Ginger

[Verse 1]
Oh she's hiding something
Reciting something
A pretty prayer
Or a curse that will ensnare
Any boy
Make him her toy
Her teddy bear
Yet still she looks so scared
Maybe she hates this guy
Maybe she's shy
[Chorus]
And treading gingerly her ginger lily
Perfume leaves its trace
So he waits there maybe wails there just
Inhales its warm embrace because she was
She was
Oh yes she was
She was
All that
[Verse 2]
Bet she's reclining somewhere
While he's pining somewhere
She's sipping tea
Prepping for tonight's party
He'll be there
And so aware
Of where she'll be
And which parts of him she'll see
Oh he's a stealthy spy
Till she brushes by
[Chorus]
And treading gingerly her ginger lily
Perfume leaves her trace
And so he waits there oh he wails there he's
Impaled by its embrace because she was
She was
Oh yes she was
She was
All that

Dragonfly

[Verse 1]
Night falls on the weight of it all
And do you hear me calling
Two feet away
Is that too far to make you stay?
What are these insects on
They seem so free
Even happy
Do you feel the same?
Oh can’t we play a game?
[Chorus]
Can’t we be like
Drugged up dragon flies
Or those ants with wide green eyes
Won’t you dance with me beneath the coral moon
If I’m a
Drugged up dragon fly
Or an ant with wide green eyes
Must I dance alone beneath the coral moon
I tell you
Dawn can’t come too soon
Only then will I forget the coral moon
Dawn can’t come too soon
When I’ll forget the invitations you refused
When I forget the coral moon
[Verse 2]
Too shy
Says the devil inside you
Won’t you even try to
Shake him away
Is he too close to let you stay?
What are these insects on
They seem so free
Even happy
Do you feel the same?
Oh can’t we play a game?
[Chorus]
Can’t we be like
Drugged up dragon flies
Or those ants with wide green eyes
Won’t you dance with me beneath the coral moon
If I’m a
Drugged up dragon fly
Or an ant with wide green eyes
Must I dance alone beneath the coral moon
I tell you
Dawn can’t come too soon
Only then will I forget the coral moon
Dawn can’t come too soon
When I’ll forget the invitations you refused
When I forget the coral moon
[Bridge]
Oh what does it take to make a grown man fly?
Too much more than it takes to make a young girl cry
I feel so lonesome when you pass me by
You know you’re more wholesome when your high
Oh what does it take to make a grown man fly?
Too much more than it takes to make a young girl cry
I feel so lonesome when you pass me by
You know you’re more wholesome when your high
[Chorus]
Can’t we be like
Drugged up dragon flies
Or those ants with wide green eyes
Won’t you dance with me beneath the coral moon
If I’m a
Drugged up dragon fly
Or an ant with wide green eyes
Must I dance alone beneath the coral moon

Her
03:26
|

[Verse 1]
She's photo shy, she's knowledge high
Behind her blow dry
She combs her hair when there's no one there
To see her
She's "not so young" - she's lost someone
Sure sped her setting sun
She doesn't know how far I'd go
To see her
[Chorus]
Her
Her
[Verse 2]
Slinks out of stress into a borrowed dress
She flaunts her feigned finesse
Hides from the sun - don't want anyone
To see her
She plays okay, but everyday
Her polish fades away
When a girl's unsure she gets a manicure
And then she bites it all away, revealing
[Chorus]
Her
(Revealing) Her
[Bridge]
Each collision with her
Plants a vision of her
In the soils of my mind
Each collision with her
Plants a vision of her
In the soils of my mind
Visions of her
Visions of her
Collisions with her
Visions with her
Her
Her
Why won't she dance with me beneath the coral moon
(Why won't she dance with me)
Why won't she dance with me beneath the coral moon
(Why won't she dance with me)
Why won't she dance with me beneath the coral moon
Why won't she dance with me beneath the coral moon
I just wanna dance with her
I just wanna dance with her
(Why won't she dance with me, why won't she dance with me)
I wanna dance with her
(Why won't she dance with me, why won't she dance with me)
I wanna dance with her

Wanderlust
04:15
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Fall in love in a far flung place
Drown your dreamboat in a dreamlike haze
Send it sailing through your veins
Stay there flailing; lay there faint
Sweat your way to the citadel
Swelter, sway, till all seems swell
Cold ice cream to break the fast
How long will the wonder last?
[Chorus]
Wanderlust is lust for nothing
Wandering away from the strain of a something
It's dark
But I think I'll take the long road
It's dark
But I don't want to get home
I don't want to get home
[Verse 2]
Try to forge a foreign tongue
Wish you'd learnt when you were young
Seldom suited to the sun
Ever too tired to have fun
Stitching bridges, fleeting friends
Singing round the river bends
Painting streets with passion past
How long will the wonder last?
[Chorus]
Wanderlust is lust for nothing
Wandering away from the strain of a something
It's dark
But I think I'll take the long road
It's dark
But I don't want to get home
I don't want to get home
[Bridge]
It's a lust to be lost till the lust is lost
It's the wonder of a wander till the wonder wanders off
[Chorus]
Wanderlust is lust for nothing
Wandering away from the strain of a something
It's dark
But I think I'll take the long road
It's dark
But I don't want to get home
I don't want to get home

Big Dreamer
03:20
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Roses red, violets blue
Classic like 'me and you'
Bittersweet, that bit of me
That looks for more, secretly
Bigger dreams, of faerie queens
The make believe, my nicotine
It stands between every scene;
We're smitten small, we're smithereens
[Chorus]
I'd rather live my life in fantasy
Than be with you and only be me
I know it's sad, and that I'm bad, to let you go
But I'm a big dreamer, and dreams mean I'm never alone
[Verse 2]
Disney girl in her Disney world
Sunken treasure and strings of pearls
Her dreams are bold, but emotions dulled
Into love she cannot be lulled
Though now grown, her childish moans
Dread being woken to ugly tones
Her dreams are sown, in a mind unknown
A faerie queen in her frosty throne
[Chorus]
She'd rather live her life in fantasy
Than be with you and only be
She knows it's sad, and that she's bad, to let you go
But she's a big dreamer, and dreams mean she's never alone
[Bridge]
Raised on a diet of Disney and dolls
Tumbling through daydreams, down the rabbit hole
Endless potential with the whimsical
Endlessly feeding a hunger for more
Roses red, violets blue, classic like me and you
Bittersweet, that bit of me, that looks for more, secretly
[Chorus]
I'd rather live my life in fantasy
Than be with you and only be me
I know it's sad, and that I'm bad, to let you go
But I'm a big dreamer, and you're not enough on your own
