Signal Transmission

That memory imprint on me
I’m there waiting for you to get through
You’re thinking too how do you do
That message you’re seeing
I’m losing you, can you hear me?
The signal fading
Oh here we go
It’s coming through
I’m reaching you
From here to there, from there to here
To where we’re going
I’m losing you can you hear me
The signal fading can you hear me?
I’m still waiting for you to get through
I’m losing you can you hear me?
The signal fading

Ursula Midnight
04:04
|
|||
The track in the mud I could go on
But would I then get in too deep
Into the dark enter the blindness
Pass through the flickering screen
Another movement
Detect another motion
But I can hardly make out what it is
Did you leave a party
Disguised and let loose?
Tumbling down the way
Reeling down the road
Stumbling around in a fancy dress
Looking wild and a mess
Starters of time enders of time
Bringers of life
Here’s your first breath
And here’s your last
Lovers of the invisible born in a vacuum
Made out of this and made out of that
Set a spark to set you alight
I can hardly make out what it is
Starters of time enders of time
Bringers of life
Here’s your first breath
And here’s your last
Ursula Midnight dressed like a bird
Craning in your high shoes
Scaffolding holds you up
Scraping the sky
Lovers of the invisible born in a vacuum
Made out of this and made out of that
Ursula Midnight dressed like a bird
Craning in your high shoes
The field is empty
And the caravan gone
Barely a trace or a sign
There’s an owl on a branch
A cat in the pathway
Overgrown nettle and bramble
Ursula Midnight dressed like a bird
Craning in your high shoes
Dressed like a bird scraping the sky
Starters of time enders of time
Bringers of life
Ursula Midnight
Right about now right about now

Vulture Wake
03:48
|
|||
The scent on the air is
Leading them there
Whether a wound or weakness it shows
Their eyes are alight
With a target in sight
Soon turn you over then drain you out
Throw you a morcel and see if you bite
Now I know how that is done
It all leads them to this one
No accounting for any of them
Nothing over when they’ve done
It’s getting concentrated
And they’re homing in
Trace what hungry noses can
Against the odds we only get to hope
We get the detail but you get the scope
You’ve been wasted and too underdone
Never tasted what comes to some
Now I know how that is done
It all leads them to this one
No accounting for any of them
Nothing over when they’ve done
They’re getting smarter
While simultaneously dumb
Draw all the income
The outcome is down to them
Now I know how that is done
It all leads them to this one
No accounting for any of them
Nothing over when they’ve done

Singing the Blue Song
04:01
|
|||
Those peaks I might not climb
For all the fear and doubt
A lot of that about
Things I’ll never get right
Stupid things I did
The words I never said
Times I said too much
Times I said too much
Things that matter most
All that love and loss in a blue song
Holding you so close
Singing the blue song
Try as I might to live in the good things
Some things I’ll never put right
Holding you so close
Singing the blue song
I might never…
I might never…
On this vacant night
Lost and out of sight
Looking for a way to move on
And I see its all changed
I can’t let go
lalalalalalala…
On this vacant night
Wishing it was right
All that’s out of reach
All that’s out of reach
I might never…
I might never…

You Think You
03:55
|

I couldn’t talk or say or breathe a word
I was bound up while I was swimming
And the tide it pushed the other way
Didn’t feel like I was winning
And I hope to reach the other side
Without anything going missing
You think that I would know by now
Let’s go back to the beginning
How far back do you want to go
Everything separates and goes its way
Splits into distinctive patterns
I crawled up onto the land
And said to you then
Well I think is this where we’re living
But I have to mull it over now
Take the circumstances given
You think that I would know by now
On a rope between the buildings
Try to balance as I go
And could any of this be happening
If you’re not there to know
You think that I would know by now

Pain Free
04:06
|

Pain free that’s something
Was all that worry for nothing?
Desensitized and paralysed
Still rolling down the hill
Thought you’d get there with nobody
Nobody pinning you down
Thought that you could do what you will
A promise got you on a hook
And there’s somebody reeling you in
Pain Free no problem
Did we hit rock bottom?
Pain Free what’s happening?
What if it all just went away?
They don’t really look so happy to me
No matter what they’re telling
Got to get realistic now
Got to get out and turn it around
Always chasing something
Don’t know where
Somehow never get to see it there
Desensitized and paralysed
Still rolling down the hill
Not what you would have imagined then
You didn’t see this coming
You’re not some fortune teller
Nobody knows how the story ends
Pain Free no problem
Did we hit rock bottom?
Pain Free what’s happening?
What if it all just went away?
Desensitized and paralysed
Still rolling down the hill
Not what you would have imagined then
Pain Free no problem
Did we hit rock bottom?
Pain Free what’s happening?
What if it all just went away?

