edward ka-spel - promises promises / not a drop to drink / the longest word lyrics

[promises, promises]
promises, promises
the future’s looking bright
promises, promises
leave me on cloud 9
(promises)
shouted, whispered
spun in lullabies
keep me numb
keep me hanging
keep me satisfied

why won’t you look into my eyes?
i won the race, i want my prize
give me…

promises, promises
served with l+st, spin
promises, promises
works with silver wings
your promises
shall we swap those rings?
promises, tell me
what’s inside the tin?
why does tomorrow stay that way?
this [?]pennies drop and slip away
is this blind faith?
promises, promises
promises, promises
promises
that’s enough, that’s enough, that’s enough

baby colours sing la+la+la pull on the string in the garden say pardon and hand me a ring in a box sure i’ll faint with the shock of the promise you can’t+
(i’ll respect you respect+)
let’s make the picture much bigger+ in heaven i sit on the cloud that’s forever i’ll never be bored+
say it loud i’m a god it’s okay to be proud it’s a promise you made it a promise, a pledge+
(i expect. i expect. i expect. i expect. i expect. i expect.)

[not a drop to drink]

no progress with the stubborn stains
we left the cake out in the rain
storms [susans up????] the roof
we gathered ’round a single candle
the closest store is 10 miles down
a road where all the bailiffs drown
i wish i had a view
i’m careful with these sandals
the cupboards running empty
rovers dinging on fresh mud
of which there’s truly plenty
since the flood
my mobile’s now a handy torch
but nearly out of juice
you’re not shouting loud enough
except for the abuse
give me time, i need to think
there has to be an answer
maybe we can build a raft
and triumph from disaster
ahh, but you’re the swimmer
may i play the sweet spot in your case?
i’ll shout instructions from inside
as we boldly go in search for safer sp+ce
a safer sp+ce
i know it’s out there

[the longest word]

the longest word
died in the book
a pendant on a shelf
a library condemned by the department of good health
for our security
the secret in locked sepia and mould partly powdered+
obsolete
destined to be pulp

the longest word too complex for the man who will forget
a number over five
a name he gave his pet
a word that somehow never made it to the world
why, when, coughing sound bites
chewing chewing

con+concentrate
con+concentrate
my mind just drifts away
con+concentrate
i’ll skip the intro
to page 88
do i have to?
this is torture
being flayed alive
but i’m alive…
…i think

the longest word
longs for the language
that time forgot
a tongue that could roll slowly
without untying knots
a word so enigmatic
it floats in [?]beyond
in its cell
a word we can’t remember
a word we cannot spell

concentrate, just concentrate
try not to drift away
concentrate
no pictures
you know what people say
a little torture
makes you stronger
there’s pleasure in the pain
reminds you you’re alive…

…you think
