You got some nerve coming here
You got some nerve coming here
You stole it off, give it back
You stole it off, give it back
Good morning, Mr. Magpie
How are we today?
Now youve stolen all the magic
And took my memory
You know you should, but you dont
You know you should, but you dont
Good morning, Mr. Magpie
How are we today?
Now youve stolen all my magic
Took my melody |
Youre not mine
Im not yours
Its all fine
Please dont judge, judge
Judge |
Im stuck in the TARDIS
Trapped in hyperspace
One minute, snake charming
The next in a motorcade
All the right moves and
In the right places
Watch me dance, Im a puppet
You can almost see the strings
Give me an answer
Give me a line
Ive been climbing up this ladder
Ive been wasting my time
Up on the ladder were all tied to a stake
Up on the ladder we wait for your mistake
Up on the ladder, try to call out your name
Up on the ladder youre all the fucking same |
The morning bell, the 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, yeah
Release me
Release me
Whered you park the car?
Whered you park the car?
Your clothes are on the lawn with the furniture
And I might as well, I might as well
Sleepy jack the fire drill
Run around, around, around, around
And round
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Release me
Release me
Release me
Release me |
In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel
And everything I touch
Turns to stone
And everything I touch
Turns to stone
I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out
And everything I touch
Turns to stone
Everything I touch
Turns to stone |
This is just a nightmare
Soon Im going to wake up
Someones gonna bring me round
Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields
Laying flat on the ground
Just like everybody
Stepping over heads
Running from the underground
This is your warning, four minute warning
I dont wanna hear it
I dont wanna know
I just wanna run and hide
This is just a nightmare
But soon Im gonna wake up
Someones gonna bring me round
This is our warning, four minute warning |
Get yourself together, let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothings gonna happen without warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup?
Down is the new up, is the new up
Wont you be my girl? Wont you be my girl?
Your services are not required
Your futures bleak, youre so last week
Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop
I shall now amputate, I shall now contort
Because down is the new up
What if I just flip-flop?
Down is the new up, down is the new up
Down is the new up, is the new up
You crawled off and left us, you crawled off and left us
You crawled off and left us
You bastard
You bastard
Youre on candid camera
The chink in your armour
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town |
I am the only one that got through
The others died wherever they fell
It was an ambush
They came up from all sides
Give your leaders each a gun and then let them
Fight it out themselves
Ive seen devils coming up from the ground
Ive seen hell upon this earth
The next will be chemical
But they will never learn |
And the wise man said I dont want to hear your voice
And the thin man said I dont want to hear your voice
And theyre cursing me, and they wont let me be
And theres nothing to say, and theres nothing to do
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
And the mother say we spit on your son some more
And the buildings say we spit on your face some more
And the feeling is that theres something wrong
Cause I cant find the words and I cant find the songs
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
Dear Sir, I have a complaint
Dear Sir, I have a complaint
Cant remember what it is
It doesnt matter anyway
It doesnt matter anyway
Stop whispering, stop whispering
Stop whispering, stop whispering
Stop, stop |
You bit me, bit me
Bit me, oh
You bit me, bit me
And now I want more
Im standing in the hall, Im puking on the wall
Its all heading south to the Conger Hill
The bangers and the mash, the negatives for cash
Youre either in the club, baby, or youre not
Whatever turns you on, whatever gets you up
Chief of police or vice chancellor
Lord and Lady blah-blah, the vicar and the judge
Youre all dancing to my little red book
Because you bit me, bit me
Bit me, oh
I got the poison, poison
And now I want more
If you are on the top, then it is a long drop
The pyramid is power, were changing by the hour
If you are on the top, then it is a long drop
If you stare into the dark, the dark will stare back
Back into your soul
Im taking you down, Im taking you down
Im taking you down, when I go down
Im taking you down, Im taking you down
Im standing in the hall, Im puking on the wall
Yeah, because you bit me, bit me
Bit me, oh
The poison, I got the poison
I got the poison now
Yeah, I got the poison |
Hes bitter and twisted
He knows what he wants
He wants to be loved and
He wants to belong
He wants us to listen
He wants us to weep
And he was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak
But how do you?
How do you?
How do you?
