Mystery #1

It’s a mystery today when it’s over
Where you gonna go when you fade out
You didn’t tell me why
I know I didn’t ask
I could tell there was something wrong
I heard it in your voice
I saw it in your eyes
Turn the contrast down
You’re on TV again you’re in my window
I don’t think I can tell which one’s the real you
I drew you on my wall and now you are here
You didn’t answer back and that’s no different
I heard it in your voice
I saw it in your eyes
Turn the contrast down
I crushed my own mistakes
They’re here in writing
I hope it’s not too late
I’m coming over
You’re on TV again you’re in my window
I don’t think I can tell which one’s the real you

Mask
02:31
|
|||
Thought you were tall
You were standing on a wall
With a mask stuck over your head
Thought you were clever
But you sold me down the river
And now everything’s turning bright red
I can’t stop seeing you
You’re hanging around
On the edges of this town
Mask stuck on your head
You were there
Like always everyone stared
There was a mask stuck over your head
You look much better
When you take it off
I know you’re hiding like you wish you were dead
I said I’d get you a coffee
But you turned me flat down
Can’t you take it off
Mask stuck on your head
Maybe we could take a shower
In the fountain at the park
I’ll meet you there at ten o’clock
Just after it gets dark
You look so much better now
I wonder why your hiding
You could be yourself tonight
Or anyone instead

Unfair Game
03:04
|
|||
These simple words are wrong
I said I love you
It took too long
Do you always have to sing that same dark song
I saw you turning red
Maybe it’s better if you don’t know what I said
Maybe I’d better not stay
If I was you I’d forget everything I say
It’s been a long time coming
I’m down in some tube station
Drunk and humming
You’re a flash frame
You never stay the same
You could dive for cover
But you know that you’re unfair game
I saw you thinking out loud
I nearly laughed but I’m not proud
Do you always have to bring that same dark cloud
I saw you turning blue
I don’t think you’re in control of the stuff you do
Maybe I’d better not stay
If I was you I’d forget everything I say
These simple plans screw up
It’s dark around here
I lost my coffee cup

World's So Different
02:21
|

hey the world’s so different
all you gotta do is go outside
hey the world’s so different
all you gotta do is buy a flashlight
hey the world’s so different
all you gotta do is run and hide
hey hey world’s so different
the world’s so different
hey your name’s so difficult
I can’t say it and neither can you
Hey the world’s so different
I’m gonna drive off the edge are you coming
Hey your dreams have all gone
Left you for dead and you don’t know
Hey the world’s so different
if I ask you twice can I talk to you

Can't Stand The Light
03:11
|
|||
I stepped out in the sunlight
Something was wrong
The sky was yellow I took a hit
On my white cigarette
It must have been something
You never said
I looked at my watch and it had stopped
I stopped moving Chain smoking
All my pictures of you
You were moving so fast
You’re like a streak of light in the dust
Out in the dark on Saturday night
This day is blown open I can’t stand the light
I can’t stand the light
I can’t stand the light
This day is blown open
I can’t stand the light
I stepped into the car
I was feeling a fraud
All my fiction was falling
I couldn’t remember the words
I cut my phone line
I took what you said to heart
You’re just a paper cut out I think you try too hard
These words are a thing that I steal
These words are like angels Where do they come from
How could this be so wrong
This day was blown open all along

Caught In A Trap
02:40
|
|||
caught in a trap
i can’t reach my phone or take the rap
what a surprise
when i woke up and looked into your eyes
maybe it’s real
i’m falling through the air like a spinning wheel
i’ve been so mad i’m feeling pretty good
i am not sad
i’m caught in a trap
i’m in slow motion and I
can’t control my emotions there’s gonna be a big explosion
but i’m not turning back
caught in a trap
a monumental tower of screaming truth
and you are lit up
a daisy chain of lies and coffee cups
did you make it through
i think my answerphone’s been sniffing glue
i didn’t expect you to understand a single thing i said
nothing we can do will change a thing
we’ll be running down the road again
clutching chances like screaming megaphones
but i’m not turning back
caught in a trap
i can’t close my eyes or make a call
caught in a trap
i don’t know why i liked you at all

George Zipp
02:46
|

Where’s your whip
And where’s your good friend george zipp
I can’t remember and I’m starting to slip
And what the hell happened to your bottom lip
On the floor and raving
I’m not sure if your worth saving
I can’t give you the love your craving
Don’t ask me to try
Where are your eyes
I guess you didn’t notice and I’m not surprised
Where’s your face
It was made out of latex down on Cavendish place
This time has words of it’s own
Today I don’t think we’ll ever get home
All your dreams and all your fears
Are in a yellow cab
Heading over here
Where’s your fire
You carelessly mislaid your hearts desire
As expensive as it was
The least you could have done was find a good cause
Where’s your trip
When you leave don’t forget about george zipp
If he must deny
You can tell him to say it
When he looks you in the eye