Concord
03:45
|
|||
I wouldn’t be surprised
If it all turned out perfect in the end
You made all the arrangements
There’s no more you can do now
Venus and the moon above your head
In the silver before the sunset
The warm air brushes past
A seabird in the sky
And here we are packing up
It’s here today
Resting on your shoulders
It goes away but it all makes you
In your crumpled way
Now the casing’s faded
And the shine has gone
Your coat is corroded
Tarnished and torn at the hem
In a room lined with mirrors
No longer know which is which
The tangible things
Don’t add up to anything much
You’ve been through so much
To get here
It’s here today
Resting on your shoulders
It goes away but it all makes you
I wouldn’t be surprised
If it all turns out perfect in the end
You did all you could
You did all you could at the time
You’ve been through so much
To get here
It’s getting light so late
It’s dark before you leave and go home
An end to the winter
And the year it starts up again
It’s here today
Resting on your shoulders
It goes away but it all makes you

All from the Sun
03:36
|
|||
I’m shivering in the dark and cold
And might never see anything new
Living under a blanket of cloud
But that glowing globe breaks through
All from the sun it’s our number one
All from the sun give it to everyone
It’s the centre we all move around
But don’t look it in the face
Without that shining starry light
Well there wouldn’t be this place
All from the sun it’s our number one
All from the sun give it to everyone
Perhaps I’m just a cartoon sun
Sitting lonely out in space
But hey I’m feeling brighter now
When there’s some hope for this place
All from the sun it’s our number one
All from the sun give it to everyone

Rainfall
03:34

Rain
When the clouds cry
doh-doh-la doo-doo-lya dee-dee-lya
When water falls I go down the well
When the earth is dry and the clouds cry
Soon you’ll grow
Your bright head out of the snow
When the water falls into pools and pails
I watch the rain
The seeds wake up
I watch the rain
I was upside down
I’ve been up and down
Soon you’ll grow
Your bright head out of the snow
And decorate the trees
With flowers and leaves
I’ve been up and down
I’ve been up and down
I watch the rain
The waterways and the waterfalls
The bending light the slower light
I was going backwards
I was upside down
I was talking nonsense
I’ve been up and down
Beads on the glass bending light
I was going backwards
I watch the rain
I’ve been up and down
I’ve been up and down

Path to the Dunes
05:13
|
|||
The houses recede into the distance
As we walk across the bridges
These vivid things we remember
All along we lived it together
As if there was no other story
Took a winding path to get here
Mineral spring drink the water
Taking in the fresh air blowing
Standing on the hillside thyme
Scented brine when I breathe in
And this view is so amazing
Makes me feel both big and small
Get a sense of perspective
Being one atom in it all
Whenever there’s a
Ever closer feel it in the
Ever got a the feeling of the
Ever ever whenever there’s a
Only see from where I’m standing
Nowhere else that I can go
Mineral spring drink the water
Taking in the fresh air blowing
Standing on the hillside thyme
Scented brine when I breathe in
One more time in the water
Seep away nothing better
Now you feel light as a pappus
Drifting towards each other
Only see from where I’m standing
Nowhere else that I can go
The feeling of the
Ever closer feel it in the
Ever got a the feeling of the
Ever ever whenever there’s a
Ever closer feel it in the
Ever got a the feeling of the
Ever ever
Whenever there’s a
Ever closer feel it in the

The Good Part
03:54
|
|||
We all fall down
Find yourself crawling along the ground
When you’ve been down there
And its too dark to see
You’ll want to be back up in the air
Here comes the good part
Welcome the good heart
It’ll be so good for you
It would be so good
Who’ll throw you a lifebuoy
When you’re ready to drown?
Who’ll hold onto you
When you can’t look down?
So few winners
And they’re not exactly handing it around
Try to glue all the pieces that you found
Here comes the good part
Welcome the good heart
It’ll be so good for you
It would be so good
Dont know where you are
Sometime lost your way
When you wake up
And you dread the day
It feels like you’re lost in a maze
Here comes the good part
Welcome the good heart
It’ll be so good for you
It would be so good
Dont know where you are
Sometime lost your way
Here comes the good part
Welcome the good heart
It’ll be so good for you
It would be so good
