Happy Ending

|
One day, the wind will blow away this stubborn joke
It has to happen some time
Insanity plateaus
Prosecco in the trash
The camera never lied
Tears in your motel room
We could have laughed, but we just tried
Good outcomes and happy endings are scribbled in my heart
Good outcomes and happy endings
Baby, where do you want to start?
It’s taken a lifetime to make it home
Chaos is so unkind on this pothole-ridden road
Good outcomes and happy endings are scribbled in my heart
Good outcomes and happy endings
Baby, where do you wanna
Whenever you wanna
Just a melody doing what I can to find a harmony
Or just a harmony doing what I can to find a melody
I have no choice…
Good outcomes and happy endings
Baby, you scribbled ‘em in my heart
Good outcomes and happy endings
Baby, where do you wanna
Whenever you wanna
Good outcomes and happy endings
Baby, you scribbled ‘em in my heart
Good outcomes and happy endings
Baby, where do you wanna
Whatever you wanna
Where do you wanna
Whenever you wanna
Where do you wanna
Whatever you wanna do
What do you wanna do
What do you wanna do
I really love you
I really want you
Good outcomes and happy endings
Baby, where do you wanna
Whatever you want
Whenever you want
Whatever you want
Whenever you want
Whatever you want

The Fever
04:57
|

|
Youth: youth has no age
We are the wind
Love is on the house
Tomorrow’s everything
Stung, stumbling home
Oblivion and beyond
Seventy-two hours until the fever breaks
Until the fever breaks
Hard to love stealing a living
Thriving on fumes until the fever…
Until the fever breaks
Heavy, mental silence like the nightfall
Bleak, black ball…
Until the fever
Until the fever breaks
Now, now is the time
Turn the lights on
When we fight it’s like the sunrise
Let’s forget this age of simpletons
The little incisions
We’ll all come together until the fever breaks
Until the fever breaks
Hard to love stealing a living
Thriving on fumes until the fever…
Until the fever breaks
Heavy, mental silence like the nightfall
Bleak, black ball…
Until the fever
Until the fever breaks
Now is the time to turn the lights on
When you fight, it’s like the sunrise
Let’s forget the age of little incisions
Until the fever breaks
Hard to love stealing a living
Thriving on fumes until the fever…
Until the fever breaks
Heavy, mental silence like the nightfall
It’s a bleak, black ball…
Until the fever
Until the fever breaks

Beautiful

We are beautiful
You make me want to stay
We are beautiful
You make me want to say
That we’re higher than the mountains
And we’re deeper than the sea
Out there on the horizon is where I want us to be
All the way up baby
In your territory
All the way up
You make me think the thoughts I’m dying to think
When my love isn’t here
You make me think the thoughts I’m trying to think
When my love disappears
All the way up baby
In your territory
All the way up
For we are beautiful
You make me want to stay
We are beautiful
You make me want to say
That we’re higher than the towers
And we’re deeper than the streets
Out 3 there on the high rises is where I want us to meet
You make me think the thoughts I’m dying to think
When my love isn’t here
You make me think the thoughts I’m trying to think
When my love disappears
All the way up baby
In your territory
All the way up
For we are beautiful
You make me want to stay
We are beautiful
You make me want to say
That we’re higher than the mountains
And we’re deeper than the sea
Out there on the horizon is where I want us to be

Hurricanes
05:02
|

|
Edge and sauce and jizz in the jacuzzi
Sidelong glances and low-slung hips
Savage memory, easy and transitory
Chemsex poster lips
I was the first to become a zombie
The last of the living dead
At any moon, at any time, and/or any night
Breakfast burger or bed?
Let the scarred pity the unscathed
Just like the scrap of the crash has compassion for hurricanes
Lonely places are places to be lonely
I extol the rock n roll
Weekend eyes are weakened liabilities
My chemsex poster beau
Wear and tear and funking on a Friday
Season of the supermoon
Sleep it off and sober it up
Hadron residue
Let the scarred pity the unscathed
Just like the scrap of the crash has compassion for hurricanes
And blow it away…
Scarred
Unscathed
Crash
Hurricanes
No more last hurrahs
If you wanna be reckless
You’re an ice cube in a glass
Let the tiredness swim against the high tide
The movement of the planets in your hieroglyphic spine
Don’t let the language owe you now
There’s an avalanche of consequences tracking you down
Be at peace beneath the radar
Or be a dick spit baby ‘cause you know that you are
Let the scarred pity the unscathed
Let the scrap of the crash have compassion for a hurricane
You’d better believe it and let it blow away
Do the scarred pity the unscathed?
Does the scrap of the crash have compassion for a hurricane?
Whatcha gonna do, boy?
I dunno.
Whatcha gonna do?

