Singer 03:30

You taste like chlorine, a mermaid kiss There's so many things that remind me of this The wake up call, the bed on fire The past an adolescent pyre She is distraction and desire This girl is to fall in love with The rose to pluck, the hand to hold The feeling you can be more bold If you're searching for a heart of gold This girl is to fall in love with You taste like chlorine, a mermaid kiss There's so many things that remind me of this The singer in the corner, the broken record player The four poster, the Underwood, the Universal Prayer All these things remind me of you The lunch box note, the music plan, the cat and Elvis solar jam The plectrum heart, the metronome, the flatback stars, the garden dome All these things remind me of you D90s' bass is like my heart The place where all the stories start And if the day should fall apart This girl is to fall in love with Running slow through bedsheet fields Your soul about to be revealed And with one kiss your fate is sealed This girl is to fall in love with You taste like chlorine, a mermaid kiss There's so many things that remind me of this The singer in the corner, the broken record player The four poster, the Underwood, the Universal Prayer All these things remind me of you Miranda, Morris and The Stones, the frogs that come from broken homes The Jareth portrait on the fridge, the pilgrimage to Number 6 All these things remind me of you Primrose in her unformed glory Russell's bright conservatory Every message, every story Reminds me of you All these things remind me of you All these things remind me of you The singer in the corner, the broken record player The four poster, the Underwood, the universal prayer All these things remind me of you The lunch box note, the music plan, the cat and Elvis solar jam The plectrum heart, the metronome, the flatback stars, the garden dome All these things remind me of you

Running Out Of Time 04:00
lyrics

Every night I dream of you Now the dream is coming true You have come to run me through Ever so slowly Every morning is the same I am oh so glad you came But you're speeding like a train Are you tomorrow? I try to cheat you but you're far too clever I'm temporary you're forever This chase will never ever end You're the keeper of my nightmares and dreams And of all the things that I've done and seen Some are blurred and some are clean Hold me close as I try to cheat you but you're far too clever I'm temporary you're forever This chase will never ever end Every moment that I spend with her You come and take away what we have shared There are times when I am unaware How beautiful these moments are You keep them safe when they are far away I try to cheat you but you're far too clever I'm temporary you're forever This chase will never ever end I try to cheat you but you're far too clever I'm temporary you're forever This chase will never ever end Everything that I held true It was yours it wasn't mine You are running out on me I am running out of time

Return Of The Chameleon Kid 04:12
lyrics

Tom, you've been gone so long I was sure we'd done something wrong Tom, have you heard the news? Even spacemen get the blues A perfect mix of duds and attitude If we're alike it's only in that I'm invented too I'll be waiting, my heart on my sleeve Coz I'm the Heathen who still believes I'm in awe of everything you did Could this be the return of the Chameleon Kid? Tom, send a message please We're all plastic, can't you see You might just be one of the boys But I still hear you through this noise And if this train of thought is leaving now I'm going to make sure that i'm a passenger somehow I'll be waiting, my heart on my sleeve Coz I'm the Heathen who still believes I'm in awe of everything you did Could this be the return of the Chameleon? Here I stand Imaginary Starman Through the ever soul-sucking wheel He's a Thin White daydream made real He's a healer, they say he's a dealer He's a Dog with a head full of fog Enigmatic stranger, master re-arranger Angel man with more than a hint of danger He's a Bitch, he's a sign, he's a mirror, he's divine He's real then he's hinted, he's silver-screen printed One foot in the future and one foot in the Id I'll be waiting, my heart on my sleeve Coz I'm the Heathen who still believes I'm in awe of everything you did Could this be the return of the Chameleon? I'll be waiting, my heart on my sleeve Coz I'm the Heathen who still believes I'm in awe of everything you did Could this be the return of the Chameleon? I'll be waiting, my heart on my sleeve Coz I'm the Heathen who still believes I'm in awe of everything you did Could this be the return of the Chameleon Kid? I'll be waiting, my heart on my sleeve Coz I'm the Heathen who still believes I'm in awe of everything you did Could this be the return of the Chameleon Kid?

