1.What Did For The Dinosaurs
作詞:Nick Saloman
4 o'clock this morning
I was woken from a dream
In which my bones were reassembled
In a minor league museum
And blaze children with their worksheets
Had to find out who I was back then
When I used to walk the earth
Churning out my finely crafted songs
And sloping to the bathroom
Through the darkness of the landing
I sat down to have a piss
'Cause it was easier than standing
And imagined my exhibit being
Crated up for storage in an
Airtight basement room
Archived where it probably belongs
I look at you and fail to understand
Just what it is that gives you wealth and fame
When so many people seem to have exactly what you've got
But somehow it never quite works out the same
Is it luck? Is it friends?
Or is it something more obvious that I can't see?
One thing I'm really certain about
It isn't aimed at guys like me
Is it only me that thinks you're an obnoxious poser?
Or does everyone else think so too?
Strutting around like you're gods gift to the world
While you disciples form a disorderly queue
Well, let me play devils advocate for a moment
And publicly state that you are scum
I can tell from the howls of disapproval
That I'm in a minority of one, yeah
And now I'm through with avuncular diplomacy
I've stopped saying 'I think I need to hear some more'
'Cause this stuff is rubbish, I can't stand it that's that
And I don't care if I sound like a dinosaur
I never thought I'd come across like my dad
When I played my Ackles, my love and my shy limbs
All I can say, is I suddenly looking in the mirror
And I found I'd turned into him
2.Stain On The Sun
作詞:Nick Saloman
She was the only girl in your eyes
She was the one good thing in your life
How is it different now, over night?
What is this inexplicable cloud that blocks your sight?
Oh yeah, I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh, but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done
She was the answer to all your prayers
She was as vital to you as the air
Why is she suddenly such a drag?
Where is the bullet, oh, in the holy roman flag?
Oh yeah, I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh, but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done
Oh yeah, I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh, but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done
Oh, I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh, but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done
3.Well Out Of It
作詞:Nicholas Saloman
Say your prayers, make that holy sound
Pride and indecision
Gonna drive to the style of this phone, baby
You'll never get up if you've never been down
You're well out of it now
Don't look book, what's done is for sure
I know you got your doubts but I swear by God, baby
It's gotta be better
Than where you were before
You're well out of it now
Daisy chains
Bright fractal traps
A lifetime burning a freaked out parallel universe
You never found anything but the space between the gaps
You're well out of it now
4.I Know We're Going
作詞:Nicholas Saloman
Oh it's the plasticine inevitable
How strange to find it here
There must be time
For one more pint of foaming ale
Before we disappear
Did we take the right road
Or the wrong road then?
I don't recall and I don't care
But I know we're going
I know we're going
I know we're going
But I don't know where
Oh, lady lay your labeled love on me
Lest I forget the way
Oh, please just one last night
Of unrestricted stuff
Before we fade away
We shrug off all responsibility
I never said that it was fair
But I know we're going
I know we're going
I know we're going
But I don't know where
Oh may I die before it's over
Perhaps I have and just don't know
And may I dignify my exit
By falling over in the road
It's got to happen
I know it's got to come
It might be here
And it might be there
But I know we're going
I know we're going
I know we're going
But I don't know where
5.Awake!
作詞:Nick Saloman
Try and wake up
Try and wake up
Right now, right now
Under me
Try and come round
Try and come round
Right now, right now
Under me, under me
6.Our Number
作詞:Nick Saloman
We walked a tightrope over the fire
We put our trust in electrical wire
For what reason? Does anyone know?
It don't seem worth it, but there you go
And unprotected under your gaze
We beg forgiveness for deviant ways
And we seek approval for being ourselves
Cos that's the one thing we do well
Ad if you leave me then I'll have no-one
You must have feelings, come on and show some
And if you ask; I'll tell you true
That it's not easy pleasing you
There's no vibration, there's nothing to mend
No indication of when it'll end
But I can't help thinking it isn't too far
And that's our number and here we are
7.Down In The Well
作詞:Nick Saloman
George, another pint of Winter Warmer
See the bubbles rising, that's not right now
Cans and bottles and the guilt of the disposer
I never the was one preaching
You never know who you're reaching
But now I seem to do it
Most of the time
Down in the well
Down in the well
Down in the well
I hold fort
Do I stand beneath a falling building?
