Every year, exactly this time of year
they go up, balloon up into the air,
and hold onto one who is near
remember everything is here
(x2)

every year about this time of year
i am with you as if you are here,
i remember the way it fell through
you and all we all could do
(x2)

i hope that you will be careful
the stories you told are hopeful
i hope that they aren't just artful
i hope that you will be careful

. . .


And i was a boy from school
helplessly helping all the rules
and there was a boy at school
hopelessly wrestling all his fools
and there was a girl at school
blaming all the words she stole from home
nothing would keep her a child
long hours don't ..???..? though we try

we try but we don't have long
we try but we don't belong
we try but we didn't have long
we try but we didn't belong

now i meet you on the street
helplessly breaking rules we meet
life's unfound (?) and love's...??
say goodbye to nothing everything caused
now i need you on my street
hopelessly breaking rules we meet
love's unfound....and love's...???
say goodbye to everything, nothing caused

. . .


Colours are what
keep me alive
colours are what
to hold in my head

colours are where my
my old meets new
colours are where my
my brain finds blue

colours and colours and colours of colours
colours and colours and colours of colours
colours and colours and colours of colours
colours and colours and colours of colours
colours and colours and colours of colours

bursts are where
i find a face
bursts are made
to colour me rich
bursts are blocks
stickle bricks
bursts of colour
until i'm sick

colours and colours and colours of colours
(i only wanted for to see)
colours and colours and colours of colours
(there's nothing in this heart but me)
colours and colours and colours of colours
(everything you want is not free)
colours and colours and colours of colours

colours and colours and colours of colours
(i'm everything a girl could need)
colours and colours and colours of colours
(there's nothing in this heart but me)
colours and colours and colours of colours
(if everything you want is free)

. . .


Laid back
laid back
laid back, we'll give you laid back
laid back
laid back
laid back, i'll give you laid back

over and over and over and over and over
like a monkey with a miniature cymbal
the joy of repetition really is in you
under and under and under and under and under
the smell of repetition really is on you
and when i feel this way i really am with you

laid back
laid back
laid back, i'll give you laid back

over and over and over and over and over
like a monkey with a miniature cymbal
the joy of repetition really is in you
under and under and under and under and under
the smell of repetition really is on you
and when you look this way i really am with you

started thinking about what i to have to do (tell you)
i got to thinking that i mean just what you do (tell you)
started thinking about what i to have to do (tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you)

Come around and around just like we breakdown
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the oak of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure
x2

Lay down in our beds, it's caught in our heads
There's a room full of notes that build to a dread
Is there room to ignore what we are here for
Turn on the lights and open the door.

Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, the end is a start
x2

Come around and around just like we breakdown
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the oak of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure

Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, the end is a start
x2

. . .


I'm looking for a face to attack
it could be that im kissing your kneck
you will not know because im laid back
so watch yourself i'll come with a smack

I've hit you hard it's time for some bounce
i've left a scar there's blood in our dance
i rock the club straphobia stance
now fix yourself your heart's in my lungs

Sip on something sleepy why not get a little overdose
Sip on something sleepy why not get a little overdose
Sip on something sleepy why not get a little overdose
Sip on something sleepy why not get a little overdose

What can you find in parade
what can you find a rave
what can be drunk in a dream
what can be dreampt in a dream

It's all a tech it's all a tongue talk
i'll spell it out just pass me the chalk
if i could teach you soon would be taught
we're looking for something to report

What can you find in parade
what can you find a rave
what can be drunk in a dream
what can be dreampt in a dream

. . .


Look after me and i will look after you
thats something we both forgot to do
x2

i find it hard to see your face, du du de de hay
cannot remember it well enough, only the details such, then i see it in my head,
when i am with you its familiar and beautiful, and ?

as night comes in i know it better, seeing it clear again

look after me and i will look after you
thats something we both forgot to do
x2

cus if i squint then i see your so, far from me, far from me
as if my miralce i see the room i see ?

the words and images they come back to me, back to me
crystal clear in my head, but its behind the screen

look after me and i will look after you
thats something we both forgot to do
x3

everytime i see your face i break down and cry,
i see it in your family as they walk on by

come back to me and ill come back to you,
thats something we dont always do
X2

Excuse me sir
I'm lost
I'm looking for a place
where I can get lost
I'm looking for a home
For my malfunctioning being
I'm looking for the mechanical music museum

This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you
For you
This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you

Excuse me miss
I'm a dog on heat
I'm a complicated being
With love songs to eat
I'm a poor, starving baby
who can march all night
I'm a mechanical music man
And I'm
Starting a fire

Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground

Excuse me child
I am trying to see
all the colours of wonder your brightness can be
return to nothingness enjoy
just might be right
but prepare yourself
for a mechanical fright

This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you
For you
This is a warning
I'll spell it out for you
For you

Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground
Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground

Excuse me son I'm found
I'm looking for a place
where I was once found
There's nothing in a world
where the melody is broken
There's always some way
to make a silence be spoken

Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground
Hot Chip will break your legs
Snap off your head
Hot Chip will put you down
Under the ground

I do my best to dehydrate me but I think you'll forsake me when im deep inside you'll make me like im locked in a lake. I do my best to rehydrate
you at the risk of [absurdity] theres nothing left between us but a state of emergency.

Arrest yourself,
Arrest yourslef,
Arrest your self,
Arrest yourself.

If theres one thing in my diction then i think its affliction If theres fact amongst my fiction then i think its effected
If its lose around your neck then take it only with affection If you feel it coming on [then together we're defeated]

Arrest yourself
Arrest yourself
Arrest yourself
Arrest yourself
(make me tougher
make me suffer)
Arrest yourself
(make me tougher make me suffer)
Arrest Yourself
(make me thougher, make me suffer)
Arrest yoursef
(make me tougher, make me suffer)
Arrest yourself

Like all birds together we will squawk and we squeak
the joy comes from all our beaks
and ringing bells is our fun
now our ass is moving as one..
if we are forgetting all the rules that we learnt
when all the rule books are burnt
and just like a follows b...
our chorus will always be...
So glad to see that you came...
..we hope you come again etc.

I have but one true friend
she sings to me
in my solitude
and i know her name
i tried to know her..
in all her changes
but i don't know her...

. . .


'Scuse me sir i would like to leave the ride
Too many emergencies this time
I forgot, i forgot all this, all the trouble at my fingertips
Too many emergencies this time

'Scuse me sir but what is in your bag
Feels like those evil things you had
I forgot, I forgot all this, all these things that they feed us with
Feels like those evil things inside

We caught the fire but the body escaped
Love other people but I don't know their names
I don't know their names

I'm in no fit state
I'm in no fit shape
To fall in love with you
To make a record of my life
To lose any more than I need
To watch my fingers bleed
To bust my body up
To drink out of your cup
To act a fool in love
Acting hard's been tough
To act a fool in love
Acting hard's been tough

. . .


Deck shoes, part green,
part burgendy, your size,
done gone gone
a healthy body , emergency
flesh show, flesh gone gone

and my no go
joyful, careful, bespoke
gone gone gone

all of, every single, urgency, nothing
gone gone gone

im washed up, washed out,
the sufrs up, im made of doubt,
for what i need to say

explain all, has happened, to me and you,
it just wont, wash with you,
it wont wash with you
