Radio Caroline

I lost my faith in speaking my heart long ago
I try I try but we can’t put down our phones
It’s just so exhausting - sky high on dopamine
Still with these stars above us - we just stare at our feet
Scrolling through our newsfeed - I need escape from modern life
Give me Radio Caroline
Give me Radio Caroline
I am the son of a dying dream I never had
I feel small in the shadow of generations passed
It’s just so depressing - the struggle’s still the same
But we hide behind the distance - ghost someone, feel no shame
Is there no other way - ooh I can’t take this modern life
Give me Radio Caroline
A slice of precious paradise
A place to hide away - place I want to stay with you
Give me Radio Caroline
8 o’clock I give applause
And drink myself into a fog
As my life becomes a void
The screen blue light - black hole my mind
A cough a hack a swab a mask
The fear running down my back
I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know
We’re all just tiny humans turning
Clinging to a rock that’s burning
We still are stardust but the colors died away
What once was golden now just 21st century grey
It’s just soul crushing - 10,000 tears to come
What are the children dreaming - just find some heart to hack
The trees aren’t coming back - turn off your mind, relax~
Give me Radio Caroline, a slice of precious paradise
A place to hide away, a place I want to stay with you
Give me Radio Caroline

Cleo From 5 To 7
03:34
|

I’m trusting her to know the way through this town
Endless lines leave the underground
Cleo’s on the marquee as we flee to the awnings through the rain
I try to keep (all the promises I make)
I try to move (but the going’s so hard)
I try to do (right)
But it takes this sense of
Vu - vuja de
Stand your ground be swept away
Misunderstand
All you can to be a better man
The crowds are out filling bars and cafes
This parasol covers just her face
She buys me shoes on the Champs Elysees but it’s too much
Feet will dry
I want to feel (grateful for this love)
I want to give (in the way that she does)
I want to be close to
Vu - vuja de
Stand your ground be swept away
Misunderstand
All you can to be a better man
I need to know why you’re waiting
‘Cause we both know whose heart is breaking
And still you’re here and I can’t take it
I’ve got to be as you can be
All the time
Vu - vuja de
Stand your ground be swept away
Misunderstand
All you can to be a better man
She’ll always be there with me
Giving what I don’t know I need
And Cleo on the marquee

Empire of Light
03:12

Little bug crawling on a rusty leaf
With a flash, big thunder bring rain
The whip the gust the wet are too much
Little bug’s washed away
Little spill overfilled your cup of dreams
Liquid dreams in a pool at your feet
The ocean arrives you’re swept in the tide
Miles and miles in the stream
You can race for the sun
Close your eyes til morning comes
Disconnect your head - back to sleep
The end is the beginning everything is spinning
Wake up and see
The queen arrives hazel eyes on new year’s eve
The milky way in her chilled champagne
The hours they slide she’s there by your side
Her lips taste of stardust and rain
You can ride into the sun
With so much to do undone
Disconnect your head - sip your tea
The end is the beginning everything is spinning
Wake up and see
The universe in the eyes of a newborn
Little lamps little room soft light
A million stars shine on her tonight
Baby she’s safe in the sky
Baby she’s warm tonight
Baby she’s fine

Never or Tomorrow
05:10

Empty life - life to make dreams
Watch them fill up the sky, big as the old screen
Slow down - they say slow down man
You are here - today
Today the man who walks through worlds
Leaves the hive of buzzing lights and megaphones
Touching silence he will slip inside
Shut the noise off - let go of time
Time shapes me and I just hold on
And these dreams go on and on and on
Dreams of mercy in the shadow
Dreams of Queen Jane that follow
Could be never or tomorrow
Is there no better gift than time
Wake up - time to wake up
Breathing deep into dreams, deep into these
Into these ashes
We make ourselves again
Dreams of mercy in the shadow
Dreams of Queen Jane where we go
Could be never or tomorrow
Is there no better gift than time
(is there no) better gift than time
(is there no) better gift than time

