Lightning
04:02
|
|||
|
My heart hammers in my ribcage,
and thunders in my ears.
Can’t help but give myself up.
while the world disappears.
Like a woodland caught on fire,
like I’m rising from my body,
it’s like I’m two different people,
and one of them is watching me.
She is lightning up my spine,
striking at me twice,
and I’m in seventh heaven
that I can’t describe.
She is lightning up my spine,
striking at me twice,
and I’m in seventh heaven
that I can’t describe.
[repeat chorus]
That I can't describe...

Seize the Night
03:53

Let’s wander.
Let’s trespass.
Let’s night swim,
breathe it in.
We should seize the night. [x4]
Seize the night... [x4]

Watching Rooftops
04:34
|
|||
|
When i’m blazing,
and embers glow,
it’s pretty amazing
out my window. [x2]
Never felt more alive.
Never felt more new.
I know we’ll survive,
like we always do.
There’s so many lights.
There’s so many lives.
There’s so many stories
in constellation. [x2]
Never felt more alive.
Never felt more new.
I know we’ll survive,
like we always do.

Every 7 Years
03:56
|
|||
|
Every seven years,
every single cell
in my body
will be replaced.
And I will be
someone that -
that you haven’t ever –
ever touched before.
New... [x4]
Even if it’s not true,
even if it’s false,
I'm gonna shapeshift,
be reanimated,
and christen myself,
jump in the harbour.
Christen myself,
swim in the canal.
New... [x4]

Sycamore
03:46
|

|
You make my heart flutter like a sycamore seed.
You give me butterflies like you wouldn’t believe.
You make my mouth stutter when I’m dyin’a speak,
and you sing me lullabies, but they keep me from sleep.
And I swoon... so achingly.
Yeah, I swoon... so achingly.
I swoon… so achingly.
Yeah, I swoon... so achingly.
It’s always worth it, if it makes you nervous.
I will break a leg, break a leg, until I’m fearless.
I will throw myself into the deep end,
throw myself into the lion’s den.
You blow my mind, make my knees go weak,
have me timidly trynna find a means of release.
Give me stage fright, and you gimme cold feet,
have me vividly dreaming, please put me at ease.
(Cuz) I swoon... so achingly.
Yeah, I swoon... so achingly.
I swoon… so achingly.
Yeah, I swoon... so achingly.
It’s always worth it, if it makes you nervous.
I will break a leg, break a leg, until I’m fearless.
I will throw myself into the deep end,
throw myself into the lion’s den.

Crave You
03:32
|
|||
|
I have a thought bubble above my head,
and all of the time it just says sex.
So much so, I have to duck through doors, oh -
so much so I have to duck through doors.
It’s like everything in even numbers.
It’s like everything in the same colours.
It’s like every five seconds, babe.
Every rapid eye movement phase.
I crave you
like strange food.
I crave you
just the way you are. [x2]
In my house pants, vest and cardigan,
I’m wanderin’ through the night again.
Without you, I’m in the library, whisperin’.
Without you, it’s like I’m dyin’ of nothin’.
Chasing lights of angler fish,
it’s just so luminescent.
A dog has gotta itch his itch, like
moths have gotta bother filaments.
(repeat chorus)

Zoetrope
03:58
|
|||
|
I’ve got something
hidden up my sleeve.
A new blueprint, a new movement,
a new narrative to believe.
One of runaways
making an escape.
The pylons drifting,
the trees flickering.
And we’ll make marks
like contrails...
like bow waves, like pink flares...
like chemical trails.
You animate me
like a zoetrope,
illuminate me
with a flashing strobe.
We’ll self-surrender
into ego death.
Watch walls breathe, watch phosphenes,
watch textures flex.
Whatever you do,
don’t you ever stop moving.
Whatever you do, don’t –
don’t you ever stop making.
And we’ll make marks
like contrails...
like bow waves, like pink flares...
like chemical trails.
You animate me,
breathe life inside me.
You make me
burn more brightly.

Wolves and Leopards
03:36
|

|
Rude boy what you done?
What you done said?
Rude boy what you done?
What you done, done, done? (Oh!)
Wolves and Leopards.
Bad man thieving thieves.
There ain’t no relief,
You know I said we’re all born to give grief.
[repeat]

Floods
02:57
|
|||
|
We’ll make locusts swarm.
We’ll make 40 days of floods.
We’ll make the sky fall down.
We’ll make the rivers run with blood.
We’ll make the sun turn black.
We’ll make the moon turn blood red.
We’ll make the end nigh as fuck.
We’ll make the acorns fall on your head.
The harm we’ll do behind closed doors...
The harm we’ll do behind closed doors...
The evil we’ll do behind closed doors,
the dirt under our nails and the apple cores...
We’ll have our rapture, and you won’t have yours...
We’ll have our rapture, and you won’t have yours...
We’ll have our rapture, and you won’t have yours...
The dirt under our nails and the apple cores...

Whisky and You
03:20
|

|
All I want is whisky and you,
black rope and crème fouettée too.
All i want is whisky and you,
black rope and a few ice cubes.
Oh oh, oh oh,
oh oh, oh oh,
oh oh, oh oh,
oh oh, oh oh.

There are only two kinds of music: good and bad. And no matter how The Fearless Few are being pushed to de-, re-, and co-construct anything from minute sub-genre details to sweeps in music history, the outcomes always has one common denominator: they are good. The Fearless Few are walking the Giant Steps of Coltrane and are as a collective exploring music and bridging hitherto unbridgeable gaps. Thank you. And now, to quote N.W.A.: “Buy the f#%€I ng album, bitch!” 😎
