01. The Remainderer (Smith) 4:34  Lyrics

He's forgot
How to break loose
Become a tree
Become a tree
Break loose
Whatever it is it is always Rememberance R
Whatever it is it is always Remainderer R

Your scumbag it's true
Never forget
This is you each week
Rememberance R

You know
Rememberance forgets
And beyond jeopardy that all we are
Beyond, he sees
I think of you
And whatever it is it is always Remainderer R
Remainder R

he throwed his kool-aid, out his stool
Into the bucket
Never forget
Rememberance is worth nothing

it was a good day
Whatever that is
It was a bright, sunny, re-written morning
Sunny!
But it removed his back flute
Breeding pits
As he kept
There was nothing there
From Rememberance R
He has forgotten
That whatever it is it is always Rememberer R
Whatever you think it is always Remainderer R
And whatever you think it is always Remainderer R

And whatever you think
And whatever you bring
it's true

Rememberence R
Whether 90s or 70s
Your spots in projects
In words

02. Amorator! (Smith/Melling) 3:24  Lyrics

Fade in now
Fade it in now

Hat's on in a spot
That resembled an attempt to knit flag
Tunnel imploring
Tunnel exploding
Our intersection colludes
Into a vacation you became
When your profession
Dropped you in a job, exhilarant
It hits you
And the terror
Our hearts
We are...

Never forget
Your brain is a bubble of water
And a blank sheet
For a top-up

The frost covers up what the summer men made
The frost covers up what the sloth bird brought
The frost covers up what the summer men made
The summer covers up
What the sloth bird, sickening you with its false notes
And love that you secretly love
At the intersection it colludes
Into the vacation that became your profession
And dropped you in a job

03. Mister Rode (Smith/Melling/Spurr/Greenway) 6:39  Lyrics

I got a name, I gotta say
I got a name, I gotta say
I got a name, I gotta say

And it just came and then it stopped
It just came and then it stopped

I got a look translucent
I got a look translucent face
My mirror dissolves every day

I got a name, I got a face
I got a name, I gotta say
I gotta show medical doors
All wang doctors all tryna...

It came in tricolours with headband
Its summers were all in a day
They had a name, they had a face
They had a name, they had a say
They had a say

Said going downtown
They had a name
They got a say

It came in tricolours each day
When I’d seen it show today
When I’d seen those swinging doors
No rich door

Gimme just don’t
Come round and lemon freshness
The lemon freshness
The lemon freshness

I gotta show medical doors
All right
Gonna kill

I got a name, I gotta say
I got a name, I gotta say
I got a name, I gotta say
I got a name, I gotta say

I got a name

I got a name, I gotta say
I gotta show a barrel of doors
I gotta walk, I got around
I get a seat, I got a name

It just came and then it stopped
It just came and then it stopped
Then it stopped

It just came and then it stopped
I got a name, I gotta say
I got a name, I gotta say
It’s taking off

It said and took off
I got a name, I got a face

04. Rememberance R (Smith/Melling/Spurr) 6:09  Lyrics

The spirit of the devil is in canajetta
He can't help it
He can't

He sits upon.. waiting
Metal fire escape
Half way, half way, waiting
He breaks the stick
He takes refuge in
Deserts, deserts him
Don't forget Rememberance R
He sits upon fire escape
The ipod doesn't work
He smothers his own, own tomorrow
Remember the trance
Rememberance, rememberance
Rememberance R

And the sadness comes
The train to spite
With objects that worth
He sees visions in gothic club
Awake here
And the house is keeping up
He doesn't realize
Rememberance R
Sitting on the black steps of the fire escape
Rememberance R

Has to go home
He's forgot his guitar
But his soul break loose
And become a tree
Make me sick at a bar
Rememberance R
Rememberance R

You play in the winter sun
With replacement teeth
The cackle has
The cackle has
Landed
Like R
Rememberance R
And a screw will break loose

[Spoken by Simon Archer:]
How can I start to tell you, like your favourite pub, there's hardly any. They just reform after 17 years, and like they've forgot about the sweat and the long journeys in the back of vans. They're just running on Rememberance, and remember this is an encore time at the end of 90 minutes on the stage. They appear out of nowhere and like expect you to treat them like an equal, while they've been decorating or teaching for like the last 10 years, having a life and a wife and a kids. And they say a tenner an EP, get home for half three. I smell the brown mews in the dark, I recognise the sparse carpet weekend '89. Deep seated, early finish. Rust, rememberances are dust, the early push, the fear of parking fee.

06. Touchy Pad (Smith/Poulou) 2:25  Lyrics

There's always a show there
In the castle
In the castle, is decay
It has been invaded
[Where's my time machine?]
By Asians with weak bones
[Where's my time machine?]
They cry
[ahhhhhaaa!]
How long can we tolerate this
[Where's my time machine?]

[Shoot us!]
They say "Judas"
I love them
AI that's too much price
And save the money yourself
And buy some uniforms
From the retired customs official

Your lousy country stinks anyway
Shop London
Welsh kids
Your slime leaks and mixes
With the tentacles of the Old Ones

[You are waiting for
You are waiting for
Our exhibition
Our exhibition]
