janine
u called me up on my mistakes
said you’ve been sad in love before
sad in love before
& lately u ignore all of my chat
but you’ve been mad at me before
mad at me before
and it seems
im cutting up again
u said u’s good for 10
when joanna lends
me 2 pound to get the bus to u
janine
how can we still be friends when we’ve
been through these lines before
these lines before
and lately
when i try to make a mends
u won’t even take my call
i’ve hit a wall
and it seems
im cutting up again
u said u’s good for 10
when joanna lends
me 2 pound to get the bus to u
remember when u quoted nietzche at me
& i pretended i was impressed
but m8 its enough to spell it
i couldn’t catch yr last word if i tried
yr accessibility is exclusive
im cutting up again
oh well lets not pretend
we should still be friends
when we have fallen from different planets

crying on the megabus will only make you feel worse
you know someday we might just work out how we’re broken
but for now listen to STATUS QUO (insert band) on repeat
disassociate as we drive down the M4
we're all we've got
we're all we need
this time, you and me were meant to be
holding on, holding on, holding on, holding on
(we are our own society
believe in each other
believe in each other)
lets pick up all the pieces that they left us
atomised by work and rent and sleep
tell each other when we’re hurt or stressed or broken
and protect all our communities
(we're all we've got
we're all we need)
(are you sad enough?)
we're all we've got
we're all we need

share another secret
fears about the weekend
issues and tissues
and shaking in yr friends bed
but yr scared to see him after
smoked another Marlborough
loose leaves
in cracked teeth
and shows with an ex lover
and she's lying wakeless all night
humming brand new tunes through the same old wounds
and he'll be staying up all night
singing the same old songs he knew all along
all along
all along
will the night tube over
lost looks on the the boarder
bike falls and zine stalls
and shadows on his shoulder
so you wake to see him wasted
photos from yr old bed
gin shots
from long drops
& parties w yr best friends
now you cant see him fall
and he wont know at all
now you cant see him fall
and he wont know at all
but where it all ends is back in yr arms
yr hair tangled on his nose ring
and safety on the 333
with a text and everything you meant to me

borderline
absolutely honest
brutally tell me yr not very sorry
it takes time
cypresses recover
what winter claimed
left us all wrapped up & blue
if we can take
maybe 2 steps back
and think about
all that we share
all that we knew
grew up in 2
an unsightly pair
maybe 2 steps back
if we can step
just 2 squares back
2 squares of fabric
yr jumper patched
all that we share
all that we share
we ripped in 2
our 2 squares match
every time
when u try to phone me
the post chat blues
just reduced the apology
stubborn words
would adhere inside me
but now i think
i’ve grown so indifferent to it
are we being honest
when we say it’s over?
are we being honest
when we say it’s over?
[maybe]

the city doesn't
seem to sleep
but all the bars have closed and
we aren't even close to
closure
Another “last one” will get me through the night
I know you wont notice i think we’ll be alright
so every cracked mirror
and late night dinner
tastes like failure and looks like forever
and my eyes in winter don't ever sleep
but my hearts closed
and it isn't what id call closure.
another text will get me through the night
so every bathroom mirror
and late night dinner
tastes like failure and looks like forever
(and this is a break up song, just like the last one, where we almost broke through all the lost glances and missed chances idk about you but I still feel weird)
and I could never even guess the weight I put around yr neck
and we could never seem to see the light
but sitting in the port town waiting to talk things over
it just seems we might

things we achieve
02:17

i'm so sick of the words that come out of me
they’re all the same
and u don’t either wanna hear what I’ve got to say
all the shit that floats and grips
to the power at the top
they’re gonna rob us
one way or another
of our words
please can u hear me
playing at summer
got caught in the rain
ready to make bad dad jokes again
but these ones are different
& so are our friends
pretending to feel ok about unchanging things
like we know who we are
& the things we achieve
we know who we are
& the things we achieve
ive got a fear that sets off my teeth
that we aren’t long for this world
but the worst fear of them all
is that we are
look i can’t commit to no more calls
all their voices
ring the same
and just because u think im different
don’t mean ive changed
please can u hear me
playing at summer
got caught in the rain
ready to make bad dad jokes again
but these ones are different
& so are our friends
pretending to feel ok about unchanging things
like we know who we are
& the things we achieve
we know who we are
& the things we achieve
lined up like report cards
the words u hid behind at school
did u learn them too?
set my grief in fridge art
2 a degree i agree we’re fucked
(do u hear me)
we’re not the things we achieve
(but) we’re not just the things we achieve

