1.	Year in Amber (ft. Blossom Caldarone) 04:45	lyrics	buy track
This dream you're in is one you won't soon forget When you awake It's gonna occupy a place in your head Like ugly words immortalised in cement You're thinking all the time about absent friends I'm just the same We'll get together some unimagined day Til then we're trapped in amber but that's okay Year in amber Temporally frozen like a mosquito Sometimes I feel so certain it's not a dream That this is real Whose mind could think of anything so unkind That mind would have to be an unhappy mind Can't wait to see the weather when we wake up Come rain or shine The atmosphere has been regenerating We'll find that sluggishly the dream is fading Year in amber Temporally frozen like a mosquito
2.	Jane's Train Driver Husband 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Jane's train driver husband, she doesn't fully trust He lets her use his discount but she'd rather take the bus She wakes up and resents the fact he won her with his looks She carries herself like somebody who hates their own guts Another hasty message lets her know he's stuck in snow She doesn't hesitate before she packs her bags to go She steps onto the street that heavy weather doesn't slow And onto the first bus with a destination she doesn't know She knows her obsolescence is a virtue for tonight The lightly frozen countryside won't paralyse her flight Her bus attempts a corner but the corner is too tight It skates into a hedgerow, knocking someone off their bike The taxi rank is empty but persistently waits Jane A girl holding a sleeping bag asks her for some spare change Does anything mean anything, especially her pain? She gives the girl her taxi fare and bolts into the rain She happens by a substation, wires stretching everywhere Imagining if she could only plug herself in there Perhaps she'd zap herself to London and have an affair Or ride the current endlessly and live without a care She finds the perfect entrance where the metal bars are bent You'd think they'd have precautions other than a feeble fence As she climbs up the pylon she is feeling slightly tense It sounds so suicidal but she knows it makes sense And sure enough she grabbed the wire and found herself in space She did not die but shot into the wires at lightning pace No more was she a victim of a life she was to waste She's everywhere and nowhere now, and she powers the trains

about

The pineapple, disrobed, began to feel woozy. The stairs had told the truth.

There's anti-climb paint on the fence of forever.
