Fly Big Balloon Fly to the moon And I’ll wait here on the ground Fly Big Balloon Fly to the moon And I’ll wait here on the ground Rolling in the clouds Thunder rings so loud Let my wings dry out And I’ll wait here Fly Big Balloon

Friends are nice To have around Friends are nice To have in your house Friends are not like carpet Old and dusty Not made for walking all over Cause that’s what I learned from my father He said “Keep your enemies closer” Friends are nice To have around Friends that have a shed And a big house Friends can store your belongings Old and dusty I’ll keep them forever and ever I’ll keep floating down like a feather Cause friendship makes everything better Friends are nice To have around Friends are nice To have around Friends are nice So you don’t have to fight So you don’t have to fight So you don’t have to Don’t have to Don’t have to fight Friends are nice To have around Friends are nice To have around Friends are nice So you don’t have to fight So you don’t have to fight So you don’t have to Don’t have to Don’t have to fight Friends are nice Friends are nice Friends are nice Friends are nice Friends are nice Friends are nice Friends are nice Nice

Seconds 04:42
Low down Closer to the ground Sweet in all the memories Sliding Arms down my sleeve Now I’ve got the time to breathe When they cut the lights out I’ll bleed down my arm But I won’t be there to feel it I’ll be rolling round warm Like a baby in a womb Or desert bones buried in a tomb So can you keep the lights on Just for a second Just for a second Just for a second Can you keep the dice spinning Just for a second Just for a second Just for a second High up Safe aboard my little ship I sail on into the reef Hanging On by a thread A thread of blood A thread of blood inside of me When they cut the lights out I’ll bleed down my arm But I won’t be there to feel it I’ll be rolling round warm Like a baby in a womb Or desert bones buried in a tomb So can you keep the lights on Just for a second Just for a second Just for a second Can you keep the dice spinning Just for a second Just for a second Just for a second

Transcribe 06:10
Unfold the night Like a black chequered board All the light That could be glowing Curled up and stored Like a ball Never thrown Too far From home Stop on the way To find the words In your head Darkness fades The gate is open The flock ran and fled Back to bed Always warm Not too far Never gone The sounds Came so clear But I can’t play What I hear I will be there By your bedside I wanna see you When your eyes cry But if I feel The need to hide You can speak and I will transcribe And the sounds Came so clear But I can’t play What I hear I will be there By your bedside I wanna see you When your eyes cry But if I feel The need to hide You can speak and I will transcribe

Crumble 04:40
Do I Really want this? The brick gets stuck In all the houses And you can’t just send the baby back in So I’ll probably fall asleep And forget all about it Do I have to block up every leak When it comes down like a fountain? Drinking Every day now These walls are crashing And I can’t get out Cause when everything starts caving in I don’t know how to keep from being quiet When I start to open up my mouth The words tumble down And then they crumble So I’ll probably fall asleep And forget all about it Do I have to block up every leak When it comes down like a fountain?

Sitting down in the heat The fan is on in my kitchen The things crawl in through the doors They’re open wide so come inside Open up the fridge again Still filled up with the same old things Lettuce, pickles, leg of ham I just want choccy don’t you understand We are the kids So where’s our mum and dad? They sell, sell, sell all day long And don’t have time for much else No time off but they’ve got bread To give a bakery inferiority complex The bins go out Tuesday night It’s garbage trucks in the morning light When everyone’s snakes in the tall, tall grass We’re down here dressed just like bare shins Cause we are the kids So where’s our mum and dad? We are the kids So where’s our mum and dad? We are the kids So where’s our mum and dad?

Lemons 03:27
I jumped the back fence And my arms were quick I’m moving fast Yes I’m moving fast You know I’m moving I saw the black dog And it looked like he had human teeth He had human teeth He was human Lemons to the people Lemons for all Lemons to the people Lemons for all Lemons to the people Lemons for all Lemons to the people Lemons for all involved My heart was pounding So I stuffed the lemons in my bag I stuffed em in my bag I stuffed em in my But grandma saw She was screaming from the windowsill Yeah she’s screaming still She started screaming Lemons to the people Lemons for all Lemons to the people Lemons for all Lemons to the people Lemons for all Lemons to the people Lemons for all involved Description of a lemon: They are round and fragrant Great for zesting Great for eating And when you take them by the hand to the gate They say please Please come with me And when someone takes your lemon Takes it round the back Takes it through the alleyway Takes it up the roller door A lemon will grind It will grind and grind and grind and grind until Until it bursts Bursts into flames Bursts into a thousand suns Bursts into the power that you know not But I know of Because I have seen the lemon I’ve seen the lemon thief I’ve seen it wandering around these parts Lemons Lemons Lemons for all Lemons
