1. INTRO

Shit them all festival, laugh at the beautiful,
It’s just a nod to the canon.
Simple man Stan can’t stand up on the beautiful, It’s just a Nod to the canon.
Stickle brick, tickle quick, laugh at the beautiful, It’s just A nod to the canon.
Hustle over hot muscle shower, twitch off the beautiful,

It’s just a nod to the canon now


2. RIP AND RUIN

She only ever walks to count her steps
Eighteen strides and she stops to abide
By the law that she herself has set
That eighteen steps is one complete set

And before the next
Nine right and nine left
She looks up at the blue
And whispers to all of the above

Don't let me drown, don't breath alone
No kicks no pangs no broken bones
Never let me sink, always feel at home
No sticks, no shanks and no stones

Never leave it too late, always enjoy the taste
Of the great gray world of hearts
As all dogs everywhere bark, it's worth knowing
Like all good fruit the balance of life is in the ripe and Ruin


3. TESSELLATE

Bite chunks out of me, you’re a shark and I’m swimming,
My heart still thumps as I bleed, and all your friends come Sniffing. Triangles are my favourite shape, three points Where two lines meet. Toe to toe back to back let’s go, my Love it’s very late,
Till morning comes let’s tessellate.
Three guns, one goes off – one’s empty – one’s not quick Enough. One burn – one red – one grin, search the graves While the camera spins. Chunks of you will sink down to Seals, blubber rich in mourning, They’ll nosh you up yes They’ll nosh the love away,
But it’s fair to say you will still haunt me.
Triangles are my favourite shape, three points where two Lines meet. Toe to toe back to back let’s go, my love it’s Very late,
Till morning comes let’s tessellate.


4. BREEZEBLOCKS

She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breeze blocks
Citrezene your fever’s gripped me again Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops
La la la la
Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey
La la la la
Break down the weak
Build up breakfast now lets eat
My love my love love love

La la la la

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear had gripped me but here I go My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips my hand as my eyes shut

Do you know where the wild things go they go along to take our honey
La la la la
Break down the weak
Build up breakfast now lets eat
My love my love love love
La la la la
She bruises cold she splutters pistol shots
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breeze blocks
LA LA LA LA
She's morphine queen of my vaccine
My love my love love love,

La la la la

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped my but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips my hand as my eyes shut

She may contain the urge to runaway
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breeze blocks
Germaline disinfect the scene
My love my love love love

Please don't go, I love you so my darling

Please don’t go please don’t go I love you so I love you so
please don’t go I love you so I love you so
Please break my heart
Please don’t go please don’t go I love you so I love you so
Please don’t go I love you so I love you so
Please break my heart

Please don't go, I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so I love you so I love you so

6. SOMETHING GOOD

Something good, oh something good, oh something good, oh Something good tonight make me forget about you for now

Get high, hit the floor before you go,
Matador, estocado, you're my blood sport

But something good, oh something good, oh something good, Oh Something good tonight make me forget about you for now

Forty eight thousand seeds, please, send rose, for my Memories of you,
Now that I'm fully clean, the matador is no more, he's Dragged from view

Get high, hit the floor before you go,
Matador, estocado, you're my blood sport,
Forty eight thousand seeds, please, send rose, for my Memories of you,
Now that I am clean, the matador is no more, is dragged from View

But something good, oh something good, oh something good, Oh Something good make me forget about you for now


7. DISSOLVE ME

Now dissolve me, two tabs on your tongue,
A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep, sleep now my only One.
Broken sweethearts who sleep apart
Both still pine for the other's side spine, spoon as sleep Starts.

And pulse to pulse, now shush.

She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me Down.

I am see-through, soap sliver you're so thin,
As I begin rubbing lathers up your state worsens on my skin.
And gold, fatless finger to lip, one two three four hush.

And pulse to pulse, now shush.

She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me Down.
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes, I am tired Now.
She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the north Sea


8. MATILDA

This is from
This is from
This is from Matilda

Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on.
Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's Boss.
My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success.

Oh this is from
This is from
This is from Matilda

And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda

Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to go on.
Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's Boss.
My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success.

Oh this is from
This is from
This is from Matilda

And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
(And love is wonder twice
And )

And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda

This is for Matilda
This is from Matilda
Matilda
Matilda
Matilda


9. MS

We can’t lose touch but we can let go, blue and white gun Made from Lego.
All the vowels vow to hold your name, keep your estate clean Of me.
I’ve pillowed you so many times this week,
Close eyes, open, close again, forget and fall asleep.
The dark seeks dark,
The dark seeks dark,
Darker,
Darker,
The nights of all my youth pressed into one glass of water.
Scattered truths, bewildered beast boohoos, we have our Weight: ten thousand ladybirds. All the vowels vow to guard Your name, keep your estate clean, happy.
Some things lie too deep for tears to well,
Close eyes open, close again, feel as my body spells
Dark seeks dark,
Dark seeks dark,
Darker,
Darker,
The shadow burns across like embers tide paper.
Darker, darker, darker, darker.


10. FITZPLEASURE

Tralala, in your snatch fits pleasure, broom-shaped Pleasure,
Deep greedy and Googling every corner.
Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N,
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys soon became Mandela Men.
Tall woman, pull the pylons down
And wrap them around the necks of all the feckless men that Queue to be next.
Steepled fingers, ring leaders, queue jumpers, rock fist Paper scissors, lingered fluffers.
In your hoof lies the heartland
Where we tent for our treasure, pleasure, leisure, les yeux, It's all in your eyes.
In your snatch fits pleasure, broom-shaped pleasure,
Deep greedy and Googling every corner,
Blended by the lights.


11. PIANO

(Instrumental)


12. BLOODFLOOD

C-O-double M-O-N
A wave, an awesome wave, that rushes skin and widens in Blooded veins. Breath in, exhale, I’ve poked a nerve he’ll Slap me like a whale Slaps the sea-O-double M-O-N.
Tide out, tide in, a flood of blood to the heart and the Fear slipstreams. Breath in, exhale, I’ve poked a nerve He’ll slap me like a whale Slaps the sea-O-double M-O-N.
Flood of blood to the heart.


13. TARO

Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
They advance as does his chance – very yellow white flash.
A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like Rags,
Burst so high finally Capa lands,
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy, foe, him five Yards from his leg, From you Taro.
Do not spray into eyes – I have sprayed you into my eyes.
3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last Chokes
All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken To dots,
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not – le photographe Est mort. 3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of ‘54
Doors open like arms my love, Painless with a great Closeness
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing, re-united with his Leg and with you, Taro. Do not spray into eyes – I have Sprayed you into my eyes.
Hey Taro!


BONUSTRACK


14. HAND-MADE

Your sting red full stops my skin, dotted, scratch scratch, Now I’m bleeding.
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings.
There’s bears in the wood and they’re out to get me,
And I’m safe from harm if I stay in this chalet.
And hold me tight and I’ll sink in,

I’m absorbed in your thinking,
And you don’t know.
Your sting red full stops my skin, dotted, scratch scratch, Now I’m bleeding.
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings
For you.
