I’d love your moon to stay I’d love your stars to death And on a cloudy night I’ll flap my arms so hard I’ll float to reach such height I’d love your stars to death I’m starting a new group A star-gazing fellowship We’ll bring our telescopes We’ll rename all the planets after you We'll choose names only we can spell the zodiac will have to go the belt of heaven fits you well I'll love your stars to death I’m starting a new group A star-gazing fellowship We’ll bring our telescopes We’ll rename all the planets after you May your nova never lose any light May my eyes never lose sight May your nova never lose any light May my eyes never lose sight We’ll bring our telescopes We’ll rename all the planets after you

We need some time to talk about it I know it’s bad you know it’s bad Cos we are hunched can’t talk about it It’s in our spines The hour is late - it’s too late for logic The hour is late -we’re well past panic We’ve caught it too late - our epidemic Our breathing burns the carpet’s bending Beneath our backs – there’s no going back And we are soul to soul with empty And we are dry The love that we make’s too full of our sorrow The love that we take is only ever borrowed We’ve called it too late our epidemic I don’t know what I’ll miss till all your heat has stopped Warming me up and then I will see if I turn cold The sky will still be when you leave me It will not fall - though I may fall Our major veins will keep on pumping Till they are dry And when we both wake it will be tomorrow The love that we made was only ever borrowed We’ve called it too late it’s academic

snails 04:15
There are snails on the step, so I have to be careful And the rats in the shed took the bait, so I have to be hopeful The sheet billows, Here comes the sun and I am glad cos in the winter sadness has won, sadness has won Biting till we bleed, bleeding with radios Daylight does it’s deed, melting our heavy snows Bind us in our need, bind us at the seams, Love us till our bones are airborne the sunbeams There are ants in the bin, they are creeping and crawling, At least the rats in the shed are dead Amongst the pillows skies are of blue And I am glad cos in the clearing I’m only for you, I’m only for you Biting till we bleed, bleeding with radios Daylight does it’s deed, melting our heavy snows Bind us in our need, bind us at the seams, Love us till our bones are airborne the sunbeams Do you ever build a den, like a little house and then, Let your little light shine on, cos time’ll eat ya good and gone Biting till we bleed, bleeding with radios Daylight does it’s deed, melting our heavy snows Bind us in our need, bind us at the seams, Love us till our bones are airborne the sunbeams

gulliver 03:55
Send out the helicopters And see if you can see the bit of me that he threw overboard Said he’d thrown it out but I have looked everywhere, And I like the way it sounds when you send out the helicopters I need a strong one now, You need to grow on me Gulliver’s getting big inside my head Liliput’s laying low inside your bed

eiderdown 04:27
He was the one that got away Did not go home till very late He clicked his heels in time with everyone's tune Imagine eiderdown and pearl Fleet footed charms bewitching each and every lovely girl His animal knew how to love His raillery second to none He made you feel like you were all he could see And in the land of mirrored glass He echoes on inside the feet of every lad and lass Oh but the mirror balls are stalled and all the halls have fallen down, down, down The limbs that moved like they were wings are crippling and dangling down, down, down Whisper a lie to bring a smile A soft deceit, gentle beguile Like lemonade is magic water and such ? Oh rage against the dying light The one that burns in you like you are still a bird in flight Oh but the mirror balls are stalled and all the halls have fallen down, down, down The wings that moved like they were wings are crippling and dangling down, down, down Oh but the mirror balls are stalled and all the halls have fallen down, down, down The limbs that moved like they were wings are crippling and dangling down, down, down

ancestors 04:47
I break bread without you, I am without cause. All the spring my middle eye and me, We sit and see through walls. And I’m sure our Ancestors didn’t get it together just to Spawn are love lorn and drifting endeavours gonn’a, Find some reasons behind these darn rhymes, Do some just to my bloodline. I lose faith without you, I am with-out name. All the while my sense of self and me We turn black in flame. And I’m sure our fore-fathers didn’t cast their shadow just to Lose our way and belief in the quid pro quo, and Swimming hard in a sea of mediocrity, Gainst a ruling fat cat majority. I break bread without you, I am with-out cause. All the spring my middle eye and me, We sit and see through walls.

