When you were here before
Couldnt look you in the eye
Youre just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
Youre so fuckin special
But Im a creep
Im a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here
I dont care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When Im not around
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special
But Im a creep
Im a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here
Oh, oh
Shes running out the door
Shes running out
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special
But Im a creep
Im a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here
I dont belong here |
Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge
Hes like a detuned radio
Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
This is what youll get
This is what youll get
This is what youll get
When you mess with us
Karma police, Ive given all I can
Its not enough, Ive given all I can
But were still on the payroll
This is what youll get
This is what youll get
This is what youll get
When you mess with us
For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself |
A heart thats full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that wont heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They dont, they dont speak for us
Ill take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please |
Please, could you stop the noise?
Im trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices
In my head
Whats that?
Whats that?
When I am king
You will be first against the wall
With your opinion
Which is of no consequence at all
Whats that?
Whats that?
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing, Gucci little piggy
You dont remember, you dont remember
Why dont you remember my name?
Off with his head, man, off with his head, man
Why dont you remember my name?
I guess he does
Rain down, rain down
Come on, rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down
Come on, rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Thats it, sir, youre leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah |
Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape
Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose
Breathe, keep breathing
Dont lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I cant do this alone
Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
Theres such a chill
Such a chill
And you can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke
That you choke
We hope that you choke
That you choke |
A green plastic watering can
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
In a fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I cant help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time |
Dreamers
They never learn
They never learn
Beyond the point
Of no return
Of no return
Then its too late
The damage is done
The damage is done
This goes
Beyond me
Beyond you
A white room
By a window
Where the sun comes
Through
We are
Just happy to serve
Just happy to serve
You

I’ll drown my beliefs
To have your babies
I’ll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
I’m not living
I’m just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave |
Im the next act
Waiting in the wings
Im an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days
That you choose to ignore
You are all I need
Youre all I need
Im in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds
Im a moth
Who just wants to share your light
Im just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others
You are all I need
Youre all I need
Im in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds
Its all wrong, its all wrong, its all wrong
Its all right, its all right, its all right
Its all wrong, its all right
Its all right, its all right |
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
Id be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge
Of the earth
And fall off
Yeah, everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this
Is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Yeah, I...
Ill hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
And I...
Ill hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape |
Stay in the shadows
Cheer at the gallows
This is a round-up
This is a low-flying panic attack
Sing the song on the jukebox that goes
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
We know where you live
Red crosses on wooden doors
If you float, you burn
Loose talk around tables
Abandon all reason
Avoid all eye contact
Do not react
Shoot the messengers
This is a low-flying panic attack
Sing the song of sixpence that goes
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
We know where you live
We know where you live |
That there, thats not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
Im not here
This isnt happening
Im not here
Im not here
In a little while
Ill be gone
The moments already passed
Yeah, its gone
And Im not here
This isnt happening
Im not here
Im not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
Im not here
This isnt happening
Im not here
Im not here |
Two jumps in a week, I bet you
Think thats pretty clever, dont you, boy
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
Youd kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror
Youre turning into something you are not
Dont leave me high
Dont leave me dry
Dont leave me high
Dont leave me dry
Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
Theyre the ones wholl hate you
When you think youve got the world all sussed out
Theyre the ones wholl spit at you
You will be the one screaming out
Dont leave me high
Dont leave me dry
Dont leave me high
Dont leave me dry
Oh, its the best thing that youve ever had
The best thing that youve ever, ever had
Its the best thing that youve ever had
The best thing youve had has gone away
So dont leave me high
Dont leave me dry
Dont leave me high
Dont leave me dry
Dont leave me high
Dont leave me high
Dont leave me dry |
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes its so, so disappointing
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Dont get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Let down again
Let down again
Let down again
You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around |
Dont get any big ideas
Theyre not gonna happen
You paint yourself white
And fill up with noise
But therell be something missing
Now that youve found it, its gone
Now that you feel it, you dont
Youve gone off the rails
So dont get any big ideas
Theyre not gonna happen
Youll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking |
Then into your life, there comes a darkness
Theres a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And theres nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But its the loudest sound youve ever heard
And all we trapped rag doll cloth people
We are helpless to resist
Into our darkest hour
But it was just a laugh, just a laugh
Just a laugh, just a laugh
Even at this angle
And so we crumble
A ten ton head, made of wet sand
Oh, this dread circumference
Youve gotta be kidding me
The grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, in the glass
It was just a laugh, just a laugh
Its whatever you say it is
In split infinity
Then into your life, there comes a darkness
And a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And theres nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But its the loudest sound youve ever heard
Into your darkest hour
When youve had enough of me
When youve had enough of me
Sweet darling
When youve had enough of me
When youve had enough of me
Sweet darling
Sweet times
Sweet darling
Sweet times |
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Everything

Right place
There are two colours in my head
There are two colours in my head
What, what is that you tried to say?
