Lyrics for the songs on the CD album 12 notes

Lyrics to the CD album 12 notes :

1. My blood is rich

   My blood is rich

   Dripping with sugar

   My brain is porous

   Full of holes

   And there's a black hole near the sun

   That's where we go when we are done

   And when I shave and I cut

   Why will I bleed ?

   And when I dream and I jump

   What does it mean ?

   There's a radio signal

   From a distant star

2. Big black Mariah

   Big black Mariah

   Best friend's brother

   Jumps out of the window

   Breaks both of his legs

   Not his feet

   The scooter's yours

   Now he's free

   Big black Mariah

   Big black Mariah

   Best friend's brother

   Lost in the woods

   Barefoot for days

   Lost his feet

   The ambulance is here

   Now he's not free

   Big black Mariah

   Big black Mariah

   Best friend's brother

   Back of the bus

   Scrapes both his knees

   For forty feet

   The bus stops here

   Now he's free

   Big black Mariah

3. Grateful

   I'm grateful for absolutely nothing

   Black coffee dried mango

   It's awkward every time we speak

   Black coffee dried mango

   And this our life finds tongues in trees

   And good in everything

   I'm choosing to shape my reality (anxiety)

   'Cos it's awkward every time we speak

   Black coffee dried mango

   Black coffee dried mango

   'Cos I'm choosing to shape my reality (anxiety)

   I'm grateful for absolutely nothing

   Black coffee dried mango

   Black coffee dried mango

   I'm grateful for everything

   Find the good in everything

4. Everton we know you're great...when are you ever any good ?

   When you say you'll follow me and you don't

   Liverpool we love you, you're as sound as a pound

   Liverpool we don't like you (when you say you'll follow me)

   'Cos you go to the wrong ground (and you don't)

   But oh, no nostalgia please

   It's not what it used to be

   Liverpool we love you, 'cos you fight for your rights

   Liverpool we hate you mate (when you say you'll follow me)

   You've shaved off your ketwig (and you don't)

   And oh, no nostalgia please, it's not what it used to be

   Oh oh oh, 'cos oh oh oh, it's never gonna last, ho ho ho

   Ho ho ho, 'cos no no no, no living in the past, no no no

   Liverpool we love you (when you say you'll follow me)

   Wherever in the world you are now (and you don't)

   Liverpool you say you want the world

   And you say you want it now

   Slurping your frothy coffee, plucking your Scouse brow

   Oh, no nostalgia please, it's not what it used to be

   Everton we know you're great...when are you ever any good ?

   Liverpool we love you (when you say you'll follow me)

   'Cos you know how to sing (and you don't)

   But Liverpool we hate you (when you say you'll follow me)

   You sing all the wrong songs (and you don't)

   Everton we know you're great...when are you ever any good ?

   Slurping your frothy coffee, plucking your Scouse brow

   When you say you'll follow me and you don't

5. Moment minor

   We biked up to the top of the hill

   And surrendered to the stars

   We spied over the city lights

   We learned nothing at all

   We knew nothing about anything

   But that moment was ours

   We bounced around to Remain in Light

   And surrendered to the drugs

   We laughed and smiled at everything

   But we knew nothing at all

   We knew nothing about anything

   But that moment was ours

   We free-wheeled down in the warm summer breeze

   And surrendered to the hills

   We caught our breath but crashed our bikes

   As we learned nothing at all

   We knew something about everything

   But that moment has gone (hear that moment)

6. What is this place ?

   What is this place ?

   Starlings sucking salt from scars

   Time is calm

   Space embalming

   Silent under the stars

   Each moment leads to a moment (you've seen it all)

   No moment has meaning (wait in line)

   Phasing and pulsing, flowing to a rhythm by Reich

   I go nowhere, I see no-one

   No list, water dripping, no purpose

   Meandering round and round to a muffled melody by Monk

   Imaginary numbers at the edge of reality

   Oh darling, what is this place ?

   Starlings sucking salt from scars (you've seen it all, wait in line)

   I know this numbing feeling, I know it on and on

   I go nowhere, I see no-one (what is this place ?)

   Darling, what is this place, starlings sucking salt from scars ?

