Loch Ordie 05:01
LYRICS: Loch Ordie, we are asleep Let’s swim in Loch Ordie Nothing to worry Only our stories Drifting apart Let’s dive in Loch Ordie Mountains rise before me You always knew, you won’t get home Let’s drift in Loch Ordie The mist it surrounds me Gone by the morning With the rising sun Let’s drown in Loch Ordie Stories are below me You always knew, you won’t get home All by yourself Loch Ordie, we are asleep And the sound There’s silence all around

LYRICS: Oh brother of mine Don’t forget where you started The mountain is high But you’ll reach the top still Do you remember Why you started climbing And when you can go No further, oh please Turn around And mother always thought The fog would blog the view Now the clouds have gone And now you can see too But when you can see Where you could go to Will only the top Be in front, will you Turn around Don’t forget to look Behind you and see How far you could have come

Status Quo 07:22
LYRICS: Don’t you love the status quo? It gets you by, it get you old Don’t you love the status quo? We’re standing still till we’re getting cold All alone, all alone All alone, all alone Why do you read the news at all? It’s all the same as it was before Why do you read the news at all? People die when they open the door Open the door, will you open the door Will you open the door? This house could use some laughter don’t you think? Fill up all the bullet holes with flowers and with ink Tare down all the afterthoughts its children are living We need no-one to read the news, just eyes to see what we’re living in What we’re living in There’s a kid playing on the street She trips and falls and starts to bleed There’s a kid playing on the street You tell her off, you tell her to sleep Go to sleep, go to sleep Go to sleep, go to sleep There’s a tree growing down below We try to stop it where it goes There’s a tree growing down below But deep inside we’ve always known It’s gonna grow, it’s gonna grow It’s gonna grow Oh, let it grow This house could use some laughter don’t you think? Fill up all the bullet holes with flowers and with ink Tare down all the afterthoughts its children are living We need no-one to read the news This house could use some laughter don’t you think? Fill up all the bullet holes with flowers and with ink Tare down all the afterthoughts its children are living We need no-one to read the news, just eyes to see what we’re living in What we’re living in It’s easy to love the status quo It’s easy to stay it’s hard to go It’s easy to love the status quo Let us love, let us go Oh, let us go

Waterproof I 03:53
LYRICS: Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof So come the storm So come the storm Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof So lie beside me, and keep me warm So come the light, so come the storm Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof So come the storm So come the storm Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof Our songs are waterproof

LYRICS: You wait By my side As you waved the train away I turned my head in shame The storm hits the shore It leaks through the roof Blows open the door Our songs are waterproof And the wind Plays a tune As it blows the leaves Of our family trees If nothing is right Then nothing is wrong So lie by my side We’ll sleep through the storm Until we reach the end there so nowhere we cannot go But to leave you my friend was the only blind bend in the road It’s taken me down I can’t do this along Yeah it’s taken me down All we need is a home You held up a mirror in front of my eyes And showed me that all of my stories are lies Yet none of them will ever be lonely cries They’ll convince you of mass-desperation Forgive me if all of my answers are slow But I’m still getting used to the wealth of this home And relieved that I’m not facing this storm alone ’cause I’d only dig myself deeper If nothing is right Then nothing is wrong So lie by my side We’ll sleep though the storm Oh we’ll sleep through the storm

LYRICS: Sleep, sleep, sleep, and say the words we don’t speak Sleep, sleep, sleep, and say the words we don’t speak Sleep, sleep, sleep, and say the words we don’t speak Sleep, sleep, sleep, and say the words we don’t speak You’re all that means to me and You’re all that’s left to say Your mind’s as sharp as ever Cuts all my words away You’re all that means to me and You’re all that’s left to say Your mind’s as sharp as ever Cuts all my words away