What, what was that you tried to say?
Tried to say, tried to say
Tried to say, tried to say
Everything
Everything
Everything

This dance, this dance
Is like a weapon, is like a weapon
Of self-defence, of self-defence
Against the present, against the present
The present tense
No, I wont get heavy, dont get heavy
Keep it light and keep it moving
I am doing no harm
As my world comes crashing down
Ill be dancing, freaking out
Deaf, dumb, and blind
In you, Im lost
In you, Im lost
I wont turn around or the penny drops
Wont stop now, wont slack off
Or all this love will be in vain
To stop from falling down a mine
Its no ones business but mine
Where all this love has been in vain
In you, Im lost
In you, Im lost
In you, Im lost
In you, Im lost |
Reckoner
Cant take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all hu–
All human beings
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
Reckoner
Take me with you
Dedicated to all hu–
All human beings |
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes wont let me in
And now I know its never gonna be, oh, me
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes wont let me in
And now I know its never gonna be, oh, me
A moon shaped pool
Dancing clothes wont let me in
And now I know its never gonna be, oh, me
The sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all
Sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love, that we all can love, that we all
But now I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want
When I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain

Broken hearts make it rain
Broken hearts make it rain
The pieces of a ragdoll mankind
That we can create, that we can create, that we can
Pieces of a ragdoll mankind
That we can create, that we can create
But when I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want
When I see you messing me around
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know |
Fitter, happier, more productive
Comfortable
Regular exercise at the gym
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease
Eating well
A patient, better driver
A safer car
Sleeping well
No paranoia
Careful to all animals
Keep in contact with old friends
Will frequently check credit at bank
Favours for favours
Fond but not in love
Charity standing orders
On Sundays ring road supermarket
Car wash
No longer afraid of the dark
Or midday shadows
Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
Nothing so childish
At a better pace
Slower and more calculated
No chance of escape
Now self-employed
Concerned
An empowered and informed member of society
Will not cry in public
Less chance of illness
Tires that grip in the wet
A good memory
Still cries at a good film
Still kisses with saliva
No longer empty and frantic
Like a cat
Tied to a stick
Thats driven into
Frozen winter shit
Calm
Fitter, healthier and more productive
A pig
In a cage
On antibiotics |
Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your bad day disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you had too much
Come back in focus again
The walls abandon shape
Theyve got a Cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before youre comatose
Before you run away from me
Before youre lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
I never really got there
I just pretended that I had
Words are blunt instruments
Words are sawn-off shotguns
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Before you run away from me
Before youre lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance
Jigsaw falling into place
So there is nothing to explain
You eye each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once, not just twice
Wish away the nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
Youve got the light you can feel it on your back
A light you can feel it on your back
Your jigsaw falling into place |
Whos in a bunker? Whos in a bunker?
Women and children first
And the children first, and the children
Ill laugh until my head comes off
Ill swallow until I burst
Until I burst, until I
Whos in a bunker? Whos in a bunker?
I have seen too much
I havent seen enough, you havent seen it
Ill laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first, and children
Here Im allowed
Everything all of the time
Here Im allowed
Everything all of the time
Ice Age coming, Ice Age coming
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both sides, let me hear both
Ice Age coming, Ice Age coming
Throw it in the fire
Throw it in the fire, throw it on the
Were not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
Were not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
Mobiles skwerking, mobiles chirping
Take the money and run
Take our money and run, take our money
Here Im allowed
Everything all of the time
Here Im allowed
Everything all of the time
Here Im allowed
Everything all of the time
Here Im allowed
Everything all of the time |
In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again
In the neon sign
Scrolling up and down
I am born again
In an interstellar burst
Im back to save the universe
In a deep, deep sleep
Of the innocent
I am born again
In a fast German car
Im amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe |
Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong
I think youre crazy, maybe
I think youre crazy, maybe
Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
Its not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies
I think youre crazy, maybe
I think youre crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life |
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things well one day swallow whole
And fade out again
And fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again
And fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds, scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things well one day swallow whole
And fade out again
And fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love |
When Im at the pearly gates
Thisll be on my videotape, my videotape
When Mephistopheles is just beneath
And hes reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red, blue, green, in red, blue, green
You are my center when I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape...
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I cant do it face to face
So Im talking to you before-
No matter what happens now
You shouldnt be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day Ive ever seen |
Were on, thats a nice way to start, Jonny
Are you such a dreamer
To put the world to rights?
Ill stay home forever
Where two and two always makes a five
Ill lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April showers
And two and two always makes a five
Its the devils way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because
You have not been
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
I try to sing along
But I get it all wrong
Cause Im not, cause Im not
I swat em like flies
But like flies, the bugs keep coming back
Not, but Im not
All hail to the thief
All hail to the thief
But Im not, but Im not
But Im not, but Im not
Dont question my authority or put me in a box
Cause Im not, cause Im not
Oh, go and tell the king
That the sky is falling in
But its not, but its not, but its not
Maybe not, maybe not |
You really messed up everything
You really messed up everything
If you could take it all back again
Strike up the tinderbox
Why should I be good if youre not?
