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


christmas is coming

Feat: Rianne Buurmann; Nick Kapsokavadis; Andy Piper


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


drool britannia

From the album Spin


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


sunny side

From the album Spin


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


nevermind

From the album Spin


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

From the album Spin


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

From the album Spin


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

From the album Spin


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


back to the start

Feat: Steven Morris, Guitar


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