the nod
02:35

my fathers hard on me
we’re in the same boat
we walk along the canal
cos its kind of remote
it doesnt need to come up
and be aired again
i can keep playing house
the sadness on yr sleeves
matches my backpack
there’s nothing helping me
in being proud of that
it needn’t be brought up
to be tested again
i can keep playing house
u dont have to
keep this up
u dont have to keep this up
my smallest nephew
also loves u too
the weathers better
when its predictable
but of all the days
we planned ahead then changed
i think i liked them the most
u dont have to
keep this up
u dont have to keep this up
u can bail out
just give the nod

i cannot run since i hurt my knee
i have been struggling
so most nights i have just stayed in
all of these rooms have worn 2-D
vein & bored
mind wandering
pause & consider my position
a sponge of soundbites
or some formed criticism
we are anxious i am going
im at my worst when they’re around
not that u purposely bring me down
but u dont need me
so leave me
my sadness is my own
i took a pause from what u need
and walked for half a day in broken straight lines, blistering
this town looks best when its asleep
for now absolved from everything
we walked the same route out of school
divisions left me dizzy
used the bench to break my fall
we are anxious, i am going
im at my worst when they’re around
not that u purposely bring me down
but u dont need me
so leave me
my sadness is my own
i have regrets, they are easy
last bolt out the gate - the certainty relieves me
it seems honesty is the light
cos at our age we all bring baggage
why did u come here
we’ve forgotten all the days and all the pacts
we are anxious, i am going
im at my worst when they’re around
not that u purposely bring me down
but u dont need me
so leave me
my sadness is my own

between buildings

between buildings
and yell downs
and drinks
that we pour down
the sink
the futile attempts
to try n monitor our drink-
in the morning
u look so exhausted
already
the fear of
am i blame
please don’t say im to blame
if u need a little longer
i will just wash up
and wait
for the next bakerloo
take the 2 stops with u -
u fidget
light itching
the sheets barely hold us in
u have
such a long list
can it
squeeze in with us
the lightness the darkness
the greys in between
on the 3rd floor u dropped thoughts
in sofa seams
and i wonder what left u
and found me like this
the lightness the darkness
the greys in between
on the top floor u pulled me
right at my seams
what would have left u
you’ll find me up here

looking at where u r from a great distance
is reassuring
u will leave here and the return trip
won’t need tricks
u can spend half yr life
trying to get it back, trying to get it back
or (how about) something more positive
it doesnt matter everything is free
we watched the sun rising from the sink
liberate my routine and then
PLEASE
CALL
HOME
killings just another form of dying [another way to go]
there are 14 different types of subscriptions you can try
adolescence interrupted generosity
but maybe srsly
i can spend all my time trying to get it back
trying to get it back
or how about something more positive
it doesnt matter everything is free
the dishes will pile up in the sink
liberate my routine and then
PLEASE
CALL
HOME
killings just another form of dying
looking at where u r from a great distance
liberate my routine
or how about something more positive

pick up yr things
this room is a mess
& u know what they say about what that says about u
remember that thread
we scrolled through all day
leant against u whilst u white wash my history
and no i didn’t run home when i said i was going to
i couldn’t face the mess id left
when my heads a mess too
im busy revolving around thoughts of u
douse yr linen in green
was it something i said?
but i didn’t say those same things that u said about me
im always half a mess
and yr bored of my face
but we didn’t undress in the right time and place
and no i didn’t run home when i said i was going to
i couldn’t face the mess id left
when my heads a mess too
im busy revolving around thoughts of u
it sorta makes a difference if yr victim to the distant between us
and those other kind of lovers
we didn’t even see it he just crept on up to fed himself
(u know) we aren’t different to those others
i shouldn’t beg to differ but im into this for selfish reasons
also, but u figured that first
and now yr leaving town
its intolerable
and no i didn’t run home when i said i was going to
i couldn’t face the mess id left
when my heads a mess too
im busy revolving around thoughts of u

wasn’t like that

wasn’t like that
do u know me
if i fight back
would u leave me
i can’t tell u
i can’t keep it in
can i show u
why I’m not leaving
time appeals when stuck in the same place
the shift is sickening apart
how about i leave out a new way
than i have left been before
ooh wa oh
and im so lost in the words u say
ooh wa oh
that i haven’t been listening
ooh wa oh
i will try a thousand more days
then i will split in two
