Golden Hour 03:25
Now I see you Now I don’t Now I see you Now I don’t The sun is poking fun at me It’s nowhere to be seen (Now i see you, now I don’t) Please show me the world How I want to see it (Now i see you, now I don’t) Light is a game always fading This sadness I’m serenading (Now i see you, now I don’t) Earthly wonder (We are golden) Earthly wonder (We are golden) Earthly wonder (We are golden) Earthly wonder (We are golden) I only regret The truly epic failures (Now i see you, now I don’t) My mistakes were the best Thing I ever did (Now i see you, now I don’t) So many broken people But all are smiling (Now i see you, now I don’t) Earthly wonder (We are golden) Earthly wonder (We are golden) Earthly wonder (We are golden) Earthly wonder (We are golden) Now I see you Now I don’t Only light and shadow But I love it so Irresistable I’ll stay here for a while

Interesting guests on the mezzanine A porno refuge caught in a smokescreen International venues hosting a parade A thousand menus sitting in the shade I’ve got silver on my mind It’s raining in the street The only place I know is The ground beneath my feet Jaded pilgrims cluster at the shrine Faceless banquets harder to define Adolescent wet-dreams gather at the square Beggars on the breadline looking for the fare I’ve got silver on my mind It’s raining in the street The only place I know is The ground beneath my feet This girl has something on her mind it’s clear But how can I make her understand I’m here To take her mind away From all that she holds dear Psychic strangers corporate entertainers Playing every trick in the pantomime Ageing mavericks guiding the blind Imitation vendors never hard to find I’ve got silver on my mind It’s raining in the street The only place I know is The ground beneath my feet

I’ll tell you things You won’t believe Your innocence I will relieve All I’ll ever ask At first at least More to come later Please put my demons at ease Please excuse me and my unbridled pleasure Please excuse me at your leisure Please allow me allow me this forever Please excuse my demons I have to confess They’ve got flaws They don’t understand Rules, logic or laws They’re very scary But they’ve got feelings They’re scared really Of everyday dealings Please excuse me and my unbridled pleasure Please excuse me at your leisure Please allow me allow me this forever Please excuse my demons I sometimes feed them In the night­time Long after midnight They get to dine By day you feed them They’re very hungry Everything I do and see They come with me and eat Please excuse me and my unbridled pleasure Please excuse me at your leisure Please allow me allow me this forever Please excuse my demons Why would I tell you About my problems? Cos you may very well rob them Please excuse my demons

Yesterday I felt So different Think you’re the victim So become the bully Brand new today and tomorrow’s sale The only problem We always forget (I’ve) Seen it all Rise then Fall This is the new normal Grey area Dark matter Everything at once You sort it out Because you are the Information All that once was Will still be King of the castle Dirty rascal (I’ve) Seen it all Rise then Fall This is the new normal

Waves 03:10
Waves of comfort and Waves of joy Waves of illusions and Waves that destroy Sorrow and waves and Waves of hope Waves of nanos and Waves of jokes I hope you enjoy it Enjoy everything I hope you enjoy it Enjoy everything I’m in a boat adrift at sea Sailing with those who care about me We’re rolling with the changes Look out the windows, you’ll see! Waves of horror and Waves too deep Waves of loving and Waves of sleep Waves of inspiration and Waves we’ll forget Waves of sadness Waves are infinite I hope you enjoy it I hope you enjoy it Enjoy everything I hope you enjoy it Enjoy everything

Pavilion 02:45
Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there Driving at night With the moon in tow It follows our car Wherever we go The waves on the beach Dance their loop slow Shadows in the trees The wind only knows Meet me at the Pavilion Dancing in the millenium I know you from before But you’re not here anymore Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there Joking and smoking We’ll do this forever Got a job but his dog Was the more clever I’ve got my ideas I’ll be the big man Look after yourself And get a plan Meet me at the Pavilion Dancing in the millenium I know you from before But you’re not here anymore This is our history Don’t invent your victories Let’s make a new story Enjoy the mystery Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there Tonight Tonight Tonight I'll see you there

Ordinary Day 03:52
It’s an ordinary day in the summer Children playing in the sun It’s an ordinary day in the summer Never noticed that you’re gone I’ve been to the edge of the world And I’ve seen all that I need to see The blood was on the door But the angel stopped and stared at me It’s an ordinary day in the summer Children playing in the sun It’s an ordinary day in the summer Never noticed that you’re gone I came out alive Breaking bread with the devil Just to survive All that’s left behind Is a burning flame in the rain That will never die t’s an ordinary day in the summer Children playing in the sun It’s an ordinary day in the summer Never noticed that you’re gone

Throw a coin in the wishing well Make a wish you can never tell Cool breeze on your tired face Bringing sounds from another place What more can you really need From a world overflowing with greed? It’s your brother on the other side Wishing that you’ll never collide Maybe I wanted the feeling Of having it all for a day A fickle dream they say Misery waits in the shadows Isn’t it time to come clean? But all I see is green Drawn in to an endless sin Irresistible when you win Hold back or dive straight in Might never be genuine Footsteps that leave no trace Like a ghost moving place to place Lost words that you carry around Never been used since they were found Maybe I wanted the feeling Of having it all for a day A fickle dream they say Misery waits in the shadows Isn’t it time to come clean? But all I see is green Maybe I did hurt your feelings Maybe I even made you cry But now you know I lied Again and again just to save face Isn’t it time to come clean? But all I see is green

Watch Out 02:42
I once feared monsters under the bed Now something's hidden under my head It must have been stowed away for later use It's form is bulky, solid, obtuse I don't know how this has happened Our lofty dreams are now flattened I'll find any bottle and slug it Now my grave's ready; my lover's dug it People say to me You'll just have to watch out My fears haunting me You'll just have to watch out Someone's hearts not in it anymore They show more interest in any bore They don't spend any time with me This loneliness has blinded me I'll find a way out into the light I'll make my way undercover of night I don't know how to cut all my ties To a life built upon one big lie People say to me You'll just have to watch out My fears haunting me You'll just have to watch out

Black Box 04:46
Time slows down when you do something new We've just found all that was hidden of you Time slows down when you do something new Is that you I always thought I knew Time slows down when you do something new We've just found all that was hidden of you Time slows down when you do something new Is that you I always thought I knew Is that you I always thought I knew Stone the crows and catch the fox We've just found your wee black box You don't know you stopped the clocks All the secrets you thought were locked We're so sorry we just found your wee black box Stone the crows and catch the fox We've just found your wee black box You don't know you stopped the clocks Time slows down when you do something new We've just found all that was hidden of you Time slows down when you do something new Is that you I always thought I knew Exploration; it's the key to everything You don't need it all now Don't believe those cynical bastards yeah A person reduced to data A funeral broadcast from a server in California Time slows down when you do something new (Time slows down when you do something new - repeat) We've just found all that was hidden of you Time slows down when you do something new Is that you I always thought I knew

about

New Olympians Glasgow, UK

"Electrifying and powerfully gripping" Nessi Holt (Radio KC)

New Olympians are a band of explorers; always evolving, learning, pursuing their muse regardless of audience expectations or genre. They sound like a blend of The Who’s blues-rock with Beck’s eclectic indie. Michael's standout vocals have been likened to Roger Daltry’s sincere tone and Jamie Woon’s rhythmic soulful style. ... more
