These Are My Animals

These are my animals
These are my fruit trees
This is my deliverance
And these are my friends
These are my mothers
These are my brothers
This is my energy
And this is my farm
These are my children
This is my family
These are myselves
And this is my home
These are my animals
These are my fruit trees
This is my deliverance
And these are my friends

Not Who You Think I Am
02:57
|
|||
Not who you think I am, Not what you want me to be
Not who you think I was, But who I am,
Who I am
Not who you think I am, Not who you want me to be
Not who you thought I was, But who I am
Who I am
Not why I thought I was, Not why I thought it was true
Not why I am sitting here, Infront of you
Infront of you
Not from my garden, Not from the road home
Not from the river, Where I was alone
I was alone, I was alone
All across the fields, There are scattered bones
All across the fields, birds are eating toads
Wind in the willows, Made with road kill
Wind through the willows, Can be such a thrill
Such a thrill such a thrill
So I’m going to go now, but I’ll make a wish
All of my life, just to be this
You are a river, and I am a stone
Somebody threw me and left me alone
Left me alone, I’ll leave you alone
Leave you alone, leave you alone
We are alone

Blueray Kernel Crash
03:37
|
|||
Spinning down and warming up again
Wait for the light and then the sound
Cross a field to pick it up again
The blue ray kernel crash
Follow the river to the stream
Follow the stream to the spring
In the valley the rain in falling
To slove the blue ray kernel crash
Under the field there’s a tunnel
In the tunnel there’s a pipe
In the pipe the blue is flowing
Growing the blue ray kernel crash
They want us to ly down and float down stream
And not to worry and buy the dream
To get their interface from their pilot scheme
To roll over and stay still and do not scream
Scrape your cheak against the peaks
Try to detect another leak
Try to push yourself through the net
But it’s a crash so this is as far as you get
Blue ray kernel crash

Breaking Off Branches
03:54
|
|||
You know that you can share anything with me
You know that you can tell me what you want to be
You know that I will carry you as far as I can see
Right through the village tunnels up to the dying tree
You know that you can share anything with me
Looking through your window at us swinging from the tree
Breaking off branches from the dying tree
Then building a big fire as big as a city
You know that you can share anything with me
Do what you want, when you like then come in for your tea
Throw stones, get stoned, sit alone on a road
Think about the princes, and the kiss, and the toad
So you know now you can tell me anything you want
Tell me about your fires and setting fire to a dog
Watch it run yelping, running for it’s life
It was the dog of a neighbour who you really didn’t like
So this is our little village with children and little wives
With laddies stealing shot guns and children carrying knives
With shock and horror at the masacre on the green
By a man who was obsessed with everything, being clean
So you know that you can share anything with me
Do what you want, when you like then come in for your tea
Breaking off branches from the dying tree
Then build a big fire as big as a city

My Shadow
02:32
|
|||
I’ve been proding around in the surface
I’ve been moving away from home
So many places to visit
And many ways to be alone
Digging up rocks from the surface
Can be more dangerous than using a gun
So many places to hide these days
From reflections from the sun
I know the man who’s commnig over the hill
Like the rising of the moon
I’m going to have to hide in the surface
Because I don’t want to see him soon
Hiding might be seen as running
But running is to somewhere else
Under a rock in my garden
Behind a book that was left on the shelf
Please just give me some time
To take another breath
Please just give me some time
To take a little rest
Clinging to the carpet and watch
The movement of the trees
I’m going to run away from my shadow
Because it doesn’t look like me at all

Get Ready To Run
02:02
|
|||
Looking at the trees and the pavement
Looking at a bag in the hedge
Looking at the sky and the branches
There’s a man in the bag and he’s dead
I went to the shops at lunchtime
I went to the shops with a friend
They told me they’re leaving their lover
They told me their life should end
I’m going to sit on the floor by the window
I’m going to sit on a bench in the park
There’s a man with a gun and he’s running
He’s running and leaving his mark
Bang bang, leave your lover
Bang bang, lock your door
Bang bang, moving faster
Bang bang, clean your floors
I know I can run faster than you now
I can even run faster than me
Running now faster forever
Running is fun and it’s free
Get ready to run, get ready to run, get ready to run
Get ready to run and put on your shoes
Get ready to run, get ready to run, get ready to run
Get ready to run and put on your shoes

Ikea
02:13
|
|||
Well I think I want to go to Ikea
Well I think I want to walk in the maze
Well I think I want to go to Ikea
Well I think I want to return in a daze
Well I think I want to choose from the choices
Build an individual autonomous home
Be calmed by the colours and the difference of textures
Fall asleep in the comfort that I’m not alone
It’s blue and yellow on the out side if you mix it it’s green
The colours of the plants that used to be seen
Mashed up pressed together with a glue I can’t see
One hundred ways to sit down, oh lucky me
Well I think I want to go to Ikea
Well I think I want to walk in the maze
Well I think I want to go to Ikea
Well I think I want to return in a daze
For the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, more useful things
I’m going to jump through the hoop and the fiery ring
To solve the problems that weren’t problems, that I couldn’t see
I brought lots of their stuff so they’re happy with me
Well I think I want to go to Ikea
Well I think I want to walk in the maze
Well I think I want to go to Ikea
Well I think I want to return in a daze

Happy With You
03:13
|
|||
We are only here for a little while
That’s why I’m going to sit here
And try and make you smile
It’s not just another Day may be all that we’ve got
That’s why the stillness in the house reminds me a lot
Of the people and the places and all we have seen
Of all we’ve become and all we have been
I am very happy with you
I am very happy with you
We are only here for a little while
That’s why I’m going to sit here
And try and make you smile
But everybody wants to be somebody else
As long as that somebody is not himself
Not my friends or neighbors or what I have seen
Not what I‘ve imagined or what I will dream
Because I am very happy with you
Because I am very happy with you
We are only here for a little while
That’s why I’m going to sit here
And try and make you smile
Because I am very happy with you
Because I am very happy with you

