Contender 04:59
Listen Any spare trees of our history? Spare me the answer Any spare islands with food and drink? Spare me the answer if no is the only way Listen Any spare bread from your bulging pockets? Spare me the answer Any spare cargo of spinal cord? Spare me the answer if no is the only way Listen, listen, open, carry I've got receipts for every day I reach I'll refund the answer I've got receipts for every day I reach I'll refund the answer if no is the only way Listen, listen to contender Paint red scars in wiser love for common ground is boarded up Any spare trees of our history? Spare me the answer Any spare islands with food and drink? Spare me the answer if no is the only way Listen, listen, open, carry Listen, listen to contender Paint red scars in wiser love for common ground is boarded up

We are a balancing act Feel at home on the wire Self taught acrobats Balancing even higher On goes another one Until the job is done We are a balancing act Jumping through a ring of fire Self taught acrobats Balancing even higher On goes another one Until the job is done

Cut Me Open 03:42
You've gotta stop this You've got to stop this hanging around You've gotta keep searching, searching I found a beautiful knife The only thing worth The only thing worth talking about Is taken for granted, granted I found a beautiful knife That cut me open And I love her for that I can feel it drain She cut me open It was painless and fast Thank God that she came I've gotta stop this I've got to stop this hanging around I've gotta prepare for a battle I found a beautiful knife That cut me open And I love her for that I can feel it drain She cut me open It was painless and fast Thank God that she came Try digging in everything I found a beautiful knife She cut me open And I love her for that I can feel it drain She cut me open It was painless and fast Thank God that she came

Her resting eyes are opening for me When I need health she is there for me With solid care blocking vicious blows Now we can both be UFOs A sweetheart ray in a cross mark world That nurtures doom, doom State the sly State the vile State the fear State the pain And we can both be sea and flame All my worries are congealed And only crumbs of passing torture leak Minus the leak of gangrene We link through ways without using words We tweet with birds Stay the same State your claim Poo-taa-weet and always change And we can both be sea and flame Her and me, UFOs All my worries are congealed And an early grave resealed And only crumbs of passing torture leak Minus the leak of gangrene

3 charred hats off to the smoke alarm Keeping my family safe from harm Brother! Our abode is on fire We better throw on water Before we melt like tyres Sister! Our condition is dire Pick a weapon and fire Kill the flames together 3 charred hats off to the smoke alarm Keeping my family safe from harm Mother! Could you cancel Winter And the thought of us dying With our puppy fat frying Father! You nearly lost your daughter Unlike the Summer She wasn't ready to die yet 3 charred hats off to the smoke alarm Keeping my family safe from harm 3 charred hats off to the smoke alarm Brother Sister Mother Father Lover My friends It's easier Together

Blatant Lie 02:57
He is qualified in pure romance He is qualified in song and dance He is capable of taking all your girls away He is qualified in everything He is qualified in creating He is gonna make future planet spin That's a blatant lie That's a blatant lie All I see is real desperation in his eye He is qualified in reading minds He is qualified in throwing knives He is capable of hitting you a mile away He is qualified in weaponry He is qualified in sorcery He is gonna put a fucking spell on me That's a blatant lie That's a blatant lie All I see is real desperation in his eye He is amazing He is gonna make a future planet spin That's a blatant lie That's a blatant lie All I see is real desperation in his eye Every word he says out is a lie

Shoreline 02:21
Accelerating through every single red light Screaming from your birth until your lungs no longer exist I draw my plans in sand I draw my best to understand This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong And according to my friends it won't be long This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong I try retracing my footprints through the think snow They're disappearing so I turn to face the blizzard and go I draw my plans in sand I draw my best to understand This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong And according to my friends it won't be long This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong Tighten up your helmet straps Prepare yourself for the comeback I have never carried a map But I'm always finding my way back This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong And according to my friends it won't be long This is where I wanna be if it all goes wrong

Plunge 03:24
Do you think it will ever clear up? I'm 25 and I haven't seen enough Further from a heaven than when I was a boy Further from an answer than when I was 24 When I plunge deep into the floor I come close to reaching the core Break my fingers and break my laws I come close to reaching the core Do you think it will ever clear up? The fantasies in my head are not enough Further from a heaven than when you were a girl Further from an answer than when you entered this world When I plunge deep into the floor I come close to reaching the core Break my fingers and break my laws I come close to reaching the core

Bring back the Mother that I've needed Nursery rhyme Any love gets caught Walking in a gin trap of itself Tell me if it's you I cannot fathom time Without this present form I'm in love God help us keep in touch arguments push to flush I need you more than munch Keep a healthy love Keep in touch

Dead Hearts 04:20
From pure death Fucking up our streets The deafening beats of dead hearts pulsating They don't need low cloud They don't need a sail They will still collide without fail Walking into dead hearts everyday These dead hearts everyday Idiots in the way This battle's here to stay Blocking out the light The horrible sight Of dead things gyrating If I lived it out What is in my brain I'd be doing time Without bail Walking into dead hearts everyday These dead hearts everyday Idiots in the way This battle's here to stay You're a single blossom left alive Don't die a dead heart

Sorry Son 02:28
You have never helped nobody That is why nobody wants you here Come on man I'll sign a blank cheque Spare me over for another year Sorry son, you are out of time And I could never take a bribe You better find some love instead Money won't help you on your dying bed All you ever bore with is how much money you have made today I could not care less if you were on the streets or flying your own plane Sorry son, you are out of time And I can never change my mind But it was worth a try You better find some love instead Money won't help you on your dying bed

A teenage boy Writing out his will Troops followed tanks And made mincemeat out of him The biggest lie Under the sky A row of guns Shine in the evening Sun In Tiananmen A crying bear With gaping wounds Performing tricks to a crowd of idiots The early screen Shows the obscene Morning will break Down on the blood landscape Like Tiananmen Happening again
14.
The sound of running water drowns the bark The sound of thunder it gets my blood racing Sweet sounds cure they cancel out the dark I can see your smile whichever way I'm facing Nature's giving it Hell It's 6am and all is well Now your heart and bones are up in flames Reality hits home and hits me with the waves But you are here 'cause I can feel you in The thunder and the lightening in my garden Nature's giving it Hell It's 6am and all is well I can feel you near Nature's giving it Hell
15.
I'm singing now your eyes are closed In hope that every single note will travel down your ear canals And influence the way you dream I mean it more than anything I need you more than anything Thoughts lining up in rows I'll take a walk 'cause I cannot close Last orders at the brain Drink up forget the pain Last orders at the brain

about

We used to meet up and rehearse most days throughout the late 90's-early 00's. We'd start the day with a brew, a spliff and a bash on the Nintendo 64. Eventually, after Ally had one shot killed us all on Goldeneye, we would fuck about writing tunes and put down an idea or two onto our Akai DPS12.

These self recorded demos have been hiding in a drawer in Ste's house for decades. As rough and ready as the songs may be, they still have that CECIL charm.

Finally afloat... FATHOM TIME
