Man of Inaction
04:27
|
|||
|
For a man of inaction, he's getting some traction, entirely in control
With a chip on his shoulder, grows as he gets older, sharpest blade to whittle it down
And if the ceiling descended, that wouldn't end it, not a hair out of place
Destroy all his records, drive straight to the airport and start off with a new name
Well he's been saying for years, I might just do it today
All indecision, vanish, out of my way, I might just do it today
When leaves fall they go rotten, December sun is forgotten and plans are stuck on A4
Spark a little momentum, nothing left to prevent him from being almost completely sure
And if the ceiling descended, that wouldn't end it, not a hair out of place
Destroy all his records, drive straight to the airport and start off with a new name
Well he's been saying for years, I might just do it today
All indecision, vanish, out of my way, I might just do it today

Quite Modest Too
03:12
|

You said that what you did was just what anyone else would do but I happen to know that's not exactly true
Without a second thought, hell not even a first, you ran into the flames and said I got you kid
Exceptional, quite modest too
Your name in a frame, a certain level of fame, one photo is fine but not playing those media games
If I ever brought it up, you would just play it down, never got a big head, solid feet on solid ground
Exceptional, quite modest too

We're Turning Now
03:20
|
|||

Simple, do what you always do
Careful, not only up to you
All wound up for nothing
Wound up, it's nothing new
Make sure you craft every little phrase
Don't try to win every single stage
Lose your head you're left with nothing
Cast them out, don't let 'em in again
No way of knowing what it's worth, no way of knowing what it's worth
We're turning now, we're turning now, and all this drama I can do without, we're turning now
Slowly reach another weekend
For two days you can be yourself again
Stop me dead I'm getting cynical, I'm getting faster getting clinical
No way of knowing what it's worth, no way of knowing what it's worth
We're turning now, we're turning now, and all this drama I can do without, we're turning now

Nobody I Know
04:30
|
|||
|
Chain creaks with the weight, it's steel and grey, it spins and swings
They have been removed, taken away, nothing to see
Some kid with a camera standing, you can hear it click
Finding an angle with it
Some kid with a camera standing, a mechanical blink, finding an angle with it
Remain on the surface, don't dip below
Remain on the surface, nobody I know, nobody I know
Mostly, mostly intact, heavy impact, mostly intact
Now it's above the trees, dirt and pine needles fall from the wheels
Some kid with a camera standing, you can hear it click
Finding an angle with it
Some kid with a camera standing, a mechanical blink
Finding an angle with it
Remain on the surface, don't dip below
Remain on the surface, nobody I know, nobody I know
Stay on the surface, don't dip below, just mind my business, nobody I know

Use Your Words
02:35
|
|||
|
Something to say, spit it out, turn it down, no need to shout, if you're gonna chew on my ear could you season it first?
Pigeon flew and left a feather on the glass, say a prayer, fly your flag at half mast, roll it out to the curb, it's rubbish day, use your words
How can you expect to be heard if you don't use your words?
Listen to the chair complain about the floor as I drag it along to somewhere more suitable, a little less comfortable but out of the glare
Under the corner of my rug is where I keep my dust, you won't find a deeper meaning reading leaves in a cup, well I'm a slow learner, well I'm a slow burner, it's tough to use your words
How can you expect to be heard if you don't use your words?

Shut It Down
02:37
|
|||
|
Processed newspaper fills you up, point zero one solution in your cup
Pet lover you will cry, your poodle is a weasel in disguise
Shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down like a factory that no one needs, shut it down
Some vans have curtains and some motorbikes have stereos that play the latest songs
Some people they have faces that make you want to look at something else
Shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down like a hot PC that needs to breathe, shut it down
Shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down like a bank account when you're skipping town, shut it down
Shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down, I shut it down like a zoo with no room to move, shut it down

Leap On
04:17
|
|||
|
In between noisy scenes, we sit still with the hum of machines and ruminate on what comes next
Now the time is right to make a move, we don't hold back when we follow through, leave all that junk, won't need it there
Leap on, we're going round again, leap on, we're going round again because you asked me to
With my supplies and all the stuff you know, we will survive the wind and the snow, why can't we stay and never go?
And in the dead of night, when they come, to chip away at all I've said and done, you quickly have them on the run
Leap on, we're going round again, leap on, we're going round again because you asked me to
