lyrics

Ran away from the light as it would preach
About some lost fleet
The rocks pushed the sea and how do you see
Not carefully, not carefully

Finally the dawn descended on to the banks
And my account wasn’t in stand
Hot potato outstanding they got four
My friend Delaney and two more

I do not know how it got there, I
Willing to pretend it’s always been there
I do not know how it got there, I
Willing to pretend it’s always been there

Especially when the dancers’ danced
Was when the fiction held its hand
But seeing the two’s instead of the four
Made me shiver, scalped turned gold

Elemental physics on one hand
On the other a stick in the fence
Jeez I thought and wasps flew by you
Lucky for me you were my shoe

I do not know how it got there, I
Willing to pretend it’s always been there
I do not know how it got there, I
Willing to pretend it’s always been there

It's taken me a while to listen to the complete album in one sitting, finally manged it today and It is fanastic, a good mix of shorter hook laden songs and longer trippier tracks. Hopefully they can find the finances to come up to Glasgow for a gig. motorpsychonaut
