I Sit And Wonder
02:55
|

|
Bang, bang, bang, goes the gun.
The tank wheels rattle,
As they roll like cattle,
This commotion...
Plays in slow motion.
Tick, tick, tick, goes the clock.
And I ask in those hours,
Can we trade bullets for flowers,
But I'm hoping...
'Cause those guns are smoking.
I once felt safe in my home.
But amidst the panic,
I scrammed for the attic,
And I'm hidden...
All sounds forbidden.
The human race has been run.
Though it took some time,
They have crossed that line,
Photo finishers...
But there can be no winners.
I've lived so long trouble free.
Now little ol' me's,
Stuck in World War III,
And I'm despairing...
At the world's sad ending.
Footsteps creep down below.
My demise is looming,
And my heart is booming,
Like thunder...
I just sit and wonder.

It Makes Me Wonder
03:14

So if you're gonna change your mind.
Just do it now before the damage is done,
And don't make out like you're the innocent one.
Oh oh oh.
But if you're not then it's goodbye.
We'll cut all ties and see each other no more,
You change your life, I'll change the lock on the door.
Oh oh oh.
Just because you don't know what you're saying,
Doesn't mean I don't.
Just because you say your heart is aching,
Doesn't mean it's broke.
It makes me wonder why,
I loved you for a while.
So now I'll get on with my life.
I'll do it now before you come back for more,
And won't make out that it can be like before.
Oh oh oh.
But if I don't then that's alright.
Provided that I never see you again,
If we ain't talking we can never be friends.
Oh oh oh.
I don't believe it when you say there's no one,
You can't be left alone.
I see the look that's on your face and it's showing,
And now I'm on my own.
It makes me wonder why.
I loved you for a time.

September
02:59
|
|||
|
Now I ain't saying I don't like your kind,
But I'll skip that invitation for tonight.
And I'll sit and trip inside this house of mine,
And I'll find some better way to waste my time.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Will it rain,
Until September?
Now I know what lies beyond that old front door,
But I have no wish to see it anymore.
I think one is company but two's a crowd,
So I'll shun the cold, blue skies if I'm allowed.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Will it rain,
Until September?
Well don't you come a-knockin' and a-callin',
There ain't no use in trying to get through.
Set aside all thoughts of idle chatter,
That don't matter.

Sail The Ocean
02:24
|
|||
|
Well, I've got no drive let alone ambition.
All that stuff's just a work of fiction.
Well, I ain't got time to feel emotion,
Got no money to sail the ocean.
I do the least I can with the most conviction.
And I don't pay no mind to mumbo jumbo superstitions.
Well, I ain't got time to feel emotion,
Got no money to sail the ocean.
Well, I couldn't care less about a reputation.
Let the people talk, it's their time they're wasting.
Well, I'd cry all day if I could feel emotion.
I'd just get sick if I sailed the ocean.

So It Goes
03:36
|
|||
|
The night is crying on me,
and the wind is blowing cold.
Oh oh oh,
So It Goes.
My pick up didn't show up,
I'm stranded here alone.
Oh oh oh,
So It Goes.
So It Goes.
I run, I walk but I don't talk,
There's no-one to reply.
Oh oh oh,
So It Goes.
My shoes are made of sponge,
I swear they're sucking up the tide.
Oh oh oh,
So It Goes.
So It Goes.
Maybe in the morning,
I will warm my hands, inside.
Plans fell through, it's nothing new,
I wish I had a ride.
It's so hard to handle,
Walking on for six more miles.
But it won't be very long until I'm home.
No, it won't be very long until I'm home.
I stumble through the gateway,
To my humble sanctuary.
Oh oh oh,
So it goes.
I fumble in my pockets,
And discover there's no keys.
Oh oh oh.
So it goes.
So It Goes.
Pain, hard to hide,
But I've got it inside.
Stiff shot of gin now,
Would suit me alright.
Mind's shooting blanks,
But my heart's beating wild.
It doesn't make a difference that I'm home.
No, it doesn't make a difference that I'm home.

