Hollowing Out
03:27
|

Ooh, what a time to live
I see a slowly burning me
What a sight
I cannot stop
I’m racing, my mind’s on the clock
I’m all I see, I’m here, you’re looking past me
Hollowing, hollowing out
I’m hollowing, hollowing out
Hollowing Out
Another good time
Another chance to go
And get in line
Another style has died and now we know
We’re far behind
I need to believe I mean to do such good
I’m down on my knees praying for things that I need
Hollowing, hollowing out
I’m hollowing, hollowing out
Hollowing Out

Happy Man

I am a happy man
Never mind, you can’t see me
I was a happy child
They tell me so
I can’t recall it
Oh my love you’re so far away
I want to see you
Oh how long since you went away
I want to see you
I’m here at twenty eight
It’s much the same
Too scared to break it
We talk, we’re on repeat
I must admit I love to complain
Oh my love you’re so far away
I want to see you
Oh how long since you went away
I want to see you

Wanna Sleep Tonight
03:22

Quick feelings
Dumb faces
Daily news
Runs through you
Feeds off you
Lights you up
Wake up sick
Plug right in
Start again
You see all of it
You feel none of it
I wanna sleep tonight
I wanna sleep tonight
You don’t think
Don’t know it
It feels so good
I’ll give in
Let it in
I’m hooked up
You see all of it
You feel none of it
I wanna sleep tonight
I wanna sleep tonight
You see all of it
You feel none of it
I wanna sleep tonight
I’m keeping up tonight

Orange Lights

Here again, I feel it start again
Won’t you take me somewhere nice
It’s on the film
You never really watch the famous faces soothing time
Stop
Nothing’s going on today
It feels good
It gets you like it should
Gives me something new to say
I’ll find the truth and put some money on
And wait to hear I’ve got it made
Okay
I think I need you more today
I’m alright
I’ll turn my face to the light
Sign me up
I’m sure I’ll hold up my side
Okay
I’ve heard the word
I’ll do just as you say
The news is hard but still I’m far removed
All the shops are drained of life
You catch my eye
I guess I’m still alive
Though I keep it to myself
Okay
I think I need you more today
I’m alright
I’ll turn my face to the light
Sign me up
I’m sure I’ll hold up my side
Okay
I’ve heard the word
I’ll do just as you say
I was up early morning
Orange lights illuminate
I could walk and get nowhere
That’s all that I need today
You watch the clock
What are you waiting for?
Half asleep your life runs out
They never see
See you as you want
Maybe I’ll move somewhere else
Stop
Nothing’s going on today
I’m alright
I’ll turn my face to the light
Sign me up
I’m sure I’ll hold up my side
Okay
I’ve heard the word
I’ll read the lines okay

Wake Me
02:42
|

Spying on the same life
It’s where you left it last night
Feed me with a new sign
Lead me with a good line
All I see and all I know
Still there’s more that you could show
It’s a dull and desperate game
It’s the time to go insane
Take me, I’m waiting
All that you think you see there
Was made to hold your sad stare
Imagine you were in it
Imagine that it all fits
Where you are is where you die
Still you sucked your future dry
It’s a dull and desperate game
It’s the time you turned away
Take me, I’m waiting
Watch me, I’m waiting

Normal Life
04:08
|

I lead a normal life
It doesn’t hurt to lead a normal life
I do my work and never break
What’s the point?
I lead a normal life
A familiar dream nags at me each night
I wake at eight
My back still aches
I never break
No one sees me
I sleep through the noise
Don’t say you now need me
I won’t complain
No one notices
I’m just a number
Never meant a thing
I drown in city lights
It doesn’t pay to breathe the city life
My smile’s polite
Cos I’m alright
It’s what they like
No one sees me
I sleep through the noise
Don’t say you now need me
I won’t complain
No one notices
I’m just a number
Never meant to think

We All Look So Nice
03:58
|

I think I’m looking at something
Is that me?
I think I’m looking at my life in full congratulations
I hope you notice these things I do
They’re done to show to you
We all look so nice
We all seem so sad
I could feel alright
Loading up a nice day I had
Put a filter on my life
It’s the best that I could find
I’m sleeping while I type
Some words I hope you like
We all look so nice
We all look so nice
We all look so nice
I flick through photos of your life
Is that you?
I think I’ve got some things worth saying
So do you
But I’m not looking or taking it in
I’m passing the time
It’s easier to do
We all look so nice
We all seem so sad
I could feel alright
Loading up a nice day I had
Put a filter on my life
It’s the best that I could find
I’m sleeping while I type
Some words I hope you like
We all look so nice
We all look so nice
We all look so nice

I'm Broken
03:30
|
|||
I’m feeling cold as ever
Wasted and worn
Don’t buy into my smiles
They’re only put on
Hooked on the past, killing tomorrow
I can’t see a future that can really be mine
I’m broken
I’m broken
I walk down it in the night
Expecting more
I feel like I’m drained of life
I need something more
Hooked on the past, killing tomorrow
I can’t see a future that can really be mine
I’m broken
I’m broken

The machine that changes itself
Can’t control what you choose to see
Can’t put it down
Can’t put it down
Phones like life sleeping by your side
Frightened of a real face
Never seen a real face
Never seen a real face
Comments below my life
Don’t add up to much
Every night I watch
Looking for someone who
Someone who understands
Someone understands
The machine that changes itself
The machine that changes itself

You can see it over there
Looks so real over there
Just in sight so you can lose it
And you know it will come good
You think it’s what you choose
Just enough rope to hang you
And it can’t be long now
What does it even mean now?
Waiting for your good days
Waiting for your good days
Waiting for them to come
Waiting for them
And you know it when you wake
It still races through your mind
We’ve had so many conversations
And what do you really see?
When you look at someone like me
I can’t tell if I’m still here
And it can’t be long now
What does it even mean now?
Waiting for your good days
Waiting for your good days
Waiting for them to come
Waiting for them
And it can’t be long now
What does it even mean now?
Waiting for your good days
Waiting for your good days
Waiting for them to come
Waiting for them
Waiting for them to come
Waiting for them

Red Telephone Cardiff, UK
Hailing from Cardiff, Red Telephone’s richly layered alt-rock could have emanated from a club in Blade Runner's dystopian LA - combining angular guitars, Krautrock-inspired rhythms and New Wave-tinged synths with infectious pop sensibilities. Drawing on post punk and synth pop influences, the band has been catching the attention of DJs across BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, Absolute Radio and Radio X. ... more
