Did you even read
That book of poetry I lent you
The spines bent
And you're hell bent you didn’t mean to
It’s been a century
Maybe just a week of two
Since you last saw me
Think I’ll hold that against you
Hold me against you
‘Cause time is running out
And sure I’ve had my doubts
I’m so sick of mood swings
And roundabouts
I think I’ll sit and wait
Quietly debate my next move
Don’t believe in fate
What does fate even prove?
I think I need a change
Think I’ll rearrange my room
I’ve held out for days
Think I’ll hold that against you
Hold me against you

Dream Partner

Hey, dream partner
You’re not the one I was going after
But you made me stay
I was never looking
Never looking for you
I had my eyes shut
I was sleeping
But then you fell
Then you fell in
I was never looking
Never looking for you
In the morning when I wake up
I think to myself
Can this be true
But when I am dreaming
I see you there
And there is nothing that I can do
I know you have another
Who loves you so
And you love them too
But when I am dreaming
I see you there
And there is nothing that I can do

Get You

What’s my age again
Is blaring through the speakers
Seems my old school friends
Are all becoming teachers
They could teach me a lesson of two
Still wearing kids clothes at 22
My jumper stills smells like
Last night’s dingy bar
We had to take a cab
But it wasn’t very far
Overthrow cock rock till the end
Idealise your girlfriend
I want you to play hard to get
As in I don’t get you
I just don’t get you
Just don’t get you
I’m switching from beer
To only drinking gin and tonic
I’m sorry I stole your shirt
Then got some toothpaste on it
Really hoping you don’t see
I’m terrified of cavities
I couldn’t take a quest
Back when I was 10
Catch 150 creatures
Then never go home again
God you’ve got to be kidding me
I couldn’t do that at 23
You're just so hard to get
I’m starting to wish we never met
You're just so hard to get
He’s probably not that great I bet
You're just so hard to get
I’m starting to wish we never met
You're just so hard to get
He’s probably not that great in bed

Maths in The Real World
03:33
|

You said you can’t remember
The maths you learnt at school
You said you’d never use it
And that was mostly true
You never do
My hair went curly
'Cause we got caught In the rain
You said you liked it that way
But I don’t feel the same
I never do
Every now and then
It gets brought up again
Every now and then
It gets brought up again
And you’ve been
Keeping it all in
You asked me what’s the square root
Of two hundred and two
I said it’s like my ego
It can’t be reduced
What could I do
What should I do
You count your blessings
'Cause I’m guessing pretty soon
That we can’t stand each other
Or stand in the same room
What could we do
What should we do
I can’t remember how to do this
It’s been so long
Add subtract divide by two
This is way too hard
I can’t remember how to do this
It’s been so long
Add subtract divide by two
This is way too hard
You said you can’t remember
The maths you learnt at school

Samson

Once bitten and twice shy
Cross your heart
And hope to dye
My hair the colour of your eyes
Of your eyes
Highlights and search beams
Soothe your skin with shaving cream
I’ll be the man of your dreams
Of your dreams
Samson don’t you look handsome
With your short back and sides
And fringe like a tidal wave
Cut off your curls
And make you my slave
Under lock and key
Trim your tufts as thick as thieves
You’ll only have eyes for me
Eyes for me
Stolen strength and seven strands
To have you under my command
I hope one day you’ll understand
You’ll understand
Samson don’t you look handsome

It’s hard to talk about it
When you don’t understand it yourself
It’s hard to talk about it
But it’s the only thing that helps
Don’t want to spill my guts to you
I don’t want to
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
How do I break the news to you

Toast For Dinner
02:45
|

|
Toast for dinner again
And I’m trying to tie up loose ends
The curtain falls the smoke clears
And you're pulling coins from behind my ears
If I could split myself in two
I could do all the things I wanna to do
You saw me
You saw me in half
And I just have to laugh
I could never be your boyfriend
I still pretend I still pretend
Take my watch take my time
I can’t master the trick
But I’ll settle for the lie

This One Summer

This one summer
Just like every other one before
You can’t ignore it forever
It’s hard to say
What made you this way
But I’m pretty sure
It happened this one summer
Late evening
Do you feel it too?
Question everything
We thought we knew
Everything has made us what we are

Bad Weather
03:45

Your heart tears in two hearing Your Heart Breaks in your room
It's all you can do, to shake off the gloom
Don't want to get to thirty without learning to drive
Don't want to look back having felt barely alive
Can't shake the, never gonna shake the, can't shake the gloom
Summers in Sliema staring out at the sea,
hoping I've a few more of these in store for me
Hoping you'll understand what this means to me
Learning to trust that this isn't what it seems
Mid-winter bad weather whenever I go home
The last time together, first time alone
We bring our anxieties to the top,
and salve them at the same time
This is a mess and we can't see why
None of this is going to change soon
When we can't shake off the gloom
