--Lyrics-- Breaking down Your day is getting longer There's a yellow glass dragon who's chasing you around Sit your head on a silver jet stream While the smoke is rising over your thoughts and dreams Watch over You watch them fall down Your nuts and bolts are all over the ground You get out You get out You get out You get out Something's leaking It leaks from your eyes while it steals by surprise Stop wasting your words from running out As you're running out of thoughts as your burn is burning out Watch it as it flows through your hands And whispers close as it whispers away Get out Get out Get out You get out

--Lyrics-- I'm not gonna lie I'm not a nice, nice guy Bbut I tried and I tried but I don't know why When i put my head down sleeping I got this tiny little feeling creeping in the night I'm not gonna say There ain't no grey, grey days But it's cloudy in the best of times Getting tired of wasting worries Why not let the worries worry for themselves for a change Here's some fighting words for the sleeping I hear the bells are ringing in the night I know that you can hear them knocking Banging at your doors Why don't you want to answer anymore? Because I don't want to let you down So good morning Oh, good morning Good afternoon Day by day Watched you wandering through the streets Smiling through the window shield How you doing today? Are you sitting in the mad man's hands again? I want you to know You ain't alone I know I saw something sinking in the back of your eyes I hope it wasn't hope that was hoping Hoping for the very last time Hard to be optimistic Realistic at the very same time Why can't we meet in the middle sometimes? I know that I heard you screaming You were screaming in the night And I know the water is rising past your knees I'm not going to lie And it's so damn easy tonight Aren't you getting tired of wrapping the sugar around your ears? ‘Cause all the flashy people Putting the candy in their eyes And all I want to do Is lay there next to you Instead of staring at the black mirror all night long The only remedy is don't panic here, my dear And the only thing I'll tell you You ain't alone here anymore You ain't alone Day by day As you're wandering through the streets Smiling like it isn't real How you doing today? Are you sitting in the mad man's hands again? What you doing In the mad man's hands In the mad man's hands Today No, I don't want to let you down No, I don't want to let you down No, I don't want to let you down

Bollywood 06:18
--Lyrics-- Walk across and talk to me ‘Cause it's late And it's midnight Know I need you now Just a little sound to keep me going It could be easy Oh, it could be easy Walk across and talk to me Little whispers Just a little sound Say what you're thinking Tell me where you're going ‘Cause I need you now Well, it could be easy It could be easy But we keep on trying so hard But I don't even We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything But all I want to hear is you Walk across and talk to me Just a little whisper in my ear Tell me what you're thinking Thinking about It could be easy It could be easy We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you What you saying What you doing Keep on talking Louder and louder What you saying Keep on talking Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder It could be easy

Hearts 04:52
--Lyrics-- Hearts Watch them falling Watch them shatter Together ‘Cause they Can't see Where they're going They’re just following Under the weather They follow each other Run, run, run Run faster Than the breaker You can hide Kkeep on hiding ‘Cause when it finds you It's gonna hurt out loud Under the weather They'll hurt each other Spinning together Scream Scream louder So loud Till you can't hear each other Over reasons Over the pleasure Keep on screaming Until you can't remember Under the weather They'll keep on screaming Spinning together Keep on screaming till the love gives up the dark It's a double homicide but you know it was breaking at the start And you talk with knives till you tear your hearts apart Keep breaking and breaking and breaking Just to get back to the start And now Now that it's over What will we leave Behind for each other? Those crazy hearts They'll never learn You keep turning and turning till you can't find another Those crazy hearts They'll never learn But they tried and tried just to find themselves back at the start Those crazy hearts They'll never learn You keep turning and turning just to find another one Those crazy hearts They'll never learn You keep turning and turning just to find another one You keep turning and turning just to find another one You keep turning and turning till you can't find another one What will we leave behind?

Grace 04:43
--Lyrics-- She's bored She picks up the paper There's a magazine cover of the women that hate her But she doesn't care They don't got what she's got She takes a street with a smile in her beat ‘Cause her high heels are taller than all of the other girls Taller than all of their empty stares Grace moves Moves with a graceful swing That you know your right and wrongs don't mean a thing She just swings her hips in the air Her confidence will kill you And when she pulls the trigger She's the only living proof that the world still cares ‘Cause she knows you're just a little scared Something about her grace And all the boys are down on their knees And they're begging her please Please, please, please She just smiles Says go back to your mother, boys The half of you hate her The rest of you love her But you try, but you try, but she don't need you She's got all the love that she ever needs Something about her grace Something about her smile that I need from her Something about her smile that I need from her Something about her smile that I need from her ‘Cause all my life, I saw her there Wandering through the city without a care Something about her grace that you want to take home today Something about her grace

