Road Eyes
05:20

|
Annie, everyone around us looks ghostly
Now we're getting ready to go to sleep
So we can get tomorrow's hours early
Sunlight, counting out the days of our half-lives
Leading each and every thing out in time
Every thing about it's too ghostly
CHORUS
Annie, everything around moves so slowly
Anything could happen, if only
It's so real
That's right, water flows around us by starlight
Morning comes and everyone's out of sight
No-one wants to hang around early
Taking time, writing out the dates all our friends die
Waiting out to live in what's after life
Every second everything's ghostly
CHORUS
Annie, everything around moves so slowly
Anything could happen, if only
The stories lied
Every second everything else conspires
But anything could happen in your life
Road Eyes

Where are we going to, my girl?
What is the next line?
Anything could come to me
Now that you are on side
Of all of the numbers I have known
You were the first line
Everything fits so neatly
Now that you are on side
All that I know is I am done with anything outside
I'm seeing the bluescreen only now that you are on side
All I know is, oh, I owe it all to foresight
You'll never owe it to me now that you are on side
Now that you are on side
Now that you are on side

Inside Out
05:18
|

|
Oh me, hours seem so long
To which hour do you and I belong?
I'm only an aching animal
A ghostly reflection of the sun
Hold me, out in never-was
With old songs lighting up the both of us
Then one night we'll wake up at the start
Of those skies that you and I adored
Annie, will we ever know
Why old songs one day have to go?
Love comes as I run, run from everything that I saw for too long the sky has up and down and you will be the first in love with those skies, inside out and out and you will be the first in doubt of those lines and in our lives - those games that we can only ever play in time...

Raphael
04:37
|
|||
|
When I close my eyes
Images mean so much more
And I wonder why
Images of life
From the sea swept to the shore
The relics of our time
Relics cased in ice
A third of a second of the film
From Raphael's 'Dark Knight'
Keeper of my heart
Guardian angel of my soul
Will I take my life?
I will
'Cos that's when you find out
Everything isn't
All the walls cave and offer you out
That's when you find out
Everything isn't
All the lights fade and time filters out
That's when you find out
Everything isn't
All the walls cave and offer you out
That's when you find out
Everything isn't
All the lights fade and time filters out
That's when you find out everything isn't

I thought this out and I want you to know
Just how much further I intend to go
We'll work it out in the blazing sun
Turn the feedback up and stare out at everyone
Americans are waiting and now I've got a gun
CHORUS
'Cos it's all about the west coast
New law and awe ever after
With everywhere that I've gone
Where now will harbour the last show?
So all in all then all it ever was
Was a thousand hours sat out in the bus
Then we all find out that we've gone too far
The sun comes up and you don't know who you are
So come give me a hug 'cos I'm back in Echo Park
CHORUS
Yeah it's all about the west coast
New law and the war ever after
With everyone that I've known
Who now will honour the ashes?
Why doesn't everybody else go?

Wave Of The Future

|
I will play some part
I will burn any asphalt
Old songs, if found out
Won't mean you would only have sound
But time will own my heart
Until I die and ever-after starts
Old songs, though forgone
You'll see, soon will be the last ones
CHORUS
You could be the last call
I would never ask more
Even the now the world's on
Look into the ice, girl
You could be the call
Oh me, hours seem long
Slowly, we could never have enough
Of songs, in our minds
Though strong, can only ever play in time
CHORUS
You could be the last call
I would never ask more
Even the now the world's on
Look into the ice, girl
You could be the call
Look into the ice, girl
Everybody out here's done
Even the now the world's on
Even if the sky's gone
You could be the last call
Look into the ice, girl
Everybody out here's done
Even the now the world's on
Even if the sky's gone
You could be the last call

So Naturally
04:00
|
|||
|
And all the lights will fall anyway
In between our nights and our days
No, no one will lie next to me
An image burned in my eyes I'll never see
Soon we will take our last breath
In between our lives and our deaths
Soon we'll look outside and in the street
We'll see the light that ends our lives so naturally

Water From The Sun
06:45
|
|||
|
I lied in wait for water from the sun
A big hand for everybody, it was fun
Walking around like it was something new
Who then to walk around it? Only you
Ever was ever after from the start
Only to find that this is all we've got
Walking around like it was something new
Who then to walk around it? Only you

Inspects The Evil Side
08:42
|
|||
|
All around us fire burns on
Unacknowledged by anyone
And who's to know now which side won
Every one of us held a gun
And wee sing 'Oh, wow'
'Oh, wow'
Hung together in our rooms
One side is me, one side is you
And carefully now one steps through
Inspects the evil side of youth
And we sing 'Oh, wow'
'Oh, wow'
Then altogether our hearts might
Reach for something that's out of sight
That moves around us in our lives
Yeah it moves around us in our eyes
And we sing 'Oh, wow'
A message
'Oh, wow'
Then one by one and side by side
Of the earth but out of time
The enemy won't let arms lie
No the enemy would rather die
And we sing 'Oh, wow'
'Oh, wow'
The ice age
'Oh, wow'
'Oh, wow'

(Alternate / Original Lyrics)
Oh me, hours seem so long
To which hour do you and I belong?
I'm only an aching animal
A ghostly reflection of the sun
Hold me, out in never-was
With old songs lighting up the earth
With old eyes we'll wake up at the birth
Of those skies that you and I adored
Oh me, we will never know
Why old songs one day have to go
(Walls fall down)
Love comes as I run, run from everything that I saw for too long the sky has up and down and you will be the first in love with those skies, inside out and out and you will be the first in doubt of those lines and in our lives - those games that we can only ever play in time...

