Belle Vue (free) 05:21
This is so sudden How you've addressed me and then undressed me Without even knowing me You know that I'd be laughin' like a has been. Swing, come on lemme see you swing, lemme see you swing. Swing, come on lemme see you swing, lemme see you swing. This is so sudden How you've addressed me and then undressed me Without even knowing me You know that I'd be laughin' like a has been. New is new is on you it's not here not soon what's new is new is you, you. Not that you knew the same old beautiful view What's new is new is new is, what's new is new is you. This time next year, we're going to make it This time next year, will be our year.

Firefighter (free) 04:20
Driving to country home at the end of the hour Stuck back in time on the edge of a clock tower Giving the roadkill names Hoping the sun falls And you held me like your house burnt down And I was a firefighter End your pointless need for the daily mail All you need to know is I am here Trying to soak up some earth Worth more than going the distance Back and forth and back The day's gone who's left to talk to you now And I held you like my house burnt down And you were a firefighter I can see the blue blood on your hands On your hands The undertow will be the easy It's wonderful that I can get me here Underwater the shades of grey swim from ear to ear Sunk to the botton playing business with the bottom of your soon fear Remembrance is meant to drown, hope that I dry off. Not that I want strength to hold me here Not after this at least

Common Language (free) 04:42
Wear my clothes I promise I won't tell anybody If you get past the gate Tell me what it's like on the other side If this place collapses make sure to breathe Come back here I want to compliment you on your style Your boundless beauty, your rusty city Help me understand your common language Your upper class leanings, your lower class means What ever that means Come back here I want to compliment you on your style Your boundless beauty, your rusty city Help me understand your common language Your upper class leanings, your lower class means What ever that means I can't keep this a secret anymore You know we're confined but they listen through a secret door Erase these thoughts with your hands Take my heart and dig it deep into the sand Come back here I want to compliment you on your style Your boundless beauty, your rusty city Help me understand your common language Your upper class leanings, your lower class means What ever that means

Grace On Me (free) 04:58
Grace on me, better tuck it in now boy Save the gods from stones They owe us all the bones To walk the world undraw your folded arms And tuck that in your pocket boy Grace on me, sail into the ocean's green Wish off all your clothes, expect the great compose To feel nothing, unfold your dreary arms And tuck me in your pocket boy You take the words from my lips and you You make a song but you sing it wrong I'll build a barrier build a barrier of blood and bone And I'll call it home.

Arpies (free) 03:12
Cuddle down Singing to a man we know Be his blessing Watch his children fall asleep again Treat yourself to a nightly drama Analyze where the cast has gone Blank canvas paper on a lily white Face of dark Come home to say nothing but a little goodmorning Whose house is this? I've earned this stay. What are we going to do when the town's gone When a goddamn wave knocks your kids our of public school Your sleep is over What would you think if I woke you up Was unsympathetic? Said your goals were synthetic, Media-made and pathetic? I think that you'd think you were right I was wrong Pessimist all along With a jaw not as strong This will be your only job. Your only friends and only kids you'll ever know Until you fall asleep

Your Tiny Feet (free) 05:24
The space from here to you can't move around I can get you to heaven and maybe elsewhere Somewhere quick and not to far You broke all your windows you know where the wind goes How's that sound? But it's better to stay here, you got a home here And money's easy. I never thought I'd see the day where you'd kneel to pray But if you do, you should call me But if you do, you should call me call me But if you do, you should call me But if you do, you should call me call me The gold is under your feet Grime on spark plug hearts and copper wire arteries Stolen from foxholes in underdeveloped suburban streets A fox bites a man The sun he won't forget I could write words, I'd rather read blueprints of the room that I pace in I'll strip the walls There's gotta be something underneath, There's gotta be something underneath. Your tiny feet freeze imprints into my brain Phrases repeat, I don't know how to explain You overcome me you take all my words Blue eyes control me love me till it hurts Phrases repeat, love me until it hurts Love me until it hurts. Brightest you, violet on a sickest Monday And I have to wait for another day to play the role of a man who needs this The space from here to you can't move around

My Bones (free) 04:20
Flash me a crooked smile for the sake of imperfection Take my bones as your own Do with them what you will Barely a sign of weakness Quitting in a week or less A freer spirit you are not Taking pot shots at the sidewalk Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Ever feel yourself this strong You knock yourself away now what is wrong Like you're saying like you're saying It tastes like words are killing each other in the loudest ways Wish you'd just give up on me Sounds like you've got plans for me It sounds like you've got plans for me Wish you'd just give up on me Sounds like you've got plans for me It sounds like you've got plans for me Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Ever feel yourself this strong You knock yourself away now what is wrong Like you're saying like you're saying It tastes like words are killing each other in the loudest ways Wish you'd just give up on me Sounds like you've got plans for me It sounds like you've got plans for me Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is Like you want to know what love is

You Matador (free) 03:36
I wish you were I wish you weren't scared to say. That a little bit of quick doesn't hurt us anyway. Come come come bring us some some some of your dance moves your dance moves Not a lot of not a lot of form left Not a lot of stuffing in you you you you thief. Come on hun hun you're the one one one I love the maximum in you you you. I am sick sick sick of politics, those dicks And false romancing we're dancing we're dancing. Oh oh oh oh do you really want to know Why I adore you matador, you matador, you. Hard luck red wrist, You can step on me if you need to to do the twist Tease the bull Breathe in breathe in and until you're full. I am sick sick sick of politics, those dicks And false romancing we're dancing we're dancing. Oh oh oh oh do you really want to know Why I adore you matador, you matador, you.

Get that weight off of your back In the bedroom with your clothes in a stack Distill the pain in pools In the bathroom with your yeast and yarn on spools There's your melancholy At the window crying for their mommy All the newspapers say No one's coming home for dinner, not today What have I become? What have I become? What have I become? What have I become? What have I become? What have I become? What have I become? What have I become? I want you I can't have you I tried tried tried I tried tried tried Unseen walls without faces They'll burn burn burn They'll burn burn burn Burning candles, burning race cars They'll always go out They'll always go out Broken mirrors, thousands of faces Look at you.

about

This album was recorded haphazardly in a hot, sweaty, smelly bedroom. All the implications there are to be considered asexual.

Belle Vue is a semi-concept album based on the backdrop of a fictional future for Belle Vue, Manchester. The area, formerly home to a large circus, zoo, and amusement park as well as other attractions, is a shell of its former self, but is rejuvenated and brought into the 21st century. It's a swanky big deal of a place of hedonism and fun times. Dance clubs, breathtakingly electrolytic vistas, and beautiful people dominate the attention of everyone. The songs depict the various activities, emotions, and lives of people spending a Summer in this wonderland.
