Hot And Cold 00:17
I’m hot, I’m cold, I’m meek, I’m bold, I’m left, I’m right, And I’m loose, And I’m tight.
2.
Black God 05:18
If I told you God was black, If I told you it was true, Would you take a shot at me, Would your god be there for you? If I told you you were wrong, If I told you I was right, If I told you it was fake, Would you blanket bomb all night? If your God could see you now, Spreading your word around, Twisting ancient scriptures round, God he would send you down. If I said that you are blind, If I said that you don’t see, If I said that you were missing all the valuable points, Would you be deaf or would you hear me? If your God should send you down, For spreading your evil lies, (oh God, he’ll send you down). Would you say he let you down, Oh God, would you be surprised? If I told you God was black, If I told you it was true, If I told you God was black, Would it make a change to you? You, you, you.

Have you ever flown across the sky? Dreaming as the stars go by. Have you ever stepped upon the moon? Better hurry up, we’ll be leaving soon. Have you floated on a lack of air? Eyes shut wide in an orbital stare. Do you want to make it to the grave? Or do you want to visit the eternal rave? Yeah, we’re leaving tonight from mine. We’re going to give you the universal sign. Wear a comfortable pair of shoes, And whatever attire you think you’d like to choose. Have you ever felt the lack of cars, Mooching on the dust-drenched rock of Mars? And have you ever heard the angels sing On the death wall ride of the Jupiter rings? Have you toasted bread upon the Sun, Skipped on planets for your morning run? And have you waited for the stars to shine? Better get your coat, we depart from mine. Yeah, we’re leaving tonight at nine. We’re going to give you the universal sign. From the humblest shoots of man, To the galaxies far away where it all began. Have you ever flown across the sky? Have you ever flown across the sky?

She won’t ever let you down, She won’t ever let you down, Kick back and save yourself the trouble, And the worries all around you. She won’t ever let you go, She won’t ever let you go, The dogs are at your door, But she won’t ever let them take a bite of you. No. Take it easy now, Let her you take you down, Down, down, down. She won’t ever say goodbye, She won’t ever say goodbye, The monkey he’s a climbing up your back, But she won’t ever say goodbye. No. Let her take the blame, Take a real good aim, Down, down, down. Down, down, down. She will erase you, She’ll rearrange you, She is the danger, You’ll never see. She won’t ever let you down, She won’t ever let you down, She won’t ever let you down, She won’t ever let you down, Down, Down, Down. Yeah. I feel it man, I feel it man, I feel it man, I feel it man, (Repeat)

Continuum 5 03:10
Every now and then I think, That I could be upon the brink, Of making changes for the good, I’d be forever understood. Understood. Life is only dot to dotted, Coloured in with felt tipped pen, And painted with the artist’s eye, And pages tear and pages fly. You’ll find your canvas on the floor, A trail of paint leads to the door, In footprints of your sweat and tears, And wasted days, weeks, months and years. And time has left you crumpled up, And tossed into the paper cup of space. Of space.
6.
I’m sitting in my Spanish garden, I’m waiting for my seeds to grow, I’m sitting on a little money, I’m taking things a little slow, Don’t treat me like a baby, I’ll tell you then maybe, It wouldn’t be so, Don’t treat me like a kid, You know the way you did, Back home. I’m sleeping with the stars above me, I’m napping with the grass below, I’m burning up a little fire, I’m basking in the afterglow. Don’t treat me like a baby, I’ll tell you then maybe, It wouldn’t be so, So, turn your head around, And find a piece of ground and, Slow, slow down, Slow, slow down, Slow, slow down, Slow yourself down. Don’t treat me like a baby, I’ll tell you then maybe, It wouldn’t be so, Don’t treat me like a kid, You know the way you did, Back home. Back home. So, if you want to beg for pardon, I’ll meet you in my Spanish garden to roam, Free, To roam free. Yeah!
7.
The Sun 06:05
Sun, sun, sun, Is a miracle man, Yeah, we run, we run, we run, For the light. Sun, sun, sun, gives you everything man, Yeah, we run, we run, we run from the night. And when we get to the bottom of the riddle, That is human life, Still we’ll run, we’ll run, we’ll run, For the light. And when you’re stuck in the middle of a winter, And it’s cold as ice, You’ve got to stick to believing, That it’s gonna give you twice as nice. Sun, sun, sun, Is the everything man, Yeah, we run, we run, we run, From the night. And when you’re stuck in the middle of a winter, And it’s cold as ice, You’ve got to stick to believing, That it’s gonna give you twice as nice. Sun, sun, sun. (repeat).