He lives with his mother
But we show him respect
Hes a dangerous bigot
But we always forget
And hes just like his daddy
Cause he cheats on his friends
And he steals and he bullies anyway that he can
But how do you?
How do you?
How do you? |
Howd you get your
Teeth so pearly?
Dew-drop dentures
White-washed fences
She runs from the third world, pearly
Vanilla milkshakes
From Hard Rock Cafés
Thats where she got her
Sweet tooth for white boys
She runs from the third world, pearly
Use me, darling use me
Darling use me, darling use me |
Ukončete výstup a nástup, dveře se zavírají
Příští stanice, Jiřího z Poděbrad
If I get old, I will not give in
But if I do, remind me of this
Remind me that once I was free
Once I was cool, once I was me
And if I sit down and cross my arms
Hold me up to this song
Knock me out, smash out my brains
If I take a chair, and start to talk shit
If I get old, remind me of this
The way that we kissed, and I really meant it
Whatever happens, if were still speaking
Pick up the phone, play me this song |
I cant afford to breathe in this time
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to the cathode ray
Im better off dead, Im better off dead
Im better off...
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
I wanna breathe, I wanna grow
Id say I want it but I dont know how
I work, I bleed, I beg and pray
But Im better off dead, Im better off dead
Im better off...
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Im better off dead, Im better off dead
Im better off...
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Why?
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself |
In a city of the future
It is difficult to concentrate
Meet the boss, meet the wife
Everybodys happy, everyone is made for life
In a city of the future
It is difficult to find a space
Im too busy to see you
Youre too busy to wait
But Im okay, how are you?
Thanks for asking, thanks for asking
But Im okay, how are you?
I hope youre okay, too
Every one of those days
When the skys California blue
With a beautiful bombshell
I throw myself into my work
Im too lazy
Ive been kidding myself for so long
Im okay, how are you?
Thanks for asking, thanks for asking
Im okay, how are you?
I hope youre okay, too |
There’s a little child running around this house
And he never leaves, he will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows, in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers
Grow up fast, grow up fast
Anything you want, it can be done
How, how did you go bad?
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad? Did you go bad? |
Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasnt me, it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And theres nothing in this world will keep it down
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant
So many things that keep, that keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now
Ill be gutted like Ive never been before
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant
If you give up on me now
Ill be gutted like Ive never been before
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant
Even though I might, even though I try, I cant |
I know what youre thinking
But Im not your property
No matter what you say
No matter what you say
Move along, theres nothing left to see
Just a body, nothing left to see
A couple more for breakfast
A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off
Just to take the edge off
Move along, theres nothing left to see
Just a body, blood pouring down the street
Move along, theres nothing left to see
Just a body, nothing left to see
Move along |
You stop the crowd
I cried out to break the spell
You wake and smile
I just snapped and lost control
Distracted by irrelevance
The stress and the tension
The stress and the tension
Im in a lull
Theres nothing more dull
Than talking, talking about yourself
But what I meant to say
Im sorry that I lost control
Distracted by irrelevance
The stress and the tension
Crawling through the keyhole
Im in a lull |
Your attention, please! Your attention, I need it
So I can sit you in a position from which I see it
Where Im seated is scenic
Heavy-weighter, slim as the Machinist, so bulimic
Which means you somewhere in between it
I take it back for you like the Wyld Stallyns of San Dimas
Im in the market for low-mile 360 Modenas
And a good organic cleaners
My car always a winner
Your cars always pitted, we should call it Stanley Steamers
Most of my friends in gangs
My new nickname is Genghis Khan
But without the Ye, but his last names my side
I ride with the meanest, Im armed to the teeth
Youre Venus and youve never been to the dentist
School of Hard Knocks, I dean it
I done it, as well as a celebrated alumnus
I donate to the campus and my names on the arenas
But you cant bring it to my court not even with subpoenas
Cause you cant play my sport but you can still cheerlead us
And you cant sit there, that sections for the seniors
And the sexy señoritas, so just move up to the bleachers
How you going to school me when I grew up with your teachers
I know that you cant hear me cause I blew up all the speakers
And the power line is hanging cause I threw up all the sneakers
I ate up the im-pastas and I chewed through all the pizzas
I blacked out with a black card and I maxed out all the Visas
Accreditation so prestigious, just walk across my stage
Your life will be completed
Dont need financial aid, cause this is just some free shit
You been properly prepared, throw your hats up in the air
Im red hot, Chilly, Im Anthony Kiedis
My spirit smells teenage, and Chi-Towns feeling excellent
We hit them with the President, see, we set the precedent
I dont feel Im best, I just feel Im better than...
