Lyrics: Chloe Jacquet;
Vocal: Rianne Buurmann
Come, take my hands
Let’s spin as fast as we can
Then let’s collapse onto the ground
So we can feel how fast the world whirls around
We both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
We both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
I can wear THAT flowy dress
You can wear your Tuesday best
Like in the movies we’ll run through the fields
We’ll trip on roots, fall head over heels
Then get back up with
Grazed elbows and knees
For we both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
When the dusk comes we’ll lie on the ground
Stare up at the infinity of stars.
We’ll imagine it’s all upside down
That if we don’t cling to the grass
We’ll go tumbling
Into the future
Where we both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
Time has come to a standstill
The sun is holding its breath
The universe shrinks down until
There’s only the two of us left
And even if
The whole planet shifts
We both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
Not even the sky can hold us apart
Not even the sky can keep us apart

Lyrics: Chloe Jacquet
Reaching for high lines
Balancing on high wires
A dream of being fly highers
Whose are the golden lives?
Dogs are pointing
Primed for pieces of flesh
From rats on the treadmill
The game is game to them
I can't keep running, running, running, running
Running, running running, running - I need to catch a breath
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running - 'til just my knees are left
I just keep running, running, running, running,
Running, running - that chain's got me enmeshed
And I keep running, running, running
'Til there's only my knuckles left
It’s high time
Selling me the high life
None of it can be mine
When they’re the ones setting the price
I’m Prometheus at sunrise
The eagles feed on me to fly
They always get the prize
No matter how hard I try
I can't keep running, running, running, running
Running, running running, running - I need to catch a breath
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running - 'til just my knees are left
I just keep running, running, running, running,
Running, running - that chain's got me enmeshed
And I keep running, running, running
'Til there's only my knuckles left
I can't keep running, running, running, running
Running, running running,
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running, running
And I must keep running, running running, running,
Running, running, running
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running, running, running

Ring the bell
End of the summer is here
Won't be long
Until the nativity festivities
Silent night, holy night
My favourite time of year
I can't wait, for a taste
Gobbling on a juicy pear
Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming
Feed my cake
I need to keep it so moist
Fill my box
Fill it with all kinds of joy
Give me sweet, sausage meat
I want my favourite kind of pie
Creamy sauce, and of course
Snow falling softly from the sky
Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming
Make a log
So round, brown and choc-o-lat-ey
Get it up
It's time for the Christmas tree
Deck the halls, see my balls
They're dangling from the ceiling
Have a go, mistletoe
My lips are wet and willing
Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming
Blow your horn
Play with your instruments
Make some noise
For Cheeses of Nazareth (oh my god)
What's that sound? Don't look round!
Sleigh bells mean Rudolph's back
Santa's here, and it's clear
He's going to empty out his sack
Santa Claus is coming everywhere
Santa Claus is coming everywhere
Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming
It's a Christmas Miracle! Juicy Bird. Stuffing

We're flyin' the flag, we're beating our chests,
We're singing the songs, in case we forget
There once was a time, when we ruled the waves
The sun never set, in our glory days
But now we're drool Britannia - sitting in a
Pool of piss, staring at the wall
We had it so good, but we closed our eyes
The world caught us up, and left us behind
The Guardian Angels deserted their posts
And now haughty tyrants are casting our votes
So don't be fooled Britannia - sitting in an
Empty room, talking to the wall
And are we still blest? And what does that mean?
Our children are dressed. Our water is clean.
But we're unimpressed
And we keep looking backwards
No longer the dread and envy of all
We need to grow up, we need to stand tall
Forget what we were, 'cause those days are gone
We're different now, we're all moving on
We could be cool Britannia - looking to the
Future, opening up the doors
Instead of drool Britannia - sitting in a
Pool of piss, staring at the wall

An opportunity
Knocking on the door so loudly
Its serendipity
Telling you to take your chance and
Dance hard, grab it by the throat
Hold on tight and don't let it go
Your move, well you need to prove the
Right to wear those blue suede shoes
Take aim, now you're in the game
Play to win and seize the day
Reject defeat, you've got
Two strong arms and two left feet the
Time is right
So head across to the sunny side
You need some clarity
Sometimes life can cloud your vision
And you can seem to be
The patron saint of bad decisions
Cut loose, give yourself a break a
Better life is yours to take so
Hit the chute, no looking back
No regrets and all that jazz
Dive in, get down and dirty
Don't just be a spectator
Reject defeat, you've got
Two strong arms and two left feet the
Time is right
So head across to the sunny side
When insecurity
Makes you doubt your sanity
A lack of certainty
Keeps you from your destiny
Just take another kick
Throw some stuff (shit) and some might just stick
Remember what they say:
Nothing ventured nothing gained go
All in, going out in style
Shake the dice and watch them while they
Fly, as they cut the air
Death or glory, joy or despair
Dig deep, give it all you've got
Just one chance so take that shot
Reject defeat, you've got
Two strong arms and two left feet it's
In your hands
Set your goal and make your plan the
Time is right
So head across to the sunny side

