A Fantastic Display

A fantastic display
The best we’ve ever seen
Take it away!
And Wesley stalks the corridors
Looking sweet, feeling finer
There is none finer!
And the feeling is getting stronger
More divine, all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time
Only a shadow!
And the outfit continues
On the floor
Just a little spill
Just a little spill
Count to ten backwards for me would you
Would you count to ten backwards for me would you?
Would you count to ten backwards for me would you,
Would you count to ten?
(The best we’ve ever seen)
The best we’ve ever seen
The grand conjunction
An accident, an accident waiting to happen
The feeling’s getting stronger
More divine. We’re approaching the end now,
And we’re approaching the end.

Irrepressible
03:34
|
|||
Irrepressible, unavoidable
Embarrassment
You’re seated at the table
What did you bring?
There’s a seat at the table
What did you bring?
Irrepressible, unavoidable
Irrepressible, attainable

On A String
01:53
|
|||
It’s moving around
On a string
A million times a million descriptive opportunities
Paraphernalia upon
Paraphernalia upon
Paraphernalia:
Quick, let’s get started.
Looming, looming,
Let’s get started,
Quick let’s get started
On a string.
Committed to the moment
The obvious
What you can get away with
You can get away with
Repetition

George Blake passed away sometime yesterday
How little do you have to do?
Outside the capital
George Blake passed away
He left another life behind
George Blake passed away yesterday

Give Em The Lot

Give em the lot
No holds barred
That was entertaining!
Give em the lot
No holds barred
And none taken
That was entertaining!
Where’s the frequency?
No idea what I am doing here
Just give em the lot
Just give em the lot
No way of ever knowing
No time again
The cracks are showing
The cracks are showing
So give em the lot
No conscience
Uncertainty
False idols
Give em the lot
Fallen down to the ground
What are you gonna come up with now?
There’s no story left
There’s no story left
Give em the lot
There’s no story left
Give em the lot

Are you well travelled?
Not anymore
And I can’t stand it.
It was my time, not yours
And I can’t stand it
I can’t stand it.
Through the valleys and to the mountaintops
Not anymore
And I can’t stand it
I can’t stand it
Were you excited when you took off?
Three months, three years,
That’s what I’m thinking of
And I can’t stand it!
And make the most of opportunity
I can’t stand it
Are you well travelled?
Not anymore.

Restless Leg Syndrome
05:32
|
|||
Everything was set in stone
Pre ordained
Before you came
Before you even arrived there was a delightful slice of paradise
Bearing your name
You are the subtraction
And you are the sum
I am the crushed cheekbone
Restless leg syndrome
Before you came on the scene
There was everything you’ve ever been
Coming undone
All this will happen again
We are counting on it
This will take place at some point in the future
I am the ladder, I am the rung
I am subtraction
And I am the sum

21 Degrees
04:00
|

Professionally speaking
We set the thermostat to 21 degrees
The colour of the leaves
And one of my plants is dying
The other is thriving
And one of your directions forward
Stalled
Professionally speaking
The thermostat is set to 21 degrees
And that’s an acute angle
Yeah that’s a cute angle
Yeah that’s a cute angle,
21 degrees
Yeah that’s a cute angle
21 degrees
You knew the slip was showing!
But still you kept going.
You knew the tyres were shredded
Professionally speaking
21 degrees
You knew
And that’s a cute angle
And that’s a cute angle

Patience please!
Was he pushed? And did you get a notification?
(Oooooh, I’m hoarding!)
We lost the keys, it was a jump
A jump and a skip
Instant gratification
(Oooooh, I’m hoarding)
I’m just working for the weekdays
I’m just trying to push that time away
I’m just falling from the window
There’s a performative aspect to everything you know
Just keep pushing
Just keep pushing
Just keep pushing, pushing
Pushing
And I’m a pin cushion
Stick a fork in me
I’m done
(Oooooh I’m hoarding)
Satisfaction guaranteed
No wrong answers
When you’re putting it away as much as I do
As much as I do
Patience please!
(increased capacity)
Were you pushed?
And did you get the notification?
We lost the keys
(ooooh I’m hoarding)
But we found a way to instant
Instant
Instant gratification
And I’m just working for the weekdays
I’m just working for the weekdays
Hoarding

High Resolution
06:08
|

High resolution, low definition
You say you want a peaceful
A peaceful transition
And an end to prohibition
There’s a high probability
Of mutually assured destruction
Corruption
And here we go, anon
Anon anon anon
And here we go, anon
Anon anon anon
You’ve reached your final form
Ascended to that final level
Final level
Low resolution, high definition
And you say you want an end
We’ll have to work together
To reach a satisfactory arrangement
Assortment
And here we go, anon
Anon anon anon
And here we go, anon
Anon anon anon
Low definition, high resolution
There’s an equal chance
We’ll find the solution
But it won’t be a solution
High resolution, low definition
You say you want a peaceful transition
You say you want a full and frank admission
You say you can’t live without it
High resolution, low definition
And here we go anon
And on and on and on
Plugging in, plugging out
Here we go anon
A failure of acknowledgement
Let’s try something else.
