Our Hour 03:32
Forever you’re running on adrenalin and so you have to let the whole lot go sometimes need to slow and consider. Go steady everybody’s shotgun ready the consequences never seen ’til they hit you in the head and happen. Our hour we might never get forever we might only see this hour Our hour deep red cloud is blowing the sky falls open, starts snowing everybody go inside. This time so afraid that it’s not mine it carries on a ceaseless line it’s going there even if you’re staying. Our hour window with a view that far a beacon on a distant tower and everywhere is white with snow. That’s better, I love it when all comes down there’s nothing that you should be doing.

More or Less 03:42
How much can a poor soul take? test the patience of a saint struggling here for heaven’s sake faced with all these things to do. Thunder booms and lightning flash hurricane spinning ‘round we can feel that strong wind blow lifting from the ground… — Don’t everybody that’s anybody, anybody’s guess that’s evidently, ask anybody if they ever rest. Don’t anybody know everybody is more or less no body’s body or mind in body can take that stress. — I might reach my breaking point come crashing to the ground the straw that broke the camel’s back the cup that overflowed. No time to think, can’t concentrate, can’t hear a word you say can’t take all this stuff at once, it's getting in the way. — Don’t everybody? that’s anybody, anybody’s guess that’s evidently, ask anybody if they ever rest. Don’t anybody know everybody is more or less? no body’s body or mind in body can take that stress.

Part Human 03:59
And that force that keeps it moving and something it keeps it right and when the word is said and all the world has gone then there’s still something remaining. All those animals seem like magic how they find their way around and when the word is said and all the world has gone then there’s still something remaining. (repeat) Scales start growing and I take that leap woke up human from a reptile sleep enter the water and I start to swim fins start growing as an extra limb.

You hit me with a storm I’m turned into a wreck I’m thrown up on an island don’t know where I’m at. No formula explains the rules to all these games just happened to be in this place and to its laws I’m bound You might want a heaven You might want escape like the flower children on that videotape. — In some ways I’m a baby I just have to trust like the other billions finding as needs must. Pretending that it’s nature that’s the way it goes strangely disregarding that it’s a big construct.

Ceremony 03:50
Ceremony to remember how you got here, glad to meet Ceremony, take a seat its all in colour, it’s all sweet. ----- It’s the house of the broken in a dream by the sea there’s a slow candle burning and a powdering of frost there’s the fading reception there’s a wave coming down. ----- Ceremony to remember how you got here, glad to meet Ceremony, take a seat its all in colour, it’s all sweet faint odour of juniper in a garden off the street a pergola, your retreat where the flowers come to eat. —— It’s the house of the broken in a dream by the sea.

One Way 03:11
Think I've found a gap in time a little hole through which to climb everything changes on the other side so hold your breath and take the ride. I’ll meet you there, we’ll pick a date our only chance so don't be late. We go back to that lovely summer at a time like no other. It all comes back, like it’s here today I can see your face but you’ve gone away in my head never far away. Can’t look back ‘cause its just one way you thought you’d found another way it goes so quick, life in a day.

Exit Sign 04:01
It got to me tonight what’s wrong you say? That look, that stare I’m not sure that you’re there. It starts to show, it goes interminably slow there seems no way no exit sign leading away. — I wish I’d said ‘be careful with my head’ things you say for days go over and over again can’t stop, no pause it plays over and over in my head you say I did, I’m doing it again. — I try to speak but no, I feel too weak I’m sure that change will come it leaves me when its done I feel confined I’ve lost, I’ve lost the exit sign.

Backwoods 03:35
Now’s the time to get away did my best but it’s not working see the wood and see the trees overall and all the detail I just need nowhere to go still not sure just how I’ll get there. I'll be up to greet the day It's a place where birdsong wakes me in the air where skies are grown and there’s not so many people. Walk a path beside the sea curlew calls and rabbits running sunset rainbow moon and stars we all get to see them sometime. I was looking where to be and I’d like to take you with me for a day or evermore I think that it’s time to go now.

Topaz 03:47
You were rediscovered you were marked by stones dust off the remains while digging up your bones. Took my Total Station, made myself a map something surprising to unwrap. They called you Topaz they don't know much ‘cept you was holding a jewel in your clutch. During excavation beneath the aqueduct make again the body build and reconstruct They called you Topaz they don't know much ‘cept you was holding a jewel in your clutch. A woman and her husband take the dogs to walk always at the same time down Park Avenue at dark. They call you Topaz you walk the streets but you don't mean no harm if you ever meet.

Inspector Thomas at the station called him out at midnight thorough investigation with little pens of light we got communication, a message from the boss. They’ve stolen his computer, they made off with his phone packed him in a suitcase and tied it with a stone. A taxi in the lay-by, two figures in the back a suitcase on a car roof, tied up on the rack.

I’ve just made my perfect ending all complete this conceit there you are that missing piece it all makes sense to me now. I suspend my disbelief to climb in underneath theres no hero, no device no unnecessary sacrifice to make this paradise. In love - in love I never saw you happen I think I lost the plot all of it forgotten I'd just taken what I’d got. Everybody likes a story like it to be true none of them compare to the tale of me and you.
