"4, 3, 2, 1..."
Fire rises
Higher than gods
Try and fight it
You're getting hot
Locomotion
Do it with me
My magic potion
Has burned near your feet
And I can't stop it, oh no
Flaming Lucy goes
And I can't stop it, oh no
Flaming Lucy's gone
Fire's hotter
Hot as the sun
It's getting hotter
To keep in control
Locomotion
Do it with me
Please be careful
It's got hard to breathe
'Cause Flaming Lucy knows
She's burning everyone...

The Pilot
02:48

|
Vast pastures
Empty like the night
Lonely pilots
Leaving, taking flight
Strangers holding hands...
And I'm no stranger
To seeing distant lands
But I'm a stranger
To being your man
And I long to have you, hold you, kiss you, love you
I love you
My home
Rests heavy in my heart
I hope
Our new life will soon start
Vast pastures
Two lovers standing still
Lips collide
I'm already missing you
And I long to have you, hold you, kiss you, love you
I love you
My home
Rests heavy in my heart
I hope
Our new life will soon start
I want you in my arms...

The Tide
01:54
|
|||
|
When the sunlight
Hits my eyes
You better look for
The tides of time
Because they're creeping
Behind me
Because it's sunny
When the rain falls
On my head
I'm not too greatful
For getting wet
But soon I'll drown in
A big blue sea
Because the tide's here
It's here for me
So help me
Stop it from getting me
Try to control the funk
But it's tripping me out the door
When the wind blows
On my face
You better hope that
The tide's gone away
Because it's deadly
But been blown away
Because it's windy
So help me
Stop it from getting me
Try to control the funk
But it's tripping me out the door
Aw it's tripping me out the door

In Our Minds
02:08
|

|
You say you've got a love for me
It's no wonder we're gonna be
Too good to be in love
You say you hate me then you kiss me
And you always contradict me
We're bad when we're in love
And you drive me crazy
Are you gonna be with me?
Will you be my baby
When maybe we're in love
You're never there to comfort me
Us together's a tragedy
We'll never end in love
You like to read your magazines
But I like the silver screen
Too different for our love
And you drive me crazy
Are you gonna be with me?
Will you be my baby
When maybe we're in love
And I've missed you lately
Could I stand you? Maybe
Are you gonna start seeing me?
Oh is it we're in love?

Blue sky, sunny day
Sitting on the corner, waste away
Take the time, make up your mind,
And then we'll be together
Grey day, big mistake
Leave all your choices a day late
Take the time, make up your mind,
And then we'll be together
'Cause I need you,
And I want you,
Baby, it's true,
I'd love a second chance miss
'Cause I love you,
And I miss you,
Baby it's true,
I live off second chances
I live off second chances
Red sky, ends the day
Waiting at the station don't be late
I'll take the time, if it makes you mine,
So we'll be together
Blue sky, sunny day
Sitting on the corner, waste away
Take the time, you've mind your mind
And now we'll be together
Now we'll be together

Hot Off The Press
02:54

New paintings from a by-gone age
Re-discovered, it's not too late
Road kill on the M65
Ten dead bodies, couldn't save a life
So please pick me up
Try and hide me from the fuzz
Page one super-star
I'm just way down on my luck
I'm hot off the press
It's all everyone is talking about
Hide my face, can't let the news get out
Made an enemy of all I fear
Worst mistake, lord get me out of here
So please pick me up
Try and hide me from the fuzz
Page on super-star
I'm just way down on my luck
I'm hot off the press

On Sunday Morning
03:08
|
|||
|
Saturday: I drop by your empty place,
Wonder if you'll make me wait another day
Living free isn't all its made to be
No-one's spending time with me; its hurting me
So I'll wait 'til...
Sunday morning; sun is rising over me
Awaking me, up to...
Sunday morning; tired, I'm yawning joyously,
They're seeing me
Wednesday: I am getting lonely,
Time has started dragging me, nagging me
The city at mid-day is empty,
My friends are too busy to see me

Flowers
03:39

I can see the flowers growing in and out of time
Sun is setting, daytime sleeping; say goodbye to light
I believe in special feelings pulling out the love
Because its hiding, uninvited, in every one of us
Like flowers in the nighttime,
Waiting for the right time to arise
Meet the moon-light in their eyes
I keep looking for them rainbows; where's my pot of gold?
In the stars with flying cars where dreams make up our homes
Sun is setting; children getting tired go to sleep
All the while the flowers grow out: ready to be seen

The Smiler

I've been dreaming of smiling one day anywhere
I know that I don't like it but I hate to say
My doctor says it'll help me if I smile all the way
I keep on smiling at all the people hurting me,
Sly if I don't like them but I act happily
I don't know how to keep on smiling
Gonna have to try another day
I look into my mirror every single night;
Practising my smiles, I hope I get them right
Gonna read about somebody else's life
Mine's got far too boring: I have to play nice

Lovely lady: I want you to know
I love you baby; don't ever go
Lady,
Lady love...
Lovely lady: I need you to say
You love me baby, if its OK
Lady,
Lady love...
Lovely lady: please let me know
You love me baby - won't ever go
Lady,
Lady love...
Eyes of blue,
Loving you,
Be the one,
Who's my dream girl,
You're my dream, girl,
Forever yours, girl,
My lady love, girl...

The Room Upstairs London, UK
Since forming in 2014, The Room Upstairs have become album-era hanger-on-ers, decorating themselves in retro-tinged melodies
and folk-rock lyricisms. They muse on mortality, nostalgia, the passage of time, and emotional life crises (quarter, mid, or just normal "ran-out-of-milk" stuff). That said, they also wrote this biography, so maybe listen and debate the bias.
