The Mono LPs - Isolation
02:48
|

In fear every day, every evening,
He calls her aloud from above,
Carefully watched for a reason,
Painstaking devotion and love,
Surrendered to self preservation,
From others who care for themselves.
A blindness that touches perfection,
But hurts just like anything else.
Isolation, isolation, isolation.
Mother I tried please believe me,
I'm doing the best that I can.
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through,
I'm ashamed of the person I am.
Isolation, isolation, isolation.
But if you could just see the beauty,
These things I could never describe,
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
This is my one lucky prize.
Isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation.

Wildcat kelley, lookin' mighty pale
Was standin' by the sherrif's side
And when the sherrif said "I'm sendin you to jail
Wildcat raised his head and cried
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide-open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you, please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my ol' saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder 'till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'till I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Wildcat kelley, back again in town
Was standin by his sweetheart's side
And when his sweetheart said "come on, let's settle down
Wildcat raised his head and cried
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my ol' saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder 'till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'till I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

The economy’s down and the Prime Minister’s sick
"Who's in charge, now?" I don't know, take your pick.
A new disease here today and the old one’s are coming back
Things are looking kind of grey, like they're gonna get black
Don't turn on the TV, don't show me the paper
I don't want to know he got kidnapped or why nobody saved her
I want to go on vacation to get rid of this cough
But I can’t find a plane now that’s gonna take off
[Chorus]
It's been a hard day on the planet
How much is it all worth?
It's getting harder to understand it
Things are tough all over on earth.
It's hot in December and cold in July
When it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky
In America the body count keeps getting higher
It's evil out there, man that place is always on fire.
Everyone has a system, but they can't seem to win
Even Dom Cummings looks alarmingly thin
I got to get on Elon’s shuttle and get me out of this place
But there's gonna be warfare up there in outer space
[Chorus]
I've got clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
A roof over my head and something to eat
My kids are all healthy and my folks are alive
You know, it's amazing but sometimes I think I'll survive
I've got all of my fingers and all of my toes
I'm pretty well off I guess, I suppose
So how come I feel bad so much of the time?
A man ain’t an island - John Donne wasn't lying
[Chorus]
It's business as usual; some things never change
It's unfair, unkind, unjust and it's strange
We don't seem to learn; we can't seem to stop
Maybe some explosions would close up the shop
You know, maybe that would be fine, because we would be off the hook
We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took
And it all would be over, finito, the end
Until the survivors start it up all over again
[Chorus]

Oli Cunliffe - Yesterday
02:04

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hangin' over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

There's a boy, fifteen, with a gun in his hand
And the people with no audience say should be hanged
They ask for his motive but they don't understand
Why they love like they do, like they do
There's a girl, fifteen, with her head in a noose
Because she's damned to live, well she's damned to choose
And the animals walked in twos by twos
Showing love like they do, like they do
There's a girl, fifteen, although she isn't sure
Well how the hell could you want anything more
Beautiful, perfect, immaculate
I'm in love, love with you, love with you
Oh won't you let me finish
You drive me insane
The world will keep on turning
Even if we're not the same
Don't come on to me, come on to me
There's a boy, fifteen, turning into a man
Well tell me one other thing that he can
While you forced a smile through a jealous hand
Showing love like you do, like you do
There's a boy, fifteen, and he's attempted to sue
Cause he's definitely sure that it's true
What kind of man, kind of man are you
Showing love like you do, like you do
Oh won't you let me finish
You drive me insane
The world will keep on turning
Even if we're not the same
Don't come on to me, come on to me
So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind
And don't forget your paracetamol smile
So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind
And don't forget your paracetamol smile
So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind
And don't forget your paracetamol smile
So tell me what's in your mind, so tell me what's in your mind
You're emotionally challenged
Why do you waste you waste your time
The world around you's manic
Do you have no shame
Come on to me, come on to me

True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
If you don't step out into the light, the light
Don't be sad I know you will
Don't give up until
True love will find you in the end

I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
But it's so cold and I don't know where
I brought you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright
I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
Oh oh
And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight
But my hands been broken, one too many times
So I'll use my voice, and I'll be so rude
Words they always win, but I know I'll lose
And I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
Oh oh
(Oh, need a love, now, my heart is thinking of)
I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up oh oh

ZULU - Fade into You
05:07
|
|||
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colours your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

