GLITTERBOMBED
It caught my eye
So I brushed my arm;
Just a speck of silver light
Trapped on the peak of my fingertip.
Just a speck of silver light,
Just a mote to know you by.
I’ve got glitter in my wounds
Since I was glitterbombed by you.
When I walk
Back from your house
I leave silver in my steps.
When I talk
And your words fall out
They’ve got silver on the edge,
Hang shining in the air.
I’ve got glitter in my wounds
Since I was glitterbombed by you
And I don’t mind.
What once was yours alone,
Now it’s mine.
I’ve got glitter in my wounds
Since I was glitterbombed by you
Now I sparkle when I move
‘Cause I’ve been glitterbombed by you
And I don’t mind.
What once was yours alone,
Now it’s mine.

Breach Of The Peace

BREACH OF THE PEACE
Maybe it’s the easiest way
If we just call it a day;
No more phone calls
That lead to late night brawls.
We don’t even have to pretend
That we’ll try to stay friends.
We’ll just walk back clothes
We left in each others’ homes
And say it’s nice to have known you.
There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
Before we cause a breach of the peace.
Before we cause a breach of the peace.
I could colour your lips
With a kiss
But it hurts too much,
Boy you’re driving me straight off a cliff;
So let me fall.
I don’t want to know that I won’t be awake
When you get home.
If I’ve got you
Then my God I want you.
There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
Before we cause a breach of the peace.
Before we cause a breach of the peace.
You won’t let me go.
You won’t let me love.
Do you need me?
Do you even see me?
There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
There’s no love left in this machine.
We both stopped operating months ago.
You know this cut is going to hurt like hell
But it’s what we need
Before we cause a breach of the peace
Before we cause a breach of the peace.
(I hope that someday
You know I never meant any harm)

THE MISTRESS
If you see me on the street
I don’t expect we’ll speak
But please acknowledge me
And don’t pretend we didn’t sleep
Entangled in the sheets
She washes every week
But don’t you worry
I won’t make a scene in front of her.
‘Cause I know you love me
Though not enough to leave
And I’m half praying
You would disappear to somewhere
I could never be.
No. I couldn’t let you go.
I’m forced to watch the show;
I bought the most expensive seats.
I’m here in the front row.

NERVE
Are you just a waste of my time?
Have I let it slip
Through your hands?
Are you just a waste of my time?
Is that all your have to say?
Well if you feel this way
Then throw me out
Because I’d rather that than waste any more of your time.
You don’t listen to anything
You don’t want to hear,
Well what am I to do?
Because I’m confused
And I love you.
Am I just a waste of your time?
Well if you feel like that then I’ll go now.
Because I’d rather that than waste any more of your time.
You don’t listen.
You don’t want to hear,
Well what am I to do?
Because I’m confused
And I love you.

LASTS, OR ESCHATON
Last night was the end of radio.
The last light went out on the last home stereo;
The last transmission to circle the earth
Was a song from the year of my father’s birth.
The singer could only see
As far as the girl next to him on the bench seat
And she was all that he could ever need.
Last night I lay in and I listened
To the last song sung on the dying airwaves.
My ambition to make something worth a listen
Snuffed out in an instant.
I could have told you that I’m just an infant
And the world ages faster with every breath
But she was all that he could ever need.
Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Only we know that we ever existed,
It’s our secret
So let’s keep it.
Last night was the end of radio;
The DJ said to think of all of the songs you used to know
And keep them safely in your head
‘Til you can sing them with someone who knows them.
You know the singer could only see
As far as the girl next to him on the bench seat
So you are all that I could ever need.
Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Cigarette smoke and a screen kiss.
Only we know that we ever existed,
It’s our secret
So let’s keep it.
