Focus 02:50
Can't focus My mind is on lower things It's hopeless Can't force myself to begin Reminded A dark cautionary tale Confounded By the way that he fell His urban world affords spectacular views All for the love of a girl he thought he'd nothing to lose It was a simple urge, a complicated plan Brought down the weight of the world, undone by being a man He was a good friend of mine Unnoticed Deploy a wandering eye On notice Your top can blow any time Can't focus Keep losing sight of what's right But do you really need to get into trouble?

Way up in a tower of glass and gilt and ivory A critical mind prepares itself to disagree News of the world condenses and internalised "I've been thinking things over," he said He said... "What's that you say? I say you are wrong That glimpse of truth hidden before too long Let me show you the errors of your ways Trust me, every dogma has its day!" The absence of truth is not enough to slow me down I've been here before, follow me, I know my way around I've done everything, a master of every field We all have to meet our match some time Some time... I've had the shivers and horrors for days There is no time to explain What's that you say? I say you are wrong What's that you say? I say you are wrong

Spends her day in an office It gives her something to do Saving up for a holiday Working so she can get away Falls in love with the new boy A corporation dream If only he wanted her Bent over the copier But she hasn't noticed her best years Have been slipping away She wants an office romance She's just seen her last chance Doesn't go to the city She don't go dancing with boys Lives her life up on the third floor Like an administrative whore But she hasn't noticed her best years Have been slipping away She wants an office romance She's just seen her last chance And she goes laa la la la... She can't get his attention Despite how little she wears She batts her eyes and she flirts and she pouts But he's doing Irene from accounts And she goes laa la la la...

Shining among us But you came out of the blue Shimmer and sparkle like a flame Perfect, unbroken You're one of a kind Man, what a star you are You are like a boy, like a girl you are You are my object of desire You turn your light onto the crowd In the palm of your hand Swagger and swaying to the sound Magnetic, ambiguous One of a kind Attractive, enticing To all boys and girls Charming, seductive The best of both worlds

White Cars 02:42
White cars jamming up a hill Flexing muscle, doing will Unaware, keep pushing through You know, you know what to do Don't stop, don't think Til you hit the brink White will never lose Multi-coloured, terrorised Protected by your mighty size Confidently navigate Heed the warnings far too late Don't stop, don't think Til you hit the brink White will never lose Right? Driving nowhere Very slowly Taking up space Making noise Money, power, style and taste Influences gone to waste Blinkered, sheltered, barely see Blinded by your luxury So drive your fucking privilege Right over the edge No-one will miss you

Feeling you've been lead astray Shattering promises, have you been let down again? Aren't you a delicate flower today? Feeling you want things to change Til now you've done nothing and yet you see fit to complain That's right, everything must go your way What do you want from me now? A pound of flesh? What you love is what you get Expecting the world to bow down Something for nothing with interest, paid in full on time Poor boy! You're having a hell of a time You think because you can smile The stink of your mercinary nature has been disguised No, love. I could smell you for a mile What do you want from me now? A pound of flesh? What you love is what you get But not a drop of blood A drop of blood will spill for you Not a drop of blood A drop of blood will spill for you Trapped in your impotent rage Spitting and fizzing, demanding I hear what you say Calm down, try not to get carried away You're so hard done by, I know Powerful, fortunate, happy, contented and safe Tell me again all the struggles you face What do you want from me now? A pound of flesh? What you love is what you get But not a drop of blood A drop of blood will spill for you Not a drop of blood A drop of blood will spill for you
