the words

tape noise

listen, it's in the details

this is the new thing

falling out or falling in
i'm not really ready but i'm jumping in
and the way ahead is very long
and the night is dark and your will is strong
which are worse - the punches or the lies
or the years together now denied?
"and every prediction is coming true
and every prediction points to you"

i can feel the bones beneath my skin
every one is digging in
don't desert me once again
where are you my only friend?
"and every prediction is coming true
and every prediction points to you"

the sun sets on the age of the instrumentalist

"sound machinery de-skills and de-physicalises music, allowing thinking and hearing precedence over gymnastics. practising is no longer necessary." (attributed to kraftwerk, paraphrased by kodwo eshun)

requited love

do you still the scars on my face? do they bother you at all?
do you still hear the tantrums in my voice? will you reach down when i fall?
do you still see the wrinkles on my heart? do they bother you at all?
do you still recognise the selfishness in me? will you reach down when i fall?

'cause when you look at me
and see what's really there
when you look at me
and place yourself there
your love is requited

do you still feel the sweat on my back? does it bother you at all?
do you still feel my wanderlust? will you reach down when i fall?

blending the edges

see the tree growing on top of the dusty hill
drive around here for hours it's all the same
pray all you like for rain but your missing the point
if the roots are deep enough the sheep will sit in the shade

i'll never do it again
i promise i'll never do it again

gloria - the life's already there

listening in for static

i've never been hardcore, i've never been true to my roots
i've never been hardcore, i've never been true to my roots
so look into the future, baby and listen to the future, baby
look into the future, baby and listen to the future, baby

we float around these days and never really enter in
we twist the meanings of useless words that would otherwise mean nothing
so look into the future, baby and listen to the future, baby
look into the future, baby and listen to the future, baby

i've never been hardcore, i've never been true to my roots
i've bastardised every piece of music i've heard
and just strung together every little shard of culture
don't break my fall
i always wanted to know that feeling
don't break my fall
i always wanted to know that feeling

the rest of the lyrics are yours and cell's.

i have perfect faith that whatever you decide to put up will be excellent for the website. (it's just the timeframe that worries me :) ) i think it would be fine to post it up in a formative state and then let it grow and develop over time. i don't think it needs to be worked out and complete to start - give it scope to continually evolve, even after the album and everything is finished. i still think you should not worry about having to fit any of the existing content into the new site - if there's things you would like to include, that's fine, but don't worry about making it fit if it doesn't naturally - we've got plenty of places to put traditional content.