   You've seen it all, wait in line

   I count the moon and tides, I count them twice a day

7. 12 notes

   You've got me dangling by a thread

   Snip snip drop

   I noted all the things you said

   12 notes

   Note one

   Start with yourself

   Note two

   No child is born with Fascist views

   Note three

   Pick up the mess left by your dog

   Note four

   Keep on walking in the fog, in the wind and the rain listen to the trees

   Note five

   You don't get much these days for 12 notes (12 notes is right)

   Note six

   Stop streaming music on your phone (12 notes is right)

   Note seven

   You keep me hanging on the line (ring ring ring ring ring ring)

   Note eight

   You've got to eat less meat, try fruit and leaves and beans and seeds

   Note nine

   Get on your bike and don't look back (for 12 miles)

   Note ten

   Not what you get it's what you give

   Note eleven

   And here we go one more time for 12 notes

   Note tweleve

   Stop flogging your song it's far too long (12 notes is right for the radio)

8. Losing it

   I like to feel like I'm out of control

   I like to feel like I'm out of control

   I'm losing it

   I'm losing it

   I hear the noises swirling round my head

   I'm losing it

   I hear the voices swirling round my head

   I'm losing it

   I like to feel like I'm out of control

   I like to feel like I'm out of control

   I'm losing it

   I'm losing it

   Stop

   There's more than one way to feel the love

   There's more than one way to feel the love

   Feel intimate

   Feel intimate

   Closer closer closer...closer stop

   There's only one way to learn and grow

   There's only one way to grow and learn

   Keep questioning

   Embrace the doubt

   Reject the fear, reject blind faith, lose control, reject blind faith

   Reject the fear, reject blind faith, lose control, reject blind faith

   I like to feel like I'm out of control

   I like to feel like I'm out of control

   I'm losing it

   I'm losing it

   Stop

9. Share their dreams

   Listen as they share their dreams

   Listen as they share their dreams

   Desperately clinging to their dreams (share their dreams)

   Yeah here come the Kirkby girls

   Dolled up to the nines in their lippy and curlers (Kirkby girls love curly hair)

   The've drunk all their drink now they're drunk on the train

   Off into town to dance on the tables (Kirkby girls)

   Desperately clinging to their dreams

   Listen as they share their dreams

   Here come the lads from Crocky and Nogsy

   Dolled uo to the nines in their trackies and trainees

   Show some respect for their dogs and their drugs

   Off into town to drink you under the table (show some respect)

   Desperately clinging to their dreams

   Listen as they share their dreams

   Share their dreams

   Share their dreams

10. Reference tone

    It's not the sound of my phone, I need a reference tone

    It's not the sound of your phone, I need a reference tone

    You think you're Thelonius Monk

    Now you're drunk again sitting at the pianner

    It's not the sound of my phone, I need a reference tone

    Stop the fuzz the humming white noise don't need the overtones

    Not the banging of wood in a cave when you're all alone

    First words a human speak when we learned to speak

    And then our brains explode

    I know you like your retro synths

    Play a simple note a sine wave drone

    We crowd sourced the frequency

    A burble or a squeak a high-pitched beep

    Don't need the sound of your phone

    I need my reference tone

    Play it play it play it play it

    It's not the squiggles on a musical page

    It exists (oscillates) in a space-time zone

    It's not the sound of your phone, I need my reference tone

    It's not the sound of your phone, I need my reference tone

    Don't need the sight of your drone, in my DM zone

11. Moment major

    We biked up to the top of the hill

    And surrendered to the stars

    We spied over the city lights

    We learned nothing at all

    We knew nothing about anything

    But that moment was ours

    We bounced around to Remain in Light

    And surrendered to the drugs

    We laughed and smiled at everything

    But we learned nothing at all

    We knew nothing about anything

    But that moment was ours

    We free-wheeled down in the warm summer breeze

    And surrendered to the hills

    We caught our breath but crashed our bikes

    As we learned nothing at all

    We knew something about everything

    But that moment has gone

12. Time has come

    The time has come, it's time to choose

    There are no answers in a bottle of booze

    You may be freezing

    You may be starving

    You may be aching, from your fingers to your toes

    I caught you sleeping on the kitchen floor

    The time has come, it's time to choose

    Get on your feet

    Get on your feet

    Get on your feet

    I hear them knocking on your door

    Maybe you voted maybe you spoiled

    Maybe you swallowed all the poisonous lies they told

    The time has come, it's time to choose

    Get on the streets

    Get on the streets

    Get on the streets

    You may be bruised

    You may be falling

    You may be pinned against the Palace walls

    Get off your knees

    God bleeding pleading

    It's time to choose, the time has come

    Get on your feet

    Get on your feet

    Get on the street
