Out Of Control

Don't get too excited, don't get involved, don't get excited about someone you don't know
Don't get excited, when you feel like hanging on let go
Cos it is out of your control
Get excited, get involved, get excited, out of control,
Get excited about someone you don't know
Get excited, when you feel like hanging on, let go
Cos it is out of your control
Yes it is out of your control
Out of control, yes it is out of your control
Get excited, play that game
Get excited, never explain
Take your clothes off and run naked in the rain
You can't have pleasure if you never feel the pain
Out of control, yes it is out of your control
Insecurity's a defamation of the great impossible
Electricity's an explanation for the most infallible
Even chemistry's a supposition when the day of judgement's near
Even history's a grim prediction of everything I fear
Out of control, yes it is out of your control

Gluttony

I see you through a haze, how you behave, this much is true
I fade, I'm zoning out, when you're inside of me I'm not in the room
And it burns and it hurts till I just can't do it
Feed that poor little girl in the mirror, feel her fear, feel her doubt
Feed the fire that makes her a winner, feel it, feed it, stick it out
I know I'm sending you out of control, that much is clear
I promise not to tell, cos when I'm crying out they never hear
And they scream it at me but I just can't do it
Feed that poor little girl in the mirror, feel her fear, feel her doubt
Feed the fire that makes her a winner, feel it, feed it, stick it out
And I'm surrounded by such pretty things
Shining like a broken star
And inside they say I'm glistening
Here's the shard that pierced my heart
I stick it out

Simple

V1 When I think about all the time we ever shared
It was so simple, so easy
When I think about the time I never cared
It was so simple, so easy
And now I speak to you and all I feel is blank
And when I call you cannot reach me
And when I look at you a knife is in your hand, what’s going on?
CHORUS
There’s no way to feel your pain so I can understand
There’s no way to watch you bleed and wait with empty hands just let it go
Find a reason not to leave, take command,
Letting go would be so easy
V2 When I think about all the songs we ever heard
They were so simple, so easy
You write to me, you use those very words
It’s simply not easy
And now I sing to you and all you hear is black
And when you call you cannot reach me
And then I see you use the knife that’s in your hand, what’s going on?
CHORUS
And I just seem to blame myself, I feel the need to blame myself,
I feel the need to blame myself, can’t find the strength to carry on

Low

V1 Tried my best to make a happy day, tried to lift me from the low
Tried my best to make a happy day, tried to lift me from the low
But I go up and then I know up is inside outside and now it’s down again
I see nowhere else to be nowhere I can flee nowhere I can go
CHORUS
Except low, low, low, solo I go so I’ll sing all my troubles away, ay, ay sing it away oh
I’ll sing all my troubles away
V2 Travelled just as far as I could go without a rocket ship or two
Saying I just didn’t want to know, I’m never going back to you
So I flew over the Atlantic and the Pacific and went around again
I see nowhere else to be nowhere I can flee nowhere I can go
CHORUS
And there’s no matter where I go matter what I know matter what I said
There’s no matter what I do, there ain’t no new voice inside my head
Let me go so low, let me go solo, I’ll sing all my troubles away, ay, ay, sing it away oh
I’ll sing all my troubles away

Leave Me

Today it's just an hour
Today you're not so strong
Today I watch you breathe
Today, not for so long
Leave me, you're going to leave me
It's not too hard, it's not too tough, it's not too long
Today for just an hour, to bring back those happy times again
Today we were all in here beside you like the old days
We'll be there till the end
Leave me, you're going to leave me
It's not too hard, it's not too tough, it's not too long

Liza Bec London, UK
Liza Bec and their band Spiral Dial write stories and make music to bring them to
life.
The twisted musical core of the spiral consists of Rhian the roborecorder: part computer, part faux baroque plastic reproduction. Liza and their roborecorder have been featured in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, the BBC Radio 6 music museum and New Scientist magazine.
