Stay around Stay around Stay around Stay around Don’t leave Not now Stay around Stay around You hear That sound? It’s the birds And the trains But don’t Fly away Or ride Just stay If you want If you may Draw the blind Wear your shades One more? One more! For sure Oh ye No pressure No pain No stress No strain But I’m up If you’re down Stay around Stay around Stay alive Stay awake Stay around In the game I’ll play If you’re down Stay around Stay around Stay around Stay around Stay around Stay around To cuddle Lie down Stay around Stay around

Woosh That’s time Flying by Like it do Like it does How it stays Fly away Fly away Fly away Like a jet Like an ex Like next It just happens It’s a moment Like, you feel it Then it goes But i’m trying to take time now Let’s take it more slow But Woosh That’s time That’s life How it stays Ever change Never same Like a love Then a hate Like a life Then a death Like happy then bereft Or the moment That split second That splits night up from day Like a knife Like a blade In the flesh Then it bleeds That is time dripping out And now time’s Killing me
4.
Let’s catch up When you can Let’s hang Let’s hang Let’s not not hang Let’s actually hang Let’s talk Let’s chill Let’s cool Let’s build Let’s fuck Let’s kiss And think And drink And slink And slunk And drunk And drug And dance And funk And die when we’re done But let’s actually link And be in the room And notice the silence If it comes Without doom Without shock Without shame So it goes So it stays But let’s be In the building Or out without ceiling Strolling and hanging And smoking Tail’s wagging Tongues wiggle Chairs swivel People change So do cities So let’s see what we see And see if you can see What’s redeveloping me Can you see my new lines Can you hear my slang Well damn Here’s your man Let’s hang Let’s hang

So it goes So it goes That’s life You know Got the dice Then you roll So it goes So it goes Sometime Snake eye Double six Sometimes So it goes With the die So it goes That’s life Let it go Let it go Let it roll Let it roll Take a throw Take a throw So it goes So it goes Little one For the nose So it goes So it goes Other one For my foes Will you leave Me alone I’m alone I’m alone So it goes So it goes Can you come To my home You should go You should go So it goes So it goes Let it change Let it change Let it ride Let it run Let it rain Let it rain Free reign Free reign Cut down Cut down Got to go Uptown So it is So it stay Make it through Some way Devil knows Devil knows So it goes So it goes Photos Quick pose Little smile For the show Just a tear Just a rip Little fall Little slip But I’m back And I know So it go So it go So it go So it go
6.
I want to know sometimes Why me Why I You never know sometimes But still You try You cry sometimes Why me Dry eye And it’s slow sometimes So take Some time Want to go sometimes Just me Just I All alone At times I change My mind Just at home sometimes Then I go outside Let it go sometimes Get wild Go wild Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Sometimes Sometimes All you need Is some time But why I don’t know It’s the way That it goes Your way sometimes Other times It don’t will you go Will you stay Will you cry Will you pray Will you lie Will you lay What’s the price Will you pay What’s the game Will you play What’s the time What’s the date What’s your life What’s your fate What’s your name What’s your name How’s your head What’s your face Who’s your type Who’s your fave Will you fuck Will you lay Who’s to know Who’s to say Sleep alone sometimes Just me Just I All alone sometimes Goodnight Goodnight

Wake up and let’s get Going on these days Sunny on these days Snowy on these days But get up and let’s get Set today Wet today Fly today Hot today Dry today Hot today Cold today Break today Mould today Fresh today Old today Debt today Owe today Back today Pay today Cash today Rent today Out today Home today Dead today Wake up and let’s get Going on these days You’re alive today You could die today But you’re here today From a year today Who knows who can say Where you’ll be that day But you’re here Right now Hearing this Somehow Your voice Or mine In your ear Or your mind And you feel How you feel Either love Either hate With your height With your weight With your life With your fate With your past With your days With your times With your dates With your loves With your hates With your foes With your mates But you’re here today All alone today Never not on your J’s You’re alone in some way So you’ll go some day Who knows what way But get going today Do the ting Your way

Lucky So lucky So unlucky Luck Just sucks The luck out of you So much Luck So much life And so You just get stuck On your luck Get down on it But You’ve got to get up Because It was just one time And it don’t usually happen I promise it was just unlucky One time I was down on it But now im back Back on the white horse Riding it to Lucky land And feeling like I’m up Back and Unstuck Flying on this luck Riding it Stiff Hard Tough That’s luck You get lucky sometimes And one time Was tonight

