Find the needle's eye Swim to the other side What is chance And where is the point of believing? Get it back in black Break your crippled back Pay off your house Your taxes and your dreaming Round and round we go The circus and the show Never really knowing what it means - Chorus - And I want to see For a million miles And I want to live to be free And where is the point you believe? Open-up your house Find a lonely spouse Fill in the gaps Perpetuate the kingdom Paint the kitchen green Face your recurring dream Pick-up the scraps And make them into something Round and round we sail Like Jonah and the Whale Washed-up on the beach when we fail

Shine 04:17
It’s not the same But it kind of is Will we change Through all of this? A pattern is repeating It’s the same old stuff they’re speaking It’s a silent stress No you can’t forget It’s much the same As déjà vu Will it change What we do? This all seems too familiar And their bullet’s painted silver Shooting up a mess An existential threat - Chorus - Faded by the light now Just no time to go back now Got to move it all along Shine until it’s gone Can’t you see How this could be What you do to me When you shine A pattern is repeating It’s the same old stuff they’re tweeting It’s more or less A failed test

Later in the night There is no epitaph or light It’s an overflow To the great unknown Now I’ve been here quite a while And all these tensions grow inside This autonomic fear It could last for years So here I am A thousand miles from you Mirrored in our minds With everything we do In synchronicity With all sincerity Get me out of here Get me out of here - Chorus - I’m looking for a way Get back to what we do I want to walk my dog I want to hold you too I'm caught up in this place Entangled in regret I want to go home But it's not over yet Playing on my mind Every truth and every lie I go down every road It’s an overload Like a kite into a storm I have no power to perform Can I change it all? Can I close the door? And it seems to me That we can’t let go Of our memories And our former ghosts When all I want to do Is reconnect with you So get me out of here Get me out of here

How many miles away Does it take to ignore What’s in your domain? It’s not about you You're not the one When your world seems small You know it's Saturn's sun Are you feeling controlled Don't know what to believe Do you get brushed off Are you that naive, again? How many times today Can you turn your head And walk away? It’s not about you You're not the one When your world seems small You know it's Saturn's sun Will they let you speak Are you locked in a box With your job on the line And your head on the block, again? Oh, it's a long time running With the light in your eyes You'll never see it coming But the look on your face And the sweat on your skin The fear in your voice The battle within How I try to explain The eye of the storm Is heading your way It’s not about you You're not the one When your world seems small You know it's Saturn's sun Will you self-destruct Can you disappear Are you a blip on the screen Are you feeling the fear, again? Oh, it's a long time running By the look on your face You never saw it coming

Algorithm 04:07
- Chorus - What do you do When your algorithm Doesn’t love you anymore? It preys every night on your misery Your dynamic feed is just a mystery It thinks it understands what you want see And it all keeps coming back to "me" It knows just what to think when you’re in doubt And when your social proof is going south It tells you what your friends are all about And it all keeps coming back to "me, me, me" It has no appetite to be unique More the same just a little tweak A map of your life for the coming weeks There’s nothing more you could ever need

"I believe that art is the only form of activity in which man, as man, shows himself to be a true individual, and is capable of going beyond the animal state." - Marcel Duchamp, 1956 I reached the destination From a wormhole in my mind It’s 1912, Paris yells: “A man is changing time” It’s all lines and planes and movement And a head without a face - Chorus - It’s like a... Nude descending staircase Talking da, da, da; da, da, da; What’s this strange illusion Is it art, art, art; art, art, art? Is this the future, I can see? I left the salon thinking What is it that I’ve seen? The avant-garde is reeling It’s not quite what it seems It’s all lines and planes and movement And a head without a face Is this the future, I can see? It scares the living daylights out of little me "Art is an outlet towards regions, which are not ruled by time and space. To live is to believe." - Marcel Duchamp, 1956 It’s all new, new, new It’s all "me, me, me" Now it’s much the same today And it’s all we want to see

It’s a running fight It's a complicated world With a fading light Your predilection will unfurl Ah, you know what’s right But you never make a sound Then your day is night And you’re floating out of town - Chorus - Nostalgia, through and through You can’t think of anything else Nostalgia, shining through Always reflecting yourself Like an 80s flick It’s a little silly now But on the face of it It charms us all somehow These times are dark In a stark reality And looking back There was so much possibility It’s a wistful past That feels like nostalgia And you’re home at last But nothing‘s the same, I’m afraid Nostalgia, more and more Shying from anything new Nostalgia, rise and fall The present is waiting for you

Darling We’ve travelled so far today And you know that We’re here to stay For a week of so We’ll be in Tokyo In crowded trains And electric rain I’m not afraid of… The neon lights And the endless nights I feel like You know what I’m going to say And the words keep Falling away We’re not alone Here in Tokyo In a human sea Of make believe I’m not afraid of… The neon lights And the endless nights This is where we’ve been And for all we’ve seen The neon signs And electric skies I’m not afraid Of a god who dies Or a fish that flies We’re changing lines And we’re stealing time We’re not afraid of… The neon lights And the endless nights

I don’t know what it is But I know what it’s not I can’t say how I feel ‘cause the feeling just stopped But I know what it’s like To be here by your side I don’t know how to face The start of the day I can’t get out of bed, now Till it’s all gone away But I know what it’s like To feel hollow inside - Chorus - It’s no fun With all your best years gone Struggling to find some time It’s on your mind… I don’t know what it is? I don’t know what it is To be loud and be heard I can’t say how it feels, now ‘cause the feeling’s absurd But I know what it’s like To be lost in the light I don’t know how to change Or where I go wrong I can’t seem to explain In the words of a song But I know what it’s like To be here by your side Yes, I know what it’s like To be here by your side

It’s more than a dream It’s not what it seems It could be worse You know that it hurts We fall into place We’re drifting through space All part of a scheme It’s more than we see You just can’t help but feeling down Trying to count the cost And your world, it may fall apart But nothing is ever lost Every chapter is always there With time in a single block And your life’s in a million scenes Nothing is ever lost It’s hard to ignore That time is a fraud You try to forget You’re a fish in the net You just can’t help but feeling down Trying to count the cost And you hope they will understand That nothing is ever lost Every beat in the universe Every building block Is transforming before my eyes Nothing is ever lost It’s all that we know It’s part of the show We look through the lens We try to make sense

about

Algorithm is a collection of ten songs spanning ten years of songwriting. It is the first in a series of albums drawing on my deep and ever-growing archive of material.

The album features six new and unreleased songs, as well as new mixes of recent Space March singles, and a completely new version of the past single – Saturn’s Sun, with “Again” appended to the title.

Algorithm is grounded in 80s-influenced Synthpop, but sometimes dips into Synthwave and Britpop. I cover topics like the influence of social media, fear of change, time, the nature of art and life, egocentricity, nostalgia, anxiety and failure – you know, the usual pop stuff!!