This is a foul tasting medicine
A foul tasting medicine
To be trapped in your full stop
Truth will mess you up, truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up, truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up, truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up, truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
Truth will mess you up
When you take me back
Take me back again
Will you take me back
Take me back again
You really messed up
You really messed up
You really messed up
You really messed up this time
You really messed up
You really messed up
You really messed up
You really messed up this time
You really messed up
You really messed up
You really messed up
You really messed up this time |
I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
Weve got heads on sticks
And youve got ventriloquists
Weve got heads on sticks
And youve got ventriloquists
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
The rats and the children will follow me out of town
Rats and children follow me out of town
Come on, kids |
I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
Youll only see my reflection
Its always best with the covers up
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know were friends til we die
And either way you turn
Ill be there
Open up your skull
Ill be there
Climbing up the walls
Its always best when the light is off
Its always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
Ive got the smell of a local man
Whos got the loneliest feeling
That either way he turns
I will be there
Open up your skull
Ill be there
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls |
I dont wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Forget about your house of cards
And Ill do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And Ill do mine
And fall off the table
Get swept under
Denial, denial
The infrastructure will collapse
From voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband good night
And forget about your house of cards
And Ill do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And Ill do mine
Fall off the table
Get swept under
Denial, denial
Denial, denial
Denial, denial
Denial, denial |
Im on a roll
Im on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change
Kill me, Sarah
Kill me again with love
Its gonna be a glorious day
Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
Cause Im your superhero
We are standing on the edge
The head of state
Has called for me by name
But I dont have time for him
Its gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change
Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
Cause Im your superhero
We are standing on the edge
We are standing on the edge |
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt |
The breath of the morning I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you cant smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
Up above aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
Theyre all uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
I wish that theyd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when Im driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as Id love to see it
Id tell all my friends but theyd never believe me
Theyd think that Id finally lost it completely
Id show them the stars and the meaning of life
Theyd shut me away but Id be alright, alright
Mom, Im alright, alright
Im just uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight |
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Wont take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out, then you cut the string
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Wont take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string
You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did your string come undone?
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
Its as soft as your pillow
You used to be alright
What happened?
Et cetera, et cetera
Fads for whatever
Fifteen steps, then a sheer drop
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Wont take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out, then you cut the string |
It holds us like a phantom
It touches like a breeze
It shines its understanding
See the moon is smiling
Open on all channels
Ready to receive
Cause were not at the mercy
Of your chimeras and spells
Your chimeras and spells
Mmmhm
We are of the earth
To her we do return
The future is inside us
Its not somewhere else
Its not somewhere else
Its not somewhere else
One day at a time
We call upon the people
The people have this power
The numbers dont decide
The system is a lie
A river running dry
The wings of butterflies
And you may pour us away like soup
Like were pretty broken flowers
Well take back what is ours
Take back what is ours
One day at a time |
I wont run away no more
I promise
Even when I get bored
I promise
Even when you lock me out
I promise
I say my prayers every night
I promise
I know which side Im spread
I promise
The tantrums and the chitty chats
I promise
Even when the ship is wrecked
I promise
Tie me to the rotting deck
I promise
I wont run away no more
I promise
Even when I get bored
I promise
Even when the ship is wrecked
I promise
Tie me to the rotting deck
I promise
I wont run away no more
I promise |
Now as I go upon my way
So let me go upon my way
Born of a light, born of a light
The wind rushing round my open heart
An open ravine with my spirit wide
Totally alive and my spirit light
Through an open doorway
Across a street to another life
And catching my reflection in a window
Switching on a light, one I didn’t know
Totally alive, totally released
Waking, waking up from shutdown
From a thousand years of sleep
Yeah, you, you know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Standing on the edge of
You, you know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Different types of love
Different types of love
Different types of love
Are possible
Are possible
Are possible
Are possible |
Hey, its me, I just got off the train
A frightening place, the faces are concrete grey
And Im wondering, should I turn around?
Buy another ticket? The panic is coming on strong
So cold, from the inside out
No great drama, message coming in
In the oh-so-smug glassy eyed light of day
Glassy eyed light of day
Where the path trails off and heads down the mountain
Through the dry bush, I dont know where it leads
And I dont really care
Where the path trails off and heads down the mountain
Through the dry bush, I dont know where it leads
And I dont really care
I feel this love to the core
I feel this love turn cold |
I do not understand
What it is Ive done wrong
Full of holes, check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes, two for no
Ive no idea what I am talking about
Im trapped in this body and cant get out
You killed the sound, removed backbone
A pale imitation with the edges all sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves only with someones hand up your arse
Has the light gone out for you?
