Oh, How it Feels Nice
04:36
|
|

We've been sitting on flowers
In shimmering crystal streams
The grass wades inbetween our fingers
And lilies are swimming through us
We've been growing our hair
Wild and free
Let your thighs be wrapped by ivy
Let your body turn into wine
Our bodies turn to earth and our hearts into sea
Oh, how it feels nice

We Are Not Physical
04:49

|

A flower blooms and the clouds crack
We appear on the mountain pass
Sew the words in the long grass
Taste the pepper on our tongues at last and
There's nothing to see down here
We Are not physical
I taste the pepper cracking
And our tongues explode
I hear the air is moving
And our bodies glow
Nothing is still
Everything slips out of place
My language as well
It is all tectonic
It is all tectonic plates
There's nothing to see down here
We Are not physical
There's nothing to see down here
We Are not physical
Maybe we're massive, maybe we're dots
I can feel the edges, they are soft
Maybe we exist and maybe we do not
I can feel the edges they are soft
We are not physical
Nothing to see down here
We are just passing by
Nothing is still down here
I was just checking out the sky
Heard it was beautiful

As it falls, a pitch blacker than black
We will shiver
And our arms, now wider than wide
They will hold each other
We have been here forever
As a thought starts to arise
It will whither
And our hearts, now wider than wide
They will reach the centre
We have been here forever
Our toes fall neatly in the grass
We walk home between the raindrops
You glow, and so do I
and we tumble down the hillside
You glow, and so do I
and we tumble down the hillside
singing
We have been here forever
We have been here forever

Once You Were In My Head
04:03

Where
Where did you go?
Once you were in my head and now you're gone.
I lay down
To feel your glow again
But I now I know you were a moment
Your edges soft
And shimmering
Your skin
Just passing through
You can come back
Any time
And when you do it'll be eternity
Your edges soft
And shimmering
Your skin
Just passing through
You took the sky
And brought it inside
Took the tide in your hands
And the edge of the shimmer
Stood still as winter
You took the sky
Brought it inside
Took the night in your hands
And the edge of the shimmer
Stood still as winter

Completely Normal Things
02:34
|
|

Ply me with coffee and lets begin
Every colour in the spectrum is rolling away
Through the splits in the concrete and into the drain
All the shades in the world
are coming out of your hair
And into the rain
It's all staying separate and thank god for that
I really wouldn't want it to fade into black
All the shades in the world
are coming out of your hair
And into the rain
I've not been sleeping
Waking life is a dream
I have forgotton
Completely normal things

Love Making Love
03:42

Nothing overwhelming much happened to me
I've been sat around watching some old TV and then I'm
Going to the river to swim and I'm
Going to the field to run in
Nothing wrong with the quiet life
Nothing going on and that suits me fine
And there's blossom falling from the tree
And there's birds singing songs I wanna be singing
Love making then there's making love
Love making then there's making love
Grass standing between our toes
I pick a piece out and hold it close
And ooooh
Honey pours down from the sky
To women kiss and their lakes collide
A flower blooms and it's drummer dies
And his body, it just spills like wine
His body it spills like wine
Nothing overwhelming much happened at all
Life is but a dream and then to the river we fall
And there's blossom sinking from the moon
And there's sirens singing songs I wanna be drowning to
Wild water between our toes
Scoop some out, it shines like gold
And ooooh
Ooooh

Heard it Was Beautiful
00:52

We were just passing by
Like clouds
Nothing to see here
We are not physical
I was just checking out
The sky
Nothing is still here
Heard it was beautiful

Black Cotton

The night sky was just like black cotton
When we kissed well it was five in the morning
And my eyes have been tired ever since
There were strangers in those shadows once
There were strangers in those shadows once
The cold water was up to my neck
I could have just stayed there like a shipwreck
I remember that walk like it was yesterday
You said the sun was pouring in
You said the sun was pouring in
You said the sun was pouring in
You said the sun was pouring in

Samh Huddersfield, UK
The sound of a sleep deprived hallucinating landscape. Strange colours in the sky, earth wobbling underfoot, clouds raining delay. Funky off kilter rhythms, folk from the mud, rock at heart.
