Move 03:42
How can I stay still When I've just gotta move? How can you just sit there Without a worry or a care All relaxed and chill When I just can't sit still? I've just got to move Remember that time in the park? It was cold, and it was dark You thought there was something there behind you A chill ran down your spine It's like that all the time That's why I've got to move I've just got to move And if you think that I approve I don't I've just got to move And if you think that we're about to dance I'm not I've just got to move

Knock knock Mister Immigration man Please let me in I've got a healthy constitution And my heart is free of sin Mostly cos I don't believe In that kind of thing But I've heard that you are open-minded Excuse me Mister Immigration man Please let stay I've paid all of my taxes I work as much as play And I've got a 5-year-plan I wrote it up all neat All my docs are notarised And in French too, gratuite Help me Mr Immigration man Please let me start again I'll give you all of my money Why can't we just be friends? Why must you interrogate me? Ask me about my life I don't even really know My mother's sister's doctor's wife

Follow your dreams I've had a few Stick to what you know And you'll get there too Learn from the best They will show you how From little things, little by little They'll grow now Don't worry about it Everything will work out in the end One day at time Put your head down If you see it, it will come If you could only see it from here So don't worry about it Everything will work out in the end I'm, I'm saving I'm saving myself Can you see the light Shining at the end of tunnel? That's your saviour, that's your redemption No, not long to go now So don't worry about it Everything will work out in the end I'm, I'm saving I'm saving myself I'm, I'm saving A bullet for retirement

Take it away Send me off into the fog I know I did But that was before Close your mouth Pull that thread inside It made a hole And I quite liked that sweater And you did it twice The ripple effect And I was happy In the calm I know you I kept it myself So take it away No good comes from mis-speak Do you feel better, will you sleep? Do you feel lighter, now this burden we keep for you? Take these words and take these stones Leave our good still hearts alone Take the excuses, the little lies you love to tell yourself at night Give us peace and let us live I have not one single shit to give Ripple effect Take these words and take these stones Leave our good still hearts alone Take the excuses, the little lies you tell yourself to sleep at night Give us peace and let us live I have not one single shit to give Take your words and take your stones And leave our good sweethearts alone Take the excuses, those little lies you love to tell yourself at night Give us peace and let us live I have not one single shit to give

Daisy 03:02
Dark night, hot day I walk your way Down streets, up paths Won't stop, can't start To think, to dream what might be seen We'd fight, you'd say Doesn't matter anyway I crushed the daisy in my hand It's not gift I thought it was I know it's wrong To sing your song But it's stuck for years Brought up old fears I'm great at this Don't try, resist Walk your arse home You're not alone I picked the daisy up from someone else's garden And threw it down the drain

Still 03:06
You go walking light through the forest The quiet resting snow is there for now Waiting white to be disrupted And you drift past it without a second glance Waiting for the world to be still Cos you've been running through every dream you've ever had Just to turn back round and see Nobody's chasing you They're still You're tethered to the hitch, like silver pieces They're wrapped around his careful little fingers Waiting for the other shoe to drop Double-back and take off home to Grandma's house Cape blowing in the breeze Waiting for her to leave it all to you Cos you've been running through every dream you've ever had Just to turn back round and see Nobody's chasing you They're still

I've got a pocketful of change to feed the meter But not enough to change my name And if you've got a hope in hell to change me What hope I have to stay the same I've had years of practice at this thing I've aced my thesis, rode the gown And if you've got a hope in hell to change me You'll have to set fire to this town It's hard to feel full when you're empty It's hard to feel alive when you're dead It's hard to feed the soul of an animal Who's sooner bleeding than bled Well I'm the warrior who went to fight without her teeth Who's to say I won't find a musket there And if we've got a hope in hell to change me We'd better split this difference fair It's hard to feel full when you're empty It's hard to feel alive when you're dead It's hard to feed the soul of an animal Who's sooner bleeding than bled I'm better when I'm sleeping More focused than awake Take to new tasks with the reckless abandon Of someone with better things to do You might be a better thing to do It's hard to feel full when you're empty It's hard to feel alive when you're dead It's hard to feed the soul of an animal Who's sooner bleeding than bled
