Politics 02:18
In the corners of a greasy spoon Or in a train station waiting room We never talk politics We just sit there and check the phone We worry that we’re missing The things that really matter to us So I try and make contact But you never play footsie I want to feel a closeness And in your eyes I know there’s something you miss And I really like your outfit But it’s just too early to say We’ll never talk politics We’ll just hold hands by the TV And I start getting serious I’ll dream of all the things we won’t do And it hinges on an action But we don’t dare to make the wrong move You say I don’t say enough but I worry that I say too much I listen to my instinct But I feel something holding me back I’m not some weirdo I just want to get to know what you’re like It’s the 21st century Does there have to be the questions? And I feel it should be easy But I see you’re just as fucked up as me You say I don’t say enough but I worry that I say too much

seconds 03:42
Let’s pretend it’s the 80s, let worry slip away We’ll get lost in all the future plans That the school wanted us to dream about But let’s pretend we’re rock stars planning our escape 7.30 on a Thursday night We’ll be under the balloons and lights...just wait How’d we even get here? I say, Just look at me, 1-2-3, where’ve I been? If you mention time...Then I really don’t know what it means Looking back at photos.. I say, just look at me, 1-2-3, who’ve I been? And It’s getting late so I really gotta go and find 'me' We could be immortalised and leave a legacy But we focus on the TV screen And we let the evenings pass us by There’s a new reality and we really don’t belong And the mirror only lets us down It’s revealing all we hoped was wrong (chorus) I really gotta go I really gotta go and find me I really gotta go and find myself (The sky has turned from blue to grey)

Opening your eyes (you want a new perspective) You need a taste of something (there must be something better) Getting out of bed (another day of nothing) You need to stop the shaking (nothing’s not the answer) Waiting for the sign - the answers on the pavement Never catch an eye you know there’s always danger Looking for a taste the world has lost its flavour You’re holding on for comfort Taking in the drink (you’re savouring the nectar Get a new confidence (there’s nobody to touch you) Making you seem alert (everything is perfect) Making you so alive (everybody notices) Doing all the things you never could imagine Breaking all the rules – you’re like a new person Finding out the things you thought were uncertain You’re holding on for comfort You cannot function with their lies Just trying to make it through This modern world that takes your energy You will not fit in with their mind Just trying to make it through This modern world that takes your energy You’ve got a new addiction New ways to calm your mind No longer need to listen No one to waste your time (chorus) Where’s your energy? Real life wastes your energy Real life wastes your energy Just trying to make it through This modern world that takes your energy

Mrs. Peacock 03:01
In a place you don’t expect She will be right at your service It’s a marital regret But she understands your purpose She smells your weakness as you let her in You try to know her but you won’t get in She will always be discreet Understands a reputation She will sweep you off your feet It’s a part of her vocation She knows your history, you let her in You try to know her but you won’t get in Spending hours in the dining room Smell the flowers in the drawing room You’re tied up and it isn’t what you asked for A new life in the living room You want to end it in the bedroom Time’s up and she isn’t what you asked for. You are just another part In her 9-5 collection She will never show her heart Plays her role with such perfection She shows a smile and you let her in You try to know her but you won’t get in (chorus) You never planned it, now she’s taking advantage And this new behaviour...they never expect She’s like a model but she’s changing your morals And this new behaviour...they never expect You’re a peacock in everything but beauty

Watching films from my childhood...they make me nervous Watching girls at the cocktail bar...they make me nervous I never thought I had a crisis until you told me the truth And all the things I believed because nobody ever told me the truth I never thought it was a crisis but there was nothing to do And I never moved on because I worried there was nothing to do Live a life on non-communication When I open up you never listen Just another day going round and round Who is right who is wrong when nobody wants to tell me the truth I find it so hard to exist cause nobody ever told me the truth I never thought it was a crisis but you gave me the proof And when I took a step backwards I saw that I was nothing to you Live a life on non-communication When I open up you never listen Just another day going round and round Conversations on the phone...they make me nervous reading things between your lines... they make me nervous