Temperature 03:50
lyrics

19 creeping degrees The summer is just out of reach Keep me warm, keep me from the storm Rising possibilities The murmer, the vibration, the message down the wire The strange anticipation that gently catches fire Temperature, the fall and rise Temperature, when I look in your eyes I see There's nothing else that's burning me 21, here comes the sun I know you can take the heat Melting in each other's arms This burning desire's not discreet The murmer, the vibration, the message down the wire The keen spark of frustration that sets this room on fire Temperature, the fall and rise Temperature, when I look in your eyes I see There's nothing else that's burning me like Temperature, to catch a flame Temperature, I know you feel the same Coz we ignite each other constantly 32, is this heat too much for you? It took no time to realise The sun is in your eyes Temperature, the fall and rise Temperature, when I look in your eyes I see There's nothing else can get to me like Temperature, the fall and rise Temperature, when I look in your eyes I see You have left your mark on me Temperature, the fall and rise Temperature, when I look in your eyes I see There's nothing else can get to me like Temperature, the fall and rise Temperature, when I look in your eyes I see There's nothing else can get to me like Temperature, the fall and rise Temperature, when I look in your eyes I see There's nothing else can get to me like Temperature

You Are The Sea 04:42
lyrics

You are the sea, you explode like the waves You are a typeface that appears through all my days You are the clouds, you are dreamy and soft You are a bomb that might just go off You are the breeze in the shimmering heat You are the melody over the beat You are the sun in a strawberry haze You are the vision of glory days You are the fall that wraps around me One day soon we will all be free You are the storm about to break You are the kiss that keeps me awake You are my favourite track from 'Dare!' The future that the past reveals is everywhere It's everywhere It's everywhere Between the guilt and the fun Between the many and the one Between the bike sheds with a kiss Between the hit and the miss Between the joke and the jibe Between vibration and vibe Between the angle and the poise Between the silence and the noise Between the sheets and the skin Between the sinner and the sin Beyond the clouds of reasonable doubt Between the mother and the clout Between the ringtone and the call Between the rise and the fall Between the armour and the chink Between the angel and the blink Between the sky and me You are the sea You are the sea You are the sun You are the clouds You are the one You are the sky You are the fall You are everything You are all You are the sea You are the sun You are the clouds You are the one You are the sun You are the one The one for me You are the sea

Butterfly 03:50
lyrics

Wear it well, tie the knot Time will tell, role or garrotte One day I'll be a butterfly One day I'll be a butterfly Lie to your manager Stationery kleptomania Days you try but just get by Are hard for you to justify One day I'll be a butterfly One day I'll be a butterfly One day I'll be something to see One day I'll be high in the sky So you take one down and you wrap it around It chokes like a leash but you don't make a sound You just fall into line and you shuffle your feet Silently marching as you disrupt the beat The clouds and the butterflies tempt you with freedom You look for the logic but you can't find a reason So you bust this jail every night Like a prize-winning pugilist who's late for a fight Like a birdman preparing for his first flight Like a left-handed man making everything right One day I'll be a butterfly One day I'll be a butterfly One day I'll be so high above the ground One day I'll never come down One day I'll be One day I'll be One day I'll be so high above the ground One day I'll be a butterfly

Catch A Flame 05:03
lyrics

I can't give you answers, I won't say your prayers All that I can tell you is I've been there Some crumple like paper, some conceal the tear All that I can tell you is I've been there What made you think that the sun would be on your side What made you think that you'd always enjoy the ride It's not just you, I've been there too I can't cure this illness, I can't hide the stains All that I can show you is the pain I can't change the weather, I can't make you king All that I know is that I know nothing What made you think that the sun would be on your side What made you think that you'd always enjoy the ride It's not just you, I've been there too They tried to burn you but you've been burning forever You can go it alone but it's better together You say you don't smoke but you still play with matches You got no itch but I can see the scratches Catch a flame for those who have been hurting But don't know how to put it into words Catch a flame for those who want to escape Fly as high and free as the birds Catch a flame for those who cannot be here Paint the sky in colours that make you high Light the night with memories and endearments So they will see you when they're passing by So they will see you when they're passing by So they will see you when they're passing by Catch a flame

about

The second in a trilogy of Imaginary Song albums, this one unleashes the electric guitars but still finds itself in very melodic, catchy form, with songs about celebrating life and creativity, the constraints we struggle with and a love song to David Bowie. Enjoy!
