I don’t really like 6 o'clock in the morning When words turn to fog in my mouth I’m looking out the window at the frost on the grass And I don’t really want to go out The floorboards creak And the house is cold But it’s nothing to do with us It’s not even winter like other places in the world But i guess that’s a plus Won't you lay down next to me and warm my frozen bones

Don Draper 04:25
Hey there captain that's a tidal wave you're sailing us into Maybe you didn't listen maybe you didn't think this through Those orders you shout they sound a lot like hyperbole But sailing with a blindfold just believing what you think you see If two crewman wanna love each other don't you think it should be so? You just cover your eyes and say no, no, no, no, no no! You're making me mad, man... Hey there captain surely you can feel the rising seas Shipmates in shadowed corners I think I can smell mutiny Hey there captain do you think you'll ever learn? Or just you keep on sailing until you fall off the edge of the earth If I show you the evidence that we're sinking our own boat You just block your ears and say no, no, no, no, no no! You're making me mad, man... You're a man... man who is in denial man who is out of time

Olden Days 03:45
Typewriter peppers the page like rain at the window Rage is my parents' alarm again And I'm writing down my favourite songs But I'm not making any friends Taping my favourite songs all night from the radio Gotta get the DJ's cadence right Flinching as the car deck swallows another compilation Tangled around the heads real tight Olden Days Playing air guitars on an imaginary stage Tell me now do you remember the olden days Saved up my money bought a little 45 But I left it on the front seat in the sun Didn't play too good after that Better go back buy another one Walking around I got every song in the world right here in my pocket Now that my phone's not stuck to the wall Oh when you think about those days Do you miss the olden days at all

Magpie 04:42
Wake up in the morning to the magpie calls Singing man what a beautiful dawn Can you hear him while you’re sleeping there Can you hear him wherever you’ve gone? I see the midday moon It's watching over you Sometimes I think about what’s outside the sky Try and imagine where we’re going to I remember your eyes over the sea The night you spoke to me And I fell asleep that night Knowing everything would be alright We used to play our games on these streets Past the vampire's house we walked This morning the shops are full but I don’t know the people It’s been too long since we talked The magpie said it'll be ok (all right) He's been watching over you All this day (time) And with him by your side You can rest here on the hill

Little Tree 05:38
You planted a little tree Planted here next to me I sat and watched it grow From my window Now that tree has a little bird Sitting on its limb And you're gonna keep her From the rain and the wind The tree grows fast and strong Just like we thought all along Maybe i'll get a tear in my eye As she leaves the branch and learns to fly But the tree will always stand A place for you to land When you need to spend some time at home...
7.
I hope you’re sweating in the dock Now that you’ve finally been caught Don’t turn your mind To last minute denial The paperwork you should’ve filed Has it all About the trust you have abused How when we thought you were there for us It’s clear you’re there for you And getting as much as you can For yourself and your clan Before you’re unmasked and we all learn the truth But on judgement day We give our power away And we wonder Why we yell and complain But end up with the same Losers pulling us under again You swear you didn’t know any better You wrote your declaration in a letter That’s not worth the paper you smeared gravy on How I wish you find that train was long gone But we’ve been watching and As witnesses for the prosecution and you’re done You can’t even run You’re tied to those pork barrels And the baggage from your travels Repeating all your crimes The profligate is shut for good this time
8.
And in the future when all we have chips under our skin so we don't need the keys to get in And we all run around Like protons doing laps of the Hadron Collider We need to take a deep breath and walk around outside Slow down Get a song in your head and sing it out loud like there's no one around Apply brakes Remember when we stayed up all night singing songs that we liked from our mix tapes And in the future The car drives itself while we do work in the backseat Still you feel incomplete Now in the future When all we consume consists of zeros and ones Remember that going offline can be done

about

Mini album? Double EP? Who even knows anymore - what we're sure of is that we had a great time writing these songs and they're finally getting released... on the 5th anniversary of our first gig even! Stick the headphones on and hit play!
