Girlfriend Material 02:21
lyrics

Back when you believed in punk You were milestones ahead and drunk Drowning in raw material And nothing to work with So it didn't work at all I can tell that you’ve made it through Learned the craft and forgot the rules You've got the skills, you've got the tools But nothing to work with Babe I’m all you've got to lose And nothing to work with I'm a pretty poor excuse But I'm not Girlfriend material And nothing to work with Babe, I'm trying too hard too I can I feel you stalling And I want the same as you But I'm not Girlfriend material

Gilgamesh 03:29
lyrics

You can't run from your feet You can’t spy on your eyes You can't chew your teeth But you can live your life You could corner the gods Make them turn out their pockets And go through their receipts And look for the lie You can scream about it And die screaming You can cry about it And die crying

Love Song 03:33
lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't need to explain things I don't need to say There's nothing to go over Nothing to keep at bay There's nothing to escape from Nothing to get over [Chorus 1] Oh It feels like Love's a simple element It's absolutely everywhere There's nothing there It's real like To name it is to condescend And if I try to find the end There's nothing there [Verse 2] I don't need to explain when We do it every day, there's Nothing to think over There's not a debt to pay It’s not going away There's nothing to go over [Chorus 2] It’s real like To doubt it is a fantasy And should I push away it goes Around the world and back to me It feels like The world is black and white again I might be just attracted, then Around the track and back again

Green Wonders 02:48
lyrics

[Verse 1] Go outside and look around Get your jaw back off the ground You never knew Oh, green wonders line the sky [Verse 2] The wind across your face is cool Ride your bike downhill to school They dance for you Oh, green wonders rushing by The dull, jade clouds were such a lie You make out every single leaf Beyond belief [Verse 3] And on the playground, sure you heard Sarcastic voice, "nice glasses, nerd" That's all you need Oh, white knuckles on your hand [Verse 4] You’ll end it if he wants to start Teachers rush, pull you apart Begin to bleed Oh, red droplets in the sand There are things he'll never understand You make out every single tear They're everywhere

She is the One 02:25
lyrics

[Verse 1] It's dull and blotchy - three sessions to go Laser removal is expensive you know I'm in no hurry, don't remove it too fast Who wants a future with a girl with no past? [Chorus 1] Misstepped her way right through my door She is the one for sure She's seen it all three times before She is the one [Verse 2] She's got stories like you wouldn't believe She's got ways I didn't know that I need The blushing fades but experience lasts Who wants a future with a girl with no past? [Chorus 2] Misstepped her way right through my door She is the one for sure She's seen it all three times before She is the one Misstepped her way right through my door She is the one for sure She's seen it all three times before She is the one

Popperuuu 02:56

[Verse 1] With streets this clean you know the sewers are running full It's not down to respect or dignity, that's bull Stop talking for them, please You don't even speak Japanese, you just make shit up You just make shit up [Verse 2] They're not submissive in real life, you know But by all means, pack up your sword and go It's pathetic that all it took Was for them to draw comic books that you'd like to fuck Before you say that we're stuck In a place without culture [Verse 3] You say you know what a sunset is But in your mind, that old red disc Beats the horizon Rising

Every moment is so small They rain and I Don't know where to begin When I try to sense it all I feel my heart And mind start to give in Wish you knew The way that you Narrow it down for me If I could tell you what you are The big bang Dozing off on my arm Love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love Wish you knew The way that you Narrow it down for me Down for me For me Down for me Love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love

Hey, Rebecca 03:06

[Verse 1] The you I see is not the you That your reflection wakes up to The you I love is hidden, barely visible 'cause I see through the surface Unlike most I am not that impressed By blonde hair and outspokenness I'm not the rest [Chorus 1] I never really met the rest But I assume that they exist Drooling over Alexandra Like they would You know the type I'm writing this to let you know That each and every time I go I see a little more of me And more of you In both our lives [Verse 2] I met you in a record store The line stretched on way out the door Forgot to bring you something you could sign for me My student bus pass had to do Got thirteen seconds there with you A raised eyebrow and tired smile A tiny smile [Chorus 2] I'm writing this to tell you how I've seen it seven times by now And it seems too good to be true Just like you do Despite the hype I never really met the rest But I assure you they exist Drooling over Alexandra Like they would You know the type
