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 04:08
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
3.
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
4.
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

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
9.
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
10.
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

about

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
