Dark Light

All songs written by Aldous Harding

Cut it up, put it in my hand
You’ve become my joy you understand
Got a little colour in the pan
I love it

Hands on heels
A way of life, philosophy
Ennui can see no point to send to me

Up in the medley
Waste of time, they don’t care the least for me
Seem miles away

Come back
Come back and leave it in the right place
Come back
Come back and leave it in the right place

Hands on heels
A way of life, philosophy
Lick my instep, I miss the funk it leaves on me

I have the energy
No one look and a canny fucking fill
Don’t lie to me

Come back
Come back and leave it in the right place
Come back
Come back and leave it in the right place

Oh, the dirty of it
Ripped the label
You were chosen man
Holy

Party people, they all want to start at me
All I want is an office in the country

Wanted to see me, what you gonna do?
Now that you see me
Tick tock

Wanted to see me, what you gonna do?
Now that you see me
Tick tock

Oh, the dirty of it
Ripped the label
I believe him
Holy

All I want is an office in the country
All I want is an office in the country

Now that you see me, what you gonna do?
Wanted to see me
Tick tock

Wanted to see me, what you gonna do?
Now that you see me
Tick tock

Now that you see me, what you gonna do?
Wanted to see me
Tick tock

Now that you see me, what you gonna do?
Wanted to see me
Tick tock

Now that you see me, what you gonna do?
Wanted to see me
Tick tock

Now that you see me, what you gonna do?
Wanted to see me
Tick tock

Fever when we met at hotel reception
Never have I been so tired
You said, “You bet”
Guess we did what the other expected

Eleven, eleven days in the heat of the city
Together, I had stars coming all around me
And you let, let me in where a mother invested

I still stare at you in the dark
Looking for that thrill in the nothing
All my favorite places are bars

Lover, don’t you run at the easy part now
The weather opened up like a birthday card
And we forget one will fry if the other’s connected

Fever when we met at hotel reception
Never have I been so tired
You said, “You bet”
Guess we did what the other expected

Eleven, eleven days in the heat of the city
Together, I had stars coming all around me
And you let, let me in where a mother invested

I still stare at you in the dark
Looking for that thrill in the nothing
You know my favorite place is the start

Closer to you is not closer to me
Rolling, rolling free
I look away
But I’ve got my ticket on me all day
I used to love watching planes turn up there

Gimme an A
Gimme an L
Kidding, I can’t spell
Are you ready?

Oh, Crystal
I got the love for you now
Crystal
Not that you need it, eh girl?
Crystal

I look away
Have I had a wicket on me all day
I love watching paper planes burn out there

Gimme a K
Gimme an I
Alright, I’m on time
Are you ready?
You make that impossible face
You make it impossible

Oh, Crystal
I got the time for you now
Crystal
Now that you’ll spend it, eh girl?
Crystal

Oh, Crystal
I got the love for you now
Good luck, not that you’ll need it, eh girl?
Crystal

You make that impossible face
You make it impossible
You make that impossible face
You make it impossible
Oh, Crystal

Doors are the way you leave
Just be the way you are
Just be out and free
Can you imagine me?
Can you imagine me just being out and free?
Doors are the way you leave
Open it up to me

Beside everything I go by
Your b-sides on the lawn

Out on the lawn
How are things with me?
Are these lamps for free
They don’t mean a thing to me
They don’t mean a thing to me
All these lamps for free
I sowed these seeds
Why are you giving them back to me?

Beside everything I go by
I tried to send the tree ties
Up out of the flue
Now I’m losing too much time

Where is the same in me finding a hand in you?
You don’t want me to
But it’s my right to
Then if you’re not for me
Guess I am not for you
I will enjoy the blue
I’m only confused with you

Beside everything I go by
I tried to send the tree ties
Up out of the flue
Now I’m losing too much

Time flies
When you’re writing b-sides
I tried to send the tree ties
Up out of the flue
Now I’m losing you

Well you know I’m married
And I was bored out of my mind
Of all the way to eat a cake
This one surely takes the knife
You should stay, but you don’t
I should go, but of course I won’t
On the beat, in the snow
It’s on me and it costs a lot

I’ve never been in charge of any of it
I’ve never been in charge of any of it
Passion must play or passion won’t stay

What would it mean to hear from me
That I could hold a meeting for you?
You can have the pelican
Swim him ’til the river’s running clear
I fell off, that’s okay
I got back
Kinda lost my way

Voted love for my life, but I drifted off at the meeting twice
Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t stay

Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t
Passion must play or passion won’t stay

When I started out
I had much more than I have now
Oh, the map
You’ll see you have a long way back
And not again

Living for the things I love
Killing the ones that love me

Always there’s a marriage
Sad, true, and they do

Breathing time is a lonely state of mind
When it comes to eating time
How will I know the meal is mine?

One day
You won’t have to prove your love in any other way
But not today

Breathing time is a lonely state of mind
When it comes to eating time
How will I know the meal is mine?

Opening night
I remember all the lines
Okay
Love is the name of the game
You made such a mountain
She won’t be coming round

Try for any one note
Cover me in the sugar and be natural
I need the liberty
And I know people that I’ve been
Yeah, don’t waste one
Hopefully, it’s sugar

Company riding on my heels
What can they offer me?
Only us child
Honestly, if I change my mind
I know just were they’ll be
Staring at the Henry Moore

Sometimes shepherds have it right
Come to me now sugar
Be natural
I really love you
My daisy always trying to win the chain
Yeah, don’t waste one
Hopefully, it’s sugar
Hopefully, it’s sugar

Company riding on my heels
What can they can offer me?
Only us child
Honestly, if I change my mind
I know just where they’ll be

Company riding on my heels
What can they offer me?
Only us child
Honestly, if I change my mind
I know just where they’ll be
Staring at the Henry Moore

I whisper great love to you
How will she move in action?
Great love to you, great love
Telling you, he won’t look ’round
Here is the spot where we shot the bubble down

Don’t you wanna care for?
Don’t you wanna know?
Pieces of that tearing around lovers like me

I whisper great love to you
How will share move in action?
Great love to you, great love
Neighbours say I’m looking better
I’ll go over later on my bike

I’ll be fine, I’m a winner
You’re on my mind and it’s no trouble clown

Some people say
Give them the books and they will come running
But the books all change
Freedom go lightly
I feel me tightening up
I’m a little bit older, but I remain unchanged
And the folks who want me don’t have the things I’m chasing
No way

Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery
Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery

I’ll be all day getting the velvet back to you Bambi
Oh you feel the same do you?
Baby go lightly
I feel me tightening up

I’m a little bit older, but I remain unchanged
And the folks who wane me don’t have the things I need
No way

Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery
Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery

I’m a little bit older, but I remain unchanged
And the folks who want me don’t have the things I’m chasin’
No way

Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery
Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery

Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery
Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery

Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery
Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery

Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery
Here comes life with his leathery whip
Here comes life with his leathery leathery
