Let's turn up, hold your words, keep your mouth, present up, thank them all, thank yourself, do a speech, crawl around, kiss their feet, lick your lips, comment on their widening hips It's a pity party, with lots of people I don;t want to see, It's a pity party Smile, smile, smile, smile, keep on smiling Teeth are dry, words bite my tongue How do I find the words to say I feel quite uncomfortable here? I don't quite know how to behave... and is no one else here thinking that this whole thing is a riotous mistake? I don't know how to stand and say, I don't know how to stand and say Trying to pretend you don't think what you just said you did I think I'll just go home, I think I'll just go home It's a pity party, with lots of people I don;t want to see, It's a pity party Smile, smile, smile, smile, keep on smiling Teeth are dry, words bite my tongue

Dear Box 04:45
You're pulling me in, I hope no one can see my right now, captivated by your glow I grew up with you, then I broke free for a while, got no intelligence to show. NO NO. Why not turn it on? No I'll find something else to do, I wonder what's on 1? 1 or maybe 2 Reel me in, keep me interested, together we can murder the hours, who needs the hours? I have plenty for chores, now take me away O plastic soul Why not turn it on? No I'll find something else to do, I wonder what's on 1? 1 or maybe 2 Piece by piece we procrastinate as we look eye to screen of mine, flowering through, through the silent room is the noise to wash my mind, first of all I see D.I.Y. And I move on to a couple selling jewels, I sit and watch while the days go by and numbly forget my blues, now I know I can't turn away I get anger at the advert breaks, this pixel minder, who tells me stories, of people far away from me Don't turn away, I cannot look Please don't fail me electricity, I won't know what to do Why not turn it on? No I'll find something else to do, I wonder what's on 1? 1 or maybe 2

Flux 04:55
Look at the droplets mad on the window I watch from the dry side, their chaotic dance The answer crawled up coyly somewhere dark and lined with consequences I don't think that I would dare Sometimes it makes me think about things when I can see a long way or when I'm in a car at midnight or when I see red cloth It's funny how all the dots join to lots of different people I don't think that I would dare Don't want it to creep into you, pulsing and billowing forward Snowballing on to where it came from, it turns into something new It's funny how all the dots join to lots of different people I don't think that I would dare

Furke 05:00
Come for a stroll with me, foot out. Things you need to speak, you never got the chance to. You went too soon. Riddled in the mind with the thought for the one slipping away. I know. You needed her. No thought in this world that this fate was also for you. Could you have mended anyway my friend? I don't think that you could. If you'd have stayed you would have walked in circles, seen yourself in the mirror, seen them in your dreams, you would have drunk too much, you would have fallen in every hole. You wouldn't be there anyway, you breathe but you can't feel the clock ticking You deserve to be here, if only pain can be erased Could you have mended anyway? Could you have mended anyway my friend?

Kaleidoscope 04:49
Blink blink blink blink blink blink and the lights go out Stop blinking now Now it is just me and the cover and a head full of stew Eyes shut stiff hands Go to sleep Hello I was wondering if you could help me out, I need a little favour There is a little man he lives in the sewer and he's fishing I can turn the light on and fracture this Shake hands with these pirates, I don't want to know, they will just steal my jewellery Trick me down this path, lay down these poppy seeds, but I am not fooled I will not follow I can turn the light on and fracture this Pieces, boxed up pieces, I'll separate the house, I'll turn up every room I'll paint the wall with all the colours and watch the bluebells move Need to do this, need to do that Go to sleep I can turn the light on and fracture this The coils move around my head
