esoon Fantastic from start to finish. Big fan of the two more stripped back songs - 'New York Part Two' and 'Irish Rain', which are even more powerful and feel increasingly more personal in amongst the beautiful buzz created by the rest of the album. Favorite track: New York Part Two.

Oh! Society! 03:03
His life was a map made of roads and veins A hundred different ways to get to the same place Six feet under but never much further when walking on the ground Oh whoa whoa oh Oh society Everybody wants a piece Of somebody elseā€™s life So theyā€™ll cut it out with a knife And run off into the night (x2) Her life was a grid made of stills and stares A thousand different names and all of them strangers Three inches higher but never much taller when walking on the ground Oh whoa whoa oh Oh society Everybody wants a piece Of somebody elseā€™s life So theyā€™ll cut it out with a knife And run off into the night (x2) Everyone wants what they think they miss Everyone cries into the abyss Everyone wants what they think they miss Everyone cries out into the abyss Your life is a map made of roads and veins A hundred different ways to get to the same place Oh society Everybody wants a piece Of somebody elseā€™s life So theyā€™ll cut it out with a knife And run off into the night (x2)

Here I sit Planning my world domination And I canā€™t normally see But my eyesight is especially bad tonight And the sounds of the listening room The place that will tear you down and blow you out And magnify every shred of doubt So block your ears and close your eyes Block your ears and close your eyes And turn away There you stand With your hair slicked back like itā€™s sitting on top of the world If the world was your head And over and over again the listening room Waits quietly to urge you on When it had another plan all along So block your ears and close your eyes Block your ears and close your eyes And turn away Your knees are exposed My shoulders are bare Look at what modern fashion has caused us to wear Your knees are exposed And they must be cold From the fact that you bought new jeans just two weeks ago Your knees are exposed And my shoulders are bare If we were both naked would anyone careā€¦.. Through the sounds of the listening room The place that will tear you down and blow you out And magnify every shred of doubt So block your ears and close your eyes Block your ears and close your eyes Block your ears and close your eyes And turn away

Hey I watched you float away from me But I swear itā€™s fine Sure thereā€™s a pain in my head But itā€™s there all the time Feels like Iā€™ve swallowed a tongue But not mine Somebody elseā€™s tongue Maybe the wrong one (x2) Feels like I swallowed a tongue Somebody elseā€™s tongue Maybe the wrong one Help! Iā€™m caught in a design malfunction And I canā€™t see the lines Thereā€™s a point on the horizon Guess Iā€™ll use that as my God Feels like Iā€™ve swallowed a tongue But not mine Somebody elseā€™s tongue Maybe the wrong one Feels like I swallowed a tongue Somebody elseā€™s tongue Maybe the wrong one Whisper softly Iā€™m going crazy (x3) Feels like Iā€™ve swallowed a tongue But not mine Somebody elseā€™s tongue Somebody elseā€™s tongue Feels like I swallowed a tongue Somebody elseā€™s tongue Maybe the wrong one

Anymore 03:20
I canā€™t figure out my mind I canā€™t seem to leave my past behind But Iā€™m not sure I want to ā€˜Cause I donā€™t know who I am Iā€™m not sure I want to ā€˜Cause I donā€™t know who I am Anymore (x4) You seem to think that itā€™s okay To steal my heart then walk away But you laughed when you told me That you had never felt this way You laughed when you told me That you werenā€™t gonna walk away Anymore (x4) I donā€™t know what youā€™re saying (x2) ā€˜Cause you pulled the rug from beneath my feet (x4) And I fell down I fell down I canā€™t figure out my mind I canā€™t seem to leave my past behind Anymore (x4)

