Put your lips together, make a consonant, make a vowel, k k k k k k come on talk
Make a syllable, make a sentence, come on use the muscle, k k k k k k come on talk
You do not fit into the mold, well that is good so k k k k k k come on talk
I`m an alien, you`re an alien, we are aliens so k k k k k k come on talk
If it does not come naturally then you will have to work harder initially
but then you can reap all the joys of camaraderie and see you are not alone

We strike our scythes to the grass
Each of us carves a path
Sometimes back breaking
Sometimes merry merry making
kaka koko kaka koko kaka koko kaka koko ee-yay ee-yay-i-o
Our paths might meet some others
Then we`ll carve one but wider
Sometimes back breaking
Sometimes merry merry making
kaka koko kaka koko kaka koko kaka koko ee-yay ee-yay-i-o
Music always helps us on our way
So we sing songs for the light
We sing songs for the dark of our days
kaka koko kaka koko kaka koko kaka koko ee-yay ee-yay-i-o
We strike our scythes to the grass
Each of us carves a path
Sometimes back breaking
Sometimes merry merry making

What have you made?
Oh what have you made?
You`ve been working all weekend up in the attic
And I ask you
That`s just what I do
And you are silent then just pointing at what you made
And it`s good, always good
Oh you`re good
How I like you
Oh how I like you!
And I`m bursting with words
And I`m bursting with words
Not poetry not poetry but I shower you all the same
And you take it in your stride
Oh how d`you stay so calm?
You you you you`re sitting over what you made
Oh how d`you stay so calm?
And it`s good, always good
Oh you`re good
How I like you
Oh how I like you!

I`ll carry you over bridges under rainy bypasses
I am your home
Home
You don`t know what calendar year we are in but you do know, you do know, you do know
I am you home
Home
And you don`t know what we humans do but what you do know is, you do know, you do know
I am you home
Home
So I`ll carry you across city boundaries and across greenbelts, greenbelts, greenbelts

Rachael Dadd - Our Arms
03:52
|

Water is cascading through every crack and every crevice in the house
And now the chairs and record player they are floating pirouettes with the piano
Oh no
well
I take the stairs two at a time
You take the stairs three at a time
You are the first to reach the baby
Now we`re up on the roof with the crying baby in our arms
With all signs and landmarks submerged our instincts are redundant in this wilderness
And as noone made a map or apparatus there`ll be no intervention
We scramble up right to the top
Where in the script can we get off?
You help me up onto the chimney stack
Now there`s nowhere to go and the crying baby`s in our arms
Our arms
Our arms
Our Arms

Darling fossil I was incarcerated wood long before I was a girl
Matter moves matter and moves it again and it really is not up to us
Is it?
But now don`t we find we have independent thought
Unless that`s just an illusion
And are these modern objects brought here to baffle us?
Well I, I really can not drive them
All these cars and motorbikes
Blood is gushing from a stone
Once we were stone upon stone upon stone
Long ago
Darling fossil I was incarcerated wood long before I was a girl
Salt and oil, chlorophyll long before you were a boy
But now don`t you find you have independent thought
Unless that`s just an illusion
I see you`re flexing the muscle of these modern machines
but are you really fit to drive them?
All these ships and factories
What kind of alchemy are these?
Once we were stone upon stone upon stone
stone
long
ago

Rachael Dadd - Wake It
02:58
|
|||
Brown boots two boots waiting on the platform
Blood bled, blood bleeds, blood it waits for a beautiful storm
to take it, shake it rid of the dead skin
Shake it, wake it whatever the form it comes in
And maybe I`m ready to stop being a child
Well time`s long, time`s been long and time has been kind
ooh na na na na na now
ooh na na na na na now
Brown boots, many boots walking to the crumbling castle walls
where millions of other boots they have trodden this path before us
After the storm the river it swells and comes flowing past
back from a time when we would have all been forced to grow up fast
And maybe I`m ready to stop being a child
Well time`s long, time`s been long and our time has been kind
Give us responsibilities that we`re due now
ooh na na na na na now
ooh na na na na na now
We can open these, we can open these wing`s we`ve been given

Rachael Dadd - Three
03:44
|
|||
What everything boils down to is the co-ordinates of
molecules at a specific point in time and here we are
here we are
here we are
You and me we danced in the fallopian and now we`re three
A single point of light one in a billion and now we`re three
three three three
All of this is cause to celebrate
Put on your tap shoes and rotate
The points of light will resonate
Our molecules will stay up late stay up late
Here-i-e-i-e we resonate
You and me we danced in the fallopian and now we`re three
A single point of light one in a billion and now we`re three
three three three
All of this is cause to celebrate
Put on your tap shoes and rotate
three three three
Points of light will bounce and resonate
Our molecules will stay up late
three three three