All In The World
04:13
|

Each note has a bitter edge
In a self-centred classic for overgrown children
And this is a…
And this is a…
This is a catalogue of fools
High winds and grit in my eye
We are all in the world at one time
We are all in the world
All in the world
This is what rush hour looks like
We are all in the world at one time
We are all in the world
All in the world
All in the world
Pins break on dragon scales
This is my return to the louche years
Back to the numberless days
And the hangovers
And the hangovers
The hangover that never fades
High winds and grit in my eye
We are all in the world at one time
We are all in the world
All in the world
This is what rush hour looks like
We are all in the world at one time
We are all in the world
All in the world
All in the world
Yeah
So, when you’ve written me out of the script
Created a world that I don’t exist in
Keep your eye on the page
It’s taken a lifetime
It’s taken a lifetime
A lifetime to reach to this age
High winds and grit in my eye
We are all in the world at one time
We are all in the world
All in the world
This is what rush hour looks like
We are all in the world at one time
We are all in the world
All in the world
All in the world
Yeah
All in the world
All in the world

Diamond Dust
03:35
|

|
Vibe is the mother of necessity
A lickle bass and the tiki, tiki, tiki
We reinvent the cacophony
With this kind of majority Babylon beat
My money can’t keep up with me
Squander your high on pornography
And if you jam slowly
You’re in my aerosol buddy
My sunny day friend
Like a man who once was
Diamond dust in my eyes
As the fog blew in with the night
Closing in without you
Kiss your sunsets goodbye
Diamond dust in my eyes
Vibe like the mother of catastrophe
I don’t wanna be a casualty
In a shitty little odyssey
Between sanity and vanity
Don’t come for my humanity
Herky-jerky not too prissy not too preppy
Rock the jelly; make peace with your belly
And the clash of the frequency
Or maybe give me an hour
And then give me a dollar
And then give me an hour
Give me…
My sunny day friend
Like a man who once was
Diamond dust in my eyes
As the fog blew in with the night
Closing in without you
Kiss your sunsets goodbye
Diamond dust in my eyes
The story of tomorrow
Nothing ever tell me everything that I need to know
This is a need to know
This is a battle of the ego
She put she hand ‘pon the bible for drama
Smack the bass down ‘pon my black panorama
Welcome to the double bubble
It isn’t easy being fearless
This is a lethal mess
Diamond dust in my eyes
As the fog blew in with the night
Closing in without you
Kiss your sunsets goodbye
Diamond dust in my eyes

The Skin I'm In
04:22
|
|||
|
I lie awake at night ‘cause I listen to a guy theorise about the rise of the Reich
Acts of God and politics collide and I wonder if I understood the guy right
There’s just something in the air; we might not even sense it there
Too hyped, too adrenalized, you take another ride, you’re rushing in like the high tide
When it comes to the news we break like waves on the beach
With all the highs and all the lows, there are reasons we don’t sleep, you know
Some nights, we can really see what reads like a reality we don’t wanna receive
Taking a knee in the land of the free
Is it time to come clean about the troubling place in your heart for the skin I’m in?
If all lives matter
If all lives matter
Black lives matter
So grab you camera to film the badge – flash
The riot gear is gonna go clickety-clash
Take you for a ride and you pay the toll
And white is the contract, black as the ghetto
Looking at you through a fortified window
Gonna have fun at the gun show
Check me stepping out with my dad
Carrying a bible in a Max Mara bag
And when the blood is moving through his body like sand in an upturned hourglass
And breath by breath you knew they heard him say, “Momma, I’m fading fast.”
And now the badge is on my ass with teargas
I nearly got a rubber bullet in the eye
Paddy wagon on the prowl for the next big black prize
They don’t believe, “I can’t breathe.”
All they see is the skin I’m in…
If all lives matter
If all lives matter
Black lives matter

