WITH TROUSERS ON (Music by Leah Hinton, Nick Baldwin and Jordan Tredray, lyrics by Leah Hinton © 2010) The sun will not show us its face Although its light creeps to the sky its warmth wont reach its smile's teeth And its absence will darken what its light is trying to reach I know in my bones tomorrow is come That it will crawl over today, though we're keeping it at bay It lurks behind a blink, a laugh, a gap, a wrong word or remark T'will be here soon, we cannot last But hold it off for another slice, another taste, another bite Say it's ok and stay a while, a little longer to bide the time Cos left alone unease awaits It's licked its lips, will have a taste of me The sneaky dawn has caught me with trousers on Still sleeping in last night's skin Can't end if it never begins The sneaky dawn has caught me with trousers on Close your eyes and rest your head Know that you have been tricked again Oh please close down now mind of mine I don't want to be left here all alone Still sleeping in last night's skin Can't end if it never begins The sneaky dawn has caught me with trousers on

THE ALCHEMIST (Music by Leah Hinton, Nick Baldwin and Jordan Tredray, lyrics by Leah Hinton © 2009) Wisdom, purity, I search for thee Chaos begone, guide me to the stone Transform, evolve, enlighten my soul Matter lies before the eyes of all Has as many names as there are things in the world And always changes You cannot harm me, transformation will release me Matter lies before the eyes of all Has as many names as there are things in this world And I will change

Clocks 06:39
CLOCKS (Music by Leah Hinton and Nick Baldwin, lyrics by Leah Hinton 2009) The cycles circle on Consume, digest, excrete, rest And the clocks, they go ticking on But it's not enough, not meaning enough And the clocks, they go ticking on What can we do now that procreation isn't needed? Survival is now about not breeding Who will I live for, what will I be? When the music's over what is the meaning for me? Where are you going, what will you be? Maybe you could be the answer, the reason, the meaning of this thing for me
4.
THE PERSISTENCE OF TIME (Music by Leah Hinton and Jordan Tredray, lyrics by Leah Hinton©2009) This new day cannot deflect The blunt object that beats at my chest This new day will not concede a move But time heals all wounds Though it moves so slow When you’re standing so still This new day will not elude This dark and poisonous mood Mighty hands they hold me down I know them, they’re my own But maybe tomorrow They will let me alone The direction is down Heavy the head Clothes of duress The night’s shiny best We’ll parade until dawn And when darkness has gone Hope time will have seized These misgivings away This new day will not reveal The gleam of hope I know I should feel This present it stretches out Curves around, no end in sight But maybe tomorrow will deliver me Hopeful and new Just hang in there Wait it out Just hang in there Sit it out Remember Dali Time persists And will move Eventually Just wait it out The persistence of time

2½ Dalis 04:21
2½ DALIS (Music and lyrics by Leah Hinton © 2002) Dali dripping over my skin That world melted the world again We're alive And somebody's hung out the night sky Oh! Pressure building, buildings bubbling Stars are waving, wave is coming now I'm a computer A lonely commuter Caught flailing my limbs As the structuring dims Turn off your brain now That shit is not paid for I'm tangenting off again Don't stop Don't look down We've risen up off the ground Ah! Pressure building, buildings bubbling Stars are waving, wave is coming now Blend madness and matter And soak in the batter Revel in this fusion Of light and confusion A peripheral glimpse Of the meaning of it And I'm tangenting off again Don't stop Revelation overload Experiencing meltdown
6.
Number 42 04:22
NUMBER 42 (Music by Leah Hinton, Nick Baldwin and Jordan Tredray, lyrics by Leah Hinton © 2010) This letter is to inform you that I'm not happy with the noise levels eminating from your premises. Shut up The incessant thumping A madman's timepiece Erratically counting these nightly encounters Shut up Alone in a room with a diseased heartbeat My home is a place that vibrates violence
7.
Moving On 07:33
MOVING ON (Music by Leah Hinton, Nick Baldwin and Jordan Tredray, lyrics by Leah Hinton © 2010) If I thought that prayers went anywhere other than the insides of my head I would pray that I will see you all again, That memory will not leave you nameless That the end of this island will not be the end of your faces And I pray that I will see you all again Cos I'm moving on Migrants in time and space, we drift between start and end place You are all such delicately temporal things And I'm moving on
