It Won't Run Without You

Lyrics
From the blue a storm rolls in
and you run right under a cloud,
firing off your blackened texts,
I’m leaving you to stay on track.
I just walked through your film set,
waiting for the light to change.
Put my mojo in your bag,
you’ve wrapped it up – now it won’t go.
It won’t run without you.
You text me to come and view
your multi-colour Warhol screens.
I know you and how it runs,
I’m here for unhappy hour.
Tried to take it off the rails
when you drive me up the wall.
I thought that I’d had enough,
but maybe not enough, when I get home.
It won’t run without you.

My Reaction

Lyrics
As you turn to go
you’re still checking out my reaction.
Say it isn’t so,
but you’re playing by the rules of attraction.
When you leave I know
that i’m just a small distraction.
As you turn to go
you’re still checking out my reaction,
I’m miles away,
miles away.
As the teardrop start to fall
I see you checking out my reaction.
Dance out on the floor,
I see you checking out my reaction.
When you leave I know
that i’m just a small distraction.
As you turn to go
you’re still checking out my reaction.
I’m miles away,
miles away.

Lyrics
New boots, shiny and black,
I don’t want my baby back.
Take me out, I don’t care,
take me any anywhere.
Take me with my new boots on.
I want to groove on air,
these boots can take me there.
Up there – you can take me maybe –
these boots were made for groovin’ baby.
Take me with my new boots on.

Supercharged

Lyrics
Pull my head up to see you walk the way you do.
You drag my eyes even though I don’t want you to.
The sweat pours out as my mind begins to melt.
I smell your skin are you coming up, hey this is living!
Take it from me,
when I’m with you,
I’m supercharged.
And so it goes, you charge me up, you are the fuel
that burns me up and drives me rushing up to you.
The sweat pours out, as my mind begins to melt.
I feel your skin, I’m supercharged, hey this is living!
Take it from me,
when I’m with you,
I’m supercharged.

Cooler Time
06:04
|
|||
|
Walk silently if you can,
the pavement is humming.
Walk seeing,but not looking,
feel the crowd flowing through me.
Hold my hand up to the light,
I’m becoming transparent.
Four fingers turning blue,
turn up my collar, it’s a
cooler time.
Walk silently if you can,
the pavement is freezing.
I’ve been sick for a year with you,
now I’m being transparent
For a moment I’m back to earth
and a chill breeze blows through me.
A slowed second opens up –
Is that your hair? Oh no, it’s a
cooler time

You hook me up,
You pin me down
I was walking on the air
Now I'm just standing there.

Your Power Is Off
04:48
|
|||
|
You said you tripped out in the light
and said, "OK, I’ll be alright.
Maybe I’ll meet you when I’m down."
You said, "That’s cool I’ll be around."
You turned it up
and turned me on,
pushed a finger
through your lips.
Filled the room with Massive Attack,
FLC and all that stuff.
You turned me round
and spun me out,
sucked a finger
with your mouth.
I’m telling you
and telling myself,
your juice is down,
your power is off.
You turned it up and turned me on,
now my head is in my hands.
You turned it up and turned me on,
trying to hold on to myself...
You turned it up
and turned me on,
pushed a finger
through your lips.
Filled the room with Massive Attack,
FLC and all that stuff.
You turned me round
and spun me out,
sucked a finger
with your mouth.
I’m telling you
and telling myself,
your juice is down,
your power is off.

Let it ride
06:18
|

|
Lyrics
You just moved right in and you trashed the past.
Time was running short, had to make it last.
I was floating deep, couldn’t feel the light
Couldn’t hear the voices, ‘Do you feel alright?’
Didn’t look above, hadn’t got the mind.
I was overboard but now I’m back, I’m fine.
Now it’s fine,
let it ride,
let it ride,
let it ride,
now it’s fine,
let it ride,
let it ride,
I’m moving up alone.
Streaming, surfing, riding days.
Drifting and the sun shining on my back.
Now you’re off my mind, I’m travelling light.
Let it ride, getting higher, now I feel alright.
Now it’s fine,
let it ride,
let it ride,
I’m moving up alone.

Backtime
04:48
|
|||
|
Looking back all I did was to open the doors.
(You) walked back through the heat haze in my mind.
Rearview mirror flash, I’m going blind.
Back it up, baby to get a better look.
Reflecting on, back time slows behind.
There’s a place where the sun always seems to shine...
Always
Always
Summertime the dust blows in my eyes.
Summer afternoon in a splintered mind.
Back time changes hour by hour.
I know a place where it’s never light.
There’s a you shaped hole in my splintered mind.
(But) there’s a place where the sun always seems to shine...
Always
Always

Acid Kiss
05:20

|
Baby,
your touch is so corrosive.
Baby,
you’ve poured all over me
and scorched my lips.
Baby,
your love is so corrosive.
Baby,
you burn me up
with your acid kiss.
Sweetness,
one touch you will disolve me.
Burn on,
burn me out,
give me your acid kiss.
Sweetness,
You’re hot, but it’s me who’s melting.
Burn on,
burn me out,
give me your acid kiss.

Love and Hate in a Different Time
by Gabriels
This song deserves some flowing textile on the dance floor. Wind up the volume to fluorescent. Silverlake love the left field electric noises and strings. Hey LA - got me all goosebumps.

Flock (Deluxe Edition)
by Jane Weaver
Met Jane at a festival and asked how she got the sound on her live vocals. Loved them then and sounding so good on record too. Check out the 'Heartlow' video.

Deeply thick and funky, stripped to the good bones of hook with a cinematic edge.

A terrifically mysterious and slippery LP that oscillates between mirage-like psych-pop and wry post-punk.
