Billboards 02:52
Tracing absence Trace it back to him To her To you Met with a rumour at a party You’re back again and going soon There you go again In the blue of the night Out of sight Out of mind But my mind’s making grand gestures I guess this is it now I live in a strange town now I guess this is it now I live in a strange town now I went to the house of the rising sun Perfect people Perfect love Perfect fun But I couldn’t help but think about this costume for a simple man Dressed in colourful clothing Chain smoking I see it all now You’re sorry I feel this way Some kinda power play I didn’t ask to be muted I didn’t speak to be erased I guess I’ll see you on the billboards I guess I’ll see you on the TV I guess I’ll see you on the billboards I guess I’ll see you on the TV I guess I’ll see you on the billboards I guess I’ll see you I guess this is it now I live in strange town now

Everyman 02:16
You’ve become my everyman I look for you in every man You’ve become my everyman I look for you in every man I thought I saw you He’s missing out on autumn down in San Francisco Scott McKenzie on repeat It scored the board at Heathrow My sister she’s in Edinburgh New life New plan New man In this grief tainted mess We radiate strength Absent mind Absent friends are they watching? Ha ha aaah You’ve become my everyman I look for you in every man You’ve become my everyman I look for you in every man I thought I saw you Devoted to the orchestra and new romances He went away Not far he’d say Come over it’s an easy plane But Luxembourg have closed their borders He’s missing out on day to day In this grief In this mess We radiate strength Absent mind Absent friends are they watching? Ha ha aaah You’ve become my everyman I look for you in every man You’ve become my everyman I look for you in every man I thought I saw you Outside Nearby (x2) Oh no I thought I saw you Outside Nearby Oh no I thought I saw you (x4)

Loophole 03:08
Little do they know of Loophole liberation In silent limbo I should feel bad I don’t feel bad Obliged to walk the line Attempting conversation He’s looking down He’s hard to read Embarrassed by my fumbling Perhaps he doesn’t mind it Perhaps he’s scared to delve too deep in case he can’t resurface And he’s an older brother And I’ve never felt younger Burning with desire Ferociously obsessive The thrill of what’s not meant to be I act upon my fantasy I should feel bad I don’t feel bad Perhaps he doesn’t mind it Perhaps he’s scared to delve too deep in case he can’t resurface And he’s an older brother And I’ve never felt younger An affair manifested Thriving in freedom Holding the power Living off attraction He asked for my kiss and it was sweetly intended Commanding the stage In the morning he’s knitting He said “I won’t stop knitting this scarf until your return” I regret my resisting Handy craft is the truest form of rock and roll It’s taken its toll This rock and roll It’s taken its toll At Loophole Little do they know

Babies 03:51
You’re in season so I’ll let you grow I’m wholeheartedly myself With you I’m someone else I’m still thinking of our babies Our babies Our babies I’m still thinking of our babies Our babies Our babies In pursuit of love I look up wide with child’s eyes A feline like tongue on your cheek on your lips I’m regurgitating our simple pleasures Pleading modestly without words Save your glorious skin for mine Your hands for mine Your good mornings and goodbyes We are only lovers now You’re in season so I’ll let you grow From committed conjoinment we detangle in soil This new dawn is yet to follow through I’m over you I’m under you And I’m still thinking of our babies Our babies Our babies This new dawn is yet to follow through I’m over you I’m under you And I’m still thinking of our babies Our babies Our babies You’re in season so I’ll let you grow
