Sycamore (Carter/Fits) Without you got a black and a blue mind Without you get a view of the whole sky Starting today, down by the sycamore Sky'll be blue, I'll make it mine Going on to the other side Going on through, and then just a little more Sycamore blooms, you stole my eye Today is the day you fell and died No going round you like I did before Starting today, sky'll be blue Without you, my sycamore I'm going on to the other side Going on through, I'll make it mine I'm chopping down the giant sycamore Starting today, sky'll be blue Starting today, without you Sycamore blew and caught my eye Shot up and grew and stole my sight That's not happening here anymore Starting today, sky'll be blue Blue every day, without you You in the way, my sycamore |

Brother's Keeper (Carter/Fits) Crack up the back of a dangerous design His helicopters put beauty in the sky Apocalypse behind bowing and smiles It channels, channels, channels, channels It's chewing gum to stick up the mind And daylight robbery is just for the criminal kind You, your brother's keeper, your brother's keeper You try to keep him where the sun won't shine You tie the weak up, you tie the weak up You chain the beast but you can't change minds Here's people wanting to eat in a line Here's twenty thousand and one ways to die Everyone thinking that one won't deny A million places are built by design And razor teeth hiding out behind a beautiful smile Keep minding the matter, it's reason enough to be careful You keep minding the matter, it's reason enough to be fearful |

Train (Carter/Fits) You look stupid asking, but what will you do? Shame of the stars make a fool of the moon Just wanna know one thing that maybe you knew Waiting till then and then what will you do? Got a train by waiting, coming by soon Crystal neck in the wheels, tell me what will you do? I think you're spoiled for choices I think the list of the memories You speak in too many voices What did you mean...? What do you want running through me again? Train... What do you mean running through me again? And where will you go...? You look stupid asking Oh I've discovered that anyway It could have been well taken and mistaken too You look at them, it disappears, you find other ways to render it useless |

Let It Blow (Carter/Fits) Stop me if you've heard this one, but I really have nothing to say Cause every time I figure out the words to get away And your lies you criticise, I recognise the score That enough is enough, it's a shame about us but I really can't try anymore The reason just disappear And you can do nothing there, accept this to yourself Gotta let it lie, then you gotta let it go Goin' la la la la la la la la la la let it blow Accept this to yourself, reasons disappear No scenes at all, and the things that had happened here I've cried, bored, battered your door staggered these streets like a drunk Swaying and praying and crying and dying and praying and all kinds of junk You wanted more, I'll give you more I recognise the score That enough is enough, it's a shame this is rough cause I really can't try anymore And then you gotta let it feel, just so you know Goin' la la la la la la la la la la let it blow Accept this to yourself, reason is disappeared No sense at all, and the things that had happened here Accept this to yourself, drag another year Down to the bone, they say you're only here Until tomorrow |

If I Were You (Carter/Collie/Fits) If I were you my friend, I'd clear my head and start again I'd try the new one on, admire the way it looks so good on If I were you and yours was mine, I'd take like a dog to the water All I could do with the brand new sway, oh If I were you, I'd hold you and touch all the water I wouldn't stay up too long Maybe for just a while, long enough to feel the place where you live If I were you my friend, I'd wear your dress and steal your friends I'd watch the words I said and wash my mouth and start again Unscrew the thread that changed your mind and twist it the way that you would have If I were you then you'd define I'd do it the way that you should have And if I were you, I wouldn't come down so soon If I were you, put on like a coat in the winter I wouldn't stay up so long Maybe for just a while, pray on everything you think about, time I said And I come, come too soon Do, do do do, do do Do, do, do do, ahh If I were you, I wouldn't come down so soon If I were you, give me something new to think about If I were you, I wouldn't trade places, no And if I were you, I'd be like a light switched on in your room |

Turn (Carter/Fits) Stand down, I'm sorry I have proven But it's you asking rude Questions Have you ever been surprised? Or do you keep a more careful station Looking out through others' eyes? And do you feel most lonely Standing hidden in a crowd? And do you feel the need to hold me Keeping close you're almost on me Stand down, I'm sorry I have proven But it's you asking rude... Turn down, you're coming close to glowing Shining brightly, you know only what you do Quickly How to live with all your lies With a list of names and maybes All your friends for alibis Fools [...?...] told you You keep 'em paid and wound up on you And now your hand upon my shoulder Another hand to make, roll over where Like your light, your turn to fly Stand down, to Turn down, move Move round, to |

Way (Carter/Fits) Dream a dream of just for two Your imagination's too Vivid for me to see two Fragments I can hold on to Don't you look that way Don't you look back in a glance Turn it round your way Turn it round your way Coming there, it's earth to you Is any signal getting through? My heads burst to bits of you Shrapnel up from here to you Don't you look that way Don't you look back in a glance Turn it round your way Turn it right around your way And whatever will do It's a new kind of angle Use any excuse As you must when you have to Don't you look that way |

Burn It Up (Carter/Fits) My city said on Channel Z One picture that'll keep me warm forever You should be grateful You should be thankful I care enough, to far too much And stay around to be in touch One single touch, I'll put it out, I'll burn it up My city said on Channel Z One picture there One image cares, will keep me warm forever You should be thankful I build it up, to far too much More than what is, more than what was My temperature is far too much Don't put it out, I'll burn it up One single touch, I'll put it out, I'll burn it up Yeah every time I think maybe I finally got your measurement, got a side staring up, maybe even got myself caring about you Stop...to think again Every time I think maybe I finally got you measured Stop... I build it up to far too much More than what is, more than what was And when the moment's not enough We're standing still to still begrudge My temperature is far too much Don't put it out, I'll burn it up One single touch, I'll put it out, I'll burn it up |
