Phone Call 03:19
Ch-ch-Chilling – with gurus. And counting all the heroes between us. You called me, with a secret You held out your hand – I just couldn’t keep it. These phone lines – under currents Are shifting us apart like a fault line They’re tearing us apart CH How much did this phone call cost us With all of our phone call hang ups How much did this phone call cost us We walk softly, for the neighbours In the city we’re afraid to be neighbours So we hold fast – to the old rules And try to understand why we try to be cool These phone lines – under concrete Are shifting us apart like a fault line They’re tearing us apart We left love – strung out on – highway crosses With all of our phone call – hang ups Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Put your phone down, this is urrgent.

Waiting Room 03:54
It’s getting late, love Your work will be waiting So punch the clock, love This time is worth saving. And with a word, love The world came to its knees You surrender – you throw your guns down …And say Wait And sometimes just to spite, you say Don’t wait for me. Just go ahead, now. Don’t look back Don’t wait for me It’s getting late, love Ya - morning has broken. You fkd my week up Ya, maybe I’m broken too - ya. And with a word - love The world came to its knees You surrender – you hold your arms up …And say Wait And sometimes just to spite, you say Don’t wait for me. Just go ahead, now. Don’t look back Don’t wait for me (x2) It’s getting late, love The children have woken They pull their teeth out Ya, maybe I’m smiling too, ya And with a word – love The world came to its knees You surrender – you hold your heart up …And say Wait

Little Lever 03:36
What do you hold on to Here take that weight of your shoulders Shed the artefacts that make you feel older It’s not a fact – it’s just a device A Little Lever just to make you think twice. Is it about time – or have you had enough Carrying weight til your fingers get rough Another box of photographs – Captured moments you’d rather forget Hold on tight You can’t save it for the next life But you try I’m a song you can’t remember You’re a song I can’t forget. I’m a part, and you’re together You’re a song I can’t forget What do you hold on to with your fingers crossed Your lucky dice, your mother’s cross Your sticks and stones, your empty shells The shampoo bottles that you steal from hotels. I need a polygraph – to take your advice I need a love that’ll never think twice Another box of forgotten maps Paper routes that you’ll never get back Hold on tight You can’t save it for the next life But you try I’m a song you can’t remember You’re a song I can’t forget. I’m a part, and you’re together You’re a song I can’t forget

Tellers 03:26
Don’t tell the tellers, I been running with the runners. Don’t tell the tellers, I been running with the runners Circling the circles, zeroes in on nothing Don’t tell the tellers – they don’t believe in nothings! So that I don’t need to be everything I say So that I don’t need to believe in a better day. Now my heart’s a knife before it’s a gun And you say you’re not the only one C’mon, I’m only having some fun. Don’t lie with liars, they just keep you up for hours Don’t lie with liars, they just keep you up for hours. Talking all your ears off, whispering sweet nothings. Don’t lie with liars – they don’t believe in nothing! So that I don’t need to be anything I say. So that I don’t need to believe in a better way. And everything you say - Your words get in the way (Oh, oh-oh) And everything you say, again (Oh, oh-oh)
