Pulse 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Hands off head on Your offers gone Tame your apathy Barriers can’t be shrunk Hold off telling us that we’re wrong Hold on Moderate your heart beat Temperate your nerves Topping up the fuel Before a mile becomes too long Listen with intent Where unity is gold Poetry unites us put it into words Sunlight floods my room From many different angles We conclude our thoughts From different walks of life Taping up the box To suffocate the inside Our present is descendent from our past Drawing circles round your life Until there’s no where left to turn Watch from the window A perforated view from your telescope Feed the scraps of what is left to the birds

Sandbanks 03:20
lyrics

Sandbanks I forgot to stamp your postcard Missed you off my will Built our castle on a sand bank I’ve mixed up our pills Mistook the salt for sugar Race with two left feet Keys locked on the dashboard The glue’s already hard Weighed down Pocket full of lead when we were dancing Days coming to an end Coming to an end lets talk about it I sow seeds to Soften words I speak Pawned my raincoat Nothing fixed the leak I missed your birthday Shot the double rum Overflowed the bathtub Burnt it in the sun Mistook your cry for laughter I threw away your ring Set fire to the postbox I’ve given everything

Understand Each Other 03:04
lyrics

We can’t Understand each other We can’t Understand each other We sow our connections with language Skipping stitches, blanking knots Insert, seep And wipe away the fuss It turns into scars We sow our connections with language Skipping stitches, blanking knots Insert, seep And wipe away the fuss It turns into scars We can’t Understand each other We can’t Understand each other

Treat Us Like You Should 03:56
lyrics

We wasted money Making paper aeroplanes Landed in the river We’re flying nowhere so walk away from this Its all spent I can’t see redemption at the end Put it off until late afternoon When we’ve lost our breath Its’s done When the last hour has gone Holding on for too long Just put a smile on Treat us like you should We wasted time Plucking petals from a flower Lost it in the breeze We’re going nowhere, until we cleanse our my minds of this Its all spent I can see the diamond on your ring Sick to my core Indulgent thoughts of what you could have had Its’s done When the last hour has gone Holding on for too long Just put a smile on Washed up in spring tide Cars come from the right Crossing with closed eyes Fun, crushing fruit flies Brush shoulders with a neighbour Pretend you didn’t see her Bin it when the leaves drop Car ride to the corner-shop Our lives are in your hands So rest assured I’m yours Your plasticine figurines, Ranked and endorsed Tugging at your sleeve You cut the parachute A spike in our morphine No time back in lieu So treat us as you should

Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place Sleep at night Call me telltale, infiltrate your home Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place Sleep at night Preach sweet heaven Preach sweet heaven Preach sweet heaven Promise you the world Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe Sleep at night

Solitary Life 03:48
lyrics

One and all Heaven knows I’m done But I can’t turn my back on you all Its gone on for far too long We feel our best, when we’re left alone Every time I breathe you squeeze my chest If I try to clean I just make a mess Solitary life Outside of the species that you’re like Tame steps Scouting supple earth Long time to be standing by your word Tease my resilience And I’m dissolving just for fun And I withdraw on my own terms Until I’m bored enough to grow Every time I breathe you squeeze my chest If I try to clean I just make a mess If I shared my life would you want to know I helped you pack your bags and I watched you go Solitary life Outside of the species that you’re like Tame steps Scouting supple earth Long time to be standing by your word

We Don't Talk 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Sold for less Than what it’s worth to you Rise and hold form The best is yet to come I feel like it I feel like it I feel like it Keeping your wings dry Keys on standby Masquerade and underplayed, we’re stuck If we don’t even talk, how can it work One chance to get ahead of the back foot I trickle slow and thin we’re gasping Walking on a knife’s edge Tripping on a back foot Don’t hold on I’m settling my half Don’t hold on I’ve taken it to heart Keeping your wings dry Keys on standby Masquerade and underplayed, we’re stuck If we don’t even talk, how can it work

Solidarity Make your luck Chant hypocrisy Cough up After all is said and done After all is said and done Layman’s words you use to cut us Don’t let Lehman Brothers shape us Don’t think you’ll stop me After all is said and done After all is said and done Layman’s words you use to cut us Don’t let Lehman Brothers shape us Solidarity Make your luck Don’t think you’ll stop me Chant hypocrisy Cough up Don’t think you’ll stop me child After all is said and done Don’t think you’ll stop me After all is said and done Don’t think you’ll stop me child

Back Home 03:28
lyrics

Try next door I’m eager that I find something more inside me Step into the warmth Your frozen from the last time you tried to make it work You’re fighting on your own I can’t tell them apart, Promise, hand on heart I would take it back I didn’t know its worth Retrace my tracks Way back home Find your seat We’re tired of hearing the same old lies loop on repeat Step out of the storm I’m here for you, wishing that you’d let me in Don’t fight this on your own I can’t tell them apart, Promise, hand on heart I would take it back I didn’t know its worth Retrace my tracks Way back home

Magpie Took Our Name 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Sugar Rush and boredom on a backseat Making ballet plimsoles out of tape Trouble making carnage on a rampage Subtle as a cloud strong as a wave You told how to stand and tuck my shirt in Three peas in a pod we shared a name No room left on my shelf though its empty It was not a place that I could stay Somehow we all live in different cities This escalators going the wrong way We can’t even find time for a phone call A Magpie broke our pod and ate our name

about

Pete Buffery’s debut album ‘We Dont Talk’ is an esoteric delight, a shape shifting tapestry of melody and melancholy, constantly reinventing itself against a back drop of syncopated, bordering on industrial, beats. With each track comes the promise of another surprise, a fresh idea that grows from the last, becoming almost cinematic in scope, guiding us through a series of haunting, lyrical landscapes and emotional dystopias.
