Paroles :

Decided, to sneak off away from your stomach
And try your pulse
They captured
What seemed all unknowing and candid
But they suspected it was false

She's playful, the boring would warn you 'be careful'
Of her brigade
In order
To tame this relentless marauder
And move away from the parade

And she was walking on the tables in the glass house
Endearingly bedraggled in the wind
Subtle in her method of seduction
Twenty little tragedies begin

And she would throw her feather boa in the road
If she thought that it would set the scene
Unfittingly dipped into your companions
Enlightened them to make you seeth

And there's affection to rent
The age of the understatement
Before the attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart

Affection to rent
The age of the understatement
Before this attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart

Oh Oooooooooh

And my fingers scratch at my hair
Before my mind can get too reckless
The idea of seeing you here
Is enough to make the sweat go cold.

• Titre : Standing Next To Me
• Album : The Age Of The Understatement
• Année : 2008

Paroles :

You want to have her
Two years have gone now
But I can't relate to the never ending games that you play
As desire passes through and you're open to the truth
I hope you understand
And your love is standing next to me
Is standing next to me

The one you fell for
But it's seemed you deny
And you laugh at yourself again and again
But as you drink to the thoughts she'll remember you
maybe tomorrow

And your love is standing next to me
Is standing next to me
And your love is standing next to me
Is standing next to me, is standing next to me.
Is standing next to me

You want to have her
Two years have gone now
But I can't relate to the never ending games that you play
As desire passes through, then you're open to the truth
I hope you understand

And your love is standing next to me, is standing next to me
Is standing next to me, is standing next to me.

• Titre : My Mistakes Were Made For You
• Album : The Age Of The Understatement
• Année : 2008

Paroles :

About as subtle as an earthquake, I know,
My mistakes were made for you.
And in the back room of the bad dream, she came,
And whisked me away, enthused.

And it's solid as a rock rolling down a hill,
The fact is that it probably will hit something,
On the hazardous terrain.

And we're just following the flock,
Round and in between
Before we smash to smithereens
Like they were, and we scrambled from the grain
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth,
She couldn't help, but spit them out
Innocence and arrogance entwined,
In the filthiest of minds.

She was bitten on her birthday,
And now a face in the crowd, she's not.
And I suspected now forever the shape
She came to escape, is forgot.

And it's a lot to ask her not to sting.
And give her less than everything;
Around your crooked conscious she will wind.

Cuz we're just following the flock,
Round and in between,
Before we smash into smithereens
Like they were, and we scrambled from the blame.
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth,
She couldn't help but spit them out;
Around your crooked conscious she will wind.

And it's a lot to ask her not to sting,
And give her less than everything
Innocence and arrogance entwined.

• Titre : Meeting Place
• Album : The Age Of The Understatement
• Année : 2008

Paroles :

The colder the night gets
The further she strays
And he doesn't like it
Being this way
And she tried so hard to steer away from
The meeting place,
But her heart had led her there

She clings to his consciousness
Wherever he lays
He struggles to sleep at night
And during the day
He's worried she's waiting in his dreams
To drag him back to the meeting place
His love had left him there

Where her voice still echoes,
"I'm sorry I met you darling,
I'm sorry I met you"
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words,
"I'm sorry I met you darling,
I'm sorry I left you"

For weeks they had strolled around
Playing the fools
They knew the time would come
And time would be cruel
Because it is cruel to everyone
He's crying out from the meeting place
He's stranded himself there
