Indigo Blind
(Cerys Matthews/Mark Roberts/Owen Powell)

Back again, where did you stray?
No hands salute the change
If you glance then look the other way
Not even success would sway your reasons

He was a favourite friend of mine
He wasn't addicted or anything
He'd write some strange things as he'd climb
Indigo blind

Here at last we're on your side
Press your hair against the window
Past the bridge you lay down and died
And it made the great feel better

He was a favourite friend of mine
He wasn't addicted or anything
He'd write some strange things as he'd climb
Indigo blind

He was a favourite friend of mine
He wasn't addicted or anything
He'd write some strange things as he'd climb
Indigo blind

All Girls Are Fly
(Cerys Matthews/Mark Roberts)

Small wonder you've not heard from her
She's gone now, back in England
She got spirit, will go farther
But she can't see the romance in the colour of your schemes
The colour of your schemes

But you know and I that all girls are fly
And all men must die for their cars

Why blunder? there's no wonder
You've been feeling six foot under
Make it happen, you: it could happen
But don't forget to turn the light off if you're last to leave
If you're last to leave here

'Cos you know and I that all girls are fly
And all men must die for their cars

And you know and I that all men are fly

And all girls must die, or something
 

Do You Believe In Me?
(Cerys Matthews/Mark Roberts/Paul Jones)

I'm Andy Cole's tortured soul lost out again in front of goal
I wish I had your cocaine confidence
Some girls are easier on the eye but could you take the silent lives
I wish I had your full on arrogance

But I'm a white witch, mad bitch, hooked on drugs the jury's out, the lawyer shrugs
The angel on my shoulder falls asleep

Do you believe in me or are you leaving me
Do you believe in me or are you leaving me

I thought I was Columbus, turns out Antarctic Scott
And I always ate my friends along the way
But don't ask about the reasons nor reason with my aims
The closer you'll appear the less I'll say

Do you believe in me or are you leaving me
Do you believe in me or are you leaving me
Do you believe in me or are you leaving me
Do you believe in me or are you leaving me

Silent fool but give me time and I might prove, I could do anything I choose

I'm Andy Cole's tortured soul lost out again in front of goal
I wish I had your cocaine confidence
But I'm a white witch, mad bitch, hooked on drugs the jury's out, the lawyer shrugs
And all the wine you had just left me sober

Do you believe in me or are you leaving me
Do you believe in me or are you leaving me
Do you believe in me or are you leaving me
(Drink puts the angel on my shoulder to sleep)

Drink puts . . .

 

Jump Or Be Sane
(Cerys Matthews/Mark Roberts)

Well I know what I like and I like what I see
I know what I want and I know what I need
And the more that I get, the more that I need
So if you're coming along well you're coming out easy

Everybody screams don't know what to believe
I just follow someone else's life
And all my bookcases groan none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else's life
And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave
So it seems - jump or be sane

I want to move on but I know when to stay
Oh you can stand there all day, you can shoulder the blame
But they're spoiling the paintwork and they're ruining the line
And I've been here before and it ain't worth your overtime

Everybody screams don't know what to believe
I just follow someone else's life
And all my bookcases groan none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else's life
They've got me running around but it's not work that they've found
Just something to keep me occupied
And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave

So it seems - jump or be sane
Jump or be sane (x4)

Catch me if you can, my feet won't ever feel the ground again

So let the overture take over and the symphony restrain
Let the orchestra be passion and the timpanis the rain

Everybody screams don't know what to believe
I just follow someone else's life
And all my bookcases groan none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else's life

They've got me running around but it's not work that they've found
Just something to keep me occupied
It's a mean machine keep it tight keep it clean
Just something to keep me occupied

And as a matter of course be not vexed by remorse
I'm not lost but one who's gone before
And as the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave
Then it seems jump or be sane

Jump or be sane (x3)

 

No Stone Unturned
(Mark Roberts/Catatonia)

No stone unturned, your sperm is stoned
Lifeless and drowned, liquid desire
Casual at best, slow disinterest
Too routine bound, partially dressed

I did not leave the sinking ship,
The sinking ship left me

Spring's light is kind, your love swears blind 
She kept a chart, and in nine months time 
Slow dance mis-timed, take as you find 
Awkward and still, liquid desire

I did not leave the sinking ship, 
The sinking ship left me

A lone contender, who can never win 
But I see there, unchartered waters, where I now belong, 
But I grow strong I did not leave the sinking ship, 
The sinking ship left me

No stone unturned, your sperm is stoned 
Lifeless and drowned, liquid desire 

I did not leave the sinking ship, 

The sinking ship left me
 

I'm Cured
(Mark Roberts/Catatonia
)

I'm cured - hurrah!
I never thought it would be this easy
Cured - bizarre
How abstinence can wipe the slate clean
I'm through with that
It ain't my time, I'm rewarded poorly
I'm cured - hurrah!
I no longer feel the urge

If lust is sin then what price our extinction?
Yes, it's all starting to make sense

I'm cured - hurrah!
I care what I wear but it never suits me
Cured - hurrah!
The rash is gone and I'm seeing clearly
Cured - hurrah!
I no longer feel the urge and so
I'm cured - hurrah!
But what a beautiful disease

If lust is sin then what price our extinction?
Yes, it's all starting to make sense

Evolution's blind to the future (x4)

I'm cured - hurrah!
I never thought it would be this easy
Cured - bizarre
I lost my way but now I see clearly
I'm through with that
It ain't my time, I'm rewarded poorly
I'm cured - hurrah!
I no longer feel the urge

If lust is sin then what price our extinction?
Yes, it's all starting to make sense

You no longer hold my gaze
The past it is erased

I'm cured