Everyone
Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
Its holding on
Its holding on
See I dont disagree, this is just a grievance
This aint dissing, this is civil disobedience
How you going to make hip-hop without all the ingredients?
Lot of mouths to feed, plus a lot of greediness
And that greed, outshines the neediness
What niggas need is some question they authority
And tune out all the TV shit
And we be this
So I give them more, you see, I did it for...
Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got the fear
Its holding on
Its holding on
Yeah, I am back up on the airwaves
Feeling like a Soldier and I aint talking where the Bears play
Flair, look how I Fred Astaire down the staircases
Its finna be a hair-raising tortoise versus hare race
So you should hang around here like some earrings
I know attentions all about how you pair things
So when I want them to hear me out
I just sit them next to some pictures of Rosa splitting with her titties out
And whats written on her titties is what its really about
Then her vagina is some poor kids from China
Nipples, nuclear missiles
Ass is a daughter without a dad, back is like Afghanistan, Iraq
Health care hair, drive-by thighs, education lips, HIV eyes
Environment feet, justice get her so wet
Brains get you brains, you can fuck her if you protest
But before you bust in her face
Finish listening to the tape; Enemy of the State |
Supercollider
Dust in a moment
Particles scatter
Coming up from the soup
Swimming upstream
Before the heavens crack open
Thin pixelations
Coming up from the dust
In a blue light
In a green light
In a half-life
In an arc light
Im a B-spin
Flip-flopping
Im a pulse wave
Outstepping
I put the shadows back into their boxes
I am open
I am welcome
For a fraction
Of a second
I have jettisoned
My illusions
I have dislodged
My depressions
I put the shadows back into their boxes
I put the shadows back into their boxes
I see angels hanging over the balcony
I see angels hanging over the balcony
I see angels hanging over the balcony |
Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
Its inevitable, inevitable, its a soul destroyed
Youre free until you drop
Youre free until youve had enough
But you dont understand
Youve no ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord
Aeroplane, do I mean what I mean?
Its inevitable, inevitable, oh aeroplane
A thousand miles an hour
And politics in power
That you dont understand
Youve no ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord
The answer to your prayers
Well drop you anywhere
With no ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord |
Dont forget that you are our son
Now go back to bed
We just know that youll do well
You wont come to harm
Death to all who stand in your way
Wake, my dear |
I feel better
I feel better now youve gone
I got better
I got better, I got strong
I feel better
I feel better now theres nothing wrong
I got better
I got better, I got strong
Tell me something
Tell me something I dont know
Tell me one thing
Tell me one thing and let it go
I got something
I got something, heaven knows
I got something
I got something I dont know |
I never wanted anything but this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died long
Every time youre running out of here
Every time youre running I get the fear
I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and asphyxiate
And I burn all hate
Every time youre running out on me
Every time youre running I can see
Im not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself
The waters spray, the waters run all over me
The waters spray, the waters run
And this time youre gonna pay
Im not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself |
Open your mouth wide
The universal sigh
And while the ocean blooms
Its what keeps me alive
Open your mouth wide
The universal sigh
And while the ocean blooms
Its what keeps me alive
Ocean blooms |
I walk down the staircase
Magnetic pull
Back to the other place
That I cannot go
Im sending a chopper
To steal you away
The pot is full, let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full of secrets to be told
Secrets to be told
Out of orbit
And I always will
The pot is full, let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full of secrets to be told
Secrets to be told |
Beauty will destroy your mind, spare the gory details
Give them gift-wrapped for the man with everything
Though I lived a lonely life, I was confused
A butcher, I feel nothing
As it courses up my arms in a position of the worms
Up, up, through my heart into my brain
Arm a bit slack, a basic combination
Cut out of chopped liver on the block
My hearts still pumping
My hearts still pumping
Hes a warrior, a warrior
Heres a little bitch coming out of him
Hes a warrior, a warrior
Heres a little bitch coming out of him
Coming out of him |
I want to see you smile again
Like diamonds in the dust
The amazing sound of the killing hordes
The day the banks collapsed on us
Cease this endless chattering
Like everything is fine
When sorry is not good enough
Sit in the back while no one drives
So glad, so glad youre mine
So glad, so glad youre mine
So glad, so glad youre mine
So glad, so glad youre mine |
These are my twisted words
Went off the roof still walking
I know I should not look down
But Im so sick of just talking
When are you coming back?