When i see you again I want you to give me A good seeing to And i’ll open my eye And do my very best To see you properly too And i’ll be wide eyed It’ll be like i’d never seen You before and like You’d never seen me At least not like you’ll be seeing Me on that night no Next time it’s going to be like The first time maybe for us Both like we’d just seen what It’s like to be seen for the first Time i swear i can’t wait to see You might have to wait a while Last time was a while back still But since then so much has taken place And i can’t wait to see you again And see if you’ve got anything New going on with your face I think i might’ve changed since You seen me last yes i reckon I might have changed quite considerably Me see how it seems seeing someone again For the first time in a long time I want to go for a long time next time I’m going to make it last so that You won’t forget me for the best of reasons But you know how it gets i feel like Going sometimes and feel like I never want to be seen again So it goes sometimes that is not Even zero point five percent of a lie I swear but i’m here this time and Yes next time it’ll be like you seen me For the first time good and proper Right seeing to saying true things About our lives that we’ll remember For next time and we’ll check in With one another in between times To make sure those little things Are going well and your life hasn’t Gone in a handbasket to hell but You’re swell you seem it you look really Good i have to say so good to see you I’ll see you soon next time

Hold on Wheel it Wheel it Wheel it Felt that Feel it That one Wheel it That one Left deck That lips That peck That suck That neck That head That head One sec I came Like woah Pull that Stop that Wheel that Pull it up Pull that That sauce That dip Them fries Them chips That meal That dessert That DM With a “friend” That story Had to shot That screen Too hot Zoom in on that bit Yes please Wheel it Want it Need it Got it Need it Now I Need it again That’s right My friend There’s no higher honour I want to see you again And get high again And go dancing again hear that story again So wheel it again Wheel it again then Wheel it again And wheel it Again And again And again And again And again And again And again

I’m moving Way too fast But can’t stop Moving Gliding Zooming Earphones Booming Biking Ubering Taxi Take me Tax man Leave me I’m late I know been Busy lately Spending crazy But I love my baby And all my babies Lovers Lay me And say nice things In pillow talk So I buy rings And jewels And dine And drug And dance I’m moving now Might move to France My lovers there Might move Might move Or Manchester I’m going soon And when I’m back I’ll go some more My flat to yours Then go some more I’m moving now They’re moving They’re moving out Say goodbye house With memories A sort of spouse A new divorce to Finsbury Park Both my hearts in broken parts And all my loves Come by the park Let’s move around And do it now I feel like moving Moving now From here to there To death from life No wife alone I’m moving now
12.
Days from Disaster Saturnalia Soon The master the slave The joy the doom It’s all down side up now Down so down But up so up So low so high The roads I paved Don’t tread the same I indicate But turn next ways I think and I say But it’s sounding all strange In these days from disaster And nothing’s ok But everything’s great It’s tricky to say I feel like I feel And my feelings change Days from disaster But happier still I’ll fly like the devil and do what I will

Seeing you again Would be better than cocaine Better for my heart And better for my brain Higher than a plane A mask for the pain If I was too twisted You’d straight me again Oh Better than cocaine Would be seeing you again Seeing you again And seeing you again And hearing you say my name My joy it was slain And now all that remains Is a heart that keeps pumping But for what I can’t say Wine in the veins And tears in my eyes I don’t want them to dry Or to be alive The coldest of bodies That longs for the flame And a mind that’s not sure If it’s sane or insane An ache and a yearn And an ash and urn You in the brain As the cigarette burns Oh To chop you again Oh To feel you again Oh To hug you again Oh To kiss you again Oh To grime you again Oh To funk you again Oh To jazz you again Oh To rock you again Oh To hold you again Oh To know you again Oh To rap you again Oh To flow you again Oh To hip you again Trip with you again Would be better than cocaine Yeah that’s better than cocaine So Go go go Don’t slow don’t slow Rush back to me let’s go let’s go And come back here again To where we can lay And wait out the storm Stay dry from the rain Get wet in our bodies Go down and then raise Fall asleep and then wake Just to see you again
