79% (A Song about nothing)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, woah-ohhhhh
We find ourselves, moving slowly
Here to there and back again
Glaring at passing traffic
Giving nothing much away
This is a song, about nothing in particular
This is a song about nothing…
Find myself, battery discharged (79%)
System dump, memory drain
Energy expended
So here comes another refrain
This is a song, about nothing in particular
This is a song about nothing…
anhedonic
It’s too late now
It’s too late now
The rain will fall
Birds migrate
Crane, swift, plover, redwing, kite
Time will tell
And it’s too late now
Too late now
It’s too late now
My battery’s low and it’s getting dark
Character development, narrative arc
Throwing a coin, into the stream
Searching for codes in the pattern of leaves
Treetop, elemental
Maps are unclear
Take your medicine nothing to fear…
The coin to a wish
Such realisations we relish
Stoma, coma, downward spiral
Collective visions viral
And it’s too late now
Too late now
It’s too late now
anticipation
Anticipation // Communication
Laying back, suspended here
Ends of my hairs to fingertips
Void consume me, thick like smoke
Teasing, pulling at my lips
Anticipation, growing every way
Communication, games we play
Anticipation
See you see me, eternity
Wavelength patterns, touch me, channel in
Be the moment, burn like fire
Searching for a might-have-been
Careening orb, life signs coming down today
Anticipation
Blinking eyes, look up
From tablet glare to open sky
All at once is never too much
Can I spirit you away, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Anticipation, growing every way
Communication, games we play
Anticipation
Deluge
Darkness surrounds, coming in waves
Lingering on every street corner drain
After the rain, night fall
Your eyes say so much, tell me nothing at all
After the rain, will we still be friends?
Transluscent shimmer, comes in colours
Stagnation preceeds, a big bang
I shiver, let’s pretend we grasped the meaning of the golden rule
Believe in the process, dive into the pool
She looks around with outstretched hands
And says “I only want you, to understand a part of us will never return“
Like a wanderer in a distant land, sometimes we need to roam
The coming rain sends the raven home
After the rain, will we still be friends?
Falling
Free falling, we're, free falling...
Cloudstream, we are floating through the dream
Stimulus, roller-coastering up there
Cloudstream, I think I saw our world around here somewhere...
Hold me close, don't ever let go, keep calling my name
Free falling, we're, Free falling...
Obscure, you think your thoughts
Think they're kinda pure
Reconsider our time
Cumulus hovers after the rain falls
Obscure, engulfed in cloud, Forever 21...
Hold me close, don't ever let go, keep calling my name
Free falling, we're, Free falling...
Nimbus, secluded...
Getting our heads lost in clouds.
Free falling, we're, Free falling...
Free falling
fourth way (lyric by Mark astronaut)
By the hidden weapons stations, that are guarded by Alsatians
In the bushes lay a young man, with some petrol, in an old can.
And he'd like to fire the building, catch the fuckers unaware,
But he won't of course, it's just enough to say that he was there
And the rich are sitting pretty round the table saying
"Pass the port, darling"
The kid is jacking up outside the weapons station
"Pass the port, darling"
And let us talk about the problem of the nation
"Pass the port, darling"
The smackheads in the system no one will resist them, got the disaffected ones who are neglected, give them all a New Deal hoping they wont see the light.
Bloke with nice tie, he's a good man, heterosexual with a good tan,
All the rhetoric from the Icon, was seductive but was based on
A pretence that we are free from interference of the state
Never mentioning the way that those in power operate
And the rich are down in Mayfair, buying salmon saying
"Pass the cash, darling"
My therapist says that this is good for me so I say
"Pass the cash, darling"
And let us settle down for my bililoquy,
"Pass the cash, darling"
And we are so deserving, and it is unnerving how the poor resent us, too much time is spent and we give them a New Deal, try to make the peasants sweat
Lubricated by some good wine, she said "darling, what's your star sign?",
Did a good deal, got a fine wage
Which they blew on, items new age
Now multicoloured beads and crystals show the way ahead
Rub their genitals with tiger balm before they go to... bed
Never think about the people sleeping under bridges
"Pass my chart, darling"
We used to follow Marx but now we toe the line
"Pass the chart, darling"
Our passion is misplaced our feelings anodyne
"Pass my chart, darling"
If Saturn is ascending, there's no point in spending, time to help each other, when we could discover, some elusive power, leave the poor alone to rot....