I just cant handle it
When are you coming back?
I just cant handle it
When are you coming back?
I just cant stand it
I just cant handle it |

Oh, Banana Co
We really love you, and we need you
And oh, Banana Co
Wed really love to believe you
But everythings underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah, yeah
Oh, she said No go
She said shed like to, shes seen you
And oh, Banana Co
She knows if you die then we all do
And everythings underground
Weve gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah, yeah
Everythings burning down
We gotta put it out somehow
Yeah, yeah |
You can keep what you want
I want none of this
Theyre just bad memories
I dont want
In my sunshine
You can pack it all up
And be gone
And be gone
If it matters to you
You can sell it all up
If the price feels right
I wont judge
If you get off your knees
Youll be out on the breeze
Take a lesson from me
Dont get stuck on a dream |
Rust in the mountains, rust in the brain
The air is sacred here in spite of your claim
Up on the the rooftops, out of reach
Trickster is meaningless, trickster is weak
Hes talking out the world, talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
I wanted you so bad, that I couldnt say
All things fall apart
We wanted out so bad, that we couldnt say
These things fall apart
Were talking out the world, talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey, this is only halfway
Truant kids, a can of brick dust worms
Who do not want to climb down from their chestnut tree
Long white gloves, police check carefully
Escaped from the zoo, the perfect child facsimile is
Talking out the world, talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey |
I will leave a wallpaper life
And run away to the foreign legion
I would leave a wallpaper life
And run away to the foreign legion
As the tanks roll into town
As the tanks roll into town
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
As the tanks roll into town
As the tanks roll into town
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
I dont know why I feel so tongue tied
I dont know why I feel so skinned alive
Run until your lungs are sore
Until you cannot feel it anymore
Run until your lungs are sore
Until you find an open door
I build you up to pull you down
Tie you to your feet and watch you drown
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
I build you up to pull you down
Tie you to the stake and watch you burn in hell
I dont know why I feel so tongue tied
I dont know why I feel so skinned alive
Ill find another skin to wear
Ill find another skin to wear |
Oh no, Pop is dead, long live Pop
It died an ugly death by back-catalogue
And now you know it gets you nowhere
And now you know, you realize
Oh no, Pop is dead, it just gave up
We raised the dead but they wont stand up
And radio has salmonella
And now you know youre gonna die
He left this message for us
So what? Pop is dead, its no great loss
So many facelifts, his face flew off
The emperor really has no clothes on
And his skin is peeling off
Oh no, Pop is dead, long live Pop
One final line of coke to jack him off
Jack him off
He left this message for us
He left this message for us
He left this message for us |
You dont want to talk to me
You dont want to say the words
Trying to get off the hook
Trying to get off the hook
Sprawling on a pin
Hanging off a hook
Trying to get yourself away
Trying to get yourself away
Theres no use dwelling on
On what might have been
Just think of all the fun
You could be having
We know the way you talk
We know what you want
We know what you want
What you really want
Take a look around
The candles on the cake
On what might have been
The road you should have took
Mistakes, mistaken
Theres no use dwelling on
No use dwelling on
Its such a beautiful day
Its such a beautiful day
Find yourself a moment
And go and get some wings
Its such a beautiful day
Its such a beautiful day
Go up to the mic, go up to the mic
Go and get some wings |
Did it all for you to say
You never wanted me that way
Now the dogs have had their meat
I think Ill go plug in the mains
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself into your hands
When you spare a make up smile
Im instantly your biggest fan
How was I to know
That you practiced it beforehand?
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself into your hands |
I wrapped you inside of my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didnt feel pain, cause no one can touch me
Now that Im held in your spell
Beautiful girl
Beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust
Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
I never cared before
I never cared before
I never cared before
Before, before, before
Beautiful girl
Beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust
Beautiful girl
Beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust
I stood in front of her face
When the first bullet was shot |
Are you lonely?
