I'm So Cool 02:24
Hi! Is this the venue? Can I begin? I'm good to wing it I'm a professional I lost my bearings a moment there I'm never present anywhere Glasses in the dusty city I'm so cool Glasses are for my protection Ooh I have named my cat Spaghetti I'm so cool Strike out in the wrong direction Ooh Bring me the head of all daffodils I'll wage my war on windowsills Going undercover it's not for me If I recover then we'll see Glasses in the dusty city I'm so cool Glasses are for my protection Ooh I have named my cat Spaghetti I'm so cool Strike out in the wrong direction Ooh

1984 Bury me in expectation 1984 So long! 1989 Pushing love underneath the nation 1989 So long! Forever on the side By the steps Under the slide With you inside my mind I could live in every line Take me for a ride In your clothes I feel alive Somebody can write me down 2009 Join the dots, city is shaking 2009 So long! 2016 Give it up for girls forsaken 2016 So long! Forever on the side By the steps Under the slide With you inside my mind I could live in every line Take me for a ride In your clothes I feel alive Somebody can write me down The bell ring The door swing The headlights Here we go

Name Again 02:06
What was that name again? Is that with an 'e'? Can I see some ID? You can't use that pedal here! Don't make me laugh! Mister 'everybody-look-at-me'! Can't walk down the street in London (well, I can) I'm the invisible man Just take that hat off, man Don't be a baby Oh don't take it that way! Oh did you play tonight? Yeah you were great(!) Well I don't need to say Can't walk down the street in London (well, I can) I'm the invisible man Can't walk down the street in London (well yeah alright, I can) I'm the invisible man Fifteen minutes Fourteen minutes Thirteen minutes Twelve minutes Eleven minutes Ten minutes Nine minutes Eight minutes Seven minutes Six minutes Five minutes Four minutes Three minutes Two minutes One minute Zero minutes Bye.

Trying to do something right I'm throwing petrol on a fire And I don't really want to fight Come on A fear of corridors open at both ends I got fourteen minutes to make amends In this comedy of common sense Come on Speaker backed Severed lip You're just shooting from the hip All my money to the floor Promise from my unhinged jaw If I could have been like you I'd have haunted myself too Yeah All out

Well! Done by the river she pulled on my hand Gave me a camera Said "go to town!" I capture passerby I capture clouds Like I think I'm Man Ray Are you down? If this is flirting then give me the lens! you get the drinks I'll set the mise en scène! Back of the garden I hung off her arm Spun with the dragonflies unalarmed She caught me sleeping there She got me home She never leaves me out on my own (and that's ok!) If this is flirting then give me the lens! you get the drinks I'll set the mise en scène! If this is just for now and Summer ends thanks for the drinks you filled my mise en scène!

Yeah! Uh-huh! Alright! 1, 2, 3! If your ship is going down I am coming round pushing randomly at buttons! We are made of light I think I said that right? I think I'm tangled in your curtains! If I am a dog you can be my God we can click along the pavement You can wear my shoes and we can never lose whichever galaxy we're saving! Let's stay this way forever Kick the world and make it better Find a corner we can go Let the curtain fall whenever We'll just leave for somewhere better Take my hand and off we go I'm a beat up shirt dragged along the dirt you just slid out of the washer! We can swap our spit attract as opposites and nobody can ever stop us! Dance me down the hill lean in for the kill shove me through the rhododendrons! Wrap around my hand and catch me as I land a sappy note for me to end on Let's stay this way forever Kick the world and make it better Find a corner we can go Let the curtain fall whenever We'll just leave for somewhere better Take my hand and off we go Yeah! Alright! Uh-huh! 1, 2, 3, 4! Let's stay this way forever Kick the world and make it better Find a corner we can go Let the curtain fall whenever We'll just leave for somewhere better Take my hand and off we go

Lawn Fire 02:50
Focus. Morning. Put on dress Walk to window reassess Walk the garden, shaded lines Rubbing petrol into eyes Shoving splinters into hand This is head buried in sand Nothing good can come of this Wheezing air, animal piss This is the bed that I have made I am never unafraid I cannot walk into a room Without impending sense of doom You said it sounded so cliché So why not take me far away? Model village, model thinking makes Drive me to the outer limits Don't return until I've gone Empty out my every pocket Run until there's nothing wrong Firing the lawn for winter Smoking in the hazy dawn Bury me behind the shimmer Keep the weary moving on My unrest My heart

Loft Space 04:30
Loft space Get paid to do my thing Loft space I thought of everything Loft space I call this one 'Kevin' Loft space I am the state you're in Loft space I'm making history Loft space I know you've heard of me Loft space My fellow mannequins Loft space Are holding court again Loft space I shrug and hits come out Loft space I'm all they write about Loft space They live on my expense Loft space It's only common sense And if you were me you would want them to see All the plates I've washed in hate And if you were me you would want them to see All the plates I've washed in hate In the loft space Loft space You're in my way again Loft space You hang off everything Loft space Did you get your free pen? Loft space I've got a second collection down in the village! You should come sometime! And if you were me you would want them to see All the plates I've washed in hate And if you were me you would want them to see All the plates I've washed in hate In the loft space Loft space Out of phase In the loft space

I wear the same clothes as everybody else I formed a band with myself I sing the same songs as everybody else I need a word with myself Listen idiot, it's not that bad You're the best kind of you they've ever had Listen idiot, you're not that great But is that any reason to get in a state? Listen idiot, you may degrade Like a second hand thermos spilling lemonade Listen idiot, I might be wrong but I think I like your song! I have the same thoughts as everybody else I hold the door for myself I dance the same way as everybody else So I've got the floor to myself Listen idiot, it's not that bad You're the best kind of you they've ever had Listen idiot, you're not that great But is that any reason to get in a state? Listen idiot, you may degrade Like a second hand thermos spilling lemonade Listen idiot, I might be wrong but I think I like your song! GO! Wear the same clothes! Form the same bands! Sing the same songs! Wear the same clothes! And form the same bands! Sing the same songs!

Back Seat 06:56
In the back seat The windows pass me by In the taxi I hear the city cry Sail the driveways Slide the streetlit nights All the glass animals upon the dashboard sigh In the back seat Of the taxi If you ask me I'll take the quiet life Give your love and then you never sleep again In the backseat The windows pass me by In the taxi Through the glow of life Chart the way on Leave the lights on All the glass animals upon the dashboard sigh Give your love and then you never sleep again Orange through the night and no one's getting in

about

On August 7th 2018 I posted a track listing for an imaginary album on my Facebook wall. Because I am a massive idiot I of course had to then go and write, record and release that album!

It's not quite as fast a turnaround as Lovin' The Time Of Collar, Huh? but ten days isn't bad!

Anyway, this is a good time rattling summer record with all the mistakes left in because it's more fun that way! GO!

released August 17, 2018

Rob did everything apart from the picture on the album cover, which Jenni Britton took and added the lines and Z's to, because she's a genius.

Naughty Cat and Eddie assure you that no cat was harmed in the making of this album.
