breathing vapour, I wait in grey light
under the statue of Peter Pan
can you feel me?
copper cables are passing signals
I warm the pavement where I stand
can you feel me?
start to doubt that you'll ever get here
God It's like I'm flowing through this land
can you feel me?
this is a warning:
when I'm gone
you'll never hope to find me,
I'll never stop 'till I'm free
I know you can't live without me
from Redruth to Whitley Bay,
in The University Cafe the lights burn green
can you feel me?
it's only copper and glass and magnets
keeping me warm and safe and seen
can you feel me?
tied up in streetlights on your own
how can you find your way home?
you've no home to go to
this is a warning:
when I'm gone
you'll never hope to find me...
HUMAN CELLS IN MY VEINS
YOU ARE GUIDED BY MY UNSEEN HAND
YOU ARE THE GHOST OF PASSING LIFETIMES
BLINDLY CARRY OUT MY GIANT PLAN
...you'll never hope to find me,
I'll never stop 'till I'm free
of all the lies told about me
when I'm gone
you'll never hope to find me,
I'll never stop 'till I'm free
I know you can't live without me

Finish Line

in a brown box with the locks on
you've been waiting
the day has come
it's time to take your turn
pull your socks up
doesn't matter if it's raining
the bus won't wait
for you to change your mind
pulling up the ground beneath your feet
nobody else could
do what you do
and when you cross the finish line
I will be with you
you're only starting

it'll never be the way you pictured it
but it'll get you there
it might not come when you expected it
but it will be on time
don't forget to put the kitchen light out
leave the oven on
and lock the house up
for the next one
a little girl who is still waiting here
for her domestic bliss
tried so hard you tore your dress to bits
trying to get to this
don't forget to leave the landing lights on
doors to automatic
lost in static
fade away
doors to automatic
lost in static
fade away
we've been expecting you for some time now
you're holding up the game
it has come to our attention that
we didn't call your name
someone got lost on their way to somewhere
a sky full of traffic
lost in static
fade away
don't forget
to put the kitchen light out
leave the oven on
and lock the house up
for the next one

while you were sleeping
you have been moving
though you can't see it
everything's passing
lost in this snowstorm
the things you are hearing
the things you are seeing
are seeping right through you
you've made a cage for yourself and swallowed the key
if I cut you open would you
come with me?
let the things we built fall down
burn everything before now
we'll go silent 'cross the sea
you could have slipped right through this light
I've still got scratchmarks on my hand
where you made your final stand
while you were sleeping
you have been moving
though you can't see it
everything's passing
lost in this snowstorm
the things you are hearing
the things you are seeing
are seeping right through you
you've made a cage for yourself and swallowed the key
if I cut you open would you
come with me?
let the things we built fall down
burn everything before now

is the result of an unjustifiable transfer
to the stage
where it incorrectly remains
on a wet day
over black ice
better look twice
an unexpected shortcut
and accident I planned
come take my hand
throw the ball to someone who's name you remember
swap roles
and go through it all again
you let the objects be your equal
is the result of an unjustifiable transfer

riding through the canyon of heroes
to the sound of a thousand radios
to the whistling of ships and tugboats
brought home on a two-tonne pink rose
we stand on the shoulders of giants
we stand on the shoulders of giants
riding through the canyon of heroes
to the sound of a thousand radios
to the whistling of ships and tugboats
brought home on a two-tonne pink rose
we stand on the shoulders of giants
we stand on the shoulders of giants
imagine yourself here with me
uncounted points of light sparkling
staring at us from up in the air
are Felix the Cat and Yogi Bear
riding through the canyon of heroes
to the sound of a thousand radios
to the whistling of ships and tugboats
brought home on a two-tonne pink rose
we stand on the shoulders of giants
we stand on the shoulders of giants

It Hertz! Deluxe Edition
by Katsen
supported by 19 fans who also own “TSK!?”
Found KATSEN when looking into electronica\lowfi while working on my own. I quite loved what I'd heard, but unfortunately not in time to catch any physical material. Tried on Bandcamp, and lo! there's Katsen! Love this kind of music, slightly reminiscent of Men WIthout Hats and Simple Minds' REEL TO REEL CACOPHONY/EMPIRES AND DANCE era to me. This is a great collection, and glad to find Play For Today and others as bonus tracks! This is great.

Another brilliant E.P, such great music. 'Everybody Knows' is a fantastic song but each track is awesome in it's own different way.