The Wind 02:44
I’ve been running like, Like the wind, oh oh, And I’ve been running like, Like the wind. I’ve been running like the wind, I’ve been running like the wind. I’ve been chasing, Chasing dreams all night, I’ve been chasing, Chasing dreams. I’ve been chasing dreams all night, I’ve been chasing dreams all night, I got my woman in the family way, But I can’t stop still, Got to get away, From this. And I’ve got a pocket full of bills to pay, But I can’t get free, Gotta run away from this. No don’t sit around and wait, For me I’ll be gone now. No don’t sit around and wait, For me I’ll be gone. I’ll be gone now. I’ve been hiding for, For so long, oh, I’ve been hiding for so long. I’ve been hiding for so long, I’ve been hiding for so long. I’ve been running like the wind, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ve been running like the wind.
9.
The Rain 01:25
When the morning comes, I’ll brush away the crumbs, And you won’t ever need to know, The place that I’m forced to go, Where it rains. And, oh, how it rains. I like living a particular way, You wouldn’t know me, From the night to the day. And I drink tea and a delicacy, You wouldn’t know better, When you’re dreaming of me, And I get high in a curious way, The moonlight shines and, The flesh it lays. And I’ve been smiling in the grocery store, You ask me how I’ve been, But I want more. You don’t need to know, The places that I go, No, you won’t ever know, How it rains, And, oh, how it rains.
10.
Egg 01:10
Peace. It’s good for me, It’s good for you. I said peace. It’s good for me, It’s good for you, It’s what you do. It’s what you do. It’s what you do. It’s what you do.
11.
Fish that crawled from the sea, Died for you and for me. It’s the future for us, It’s the future for us. Exchanged the gill for the lung, Life is fragile and young. It’s the future for us, It’s the future for us. If only they could see, The future we would be. Oh! If only they could see, The future we would be, Oh! It’s the future for us, It’s the future for us, It’s the future for us, It’s the future for us,
12.
Here it comes, You’re coming down, And there won’t be a better time, To get your spirits down. And here it comes, You’re coming round, And there won’t be a better time. I’m never coming down again, I’m never coming down again. It’s true, Oh Lord, you know, It’s true, It’s true, I'm never coming down again. Here it comes, You’re coming down again, And there won’t be a better time, To get your spirits down. And here it comes, You’re coming round, And there won’t be a better time. There won’t be a better time, There won’t be a better time.

about

JOE CLAY (The Times) – “A winning blend of Meddle-era Pink Floyd, beguiling psych-folk and classic rock riffing. Mike Weston is an accomplished songwriter and musician who deserves a wider audience.”

‘Hot and Cold’ is the first all-new studio album from Adult Cinema since 2007 featuring twelve never before released recordings.

Crafted by Mike Weston in two studios he built in the garden of his current and former Southend homes over the last three years, this album contains the evolution of the Adult Cinema sound. As with previous albums, there are nods to the great bands of the 60’s and 70’s, but now Mike has added flavours from later eras and has further defined a unique sound for the band.

All new compositions and recordings include the future favorites, ‘Black God’, ‘Spanish Garden’ and ‘The Sun’. Mike also revisits the three-track epic with the triptych of ‘The Rain / Egg / The Future For Us’.

This brand new album is sure to please existing fans whilst appealing to those new to the band with a set that undoubtedly moves the Adult Cinema sound forward.
