1. If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It4:19
2. Crack the Shutters3:20

   Letra

   You cool your bed-warm hands down On the broken radiator When you lay them freezing on me I mumble can you wake me later But I don't really want you to stop And you know it so it doesn't stop you You run your hands from my neck To my chest Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day And just watch you as the rays Tangle up around your face and body I could sit for hours Finding new ways to be awed each minute 'Cause the daylight seems to want you Just as much as I want you Its been minutes, it's been days It's been all I will remember Happy lost in your hair And the cold side of the pillow Your hills and valleys Are mapped by my intrepid fingers And in a naked slumber I dream all this again Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day And just watch you as the rays Tangle up around your face and body I could sit for hours Finding new ways to be awed each minute 'Cause the daylight seems to want you Just as much as I want you Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day And just watch you as the rays Tangle up around your face and body I could sit for hours Finding new ways to be awed each minute 'Cause the daylight seems to want you Just as much as I want you
3. Take Back the City4:40

   Letra

   Take back the city for yourself tonight Or I’ll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight Whoa God knows you put your life in two a times And it’s both cradled you and crushed But now it’s time to make your own demands Whoa All these years later and it’s killing me Your broken records and words Ten thousand craters where it all should be Whoa No need to put your words into my mouth Don’t need convincing at all I love this place enough to have no doubt Whoa It’s a mess It’s a start It’s a flawed work of art Your city, your call Every crack, every wall Pick a side, pick a fight Get your epitaph right You can sing ‘til you drop Cause the fun just never stops I love this city tonight I love this city always It bears it’s teeth like a light And spits me out after days But we’re all gluttons for it We know what’s wrong and it’s right For every time it’s been hit Take back the city tonight Tell me you never wanted more from this And I will stop talking now One perfect partner, one eternal kiss Whoa Take back the city for yourself tonight Or I’ll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight Whoa It’s a mess It’s a start It’s a flawed work of art Your city, your call Every crack, every wall Pick a side, pick a fight Get your epitaph right You can sing ‘til you drop Cause the fun just never stops I love this city tonight I love this city always It bears it’s teeth like a light And spits me out after days But we’re all gluttons for it We know what’s wrong and it’s right For every time it’s been hit Take back the city tonight I love this city tonight I love this city always It bears it’s teeth like a light And spits me out after days But we’re all gluttons for it We know what’s wrong and it’s right For every time it’s been hit Take back the city tonight I love this city tonight I love this city always I love this city tonight I love this city always
4. Lifeboats4:41

   Letra

   Hold on, hold on, let me get the words out before I burst There's no truth at all, poking at the giant eyes of ancient gods Cool hats have failed, now it's time for me to have my turn Kiss me, kiss me, life is far too short to scream and shout Flashed up in my wildest dreams, like red blood streams, stretch out like vast cracked ice The veins of you, the veins of me, like great forest trees Pushing through and on and in Gliding like a satellite in the broken night And when I wake you're there I'm saved Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky That seems to balance on its own Sing out sing out the silence only eats us from the inside up I meant no harm but I only get to say these words too late Wake up wake up dreaming only leads to more and more nightmares Snap out of it you said it in a way that showed you really cared. Send your lifeboats out for me, Send your lifeboat out [x4]
5. The Golden Floor3:19

   Letra

   Tell me that you want to dance I want to feel your pulse on mine Just treat me like a stolen glance To yourself A dark shape on a golden floor A sleeping planet with a molten core From above we'd cut a slow eight shape And much more I'm a peasant in your princess arms Penniless with only charm As we're leveled by the low, hot lights And disarmed I'm not afraid of anything even time It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine I'm folded in the bread you made You're cold until my body bathes You in the heat I kept aside All these days I'm not afraid of anything even time It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine
6. Please Just Take These Photos from My Hands4:25

   Letra

   The yellowed page of the books and books I'd forgotten that I had These paperbacks they know their age they smell of weight and time that's resting warm The opened box beside the endless box parade that haunts my house Is fit to split with photographs that tell the wanderlust of years smashed on to years When all this actual life played out Where the hell on Earth was I? I rack my brains but it won't come Through water damaged bloodshot eyes The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies All seem to mingle into one I read your name under words in your elegant hand you probably don't mean now I fold the letter and think of a million and one things that I could have done different When all this actual life played out Where the hell on Earth was I? I rack my brains but it won't come Through water damaged bloodshot eyes The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies All seem to mingle into one One gigantic fairy tale Of friends I haven't seen in years Drinking 'til the daylight hurts You seem friendly who are you? That's a lot of wine that we got through We've made playtime look like work Please just take these photos from my hands.
7. Set Down Your Glass3:43

   Letra

   Just close your eyes And count to five Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise Set down your glass I painted this To look like you and me forever as we're now And I'm shaking then I'm still When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills Like to tell you all I want is now You sing and I'm killed I'm just not the same As I was a year ago and each minute since then My jumper tears As we take it off And you say you'll sew me good as new and I know you will And I'm shaken then I'm still When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills Like to tell you all I want is now And I'm shaken then I'm still When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills Like to tell you all I want is now
8. The Planets Bend Between Us4:18

   Letra

   The winters mar the Earth It's floored with frozen glass You slip into my arms And you quickly correct yourself Your freezing speech bubbles Seem to hold your words aloft I want the smoky clouds of laughter To swim about me forever more I will race you to the waterside And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud So they could hear it in America It's all for you The shells crack under our shoes Like punctuation points The planets bend between us A hundred million suns and stars The sea filled in this silence Before you sank those words And now even in the darkness I can see how happy you are I will race you to the waterside And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud So they could hear it in a America It's all for you It's all for you [x5]
9. Engines5:10

   Letra

   Only the faintest only the faintest glance buries you buries me So fire your engine see if I give a damn we'll be dust instantly Caught in a jet stream caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise Use me forever use as rocket fuel I'll be air I'll be fire You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth You say you love me like the endless roar of modern of life You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears You say you love me like the past the now the coming years What will you remember what will you think of me after I say goodbye Returning in bodies, plants and the sand you'll squeeze between shoeless feet I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin I know I love you like the million times I never said I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth I know you love me like the endless roar of modern of life I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears I know you love me like the past the now the coming years
10. Disaster Button3:58

    Letra

    A little after twelve The function suite was full Of people I had never seen before Ripped up ticket stubs Confettied on the floor It dawned on me I'd seen it all before Cool your beans my son You look a fucking mess No ones getting out of here tonight Hit that button there The one that just says wrong We'll lose our minds to all our favourite songs Throw forward to later you look light on your feet When you whirled in the room I was nailed to my seat I'm like a prisoner getting ready to talk I feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place It puts a vault in my step And a grin on my face It can't contain me but you'll need an army To get me back in my box Or snap the branches off me A little after four The function suite is dead And I am just a ripped up ticket stub But heres a helping hand A voice that's far to close And I am up and on my broken limbs Throw forward to later you look light on your feet When you whirled in the room I was nailed to my seat I'm like a prisoner getting ready to talk I feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place It puts a vault in my step And a grin on my face It can't contain me but you'll need an army To get me back in my box Or snap the branches off me And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place It puts a vault in my step And a grin on my face It can't contain me but you'll need an army To get me back in my box Or snap the branches off me
