Tessellate Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bite chunks out of me
You're a shark and I'm swimming
My heart still thumps as I bleed
And all your friends come sniffing
[Chorus]
Triangles are my favourite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love, it's very late
'Til morning comes
Let's tessellate
[Break]
Go alone, my flower
And keep my whole lovely you
Wild green stones, alone, my lover
And keep us on my heart
[Verse 2]
Three guns and one goes off
One's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning
They'll nosh you up, yes, they'll nosh the love away
But it's fair to say, you will still haunt me
[Chorus]
Triangles are my favourite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love, it's very late
'Til morning comes
Let's tessellate
Something Good Lyrics
[Chorus]
Something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now
[Bridge]
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport
[Chorus]
But something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now
[Verse 1]
Forty-eight thousand seats
Bleats and roars for my memories of you
Now that I'm fully clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view
[Bridge]
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport
[Verse 2]
Forty-eight thousand seats
Bleats and roars for my memories of you
Now that I am clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view
[Chorus]
But something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now
Dissolve Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now dissolve me
Two tabs on your tongue
A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep
Sleep now, my only one
Broken sweethearts, ah
Who sleep apart
Both still pine for the other's side spine
Spoon as sleep starts
[Pre-Chorus]
And pulse to pulse
Now, shush
[Chorus]
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes
To calm me down
[Verse 2]
I am see-through
Soap sliver, you're so thin
As I begin rubbing lathers out
Your state worsens on my skin
And gold
Fatless finger to lip
One-two, three-four, hush
[Pre-Chorus]
And pulse to pulse
Now, shush
[Chorus]
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes
To calm me down
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes
I'm tired now
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north sea
Matilda Lyrics
[Intro]
This is from
This is from
This is from Matilda
[Verse 1]
Just like Johnny Flynn said
"The breath I've taken and the one I must" to go on
Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss
My defeat sleeps top-to-toe with her success
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, this is from
This is from
This is from Matilda
[Chorus]
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
[Verse 2]
Just like Johnny Flynn said
"The breath I've taken and the one I must" to go on
Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss
My defeat sleeps top-to-toe with her success
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, this is from
This is from
This is from Matilda
[Chorus]
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
[Bridge]
Elle a besoin de toi
Cela vient de Matilda
[Chorus]
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
And she needs you
This is from Matilda
And she needs you (This is from Matilda)
This is from Matilda
[Outro]
This is from Matilda
This is from Matilda

Ms Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We can't lose touch but we can let go
Blue and white gun made from Lego
All the vowels vow to hold your name
Keep your estate clean of me
I've pillowed you so many times this week
Close eyes, open, close again, forget and fall asleep
[Chorus]
The dark seeks dark
The dark seeks dark
Ooooh, darker
Ooooh, darker
[Post-Chorus]
Ooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
The nights of all my youth pressed into one glass of water
[Verse 2]
Scattered truths, bewildered beast boohoos
We have our weight: ten-thousand ladybirds
All the vowels vow to guard your name
Keep your estate clean, happy
Some things lie too deep for tears to well
Close eyes open, close again, feel as my body spells
[Chorus]
Dark seeks dark
Dark seeks dark
Ooooh, darker
Ooooh, darker
[Post-Chorus]
Ooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
The shadow burns across like embers tide paper
[Outro]
Darker, darker, darker, darker
Darker, darker, darker, darker
Darker, darker, darker, darker
Darker, darker, darker, darker
Fitzpleasure Lyrics
[Intro]
Tralala, Trala–, Tra-a-la, –la
Tralala, Trala–, Tra-a-la, –la
Tralala, Trala–, Tra-a-la, –la
Tralala, Trala–, Tra-a
[Chorus]
In your snatch fits pleasure, broom-shaped pleasure
Deep greedy and googling every corner
La, Trala–, Tra-a-la, –la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
Dead in the middle
Of the C-O-double-M O-N
Little did I know then
That the Mandela Boys soon become Mandela Men
Tall woman
Pull the pylons down
And wrap them around the necks
Of all the feckless men that queue to be the next
[Verse 2]
Steepled fingers
Ring la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-leaders
Queue-queue jumpers
Rock, fist, paper, scissors, la-la-la-la-la-la-lingered fluffers
They choir:
In your hoof lies the heartland
Where we tent for our treasure, pleasure, leisure
Les yeux, it's all in your eyes
[Chorus]
In your snatch fits pleasure, a broom-shaped pleasure
Deep greedy and googling every corner
[Outro]
Tralala, Trala–, Tra-a-la, –la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, oh, oh, oh, blinded by the lights
Bloodflood Lyrics
[Intro]
Good morning, flood of blood
Good morning, everyone
[Chorus]
C
O-double
M-O-N
[Verse 1]
A wave, an awesome wave
That rushes skin and widens in flooded veins
Breathe in, exhale
I've poked a nerve; he'll slap me like a whale
[Chorus]
Slaps the C
O-double
M-O-N
[Verse 2]
Tide out, tide in
A flood of blood to the heart and the fear slipstreams
Breathe in, exhale
I've poked a nerve; he'll slap me like a whale
[Chorus]
Slaps the C
(Flood, flood, flood)
(Flood of blood, blood, blood)
(To the heart, heart, heart)
(To the heart, heart, heart, heart)
(Flood, flood, flood)
(Flood of blood, blood, blood)
O-double
(To the heart, heart, heart)
(To the heart)
M-O-N
[Outro]
(C)
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
To the heart, heart, heart
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
To the heart, heart, heart
(O-double)
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
(C)
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
To the heart, heart, heart
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
(O-double)
To the heart, heart, heart
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
Hand‐Made Lyrics
[Chorus]
Your sting red-full-stops my skin
Dotted, scratch, scratch, now I'm bleeding
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings
[Interlude]
"Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin."
[Verse]
There's bears in the wood and they're out to get me
And I'm safe from harm if I stay in this chalet
And hold me tight and I'll sink in
I'm absorbed in your thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't know
You...
But you don't know
You...
[Chorus]
Your sting red-full-stops my skin
Dotted, scratch, scratch, now I'm bleeding
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings
[Outro]
For you...
For you...
