LYRICS - Chemicals
I’m hunting for a heartbeat, from AM to BPM
Looking for a lover, from mono to polyrhythm
We’re just two dancers, moving out of sync
Your feet don't with mine
Magnetic islands, positive and minus
Our bodies twist and turn, our bodies twist and burn
Oh your chemicals
Talk to my chemicals
Oh your chemicals
They talk to me
People, need people
To take a leap of faith
If you can't trust yourself
Come on, trust in someone else
People need people
We're just chemicals
I fell a little nervous
So please don't play dumb with me
I can hear your heartbeat
A delicate rhapsody
I wish I'd have met you, later when you're ready
Timing could screw this up, these lips weren't made for
Bittersweet kisses, or rebound cries of love
Oh your chemicals
Talk to my chemicals
Oh your chemicals
They talk to me
People, need people
To take a leap of faith
If you can't trust yourself
Come on, trust in someone else
People need people
We're just chemicals

LYRICS - Don't Sleep Through The Flood
The rain pours down on this old town
Children’s toys rise from the underground
Sharks swim deep through parliament’s halls
Flooded streets make islands of our homes
We've got time don't you worry
We've got everything we need, everything we need
To make it on our own
But don't sleep through the flood
Don't sleep through the flood
Don't sleep through the flood
We push our boats through Leicester Square
Fishing for tins of food and cars of beer
A faded sign on a tenement wall
Promises everything must go
But we've got time don't you worry
We've got everything we need, everything we need
To make it on our own
To save the world sounds so funny
When you've got everything you need, everything you need
To make it on your own
But don't sleep through the flood
Don't sleep through the flood
Don't sleep through the flood

LYRICS - Sing To Me
Oh my love, are you here with me?
All I ever wanted, all I seek
Oh my girl, won’t you sing to me?
All I ever wanted, all I seek
Sing to me
Sing to me
Sing to me
Oh my girl, are you here with me?
All I ever wanted, all I seek
Oh my girl, won’t you sing to me?
All I ever wanted, all I need
Sing to me
Sing to me
Sing to me

LYRICS - Delicate
Wings half grown
Lovers share their stories in the afternoon
Staring at each other like they're works of art
Scared to show their scars they wear a mirror for a mask
If it's a dream that we have made
If it's a dream don't let it fade
Oh it's delicate
Older now
Old enough to know if this could work somehow
Tired of throwing yourself into the firing line
Last cigarette, last silent prayer a blindfold for a mask
Slow it down, down, down
If it's a dream that we have made
If it's a dream don't let it fade
Oh it's delicate, it's delicate
Breaking / not breaking me
