Stumbling 03:56
If we don't make such promises We won't need these lies Wanna get my head clear Like the automn skies Stumblin' towards the heart Stumblin' Gotta feel my way around It's humblin' I came up by natures grace On the far south coast Walkin' in the dreamtime With the holy Ghost Stumblin' towards the heart Stumblin' All thinks come to pass And leave us wonderin' Stumblin' towards the heart Stumblin' Gotta turn your love around Someday son Universal kind I've nothin' to defend Bring me home again I just wanna find Bit o that piece of mind So there i go, no more trouble Universal kind Is wanting to decend Bring us home again I aint got no time for That fabled myth of men.

No measure of health, No measure of wealth Outside of what you feel Guru's of taste, fall by the wayside Nobody steers the wheel It's quite alright To drop these questions The world only wants you To want what they want you to want Hawkin' your fear, no buyers round here Minister on your bike Pimpin your cure, I'll take it pure Doctors can take a hike It's quite alright these are'nt my questions The world only wants you, to want what the want you to want Delusion will feed you as long as you're hungry for more The greedy will lead you, long as you're waitin' your turn Usual procedure, guess we'll just keep holdin' on? It's quite alright, not my questions anymore Happy never knowin', exactly what's in store If there ever was a time of life, to overcome this ordinary strife Bout now would be just fine, let your soul shine like a child the world only want's you to want what they want you to want Delusion will feed you as long as you're hungry for more Usual procedure, just sit and watch London burn Hope aint your friend, he'll steal you away in the end It's quite alright I've got nought to report Not much to mention.

Just a smile 04:05
It's just a smile I'm wearin' It's just a smile I'm wearin' because this world is cryin' Cause we're tryin' to figure us out Because the saint's were high We've got nature all pimped out I don't need no minder, or any go betweens I left them back where I left my jeans It's just a smile I'm wearin' Don't need my clothes, I'm tired of those It's just a smile I'm wearin' Because the world's still asking Cause we don't know which way's up And we're multi-tasking But it's one big coverup I don't need no armour, or any steel toed boots I'm a warrior in my birthday suit I don't need no order, I don't crave no thread In the mornin' light I'm clothed and fed It's just a smile I'm wearin'

Where do we go from here? A stones throw or light years? Around the bend or the photon sphere? Does it explode or disappear? Maybe it's all in our head Hue's of blue, splashes of red Those hungry ghosts are never fed Better leave the questioner for dead Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Must've been good, or I'd know The well to do are gettin' fat There's nothin new about that Fire on the mountain and flood on the flat But Papa's got a bran new habitat From point a to b measurment's arbitrary For us and them, for you and me It's coming undone for all to see. Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Must've been good, or I'd know

Rattle on 04:48
My hat blew off, back down the road Old Darwins theory, moving the pace of a toad Had to go it alone Spiralling back into origins own. Peace aint under lock and key Grant your spirit amnesty N'get a rattle on Everybodies Job, so get a rattle on Awella hell I'm in over my head In my element Elected my heart my soul government Gonna hold this note and carry this tune All my dreams fit in my shoe Just like drops of precious rain Every detail is gonna fall into place Always on time, never on cue. Peace aint under lock and key Grant your spirit amnesty N'get a rattle on Everybodies Job, so get a rattle on On my way back to Eden, Im up before dawn Hitting the highway, and beating the storm, forgetting all I've been told Spiralling up on the wings of a song. Just like drops of precious rain Every detail is gonna fall into place Always on time, never on cue.

Invocation 06:54
Looming invitation, Ceaseless investigation Lead me, into sweet temptation Relieve me of my expectation Exhausting all fuel in her path Every molecule No one counting in the aftermath Enter the destroyer May no one escape the wrath She's gonna clear a bran new path As the needy lead the blind Towards the alter of the mind The agent of the heart Is gonna tear the seams apart Enter the destroyer May no one escape the wrath She's gonna clear a bran new path

Born to the mis education, On this planet of fight or flight, I don't suppose we'll change things overnight, As long as we treat one and other, Like we're born of another mother, We'll find the occasion to cry, Contract breached, we tried the reach the bough that bore the ripeness But there's no lifeguard on duty I'm drowning in a rare brand of beautiful No one to rescue me Born of imagination Believing the dreams we had Wake from our own creation and be glad We can't stop what never began Don't suppose we'll save this mortal skin Gonna wake up tomorrow unbound. There is no lifeguard on duty I'm drowning in a rare bran of beautiful No one to rescue me Would'nt want there to be This is where knowledge fails us This is where language falls apart Here is where we find humility Here's where we don't beg for favours Here's where we share in a brothers labour Here's where we tear up the guarentee There is no lifeguard on duty I'm drowning in a rare bran of beautiful No one to rescue me Would'nt want there to be

Chaos 04:07
Joy at last Laughter pours from heavens throat Chaos rains down Something beautiful grows Un obscured Here we stand In the midst Of crucial strenghth Chaos rains down Something beautiful grows No problem No solution No evolution Miraculous Tumble back forget your mind Oil and water won't combine Chaos rains down Something beautiful grows Love is deep, love is pure Take the venom for the cure Chaos rains down something beautiful grows No problem No solution No evolution Miraculous credits released 18 February 2015 Jay Atwill-Vocals, acoustic guitar, bass, organ.