Maybe

I shoulda paid for the ignorance
It’s been an education
Don’t dictate the terms to me
From the empire of your intentions
It’s always sunrise on the asset strip
The flesh is willing, but the soul’s so slick
This is the freeze that freezes antifreeze
The ping behind the pain that never heeds
‘Cause I don’t wanna talk about it
Uh uh
See if we can survive it
No sir
Take the conclusion with you
We don’t need to over-analyse it
Because the voices in our heads
Have a mistaken take on what’s been going on and…
Maybe we fell in love
Maybe we just fell in love
It takes forever to make it easier
Enjoy the freedom
I burn my brain
You’re a season late
Can you feel the sun on your ass now?
And all the drama of a passing trade
You’re waiting for the sugar to percolate
You’re dragging up the dregs and all the dirty traffic
Is that supposed to be some kind of aphrodisiac?
‘Cause I don’t wanna talk about it
Uh uh
See if we can survive it
No sir
Take the conclusion with you
We don’t need to over-analyse it
Because the voices in our heads
Have a mistaken take on what’s been going on and…
Maybe we fell in love
Maybe we just fell in love

You can move like a shadow my thin-skinned love
Or squander this feeling or the lightness of the lightest touch
We mine the wildernesses within
Tune in and listen up the heart
It’s wild and crazy-eyed
And ready for another ride
We believe in real thoughts in real time
Hush now baby, don’t economise
If we believe in real thoughts in real time
All we gotta do is prang within the thoughts
We always can
You can stray into my flight path
Darken the sky
And you don’t have to make me laugh or use the flash for my photographs
And you can think as much as you wish
From the essay comes the synthesis
And all good things segue
And yesterday’s news is still today’s
We believe in real thoughts in real time
Hush now baby, don’t economise
If we believe in real thoughts in real time
All we gotta do is prang within the thoughts
We always can
Do you believe in real thoughts in real time

Still gonna sail this close to the wind
Still gonna fly this near to the sun
Still gonna pray, thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
Gonna keep on believing
I said, you gotta keep on believing
Otherwise
Otherwise
Otherwise
Gotta keep on
Still gonna walk where the angels fear
Looking for love in a vale of tears
For three-hundred and sixty-five days of another year
Gonna keep on believing
I said, you gotta keep on believing
Otherwise
Otherwise
Otherwise
Gotta keep on
Gotta keep on
Gotta keep on
I said, you gotta keep on believing
Otherwise
Otherwise
Otherwise
I said, you gotta keep on believing

Gotta keep on
Gotta keep on
Gotta keep on

Aurora (Parts 1&2)

Aurora, can you see what we’re living in?
This is hard.
Aurora, can you feel us?
Can you heal us?
Have a heart.
Somebody said that utopia has surrendered to dystopia
But you gotta get back to your life
These are tyrannosaurus times
Aurora, can you see what we’re living in?
This is hard.
Aurora, can you feel us?
Can you heal us?
Have a heart.
Aurora, can you see what we’re living in?
This is hard.
Aurora, can you feel us?
Can you heal us?
Have a heart.
Sometimes it feels like the darkness is an inhalation away
Like using sunshine for pleasure before a hurricane…
Aurora…
And I’m just out here in the wild
I’m just another mother’s child
And eternity ain’t gonna save the day
I know that age happens to youth
And nowadays we bespoke truth
And I can hear the world beseeching
Aurora, we’re beseeching, we’re beseeching
Will we forever turn around and face the other way?
Aurora, we’re beseeching, we’re beseeching
Will you forever turn around and stage another day?
Aurora…

If you like Happy Ending, you may also like:
supported by 15 fans who also own “Happy Ending”
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!

Absolutely fantastic album, love all the tracks! For me personally this album captures the spirit that is the UK and those that refuse to give up. Keep on and never stop creating, writing, and collaborating. Thank you.
