Pig 03:48
So here we are again at the start, Lets get stuck. These rooms are all reminders of you. Your feelings aren’t in touch with the words that are coming out of your lungs. Calm now, lets both cool off. We’ve both said things that we are not proud of. How did we get so tired. Those pills were no good for you. They’ve turned you into something you are not, something I just can’t stop. I’ll wait. For you to come back home. Forget about all that keeps me from you. This house built from bricks and stone stands as a monument to the lies we told. How did we get so tired. Those pills were no good for you. They’ve turned you into something you are not, something I just can’t stop. I’ll wait. For you to come back round again and fall in to our bed.

Baboon 03:26
While time waits for no man I’ll be here in winter. Tear down your baracades so I may enter. Your lips are warm they comfort me. Open up and lets begin. So I’ll lay on this bed that I have made. So soundly sleep and whisper your name. Oooooh you…you burn me up. One touch and I am in a trance like state. Entwinning our fates to another the cost of our will now both bound to each other. What was in your head when you said “until death”? The marks upon your skin tell tales while envy mocks without remorse and ties you up in knots. One touch and I am in a trance like state. Entwinning our fates to another the cost of our will now both bound to each other. What was in your head when you said “until death”? Your lies unfold like lines that were left in turn and consequently told all.

Panda 03:27
I’m in love! are the 3 words I hope to hear next year. Another place another time another twinkle in eyes caught between awkward glances in crowded social scenes, another breeding ground for apathy to tire me into indifference. Now that I’m numb to places I had run from. Know when you’re wrong it’s cos you’re fallible just like everyone. Just stuck between a lampshade and the drunk. Sentenced to an evening as the party entertainment’s prop. Oh but it’s only you that I am thinking of. Please return to me, cos it’s so… So hard to take that I might break. I’m discovering that there’s so much to consider worthwhile, but most of all I’ve learned to hate that I’m still stuck on you. If time has taught us this much, it’s that honesty is the cornerstone of trust. Well to tell the truth I’m tired of watching clocks, waiting for endings of evenings that never seem to stop. Enough! In short I’ve come back to the places I had run from. You saw it all fall to pieces, now it’s so…

Gibbon 04:26
Once more in to breaches I cannot gap. One more chance to second guess your thoughts. My friends said that you would be a tough nut to crack. Come back lets settle this up… …and down my spine, the faint tingle keeps me up at night. So while you dream I lie awake and look to the stars No answers forthcoming I find myself locked in your arms. Once more in to breaches I cannot gap. One more chance to second guess your thoughts. My friends said that you would be a tough nut to crack. Come back lets settle this up. Like earth and dust We’re one and the same; insignificant. Well who am I to presume that we were all but gone? Perpetually complexing the simple. I for one am done. You brought this on yourself. Our problems had enough time on the shelf. We made the same mistakes, lived our lives without the give and the take. The time we spent apart Served to remind me of when we’d talk. My one and sole regret are the thoughts that went left unsaid.

Rabbit 04:45
Move over it’s getting kind of late. Eyelids grow heavy and at this hour start to ache. The covers hide away All our mistakes. And so do I stop to question why do… …White feathers dance in my room while I’m too tired to sleep? It seems your pillow case all trussed in lace was no match for me and you. No matter what it is Your hurting again. Like lessons learnt in ways, stunned silence reigns. Clear like crystal I understand your malcontent and while words may not quite mean as much, I hope this never ends.

Badger 04:53
I read your call sign; Butterfly. Thoughts of wings open wide, cast in sunlight. In my hand your bones are brittle and you burst in to flame. Untie me and let me leave. So what if I should forget to breathe? Will white light rescue me and secure my salvation? I can all but hope. That time will tell that this was real enough for me. Blessed with hindsight, it was clear to me. Your reckless advancements came with no guarantees. My mind’s made up. we were never in love. So what’s lefts absolution for the weight of our sin. so if there’s no sign of the morrow our souls remain clean.

Crocodile 02:31
Too cold, like ice to touch. You hold on far to much. God knows why we’re in love. When you throw your temper out of doors that I cannot follow through and yet…you grow ever near. I promise I will not see out this night without comforting and holding you. Your eyes alight, they’ve never shined so bright for just one second I’m lost in you.

Chinchilla 04:27
So far we’ve lost focus. Lets just concentrate on words that could mean everything. On nights like this, we drink ourselves dry and make promises without intention. So fortunate that this was brought up, the last time. As I recall, I can’t hold up your every expectation. On nights like this, we drink ourselves dry and make promises without intention. My God, is this what we’ve become? Living parodies of love and loss, can we really be all that lost? So fortunate that this was brought up, the last time. As I recall, I can’t hold up your every expectation. One moment to another I am restless. Seems making love forever can often risk your heart. And I cannot remember when I was this messed up. In service of another I am beautiful. ba-ba-da-ba-ba ba-da-da-ba

Dog 02:55
So come on lets chase those memories away and drink the night into oblivion. I’ve been watching you and memorised every last line of your profile. Every shade of your complexion, every tone of your skin. And I am not surprised to find you in his eyes. Hanging on every word dropped from his mouth. Cos lately I’ve been watching you. I’ve been waiting for you to take me home. So tell me all of your deepest dark secrets Lying in your arms inseparable.

Lemur 03:11
What’s this? Don’t bother listing your dependancies. We already know that you’ve got them. You’ve photographed the bottom glass and it tastes like fear. You’re afraid of what might be. You know from the get go it’s over it’s already fallen apart. Identify what’s yours and what’s mine, the rest will be our secret. I won’t apologize for what is right I’m just letting go of what might’ve been. You know from the get go it’s over it’s already fallen apart. You know from get go it’s over it’s already meant from the start and you know from get go it’s already fallen apart. You know in time as much would’ve happened to us, our feelings blow out like a lamp light.

Zebra 02:08
Caught forever on paper torn tethered, time sends its regards from pictures that never saw the light of day. Just tucked in a box and hoarded away so that eyes could never gaze upon faces of old. Memories that I had longed to hold. So hold me now, that I am not strong enough to hold myself. I am old enough now to know better than to bare my cross alone.
14.
I’m so sorry for the things I’ve done And what I did to you is up there number 1. So sweaty of palm and tongue tied tight, We’ll sit here and talk late into the night. Yesteryear still rings my ear. Like buttons and pins this mess we’re in dissolves in time. I know that this time is quite different from when we first met The years haven’t been kind worn down by regret So take hope theres still enough of what made this young man left All that once was is not quite gone yet. Cause we are old friends you and I, many a time sat silent at my side. And if this is to be our last goodbye I’ll take with me a part of you that never dies. Yesteryear still rings my ear. Like buttons and pins this mess we’re in dissolves in time. I know that this time is quite different from when we first met The years haven’t been kind worn down by regret So take hope theres still enough of what made this young man left All that once was is not quite gone yet.

I’m so sorry I’m not down tonight But all my friends have lost their minds And whats more… …I’m not happy here anymore. We should’ve stayed at home tonight. All the bright lights and company are not what I need. Its just the same as it was before. Same faces there to hit the floor. My legs have carried me far. There’s still strength enough for one more. So lets carry on And dance to all the same songs. Like back when we were young And nights like this would fade to one. So lets get out of here. We’ve done all we can. This place is not dead. So when will this night end? We’ll do it all again, Next Friday night. This Picture-postcard modernity.