Are you living on the seat of your pants?
Are you happy?
Wipe that smile off your face
Are you someone?
Lose my pinball eyes
Are you lonely?
Are you broken all in a vice?
Try what you shouldnt say
And Ill help you
Heres the detective
Hes in charge of your case
Heres the detective
And hes hoping to waste my name
And hes trying what is in his arm, but I dont mind
Hes trying what is in his arm, but I dont mind
The strength for living, losing
No one inside of my head
Are you crazy?
Are you blessed in bed in his arm?
Is there mumbling?
Will you cry us a play in it?
Are you happy?
Your crossed legs
Try what you want from me, Ill spit it back
Soft as a denim hand, spit it back
Then this world
and it hurts
Leaving it on a nose |
Karma Police, arrest this man
He talks in maths, I say he buzzes like a fridge
Hes like a detuned radio, oh oh no
And I just want to say
Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo, its making me feel ill
But we have crashed her party
Oh no no
And I just want to say
The constellations and the pyramids align
From karma manifesting over periods of time
Must I remind you?
That the minuscule amounts of energy found in a fraction
Can lead to quite a powerful counter reaction
And while you sit and wait, the Karma Police will come and take you away
Cause I never wanna stand in the way
I said I never wanna stand in the way of what they do
And this is what youll get
This is what youll get
This is what youll get
When you mess with us
And for a minute there I lost myself
I lost myself, Ill say it again
And for a minute there I lost myself
I lost myself, myself myself
Karma police, Ive given all I can
Its not enough, I said Ive given all I can
But were still on, payroll, oh no no
And I just want to say
This is what youll get
This is what youll get
This is what youll get
When you mess with us |
Wish that I could come out of your phone
Superhero powers
Burst out of the sand
With a bunch of flowers
And you just say the word
Apparition comes
With a long and winning
Handsome smile
Wish we could connect
Step into the void
Off the diving board
Blend into the light
Down the cable lines
Roll under the earth
Reforming on the wind
Two places at once
Taste the air with you
Undo all the ties
Wish that I could flip
One of those lies
Lift this all away
See that stretchy smile go
Right across your face
Cut a hole
Cut a hole
A hole
A hole |
Killer cars, cars
Killer cars
Too hard on the brakes again
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they dont get out of the way?
What if theres someone overtaking?
Im going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind and drunk
They wont ever take me alive
Cause they all drive
Dont die on the motorway
The moon would freeze, the plants would die
I couldnt cope if you crashed today
All the things I forgot to say
Im going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
What if the car loses control?
What if theres someone overtaking?
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind and drunk
They wont ever take me alive
Cause they all drive killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind and drunk
No they wont ever take me alive
Cause they all drive killer cars
They all drive killer cars
They all drive killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars
Killer cars |
Seen all the good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so battered and brought to the ground
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
When Im like this
How can you be smiling, singing?
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?
If you walk out the door
Will I see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
When Im like this
How can you be smiling, singing?
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?
I dont want you
I dont want you anymore
I dont want you
I dont want you anymore |
The easiest way to sleep at night
Is to carry on believing that I dont exist
The easiest way to sell your soul
Is to carry on believing that we dont exist
It must be hard, hard
With your head on backwards |
I see you in the dark
Corner of the street
Coming after me, yeah
Headlights on full-beam
Coming down the fast lane
Coming after me, yeah
I would like to change back now
To the shadow of
The shadow of my former self
It follows me around
It follows me around
Did you lie to us Tony?
