I write myself a letter with a poison pen Punctuate the grammar of a good time spell These hands are made to type with a cutting edge Stick it to myself and accidentally press send Slowly the lonely will learn to dance with your negative slant Ballroom, belly to lap and your negative slant Charge through the store Charge it on the card Charge card is stopped Cut the card in half The amulet that’s around your neck Can’t protect you from yourself Living inside a seashell as the sea claims the air Throw me a rope I will drag you in and snag you there Slowly the lonely will learn to dance with your negative slant Ballroom, belly to lap and your negative slant Charge through the store Charge it on the card Charge card is stopped Cut the card in half No quarters only morsels Morsels taste but no way can support us Buffet posture in the gorges Blowing fake smoke out of our noses Electronic whisper that plumbs the depths Sending down a bucket to poison well Is it time to call the local news crew in Give me a hook I will reel you out then reel you in Slowly the lonely will learn to dance with your negative slant Ballroom, belly to lap and your negative slant Charge through the store Charge it on the card Charge card is stopped Cut the card in half Cut the card in half Cut the card in half

Tourist Doll 03:05
Tourist doll Count on the left hand All the ways to be involved I’m in a suitcase Tourist doll Plastic and polystyrene Longhorn on the wall Eyes to the phonebook Three sheets to the west Pregnant all the same Parlez-vous français? Rising like a wave Rolling all the same I’m not a souvenir to share I’m not a souvenir to share Missed call No change for the toll At the bridge The bottom of the barrel They turned your head Against the mirror instead I'm not awake my tourist doll

He has a suit adorned by the modern bachelor A brand new suit bought on credit from a strip centre He ties up his laces plucks a petal from the nearest vase A brand new liver and some lungs just to test his jaw He’s a sight for sore eyes waiting for the signal to say surprise Thom the John he’s up and he’s on and he’s off on one Introduced in the nude to a part of town The creases and the kinks of a dressing down Covered in gauze and covered in chocolate A big hen pecking round the yard for his just dessert He’s a sight for sore eyes waiting for the signal to say surprise Thom the John he’s up and he’s on and he’s off on one Kick off your shoes Cash your pay cheque Popping bubblewrap Nickel and dime Out patient At the train station Get your ticket to the sea side You’ve fallen on the rocks I think it’s kinda sexy Get off your face You got to get it off your chest Thom the john just a name left in the dark wide of the mark names have been changed the place is the same Exit left at the junction off the motorway He takes a seat in his suite at the motel chain Promises are kept and promises don’t turn out receipts A bra and a paddle at the bottom of the quilted sheets He’s a sight for sore eyes waiting for the signal to say surprise Thom the John he’s up and he’s on and he’s off on one He’s a sight for sore eyes waiting for the signal to say surprise Thom the John he’s up and he’s on and he’s off on one Thom the John he’s up and he’s on and he’s off on one

Pipe dream come true Pipe dream kaleidoscope Pipe dream hold true Can’t see the disturbance Motivation out of whirlpools Elevated arm and a sad tattoo Falling foul of a police dominatrix Stalling under observation Swipe right for things to happen Giving out two magic markers Two bit two byte, side part side swipe Hailing taxis at the stadium We’re hailing taxis amid altercations We’re hailing taxis in all directions Hailing taxis in dicey situations Disadvantage levitation It’s too cherry flavour and not in your nature It’s your soft skin against the nation Organic laughter pure agony Oh my saviour inxxxxxxxxxx St Cecilia no small change to tag you Hailing taxis communicating badly We’re hailing taxis suffering fools gladly Ice cube naked body Giving out your business card with a coffee Swimming pool and a second cup of coffee In and out rub it in lock it up tight We’re hailing taxis in all directions We’re hailing taxis in all directions Hailing taxis cut the cake wrong Hailing taxis at the stadium The rendezvous is giving me deja vu Ferris wheel and the smell of a carnival We got a target interception Real life looks better in slow motion We’re hailing taxis in all directions Hailing taxis and suffering fools gladly

Soft and Low 03:26
Oysters on the half shell Blooded conversation An avalanche of ideas On a express train Holding hands at night Running rings around the circle line I love you soft and low Standing on the sidewalk Traffic light says don’t walk Talon torn road fork Remindxxxx of a trapdoor A simple handheld device No need to tape it to the underside I love you soft and low I love you soft and low I love you soft and low The horizon unfolds Underworld rivers don’t flow And when the anaesthetic learns to shake you off The dam is breached and water rushes in Skating on arrival Am I an animation? The corridors of power Money and persuasion Mosquitoes in a thunderstorm The footsteps carry on I love you soft and low I love you soft and low I love you soft and low
