‘With Trousers On’ Lyrics

The sun will not show us its face
Although its light creeps to the sky its warmth wont reach its smile’s teeth
And its absense will darken what its light is trying to reach

I know in my bones tomorrow is come
That it will crawl over today, though we’re keeping it at bay
It lurks behind a blink, a laugh, a gap, a wrong word or remark

It will be here soon, we cannot last
But hold it off for another slice, another taste, another bite
Say its ok and stay a while, a little longer to bide the time
Cos left alone unease awaites, its licked its lips, will have a taste of me

The sneaky dawn has caught me with trousers on
Caught with trousers on……..

Still sleeping in last night’s skin
Can’t end if it never begins
In last night’s skin

The sneaky dawn has caught me with trousers on
Caught with trousers on……..

Close your eyes and rest your head
Know that you have been tricked again
Oh please close down now mind of mine
I don’t want to be left here all alone

Still sleeping in last night’s skin
In last night’s skin

The sneaky dawn has caught me with trousers on
Caught with trousers on…………

‘The Alchemist’ Lyrics

Wisdom, purity
I search for thee

Chaos be gone
Guide me to the stone

Transform, evolve
Enlighten my soul

Matter lies before the eyes of all
Has as many names as there are things in this world
And always changes

You cannot harm me
Transformation will release me

Matter lies before the eyes of all
Has as many names as there are things in this world
And I will change

‘Clocks’ Lyrics

The cycles circle on
Consume, digest, excrete, rest
And the clocks, they go ticking on

But it’s not enough
Not meaning enough
And the clocks, they go ticking on

What can we do now that procreation isn’t needed?
Survival is now about not breeding
Who will I live for, what will I be?
When the music is over what is the meaning for me?
Where are you going, what will you be?
Maybe you can be the anwer, the reason, the meaning of this thing for me

‘Moving On’ Lyrics

(Music by Leah Hinton, Nick Baldwin and Jordan Tredray, lyrics by Leah Hinton 2010)

If I thought that prayers went anywhere other than the insides of my head
I would pray that I will see you all again,
That memory will not leave you nameless
That the end of this island will not be the end of your faces
And I pray that I will see you all again
Cos I’m moving on

Migrants in time and space, we drift between start and end place
You are all such delicately temporal things
And I’m moving on
