Blancmange Tribute EP

 Living On The Ceiling

You keep me running round and round well, that's alright with me
Up and down, I'm up the wall I'm up the bloody tree
That's alright with me  that's alright with me
Well, it feels alright to me it looks alright to me
And I'm so tall, I'm so tall you raise me and then you let me fall
And I'm so small, I'm so small wrap me around your finger, see me fall

You keep me running round and round well, that's alright with me
Nothing, nothing, nothing's gonna step in my way
Living on the ceiling no more room down there
Things fall into place you get the joke, fall into place
And I'm so tall, I'm so tall you raise me and then you let me fall
And I'm so small, I'm so small wrap me around your finger, see me fall

You keep me running round and round well, that's alright with me
Up and down, I'm up the wall I'm up the bloody tree
Hiding from your questions questions you won't ask
Why am I up the tree, you say why are you down there, I say
And I'm so tall, I'm so tall you raise me and then you let me fall
And I'm so small, I'm so small wrap me around your finger, see me fall

Don't Tell Me

I'll stay with you until the end I say you'll let me be your friend
I'll say you'll let me in the end I just want to be your friend
How can I be sure you're breaking all the rules
How can I be sure I should be high above
I climbed a mountain reaching for the skies
And all too soon I jump the moon and find I'm losing my mind

Don't tell me I'm the howling wind
Don't tell me you're the wounded star
And don't tell me I'm the devil's friend
Don't tell me don't tell me I've gone too far

I didn't hear you as you left my room last night don't turn your back on me
I didn't hear you as you left the room last night please return and set me free
I climbed a mountain reaching for the skies
And all too soon I jumped the moon and find the sun burns my eyes

I can't get a grip on I can't get a grip on
I can't get a grip on you I can't get a grip on can't get a grip on
I say you'll let me in the end I say you'll let me be your friend
I maybe asked this once before don't you love me any more?

Antisocial Media

Two-faced anonymous truckers on the edge, on the verge
Venting a spleen, hiding behind zeros and ones - virtual screen
Should only be hiding head hung from and in shame
Correct me if I'm wrong correct me if I'm wrong
Chastise me, unbaptise me correct me but not till the end of the song

Since the new world began where you threw in your coat
Am I right in thinking governors are off, comments spat
Apparent impunity, the dog off the leash
Thank your God, no Orwellian thought police
Are you watching, waiting, watching waiting, are you hating?
Correct me if I'm wrong correct me if I'm wrong
Chastise me, unbaptise me correct me but not till the end of the song

Two-faced anonymous truckers on the edge, on the verge
Venting a spleen, hiding behind zeros and ones - virtual screen
Should only be hiding head hung from and in shame
Correct me if I'm wrong correct me if I'm wrong
Chastise me, unbaptise me correct me but not till the end of the song

I Smashed Your Phone

I smashed your phone tonight joy
The consequences will reverberate until eternity I'm told
I smashed your phone tonight joy
I smashed your phone outside Yordas Cave
I smashed your phone splintering fragments
Like in an Arthur C. Clarke

I tore your world apart last night
In anger teeth revealed the ageing process cannot be denied
I tore your world apart last night
I smashed your phone outside Yordas Cave
I smashed your phone splintering fragments
Like in an Arthur C. Clarke

Has it happened head throb confused
If we can't recognise it indeed you did
How will I know undone indeed
It hasn't happened, it hasn't happened
I smashed your phone outside Yordas Cave
I smashed your phone splintering fragments
Like in an Arthur C. Clarke

Red Shift (Blame Thrower)

Blame thrower backstabber
Digit pointer tongue wagger
Blame thrower backstabber
Digit pointer tongue wagger
You're cheap cheap liar
Shoot low aim higher
Credit grabber empathy missing

Blame thrower backstabber
Digit pointer tongue wagger
Blame thrower backstabber
Digit pointer tongue wagger
You're cheap cheap liar
Shoot low aim higher
Credit grabber empathy missing

Blame thrower backstabber
Digit pointer tongue wagger
Blame thrower backstabber
Digit pointer tongue wagger
You're cheap cheap liar
Shoot low aim higher
Credit grabber empathy missing

Unfurnished Rooms

I'm in search of unfurnished rooms hall landing dining conclude
I'm in search of unfinished works hung well in barrier reefed frames
Abandoned shopping checkout recovery lost four words you left them behind
In search of unfurnished rooms hall landing dining conclude
I'm in search of unfinished works hung well in barrier reefed frames
You left them behind you left them behind you left them behind

In search of unfurnished rooms hall landing dining conclude
There's a storm in your head a picket line you cannot cross
No amount of online shopping will cover for the loss
In search of unfurnished rooms hall landing dining conclude
Instead of going out you climb into the attic and listen as the world does sigh
Above the hum of a wasp nest a phone call at a funeral

Low mist on the M25 kissing the roof as we drive
Moire patterns slip middle age
In search of unfurnished rooms in search of unfurnished rooms
Hall landing dining conclude in search of unfinished works
Hung well in barrier reefed frames
You left them behind you left them behind you left them behind
