- My PropellerVer letra 3:28
[X]If you can summon the strength, tow meletra de My Propeller
I can't hold down the urgency
You've got to make your descent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys
Coax me out my low
And have a spin of my propeller
It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrowed the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy
Coax me out my low
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out my low
And have a spin of my propeller
My propeller won't spin
And I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin
And I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin
And I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller - Crying LightningVer letra 3:24
Músicos invitados: John Ashton (Backing Vocals), John Ashton (Keyboards [Keys]), Claudius Mittendorfer (Engineer [Additional])[X]Outside the cafe by the cracker factoryletra de Crying Lightning
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude
As you talked and chewed on the last of your pick and mix
Said: You're mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been called cold before
As you bit into your Strawberry Lace
And then I flip in your attention in the form of a Gobstopper
It's all you had left and it was going to waste
Your past-times consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I loved that little game
You had called
Crying lightning
And how you liked to aggravate
The ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side
But your profile could not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms, you occupied the bench like toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out like you'd never lost a war
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your past-times consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game
You had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate
The icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are
Crying lightning
Your past-times consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game
You had called
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Your past-times consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game
You had called
Crying - Dangerous AnimalsVer letra 3:24
[X]I'm pinned down by the darkletra de Dangerous Animals
Been fighting with my sheets and nearly crying in my sleep
Yes I'm battling that well told gripe
The most frustrating type
You should have racing stripes
The way you keep me in pursuit
You sharpen the heel of your boot
And you press it in my chest
And you make me wheeze
Then to my knees you do promote me
I'm pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-L
She makes my head pirouette
More than I would be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The light it fidgets through, the thoughts will soon revert to you
About as bashful as a tribal dance
The first and final chance
And of course the audience of
Frighteners and fiends
Divided up into two teams
When the acrobat fell off the beam
She broke everyone's heart
I'm pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-L
She makes my head pirouette
More than I would be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The most unsuitable pet
It's been long enough now
So let's make a mess lioness
I'm pinned down by the dark - Secret DoorVer letra 3:41
[X]Fools on parade cavort and carry onletra de Secret Door
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
It's a magnolia celebration
To be attended on a Wednesday night
It's better that than get a reputation
As a miserable little tyke
At least that's the conclusion
She came to in this overture
The secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing
She's just giggling along
Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
And unveiling the unexpected
I who was earlier reluctant was suddenly embarrassed and corrected.
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat?
The secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing
She's just giggling along
And even if they were to find us
I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied
At all the fools on parade
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind
To be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade frolic and fuck about
To make a gaze turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
That holds her absence
But you're daft to think she'd care
Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Conduct a sing-along - Potion ApproachingVer letra 3:32
Músicos invitados: Claudius Mittendorfer (Engineer [Additional])[X]I was biting the time zoneletra de Potion Approaching
And we embellished the banks of our bloodstreams
And threw caution to the colourful
Then we fell asleep in the car
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
And the tide took me to your mouth
And then swept me back down to your palms
It's them that put me inside the reminder that
Yours is the only ocean
That I want to swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I want to hang on
I've got this ego mechanic
She's always trying to give me vitamins
She'd be frightened of your reflection
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week
I'd still spend it chasing after you
She's not shattering my attitudes
No matter how she folds the potion
Yours is the only ocean
That I want to swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I want to hang on
Potion Approaching
Shield your eyes
Potion Approaching
Visualise
Holding a token
Swollen in size
Potion Approaching
Shield your eyes
If we're going to escape though
We really ought to think it through
Would you like me to build you a go kart? - Fire and the ThudVer letra 3:50
Músicos invitados: Alison Mosshart (Vocals [Additional])[X]You showed me my tomorrowletra de Fire and the Thud
Beside a box of matches
A welcomed threatening stir
My hopes of being stolen
Might just ring true
Depends who you prefer
But if it's true you're gonna run away
Tell me where
I'll meet you there
Am I snapping the excitement
If I pack away the laughter
And tell you how it feels?
And does burden come to meet ya
If I've questions of the feature that rolls on your dream reel?
The day after you stole my heart
Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you
And now you're hiding in my soup
And this book reveals your face
And you're splashing in my eyelids
As the concentration continually breaks
I did request the mark you cast
Didn't heal as fast
I hear your voice in silences
Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud?
In the jostling crowd
You're not allowed to tell the truth
And the photobooth's a liar!
There is sharpened explanation
But there's no screaming reason to enquire
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things they'd never see if it smacks them in their temples - CornerstoneVer letra 3:17
Músicos invitados: John Ashton (Keyboards [Keys])[X]I thought I saw you in the Battleshipletra de Cornerstone
But it was only a look-a-like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast when I asked her
If I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
Huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close and she held me very tightly
Until I asked awfully politely
Please, can I call you her name?
I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
Messing with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset
No, you can't call me her name
Tell me where's your hiding place
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself
I saw your sister in the cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said: I'm really not supposed to, but, yes
You can call me anything you want - Dance Little LiarVer letra 4:43
[X]I heard the truth was built to bendletra de Dance Little Liar
A mechanism to suspend the guilt is what you will require
And still you've got to dance little liar
It's just like those fibs to pop and fizz
And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz
And you're bound to trip and she'll detect the fiction on your lips
And dig a contradiction up
And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt
The liar takes a lot less time
I'm sure it's clear and plain to read
Its not an alibi you need just yet
Oh no, it's something for those beads of sweat
Yes that we'll get you back to normal
And after you have dabbed the patch
You'll breath and then proceed to scratch the varnish off that newly
Added calmness so as not to raise any alarms too soon
And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt
The liar takes a lot less time to decide on the saunter
Have you got itchy bones and in all your time alone
Can you hack your mind being riddled with the wrong memories?
And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt in between the dirt - Pretty VisitorsVer letra 3:40
[X]Trudging through the morningletra de Pretty Visitors
And the tramp with the trampoline under his arm
Shifts past your whiskers
So stark is the charm, but the barking alarm
Waits coiled until the corner is turned
And the bicycle wheels all struggle to move 'round
In your muddy mind blatantly caked
And unwilling to wind uncooperative time
So he sit on the springs 'til the muck goes dry
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the
What came first, the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reaps rewards and ill fitting thoughts
And twilight forced you to go on a walk
Your legs start running and your gead gets caught
Cannopy 19 is perfectly placed for the reasonably frightening
Fall from aftertaste, you'll have to slip away
I'm unhappy to say
Behold as the crook in a hammock plays
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
Behold there's a crook in the hammock plays
Cruelly with the base and the scales
And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act
Gagged, bound and crafting a tale
Trailing wrapped in a gasp
Cruelly with the base and the scales
And fucking fiddles with the feet on a balancing act
She was gagged, bound and crafting a tale
Trailing wrapped in a gasp
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall - The Jeweller's Hands 5:42
