#01 The Mourning

I am circuit bent
I’m nothing but noise
I’m an oscillating frequency
I’m a wireless transmitter
I’m a faithful pinch hitter
I’m a bad 16-bit dither
I’m a broken drum machine
I’m an SK1 through Melodyne
I’m a distorted sinus-clone
I’m a carbon mic in a telephone
I’ve broken up my palatine bone
I’ve fucked up my retinal cone
I am circuit bent
I am circuit bent
I am circuit bent
I am circuit bent
I am circuit bent
And I’m patched up the wrong way

#02 When You Lean Back To Fight A War |
If you loose some, you just ship out some more
How a soldier dies we will never know
When the news we’re sold is told in a late-night show
When a skull is cracked and the insides lie here
When the ground is soaked with the remains of a boy
And the sky is lit up only by fire now
When you lean back to fight a war
When you lean back to fight a war
When the soldiers spouse breaks down in tears
When everyone you thought of here
Disappears one by one through death or through fear
When you lean back to fight a war
When you lean back to fight a war
When you lean back to fight a war
When a soldiers girl is left alone
When her home is where she can’t go
And the night is lit by fire now
When you lean back to fight a war

#03 Just Another Day |
Just another day
of love and cruelty
and our God sends his wishes
but they are not for me
and in the sparks of song
there’s a story
whispering, quite slowly
Just another day
that slowly, slowly fades
and our God sends his wishes
but they were never ment
for me
In the corner
dust and sunlight
tiny whirlwind, that
whirls untill morning
And I wonder baby
where have you gone
Just another day
that slowly turns to night
and our God sends his wishes
but they were never ment
for me

You can turn the tide

#05 Then Spring Exploded Into Light
|
And then winter came along
And then springtime came along
And then summer came along
And then autumn came along
And the first one whispering
and the second screaming
and the third one standing still
and then autumn came along
and the fourth one darkening
and then winter turns to spring
and then spring explodes in light
and then summer turns to night
and then autumn takes flight
and the first one sweeps the streets
and the second moves your feet
and then spring evaporate
into summer, but not late
after this it turns to grey
and then autumns here to stay
and then winter came along
and then winter came along
and then winter came along
And then winter came along
And then springtime came along
And then summer came along
And then autumn came along
And the first one whispering
and the second screaming
and the third one standing still
and then autumn came along
and the fourth one darkening
and then winter turns to spring
and then spring explodes in light
and then summer turns to night
and then autumn takes flight
and the first one sweeps the streets
and the second moves your feet
and then spring evaporate
into summer, but not late
after this it turns to grey
and then autumns here to stay
and then winter came along
and then winter came along
and then winter came along
and you
you put a record
on

#06 Don't Ever Think You'll Win
|
Don’t ever think you’ll win
‘cause, in the end she'll disappear
In the end she'll disappear
she'll go away
and then you'll think
that all you had
has gone
so
never think you'll win
If she does not leave you will
If she does not leave you will
You'll go away
and then she'll think
that all she had
is gone
so never think you'll win
never think you'll win
Oh, never think you'll win

#07 Up On Chrome Hill
|
Up on Chrome Hill
The long limestone slope
Upwards in the sky
Up on Chrome Hill
Up on Chrome Hill
Parkhouse to the right
Bows its head to this
Bows to Chrome Hill
There’s the green long plains
There’s the road to the shore
There’s the light
There’s the light
There’s the light in the upper Dove valley
There’s the withered road
There’s the wind, and she blows
There’s the wind and she blows
Us right off our feet this day
Up on Chrome Hill
Up on Chrome Hill
Up on Chrome Hill

#08 Skullduggery |
Another one lets out his last breath
and you, you watch a dragonfly
Another one lets out his last breath
and you, you watch a dragonfly
that lives by the light
ah yeah, that lives by the light
and then the morning shines through
uh, and then the morning shines through
Another one lets out his first cry
and you, you watch a dragonfly
Oh and another one lets out his first cry
and you watch a dragonfly
That dies by the bulb
ah yeah, that dies by the bulb
and then the porchlight flickers on
and then the porchlight flickers on
: // :
when an old meat slicer is used on an arm
and when a fingernail is used as a good luck charm
and when a pile of old bones is your means to keep warm
ah when the night turned out a silver storm
when the boiler-plate bed slowly descends and
when you’re told that this is done by a group of your friends
and when the heat burns off and your mind transcends
when the heat burns off and your mind trandscends
when the world is all busy with skullduggery
and when the people that do it are you and me
ah when the secret is kept and a lie is sold
when the only thing to have is a coin of gold
when we wake up from our worst nightmare
just to realize that we ‘re still here
when we pinch our arm and beg to awaken
when we pinch our arm and beg to awaken
