Track Name: One Fish Sea
One fish sea
She’s had me long since head over feet
She’s had me beat
She’s in my cornflakes bowl
She’s on my bus ride home
All the days are
Bursting with her face

One fish sea
She’s got me counting sheep after sheep
She’s got me beat
She’s in my chest of drawers
She’s on my eyelid walls
All the night I
Can’t turn off her light

Give me a yay, give me a neigh
Give me a ‘not now but one day’
One little slip, one little sign
One little plain and simple bottom line like
A, b, c, d, e, f, and g
H, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p
I want her will she ever want me ?

One fish sea
She’s got hots
She’s just got no hots for me
But I still dream
I’ve tried to shake this pang
But she’s a boomerang
Fling her free
She knocks me to my knees

I had a damn, she made it burst
There was a flood of crazy words
I laid it bare, I said it all
She told me plain and simple, once and for all
A, b, c, d, e, f, and g
H, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p
I want her but she doesn’t want me

Yes siree
She’s got me on a
One fish sea
She’s got me - beat
Track Name: I Hope It Doesn't Come My Way
I rocked the boat
With a little note
That went into space
Round the rocket ships
And onto her place
And landed on her phone
And I don’t even know
If it was loved or thrown
Or if I’ll die alone

Find me a distant wasteland
Dig me a place to stay
I hope it doesn’t come my way
I hope it doesn’t come my way
Find me a distant wasteland
Dig me a place to stay
I hope it doesn’t come my way
I hope it doesn’t come my way
It probably will some day

I’ve had a bit
Just a little bit
Just enough of it
To land me in the pit
And then to feel the plunge
Into the grime and gunge
When the pitter patter
Becomes a clink and clatter
And then you burst and spatter

Find me a distant wasteland
Dig me a place to stay
I hope it doesn’t come my way
I hope it doesn’t come my way
Find me a distant wasteland
Dig me a place to stay
I hope it doesn’t come my way
I hope it doesn’t come my way
It probably will some day
Track Name: Kids (Original Mix)
Bang, crash, kablam, smash
You’re an evil superhero
Keeping me at zero

Zap, zoom, whack whack, K-boom
You’re a tattooed, Robert de Niro
Keeping me at zero

And if you can’t, don’t, won’t finish me off
I’ll take the knife, you take the kryptonite
If you can’t, don’t, won’t finish me off
Leave here tonight, leave me to feel alright

Oh we were just kids, we were just kids,
Oh we were just kids, we were just kids,
Ohhh, I can’t wait, to get old.

Kids, kids
You did what you did
Cos you didn’t know any better
But you should have known, when to let up

Sticks, stones
You broke every bone
You broke everything else
You broke, yourself
Track Name: On
I don’t know what you know, what you don’t know
I don’t know – I don’t know - I don’t know

I don’t know what I show, what I don’t show
I don’t know – I don’t know - I don’t know

I don’t know what I'd say, if I did say
My old boots - they've got used to feeling me quake
But they wont let me run away

I need black, I need white
I need time on my hands
I need once, I need twice
I need planes I can land
I need safe, I need sound
I need something to show
It goes on, it goes on, and so it goes

I don’t know if I'm close, if I'm not close
I don’t know – I don’t know - I don’t know

I don’t know what is smoke, what is not smoke
I don’t know – I don’t know - I don’t know

I don’t know how it ends, if it does end
Here you go - driving me round the same bend
Then round and round and round again

I need black, I need white
I need time on my hands
I need once, I need twice
I need planes I can land
I need safe, I need sound
I need something to show
It goes on, it goes on, and so it goes

I don’t know all these things
But I still feel like you're the cage - I'm the bird that sings
Take me where you will - undertow
From tonight, I won’t fight, I won’t fight, and so it goes... on

And on and on
And so it goes, on
And on and on
And so it goes .. on
Track Name: Girl On A Bus
Dear sweet Jane, I’m writing to tell you
Feels like an age since last time I beheld you
Only a day away from your perfections
Here am I, transcribing my affections

All those fish, swimming the ocean
Ill never wish for more than this devotion
I’ll never swish my quill with such a yearning
Soon, to you, these arms will be returning

And that was the vow - the vow that I was high on
But it was a cloud- a cloud that I was tumbled from
Cause when I was out about to catch the postman
Lo, behold, a girl on a bus stopped me cold

There she goes - hot as a lightening bolt - hot as a bomb
Heaven knows I wanna chase that bus, I wanna run

Dear sweet Jane I write heavy hearted
Something has changed since last time that we parted
Something has drained and scrambled my conviction
Oh that old Neanderthal affliction

And what of the sparks - those sparks I had to let slide
And what of the knot - this knot I need to get untied
For all of the hotties hotly taking bus rides
Oh, you know, I’m just about to let you go

There she goes - hot as a lightening bolt - hot as a bomb
Heaven knows I wanna chase that bus I wanna run


Oh – I know, I’m just about to let you go
Dear sweet Jane, Dear Sweet Jane, Dear Sweet Jane
Oh – I know, I’m just about to let you go
Dear sweet Jane, Dear Sweet Jane, Dear Sweet Jane
Oh – I know, I’m just about to let you go
Track Name: Glitter (Casio Mix)
Steam roller steamrolling me
I’m flat as a pancake boy can be
I tried to fight but she turned my army
Into soggy pieces of origami

I stuck on those stick on stars
My ceiling is glowing in the dark
And I am hurtling through the headphones
Carving out her name on my teenage tombstone

Lo
Behold
She must be gold
She glitters, she glitters, she glitters so bright
She glitters, she glitters, she glitters all night long

That shine on those shiny lips
I know its aesthetic parlour tricks
But knowing doesn’t stop shots from firing
Doesn’t throw a spanner in my desiring

Why can’t I just tip my hat
She’s pretty as a picture and that is that
No need to keep her or pull her to me
Leave her on the wall let her pass right through me

So
Let go
She’s not your gold
She glitters, she glitters, she glitters just right
She glitters, she glitters, she’ll glitter all night long

She glitters, she glitters, she glitters just right
She glitters, she glitters, she’ll glitter all night
She glitters, she glitters, she glitters just right
She glitters, she glitters, she’ll glitter all night long