Old songs, if found out
Won't mean you would only have sound

You could be the last call
Everything'll all fall (all fall down)
You could be the lone star
Does anybody ask anymore?
(You could be the last call)
You could be the last call
Remember why the walls fall (walls fall down)
You could be the air, son
Now everybody else in sight's gone
CHORUS
You could be the last call
I would never ask more
Even the now the world's on
Look into the ice, girl

Look until the eyes gone
I don't have 'em open

Does anybody ask anyone?
You could be the last call
Everything'll all fall

In Our Eyes
03:56
|

|
In our lives, some things need to happen in order to get by
But it’s alright, the song in which they realise everything is fine
In our eyes you will never, oh no, fail to walk in time
And in our dreams of you we never follow anything U.T.
All of our time, each and every hour’s there to underline
It’s In Our Eyes, the song in which they outline everything to Si
In our eyes you will never, oh no, fail to walk in time
And in our dreams of you we never follow anything U.T.

Young Fight
06:16

After the light show everybody goes home
Ever and after will they lie
Underneath the grey sky they tell ‘em and they ask why
Ever and after our reply
All of the teensmoke goes where everybody else knows
Ever and after in our eyes
They know they’re in sight, so what about the young fight?
Ever and after will they lie
‘Cos everybody movies on like there’s some kind of young fight
Everybody opens up their eyelids at the same sight
‘Cos everybody mirrors soul like there’s some kind of young fight
While out of all the ashes of the sun they try to make light
But in the darkness they see more than eyes could ever untie
But everybody mirrors soul like there’s some kind of young fight
Out of all the ashes of the sun they try to make light
Out of all the ways it was to breathe in something outright
But everybody movies on like there’s some kind of young fight
Everything the moon looks on - their souls that try to take flight
But everything is always all impossible and uptight
But everybody mirrors soul like there’s some kind of young fight

Airstrike
04:44

After the airstrike, in awe of ours we drew a line
Borders were in sight, of the earth but out of time
But we never could buy enough of ours to make it right
The evil that’s inside all of us, is it infinite?
‘Cos now the line’s all gone
In awe of ours we drew the sun
and now the news got out
In awe of ours the lamps came down
Where’d the news get found?
Above the sky, below the ground
Where’d the news get found?
Above the sky, below the ground
and now the lines all gone
In awe of ours we drew the sun
and now the news got out
In awe of ours…

Dark Is Out
05:24
|

|
Calm down now, there’s no need to doubt any of that old sound that you were sad about
‘Cos everybody’s waited so long but you won’t come around
Always owe’ing to the way it was always only ours
How long does anybody really go when dark is out?
When we sixteen the skies were the guide and the world was uptight
The years were out of time ‘cos every minute of the day is long and we long for ours
to be everything to everyone and move the darkness out
When beauty flows over me
Leaving years all around
Moving soft and slowly
and leaving you without a doubt
How long does anybody really go when dark is out?
When beauty flows over me
Leaving years all around
Moving soft and slowly
and leaving you without a doubt
Beauty flows over me
Leaving years all around
Moving soft and slowly
and leaving you without a doubt

Covered In Ice
06:44
|

The light moves your eyes on the inside
The world dares you to move the outside
All of lives moving in time
Although our lives are on the outside
Did someone open the sky and pour us in?
Covered in ice
It’s your move and I’m sure that you’re right
‘Cos to yours to there’s truth and mine is all lies
All of lives moving in time
Although our lives are on the outside
Did someone open the sky and pour us into some cruel sunrise that never sets?
Covered in ice
I’ll be on your street here in real life
With a new story and in between lines
Build a noose slowly to imitate time
‘Cos with news so real we might as well die

Time’s so cold
Time is all the light that’s ever gone
The whole thing’s over before it starts
The wires unfold
The winding waste of hours oversold
The whole thing’s over before it starts
and time feels old
Time feels old
What a war
If all these evil hours were unsure
Would the world still die out before it’s born?
Would we go too far?
The light still burning out our bleeding hearts?
and the whole thing over before it starts?
‘Cos time feels old
Time feels old
The earth’s made it up too long
The day’s done and time feels wrong
But don’t look back, it’s already way gone
After that, they want you to move on
They make it hard to understand
From where you are they make you follow in your footsteps
They make it hard to understand
From where you are they make your choice to be a man
The earth’s made it up too long
The day’s done and time feels wrong

Amusement Parks On Fire UK
Amusement Parks On Fire emanated in around 2004 with the circulation of an eponymous debut album, conceived and consummated by the then-adolescent founder Michael Feerick and phonically actualised on a shoestring. Issued on Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak>)’s Invada label, it was described by the New Musical Express as 'hedonistic teenage genius'... ... more

Dances / Curses
by Hey Colossus
Quite plainly a classic and one of only a very rare few double-albums worthy of the extended running time. Deservedly now on it's fifth pressing on their own equally accomplished Wrong Speed Records.

When I Fall From The Sky
by Misty Coast
Norway's finest folks. Utterly excellent purveyors of beautifully written, expertly performed, cleverly recorded noise-pop which, in a just world, would be topping the charts all over the globals.

Sam is something of a songwriting savant. That much has been clear since the first Nine Black Alps releases, but never has it been so gloriously displayed as on this exemplary album.