Perfect Disguise
02:40
|
|||
You pulled the blinkers right over my eyes
I couldn’t move from the second you lied
I didn’t understand that was how it was
And I’m still not laughing
You make it up as you’re going along
I didn’t guess I’m too clever to be wrong
I’ve got the perfect disguise
I’ve got these memories inside
And I’m not coming round again
I lost it on the inside
I lost it on the underground
I couldn’t get it back again
But I know I’ll get you soon
With my perfect disguise
You pulled my world apart
You made an art of screwing up everything
I’ve never seen you notice what you do
What you’re doing to yourself every time

Believe
02:31
|
|||
you got caught out
your explanation stinks
you’re made of glass
one day you will smash
what can i say
to make you understand
you’re very quiet
and you don’t stand a chance
can’t believe you
won’t believe you
don’t believe you
none of this is true
you came apart
everyone just stared
if i had been there
i wonder if i’d have cared
i can’t see you anymore
what do you want me to say

How To Tell
03:37
|
|||
there was something here
but we can’t get it back
my eyes won’t focus
and i’m starting to lose track
i’m holding you tightly
but you’ve almost disappeared
i said i love you
but you told me i’m plain weird
and i’m trying to make sense
but it feels like self defence
and i don’t know how to tell
remember we were drunk
and sliding on the ice
you said that love is good
but hate is half the price
i said hey now
what the hell does that mean
you replied no matter how you try
you never feel clean
i thought i was screwed up
but you are just the worst
sometimes you’re crazy
i think you’re gonna burst
remember we were drunk
and sliding on the ice
you said that love is good
but hate is half the price

Ansaphone
02:47
|
|||
You’ve been wrong
Did I wake you up when I called you on the phone
You’re not alone
I’ve been in the shadows all along
Didn’t you say
You never heard you never understood
I’ll wake you up at nine o’clock
I’ve got to tell you something
The lights are on but there’s no one home
You left your dreams on your asaphone
You’ve been away
Chances are you were never here at all
You’ve lost your voice
Hey I like it better when you just shut up
I’ll do the talking
When we hit the check point keep your head down here
Don’t walk away
I hope I’ll understand you one day
You’re so cold
But it wouldn’t help if I gave you all my clothes
You better stay awake
You’ve gotta stay alive a little more
One day soon
I’ll buy you a rocket to the moon
I thought I saw you laugh
But it’s hard to tell and I know you won’t say

breaking up in the morning
I know I always will
Paint my windows black and white
This time I’ve had my fill
Sitting down the purple bar
Blowing up my best friends car
I’m trying to figure out things so far
I’ve been drowning in my beer
It’s been 57 hours since I lost you
Killed some time with people I don’t like and they don’t like me
I’d love you ‘till the cows come home
And by the way did you notice I’ve gone
I’m losing all my favourite things
Forgetting how to sing
Maybe I should have tied you up with stronger string
I’m drowning in my fear
It’s been 57 hours since I lost you
Right now I miss you so much
My head will explode
I’m falling off my chair
I’d call you but I’m too scared
To hear what you’re gonna tell me
To hear what you’re doing without me
Maybe I’ll just kill another beer
It’s been 57 hours since I lost you
It feels like 57 years since I lost you

Big Dark Nowhere
03:50
|
|||
This is where I try to make some sense
Of this whole mad show
Sometimes I am really pretty dense
And I think you know
Feels like I just woke up from a trance
Now it’s time to go
Driving out to this big dark nowhere
I lost my map but I don’t care
I’d buy you a drink but you’re not there
I’m almost sure I saw you glitch
Are you through the one way glass
Are you changing into someone else
This is where I tell you I love you
And I always did
I was never frank the human fly
No matter what you said
My super human powers are just a scam
A joke that you misread

Disconnected
02:28
|

I tried to remember
But this infamous message was turning around in my dream
Stopped breathing
What can you say when the curtain’s on fire
You know I’ll never miss you
I’ll tape my self to the door
This number’s disconnected
I tried to get back
But you know how it is
I don’t think that you care anymore
Don’t move
The ashes are flashing the sky has changed for good
You know I’ll never see you
There’s a message but I don’t know for who
This number’s disconnected
This number’s disconnected
I saw you for a second
You were walking on by
And the least you could have done was look surprised
Did I tell you you look like a dream in the rain
Did I say now
Did I tell you to try
Never start again
This infamous message is waiting around to break in
This number’s disconnected
