Track Name: Hanging
A boy is on the stage, he is young and beautiful,
He is totally at home but he's miserable,
Well he must be very sensitive to have come this far,
And every single minute he is thinking of you,
And he put a lot of thought into his haircut too,
Appearance is important in his line of work.

Don't buy his music and don't go to his shows,
He is just going to let you down,
It doesn't make a difference how much poetry he knows,
He is only going to leave you hanging.

The boy hates his face but he describes it well
For an audience who like him 'cause they're in the same hell,
He mistakes it for love but you didn't have to.

This is not a climax, not an uplifting chorus,
It's just a drop in the ocean,
Stay on the phone love, help is coming.

I'll sing you a song and I'll put on a show,
But I'm still going to let you down,
It doesn't make a difference how much poetry I know,
I am always going to let you down,
I wish that it was different but it's all that I know,
I am always going to leave you hanging.
Track Name: There Are No Maps For This Part Of The City
There are no maps for this part of the city,
I've never been here and neither have you,
Honey we'll just need to find some kind of way through,

There are no maps for these late bars and theatres,
No pull out guides to what we should do,
Honey we'll just need to find some kind of way through,

And maybe if I love you at all I should let go of your hand now,
See that you get safely home and that you never find out how much that I love you,
Cause much that I love you I am completely lost,
I'm so far off the map I've no frame of reference,
I am completely lost.

How did I get here so far from everything, feeling like I've come home?
I never wanted to hurt anybody but darling I can't bear to go,
Is that the world exploding or is it just this bar closing?