Because the lights gone out for me
It is the twenty-first century
It is the twenty-first century
It can follow you like a dog
It brought me to my knees
They got a skin and they put me in
They got a skin and they put me in
All the lines wrapped round my face
All the lines wrapped round my face
And for anyone else to see
And for anyone else to see
Im alive
Ive seen it coming
Theyve seen it coming
Theyve seen it coming
Theyve seen it coming |
In pitch dark
I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches
Trip me as I speak
Just cause you feel it
Doesnt mean its there
Just cause you feel it
Doesnt mean its there
Theres always a siren
Singing you to shipwreck
Steer away from these rocks
Wed be a walking disaster
Just cause you feel it
Doesnt mean its there
Just cause you feel it
Doesnt mean its there
There, there
Why so green and lonely?
Lonely, lonely
Heaven sent you to me
To me, to me
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen |
Faith, youre driving me away
You do it every day
You dont mean it, but it hurts like hell
My brain says Im receiving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support, my iron lung
Were too young to fall asleep
Too cynical to speak
We are losing it, cant you tell?
We scratch our eternal itch
Our twentieth century bitch
We are grateful for our iron lung
The headshrinkers, they want my everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want my everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out, well just hum
This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time, my iron lung
The headshrinkers, they want my everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want my everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
And if youre frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, its okay
And if youre frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, its okay
The headshrinkers, they want my everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want my everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon |
Flies are buzzing round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This ones optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one drops a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
Id really like to help you, man
Id really like to help you, man
Nervous messed up marionette
Float around on a prison ship
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
Dinosaurs roaming the earth
Dinosaurs roaming the earth
Dinosaurs roaming the earth |
It barks at no one else but me
Like its seen a ghost
I guess its seen the sparks a-flowin
No one else would know
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Sometimes I get overcharged
Thats when you see sparks
They ask me where the hell Im going
At a thousand feet per second
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down |
Drift all you like from ocean to ocean
Search the whole world
But drunken confessions and hijacked affairs
Will just make you more alone
When you come home I’ll bake you a cake
Made of all their eyes
I wish you could see me dressed for the kill
You’re my man of war
You’re my man of war
Yeah, the worms will come for you, big boots
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So unplug the phones, stop all the taps
It all comes flooding back
To poison clouds and poisoned dwarves
You’re my man of war
You’re my man of war
Yeah, the worms will come for you, big boots
Yeah, the worms will come for you, big boots
For you, big boots |
Cant get the stink off
Hes been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day hell get to you
And teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself, you do
And thats what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
Dont get my sympathy
Hanging out the fifteenth floor
Youve changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door
One day Ill get to you
And teach you how to get to purest hell
You do it to yourself, you do
And thats what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself, you do
And thats what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
Self |
I will shape myself into your pocket
Invisible
Do what you want
Do what you want
I will shrink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove
And cut me off
And cut me off
Theres an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now Ill set you free
Ill set you free
Theres an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now Ill set you free
Ill set you free
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
I cant kick your habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart
We will shrink and well be quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want
Theres an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I set you free
I set you free
Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
Oh, the bird that’s flown into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
I dance around the pit
The darkness is beneath
I cant kick your habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart |
Drag him out your window
Dragging out the dead
Singing I miss you
Snakes and ladders
Flip the lid
Out pops the cracker
Smacks you in the head
Knifes you in the neck
Kicks you in the teeth
Steel toe caps
Takes all your credit cards
Get up, get the gunge
Get the eggs
Get the flan in the face
The flan in the face
The flan in the face
Dance, you fucker, dance, you fucker
Dont you dare, dont you dare
Dont you, flan in the face
Take it with the love its given
Take it with a pinch of salt
Take it to the taxman
Let me back, let me back
I promise to be good
Dont look in the mirror
At the face you dont recognize
Help me, call the doctor, put me inside
Put me inside, put me inside
Put me inside, put me inside
I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that hes gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I dont pay the ransom
And Ill never see them again if I squeal to the cops
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Walking like giant cranes and
With my X-ray eyes, I strip you naked
In a tight little world and are you on the list?
Stepford wives, who are we to complain?
Investments and dealers, investments and dealers
Cold wives and mistresses
Cold wives and Sunday papers
City boys in first class
Dont know were born at all
Just know someone else is gonna come and clean it up
Born and raised for the job
Someone always does
Oh, I wish youd get up
Get over, get up, get over, turn your tape off
I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that hes gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I dont pay the ransom
And Ill never see them again if I squeal to the cops
So Im just gonna... |
Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?
Alone on an airplane
Falling asleep against the windowpane
My blood will thicken
I need to wash myself again
To hide all the dirt and pain
Cause Id be scared that theres nothing underneath
But who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?
My babys got the bends, oh no
We dont have any real friends
No, no, no
Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the 60s, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you?
