LIFE IS A THING AGAIN
All is as it should be
Sketches in a cave
You know how at night I can’t behave
You’re done analysing
I’m done being right
Sometimes all we need is something tight
We won’t even catch up
You won’t even care
You know what I’d love to see you wear
Will I let you haunt me
Or will I out of pain
Let every single bit go down the drain
It’s not as if I missed your love
Not as if I had ever needed some
All is as it should be
What more could we get
When a simple hug can make us sweat
You won’t ever show up
I won’t even care
You know that I hate to hear you swear
It’s not as if I missed your love
Not as if I had ever needed some
Life is a thing again
What else is new
Life is a thing to you again
What else is new

A Million To Go

A MILLION TO GO
Was it the sound of your voice
Or only Dark Energy
I did believe that I had no choice
Until you sold it to me
It’s not meditation
That keeps me from causing you pain
It’s the type of affection
I feel as you mess with my brain
And I would love to refrain
From sabotaging the test
And I don’t think you got what it takes
To have me fly the nest
It’s been long, it’s been so long
There’s something I want you to know
We’ve been wrong, we’ve been so wrong
One down, a million to go
It’s been long, it’s been so long
We’ve been wrong, we’ve been so wrong

HIGH LOW
Right
I may come, I may go
I like highs and I like lows
No one seems too sure
Why they lie about the right and wrong
I’m surprised you love the way we’re taught to
And lose as much as we had found
How did it feel, I should have told you
How far I reached beyond the bounds
And it seems like I turned on the wrong side
When you enter my dream all smiles
Mind
I may come, you may too
We like old and we like new
No one’s keen to show
What they hide about the highs and lows
Altered
Make the high low
Altered
High low

La Même Nuit

LA MEME NUIT
C’est la même nuit, c’est le même monde
Et l’aube à venir, je l’entends qui gronde
Tu restes là, tu restes là-haut
C’est la même nuit, c’est le même monde
C’est le même effet, c’est la même cause
J’essaie de compter, au-delà des choses
Mais je reste là, je reste sans voix
C’est le même effet, c’est la même cause
C’est comme ça que je rêve encore
Nada mas que el amor
C’est comme ça que je rêve encore
Nada mas que el amor
C’est la même nuit, c’est le même monde
Et l’aube à venir, je l’entends qui gronde
Tu restes là, tu restes là-haut
C’est la même nuit, c’est le même monde

HINDSIGHT
You didn’t tell me
It was all fake
Somebody would free
You from the stake
This is the one
You chose to save
Oh, this is the one
I wish you gave
I never found love
I didn’t care
It seems in hindsight
I wasn’t there
You wouldn’t hurt me
For what it means
Somebody took me
Behind the scenes
I never found love
I didn’t care
It seems in hindsight
I wasn’t there
I never found love
I didn’t care
Still when you found some
It felt unfair

CHINESE ROOM
I can’t provide
A clearer line
Fifth time around
Still makes no sound
A darker scheme
A black hole fiend
I thought you knew the flip side
Wouldn’t be mine
This isn’t what I came here for
I wonder why you turned up with something more
You cracked the case, I didn't drool
I’ve been sending all my love from a Chinese room
Pies in the sky
Payment in kind
I thought you knew the bright side
Wasn’t in sight
This isn’t what I came here for
I wonder why you turned up with something more
You cracked the case, I never drooled
I’ve been sending all my love from a Chinese room
What got me here
Won’t get you near
Won’t get me there
I didn’t lie
I didn’t drool
I didn’t run

Escalation

ESCALATION
I chased love I guess in another place before
Something evil bites my face but I’m not sore
Propel a new fly in the ointment
Accept a lasting re-arrangement
You wore black and I hoped that it wasn’t all my fault
I hear low drones, lovers drown
Hooting owls and looming wars
I’ve seen what others share for a lean affair and an axe to grind
We’ve been on tenterhooks but I can’t just really care
Oh you could save them all but you’ll only see the fall
In the end they’ll be calling you down for being unknown
It takes an escalation once again
It makes me feel the longing all the same
Swank until it’s finally more than snow
You’ve been long gone and even all you’ve done is getting out of sight
And if we feel the longing once again
Escalation all the same
I guess it doesn’t mean you’ll never come around
Was it all, was it all about you ?
Was it all, was it all about you ?

MOON FALL
It’s not as if you caved in
No, I just can’t deny it
I’m not too keen on trading
A wound that won’t be healing
You say the moon keeps falling
I wonder how it’s soothing
And what’s that weird stain on your dress
We’re not about to come through
Keep your wits about you
I have to say I’m quite impressed
It’s always going higher
It’s not as if you meant it
No, I just won’t deny it
I know the moon keeps falling
And you, you’ve just been stalling
I have to say I miss that dress
It’s always going higher
It’s always going higher

RISE ABOVE
We won’t have time to kiss again before this world is dust
It won’t be long til I mistake some ghost for you
It’s not that I won’t try but there is too much to adjust
And far too little left to cling to
It turns, it turns the same way
Rise, rise above
It burns, burns the same way
Rise, rise above
I cannot say the slips I had were few and far between
I’d miss the point if I only missed the best of you
What with a taste for owls and all the things that can’t be seen
No wonder something dark has come through
It turns, it turns the same way
Rise, rise above
It burns, burns the same way
Rise, rise above

HOT DUST
You want to spend the day
On the shore on that dead lake
And I like it
Yes I like it
There’s isn’t much to save
I can barely hear you say
That you’d love to show me how you catch your prey
We might be missing out
On a way to end the drought
But I doubt it
Yes I doubt it
I didn’t mean to cry
It’s just the hot dust in my eye
Oh let’s make a fortune selling gas masks here

The reason I chose The Arch House is that it got my hooked immediately. I had to listen to the rest of the album . Fantastic follow-up to the excellent Living Ghosts. A must for a fan of not just synth based music but of music. Great production, sound and a well balanced album. Coming from Sheffield I wouldn't expect anything less as it is the home to the fabulous Human League and even better Heaven 17 from the BEF days.