This is a crisis I knew had to come,
Destroying the balance I'd kept.
Doubting, unsettling and turning around,
Wondering what will come next.
Is this the role that you wanted to live?
I was foolish to ask for so much.
Without the protection and infancy's guard,
It all falls apart at first touch.
Watching the reel as it comes to a close,
Brutally taking it's time,
People who change for no reason at all,
It's happening all of the time.
Can I go on with this train of events?
Disturbing and purging my mind,
Back out of my duties, when all's said and done,
I know that I'll lose every time.
Moving along in our God given ways,
Safety is sat by the fire,
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles,
Left with a mark on the door,
Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
Forgive and forget's what they teach,
Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more,
And watch as they drop by the beach.
This is the crisis I knew had to come,
Destroying the balance I'd kept,
Turning around to the next set of lives,
Wondering what will come next.

Metology - Madness
04:55
|

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah
I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you mean
Oh oh oh
And now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
Like some kind of madness
Was taking control
Yeah
And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you need
Mm
And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light)
I have finally realized (Realized)
I need to love
I need to love
Come to me,
Trust in your dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I have known, I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is
Madness

Adam - Level Of Concern

Panic on the brain, world has gone insane
Things are starting to get heavy, mm
I can't help but think I haven't felt this way
Since I asked you to go steady
Wonderin', would you be, my little quarantine?
Or is this the way it ends?
'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Panic on the brain, Michael's gone insane
Julie starts to make me nervous
I don't really care what they would say
I'm asking you to stay
My bunker underneath the surface
Wonderin', would you be, my little quarantine?
Or is this the way it ends?
'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
You could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
I need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
I need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
Need you now
I need you now
'Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
Tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay
You could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay, yeah
In a world, where you could just lie to me
And I'd be okay, we'll be okay
(My level of concern) we're gonna be okay
(Just need you to tell me we're alright, tell me we're okay)
(I need you)

The warmth of your love's like the warmth of the sun
And this will be our year, took a long time to come
Don't let go of my hand, now darkness has gone
This will be our year, took a long time to come
And I won't forget
The way you held me up when I was down
And I won't forget the way you said
"Darling I love you, you gave me faith to go on"
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year, took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile, smile for me, little one
And this will be our year, took a long time to come
You don't have to worry, all your worried days are gone
And this will be our year, took a long time to come
And I won't forget
The way you held me up when I was down
And I won't forget the way you said
"Darling I love you, you gave me faith to go on"
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year, took a long time to come

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Thought of you as my mountaintop
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had, but couldn't keep
I've had, but couldn't keep
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in a mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Skip a life completely
Stuff it in a cup
She said "money is like us in time
It lies, but can't stand up"
Down for you is up
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes
It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Fall, fall, fall
Oh oh oh
Woke up from a bad dream
I was feeling half-naked, running down the high street
Shouting your name, I was begging you not to go
Yesterday's news is yesterday's news
Yesterday's blues is just a shade of colour
Call me naive but we're building for tomorrow
So we can
So we can finish off what we started
Wake up, it's a brand new day
Everybody's gotta sing this storm away
So come along now and lead the way
Oh make way through the waterfalls
'Cause together we will soon get it past it all
No one ever needs to fall
No one ever needs to fall
Fall, fall, fall
No one ever needs to fall
All into position
One final frontier 'til we make it to the station
Heading up to Zion, listening to the radio
Too much to regret, yeah
Still, I'm a monome yeah, not a multi-tasker
Talking revolution, talking revolution
I talk about you all the time
Wake up, it's a brand new day
Everybody's gotta sing this storm away
So come along now, lead the way
(So come along now, lead the way)
Make way through the waterfalls
'Cause together we will soon get it past it all
No one ever needs to fall
No one ever needs to fall, fall
We can lose it all, can lose it all tonight (fall)
We can make it out, can make it out alive (fall)
If we can give it all, can give it all the time (fall)
We can finish off what we started
Wake up, it's a brand new day
Everybody's gotta sing this storm away
So come along now, lead the way
(So come along now, lead the way)
Make way through the waterfalls
'Cause together we will soon get it past it all
No one ever needs to fall
No one ever needs to fall
Every morning it is a brand new day
Every morning it is a brand new day
Every morning it is a brand new day
Every morning it is a brand new day
Every morning it is a brand new day
Every morning it is a brand new day
Every morning it is a brand new day
Every morning it is a brand new day
