1. Lonesome Street4:23

   Letra

   What do you got? Mass produced in somewhere hot You'll have to go on the Underground To get things done here (And then you have to see) If you need a yellow duck - service done This is a place to come to, or, well, it was I know a hot spot Crossing on the guillotine And if you have nobody left to rely on I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift It's got to be that time again And June, June will be over soon again So get yourself up, get past on your way There's nothing to be ashamed of Taking off again The 514 to East Grinstead (You've sent me off to see) We're going up, up, up, up, up Coursing on our greatest night And talking types will let us down, again Talk, talk on your arse all night You wanna be there Step inside the tarmac ride To the land that crime forgot Oh, just don't go there Cracks inside the tarmac ride To the land that crime forgot, oh no And if you have nobody left to rely on I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift Going down to Lonesome Street Going down to Lonesome Street Lonesome Street Going down to Lonesome Street Lonesome Street Going down to Lonesome Street Lonesome Street

   Green, green, the neon green New world towers Carved out of grey white skies Twenty four hours I glide through the glass arcade to Hollywood The cycle path it leaves me dreaming of Love, love, so far away New world towers Logging your name and pray Twenty four hours Green turns to red and blue And time relates To us all again And see the rescue Green, green, the neon green New world towers Plane flying overhead Satellite showers Falls like confetti on the calvalcade The flashboat seas? No longer is Reflecting in you Seven on me Seven on me Seven on a left hand Seven on me Seven on me Love, love, so far away New world towers Carved out of grey white sky Twenty four hours Green turns to red and blue And time relates The flashboat seas? No longer is Reflecting in you Seven on me Seven on me Seven on a left hand Seven on me Seven on me Seven on me Seven on me Seven on the left hand Seven on me

5. Thought I Was a Spaceman6:16

   Letra

   Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dunes In a carpark Cause the desert had encroached upon The places where we live People like me find it To keep the day upset But we never succeeded We never succeeded In fact we failed Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dune In a car park By the empty harbor Where the junkball phantoms flow The fight for happy valley Sadly, the line wrote Thought I found my black box Washed up on the shore All outlying islands What's the land for Thought I thought I'd found it But that was not true at all I'd walked into a bar Raised hell Cut the cast without me Always and always the same But the ghost in writing And let it be you again Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dune In Hyde Park Thought I was a spaceman Digging up my heart In some distant sand dune You again Thought I was a spaceman Digging up my heart In some distant sand dune You again You again You again

I broadcast Closing on another day now All for a high score Something out of nothing I broadcast! I'm running, I'm running, i'm running I broadcast Closing on another day now All for a cold sore Something out of nothing I broadcast Closing on another dat now All for a cold sore Something I know nothing
7. My Terracotta Heart4:05

   Letra

   And the bright breeze we got in summertime Seemed like a breath of fresh air back in the summertime When we were more like brothers, that was years ago So if it doesn't sing like a broken chord I'm running out of heart today I'm running out of open road to you When I know you are emoting and you're dazed Is something broke inside you? 'Cause at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know If I'm losing you again And when we fly tomorrow over the Java sea And my younger match will be there with me 'Cause they remind me of swimming out too far one day When the coral was gone, but I didn't care anyway I was running out of heart that day I was running out of open road to you And I know I was emoted, I was dazed Is something broke inside me? 'Cause at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know If I'm losing you again I’m running out of heartache Just sitting out the constant doubt in my day But I don't know what it is I'm sweating out the toxins Is my terracotta heart breaking? I don't know if I'm losing you If I'm losing you again
8. There Are Too Many of Us4:26

   Letra

   There are too many of us That's plain to see We all believe in praying For our immortality We've posed these questions to our children Across the mountain stream And live in tiny houses Of the same mistakes we've made 'Cause there are too many of us In tiny houses here and there Passing out somewhere But you won't care There are too many of us That's plain to see We all believe in praying For our immortality For a moment I was dislocated My terror on the loop, elsewhere Flashing lights are vacating On the big screens everywhere There are too many of us In tiny houses, here and there All looking through the windows On everything we share We pose these questions to our children Leave the mountain stream And live in tiny houses Of the same mistakes we make There are too many of us Oh, that's plain to see All living in tiny houses About our immortality
9. Ghost Ship4:59

   Letra

   I remember flashbacks lighting up magic whip Eight o'clock, Kowloon emptiness, handle it The wide old sea image I had to view 11 seconds ago I didn't send you, so you will never know I got away for a little while But then it came back much harder Swinging on the cable line to Po Lin Climbing panda, ghostly wine and a battery That light in your eyes, I search for religiously Oh, when it's not there, oh Lord, it's hurting me I got away for a little while But then it came back much harder Till I ever hold you out there again Will you be mine? Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart In Hong Kong It's the last ride boarding here tonight Out in the bay (out in the bay) I'll need a lantern in you to shine out Bright rays Feelin' outta body here, what can I do? It's up to the top everyday to join here with you I had to get away for a little while But then it came back much harder
10. Pyongyang5:38

    Letra

    I look down from my window To the island where I'm held Listen while you're sleeping Darkness is itself Tomorrow I am disappearing Cause the trees are amplified Never ending broadcasts To which I do not despite Kid the mausoleum's fallen And the perfect avenues Will seem empty without you And the pink light that bathes the great leaders is fading By the time your sun is rising there Out here it's turning blue The silver rockets coming And the cherry trees of Pyongyang I'm leaving I feel like I'm floating Persisting autotune but never-ending roll on To the palace of the doom The temperature keeps falling Soon there will be no lights Just a red glow of glass coffins Watched by someone through the night Kid the mausoleum's fallen And the perfect avenues Will seem empty without you And the pink light that bathes the great leaders Is fading By the time your sun is rising there Out here it's turning blue The silver rockets coming And the cherry trees of Pyongyang I'm leaving (Soon there will be no light, someone through the night) Kid the mausoleum's fallen And the perfect avenues Will seem empty without you And the pink light that bathes the great leaders Is fading By the time your sun is rising there Out here it's turning blue The silver rockets coming And the cherry trees of Pyongyang But I'm leaving
11. Ong Ong3:06

    Letra

    (La la la) I got on a boat on a hot sunny day To get out of this town 'Cause the tarmac was melting and the people seemed to sway Stuck in the underground To the isle of the black kites and the wishing tree I wanna be with you On the slow boat to Lantau through misty seas I wanna be with you I pulled out the harbour with precession behind And I'm feeling the love of you So you better get to charge until I see you again You know just what to do If you're caught up in the gales on the junk boat sea I wanna be with you Whit the pilgrims the mountains in the high trapeze I wanna be with you If you're the landlord, the social on P.S.T I wanna be with you On an island of rainclouds and verdant seas I will be there with you Oh (La la la)
12. Mirrorball3:37

    Letra

    Mirrorball on a Jordan train I was under sea then up for air I did not retain Ocean Park, where the seagulls cry I remember flying dragons too I was there with you So before you log out Hold close to me Hold close to me I'll be back, when December comes All the barriers have been pulled down Where is everyone? Oh, mirrorball, you're spinning out to sea Think I found you in the Temple Square Under the wishing tree So cry your eyes out Oh, close to me Hold close to me I cried my eyes out Oh, close to me Hold close to me Hold close to me Hold close to me