We thought you were different
Now you know we’re not so sure
Drooling looney tunes
Moving in a swarm
Moving in a swarm
It follows me around
It follows me around
It follows me around
It follows me around
Nowadays I get panicked
I cease to exist
I have ceased to exist
I feel absolutely nothing
The words are out of ink
The words you know are out of ink
You follow me around
You follow me around
Follow me around
Follow me around |
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday Ill wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where youll find me
Oh somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, oh why, oh why cant I? |
I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
And spiders crawl over the bed
I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now Im fat
Yesterdays meal is hugging the plates
You never wash up after yourself |
Dont get any big ideas
Theyre not gonna happen
That thin stewardess
Her skirt in a mess
You dont stand a chance
What do you look like when youre nude
What do you look like when youre nude
What do you look like nude
Soulless reflection
In the other persons eyes
Death bed, first home
Damaged good, subject
Object none
So dont get any big ideas
Theyre not gonna happen
Youll go to hell
For what your dirty mind
Is thinking
What do you look like when youre nude
What do you look like when youre nude
Its weirding me out |
Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone
Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone
It was nice when it lasted but now it’s gone
It was nice when it lasted but now it’s gone
Blow into this paper bag
Take your armour off, you’re not under attack
Take your armour off, you’re not under attack
Come on, come on
Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone
Blow into this paper bag
Go home and stop grinning at everyone
Like they were honeybees or a plague of rats
Take your armour off, you’re not under attack
Blow into this paper bag
Blow into this paper bag |
Little birds on a tree in a line
Little birds on a tree in a line
Little birds on a tree in a line
Little birds on a tree in a line
Little birds on a tree in a line
Little birds on a tree in a line
Little butterflies
Falling on my own thoughts |
I am gone, everybodys raging
And these fruits, they still taste of poison
I wont be around
When you really need me
I cant sleep, why cant someone hold me?
I need warmth, our restless body cracks and moans
I wont have the strength
When you really need me |
What do you want from me, now you got me?
Now my fingers bleed, now they stare at me
Im a coward now
I hold my peace
Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And I twist and turn in a Chinese burn
You wont let go
You wont let go
Youre inside of my head
Inside of my head
What do you want from me, now you got me?
Now my energy, you suck from me
And Im holding on
For dear life
Quit smothering me, quit laughing at me
Ive got a disease, an English disease
It will not go
It will not go
Youre inside of my head
Inside of my head
Whatever you put in that syringe
Whatever you really said to him
Hes sitting there inside of me
And you bother me, you possess me
Youre there again, ahead of me
And I wont let go, I wont let go
Youre inside of my head
Inside of my head
Inside of my head, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Inside of my head |
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 want to 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
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 |
Dressed in bishops robes
Terrifies me still in bishops robes
Bastard headmaster
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back
Children taught to kill
To tear themselves to bits on playing fields
Dressed in bishops robes
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back |
Here it comes, here it comes
I can feel the hills exploding
Exploding gracefully, burning up the freeway
Here it comes
Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
Beautiful kids into beautiful trouble
Well, it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby, burn
Fast Toyota, burns rubber
Useless rockers from England
Good times had by all
Just swallow your guilt and your conscience
Blue and white birds stepping hard on the pedal
Interstate Five runs straight down the middle
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby, burn |
Get, get away
Im no good, I am poison
Leave, leave me be, leave me be
Therell come a time
Youll appreciate my rhyme
Theres no tomorrow, no tomorrow
All around, and I see into you
All around
Living in a glass house
My Disease
I know everything about you, dear
Living in a glass house
Therell... |
Mother Mary come to me
For I am a wicked child
Ive sinned and I am so confused
And I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child
I am the devils son
And I wish I could be good
I walk a crooked mile
Yet I wish I could be good
I wish I could be good
If I couldve kept
On the straight and narrow
If I couldve kept
On the straight and narrow, and not have broke your heart
Not have broke your heart
Now I wake up in the night
Its tugging at my arms and legs like I was a marionette
Send baby Jesus to radiate his light
To radiate his light |
Youre being took for a ride
Plain old lazy
Please keep moving
Better keep moving
Dont fall asleep at the wheel
I waited for you but you never came
Please keep moving
Better keep moving
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic, kinetic

Bummed out again by your only business friend
The smell of fear is thicker than you think
Dont do it, dont jump
Changed shape to fit, in the end, you just feel sick
A million love songs under anaesthetic
Hey, don’t do it, dont jump
Lewis, save yourself the pain
Youll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain
It never really mattered
We never noticed, we never understood
He just get crushed to fit, he never even smiled at the best
Its the best, it’s the best day of your life
Lewis, save yourself the pain
Youll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain
It never really matters
No, I swear, I swear, I swear
Oh, mistreated, a low corporate
Mistreated, a low corporate
I dont want to talk about it
I dont want to talk about it
I dont want to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis
I dont want to talk about Lewis, Lewis, Lewis |
I was born
For your magazine, for your magazine
I am trapped in the society page
Of your magazines, of your magazine
I don’t know what it means
Do you see light
At the end of the tunnel? At the end of the tunnel?
