Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Murder squad, badges covered Some covert operation – Analysing satellite imagery Honing in on your target Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Bad guys do what guys do best The same behaviour let to run Following the evidence Planting it so it makes sense Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Seen you in that TV show Seen you open the local mall Seen you in that video Man, you really nailed that guy Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Nothing real. Staged scenes. Deep fakes manipulate. Law enforcement entertainment Nothing real except the dead. Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car Stunt Car

Lily knows And Tammy shows And Ellie Goes Away Clancy has the winning card And turns to her to say One summer evening everything in place The girls from across the way came to our place Lily knows And Tammy shows And Ellie Goes Away Clancy has the winning card And turns to her to say Someone put the music on and someone had the wine Someone sat next to me and our hands entwined Lily knows And Tammy shows And Ellie Goes Away Clancy has the winning card And turns to her to say And every summer after that, we would go away A cottage in the countryside for a few days Lily knows And Tammy shows And Ellie Goes Away Clancy has the winning card And turns to her to say All of that will come to pass, leaving just these two A man with a secret love, a woman passing through Lily knows And Tammy shows And Ellie Goes Away Clancy has the winning card And turns to her to say Years of mixed meanings of love found and lost I once saw the value but never knew the cost Lily knows And Tammy shows And Ellie Goes Away Clancy has the winning card And turns to her to say

The 1980s 03:26

Monks in silver cassocks are dancing to Madonna There’s a light show that you can see from Space The fireworks from the balcony spell out Capricorn Even the drugs we took were designed by the Face Boys meet girls who are boys again The sailors off to war wave from across the bay They say I was there at TV Party Debbie Harry tried on my fedora It’s going to be such a fabulous decade It’s going to be such a fabulous decade Thatcher’s sent millions on the dole queue This is not the time for putting on the slap Darks swathes of invisible infection Even the brightest soul can’t cope with this rejection I walked with the rest against Clause 28 Spent the evening dancing at the Hacienda Keith Haring Klaus Nomi are gone But the drugs and the music play on By the way I love you By the way I love you It’s going to be such a fabulous decade It’s going to be such a fabulous decade By the way I love you By the way I love you

Love is on its Way 03:24

Across the mighty sea Blown like a bouy On the breaking waves Smashed like a toy Walk from the shelter Talk to the air Dance in the raindrops Set off for the fair Love is on its way Love is on its way It might not seem that now But Love is on its way Love is on its way Love is on its way It might not seem that now But Love is on its way Hunker down for winter Shelter from the storm Dust off your leather boots And keep your body warm Look out the window See the harbour light Stay up to see the stars in the night Love is on its way Love is on its way It might not seem that now But Love is on its way Love is on its way Love is on its way It might not seem that now But Love is on its way Somewhere there’s freedom And somewhere are walls And somewhere’s a wrecking ball That just needs to be called Heart’s demolition See what was once there Remove the decoration Find the walls are bare Love is on its way Love is on its way It might not seem that now But Love is on its way Love is on its way Love is on its way It might not seem that now But Love is on its way

One Kiss 03:50

Don’t judge a book by its cover I always meant to be More than your weekend lover That’s clear you see Don’t judge a game by possession Don’t look back When at the front of the procession Exactly that Don’t judge a meme by its maker Its not a bad thing To unmask me as a faker Lying about everything Don’t judge a mask by its wearer Sometimes its easier To not be a carer Unless there’s a reason Sometimes its wet Sometimes the rainy season Sky ways High ways Long last Go fast Try this One kiss Be kind Top line Small print Sharp mint Dig deep Light sleep Hard times Thought crimes Last night Felt right Rewind Be kind Feels neat My treat Who’d miss One Kiss One Kiss One Kiss Who’d miss One Kiss One Kiss One Kiss Who’d miss One Kiss One Kiss One Kiss

Barry Has Reasons 03:27
lyrics

Barry reached fifty Never thought that Time would Catch up like that The ledger of life Doesn’t lie Time you’ve left Before you die Barry wakes up In the middle of the night Heart is pumping A terrible fright Since Anne left him There’s no-one there To hear his cries To tell he’s scared If you never had a dream Would you soon lose all hope? If you knew how the years would go Would you drown or grab a rope? If you never had a dream Would you soon lose all hope? If you knew how the years might go Would you drown or grab a rope? Thinking all about His kids Adds up to nothing The good he did He’s just a name On a Tesco Card He never tried Now he tries too hard Barry seeks something In his life There must be more Than the constant fight Seems you blink And its gone too fast Cleaning the gutter Of the leaves of your past If you never had a dream Would you soon lose all hope? If you knew how the years would go Would you drown or grab a rope? If you never had a dream Would you soon lose all hope? If you knew how the years would go Would you drown or grab a rope? Reasons There are reasons Reasons There are reasons Reasons There are reasons Reasons There are reasons Barry remembers Fishing nights Waiting to catch A simple bite Barry recalls The sun coming up The paper in flames The crack in the cup Reasons There are reasons

Defeated 04:37
lyrics

Caught up on the roadside Dragging our possessions What starts as a single man Becomes a procession Messages were out of date Signal intermittent No-one knows the truth no more When writing is forbidden By the way you laughed with me I knew you were not stable It didn’t stop me dance with you On my burning tables The sand was piled in pyramids And though we would collide The sound of the waves Doesn’t stop the tides After the war is over, Sad, lost, defeated Its in the following days and months Was when you were beaten Wear a crooked smile again, And cry in the shadows Those who survive the ocean deep Still drown in shallows

Nowhereland 03:47
lyrics

Nowhere you have heard of And no-one you have known A place you can’t conceive of A place you’d never go I’ve been there preparing I know I’m not alone The mirror it is porous The photo just for show I saw you at the station I saw you in the line Read the number on your arm Saw fear in your eyes Be ready for the moment When their guard is down Run to the river To surely swim or drown I know I’m none to trust in And not the one you’d choose I’ve let down everyone I’ve ever loved And that’s my only truth I once was a sceptic And now I’ve seen the light Hovering over your shoulder In the darkness of the night It’s nowhere you’ve believed in (Nowhereland) Nowhere you’d have seen In a corner of your memory (Nowhereland) A place you slip between I’m no-one you have heard of (Nowhereland) And nowhere you have known A place you can’t conceive of (Nowhereland) A place you’d never go