Like some 1920's window cleaner
Just an architect created pancake
I never was one for running
There's always something coming
Wherever you hide it always
Finds you asleep
Down in the well
Down in the well
Down in the well
I sleep free
Down in the well
Down in the well
Down in the well
I remain
Down in the well
Down in the well
Down in the well
I remain
8.New River Head
作詞:Nick Saloman
Sun in his cups, cuffs
Doesn't hear the water rushing
Down on the town
Stands in his beetle crushing
Boots in his hand
A record by The Undecided
One out of one
Multiplied and then divided
What I want
Waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Oh, I need a new river head
Snakes in the grass
Sliding through the haunted gardens
Down in the park
Watching as the shadows harden
Left in the road, repose
No-one ever realizes
What you once were
Here in your new disguises
What I want
Waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Oh, I need a new river head
Dead or asleep
It doesn't really matter to me
Here in my world
Step inside
And walk right through me
I don't even see
I'm so involved in what I'm doing
Out of my grip
I'm unconcerned with rack or ruin
What I want
Waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Oh, I need a new river head
Time slips away
In this land of lakes and castles
Biding my time
Closing my eyes
I wrap it up in paper parcels
Deep in the ground
All your sorry sisters flowing
Woven in lead
With little specks of silver showing
What I want
Waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Oh, I need a new river head
Oh, I need a new river head
Oh, I need a new river head
9.The Wrong Side
作詞:Nick Saloman
I want to do the right thing
You shouldn't get excited
I wonder about your reasons
My sympathy's divided
You ought to take it slower
Wait to be invited
You're looking at the wrong side
You're looking at the wrong side
You're looking at the wrong side
I thank you for your kindness
Never knew you're worried
Will you really stay here?
You always seem so hurried
Tho I wasn't smiling
You shouldn't be discouraged
You're looking at the wrong side
You're looking at the wrong side
You're looking at the wrong side
A better day is coming
I'm happy to inform you
The city streets are safer
Weather there is warmer
Tho you might not see it
It's waiting round the corner
You're looking at the wrong side
You're looking at the wrong side
You're looking at the wrong side
10.For Want Of You
作詞:Saloman Nicholas
When I blew my mind
Just to kill the time
And I stuck my bread
On the even red
And the dark black night
But I can't pretend I care
'Cause I'm know to everywhere
For want of you
When I joined the race
And I lost my place
In the endless queue
All I knew, I was out in space
And I don't believe in luck
And I'm set on self destruct
For want of you
For want of you
11.Leave A Light On
作詞:Saloman Nicholas
It's in my blood
It's in my diet
I never sleep
But I'm always tired
And it's on my breath
Beneath my skin
And I'll do my worse
I'll try anything
To draw you in
'Cause don't want to go
Down this road
On my own
Trusting things
You can't see
Leave a light
On for me
It's in my eye
When it shuts
It traveled south
Towards my guts
I come unstuck
And I come unwound
But I need you here
To bring me round
To talk me down
'Cause don't want to go
Down this road
On my own
Trusting things
You can't see.
Leave a light
On for me
12.Red Hair
作詞:Nick Saloman
The morning drag was carrion crack
And longed for drag was growing
Into the wind, she offered her dreams
They blew her wild and flowing
Red hair
I passed her there on moral islo
The last day of my November
I heard her distant valiant song
Which beg me to remember
Red hair
The frazzled track of mayonnaise daze
Her voice was far and faded
Reminding me how sudden she changed
And cut off her cascading
Red hair
The force of years has blown me away
And seasons time may drown me
And tho it left with stable in head
I feel it wrapped round me
Red hair
13.To The Lighthouse
作詞:Nick Saloman
Joe the dealer, crazy guy
He burnt the sleeve, my fixative eye
And hung a head scarf on my light
He said the vibe was way to bright
Dug in his afghan
Brought out a stiff one
Asked if we liked it
We said, 'Yeah', he just smiled
Led the way to the lighthouse
Led the way to the lighthouse
Che Guavaro, turned his back
John and Yoko, climbed in a sack
Brother Abbot, dumped his load
Demon piglets hit the road
Poor little angel
Looked 'round the crash pad
Nobody waited, we never do
Not when the wives
Call us home to the lighthouse
Call us home to the lighthouse
Keep together, hide the stash
Clear the roaches from her dash
Don't be clever, never laugh
Better off
Back at the roundhouse
The Inn was beginning
Jesus was dancing
Really wild on my time
For the splits to the lighthouse
It just split to the lighthouse
We've all gone to the lighthouse
Everyone to the lighthouse
We've all gone to the lighthouse
Everyone to the lighthouse
