Get out on the town Live your life, don't look back I know thats its hard Its complex, its a mess Your diction - unsurpassed You've got style, you've got class Circumstance has been cruel You've got drive, you've been schooled. Isabelle this is not a love song This is about our futures Everythings going to be ok (Everything will be ok) At work you're all there Dilligent, perfect hair, You're so organised That should be recognised But when days are through you dont know what to think You latch onto things that remind you of him Isabelle this is not a love song This is about our futures Everythings going to be ok (Everything will be ok) Angled stares in a late night corridor Education won't cut it anymore Apparently having the best time anyway Carrying on as if this was any day Heart won't let you let go - not properly I'm optimistic that you'll get there eventually It takes a hell of a lot of energy Everything will be oh Isabelle this is not a love song This is about our futures Everythings going to be ok (Everything will be ok)

The Flâneur 03:06
I'm a flaneur That means I walk around and listen to people’s conversations Just like you do The only difference is I do it with a level of sophistication And then I write it all down in my journal I'm saving it up for a novel It’s gonna be a heartbreaking work of staggering genius Sometimes it's nice to connect the dots, walking from elephant to bank Sometimes it’s nice to connect the dots, walking from the Tate to warren street Sometimes it’s nice to connect the dots, to join the dots to the other dots Sometimes it’s nice and sometimes it's not. I'm not a walker I'm a flaneur You see I'm moving with a little more class You're right about that cos I'm a writer Don’t ever doubt that anything that gets said is getting stored in my head For my novel, did I mention I was writing a book and I'll let you have a look It’s moving out from my mind, to get finessed into prose, It’s getting sprayed on the page, when I find the right time Sometimes it's nice to connect the dots, walking from elephant to bank Sometimes it’s nice to connect the dots, walking from the Tate to warren street Sometimes it’s nice to connect the dots, to join the dots to the other dots Sometimes it’s nice and sometimes it's not. I wanna write I wanna write But am just too tired am just too tired I know I've got something great inside I’ve got something great inside Je vieux creiex un daguerreotype mobile et passioné Je vieux creiex un daguerreotype mobile et passioné

We sat cross legged, on the river steps, sipping cafe au lait, eating buttery crepes Watching boats float by, on a tourist ride Climbing winding streets to the Sacre Coeure, Parisian girls sit, on a brasserie stair Parisian gangsters, kissing on the corner Running from the metro to the Eiffel Tower Sitting in the park in the midnight hour (We were) Lying on the grass getting offered cheap wine Kids were getting drunk on a Saturday night Montmartre started coming to life Cabaret clubs and the deep red lights Sticky morning streets, in the morning sunlight In the shade of the Louvre, wine taste from the last night Booksellers on the Seine, getting prints feeling allright Kissing under the bridge from the Phoenix video in the Latin quarter, Daft Punk on the stereo Sebastian Tellier, slick sounding electro Running from the metro to the Eiffel Tower Sitting in the park in the midnight hour (We were) Lying on the grass getting offered cheap wine Kids were getting drunk on a Saturday night Montmartre started coming to life Cabaret clubs and the deep red lights Art galleries, people painting in a side street Overground metropolitan, plastered with graffiti, Underground fashion, kids fresh from their head to feet In the old cafe, staring at each other Lovers silently away, in the city undercover Lovers running away, run away for the summer Running from the metro to the Eiffel Tower Sitting in the park in the midnight hour (We were) Lying on the grass getting offered cheap wine Kids were getting drunk on a Saturday night Montmartre started coming to life

Ooh let's go out Noooo let's stay in Tell me the things you like to do Tell me the things that float your boat Tell me the things that you don't like that get your goat tell me Tell me the place you like the best Would you rather move around or rest Let's put the theory to the test Shall we go to a library or go to a party? Do something exciting or go somewhere arty? Library can be a good place to meet girls Party is good for studying people Library is good for drinking alcohol Party is good for reading journals Library is a place to make new friends Party is good for surfing the web Library is good for playing twister Party is good to talk big business Shall we go to a library or go to a party? Do something exciting or go somewhere arty? I need an extra introvert to introduce me to an Extra version of myself That I sometimes meet on the way in He's always out in parties I'm always stuck in libraries We never see each other But that's the way we like it Library! Party! Cos life is a journey , its not just a moment You’ve got keep learning, you’ve got to stay open Cos life is a journey , its not just a moment Go to the library, and find the fullfillment

about

Year of the Fiery Horse Liverpool, UK

Hello! Year of the Fiery Horse are a four piece alternative rock / synthpop band from Liverpool and Manchester. We combine glossy synths, three part vocal harmonies, pounding drums, simmering basslines and complex guitar melodies. Our influences include Phoenix, Metronomy and Pavement. We’ve had an early play from Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music) and been gigging around the North West for the past year. ... more