Five In The Morning
04:37
|
|||
|
Five in the morning, bad call.
Night started brightly,
Now it's taken a fall.
Might think of walking, and soon.
When I escape,
I will be over the moon.
What am I supposed to say to you?
What you say to me just passes through.
Hate to say I told you but it's true,
Time is ticking on, the hour flew.
And now I'm overdue.
Five in the morning, Code Red!
'Cause I've started thinking,
That I wish I was dead.
Why must I suffer this fool?
Mind numbing know it all,
Who hasn't a clue.
What am I supposed to say to you?
What you say to me just passes through.
Hate to say I told you but it's true,
Time is ticking on, the hour flew.
And now I'm overdue.
Five in the morning, that's all.
Five in the morning,
It means nothing at all.

Heavy On My Mind
03:15
|
|||
|
I ain't too pretty,
But I don't care.
It's a great big City,
But I'm never there.
Hard times and sorrow,
I've had my share.
I may be gone tomorrow,
But I don't let it...
Lean heavy on my mind.
Don't sit there moping,
Get up and dance.
Don't give up hoping,
You'll get another chance.
This gesture's token:
You don't want regrets.
I had my poor heart broken,
But I didn't let it...
Lean heavy on my mind.

Bye bye baby,
My world has greatly declined.
Ain't life kind?
Ain't life kind?
Staring at the things you'll never see.
Listening to sounds you couldn't dream.
Sitting in the house you used to be.
Picturing your face from memory.
Bye, bye baby, bye.
Ain't life kind?
Ain't life kind?

When
04:02
|
|||
|
When will the sun shine down on me?
It don't know where I am.
When will this life make sense to me?
I don't believe it can.
When will these tears disappear from my eyes?
When?
When?
When?
Who is the man that takes everything,
From anyone he can?
We'll strap him down and do surgery.
We'll take away his hands.
When will these clouds disappear from my mind?
When?
When?
When?
When will this pain disappear from my heart?
When?
When?
When?

It's All Over
02:00
|
|||
|
It all came so far along,
But something happened on the way to this song.
A tale of love that went wrong,
Couldn't contain it,
Then I'd feign it,
Now the feeling has gone.
It's all over but
You don't know it yet,
My girl.
So as it struggles to stand,
It only slowly dawned, it wasn't plotted or planned.
But you've been forcing my hand,
Either complaining,
Or explaining,
Your way out of a jam.
It's all over but
You don't know it yet,
My girl.

Lay It On My Honey
02:30
|
|||
|
Someone's to blame,
So I'll lay it on my honey.
She told me straight,
And I didn't find it funny.
'Cause she has found...
Another lover.
Time might tell,
I'll just wait until tomorrow.
Maybe then,
There'll be an end to all my sorrow.
'Cause she has found...
Another lover.
Oh, would you take this broken heart,
And stitch it back together?
Or just tear it apart,
And leave it for the weather?
Now baby please.
Hear my pleas.

It's over,
And baby how I suffer.
Another,
Lonely day as I recover.
I loved you,
And you loved me,
Then you said those words,
And my fate was sealed.
And as you said your so longs,
I hadn't seen 'em coming.
Playing,
Through my mind what you were saying.
Thinking,
There was something I was missing.
You came up,
And put me down,
Now I can't go out,
And you don't come 'round.
And as you said your so longs,
I hadn't seen 'em coming.
Waiting,
For a note or call explaining.
Knowing,
That I'm never gonna get it.
Time moves on, babe,
And so should we,
I hope you're happy now,
I'm a misery.
And as you said your so longs,
I hadn't seen 'em coming.

I’ve been a massive Super Furry Animals fans since their first album and I’ve seen them many times in the UK and North America. Das Koolies are awesome. I heard this for the first time today and it’s completely different to the Furries. A little like Black Devil Disco Club with little hints of the furries now and again. Brilliant.
