So Odd
04:34
|
|||
|
Put my hands together when I talk to god,
What are the odds of something so odd.
Spare the child, spare the rod,
That's real virtue, and it won't hurt you.
Catch me when I'm falling.
Catch me when I'm falling.
Catch me when I'm falling.
Catch me when I'm falling.
Catch me when I'm falling.
Make your way back to the world you forgot,
Love is blinded, What hides behind it.
Catch me when I'm falling.
Say you love me still,
Catch me when I'm falling.
Say you always will.

Two For Two
05:44
|
|||
|
Spilling into the ocean,
Playing by the bay,
You had me with a little devotion,
But emotions get carried away.
What's to worry,
It's two for two,
Another story,
That's all about you.
And if it's lonely,
That's two for two,
The seas are stormy,
We'll make it through.

Caught Me Off Guard
02:00
|
|||
|
You caught me off guard,
Picking up roses,
You put them in my heart,
And watch them all day,
You think everything is art,
But you just follow your noses,
Will I be on your list.
A devil in the dark,
An angel in the sunshine,
He's playing in your corner,
Playing for a win.
If everything is art,
Are we all just paintings,
Or will I be better again.
Who knows,
I believe you do.

In More Ways Than One
02:24
|
|||
|
I can't depart when there's a reason to stay,
And I'm sure I don't know when,
I must be on my way.
In more ways than one.
And there she goes again,
Into the darkened alley,
Followed by her friend,
Just make it home Sally,
'Cause in more ways than one,
You made my life a little better,
In more ways than one,
It's you I'll remember.
I'll remember.
I'll remember.
I'll remember.
Even if you forget.

Good Luck Charlie
03:03
|

|
Good luck Charlie,
They fed you to the wolves,
'Cause for a bit of money,
They said paradise can be yours.
I've been to all your parties,
And drank a lot of booze,
Gambled all I had,
'Cause I thought I'd never lose.
Surprise Surprise,
You can open your eyes,
Take a trip down that lonesome lane and,
Call my name if you recognise.
Good luck Charlie,
Wish you all the best,
Remember all the good you got,
Forget about the rest.
Well what do you know,
Time chases on your heals,
Now you seen what it looks like,
Now you know how it feels.
To be good like Charlie.

The Getaway Train
04:41
|
|||
|
She rides the ninety five bus,
Carries all her trust so thoughtfully.
Makes for the Getaway train,
all to hide her pain and actually,
I think I'm better off today.
I think I'm better off today.

Prisoners
04:39
|
|||
|
Watch'em coming,
Watch'em go,
What'em running,
Or walk so slow.
Doing their time in,
Prisoners of war,
Doing their time in,
Hundreds in a row,
Hundreds in a row.
Sitting in a cell,
Writing letters to people they know,
Talk to me through the bars that I'm in.

Advice From A Friend
05:27
|
|||
|
I wrote her a letter,
That I never planned to send,
I thought I'd feel better,
Here's some advice from a friend.
Your love will be your light,
Your love will be your light,
Your love will be your light,
Are you alright?
Feels like everyone's gone now,
Everybody's gone their way,
I'm taking my bow,
I'm wearing your smile.
Keep the one's you love close in your life,
They'll be your light,
Keep the one's you love close in your life.
They'll be your light.

Dazed in a shine he walks,
To a holy man at the docks,
Say's you know, I've been there too.
Where lights flicker blue.
Fellas mind, you've never seen.
A beauty bright as she,
How long will the arrow take,
To pass through you to me.
When I know it's only you,
Who makes light's flicker blue.
So dazed in a shine, he walks,
To a holy man at the docks,
Says you know, I've been there too.
When lights flicker blue.

Tuscany
04:10
|
|||
|
I think I'll go down to Tuscany,
Let my hair down and set my heart free.
I'll be the loneliest stranger,
Out in the world,
Maybe danger,
Maybe more,
The loneliest stranger knocking on my door.
I think I need to get my head right,
I'll chat up a lady, and spend the night,
And all of my loved ones, I know you're right.
But maybe I,
Could be more,
Than a lonely stranger,
Knocking on your door.
Sometimes I wonder,
What do I really know,
Where did I come from,
Where will I go.
I'd ask you to come by,
Just to say hello,
'Cause maybe I,
Could be more,
Than a lonely stranger,
Locked behind my door.
So I think I'll go down to Tuscany.

Mouse
05:17
|
|||
|
There is an open sea,
Out there waiting for me,
I lost me head,
Burned my heart,
Had to go back right to the start.
There is an open road,
I got my warning i was told,
I'd lose my head,
Burn my clothes,
Now i'm naked and everybody knows,
In here's a little mouse,
Living hand to mouth,
If happiness is a loaded gun,
Then shoot me twice I want to have fun.
Out there on the open sea,
There ain't nothing, not a tree,
You'd be proud i saw a cloud,
That looked like me, tranquility.
And what do clouds do,
And what do clouds do.
Long been, out on a limb,
Can't do without, can't do within,
It isn't easy, it never was,
Out on the ocean, this sea of love.
So I walk on the open road,
I got so tired of being told,
I have to laugh and I have to cry,
You never ask, then wonder why.
Why do clouds do,
Why do clouds do.
Look around, you'll find a shore,
Love you forever, and forever more,
Got my satchel, shoe and shirt,
Mouse is ready now, let's hit the dirt.

Over The City
06:27
|
|||
|
Lights go out over the city,
Your memories a souvenir,
I thought tonight you looked so pretty,
In Kashmir.
Lights go out and didn't you notice,
How colours fade into the sky,
Everyone's got a purpose,
You gotta try.
And lovely,
Everything I know is in the nighttime,
And everything I do,
Is all for you.
I need someone who'll keep a promise,
Who'll hear me talking in my sleep,
Who'll lay a head on my shoulder,
And teach my how to speak.
And lovely,
Nothing'll harm you now,
You make a wish, I'm out the door,
That's what wishes are for.
Lights go out over the city,
Under the moonlight we sway,
Dancing beneath the stars,
Hearing voices that say,
From here on the clouds shower rain,
Before you're gone,
You might as well,
Enjoy the pain.
So Lights go out over the city,
I take a step back and look,
How everything shines with pity,
You're all good in my book.
There's always something that's calling,
Always endless disarray,
Imagine people mourning,
When lights come back the next day.
And lovely,
Everything you fear is in the nighttime,
All my troubles end here,
And it starts to snow.

Saviour
02:58
|

|
You've been my saviour for a while,
I'm telling you 'cause I think you should know,
I never planned to go.
It's been my pleasure to see you smile,
it climbs up through you so I think you should know,
it makes, makes you grow.
And if we're going out, we're doing it with style,
I'm telling you 'cause I think you should know,
This Human Outlet's a show.

Human Outlet
Human Outlet mixes all types of genres and instrumentation, melodic folk compositions, delving into neo-electronic experiments. There is a certain minimalist touch to the way things come together. Delicate acoustic guitar finger picking, chugging power chords, harmonica melodies, haunting rattles and slightly surreal lyrics, making skewed folktronica that is full of inventive motifs and lyrics. ... more

The Taiwanese duo's latest is a ticket to a sonic space that’s familiar yet otherworldly, a half-dreamt subtropical archipelago one senses they’re only beginning to map.
