Ramona 04:14
You’re a sight to behold, Dressed yourself in red and gold, a ribbon in your hair I’m impressed, your smile it never seems to lessen No one else would ever guess you wish to be elsewhere Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder How does it feel, to know that they’re all gone? How does it feel to know you’re on your own? Looking back, you really should’ve seen this coming You’d cry wolf, we’d all come running right into the fold And now, no one listens to the words you’re saying You refuse to rearrange them just because you’re told Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder How does it feel, to know that they’re all gone? How does it feel to know you’re on your own? Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder Ramona, Forever looking o’er your shoulder How does it feel, to know that they’re all gone? How does it feel, to know that they’re all gone? How does it feel, to know that they’re all gone? How does it feel to know you’re on your own?

I am a prodigal son, Caught up in the web I have spun I’m spent, I’m done Like a tide to the sands, With my head in my hands I come home Peel back my scars And strip down all my parts Rebuild, restart From the last layer in, Patch me up from my skin to my heart Build me well, and build me strong For I’ll be gone again before too long So build me well, and build me strong For I’ll be gone again before too long Take me into your arms Take the weight of my form Take away all my worries and calm all my storms Give me firm ground beneath Give me more room to breathe Give me somewhere to stay and something to leave I’ll come back when I’m tattered and torn For further repairs when I’m beaten and worn So build me strong For I’ll be gone again before too long Build me well, and build me strong For I’ll be gone again before too long Build me well, and build me strong For I’ll be gone again before too long If it’s not much to ask you to right all my wrongs While I’m down build me up, build me well, Build me strong

The ground is groaning with the thunder of their feet And all the noises of their hunger fill the street They make the harvest wither They’ll shake the stars out of the sky Their crying floods the rivers Their thirst’ll drink the oceans dry And with every step, The whispers spread They’ll grind our bones to make their bread You sowed the magic beans You saw the seedlings rise You stole the golden goose and kept it by your side You spun a hero’s tale You thought your work was done D’you hear the giants coming? Fee fi fo fum You’ll never keep them down They’ll never go away Your words are small and they grow bigger every day You’ll have to change your tune Or justify your crown Before their footsteps leave your walls all fallen down Cos with every step Your plan’s reveal That you grind our bones For every meal You sowed the magic beans You saw the seedlings rise You stole the golden goose and kept it by your side You spun a hero’s tale You thought your work was done D’you hear the giants coming? You sowed the magic beans You saw the seedlings rise You stole the golden goose and kept it by your side You spun a hero’s tale You thought your work was done D’you hear the giants coming? Fee fi fo fum Fee fi, fee fi fo Fee fi, fee fi fo Fee fi, fee fi fo Fee fi, fee fi fo fum

Kindling 03:55
I’m a restless soul Heart too young and head too old My armour’s quick Acres wide and inches think And I’m used too my alone time And I’m used too my alone time, alone time Here’s a restless match Out of the box and ready to catch A real bright spark With a flame that lights the darkest dark and My knees are knocking something fierce Cos she’s got deep deep pockets full of dangerous ideas But I’m sick of my alone time I’m sick of my alone time, alone time You can see that I’ve been feeling cold And I know a flame like this would warm my soul Won’t let it burn out on it’s own Now there’s no time for umms and ahs Cos oh, I feel it kindling Was never one to play with fire I’m far too careful to get burned, burned, burned But now I’m sweating on this pyre It’s spreading everywhere I turn, turn, turn And so the fire is growing strong But I know I wasn’t made to burn this long And as it’s getting out of hand I start to understand that all I am is kindling Was never one to play with fire I’m far too careful to get burned, burned, burned But now I’m sweating on this pyre It’s spreading everywhere I turn, turn, turn

Assemble my scientists, And bring your accessories We’ll all settle down for a night Of amateur chemistry We’ll line all the benches with bottles and glass, Beakers, containers, and flat-bottomed flasks Mix liquids in marvellous ways, And record the results Experimenting oh so boldly, But these findings are for our eyes only We’ll guard these formulas We’ve tested all solutions here Subjected them to every diagnostic Developed o’er the course of years Preeminent in all things clear and caustic Too dry, too sweet Too strong, too weak Too rich, too steep to last a whole night Two drops, two sips Two more… And now we’re feeling tipsy Experimenting oh so boldly, But these findings are for our eyes only We’ll guard these formulas

You say you’re going home You’ve been away too long You’ll see the sights and breathe the air And hear familiar songs Never wrote a letter But you know they’ll understand Cos the roads are all still stitched Across the backside of your hand Be careful son, cos everyone moves one You sent the word to all your friends, The people you once knew And you’re sure the girl you used to love Is still in love with you You found her picture And you put it in a frame You’ll forget you left them And you’ll act like nothing’s changed You got some nerve, but everyone moves on And you’ve never wanted less But you’ve never asked for more Cos the wheels keep turning and the wheels keep turning Round and round and round and round they go
And it’s always been so I heard that you went home And it wasn’t what you thought The roads had different names And you just kept on getting lost Your friends were busy, Living stories of their own And the girl you used to love Had changed the number of her phone I’m sorry son, but everyone moves on I’m sorry son, but everyone moves on I warned you son, now it’s time that you moved on
