Let’s go away on a crappy little boat.We can use my scissors and some string to bind the boards.It will be suicide of coursebut I’ve seen you stay afloat through worsei’ve seen you swim throughworse.You’ve been impeccable todayswallowed all I’ve said ’n liftedleaden skies with your bare hands.So if your reading leaves you on the rocksAnd you detach your retinas i’ll keep themin a box for you.And o god i heard yousaying that you’llnever go to war.You looked so resolutei wanted you likenever before.So let’s build a catapult and aim it at some foreign place.We could go to Monaco it isn’t very far.And I’d be intrigued to see the kind of cars they raceSo all aboard the catapult andi willgo firstjust in case.O god i heard yousaying thatyou were panicking.I said nothing cosi know that you canswim through anything.Oo i’ll meet you down by the watersidei just try to keep my own head dryOo oo i’ll wait for you at the watersidei’ve seen your swan dive. It suits you just fineLet’s go away on a crappy pair of skis.It’s all downhill from hereand i feel lost and unprepared.But if you’re not ill-at-ease then i’m not scared;best ride the avalancheBefore it defrostsAnd o god i heard you saying that you’llnever go to war.And if they call you upBest look for you in the open water.Oo i’ll meet you down by the watersidei just try to keep my own head dryOo oo i’ll wait for you but the tide is risingi’ve seen your swan dive. It suits you just fine.

Ive nothing to complain about..Theres an awful lot of rain about but its not the cold kind.Ive made the most incredible mess of your floorBrought the weather inside on myNewly-ruined new shoes.And I got sixty minutes more light Ive got sixty minutes more.Ive got sixty minutes more light Ive got sixty minutes more.Ive got sixty minutes more light Ive got sixty minutes more.Ive got fifty-nine minutes more light Ive got fifty-nine minutes more.It started with your bottom drawerTheres nothing in there I havent seen before!Theyre tshirts to you but theyre relics to me when youre goneSo I tipped em all out on the floorAnd went looking for MORE.And I got forty-five minutes more light Ive got forty-five minutes more.Ive got forty-five minutes more light Ive got forty-five minutes more.Ive got forty-five minutes more light Ive got forty-five minutes more.Ive got forty-four minutes more light Ive got forty-four minutes more.Your cupboard holds nothing but clothesAnd your books are all barren of giveaway notesAnd I smoked cigarettes that I found in your coat But theres nothing suspicious and equally nothing of mine.Oh never mind.And I got thirty minutes more light Ive got thirty minutes more.Ive got thirty minutes more light Ive got thirty minutes more.Ive got thirty minutes more light Ive got thirty minutes more.Ive got twenty-nine minutes more light Ive got twenty-nine minutes more.Its nought to be upset about...If you dont keep my letters then its not such a surprise.And youll be home a whole hour late sayingHas it gone eight? I sayYes its gone nine. You sayO British Summer Time.And I got fifteen minutes more light Ive got fourteen minutes more.Ive got thirteen minutes more light to tidy this bombsite! OIve got twelve minutes more light Ive got eleven minutes more.Then ten minutes too soon you enter the room with a bottle of wine and sayO British Summer Time.British Summer Time...British Summer Time.

Party Machine Lyrics

Q: Schrödinger’s Sparrow

backseat o i like the backseatso keep on driving away from the sun.taxi o i’ll call you my hired handbut don’t mind the meter till we pull in.and i’m cold as obsidian arrowheads and i’m tired like a hingeand the night’s undeniable nowand there are people out in it in terrible jeopardyor wadded and warm in domestic dreamsand they sleep – and they sleep – as one hand on the wheel you are turning the light on for me.oysters don’t grow on treesit’s a fact that means nothing or next to nothing to me.but down in the cloisters i heard that you’d seensomeone poisoning pigeons with oysters and throwing their bones to the sea.and i feel that i’m being deceived!and i’m laid bare as a nailand i am desperately dragging my heels;but the contract’s a killer it’s making my edges unclearand each time that we swerve – well it’s my nerves under your wheels.so backeat. yeah i like that backseatand you like driving so i guess we’ll be bonnie & clyde for now.o but i panic when i’m left to my own divisingi fear that my mind is unkindand my body is slowing you down.and my heart’s an obsidian elephant andcreaks like a hingeand i am broad as a morning in spring.i was born in an Anderson shelter on thefirst full moonand i am tight as a telephone’s ring.i am BRIGHT like shrödinger’s sparrow and i ampoor as a nailand i’m desperately dragging my heels.and i try –and i try – and i try –but if ever i drivewell you’d better watch out for the wheels.(i am cold as obsidian arrowheads andtired like a hinge and the night’s undeniable nowand there are people out in it in terrible jeopardyor wadded and warm in domestic dreamsand they sleep –and they sleep –and they sleep – as one hand on the wheel you areturning a light on for me.

Q: Obligatory Christmas Story

Silly me forgot my pill againSo easily I would forgetMy head if I knew how.I have to wear my Name around my neckEvacueeEvacueeEvacuee…style.Oh la la lo li ta ohOh la la lo li ta ohPretty please with your head screwed on.You said and I giggled all the way throughAssembly.I like the way youDont talk down to meIm seventeen Im seventeen!(Ill be seventeen…soon.)And its cold And its getting on for Chriiiiiistmas!And we must think about our families And howThey willReceiveThe News.Your mother prays;My mother says she can fix me.Ooh la la lo li ta ohOoh la la lo li ta oh.Little things they easily appease meWhen little shits try to Trouble me and tease me over you.I have to sing myGuts out in the choir!Before Im freeBefore Im free to go.Oh and its coldAnd you will not let me smoke your cigarettesIn case i DIE! and you are questionedOr fired.We try to kissI think a part of me likes this. Ooh la la lo li ta ohOoh la la lo li ta oh.Tried to be cool butI think a part of me loves you.

(Well it's Friday night and I just got paid Nothing on tomorrow, Man, I got it made!) We got an engine but we got no wheels Don't need no petrol for our Gurumobile Å?Cos we ain't going nowhere near the ground. We're on a rocket ship to inner space Out into orbit moving in one place And going faste ...
