01 Blue Skies
I'm half a world away
in some strange day
under clear blue skies
And Take my hand now
and lead me round the bend
under clear blue skies
What am I supposed to do when you're gone?
What am I supposed to do with my time?
And now I feel love
across my way through
under clear blue skies, And take my hand now
and lead me through the streets
under clear blue skies
What am I supposed to do when you're gone?
What am I supposed to do with my time?
Big blue sky
in my eyes

02 Scream
Hey you
have you found?
Hey me
can't you see?
What I've got to give to you
Hey you
are you dreaming
Hey me
aren't you screaming?
It's about time you came around
Honesty goes through the cracks
Apathy lies in smiles
Feels good
sunshine good
Hey you
are you lost?
Hey me
would you give?
It's about time you came around and show me some love
Hey you
are you finished?
Hey me
can't you be?
Anything can go today as long as your beauty stays
Honesty goes through the cracks
Apathy lies in smiles
Feels good
sunshine good
Screaming
Hey you
Hey me
Hey us

03 Stag
Ship shape [competitive]
feels great [heaven]
Head Up [feels wrong]
wise Up [contemplate]
Get in [all the way]
hang loose [stick it in]
Now I want to observe you
now I want to go now,
How can you see with your head up your arse
Feels good [laughing]
So wise up [get it in]
and get laid [fuck]
Head Up [a dream]
quick fix [drugs]
Ship Shape [it seems]
feels great [so they say]
Now I want to observe you
now I want to go now,
How can you see with your head up your arse
It's alright now
it's all clear now
Head up your arse now
How can you see
Your heads up your arse now
How can you see

04 Vinegar Milk
We're green, we're brown
If walls had ears, they wouln't need paint
Come on
It's a small world, they wouldn't like to hoover it up
A face like a cobbler's thumb
The sights you see when you haven't got your gun
Lancashire skies
And you can never polish this turd
you cheeky bugger
Stick with me, son, you'll be wearing diamonds
Me and you should go together
me and you should get this feeling
It's so revealing
Day and night and don't get up tight
now hate and waves of feelings combine
There's a personality crisis within my heart
Me and you should get together
and forget about this Lancashire weather
Have you seen the dust in here
Oh shut that door
Me and you should get this feeling me
and you should go revealing
Day and night and night and day all beside the one who shows me
The one who chose me
Gotta blow, got a blow, got to go
Gotta hide, gotta seek,
Gotta find, gotta know,
Gotta dream, gotta feeling,
Gotta know, gotta run
Me and you should get together
me and you should know this feeling
we've got diamonds
Face like a cobbler's thumb
Can you smell me
Up and down we go together
drinking
oh, we'll have a good time
Me and you should get toether
me and you should know this feeling
[oh for fuck's sake, that was a right fuck up that one]
Day and night and night beside me
feelings of this way control me
Get together

05 Midnight Itch
Watch the sun set
inside your eyes now
from your portal
Be important
And the days late
staring with this fake
And your heart goes
to the sun now
Watch the touch burn
hanging on your word
From a distance
I'm hear to listen
And the movement
it comes in slow
And the days late
Watch the sun set
Watch the sun set
inside your eyes
from your portal
You must be important

07 Dateless Wonder
Literature
fellowship
musical dandys
avant gardes
Hello friend
hollow head
dead and read
a fellowship
Musical dandys - so they say
Fellowship of men - and so they do
Suppress themselves
with literature - and so they know
Cosmic overlord - and then they say
throw their towels down to thee - and then they go
Find themselves in all that hell - and now we do
rotten to the core
Literature
spellbound
musical dandys
I find myself
Musical dandys - so they say
Fellowship of men - and so they do
Suppress themselves in styles - do they do?
Now see my literature - and so they know
Follow your dreams and happiness, I'm sure they'll break you in the end
Got on your knees - on them bended knees
I'm a musical fucking dandy!
with the fellowship of men
Musical Dandys - so they say
In the head fucked up
Zero, zero zero zero zero zero zero zero no!

08 All Day Long
Shaking like a leaf
demons in the pit
Mouth on fire
eyes are cryin'
Cast of thousands
reek with fear
Eyes that cry
of life gone by
If you've not got this
So save yourself
Lost a soul
speaking to the wall
Open up the sky
arms that try
with life that dies
If you've not got this
She cried
If you've not got love
then what've you got
what've you got
If you've not got this
what have you got

09 Orange Light
Leave the house
to engage your mind
Dream through the same dreams
staring at the same faces
Walking on empty ground
wishing through the same streets
Moving in the same shoes
thinking of the same dreams
Where have all the good times gone
Where have all the smiling faces gone
Falling on the same feelings
looking at the same dream
Walking in the same shoes
moving to the wrong point
Wishing for the same dreams
thinking of the same day
Walking to the same stop
calling for the same feeling
Where have all the good times gone
Where have all the smiling faces gone
I get my bus, I pay my fair
I take my seat
and crucify every breathing soul
For where I arrive
is here

Nick Harris (former drummer)