Everyone has a mouth In their mind or hanging out And thereā€™s a line you crossed it And I almost lost it this time Everyone has doubts In their voice when theyā€™re screaming out Into the void who hears you And then ignores you again So what is this silence about? ā€˜Cause we are the people who shout! What is this silence about? ā€˜Cause we are the people who shout! We are the people who shout! We are the people Everyone has a mouth Spewing loud or counting down Until the war is over But itā€™s never over for long Everyone has a face Weā€™re all just a part of the human race And this gets forgotten And more lives get lost everyday So what is this silence about? ā€˜Cause we are the people who shout! What is this silence about? ā€˜Cause we are the people who shout! We are the people who shout! We are the people In solidarity letā€™s all jump into the sea (x4) ā€˜Cause what is this silence about? We are the people who shout! What is this silence about? ā€˜Cause we are the people who shout! We are the people who shout! We are the people Everyone has a mouth (x3)

I left home at nineteen and twenty-one I grew up on the other side of the pond I said ā€œIā€™m never coming backā€ So why did I come back? Oh! Your hold on me is too strong So now I donā€™t know where I belong And your hold on me is too strong So now I donā€™t know where I belong And no I donā€™t know where I belong I wrote down nine years of my life And gave it all to someone with no right But now Iā€™m still living ink And I still have time to think- Oh! Your hold on me is too strong So now I donā€™t know where I belong And your hold on me is too strong So now I donā€™t know where I belong And no I donā€™t know where I belong And now I donā€™t know where I belong I gave my heart to outstretched hands When I left my love in faraway lands (x2) But your hold on me is too strong So now I donā€™t know where I belong And your hold on me is too strong So now I donā€™t know where I belong And your hold on me is too strong So now I donā€™t know where I belong And no I donā€™t know where I belong And now I donā€™t know where I belong

You drained all my blood And left my corpse on the side of the road I lay cold and dark And my eyes, they werenā€™t even closed And time wore a black coat that was just like yours And I cried out ā€œplease, open another door!ā€ But time just turned its head and walked away So here on the ground is where Iā€™ll stay My head filled with sand And my mind tumbled into the sea Then I lost my path And the road crumbled under my feet And time wore a black coat that was just like yours And I cried out ā€œplease, bring me to life once more!ā€ But time just turned its head and walked away So here on the ground is where Iā€™ll stay And I watched the world spin And the walls cave in I closed my eyes ā€˜Cause I couldnā€™t be right We sat side by side As the sun set fire to the sky

ā€œIt just tastes right, Thatā€™s how I would best describe my lifeā€ He said ā€œThereā€™s something about it, could be this light But whoā€™s to say? Itā€™s all nonsense anyway!ā€ So yamamori janjan nolita, my dear Of all the streets in Dublin I wish you were here (x2) He walked away And on the back of his shirt I saw my face Reflected on cotton threads and perfectly raised But how could this be? Thereā€™s so much of the world left to see! So yamamori janjan nolita, my dear Of all the streets in Portland I wish you were here (x2) And like the seldom-used exit door on your right Thereā€™s something about the air around us tonight Do flames flicker because theyā€™re picking a fight Or are they just trying their best to give off light? So yamamori janjan nolita my dear Yamamori janjan nolita my dear Yamamori janjan nolita my dear Yamamori janjan nolita my dear Of all the streets in the world I wish you were here - oh no It just tastes right

Thumbs typing busy typing thumbs Heart beating racing beating heart Mind thinking ideating thinking mind Palms sweaty shaking sweaty palms Phones omnipresent glowing omnipresent phones Sleeves comforting long comforting sleeves Iā€™m a chameleon And everyone here has such nice shoes And the brick walls keep the secrets safe All the brick walls and all their secrets (x2) Iā€™m happiest when Iā€™m quietly watching the world Or maybe even happier when Iā€™m singing my observations The business man puts his back to the wall Little does he know itā€™s a window And Iā€™m on the other side! ā€˜Cause Iā€™m a chameleon And everyone here has such nice shoes And the brick walls keep the secrets safe All the brick walls and all their secrets (x2) All the brick walls and all their secrets Thumbs typing busy typing thumbs (thumbs) Heart beating racing beating heart Mind thinking ideating thinking mind (mind) Palms sweaty shaking sweaty palms Iā€™m a chameleon And everyone here has such nice shoes And the brick walls keep the secrets safe All the brick walls and all their secrets All the brick walls and all their secrets