In Circles 02:16
--Lyrics-- As long as I can turn in circles in your bare arms As long as I can turn in circles in your bare arms I don't really care As long as I can turn in circles in your bare arms Doesn't really matter As long as there's something between our arms
7.
--Lyrics-- Can't you hear? Get out of the goings on, my dear Walk into the floor, let me slide Shoot me with the sun Put together songs from going Take a crazy eyes A crazy eyes You got to get out of here Take us out of here Take out crazy eyes Does it sound? I think it's time Turn into the noise Leave our bodies Leave our bodies behind I think it's time To leave our bodies behind Turn into the noise Together we will be Turn into the noise Together we will be I think it's time Leave our bodies Turn into the noise Together we’ll be And turn into the light We will be Leave our bodies behind Won’t you be my love? Won’t you be mine? Together we will be We will be We will be the noise We will be the noise Together Together we will be the noise We will turn into the noise And leave these bodies behind

--Lyrics-- I know I'm forgetting something Something's forgetting me I know I'll lose my keys tomorrow These doors don't answer me Did anybody tell you? You don't live here anymore Don't feel at home in this world anymore The people in the picture frames I can't remember any names And when I walk down the street There's no one left to meet Did anybody tell you? You don't live here anymore Don't feel at home in this world anymore What's that you say? Just the other day Everything goes away What's that you hear? Spinning in your ear Everything goes away Help me to remember Help me to remember Ding dong, someone's at the door Who could it be? I hope a sweet old betty She's supposed to be here by four But there's a stranger at my door Did anybody tell you? You don't live here anymore Don't feel at home in this world anymore Don't feel at home in this world anymore Don't feel at home in this world anymore
9.
--Lyrics-- Is it such a bad thing That I just want to lay down for an hour? Is it such a crime That I don't want to think about you now? ‘Cause everything was getting cold outside I saw you standing there Remembered what I was doing here And I know that you know So damn hard Hard to let you go And I know that you know So damn hard Hard to let you go go go go go Tell me what you're wishing for How about a little honesty now? What would you say to the world If you only had one day? ‘Cause it was getting a little cold outside I saw you standing there Why don't you come inside for a while? ‘Cause I know that you know So damn hard Hard to let you go And I know that you know So damn hard Hard to let you go go go go go go go go Oh, is it such a bad thing That I don't want to change anything? You want me to take the weight Off your shoulders for an hour ‘Cause it was getting a little cold outside I saw you standing there Why don't you come inside for a while? And I know that you know So damn hard Hard to let you go And I know that you know So damn hard Hard to let you go And I know that you know So damn hard Hard to let you go go go go go go go go Go go go go go go go Go go go go go Hard to let you go go go go go go go Go go go go go So hard to let you go Hard to let you go It’s hard to let it go So hard to let you go

--Lyrics-- You gotta swim to the top of the water, boys Into the waves of the shimmering light She's gonna drag you to the shores But you don't know who you are Take, take your time for now You’re gonna take, take your time Welcome to the city with too many roads You're not gonna know where to go Just follow all the pretty lights Get lost till it feels right The places you will go It can be shiny, tiny, strange and windy But if you're doing it right It's gonna get a little lonely, but that's all right The only thing you need to fear Is shaking hands with the man in the mirror Blah blah, blah blah blah Big talkers are talking But you don't wanna hear 'Cause when it gets easy Don't be drowning in the dreamer's hands Don't be drowning in the dreamer's hands Get out, get out while you can Oh, the places you will go Oh, the places you will go The places you will go Sometimes you don't even wanna know The storm, she's breaking hard tonight Just put your head down on her shoulders 'Cause you know, ‘cause you know she's gonna pass Take your time and make this moment last Take your time, take your time, take your time tonight Take your time before it's over Doesn't really matter Where you are Oh, the places The places you will go Go from here Places

about

Love Songs For Robots is the highly anticipated fifth record from Patrick Watson. The music was recorded at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles and Studio Pierre Marchand in Montreal. Of the record, some of which was debuted at private concerts in small loft spaces, Watson explains, “I started thinking about things in a very mechanical way. I found it interesting how we would use our senses to come up with an emotional reaction. As you get older you get to know yourself better and I realized that a lot of my emotional reactions were mechanical responses and that was hugely influential. I didn’t want to be a robot. But the reason why we are superior to computers is that we have emotions and I realized that emotions are mechanical so the only thing left between us and robots is curiosity and inspiration – and I don’t think you can program that into a computer. That’s definitely where I was at when I started writing the record.”