All aboard the cactus train
The cost of our thrills reveals itself a shame
While the makers and designers tap the sap
for the majority the likelyhood`s a spike in the front, a spike in the back
Who of them have won?
Who of them have won?
What is going on?
Who of them are strong?
Who did wrong first?
Who did wrong first?
One of them did wrong
Two of them did wrong
Three of them did wrong
Three of them had done wrong
Six of them joined in nine of them did wrong
Nine of them had done wrong twelve more joined in
More will do wrong but who will do right first?
Crickets in the sun chirp their thirst
Deprive them of the sun, keep them silent
While the makers and designers tap the sap
for the majority the likely hood`s a spike in the front, a spike in the back
Who of them have won?
Who of them have won?
What is going on?
Who of them are strong?
Who did wrong first?
Who did wrong first?
One of them did wrong
Two of them did wrong
Three of them did wrong
Three of them had done wrong
Six of them joined in nine of them did wrong
Nine of them had done wrong twelve more joined in
More will do wrong but who will do right first?

All the women of the world of the world
Come together take over take over
If you don`t then the world will come to an end
And it wont take long

You should know that I wont mind whatever it is that you need to do
Then we can rise above all of these buildings
And when we fall back down it can be the right place
ta ta ta ta ta to to ta to ta ta ta ta to ta
Let it rise
Let it fall

Rozi Plain - Cold Tap
03:30

It will take twice as long
If you don't turn it all the way on, its a cold tap
Some left us, some left us right
Caught up in the same places at night

Rozi Plain - Humans
03:35
|
|||
Last night we crossed a road, we were being followed
Over and under, holding out for an other
Emptied and ready this time, arriving on time this time
Humans been working, humans get working...
Saw you again today, and we hurried to leave again
He was bills and I was bills, we were on our own in that way
Humans been working, humans get working...
Busted your stuff up good, we are rude like we know we should
Bashed it in and handed it back, look pal I think that it's time you had
Humans been working, humans get working...

Following you home, eating in your home
You're never on your own, you're always not on your own
Don't spend too much time working out how it could work out fine..
Telling you in the night, sleeping in the night
You've come to understand this, you've now come to understand
Don't spend too much time working out how it could work out fine..
Nothing could beat this, nothing but the newness..
Don't spend too much time working out how it could work out fine..
You've come to understand this you've now come to understand

Rozi Plain - Slices
02:30
|
|||
How right is, your cupboard when it's full of life and slices
When if ever again, are they coming here to count back one to ten?
Both agreed, we're both agreed it's pointless
That shelf up there, that table there are worthless
But he knows me, he knows me and my type
And he knows the steps, he knows the steps I like
How right is, your cupboard when its full of life and slices..

Rozi Plain - I Know
02:45
|

I know I act like I know you well
But don't you think that we might as well?
What have you gotten used to?
I know I act like I know you well
But don't you think that we might as well?

Rozi Plain - See My Boat
03:26
|
|||
So many practices I made, I did it anyway
You know I'd been up all night? I'd been up all night
I think I pissed them off today
Pretty sure I pissed them off today
Come up here you can see my boat you can see my boat
Lets go up here to see if we can see my boat
I nearly didn't get home
He said amazing, oh gosh he said amazing

Rozi Plain - Take It
03:49
|
|||
Fair way to ask
You cannot take if you will not make it
You cannot make if you will not take it
Slow burner
They could know you well they might know you well
They might know you well they could know you well
Stop stop stop...like you should do
You cant give them a thing they did not want you to bring
Beauty beauty beauty
There's nobody near me there never was

Rozi Plain - Catch Up
03:32
|
|||
Did we catch up did we catch up like we though we would?
We are joined sometimes unjoined and loose
I've been thinking about you sometimes talking about you
We are joined sometimes unjoined and loose
We are caught at great distances we are caught up close
We are joined sometimes unjoined and loose
We are letting it on slowly how well I know you or you might know me
We are joined sometimes unjoined and loose
We are eating it slowly how I might eat you or you might eat me
We are joined sometimes unjoined and loose

Rozi Plain - Sides
02:51
|
|||
Body of water, body of work
You can't feel the sides you were built the wrong size
Body of water, body of work
She's had them before she'l probably have more
You've been on the ground, you've always been round..

Very much in love, sometimes very much in love
Days, minutes, seconds, very much in love
Surprised every day, I'm surprised every day
By the way we behave, surprised every day
Trying my whole life, been trying my whole life to say
That things don't do or turn, the way we think they might
Risk it, risk it, risk it, risk it
Very much in love, sometimes very much in love
Days minutes seconds, very much in love
