Before the storm
03:12
|

|
Before the storm comes you’ll see the dancers. And the loss of the back legs. And the shotgun of the humane hand. And the stories of the previous storm.

Opening line
03:15
|
|||
|
I don’t know why I like that opening line so much. Maybe lots of different people have first marriages. The future tense. A man will walk down the street and he will say hey hey hey. Maybe lots of different people have first marriages. And the mountain forces the future and the force causes the rain. I found the fanzine, the master copy of the hope of the 80s. The future tense.

LYRICS
The best thing you can do right now is leave. What was that the advice for? Was this work, or love, or family? Changed. Everything. For someone, or even for multiples of peoples. Was this work, or love, or family? Destroyed. Everything. For multiples of peoples. Or was he just so tired, and could not think? We will sort this on Monday. Destroyed. Changed. Everything. For someone.

On a beach
03:48
|
|||
|
On this beach I found a cigarette lighter and I had never seen one of these before due to the fact that no one in my immediate family smoked due to the fact that everyone in their family did. On this beach John Lennon played on as a kid I played on as a kid. On that beach you saw your first oyster catcher, and as you ran towards it with such excitement, it flew away towards the north, and I thought maybe it’s diving for pearls.

Your left side
03:27
|
|||
|
These men I avoid, and am afraid of, helped me. The top half of his face is normal, tired but normal, in proportion. All items of value have been removed. The hand you used to hold at the dance. Everyone’s scared and everyone’s kind. Outside the Denison Hall I overheard him say – Nothing, I’ve got the radio on in the background – to someone he must love enough to lie to. Everyone’s scared and everyone’s kind. Oh god you’ve lost your left side.

Hay powerfool leader
03:59

|
There are two mountains to the inland, one with the family name Loyal. The other is less oppressive, with the name Hope. Hey kid, do you know what you are encouraging? Well it could destroy everything. You fake to run and imitate dreams and hopes. In the dark months the dancers precede the storm. Their beauty is forgiving of the force. After hope there’s love, and after love there’s justice, and after justice there’s force. You fake to run and imitate dreams and hopes.

If you draw a diamond
03:15
|
|||
|
If I could explain to you the significance of you in my arms. This hand shakes from when I met you. If you draw a diamond, it’s a diamond. I can hear your heart beat except when you sneeze. I had heard about love and loneliness, but the day before I met you I was told that tomorrow everything would change into colour. I can hear your heart beat except when you sneeze. When you’re by my side I look out at the sea.

The first waltz
03:43
|
|||
|
Everybody knows about vanishing points, the grey remains of the repeated days and the same smile. The first waltz went well. There’s a darkness at the edge. The first waltz went well. The hand you used to hold at the dance. You have no way of knowing what anybody here might be going through. Earlier today the woman in front of me passed away. And the first waltz went well. The hand you used to hold at the dance. There’s a darkness at the edge.

An actor playing a version in a chipmunk costume, with an obscured vision, and with a metal frame, and he can just move about and wave. Your sister poses for a photograph and in the corner of the frame no one can recall who was consoling you. You wanted to say how much the character meant to you and inspired you, and for making you laugh. But because of the obscured vision he didn’t see you, and you were heartbroken. Your sister poses for a photograph and in the corner of the frame no one can recall who was consoling you. For a child seeing the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual, but they are an animation, and at the parks they have an actor playing a version, who poses for a photograph. In the corner of the frame no one can recall who was consoling you.

That night in Thurso
03:25
|
|||
|
That night in Thurso they left me stranded. I’m the last born song of an incomer, so that makes me an incomer too. I did not have the memory of belonging. In the guilt-filled city there’s a romance towards the remote, so I put on my strongest accent and I speak. But I did not have the memory of belonging, and I wait. We all sit with our backs to the noise and we wait. We all sit with our backs to the movement and we wait. And I put on my strongest accent and I wait.
