The Joy Formidable

Is that the long Is that the long goodbye? That's just the one That's just the one you'll find Cut from the waste, You cut from the weak side It goes to waste It goes to waste You make the call So make the call shorter You break the spell I'll make t...

Here we are, bending feet In the dark before dreamless sleep Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze Throws you in the dark Happiness it won't last long And this child behind stores it all The failed man's curse and the cost Of nonchalance Thank you sly w...

You're young and your spirit's not broken I rest in the eyes where I see myself back I'm a shape in the shadow of your free dreaming All these shapes, all these arrows to the places I've been Move aside This town where I gloss the walls of failing Soak...

Do I miss What I can't get right It brings me down, down for a long time Then you leave in a sunny way And I'm at the window, willing you to wave You think you're caught And I know it's sad But the absence is all we had Do I miss The sentimental pur...

Little lists and scraps that keep me moving Another meal and play that song to pick you up Over time you think the days lose colour Don't sound tired by the promises All in all there's something missing All in all there's something you can do I won't pl...

Little Angelfuck It's a shame that luck is the only thing Did you like the fun Did you like the times that I promised you Open wounds on your brow Little angel in red She isn't loving you anymore Little Angelfuck I see you going down on a fireplug L...

Do you remember a guy that's been In such an early song I've heard a rumour from Ground Control Oh no, don't say it's true They got a message from the Action Man I'm happy. I hope you're happy, too. I've loved. All I've needed: love. Sordid details fol...

See the mad or reverse, This hope is not lost, Is this cheap to turn, Your ship to send off. Puppets and gowns, A run side this town, I'd rescue you now, But I know that you'll drown, And this again. Oh Austere, Bay by my side, You Austere, Pure and no sound...

The ideal is the fuel from spirited life I’m ideal, just a thought if it’s wrong or right Pull us in, pull us close and then pull ahead Don’t be told, don’t let it go, don’t say it’s something you said But sing it down like we’re clothes on a panoply I look a...

Cholla, Cholla, you've kept us away, We'll come back tomorrow, and give you more day, The talent of time, the theif and delay, We'll come back tomorrow and tear down your ways, Where are we going? What're we doing? (Oh, oh oh) (Unidetifiable) How do we move on...

Look in the eye and watch the door The mountain is humble and it's yours Three reds in the rock, their secrets ring A cross in the sand will let you in Darkness and light Nothing to choose Follow them all until it soothes Land on your back and flap my...

The first picture Our first picture Still for a second wrapped in a whisper with you Viva the Seine! Run the bridges Go down these boulevards again With you, they feel so different It's like nothing here, nothing starts Then you and me, all at once...

I’ll take the silent treatment off your hands Uneven I’ll take the easy cynicism Less talking, more reason I, over you I, over you I, it’s all you get from me I’ll stay up watching time You tumble home safe inside Twisting now, but at the time No fears of trag...

A glass A view A mirror Which one Distracts Like open windows In the gusts A calm day will come A calm day will come This dream is This dream is This dream is In a telescope now This dream is This dream is Fever In bedtime covers Go...

I lost a place that I loved It disappeared into the woods where it belongs That cool spot, all that sun patched ridge That watery pool, where the hand in those ruins You hear that sound, the hurdle crashing down Do you miss that voice, that’s what I’d ra...

Smile in this space, it's all loud Loud as the light that we made Smile in this space, it's all loud Loud as the light that we made How come it's all around me? How come it's all around me? How come it's all around me? How come it's all around me? Un...