Crawling Anyway
02:34
|
|||
There is a collection of me in the sand by the sea
We’ve been sent here to crush sea shells and eat salt for our Tea
Got to Crawl before you can walk before you can fly like a Bird
The Black flies on the dead Fish said that’s what they had heard
But I’m crawling anyway
I’m crawling anyway
Scrape your face in the sand is like defoliate cream
With your face down and drowning is not a pleasant dream
Run as fast as you can when you’ve got no legs
Keep strong, don’t stay long and keep eating your eggs
And keep away from the man with the big black boots
Keep away from the man with the big black boots
Deflating quite slowly whilest you look upon
The foam that was squeezed out like a snail moving along
Anchored to the floor and torn by the waves
Blown by the wind that says Jesus saves
I’m crawling any way
I’m crawling any way

Kids Nowadays
04:20
|
|||
She’s with her friends in her room make-up in hand
They all start to laugh as they try to stand on high-heels
Into the car, they smell like flowers
Cut from the tropics in the last few hours I say I’ll pick them up at 10 O’clock sharp
There is nothing I can do because it’s all the same
There is nothing I can do because it’s like a train
The colours have changed and so have the parts
In this story of life this is what we call a new start
So this is what the kids are doing nowadays in the Disco
So this is what the kids are doing nowadays in the Disco
They brought tickets to stand, at the side of the room
Watching the boys and starting to swoon over their hair gel
Move into the middle now they’re starting to dance
Trying out the tricks they picked up from the television
It’s 9 O’clock and the slow dance has come
Getting picked out is the most fun that they’ve had all evening
They’re kissing hello and pushing goodbye sitting in the corner and starting to cry
Asking their friends to get in touch with the other
connections through a sister or maybe a brother until they are outside
So this is what the kids are doing nowadays in the Disco
So this is what the kids are doing nowadays in the Disco
I don’t belive a word of what she said to me
Mud on her hands and blood on her knees on her knees
Looking at the faces of her friends
I know that this ins’t the end it’s the beginning
There is nothing I can do because it’s all the same
There is nothing I can do because it’s like a train
The colours have changed and so have the parts
In this story of life this is what we call, a new start
So this is what the kids are doing nowadays in the Disco
So this is what the kids are doing nowadays in the Disco

Femme De Complet
02:54
|

fall in love like a prince with a princess
fall in love just like you
fall in love in perfect surroundings
fall in love and that it be true
live my life like a prince with his princess
live my life just with you
But I am bitter and I am helpless
I‘m an Ogre singing Pixie tunes
The girl’s got a ship and the ship is a tug boat
She’s likes to plough through the streets at night
She leaves a trail like a snail with no shell
She turns green and yellow under the light
fall in love like a prince with a princess
fall in love just like you
fall in love in perfect surroundings
fall in love and that it be true
My love is a bucket and it’s full of sun shine
My love is as strange as a dying cloud
My love looks like something I found in my garden
My love is quite and sometimes loud
fall in love like a prince with a princess
fall in love just like you
fall in love in perfect surroundings
fall in love and that it be true
I made this hat and I’m going to wear it
I made this hat from thing in my bag
I made this hat from the skins of my dreaming
I made this hat when I was sad
fall in love like a prince with a princess
fall in love just like you
fall in love in perfect surroundings
fall in love and that it be true

Part Of Me
02:02
|
|||
Part of me drowned in the ocean
Part of me fell from the tree
Part of me got left by the roadside
Part of me will never be free
Part of me burns on the fire
Part of me got dropped on the ground
Part of me hangs onto the fictions
Knowing I will never be found
I thought I had a boat that was sailing
I thought I’d built a house in a tree
I thought I was driving to find you
But I got lost inside reflections of me
I blame all of your perfect opinions
I blame everything I didn’t do
I blame all of my life and my journey
I blame everything I think is true
Here I am and I’m sitting beside you
Here I am and I’m still wandering why
Why my boat is a house and it’s sailing
Over all of the tears that I cry
Part of me drowned in my ocean
Part of me hangs from the tree
Part of me clings to the roadside
Part of me will never be free
Part of me drowned in the ocean
Part of me fell from the tree
Part of me got left by the roadside
Part of me will never be free

Breath
01:16
|
|||
Breath in the air
Walk on the ground
Wiggle your toes in the sand
Because this water has brought us this land
Hold a stone in your palm
Feel the weight of the ground
It’s like listening to the sea
And feel it breathing just like me
I’m going to sit here and look at the sun
Look at ships and the way it began
Watch the birds go fishing in teams
Go with the flow but don’t swim in the stream
Breath in the air

Google It Up

What’s the meaning, Huh? What’s the meaning of life
What’s the meaning, Huh? What’s the meaning of life
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
Amazon said it is the things that are told
Bol dot com said it is the things that are sold
I don’t know where it can be found
But on google there’s a swamp of pictures and sound
It’s on Google, Huh? I’m going to google it up
It’s on Google, Huh? I’m going to google it up
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
I know that birds and planes they like to fly
I know moles in holes, they like to lie
Polluting the rivers and making blue mud
Making purple flowers with yellow buds
It’s on Google, Huh? Go and Google it up
It’s on Google, Huh? Go and Google it up
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
On a walk one day, with out my phone
I looked at insects dancing on their own
I saw the clouds were walking through the sky
Mr mole is his hole whole, he looked quite shy
What’s the meaning, Huh? What’s the meaning of life
What’s the meaning, Huh? What’s the meaning of life
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
I’m going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g google it up