inevitable race
In this life // Only one thing is sure
Chaotic pace // No one asked for
The myth of homeostasis // Nothing stays the same
Nobody volunteered // To act on this stage
Let's take a breather
Rest up backstage
Familiar, reassuring tune
Comes from somewhere up ahead
Lyrics suggest it'll all be over soon
Inevitable race // Light speed guaranteed
Then a moment of calm
Something to cling on to
Familiar, reassuring tune
A warm embrace, from your sun
Reflected by your tiny insignificant moon
Inevitable race // Light speed guaranteed
Lunar reflections
Non-linear clarity
Inertial reference frame (more gravity)
Inevitable race // Light speed guaranteed
leaving home
We made this
Someone bless our mess
We planned to start leaving home
And it goes like this
Cratered Moon
Volcano history
They may ‘Pompei’ where to run
It goes on like this
Break out of here // Getting hotter
Leaving home
Neijuan
Tech bros in golden towers linger on
Part of my mission is listening
Secretly detonating worlds
Lava flows like this
rising
It's sinking in
It's sinking in
My ears are burning
Skin is raw
Draw a blank, think tank
Voices hoarse in the corridors
Louder and louder, time and again
Sometimes it' s quiet
Do I know my face
When I take my own photo
Alone in an empty place
It's sinking in
Take our seats for the show, we're all tuned in
Televised, it's about to begin
Louder and louder, louder and louder, time and again
It's sinking in
I can breathe out, let go
What do you do, dude?
My pulse is racing
Hand on heart
Still breathing
Voices tear the walls apart
Louder and louder, louder and louder, time and again
Louder and louder...
robot ways (lyric by Mark astronaut)
Robot Ways, are all you're going to see
Robot days, pertain to you and me
And it seems so strange
But things get muddled in the mind of a robot
All that fame, you thought would never come
All that fame, it was bizarre to some
How you change(d)
But things get sticky in the psyche of a robot
When you gonna fall? When you gonna bleed?
Waiting for the call
That says "I think it's time, (alright), I think it's time (give it up) I think it's time I O.Ded"
Wasted days, are all you're going to see
Get screwed up, so charismatically
Dolce et decorum est, pro patria mori In the manner of a robot
Waiting to be found, face-down in your own vomit
You'll end up in the ground
And you wanted to be, you wanted to be, you know you wanted to be
A comet
A comet
You always wanted to be a comet
Your lifelong ambition was to be a comet…
shine
"Are they not shining?", the boy asked
"They're not the stars, son, that you see, you see"
"Why are you crying?" ... no reply
How long must we hide like this?
Can you see them shine? Can you see them shine? Can you see them shine?
Are they not shining, memories?
In all our minds, eons in time
The light you're seeing, long since blown out
Light a candle to the past and move forwards
Can you see them shine? Can you see them shine? Can you see them shine?
See them shine
See them shine
See them shine
the sound (paris 2013-2016)
Paris // Follow you, following me
You need some place to go
Go some place to need...
Lovers // Your light shines
Your money burns money
You kill your time with time
Stars
Our time walks past us in the night
Clarity // Air of revolution in the air
Resistance of evidence
The sound of we don't care...
Sing // Renew, resell, repeat
You make the sound of your town
Don't let me down
Stars
Our time walks past us in the night
Don't let me down, Paris town
Don't let me down, Paris town
Don't let me down, Paris town
Don't let me down, Paris town
There is no Data to Suggest that Astronauts Dream while in Outer Space
They'll be coming back soon
Something about a new moon
Paper tigers, in your imagination
Appropriation
Soviets are looking serene.
Astronauts never dream
I'm a good friend of a friend
See if we can't get the bends
Us are make believe
Simplify the process
Emancipation
Not becoming you and me
Astronauts never dream
What do I next, checklist, words on pages scan
Atomised by distraction, disorientation, luminescence complex
What do I do what I can but try,
Something's happening to my air supply
Moving backwards with such grace,
Collective conscious in collective face (punchdrunk)
Lunar stamps still seared to the dust,
There's nothing to chase them
Forever dust bowl race (sea of clouds)
In the end everything is replaced.
Think of a Future (between 1 and 10)
The future is near // sum multi-year
You just haven't heard of it
You just haven't heard about it yet
When the data centre’s plugged in
Leads to rhymes then to crimes
Spits 24th century hymns
Those powers pledge Death in foreign climes
Follow me // Another age
Simple as the turning of a page
You seek it you need it
There’s a Roman centurion
on a concrete roundabout
Fallen centuries of trees spinning round about it
The future is here // Sunny number, little clear
The future is here // Sunny number, little clear
You just haven't thought of it yet
You just haven't thought about it yet
