She called me sir, Are you sure? I don’t feel responsible, A gentleman, Oh not again, It’s reprehensible. And the good ol’ days they Seem so far away And the good ol’ days they Didn’t always feel that way. Looking back I don’t regret a thing I’d do it all again yeah, Skipping school and all day drinking, Throwing up in the evening, Late nights, no sleep til morning, Getting home when the day was dawning, Looking back I wouldn’t change a thing, I don’t regret anything yeah Greying hair And out of shape Working for a living Out of touch And out of time A product of my era I guess I should accept that I am older now I guess I should accept that I’m an adult now Looking back I don’t regret a thing I’d do it all again yeah, Skipping school and all day drinking, Throwing up in the evening, Late nights, no sleep til morning, Getting home when the day was dawning, Looking back I wouldn’t change a thing, I don’t regret anything yeah

Can’t see, Can’t breathe, Smoke is all I smell, Rising seas, Burning fields, And a sky grey with ash. They have the might, They’re in control, They make the laws, They set the tone, They know what’s best, Or so they drawl, How can we change, When the old won’t grow. Dig deep, Get rich, Whatever the cost, I’ll keep trying, If you’re dying, It’s no skin off my nose. They have the might, They’re in control, They make the laws, They set the tone, They know what’s best, Or so they drawl, How can we change, When the old won’t grow.

Progression is slow Ambition is tiresome You climb one mountain Then you see a higher one, haha Being good is not good enough You need access to excel Oh my word, I'm so one note And my outlook it don't look well You'll have to speak up No one can hear you Enjoy your stand up desk We'll speak again in a year or two

Your Move Chuckles 02:28
lyrics

Borrowing obscurities from obscurities These missives sifted through a machine Trying to alight to a centre, a rhythm Creative arrhythmia through a machine Hit a brick wall Wait until Monday morning It’s not happening A machination manifest In unfinished words and sentences Barely sand, barely water, bearable now Curable so heading up as a parabola These missives sifted through a machine It's my machine, my machine Tomorrow feet on the floor for security Word one to umpteen an atrocity How is that helpful? It’s a desperate moment And I’ll tell you why Lights under my feet as I dance To the curated rhythms of my chapel of the morning Where I enter my machine, enter my machine It is machine, it is my machine They’re my machines They’re my machines Mine mine Mine mine mine Your move, chuckles

Globular 04:44
lyrics

I wish I had no corners I wish my lines weren't straight My body feels so alien Can I be born the wrong shape? Sweet, rounded spheroid Not a nub in sight You'll roll gently downhill Spinning off stage right You take such pretty pictures In sporting magazines Your sunkissed circumference Haunts my fever dreams I look down and see angles Jagged, pointed peaks You beautiful rotund bastard How globular you seem I know this isn't healthy I know my mind's not right I know that after surgery I won't heal overnight "Body dysmorphia?" The doctor frowns at me Yes, I'm sure I want this Yes, I've tried therapy I know that there's no going back I know you'll be able to tell I don't want cubes of my own So fuck it, what the hell Cut off my vertices Smoothe out my shell Fix me, shape me, heal me Make me globular as well
