Submarines

Submarines 04:15
You won’t catch the wave you wanted to ‘Cuz its not the way you’re made To communicate is not so easy You fly by now, what to do Search for a week to make you believe People move of their own free will Collectively fine, individually damned I planted seeds, expressed the sounds The love you give is a love that you can’t lose No closer now than before We might be submarines The more I know, the less I see Wear your warpaint ’til it fades Just thank god you don’t bruise easy Wrap your arms around the world And watch the people re-appear The love you give is a love that you can’t lose No closer now than before We might be submarines The more I know, the less I see

Your mind is a wasteland Filled with dust and bones and metal wrecks Your heart beats when you want it to But you don’t seem to get much rest There’s unread books and unheard cassettes Of ideas you had at the time Don’t you open those letters boy This ain’t the place for regret The words don’t flow like they used to When they do they mean so much more It’s hard to remain satisfied When homogeneity opens the door You used to have an inventive mind Though you stole from the songs from before Now there is nothing like thinking like What’s given is not always right
3.
Damaged Kids 03:03
Do you hide from all the things you know? Under the endless waterfall You can blame no-one but yourself You’ve got to take control We might be damaged kids It’s in your face, your politic Take a stand ‘Cuz there’s no better time Don’t burn your flag too soon This is no place to believe in They look you in the eye but they’re not listening One day we’ll own this place

Every Book 04:20
Every book I ever read Was for the sister I never had What does loss feel like You don’t know what you know Until you’ve been told What does loss feel like If you trip over your rope Just don’t talk at all What does loss feel like Every book I ever read Was for the sister I never had What does loss feel like

Partizan 03:35
Believe in your people, they will keep you free Y’can’t tell if you’re the problem or the curse Is this the end game, are we over now Sandanista slogans will take ya far I’m gonna dig a graveyard for the homophobes Racists, mysogynists and one per cent It’s a violation, to have an opinion When free speech is used as a weapon There’s a partial kind of feeling It’s the conscience of a better day Don’t give up on the meaning Stand until you fall Now hear the good man, as he whispers in your ear D’you take me for all I am? You’ve got a problem, I see that you’re the cause It’s just a case of forgetting who you are Don’t be blindsided by illiberal misgivings Take the right and burn them to the ground This ain’t no freak show, it’s a 1930’s cartel And they’re knocking down your door
