves to sleep
But we’ve only got today
To try and find the way
We found out years ago
That our love will ebb and flow
And of all the girls to meet
Loving you was bittersweet

What's It To You?
02:56
|

What we say and what we do
Baby do these things make sense to you?
And all the clouds in the way
Are gonna blow them all away?
And it’s so sad to see
But I think that you’ll agree
And it’s so sad to say
But someone’s gonna say it anyway
What’s it to you?
Tell me how we gonna make it through?
Cos all that I know
Is honey I have never felt so low
If you stay, and say I do
Will that help us to renew
And all that we are
Well maybe we can cover up the scars
Well here am I but where are you?
Darling can we see the dark days through?
Cos if you think you can stay
Take my hand and lead the way
Cos it's so sad to see
And I hope that you agree
That we've both lost our way
So tell me what you want to hear me say

Where Will You Go?
03:24
|

|
You’ll know when you see it
You’ll know when you feel it
Something’s making you cry
Something’s gone awry
You feel so sad
All alone
You weep and moan
Where will you go when you leave
Cos you say you don’t know what to believe
What’s left to say anyway?
Well maybe nothing’s going to make you stay
There’s fear in the moment
You feel it and shake
Something doesn’t feel right
Something feels so fake
You feel so mad
Been betrayed
You’re so afraid
Where will you go when you leave
Cos you say you don’t know what to believe
What’s left to say anyway?
Well maybe nothing’s going to make you stay

Nobody
02:50

Hold on, help me
Find continuity
Starting fires
To feed your desires
It’s easy to burn down
The walls around you
You’re nobody
And nothing is certain
You want to be
A meaningful person
Stop now, tell me
What you think is wrong with me
Stoke the clashes
Burn the ashes
You wanted to tear down
The walls holding you

High And Blind
02:48
|

|
So alive you're feeling dead
You're not sure you’ll get out of bed
And will the voices in your head
finally go to sleep?
You try to hide
You're such a bad liar
You try to hide but you're beat
High and blind and feeling so tired
Lost and bound for defeat
Is this the end it's been too slow
You're not sure how it's meant to go
And will those voices that you know
Finally let you sleep?
Hold on now, the waiting is over
Hold on now, can you please
You try to hide
You're such a bad liar
You try to hide but you're beat
High and blind and feeling so tired
Lost and bound for defeat

Kaleidoscope
03:42
|

All the colours
The heartbroken lovers
And all the stories
You yearned to tell me
What they are there is no knowing
Who can tell us what they’re showing
In the kaleidoscope you are to me
See the spectrum
The glowing reflection
Of light and shade
That burn so radiantly
What they are there is no knowing
Who can tell us what they’re showing
In the kaleidoscope you are to me
All these colours
Against one another
They dance together
And flow beautifully
What they are there is no knowing
Who can tell us what they’re showing
In the kaleidoscope you are to me

When we were much younger
Far away from here
All the things we wanted
Seemed to be so near
You took me down to somewhere new
You knew I couldn’t follow you
You took me, you shook me
You showed me who I am
You see what you want to see
You live through a lens with me
All we see in our sweet dreams
The spice of life that’s in our schemes
They’re in the air
In who-knows-where
They’re drifting on the breeze
The things we say the things we do
And all the hopes that just fell through
It’s not what you wanted
But what could we do?
And life will find you
And life can grind you
It’s never enough to face fear
You have to want to be here
