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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