They brought in the CIA
The tanks and the whole marines
To blow me away
To blow me sky high
My babys got the bends
We dont have any real friends
Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the 60s, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be a part of the human race
I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be a part of the human race
Race, race, race
Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you? |
Everyone
Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
Its holding on
Its holding on
Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got the fear
Its holding on
Its holding on
Its holding on
Its holding on
Its holding on
Smile! |
They love me like I was a brother
They protect me, listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
I call up my friend, the good angel
But shes out with her answerphone
She said that shed love to come help, but
The sea would electrocute us all
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream
Nice dream |
Im lost, Im a ghost
Dispossessed, taken host
My hunger burns a bullet hole
A spectre of my mortal soul
These rumors and suspicion
Anger is a poison
The only truth that I could see
Is when you put your lips to me
Futures tricked by the past
Spectre, how he laughs
Fear puts a spell on us
Always second-guessing love
My hunger burns a bullet hole
A spectre of my mortal soul
The only truth that I can see
Spectre has come for me |
I will stop, I will stop at nothing
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
Riot shields, voodoo economics, your turn, your turn
Its just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F
I trust I can rely on your vote
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet |
All the holes at once
Are coming alive, set free
Out of sight and out of mind
The lonely and their prey
The ones you light your fires to keep away
Is crawling out upon its belly
And all you have to do is say yes
All the birds stay up
In the trees
All the fish swim down to the deep
The lonely and their prey
I am here
Come to me
Before its too late
The one you light your fires to keep away
Is crawling out upon its belly
And all you have to do is say yes |
One, two, three, four
Wakey wakey
Rise and shine
Its on again, off again, on again
Watch me fall
Like dominoes
In pretty patterns
Fingers in
The blackbird pie
Im tingling tingling tingling
Its what you feel now
What you ought to what you ought to
Reasonable and sensible
Dead from the neck up
I guess Im stuffed, stuffed, stuffed
We thought you had it in you
But no, no, no
For no real reason
Squeeze the tubes and empty bottles
And take a bow take a bow take a bow
Its what you feel now
What you ought to what you ought to
An elephant thats in the room is
Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling
In duplicate and triplicate and
Plastic bags and
Duplicate and triplicate
Dead from the neck up
I guess Im stuck, stuck, stuck
We thought you had it in you
But no, no, no
Exactly where do you get off
Is enough, is enough?
I love you but enough is enough, enough of that stuff
Theres no real reason
Youve got a head full of feathers
You got melted to butter |
Morning bell
Morning bell
Light another candle and
Release me
Release me
You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Howling down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Please
Release me
Release me
Whered you park the car?
Whered you park the car?
Clothes are on the lawn with the furniture
Now I might as well
I might as well
Sleepy jack the fire drill
Round and round and round and round and round and round and round
And round
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
The lights are on but nobodys home
Everybody wants to be a friend
The lights are on but nobodys home
Nobody wants to be a slave
Walking, walking, walking, walking
Walking, walking, walking, walking
Walking, walking, walking, walking
Walking, walking, walking, walking |
Come on, come on
You think you drive me crazy?
Well, come on, come on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
Come on, come on
Holy Roman Empire
Come on if you think
Come on if you think
You can take us on
You can take us on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
You forget so easy
We ride tonight
We ride tonight
Ghost horses
Ghost horses
We ride tonight
We ride tonight
Ghost horses
Ghost horses
Ghost horses |
This is the place
Sit down, you’re safe now
You’ve been stuck in a lift
We’ve been trying to reach you, Thom
This is the place
It won’t hurt ever again
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Empty all your pockets
Because it’s time to come home
This is the place
Remember me? I’m the face you always see
You’ve been stuck in a lift
In the belly of a whale at the bottom of the ocean
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Empty all your pockets
Because it’s time to come home
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Ah, let it go
Today is the first day
Of the rest of your days
So lighten up, squirt |
I want you to know hes not coming back
Look into my eyes, Im not coming back
So knives out, catch the mouse
Dont look down, shove it in your mouth
If youd been a dog, they would have drowned you at birth
Look into my eyes
Its the only way youll know Im telling the truth
So knives out, cook him up
Squash his head, put him in the pot
I want you to know hes not coming back
Hes bloated and frozen
Still theres no point in letting it go to waste
So knives out, catch the mouse
Squash his head, put him in the pot |
I get home from work
And youre still standing in your dressing gown
Well, what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head
And what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite
That beams me home
The troubled words of a troubled mind
I try to understand what is eating you
I try to stay awake, but its 58 hours
Since that I last slept with you
What are we coming to?
I just dont know anymore
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite
That beams me home
I get on the train and I just stand about
Now that I dont think of you
I keep falling over, I keep passing out
When I see a face like you
What am I coming to?