Do you see light
At the end of the tunnel? At the end of the tunnel?
At the end of the tunnel?
Tunnel

Tunnel |
Shake hands, genocide, molasses
Jet powered caravans, molasses
Im too good, youre stuck on
Rent free earthquake zone, molasses
I need someone elses glasses
Starving waitresses in plasters
Fat houseflies, genocide
Weve been stitched up, molasses |
Ive had these jeans since I was born
And now theyre ripped and now theyre torn
And all my friends have skateboards
I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But mom and dad will not give in
And I cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
I cant put the needle in
No, I cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
And now I know just what it is
Its called disease and its got my head
It always runs where I hide
Too scared to talk, too scared to try
Too scared to know the reasons why
And all my friends say bye bye
And I cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
No I cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
And I cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
No I cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in
Cant put the needle in |

Dear Masha and Nadia,
As the one-year anniversary of your trial approaches, we are writing to assure you that, around the world, people are both still thinking of you and working for your release. Although you were the most visible of the protesters, we know that there were many other young people who have suffered in the protests, about whom we are also very concerned. But, in many ways, through your imprisonment, you have come to represent them.
Many artists voiced their concern when these charges were first brought against you, we had every hope that the authorities, in dealing with you, would show some understanding, a sense of proportion, even some of the wonderful Russian sense of humour, but none of the above were forthcoming.
The impact of your shockingly unjust trial and imprisonment has spread far and wide. Especially among your fellow artists, musicians and citizens around the world, including the many parents who feel your anguish at being separated from your children. While understanding the sensitivities of protesting in a place of worship, we ask that the Russian authorities review these harsh sentences, so that you may return to your children, your families and your lives.
The right to freedom of expression and dissent is a legitimate one and essential in any kind of democracy. You have been accused of what could be described as ‘a victimless’ crime, but in our opinion, in a just society, there can be no crime where there is no identifiable ‘victim’.
Your strength, bravery and fearlessness are an inspiration to us all.
Yours in solidarity,

Please can 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! |
I find it hard
To drive your stupid car
I find it hard
Cause I never get that far
And you put my brain in overload
I cant change gear
I cannot see the road
You got concrete eyes
But I cannot see your face
And I failed in life
Cause you crushed me with your hands
And you put my brain in overload
I cant change gear
I cannot see the road, road |
Pararara-pa-pa-pa
Pararara-pa-pa-pa
Pararara-pa-pa-pa
A wishful spit in the eye to
A smiling brotherhood
The unacceptable face of
The docile and the good
A spontaneous feeling
The joy of the uprising
An action with some meaning
A brief release of hope
Yeah if we stand up theyll
Mow us down again
A wishful spit in the eye to
A smiling brotherhood
The unacceptable face of
The docile and the good
A spontaneous feeling
The joy of the uprising
An action with some meaning
A brief release of hope
Yeah if we stand up theyll
Mow us down again
Pararara, pa-pa-pa, pararara, pa-pa-pa
Pararara, pa-pa-pa, pararara, pa-pa-pa, pararara, pa-pa-pa
Pararara, pa-pa-pa, pararara, pa-pa-pa, pararara, pa-pa-pa |
I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I dont have a choice
Anywhere I go
You are always there
Outside the car or in my hair
I think Ive been here before
Yes, Ive been here before
The last time you locked all the doors
And I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I dont have a choice
And yes, I am wary
Yes, I am
I am
Think Ive told you once
Think I needed advice
You were such a help, thats very nice
Think Ive been here before
Yes, Ive been here before
But this time I kick down your door
Yes, I am wary
Yes, I am wary |
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
Beautiful angel
Pulled apart at birth
Limbless and helpless
I cant even recognise you
I think youre crazy, maybe
I think youre crazy, maybe
I think youre crazy, maybe
I think youre crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life |
We can start now, you ready? Yeah we can start now, yeah we can start now, we can start now, yeah. You have to let him start...
