Get Connected 03:28
lyrics
buy track
All discoveries will be made with enough time And all we believe can be seen from the outside And all we love in music is a formula subverted But I've been thinking too much, it's time to go outside I just wanna go click-hum Here we are now All together Try to find how To get connected Oh, we find ourselves ever alone, ever alone And trust between two people must be grown, must be grown With all the worries of the world in our hands Sometimes we don't need to, we don't need to understand We only need to go click-hum Here we are now All connected Find a way how To get together

She's Just Too Much 03:47
lyrics

She washes away All of the pressure of the day She makes me forget all the things I thought I’d come to hate She polishes white my bloodshot eyes She makes me speak without compromise She switches my head from day to night -- Dressed in many colours and designer labels Have me on the couch or you can have me on the table Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Keep me in the cellar I'm a hundred years old Take me to a party I'm all bubbly and cold Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want -- She's just too much Together we aren't afraid of anything Together we can beat about anything Together we find the truth about everything And sometimes she sees me first thing in the morning She lets me ask for what I really want, She opens the door so I can see What I couldn't see before She can make me feel so warm, Inhibitions gone, she takes me through to the dawn, She says come on let's have fun, let's have fun But she's just too much --- You can have me with a wizard you can have me in a tower You can have me in a field surrounded by flowers Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Tell me what you want, me what you want You can have me in pink, blue green or brown You can have me on your own last thing in a dressing gown Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want You can have me in a bottle you can have me in a skull You can have me in a sword, you can have me in a gun Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Dressed in many colours and designer labels Have me on the couch or you can have me on the table Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Keep me in the cellar I'm a hundred years old Take me to a party I'm all bubbly and cold Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want Tell me what you want, tell me tell me what you want -- She's just too muc

Computer Screen 03:08
lyrics

I find myself all day stuck at a computer screen It always makes me feel like I am living in a dream A world inside the world, a manufactured fantasy I wish I could escape it, but I can't seem to get free So many places now that I don't ever need to go Now everything I think I need I can find here at home No reason to go out I'll spend all of my time alone A mouse a keyboard, and a laptop and a telephone Fuck the computer screen I go out to a venue gotta go and get some air To get away from all the pixels and electric glare Is inspiration on the stage and is there any flair No all there is someone standing with a laptop there I don't know what you're doing with it, it's a mystery Behind the shining barrier where only you can see You're standing up there staring mesmerised by LCD I'm standing down here thinking this is not what it could be Fuck the computer screen

You Can Do Without 03:58
lyrics

You need this TV in a new ridiculous size You need this new car, what else are you supposed to drive? You need this coffee to face the day you need to come alive You need a drink now there's nothing wrong with a nice glass of wine "Wine?" You can do without You need these tablets with little red ones in the top You need this paper with extra layers so your fingers will stop You need this cigarette, you've got a busy, busy day You need this donut, just one or two, one or two is okay "Would you like a jammy donut??" You can do without You need these kids toys to show ‘em they're important to you You need this time away, by the sea your life could improve It's only human to want to better for yourself But time has proven that nothing good ever comes off the shelf "Would you like something off this shelf?" You can do without

22nd Floor 04:08
lyrics

Everybody thinks success is Climbing up the ladder 'til you Break out through the atmosphere Pursuing riches And believe when there's enough that you can Stop and then get out of here If life's a building To be risen up inside with every Level progress in your life I took a lift up and Pressed the panic button just in time Heaven is on the twenty second floor Not twenty three or twenty four I've been in places Where the money piled against the walls And life went on as usual So many faces Struggling to find the meaning in the Way they had to spend their days and nights I put the brakes on When I saw a man like me become the Disconnected billionaire I took a step back And found a better way to live my life Heaven is on the twenty second floor Not twenty three or twenty four

There's fire, fire, fire There's fire fire on the floor Fire fire on the floor Keep the music on or we'll be bored Keep moving or it'll kill us all Fire fire on the floor There's fire fire on the floor If we stay in here we'll all be warm Keep moving or it'll kill us all

If I Have To 03:57

I'll go out in the pouring rain I'm begging you Please let me explain Please don't make me go away I will stay for days I've got so much to say I wish I could go back and change The mistakes I made The stupid games I played Come on I want you in my life I'll put myself through all the pain and horror I gave If it puts me in my grave I will start again with you Send a letter every day Even if you throw it away I will be better man Until I understand I'll use all of my brain I've got to have you in my life If I have to I will make you cups of tea I will talk less all about me If I have to I will try to keep things clean And tidy If I have to I'll won't look at my phone I'll won't ask to go home If I have to I'll share my... Chocolate triangles And I'll give all I have to save The love we made I couldn't live if you never forgave me I will do my best to reassure you I know I need you to be brave I want to be there every day Every minute I'm away is just excruciating I gotta have you in my life If I have to I will keep the sound down low If I have to I will put away my clothes If I have to I'll come up with better jokes Bit funnier maybe If I have to I'll close the cupboards and drawers If I have to I'll do the washing up more super tidy If I have to I'll give you the remote If I have to I'll sit through one of your shows slightly boring If I have to I will clean the bath If I have to I will water the plants Yeah, no more brown leaves If I have to I will take the bins outside If I have to I'll put things away when they're dry Crockery, Laundry, anything soggy. I gotta have you in my life

Here is how I really want to Feel, full of energy and Real, no procrastination to Steal the hours of my days away I know I should be careful, try to always remain mindful, never slide too deep into a problem delights are tricky to ignore Ooh, there's something new I want now I want chocolate Oooh, so soft and smooth in paper you can't stop me when I'm taking two, I never want to share it rude, you can get some for yourself Ooh the chocolate's what I want now

Party Next Door 03:17
lyrics

If I'm really honest with you I spend a lot of time alone I stay productive in the peace and quiet of my home Today I got up nice and early Inspiration and energy abound I hardly stopped for a moment and after several hours I petered out I think I deserve an early night I fall into bed and turn out the light What... is... going... on... next door... oh god! There's a party next door ' there's party next door Maybe they'll stop in a while ' no there's more I'm banging on the wall Banging on the wall maybe they'll stop at three ' maybe they'll stop at four The music erupts like a volcano Flips me round and ties me up my bedclothes I try to find some shelter in my pillows It came on loud but that was only just the start A sonic boom shatters all my windows Getting louder splintering my bed posts one by one each thing in my kitchen explodes They're not doing it by half! I cross the hall I knock on the door If you can't beat 'em join 'em If you can't beat 'em join 'em There's a party next door, a party next door If you can't beat 'em join em across the hall There's a party next door, a massive party next door and we won't stop stop stop stop at all There's a party next door, a party next door If you can't beat 'em join 'em, there on the dance floor There's a party next door a massive party next door and we won't stop stop stop stop stop at all

She Doesn't Mind 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Don't worry what's deep down inside Don't worry what you left behind A real depth of evil's difficult to find in re-al life, There's more to you than just one side We've all done things that we regret So beg forgiveness and forget Don't find catharsis in the dark Cos I can guarantee If you change the way you see the glass That you won't find much more you need to ask for I find, when she sighs She needs a tickle She's had, a hard time I think it's time to make her wriggle I'd try some insight But it's better, better to get physical I lost my mind some time ago The more that I learn the more I need to know So I try to follow all the whims of my ego If I rewind I'm happy with my tales of woe I find, when she sighs She needs a tickle She's had, a hard time I think it's time to make her wriggle I'd try some insight But it's better, better to get physical