Im gonna melt down
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite
That beams me home
Ah, this is killing me
Ah, this is killing me |
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Stirring up inside of me
Every day, every hour
Wish that I
Was bulletproof
Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it
Was bulletproof
Was bulletproof
So, pay me money and take a shot
Lead, fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate
And bulletproof
And bulletproof
And bulletproof
Bulletproof |
Open your mouth wide
A universal sigh
And while the ocean blooms
Its what keeps me alive
So why does this still hurt?
Dont blow your mind with whys
Im moving out of orbit
Turning in somersaults
A giant turtles eyes
Jellyfish float by
Its what keeps me alive |
I might be wrong, I might be wrong
I could have sworn I saw a light coming on
I used to think, I used to think
There was no future left at all
I used to think
Open up, begin again
Lets go down the waterfall
Think about the good times and never look back
Never look back
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I did not have you?
Open up and let me in
Lets go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time, its nothing at all
Its nothing at all, nothing at all
Keep it moving
Keep it moving |
Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
I got a message I cant read
Another message I cant read
Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
I got a message I can’t read
Another message I can’t read
Im on your side
Nowhere to hide
Trapdoors that open
I spiral down
Youre living in a fantasy world
Youre living in a fantasy world
Im lost at sea
Dont bother me
Ive lost my way
Ive lost my way
Youre living in a fantasy world
Youre living in a fantasy world
Youre living in a fantasy world
The most beautiful woman in the world
Come back
Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
Another message I cant read
Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
Come back
Another message I cant read
Another message I cant read
Another message I cant read
Come back
Another message I cant read
Another message I cant read
Another message I cant read
Come back |
Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Fantasized
No one gets hurt
Youve done nothing wrong
Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The waters clear
And innocent
The waters clear
And innocent |
The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his newfound friends
He said, I been where I liked
I slept with who I like
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
But now
I dont know why I
Feel so tongue tied
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering and waving, cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
But it got edited, fucked up
Strangled, beaten up
Used in a photo in Time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon
I dont know why I
Feel so tongue tied
Dont know why I
Feel so skinned alive
My thoughts are misguided and a little naïve
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis, I got myxomatosis
Yeah, no one likes a smartass, but we all like stars
Wait, that wasnt my intention, I did it for a reason
It must have got mixed up, strangled, beaten up
I got myxomatosis, I got myxomatosis
I dont know why I
Feel so tongue tied |
Stop! Stop! Stooooop! Let me do it!
No you always play what you want to play. I want to play
You dont got no Jodeci or something?
All you bitches want is Jodeci, what the fuck?
What is a Radiohead anyway?
Whatever |
Theres a gap in between
Theres a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin
And Im sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
4, 5, 6, 7
I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I cant, and I cant come down
I can watch but not take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X will mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
Therell be no more lies
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive |
Once again, Im in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the windowpanes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glasshouse
And once again, packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Dont talk politics and dont throw stones
Your royal highnesses
Well of course Id like to sit around and chat
Well of course Id like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course Id like to sit around and chat
But someones listening in
Once again we are hungry for a lynching
Thats a strange mistake to make
You should turn the other cheek
Living in a glasshouse
Well of course Id like to sit around and chat
Well of course Id like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course Id like to sit around and chat
Only only only only only only only only only only...
Theres someone listening in |
You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but its always here
You can crush it but its always near
Chasing you home
Saying
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
You can force it but it will stay stone
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules
All of the rules
But still
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken
Why cant you forget?
Why cant you forget?
Why cant you forget? |
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on peoples toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I cant face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there youll get
Relief, relief
Relief, relief
And if Im gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please dont interrupt
Just sit back and listen
Cause I cant face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there youll get
Relief, relief
Relief, relief
Relief, relief
Its too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful |
I want to
I want to be someone else or Ill explode
Floating upon the surface for
The birds, the birds
The birds
You want me?
Fuckin well come and find me
Ill be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing
You want me?
Well, come on and break the door down
You want me?
Fuckin come on and break the door down
Im ready, Im ready
Im ready
Im ready
Im ready
Im ready |
I sailed the moon
I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars
Maybe youll be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood youll build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail to the moon |
While you make pretty speeches
Im being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance
When this just feels like
Spinning plates
Im living in Cloud Cuckoo Land
And this just feels like
Spinning plates
My bodys floating down the muddy river |
The Moonies are up on the mountain
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Waiting on the rapture
Singing, Were here
To keep your prices down
Feed you to the hounds
To the Daily Mail”
Together, together
You made a pigs ear
You made a rude mistake
Paid off security
And got through the gate
You got away with it
But we lie in wait
Hey hey, hey hey hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey
Wheres the truth, whats the use
In hanging around, lost and found
With your head in the sand
Fat chance, no plan
No regard for human life
Keep trying, you’ve no right
Fast and loose, win or lose
Jumped the queue, go back again
President for life
Lord of all that flies in the sky
The beasts of the earth, the fish in the sea
You’ve lost command
Hey hey, hey hey hey
Uh uh, uh uh uh
Uh uh uh |
You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you
You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself, not you?