restaurant 02:44
And I’m driving in my car and I know that I can’t go very far ‘cos the dash says so, I’m low. Well I coulda told you that, I coulda shown you, that but if I opened up I might swallow you whole. There’s a restaurant I really want to go and I will sit and order so many dishes I couldn’t possibly eat them all. I’ve been a parasitic kleptomaniac when I’ve lacked but I’ve always kept my head above the brim: the meniscus. And I wanna go where nobody knows me. To feel the liberty of sweet anonymity. And my dress size shrinking down as my hunger’s up and the puddles seep onto my feet, they get cold. Well I coulda been a star, I coulda gone so far, but if I opened up they might swallow me whole. There’s a woman who I really hope to know, and I will sit and ask her so many questions she couldn’t possibly know them all. I’ve been a Clytemnestric femme fatale, behind my suitor’s backs I kept my heart beneath the brim, the meniscus. And I wanna go where nobody knows me. To feel the liberty of sweet anonymity. I wanna go where nobody knows me…

go for blood 03:08
I go for blood, I go for broke, I think that I’ve seen everything I mythologise my own demise and I forget to pray I do this ‘cos I’m hurting and it’s easier than healing Or at least the thought of healing, which hurts along the way It hurts along the way Way Policemen come and go and all they every want to know are the barest bone, the barest bones Well I told them all I could, I would've liked to have done more good It matters how you fall, It matters how you fall Fall Fall Fall The preacher's say confess and when we do make sure we're dressed in our Sunday best, he'll do the rest Well I tried to wear that gown but it itches and I know deep down it rarely fits at all, It barely fits at all It matters how you fall Some deride the darkening Thinking that they'll never sink so low But anyone, anyone, anyone can Fall Fall Fall Fall I go for blood I go for broke, I think that I've seen everything

Come on then stars, come on then stars. Several severed old connections, are never getting fixed, They’re never getting fixed. Several sleeping old conniptions are never getting fits, they’re never getting fits. Come on the stars you showey little suckers, perforate the dark I dare you. And then I wonder why, it is I lay down dry. I am a pendulum of mood. And then I wonder why, it is I lay down dry. I am a pendulum of mood. Come on the stars you showey little suckers, perforate the dark I dare you. And then I wonder why, it is we have to die I am a pendulum of mood And then I wonder why, it is we have to die I am a pendulum of mood Come on the love, and bring me all your aching, permeate the dark I dare you. Come on the stars you showey little suckers, perforate the dark I dare you.

You are seventeen minutes late, I fall down with the worry waves. I cannot reconcile the fear, that one day I won’t have you here. Bring her back, bring her home, bring her safe and bring her close to me. Otherwise my heart will stop, and no one will come close you see. Bring her back, bring her home, bring her safe and bring her close to me. Otherwise the world will stop, and everything will cease to be. I’m on my knees making deals with God, and my bellies in tangled knots. And the panic will not be still, worry waves thunder on until you, Bring her back, bring her home, bring her safe and bring her close to me. Otherwise my heart will stop, and no one will come close you see. Bring her back, bring her home, bring her safe and bring her close to me. Otherwise the world will stop, and everything will cease to be. You are twenty one minutes late.

Biting flies come massacre me Sentimental though that might be We're done here, gone nowhere I'm out We're hiking high far above the sea Botanically, you and me, Fighting fires using our cold comedy Temporary as that might be We're done here, gone nowhere I'm out She'll say I've no gumption but I'm out We did our very best We climbed as high as we could I wore my summer dress You wore you favourite shoes If you're going to put a bomb under everything, girl you'd better be sure you're sure And in the sadness of everything movement is the cure Lure me back, lure me back, lure me back lure me back (We're done here, gone nowhere) I'm out She'll say I've no gumption but I'm out We did our very best We climbed as high as we could I wore my summer dress You wore you favourite shoes

isobel 03:46
Baby Isobel, grown inside a shell. Made of loving angel bites, gums of beauty bright. In their proud eyes dear girl, you are a shining pearl. Tiny backbone in his hands, toes like grains of sand. Baby Isobel, grounds for hearts to swell. Boys will brighten at your side, won’t walk from you but glide. In her grown bones dear child, the earth was harsh and wild. Since you smiled and grabbed her hair, the earth has been repaired.

about

"Sharks Took The Rest are a many splendored melodic thing and this is a sweetly delicate pop record with a bruised but mighty heart."

The Quietus


Welcome to our debut LP. We sat in scruffy rooms together to write whatever songs came out of us on any given day, one after the other. Then we had a tidy. We played the songs out loud in public and people clapped and danced and sang. This made us glad. Then we went to a slightly less scruffy room and pressed ‘record’. And now? Well, now it’s here and we hope that you like it and find your own heart beat in some of it. If you do, please pass it on. To all the people who have helped to make this record we can’t thank you enough.

Love, Sharks Took The Rest x