Sit down with me, watch the TV
We can chill and get kicks
Nothing happening, we're going nowhere
Catch up on that boxset
As the sun sets through the window
Watch the shadows turn to night
See the storm clouds getting taller
Dark as sin and full of spite
And I can sit here all day
Lightning exposing your face
There's something in the way
Keeping us chained in this place
And you say you nevermind
Storing it all up inside
And you say it's really fine
Wasting the best years of your life
How to fix this? Get electric?
Take the power back?
From the teeth of stormy weather
Get back on the right track
Going postal in a hotel
Not my idea of a good good time but
If you want to, I'll go with you
I will do anything just say the word and I'm there
And I can sit here all day
Lightning exposing your face
There's something in the way
Keeping us chained in this place
And you say you nevermind
Storing it all up inside
And you say it's really fine
Wasting the best years of your life
A mojito, a mosquito
An albino and your favourite biro
A tomato, a tomato
A potato
Potato

Close my eyes try to block out all of the trivial
Stimuli but my poor brain clings to the visceral
Don't know why it's a hopeless cause, it's irrational
Drawn toward flames by forces that are unstoppable
I resist but I'm compelled
I can't break free of the spell
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy
I get burnt I don't seem to learn it's a travesty
Fly too close to the Sun than is strictly good for me
Need the heat to feel complete, but it's ethereal
Risk it all, well the cost is just immaterial
It's a dangerous pursuit
Got no backup parachute
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy
Strange attraction
Chain reaction
Fall apart well I knew this was a scenario
Crashing down to the Terra Firma below me now
I don't mind I have flown high, done the impossible
Lived a life that was so much more than the nominal
It's a dangerous pursuit
Got no backup parachute
High above the mortal things
Feel the wind beneath my wings
I resist but I'm compelled
I can't break free of the spell
Broken bones and shattered dreams
A release of energy
Strange attraction
Chain reaction
Strange attraction
Chain reaction

Well here we go again
Six in the morning and the walk of shame
I hear the key in the door
No sleep since bedtime the day before
Don't rock the boat, don't make a sound
Silent running just keep your head down
Warned you once, you wouldn't listen to me
If you lie down with dogs then you're gonna get fleas
I got no solutions
You come around here seeking absolution
I got no more sympathy
Three is the devil and the devil makes three
Well there you go again
It's never your fault, a perpetual victim
You just take your chances
Forget the extenuating circumstances
Don't take the piss, believe it or not
It makes things worse when you take me for an idiot
So let's suck it and see
If you lie down with dogs then you're gonna get fleas
I got no solutions
You come around here seeking absolution
I got no more sympathy
Three is the devil and the devil makes three
No I don't want to hear this
I'm sick and tired of bullshit
Sad but I think you know
I trust you about as far as
I can throw you
I've caught a tiger by the tail
And if I let you go I know that you will
Do it
All again
And you can't tell me why
You need to go round - playing cupid
Once bitten twice shy
But three times would be - plain stupid
And I'm not masochistic
I feel the cuts and I don't like it
This is the end my friend
Pick up your things and take a fucking hike
I got no solutions
You come around here seeking absolution
I got no more sympathy
Three is the devil and the devil makes three
The devil's in the detail
The devil's in the detail
The devil's in the detail
The devil's in the detail

It’s a brand new day
Raise your eyes to the morning sky
Just don't forget to make it count and here is why
We have finite time
Spend it wisely while you can
Because today might be the end of all your plans
We are fugitives - temporary
We're just visiting - transitory
Make the most of it while you can 'cause
You're a long time dead son
Keep on living while you breathe
Don't procrastinate
Time won't wait around for you
So take your chances as they come, don't think it through
Trust your gut sometimes
You might not always get it right
But doing nothing leads to nothing leads to night
We are fugitives - temporary
We're just visiting - transitory
Make the most of it while you can 'cause
You're a long time dead son
Keep on living while you breathe
There's no instruction list
No examination test
We make it up, we get it wrong, we do our best
And the acid test
When you come to take your rest
Is if you know you've lived a life without regrets
We are fugitives - temporary
We're just visiting - transitory
Make the most of it while you can 'cause
It's a one way ticket
Just a single exit
You're a long time dead son
So keep on living while you breathe

Easy to forget, well it's ancient history
How you made me feel, how you came and saved me
Took me in your arms and you calmed the storm down
Made me realise there was so much more now
I feel I'm born again
Second attempt at this difficult game
Making memories and putting the dread
Of the ghosts of the past to the back of my head
And I know I don’t always show
How I feel and how much I owe you
Let's go out tonight, make it feel right
You are under my skin, in my heart
Let's go back to the start
Spinning through the days, I can lose my way and
Concentrate upon the immediate task in hand
Need to lift my head see the bigger picture
Break out of the rut for a breather now and
Then, stop and open my eyes
See where I'm heading and how far I've climbed
And remind myself of all that is good
And that none of it means anything without love
And I know I don’t always show
How I feel and how much I owe you
Let's go out tonight, make it feel right
Got you under my skin, in my heart
Take me back to the start
Need to pay it back, need to keep it turning
Spread the love around keep those fires burning
Need to let you know I'd be lost without you
Need to make you see that I'm here for you, so when you're
Feeling that everything's cursed
Foot to the floor, but you're stock in reverse
When you can't seem to find the way through
Got your back, going nowhere, I'm here to help you
And I know I don’t always show
How I feel and how much I owe you
Let's go out tonight, make it feel right
You're the ink in my skin, the beat of my heart
Let's go back to the start
(So when you're) feeling that everything's cursed
Foot to the floor, but you're stock in reverse
When you can't seem to find the way through
Got your back, going nowhere, I'm here to help you
Let's go out tonight, make it feel right
You're the ink in my skin, the beat of my heart
Let's go back to the start
Let's go back to the start
Deep within
You're under my skin
