lyrics

we shine our torch
at the moon
mask removed

round here we welcome the era of a new weather
the way Ocean Colour Scene welcome a blether way Weller
I'm a shell of my former self a storm dweller
mumbling in the rain like um... brella
well rumbled by the same, lame miss fortune teller
who cost a fortune and then claimed only spirits could help her
embezzled bedazzled frazzled and dishevelled
made medallions outta molehills that bike could pedal
but when you meddle with my metal you will never settle
coz my ghost will fill your conscious and I wants the medal back
curse that fellow jack magic yellow turns black
turn sunny oil painting into dark artefact
but bitterness in death can spawn a birthday mess
and literally you become the wicked wetch you detest
at a push at a guess weakness is a test
severed hearts 7 daze
play your card, be my guest

we shine our torch at the moon but want no trouble
wondering if we share an algorithmic bubble
no purpose so worthless on the surface with the others
I wonder who recovers there`s not enough buffers
bludgeoned to a pulp by murderous thundercunts
ridiculous sycophants blubbering money shots
I never felt I fit in I was flirting on the margins
bumbling in abundance abandoned in the jargon
moonlight flitting in and out not listening just drifting
deleted my space coz the planet was shifting
ruffled feathers run ragged on egg shells and tinder hooks
scrabbling for scraps over trap doors and dirty looks
shoulda looked at books but got seduced (ram shackles in rum shacks)
where card games turn to darts in the click of a gun pact
traded place with a face and removed the mask
played a spade then an ace then we fade to black