Its like the world is gonna end so soon
And why should I believe myself?
My–
You, me and everything
Caught in the fire
I can see me drowning
Caught in the fire
You, me and everything
Caught in the fire
I can see me drowning
Caught in the fire |
After years of waiting nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes, you realize
Im a reasonable man
Get off, get off, get off my case
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case
After years of waiting
After years of waiting nothing came
And you realize youre looking in, looking in the wrong place
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
After years of waiting
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
Im a reasonable man
Get off my case, get off my case, get off my case |
Its like Ive fallen out of bed
From a long and vivid dream
The sweetest flowered fruits were hanging from the trees
Falling off the giant bird thats been carrying me
Its like Ive fallen out of bed
From a long and vivid dream
Just exactly as I remember
Every word, every gesture
Ive my heart
In my mouth
Like Ive fallen out of bed
From a long and vivid dream
Finally Im free of all the weight Ive been carrying
And as that woman blows her cover
In the eye of the beholder
Im a fish now out of water
Fallen off a giant bird thats been carrying me
I fell open, I lay under
At the tip off I lost your number
I wanna slip over
And get back under
And if you think this is over
Then youre wrong
If you think this is over
Then youre wrong
If you think this is over
Then youre wrong
If you think this is over
Then youre wrong
Like Ive fallen out of bed
From a long and vivid dream
Finally Im free of all the weight Ive been carrying
When at last, you give in
When at last, you give in
Wake me up, will you wake me up?
Wake me up, will you wake me up?
Wake me up, will you wake me up?
Wake me up, will you wake me up? |
I will lay me down
In a bunker underground
I wont let this happen to my children
Meet the real world coming out of your shell
With white elephants, sitting ducks
I will rise up
Little babys eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Little babys eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Little babys eyes, eyes eyes |
Sit down, stand up
Sit down, stand up
Walk into the jaws of hell
Walk into the jaws of hell
Anytime
Anytime
Sit down, stand up
Sit down
Hey, we can wipe you out anytime
We can wipe you out
Anytime
Anytime
Stand up
Sit down
The raindrops, the raindrops

No no no no no no
No no no no no no

I dont know why you bother
Nothings ever good enough for you
I was there, it wasnt like that
Youve come here just to start a fight
You had to piss on our parade
You had to shred our big day
You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punch-up at a wedding, yeah
Hypocrite opportunist
Dont infect me with your poison
A bully in a china shop
When I turn round, you stay frozen to the spot
The pointless snide remarks
Of hammerheaded sharks
The pot will call the kettle black
Its a drunken punch-up at a wedding, yeah
No no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no

There are barn doors and there are revolving doors
Doors in the rudders of big ships and there are revolving doors
There are doors that open by themselves
There are sliding doors and there are secret doors
There are doors that lock and doors that dont
There are doors that let you in and out but never open
And there are trapdoors that you cant come back from |
Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But Im still no one
And youre my star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you
And theres no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But Im playing with myself
And what do you care when the other men are far, far better?
All the things youve got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you, honey?
Ive been thinking about you
So how can you sleep?
These people arent your friends
Theyre paid to kiss your feet
They dont know what I know
And why should you care, when Im not there?
Been thinking about you
And theres no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But Im playing with myself
And what do you care, when Im not there?
All the things youve got
That youll never need
All the things youve got
Ive bled and I bleed to please you
Been thinking about you |
Dont hurt me, dont hurt me
Dont hurt me, dont hurt me
Dont hurt me
Gather up the lost and their souls
Into your arms
Into your arms
Gather up the pitiful
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
What seems impossible
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
I think I have had my fill
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
I think I should give up the ghost
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms
Into your arms |
Keep your distance
Then no harm will come
No ill wind
Will blow
Will blow
Sudden words
Must never be spoken
All ill wind
Will blow
Will blow
Keep your cool
Do not give into emotion
An ill wind
Will blow
Will blow |
I dont want to be crippled and cracked
Shoulders, wrists, knees, and back
Ground to dust and ash
Crawling on all fours
When youve got to feel it in your bones
When youve got to feel it in your bones
Now I cant climb the stairs
Pieces missing everywhere
Prozac, painkillers
When youve got to feel it in your bones
When youve got to feel it in your bones
And I used to fly like Peter Pan
All the children flew when I touched their hands
Listen, youve got to feel it in your bones
Listen, youve got to feel it in your bones |
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someones son or someones daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up sucked in
Over my dead body
Im gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me
We dont really want a monster taking over
Tiptoe round, tie him down
We dont want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round, tie him down
May pretty horses
Come to you as you sleep
Im gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me |
You bite through the big wall
The big wall bites back
You sit there and sulk
You sit there and bawl
You look so pretty
When youre on your knees
Disinfected
And eager to please
Sometimes you sulk
Sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes but were already gone
Just like your dad, youll never change
Each time it comes
It eats me alive
I try to behave
But it eats me alive
So I declare a holiday
Fall asleep, drift away
Sometimes you sulk
Sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes but were already gone
Just like your dad, youll never change
Sometimes you sulk
Sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes but were already gone
Just like your dad, youll never change |
Im walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rapping on my windowsill
Yesterdays headlines blown by the wind
Yesterdays people end up scatterbrain there
Any fool can easy pick a hole, I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere Im not
Scatterbrain
Somewhere Im not
Scatterbrain
Lightning fuse, powercut
Scatterbrain |
There are better things to talk about
Be constructive
Bear a weapon we can use
Be constructive with your blues
Even when its only warnings
Even when youre talking war games
Why dont you quiet down?
