Thought we'd meet one last time
The way you move just bent my mind
In a deep dark trance you can’t see
Your fathomless eyes don't see me
Burned out words kiss goodbye
Silhouette ponytail
Your black hair swinging shakes my head
Shadow lies across the bed
Shake your head with your black ponytail
Shake your head with your black ponytail
Shake your head with your black ponytail
Shake your head with your black ponytail
In the glare of a headlight smile
Black ray gun shrinking man
Late night black lake
Sinking like a stone
Throw back words out my way
Looks like time to go
Shake your head with your black ponytail
Not dancing just saying no
Shake your head with your black ponytail
Shake your head with your black ponytail
Shake your head with your black ponytail
Shake your head with your black ponytail

Lyrics
I was looking for a smooth trip,
a blue sparkling cool dip,
you're wheels were spinning as you hummed 'Summer Breeze'
and slipped through every cocktail bar.
I was thinking you were up there,
then I was thinking you were out there.
You shot the breeze and took a rocket-ship,
you took your Nissan up to the stars.
Falling for you, falling for you,
Falling for you, falling over for you.
I was looking for a smooth trip,
but you span off at the first slip,
we're off the road I'm looking at you
I was thinking you were up there,
then I was thinking you were out there.
You shot the breeze and took a rocket-ship,
you took your Nissan up to the stars.
Falling for you, falling for you,
Falling for you, falling over for you.

Jim Rockford's Smile

Lyrics
Digital numbers show the score
Three hours or more before the dawn
World spin around, black on black
They lie they say he's coming back
Suddenly California sun
Burning the corner of the room
Jim Rockford's smile eases my mind
Wide sun filled streets in a wider world
He eases my mind
Beneath the empty cyan sky
Cruising the sidewalk, Jim and I
Your neon name sparks over town
Stumbling, falling, hit the ground
He eases my mind
He eases my mind

Lyrics
Mercury Soul
You close your eyes,
the waking dreams
are all too real.
Mercury Soul
No half-full glass,
you drank it down
and you want some more.
Mercury Soul
Want to be made whole
but being split
is all you know.
Mercury Soul
Your head is hot
but your eyes are cold,
you’ve got a Mercury Soul.
Mercury Soul
Your twisted smile
says every silver lining
has a cloud.
Mercury Soul
Technicolour highs
switch and your day ends
in black and white.
Mercury Soul
The lead-filled days
weigh down upon
a quicksilver mind.
Mercury Soul
You’re so hot
but the world grows cold,
you’ve got a Mercury Soul.
You’ve got a Mercury Soul.

Man Made Of Smoke

Lyrics
He’s here, he’s there,
he’s everywhere,
the man with the boozer head,
the man made of smoke.
So near, but far,
he’s simmering in his car,
then shimmering like a star,
for hours and hours.
He tries to stay
but you can’t see him for most of the day,
can’t really hear him, but that’s his way.
The man’s made of smoke.
He’s up, he’s down,
the slightest breeze blows him around,
the heated air sends his eyes to the ground,
the man made of smoke.
He screams and shouts,
but on the inside, it’s not coming out.
He’s trying hard not to think about
being engaged.
He’s up, he’s down,
the escalator moves him around,
the video loop sends his eyes to the ground,
the man’s made of smoke.
He’s here, he’s there,
he’s everywhere,
the man with the boozer head,
the man made of smoke.

Lyrics
Try to keep cool when you’re overheated,
I need to find a space to loose myself in.
Use more words and my head will burst open,
keep pushing me and I might fall over.
Crash around in my mind, ‘til everything is broken.
Sweet words crushing down, your love is a hammer.
I try to keep cool when you’re overheated,
I need to find a space to loose myself in.
Take a look in my eyes, you’ll see I’m overconnected.
When I open my mind, it’s all interconnected.
Try reading your mind and the chaos reflected.
Take a look in my eyes, you’ll see I’m overconnected.

Lyrics
Fallen into your world, telling me your name.
Watched the landscape changing, nothing seems the same.
Walking out into your world, strangest flowers in bloom,
petals coloured acid shades filled up my room.
Lost my way around your world, tell me – what’s my name?
Gazing at the pictures and falling through the frame.
Speeding to the horizon, cannot see the end.
Picked me up with your bullet train and let me down again.
(You) never stop, never stop, can’t give in, won’t let it drop.
Lost my way in your world, orbiting your loopy star
while you search for your story, looking for the start.
Trying to find a way home, nothing looks the same.
You’re a black hole waiting to happen, tell me – what’s your name?
(You) never stop, never stop, can’t give in, won’t let it drop.

Lyrics
You are missing
even when you’re here.
Cells soak up the inky blue.
Indelible,indelible you.
About three,
Wednesday afternoon
the sky turned black, bleeding through.
Indelible, indelible you.
You are missing
even when you’re here.
You saturate my every hour.
Indelible, indelible you.
You weren’t kidding when you said
you were missing.
You are missing
even when you’re here.

Love and Hate in a Different Time
by Gabriels
This song deserves some flowing textile on the dance floor. Wind up the volume to fluorescent. Silverlake love the left field electric noises and strings. Hey LA - got me all goosebumps.

Flock (Deluxe Edition)
by Jane Weaver
Met Jane at a festival and asked how she got the sound on her live vocals. Loved them then and sounding so good on record too. Check out the 'Heartlow' video.

Deeply thick and funky, stripped to the good bones of hook with a cinematic edge.