This Floating World
04:48
|

Waves - pulsing like veins
The heartbeat
Core of heat fire
Connecting my feet
On the path now
Onto my last now
Destination
One giant step
My legs are trees
Cradle in the ocean
I become your child again
I walk this floor slow step
Through wet sand
This floor - sharp rocks they cut
Into my skin
Sunlight stars can’t reach this
This far down
The way of nature
The way of creatures
We return
Waves are pulsing
Deep swells of motion
Pull me in
Earth is shaking
I am shaking
Cradle in the ocean
I become your child
I breathe - breathe last time leaving
In your arms I’m born to this
To this - to this - to this

Skylarking
04:43
|
|||
I step out again
Visions of a world I’ve never seen
Not afraid of it
Miles high I’m walking through a dream
I taste the sea foam
Feast on the thick fog
As the sun breaks low
They come on in
Fly free flying feathers - over my head
Show me your weather - blue ocean wind
Wrap me in shadows - as we ascend
Take me to heaven - ah
Lost myself again
Pieces of my life in desert sand
But it feels okay
I don’t need those pieces anyway
I hear the eagles
I spread my arms wide
With just one feather
Then I could fly
Fly free flying feathers - over my head
Show me your weather - blue ocean wind
Wrap me in shadows - as we ascend
Take me to heaven - asleep in my bed
As the world starts to curve
I feel the sunbeams
And all the lives that I’ve lived
Pass before me
I’ve never felt like this before
My guardians by my side
As we fly
As we ascend
Asleep in my bed
Over my head
Blue ocean wind
As we ascend
Asleep in my bed

More Than a Lifetime
03:26
|

Flying bombs - shattering rain
The air we breathe will kill us
Face with no mouth, a voice in the crowd
Speak through the cloth keep distance
We still ain’t ever gonna stop
We’re here to break the shackles
We’re here to strike
Louder than sunshine
More hearts that beat together
More hands to hold the line
Tonight will last for more than a lifetime (a lifetime)
More than a lifetime
This lifetime - this single breath
Burning cars torching the rain
Cracking the whip of your system
Hands to the sky we say who we are
If you would stop and listen
Just listen
More hearts that beat together
More hands to hold the line
Tonight will last for more than a lifetime (a lifetime)
More than a lifetime
More than a lifetime
This lifetime - this single breath

Arrows in the Morning
02:33
|

So elaborate all the patterns that you’re weaving
Colors streaming from the paint on your hand
Oh god - can I keep up?
Who is this holding on?
Hint of red wine lingers on your lips now
Two step dancing like the mischief in your eye
One by one my pockets are torn
Holding my breath behind the door
Spice and magic in the kettle that we’re heating
Two lips greeting on the shelf in a jar
Gravity’s pink flamingos they dream
Tarot cards on the floor
Between the shadow of your arrows and the morning
Unprotected I can glimpse your heart
Oh god - I can’t be wrong
This may be just what I’ve been waiting for
Waiting for
Been waiting for
Waiting for

Electric Children
05:36
|
|||
Please have some courtesy
Pray for the soft machine
We’re wires and sparks conducting dreams
You electric children
Heroes in the making
Spirits and stars and glitter hearts
Needles in grooves now spin
Pure oxygen
Dressed to dream and play
Flood the fields in fashion
Melting miracle waves
Turning on the garden
Ooo you rock ‘n rollers
Yeah switch on your signal
Here to receive the universe
Boneless roses and cherry sun
Gelatin jams and lily drums
Tulip skies that cry
You’re alive
Dressed to dream and play
Flood the fields in fashion
Melting miracle waves
Turning on the garden
Dressed to dream today
Running through the grasses
Bathe in colors and caves
Dancing like a butterfly
And love your charming stranger
Sleep will come when morning comes
We’re here tonight to save the world
Hold on, darling hold on, listen hold on, hold on
