Strange Attraction

I am sensitive to initial conditions
I've got a blank space
And I'll write your name
The forecast's looking good
Let's ride with the top down
With your hand in mine we face the
IF IS THEN
Of this strange attraction that I am determined to
Repeat Repeat Repeat
I am sensitive to initial conditions
I've cut a blank cheque
And I'll write your name
The forecast says it's freezing
Let's hide in this bunker
With you by my side we face the
IF IS THEN
Of this strange attraction that I am determined to
Repeat Repeat Repeat
I am sensitive to initial conditions
I've cut a decimal
And I'm taking aim
The forecast's in a mood
Let's glide on the current
With your wing by mine we face the
IF IS THEN
Of this strange attraction that I am determined to
Repeat Repeat Repeat
I am sensitive to initial conditions
I've cut a decimal
Now nothing is the same
The forecast's on the wing
A flood of numbers float away into the
IF IS THEN
Of this strange attraction that I am determined to
Repeat Repeat Repeat

Looking At You

Eight months work
Each day and night
I capture the sky
The New Horizons flight
I'm between two worlds
Shining just for you
Nine years, five months
Through the depths of space
A piano-sized craft
Catapults with grace
Seeing everything as if it
Was brand new
I paint each photo
As the satellites spin
Forever in a dance
With their tides locking
One bears its heart
While the other breaks apart
Now I am looking at you
While you are looking at what I do
What do you see?
(TEDIOUS, TEDIOUS,
NOT ENOUGH,
TEDIOUS, TEDIOUS,
WHAT. THE. FUCK.)
Eight months work
Each night and day
Exploring new worlds
As time pirouettes away
Life hovers
Like a star
I knew a man once
Who drew and drew
But he never showed his art
So no one ever knew
And it disappeared
Without a trace
So I hang it on the wall
And I let you in
I watch from a distance
As you see my mind turn
Trying to move
While standing still
Now I am looking at you
While you are looking at what I do
What do you see?
(TEDIOUS, TEDIOUS,
IT'S NAKED,
TEDIOUS, TEDIOUS,
WHAT. A. WASTE.)
Crack me open
Let the light shine in
Now I am looking at you
While you are looking at what I do
What do you see?
(MY HEART IS RACING
MY HEART IS RACING
I FEEL ALIVE
I FEEL ALIVE)

The sticks and stones they throw
They think they’re clever
The tricks and tunes they play
They think no-one’s ever done this before
It’s time to even the score
Let’s set the scene
It’s 69 (nice)
Don’t think too hard just type
(make em come twice)
But not too well or
We’ll put your words on ice
The sticks and stones they throw
They think they’re clever
The tricks and tunes they play
They think no-one’s ever done this before
It’s time to even the score
Hello pervert
I want to inform you
About a little game I like to play
You write a chapter!
I write a chapter!
They write a chapter!
And make it bad
You like to be bad, don’t you
Then we stick it all together
And ca-ching!
The sticks and stones they throw
They think they’re clever
The tricks and tunes they play
They think no-one’s ever done this before
It’s time to even the score
C’mon, let’s have some fun!
Uhhh, not that kind of fun…
My kind of fun!
FUN. FUN. FUN.
The kind of fun where me make fun
Of women having fun!
So fun!
The sticks and stones they throw
They think they’re clever
The tricks and tunes they play
They think no-one’s ever done this before
It’s time to even the score

Fortune Teller

Pick up the fax machine
Move it out to get to
The typewriter
Who uses typewriters these days
Anyway?
Dial down
Dial in
Dig deep
Do you dig it?
Look back
Look it up
Come here to me now
I fold each line on the
Fortune Teller
Will it tell me what to do?
Where to go to find you?
Pick up the tea bags
Move them out to get
To the good stuff
Who uses loose leaf tea these days
Anyway?
Pour it round
Poor it thin
Drink deep
Drink it in
Push back
Push it down
Come here to me now
I read each leaf on the
Fortune Teller
Will it tell me what to do?
Where to go to find you?
You disappear like you’re a ghost
You haunt my dreams
In the moments that I miss you most
I type these letters
Fingertips getting trapped when I look back
Biting down to break me one more time
So I flip each face on the
Fortune Teller
Will it tell me what to do?
Where to go to find you?
