England's Dying 03:28
lyrics
buy track
That old fella in the east London market He's lived here for years and years And now so many are here That woman in the pub Can't get her pie and mash And now the times have changed Can you see can you see in the future? Can you hold hands with my imaginary daughter? Will you tell her everything will be ok? Because it's f**ked up so much, I can't sleep at night Do you see do you feel the clean water? Cleansing Cockney gin bricks and mortar I'm hallucinating a vision of orphans Can you feed them in foodbanks overflowing An incompatible friend An incompetent solicitor I've taken too many pills The lullabies are here So sleep well my darling in London's twisted streets Do you bleed do you bleed if a pinprick? Will it hurt if I dug my f**king nails in? Is it red blood that spills on the pavement? Or am I imagining teenagers dying? It is me or is the government lying? Do you see what I saw or is England's Dying? I swear I didn't scroll past your feed Easy to ignore young hearts that bleed

Ghosts 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I hear the whispers in my head Speaking things I've never heard When will they every stop? Will they ever stop? Again Because it's so quiet in this room Tell me lies about myself I can't make up The ghosts are here translucent shapes in the dark Tell me why they don't cry for me as I do for them? Time will prepare the best of us Maybe we'll be so obsolete Perhaps we'll catch a train to another land again Face to face with our damn past Tell me lies about myself I can't make up The ghosts are here translucent shapes in the dark Tell me why they don't cry for me as I do for them? I won't fade out too much now I won't depend On your friendship Because I have wings to fly Tell me lies about myself I can't make up The ghosts are here translucent shapes in the dark Tell me why they don't cry for me as I do for them?

Father 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Father we couldn't see Being stripped of our dignity You were homeless once When you had left mom It's not about the past Nothing we had did last Now I write poetry And mourn death around me I try to walk the streets Constantly hoping But my head is bowed To the darkened river I wish I could forget about it all But the stain of the past remains Father we couldn't breathe That last text you sent me Said you were coming home But then you didn't come Father I wish I'd seen your face Before you passed I hope the memories sit in ocean garlands of flowers Father we couldn't breathe That last text you sent me Said you were coming home But then you didn't come Father I wish I'd seen your face Before you passed I hope the memories sit in ocean garlands of flowers

Borderline (2020 Remastered) 03:25
lyrics
buy track
What must I do to win the fair alliance with you? Why don't you shred my soul, cos our love is so weak and old? Who are the lost ones walking with me Who are the wounded all I can see Oh borderline in the sea Oh cross the line with me Oh borderline I caught a thought for you it was melting iron black and blue You threw the stone so far It was melting in the river fog Who are the lost ones walking with me? Who are the wounded all I can see? Oh borderline in the sea Oh cross the line here with me Oh borderline The silhouette has faded There's nothing to see The boats have gone abated There's nothing to see but fear and coast The shore's only filled with lonely ghosts

Patriot Song 03:38
lyrics
buy track
The Thames does flow inside my soul I'll fill it up with rusted gold A patriot cry, a wizened wire I won't be slipped back into lies A wounded tree, an empty field, a meandering river and a seal A spike they pinned inside a weir, a turtle it swam out from under here Love is old this creature's cold What we must do is break the mold A faded cry, a distant sigh, I wrote a poem back in time I feel the streets, they talk to me Loaded up, I don't feel my feet The stems they grow, the river flows Destiny changes all we know Our memories fade, they dance away, into a celluloid decay How far we came, I dived to our shame A brilliant mind, a wasted decline And love may be open, your flag may be broken Exposed all your feelings, my heart off the ceiling And the soul may order And the mind's disorder The hollowest feeling This city is gleaming

Holy Holy Night 03:35
lyrics
buy track
When the silence is sombre, I wake up in my sleep And the glass is empty, my ceiling has a leak You may say you may do, you may feel my song Cos I wake at 4 am to feed your soul I may fall Fire burns through my heart, through my body and soul Causing me to erupt my fiery goals And I burn It's a lonely lonely night when the moon is out of sight The stars are dripping like it's a holy holy night Talk to me girl cos I've fallen for your style Love it burns so deep it makes us turn And I wake from my slumber People on the streets And a youthful wonder Love is all we need It's a lonely lonely night when the moon is out of sight The stars are dripping like it's a holy holy night Talk to me girl cos I've fallen for your style Love it burns so deep it makes us turn

Teardrop 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Do you see what I see n the dark? Do you see how I feel in the stark? Street lights are empty like my heart Street are empty in the dark When the teardrops keep falling When love is at ease And the music keeps calling What about me? And the raindrops keep falling Into your hands And the ice is alarming, free from the lands I see you at home watching TV In the side of a light that's shining as bright as can be All those shadows in the dark All that waiting in the stark All those years I've waited for you All those times we've been apart When the teardrops keep falling When love is at ease And the music keeps calling What about me? And the raindrops keep falling Into your hands And the ice is alarming, free from the lands

New Dawn 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I’m travelling to a new town Wanting to leave my mind but failing all the time I’m stuck here staring at the train tracks I want to filter my liquid-coloured dreams I want to know when life will change So I can reach out for a new day Tired of manifesting Tired of love I have a hole in my heart oh my God I was always fighting with my thoughts Trying to find peace amid the wars I was overthinking life I was overcome with strife So I watch the clouds go by Now the winter’s gone Summer’s nearby And I think of events in the past They reverberate and torture us last I want to know when life will change So I can reach out for a new day Tired of manifesting Tired of love I have a hole in my heart oh my God I was always fighting with my thoughts Trying to find peace amid the wars I was overthinking life I was overcome with strife I was overthinking life I was overcome with strife I want to know when life will change So I can reach out for a new day Tired of manifesting Tired of love I have a hole in my heart oh my God I was always fighting with my thoughts Trying to find peace amid the wars I was a fever I was a sword I was a loner and a lord I was overthinking life I was overcome with strife

Low Light 03:19
lyrics
buy track
An emotion a fever I see her in dreams that elapse A friendship Ooh has crumbled Ooh we've stumbled As we break into dust A fear I don't wanna see A light I don't want feel A low light I don't wanna see a change I don't wanna make tonight A sunlight a low light The sky's bright I slept through the night I drank the cup of poison Tears in oceans Drawing blood from my heart A fear I don't wanna see A light I don't wanna feel A low light I don't wanna change A fight I don't wanna have tonight
