Pop Song 04:00
lyrics

There’s something in my head Just a little thing I heard just a pop song It’s not trying to be cool Or be deep and meaningful it’s just a pop song It doesn’t even rhyme It’s not even played in time it’s just a pop song It’s not crying to be heard It’s not going to change the world it’s just a pop song Ohh ohh a little pop song Ohh ohh a little pop song It’s not clever or refined It will not improve your mind it’s just a pop song It will follow you to bed It will never leave your head it’s just a pop song You can not leave it behind It’s a curse that you don’t mind it's just a pop song It was written just for me It’s a secret melody just a pop song Ohh ohh a little pop song Ohh ohh a little pop song But sometimes that is all I need I’ve had enough of mysteries So won’t you play that song for me A passive tense A paradigm A missing verse A broken rhyme So won't you play that song for me Figures of speech Two syllables Just out of reach And standing still Oh won't you play that song for me It’s just a word It’s just a noun Movement of air A tiny sound Ah won't you play that song for me Pop song

You Said No 02:06
lyrics

We could gather up the stars, we'd snatch them from the night Just to rearrange them all to write our names in lights We could pull the mountains down and drain the oceans dry Just to ease your every step in case you might walk by But you said no and I Didn’t mind If I can hold your hand Then that would be just fine In my mind It will be enough If I can watch you dancing once more I would be so happy darling We could set the world on fire to make a huge light show To set your lovely smile against a pretty orange glow Teach the whole world, every single person everywhere How to sing this song for you, to show how much I care But you said no and I Didn’t mind If I can hold your hand Then that would be just fine In my mind It will be enough If I can watch you dancing once more I would be so happy darling Let me see you dancing once more

Nice Place You've Got Here 02:39
lyrics
buy track
We've come from 50 million light years away We thought we would jump down just to say hi Oh won't you let us in your hearts in your hearts Oh won't you let us in your hearts Cos we see the skies and feel the sun Shining down on everyone We heard the birds sing and the waves that roar Who could want more We all think you have got a heaven on earth And we wish that we could take your place Live in your cities, drive your cars, drive your cars Live in your cities, drive your cars And watch the stars that shine at night The waterfalls that glisten brightly The waves that break along your golden shores Who could want more Take us to your leader cos we want to be your friends We come in peace but we just want to say Something in the ether smells so bad that we can’t breathe Something so bad that we can’t breathe We watch your cities burn at night People scream and soldiers fight Running home to double lock your door Who could want more You could watch the children laugh and play Marvel at your lives and say This world is perfect, who could ask for more Who could want more

The Good Gardener 04:20
lyrics
buy track
I’m awfully busy out in the garden watering, weeding, tending the beds I’ve got lovely begonias, buddleia, marigolds And down at the bottom a nice little shed At the back of the shed there’s a bench with some plant pots Underneath that there’s a hatch hidden there It covers a tunnel which runs a short distance On to my bunker and underground lair In some of the chambers I keep bits and pieces A few bags of compost, lawnmower, seeds Then there’s the armoury, hangars and silos And a nice hat I’ll wear when my campaign succeeds My friends like to drop in, run through the masterplan Pop down for tea in the base underneath I do call them friends, my private militia They’re all very friendly and armed to the teeth Down deep in the dirt I rip out the weeds Sowing the seeds, tomorrow we’ll need I hack, rip slash and burn and cut out dead wood All for the earth’s good, as good gardeners should When I take over, who’ll prune my roses My new dictatorship may fill the day I know you’ll have questions (Pruning at this time?) My answer, Shut up and don’t get in my way Down deep in the dirt I rip out the weeds Sowing the seeds, tomorrow we’ll need I hack, rip slash and burn and cut out dead wood All for the earth’s good, as good gardeners should Down deep in the dirt I rip out the weeds Sowing the seeds, tomorrow we’ll need I hack, rip slash and burn and cut out dead wood All for the earth’s good, as good gardeners should
