I see you in the autumn leaves falling out of love with me cinnamon and cherry tea that's how we used to be Now your'e awake at stranger times in strangers beds but you were mine sipping on cinnamon and cherry tea come and have a drink with me But you're so scared of everything you're anxious Tuesday mornings Remember when I would sing you back to sleep playing cinnamon and cherry tea you've made such a mess of me Now you're just a stranger who knows too much about my brain and my body we'd drink cinnamon and cherry tea wish you could fall right back in love with me If I made cinnamon and cherry tea think you could fall right back in love with me?

First Verse: He might have slept in my bed But your'e the one right awake up in my head He might kiss me goodnight But I wake up on a different side And it's your word I analyse When he talks to me it slips my mind And I like that, you're what I can't have Chorus: Hum me back to the revolution You're my New Years resolution Mischiefing midnight muse Kiss my neck and melt my blues to purples Yeah I'd like that But you're what I can't have Second Verse: He might look like God's child But you're bad, unknown and so wild And his eyes are green diamonds But when you and I sit in silence The room is heavier than space I want a taste of the sweet nonsense I want a place in your sick conscience I like that you're what I can't have Chorus: Hum me back to the revolution You're my New Years resolution Mischiefing midnight muse Kiss my neck and melt my blues to purples Yeah I'd like that But you're what I can't have Yeah I'd like that But you're what I can't have Yeah I'd like that But you're what I can't have Yeah I'd like that But you're what I can't have

First Verse: Cookie Dough Coffee under the sun you lost me said friendship lasts forever I guess I should have known better Chorus: I swear I spoke to an angel I saw your face in fables you'd recite me fairytales while I cried over needles and nails Second Verse: Odd socks in the mornings you left me without warning I believed your lies for you called me irreplaceable Chorus: I swear I spoke to an angel I saw your face in fables you'd recite me fairytales while I cried over needles and nails Third Verse: Daffodils and Daises the scent would drive us crazy strange I knew you last week stranger that we don't speak Chorus: Since your in the land of angels I saw your face in fables you'd recite me fairytales while I cried over needles and nails

Sirens 03:04
I want to leave to where the land meets the sea you want to stay in a place that's dry and safe Chrous: You are scared of sirens and I am scared of you used to read me stories now your eyes are violent I'm confused I want to leave to someplace you cant follow me you want to stay and hide away with me all day Chrous: You are scared of sirens and I am scared of you used to read me stories now your eyes are violent I'm confused I want to leave to where the land meets the sea you want to stay in a place that's dry and safe Chrous: You are scared of sirens and I am scared of you used to read me stories now your eyes are violent I'm confused

Wolf 02:37
Pretty one we played a lot of games We had a lot of fun I'd always run away you could never find me hide and seek now I'm gone for good you would chase me in the woods counting down from ten but you won't see me again You called your self the wolf you were angry all the time I didn't see the signs I didn't see the signs you called yourself the wolf and I called you mine we called each other home Iv'e been homesick all my life muddled one I was sitting in your room of different shades of blue I'd ask you for the time you would never tell me hide and seek I don't know why I stay think I'm obsessed with mistakes my friends said you were wrong they were right all along you called yourself the wolf we would only meet at night I didn't see the signs, I didn't see the signs you called yourself the wolf only you could read my mind I didn't see the signs, I didn't see the signs you called yourself the wolf and I called you mine we called each other home Iv'e been homesick all my life

about

Head of Blue is a splatter of melancholy. Deceivingly up-beat at times because of jangly percussion and riffs- most of the songs are danceable despite the sad lyrics. Each track is an ode to something, be it unrequited affection or nostalgia. Head of Blue refers to how we associate feelings with colours and all the funny thoughts and connotations that go along with that. Head of Blue is the same head that wrote these songs, they came from the blue, and now they are with you.
