Henrietta's Melancholy
04:39

When I got back home it had already hit 2:30 in the morning
I opened up my door to see the silhouettic people call to me
What's there to doubt
An empty house
What's there to doubt
There's nothing to think about
When I got back home
The want of something to do had just driven me to walk around in circles
"I went out to a dance tonight. I put on my best hat and shoes, and I hoped it would be a night of joy and abandon.
I'm having fun, but I just can't seem to quite... lose myself. There's always something at the back of my mind that makes me feel......
Sometimes, I look at the crowd, and I see echoes of people I used to know... loves that could have been... y'know?"

And every time
You try to take me over
I always firmly hold my line
What have I been doing my whole life
If not tryin to get lost in the reverie
Or was I just waiting
Waiting for you
Baby I’m right here where you left me
If your head wasn’t screwed on, you’d have lost it
Baby now can’t you see
You’re here in my fantasy
And I ain’t takin no negotiations
And baby my heart is a destroyer
And babe it still bubbles over for you
Baby now can’t you see
You’re here in my fantasy
And I ain’t takin no negotiations
And when I cry
I’m never crying for you
Just for passing of the clock
Why did I decide not to love you?
Why did I lose my enemy?
My heart is my weapon
And I cut real deep
Baby I’m right here where you left me
If your head wasn’t screwed on you’d have lost it
Baby now can’t you see
You’re here in my fantasy
And I ain’t takin no negotiations
And baby my heart is a destroyer
And babe it still bubbles over for you
Baby now can’t you see
You’re here in my fantasy
And I ain’t takin no negotiations

We stayed up through the night
Staring at the ceiling
Twiddling knobs on the radio
Always eluded by contact
From some lonely wanderer outside
But it’s alright
If we’re the only people between heaven and hell and sea and sky
Every time I do something right
Right by you
The earth stops spinning and then
I fly off once more
But not before
I take the moment in
A place between skull and chin
To await rumination
I’d like to fantasize
That given the budget
You and me could build a big house near a city
And make music
Reality disappoints
But I keep hope
That somewhere on the planet
There’s some place you and I can live our lives
Every time
I start thinking like
“It’s all real
And right now is the right time”
Clocks tick at half speed
And at their lead
I suffer from the divide
Between what I feel and real life
But waiting here’s just fine

Happily ever after in my room
Happily ever after in my bed
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh
Home ruler, PJ princess
I wait through the day to night
Through my many quiet hours
Space for me to breathe
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh
Home ruler, PJ princess
Home ruler, PJ princess
Happily ever after in my room
Happily ever after in my bed

We are going on a journey
On a marvellous adventure
See the people working
On all their different ventures
Mmm.....
[This is the robot house
This is the robot house
In this house we bleep
In this house we bloop
In this house we make machines
We're a robot group]

We were young, like the future
We were young, and always wrong
We were young, like our country
Learning old ways to be young
Random driving around with you
In my dilapidated car
Like Isadora Duncan II
In impossibly long white scarves
Autumn leaves, diaries
Tennessee and Jeremy
Suddenly, willow trees
Memories of Jeremy
Like a Galapagos turtle
We grow old and stay that way
Build a nest in the sand dunes
Lay our eggs and walk away
I was writing our dreams down
Making maps of an unseen plane
And I noticed anomalies
That you'd rather not see explained
Autumn leaves, diaries
Tennessee and Jeremy
Suddenly, willow trees
Memories of Jeremy
We drove, canopy down
In the scalding rain
On the one day we were young
The house we bought was really a lake
Otters scampered down the halls
There were whirlpools in the floor
And sails
You're alone, and it's over
You're alone, with your gun
You're alone, from now on
You're all alone, and you're not young

Then I went walking and I saw long queues but little food
Then I got talking but the soldiers would not let me stay
Then I got reading and I learned PROSPERITY had come and this was EDEN
Worms appeared and TRUTH brushed them away

We Lived Alone
01:08

We lived alone, my house and I
We had the earth, we had the sky
I had a lamp against the dark
And I was happy as a lark
We lived alone, my house and I
We had the earth, we had the sky
I had a lamp against the dark
And I was happy as a lark
I had a stove and a window screen
I had a table painted green
Sat on a chair with a broken back
Wearing a pretty potato sack
I had a rug upon the floor
And roses grew around my door
I had a job, my wants were few
They were until I wanted you
And when I set my eyes on you
Nothing else would do
Nothing else would do
