Invisible Ink 03:00
lyrics

If you’re looking for a puzzle to solve to Test your resolve Well I’ve got a message for you Illuminated with a billion little clues The key to the cipher is some Keen observation All the bells and the whistles are Flat out obfuscation You might not know what to think But if you read read read Between the lines you’ll see that How I feel about you is Written in invisible ink It’s written in invisible ink If you’re drawn to a bit of a mystery it’s Time to trace the history there’s Chemistry sure to make a mark And bring a little light back into the dark What I wanna say is Written on the vellum If you want to find out you’ll Have to add an alum I promise if you don’t overthink it And you treat treat treat It right you’ll see that How I feel about you is Written in invisible ink It’s written in invisible ink (Oak gall and vitriol) (When you heat it up honey you'll learn what you want to know) (How I feel about you is written in invisible ink) The key to the cipher is some Keen observation-ation-ation All the bells and the whistles are Flat out obfuscation-scation-scation You might not know just what to think But if you read between the lines You'll see it's all there In invisible ink

Going Really Far 03:26

Born under a long white cloud Three planets from the sun You travelled to a wide brown land Ran rings round everyone And you’re going really far You’re going really far Phar Lap You’re going really far We cheered you from the stands You raced across our screens We watched as you prepared to fly Through barriers on worlds unseen And you’re going really far You’re going really far Phar Lap You’re going really far You pulled through from behind To win on Saturn’s track A victory in a flash of light But you never did come back And you’re going really far You’re going really far Phar Lap You’re going really far You had the biggest heart Phar Lap You’re shooting for the stars Phar Lap Hope shining in the dark Phar Lap You’re going really far Phar Lap You’re going really far

Hexaflexagon 03:00
lyrics

Once upon a story told and Folded over time We learned survival Learned the battle Learned the way of rhyme Spin the handle Crank the wheel Sing along As you turn the hexaflexagon Behind the seven lands and seas there Lived a bay of shelves They held the meanings Held the histories Held the secret selves Spin the handle Crank the wheel Sing along As you turn the hexaflexagon Once there was where there wasn’t Nothing not quite there We ran forward We ran faster Ran adrift on air Spin the handle Crank the wheel Sing along As you turn the hexaflexagon Back when tigers smoked tobacco Where the wild words roamed We went sideways We went through We went to other homes Spin the handle Crank the wheel Sing along As you turn the hexaflexagon Long long long ago there was a day A day was here We gathered round We gathered stories Gathered far and near Spin the handle Crank the wheel Sing along As you turn the hexaflexagon Where it was there it was We see it over there It’s behind you It’s within you Bending through the air Spin the handle Crank the wheel Sing along As you turn the hexaflexagon Once upon a story told and Folded over time We learned survival Learned the battle Learned the way of rhyme Spin the handle Crank the wheel Sing along As you turn the hexaflexagon

Start Again 04:18
lyrics

I labour over empty boxes Building lifetimes from the clues If I let go then I let you win But either way I lose And I can’t erase the past And I can’t find the words to Fill the space inside I stare blankly at the edges Thinking maybe if I squint Then it will all come clear and I’ll see the truth and Find what fits But I can’t erase the past And I can’t find a way to Figure this thing out The horoscopes on the facing page Tell me when and what and how to feel And I wish I could believe them But we both know that magic isn’t real So now I’m on my own I think I’ll Solve this one in pen And if I get the answer wrong I guess I’ll cross it out And start again I fumble through my pencil case For the right shade of graphite If I press down hard enough It’ll look like black and white But I can’t erase the past And I can’t find any leads to Follow through The horoscopes on the facing page Tell me when and what and how to feel And I wish I could believe them But we both know magic isn’t real So now I’m on my own I think I’ll Solve this one in pen And if I get the answer wrong I guess I’ll cross it out And start again And I want to explain it all away With fantasies and fairy dust Find the answers in the stars Read the future in the cards I could hide away in stories Pretend that this was meant to be But the simple truth explains it best that You just didn’t care enough for me I labour over empty boxes Building lifetimes from the clues If I let go then I let you win But either way I lose And I can’t erase the past And I just can’t figure this thing out So now I’m on my own I think I’ll Solve this one in pen And if I get the answer wrong I guess I’ll cross it out and start again I’ll start again