I wear shoes with high heels so I can be taller than everyone And I think thoughts larger than my life so that I wonā€™t get bored But itā€™s too late for that now Itā€™s too late for that now So kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye And make this moment count I go out for long walks so I can clear my head before I die And itā€™s too warm in this room because we all breathe far too much But itā€™s too late for that now Itā€™s too late for that now So kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye And make this moment count And way up high where the clouds start to disappear and We all need oxygen tanks Well you and I will dance one more time above the earth Before I up and leave But itā€™s too late for that now Itā€™s too late for that now So kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye And make this moment count

New York you ate me alive Guess Iā€™m luck that, lucky I survived Brooklyn I called you my home That is, the place I curled up and told myself Iā€™m not alone Even though I was Lying in a pool of my own blood So oh tilt your head back No keep your head down This is the driest place that I couldā€™ve drown Oh tilt your head back No keep your head down This is the driest place that I couldā€™ve drown The stars always looking down Manhattan, that was my street There was a bar and a little shop that was known for its packaged meat On Sundays Iā€™d wash all my clothes At the place on 19th, Iā€™d leave just minutes before they closed And walk back home And told myself that Iā€™m not alone So oh tilt your head back No keep your head down This is the driest place that I couldā€™ve drown Oh tilt your head back No keep your head down This is the driest place that I couldā€™ve drown Your soul isnā€™t lost and found I packed all my things and I left If there was a hole it had been filled before I could catch my breath A taxi then onto a plane I closed my eyes, I wasnā€™t sure if Iā€™d see you again But Iā€™d changed Even after just ten days So oh tilt your head back No keep your head down This is the driest place that I couldā€™ve drown Oh tilt your head back No keep your head down This is the driest place that I couldā€™ve drown The stars always looking down

We spend our days locked away Just staring out the window Isnā€™t it funny how people say we always look down? Go sit in the green chair What are you doing here? And whatā€™s with your frown? You donā€™t know how luck you are And you live among the stars So donā€™t forget to look up Thereā€™s a roof above your head And the sky up above When youā€™re dreaming in your bed Donā€™t forget to look up Donā€™t forget to look I met a man who said he canā€™t remember the last time He woke up without a backlight Eyes fixed on a screen He said ā€œI thought that Iā€™d quit smoking but Iā€™m still breathing smokeā€ You donā€™t know how lucky you are When you live among the stars So donā€™t forget to look up Thereā€™s a roof above your head And the sky up above When youā€™re dreaming in your bed Donā€™t forget to look up Donā€™t forget to look Donā€™t forget to look up Donā€™t forget to look Ooooh (x3) We spend our days locked away just staring out the windowā€¦ Donā€™t forget to look up Thereā€™s a roof above your head And the sky up above When youā€™re dreaming in your bed Donā€™t forget to look up Donā€™t forget to look Donā€™t forget to look up Donā€™t forget to look

Irish Rain 03:42
Someone told me I have eyes I have eyes like silhouettes Theyā€™re dark and lonely and mysterious But theyā€™re beautiful nonetheless And someone told me I have legs I have legs as long as days Days in the dead of winter When itā€™s dark almost all of the time But at least they work And at least theyā€™re mine And itā€™s cruel and itā€™s sweet Delightfully mean But I guess thatā€™s the way of the world Thatā€™s the way of the world Someone told me I have hands I have hands as cold as ice But they play guitar like an old folk star And theyā€™re nice to hold at night And someone told me Iā€™ve a smile Iā€™ve a smile like Irish rain It hits you head on and a little sideways And it changes every minute of the day And itā€™s cruel and itā€™s sweet Delightfully mean But I guess thatā€™s the way of the world Thatā€™s the way of the world And someone told me Iā€™ve a smile Iā€™ve a smile like Irish rain It hits you head on and a little sideways And it changes every minute of the day
