Ctrl Z 03:25
All the things you’ve done that you can’t undo? Control Z I’m getting out of here, what’s it to you? Control Z So you think what’s said can’t be unsaid? Control Z It’s like we said, if you don’t like it Control Z Backspace – delete – control X or C Copy it you from you – paste it to me Don’t like the feeling when it lands in your head? Control Z Here come my past loves one by one In reverse order gone by gone Stop right here this is the one Don’t hit that button, now I’m undone Now I’m undone, now I’m undone Now I’m undone, now I’m undone Now I’m undone, now I’m undone Now I’m undone, now I’m undone She was so kind and understanding I was the Mixed-Up Kid And I ran back to the mess I knew And I can’t undo what I did If I could only make it up to you If I could only make it up to you If I could do it all again Control Z Control Z Control Z Now I’m undone, now I’m undone Now I’m undone ….

Past Lives 05:18
She said she was a princess in another life Sounds like wishful thinking to me But then she told a story - yeh, quite a story - and I admit it’s shaken me From my certainty that there aren’t any other past lives There’s just this one and surely one is enough? So we took her to a hypnotist and he swung the watch Her eyes grew heavy and then it wouldn’t stop Right up to where it ended then started again It was that that frightened me - that frightened me! Not the dying and floating but the kicking and screaming into life Into another past life So then I went under to see about me Did I used to be weaver? Did I ever go to sea? But all that I remembered was that I used to climb trees In a past life And we went on a train You, me and all the family, in a past life To the seaside, I remember for a day out I remember, in a past life Crying and laughing, alive and kicking In a life, in another past life When you were here When we were there Where are we now? Which life is this? We were on a coach We were on a train We were on a flatbed on the motorway to Wales I was running back and got a handful of raisins Raisins? Who wants raisins? No dying, no floating, no kicking, no screaming Just a past life, another past life One of many past lives When you were here When we were there Where are we now? Which life is this? Is this a past life? Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock Wake up old son

Home Left Me 03:45
No I didn’t leave, no I didn’t go Everything vanishes from around me All that I love all that I know Like a joke in bad, bad film Home left me Home left me It only takes one brick to crumble And all I know is undermined And then the whole thing starts to tumble And I can’t see it - hope is blind Some come in, some head out I think I’m safe it all works out But when I look its different now It isn’t home, it isn’t whole, it isn’t Home left me Home left me Where are you going to be going to? Where are you going to be going to? Where are you going to be going to? Where are you going to be going to? Open the door

No Regrets 04:02
One thing leads to another Some things I would change But each misstep is still a step On the road to where we are now Mistakes we make aplenty Memory may cause us pain But each misstep is still a step On the road to where we are now So no regrets - we’re not done yet And look at it, it’s beautiful And made from our mistakes Each step that we thought we’d regret Each leap into the dark unknown Was a point on a line you can follow To here So no regrets - we’re not done yet And look at it, it’s beautiful and made from our mistakes No regrets No regrets

First there was nothing and then there was more And then there was so much it burst out of the door It was screaming from the rafters and you couldn’t ignore It’s potential So we did a bit of this and we added some of that And we put a few swirls in to make it fat And one or two experiments that fell a bit flat So we turned it over to you The Wonders of Undo So out go the elephants, out comes the whine Out go the crickets, we leave them all behind Try and get the bumpy bits to feel more like a line So we’re handing it over to you The Wonders of Undo And now it sounds cavernous, and you can’t close the door Proof if you needed it that less is more But maybe we could put a little sheen on the floor So we’re handing it over to you The Wonders of Undo

about

The Wonders of Undo Manchester, UK

Chris and Phil Lukes have been collaborating on and off for over 16 years, initially to explore ideas around simply learning how to record and produce music using the computer. These experiments grew into The Wonders of Undo; harnessing found sounds and loops, making a fair few noises of their own and honing their ideas into (so far) a catalogue of three completed projects. ... more