Why dont you quiet down?
(Maybe I want to live in the childrens land
And you know maybe, maybe I)
Why dont you quiet down?
(Maybe Ill wander the promised land
I want peace and honesty)
Why dont you quiet down?
(I want to live in the promised land
And maybe wander the childrens land)
Quiet down!
You dont live in a business world and
You never go out and you never stay
We all have goals in a liberal world
Living in times when I could stand it, babe
All over, babys crying
Itll all over, maybe, I can see out of here
All over the planets dead
All over the planet, so let me out of here
All over the, all over the, all over the, all over the
We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence
And the mark and the yen, and yeah
Were gonna crack your little souls
Were gonna crack your little souls
We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence
And the pounds and pence, and yeah
Were gonna crack your little souls
Crack your little souls
We are the dollars and cents |
Genie let out of the bottle
It is now the witching hour
Genie let out of the bottle
It is now the witching hour
Murderers, youre murderers
We are not the same as you
Genie let out of the bottle
Funny, ha-ha, funny how
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
With your breathing
They will suck you down to the other side
They will suck you down to the other side
They will suck you down to the other side
They will suck you down to the other side
To the shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells
Shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells, your alarm
They should be ringing, they should be ringing
They should be ringing, they should be ringing
They should be ringing, they should be ringing
They should be ringing, they should be ringing
They should be ringing, they should be ringing
They should be ringing, they should be ringing
This is the gloaming |
Dont turn nasty now
The dusts of hell
A pillar of my salt
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the spell
Little by little, by hook or by crook
Im such a tease and youre such a flirt
Once youve been round youve been around enough
Ooh
Little by little, by hook or by crook
Never in earnest, never get judged
Im no idiot, I should look
Ooh
The glue wont hold
The thread unpulls
Uncurling with my love
The last one out of the box
The one who broke the seal
Obligations
Complications
Routines and schedules
The drug that will kill you
Kill you
Little by little, by hook or by crook
Never in earnest, never get judged
Im no idiot, I should look
Little by little, by hook or by crook
Im such a tease and youre such a flirt |
Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?
Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?
We want the young blood
Are you fracturing?
Are you torn at the seams?
Would you do anything?
Flea-bitten, moth eaten?
We suck young blood
We suck young blood
Wont let the creeping ivy
Wont let the nervous bury me
Our veins are thin
Our rivers poisoned
We want the sweet meats
We want the young blood |
Destiny, destiny, protect me from the world
Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world
Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I dont see no confusion anywhere
And if the world does turn, and if London burns
Ill be standing on the beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they wont be a nothing anymore
Grow my hair
Grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Jim Morrison
Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I dont see no confusion anywhere
And if the world does turn, and if London burns
Ill be standing on the beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they wont be a nothing anymore |
Over here, come slowly
Come slowly to me
Ive been waiting
Patient, patiently
I didnt get it, but now I can see
That theres a way out, that theres a way out
That theres a way out, that theres a way out
That theres a way out |
Go!
Tears of joy now scare ourselves
From all that you want to be
Just got paid and now youre going
Round inside your place
If I get scared Ill just call you
And Ill miss your glow as I unsettle
Oh, and Ill always feel
I will always be-
-aright
One, two, three
Four
So sell your suit and tie
And come and live with me
Leukemia schizophrenia
Polyethylene
There is no significant risk to your health
She used to be beautiful once as well
Plastic bag, middle class
Polyethylene
Decaffeinate, unleaded
Keep all surfaces clean
If you dont believe me, sell your soul
If you dont get into it, no one will
Oh
Obtain

Were rotten fruit
Were damaged goods
What the hell, weve got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
Were backdrifting
This far, but no further
Im hanging off a branch
Im teetering on the brink of
Honey sweets, so full of sleep
Im backsliding
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has been buried
All tapes have been erased
But your footsteps give you away
So youre backtracking
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
You fell into our, you fell into our...
Were rotten fruit
Were damaged goods
What the hell, weve got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
Were backdrifters |
I was stronger, I was better
Picked you out
Now dont say a word, no, dont yell out
Never mind
Let you let out, led you back
Stay on, sit down
Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall, let it fall |
