          Lyrics


          Britannia Row Recordings

          MES:
          Bought
          Watch
          Holographic
          Plastic
          Multicoloured

          Imperial watch
          Imperial stack

          Eleni:
          One side of my face is laughing
          The other side of my face is laughing
          You signed your words when I was sleeping
          You stole my title and youโ€™re dreaming

          MES:
          The title was taken
          Only one given
          No need to know
          It's too late
          I need it back
          I need it back

          Eleni:
          One side of my face is laughing
          The other side of my face is laughing
          You signed your words when I was sleeping
          You stole my title and youโ€™re dreaming

          MES:
          Imperial wharf
          Imperial stack

          One side of its face is laughing
          One side of its face is black
          Back side of head is now flowing
          Top half of its head is showing
          It's very close

          Eleni:
          One side of my face is laughing
          The other side of my face is laughing
          You signed your words when I was sleeping
          You stole my title and youโ€™re dreaming

          MES:
          Imperial wharf
          Imperial stack

          The soiled words are corroding
          From the back
          It's quarter to seven
          It's a great great lie

          Eleni:
          One side of my face is laughing
          The other side of my face is laughing
          You signed your words when Iโ€™m was sleeping
          You stole my title and youโ€™re dreaming

          MES:
          Imperial wharf
          Imperial stack

          (โ€ฆtraffic ) was never seen again

          Imperial Wax Solvent

          He bought a watch
          A holographic multicoloured little watch
          I brought it to him
          It was a golden watch and acted like a virus
          [ ]
          Another one
          Cause I'm on the outside of time
          They're all asleep
          It's night time
          It's my time
          My baby's working fine
          Signed photos
          Blind faces
          Try to affect me
          On the side car
          My faces
          Try to affect
          Your sleep
          Your words
          Under
          All asleep
          In your room
          My time
          While you're still breathing
          The nuclear pink
