Lungs 04:35
We are the sum of one and one and one We all come from the belly of our mum She breathes and hums and circles round the sun We kick her tum to the rhythm of her lungs We pound the drums to the rhythm of her lungs

At the back of the rack Sat the last KitKat For too long she had longed To drop down like the closer packs As she grew near the glass She was proud to be the last After her no more packs Would be left on the rack. On the day she was last And at last also first All the packs join the rack Just the order now reversed All the pride and delight Swallowed down with a bite She's just another KitKat Washed down with a Sprite.

Surround me Breathe me in I'll go with the wind

Hollis Brown 06:32
Hollis Brown He lived on the outside of town Hollis Brown He lived on the outside of town With his wife and five children And his cabin fallin’ down You looked for work and money And you walked a rugged mile You looked for work and money And you walked a rugged mile Your children are so hungry That they don’t know how to smile Your baby’s eyes look crazy They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve Your baby’s eyes look crazy They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve You walk the floor and wonder why With every breath you breathe The rats have got your flour Bad blood it got your mare The rats have got your flour Bad blood it got your mare If there’s anyone that knows Is there anyone that cares? You prayed to the Lord above Oh please send you a friend You prayed to the Lord above Oh please send you a friend Your empty pockets tell yuh That you ain’t a-got no friend Your babies are crying louder It’s pounding on your brain Your babies are crying louder now It’s pounding on your brain Your wife’s screams hit you Like the dirty drivin’ rain Your grass it is turning black There’s no water in your well Your grass is turning black There’s no water in your well You spent your last lone dollar On seven shotgun shells Way out in the wilderness A cold coyote calls Way out in the wilderness A cold coyote calls Your eyes fix on the shotgun That’s hangin’ on the wall Your brain is a-bleedin’ And your legs can’t seem to stand Your brain is a-bleedin’ And your legs can’t seem to stand Your eyes fix on the shotgun That you’re holdin’ in your hand There’s seven breezes a-blowin’ All around the cabin door There’s seven breezes a-blowin’ All around the cabin door Seven shots ring out Like the ocean’s pounding roar There’s seven people dead On a South Dakota farm There’s seven people dead On a South Dakota farm Somewhere in the distance There’s seven new people bor

For nothing more than the sake of torture I put a chameleon on a mirror and as I watched it as it lost its mind it reminded me of me But hey thats OK But hey thats OK And as I sail myself into darkness Away from the castles Built on land I know the shore that behind me erodes Will slowly just leave me with grains of sand But hey thats OK But hey thats OK But hey thats OK But hey thats OK If this floor was a chessboard and I was the king would you be my queen? I read by my bedside while time moved the pieces and I never wanted to win anyway But hey thats OK But hey thats OK But hey thats OK But hey thats OK