This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time
Oh, Ill break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, its got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time
Ill break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, its got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever, forever
Forever, forever
Watching love grow, forever
Watching love grow, forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever
...Thank you very much. Now what? |
Can you hit me with that note?
Should I stop, then?
He was sick of his clock stopping
It winds him up, that girl still
Snoring next to him
He was sick of his excuses
To not take off her dress when
Bleeding in the bathroom
The watch smashed, and he got restless
He sighs in broken English
With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
He was, he was
He was your final fit
Your final bellyache
With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please |
When we realise we are only to die then were out of here
Were just skirting on the surface
We have only to click our fingers and we disappear
Were just skirting on the surface
Dull eyes trying to pull you through the ice
Being drawn to the ledge
When we realise that once were broke then nothing mends
Were just skirting on the surface
When we realise were only held in suspension
Till someone comes along and shakes us
And as the pattern lines cross their fingers like a web
Will we die upon the surface
Dull eyes trying to pull you through the ice
Being drawn to the ledge
When we realise that once were broke then nothing mends
Were just skirting on the surface |
Easy living, easy hold
Easy teething, easy fold
Easy listening, easy love
Easy answers to easy questions
Easy tumble, easy fall
Easy rumble, easy doll
I get up on easy love
I get up on easy questions |
Heard a lot about you
Well, hello
Let me shake you by the hand
Just want to say thank you
At least someone has this whole thing sorted out now
At least someone has got the right idea
My head is clear
I can see through all the dirt now
My eyes are clear
I can put my cigarette out now
Ah, ye
Happy song
Ah, ye
Happy song
Tell me what Im doing when I burn your house down
Tell me what Im doing when I wreck all of your plans
Someones got to know what the hell is going on now
Someones got to know the truth to all of this
My head is clear
I can see through all the dirt now
My eyes are clear
I can put my cigarette out now
Ah, ye
Happy song
Ah, ye
Happy song
Ah, ye
Happy song
Ah, ye
Happy song
Ah, ye
Happy song
Ah, ye
Happy song |
There’s a little child running around this house
And he never leaves, he will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows, in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers
Grow up fast, grow up fast
Anything you want, it can be done
How, how did you go bad?
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad? Did you go bad? |
Was always waiting for the crush
The car to drive right through the shops
To call in sick and late at work
And take a holiday
Was always tangled up in knots
To keep myself from speaking up
But no-ones listening anyway
Theyre just trying to bribe me
And if its alright, then what am I doing here?
And if its alright, this place is gassed by fear
And if its alright, Ill tell you, cause you never understand
And if its alright, Ill beg you, cause Im a begging kind of man
Today I wrote a bad cheque
Packed a bag and took a jet
But no-ones looking anyway
I hope they miss me
I just think maybe Im making a mistake |
I try to be sugar and spice
But I’m melancholy and can’t do anything right
The monsters under my bed keep making noise at night
I just want silence, silence
Bye kids, try this
I sat in front of the teary screen
Sad he’s always screaming at me
They wanna puncture me and then wonder why I bleed
The big city everyone is looking forward
Step on my ladder and bathe in glory
Inject my soul with darkness
And take my heart and go market it
And the past lasts like a tear stain
I’m in the dark pin on the wall
But I don’t see a thing
I write circles in the sky
While I’m drowning, while I’m drowning
I try to be sugar and spice
But I’m melancholy and can’t do anything right
The monsters under my bed keep making noise at night
I just want silence, silence
Bye kids, try this
I’ll bet you think you know, but you’re so close
A million miles away I can hear your thoughts
Predicting motions or your next move
I’m right in front of you, I’m right in front of you
Your mouth is moving but you don’t move
I’m right in front of you, I’m right in front of you
Take a swing at me, I’ll fight till the death
My light is bright
I try to be sugar and spice
But I’m melancholy and can’t do anything right
The monsters under my bed keep making noise at night
I just want silence, silence
Bye kids, try this
I sat in front of the teary screen
Sad he’s always screaming at me
They wanna puncture me and then wonder why I bleed
The big city everyone is looking forward
Step on my ladder and bathe in glory
Inject my soul with darkness
And take my heart and go market it
And the past lasts like a tear stain
I’m in the dark pin on the wall
But I don’t see a thing
I write circles in the sky
While I’m drowning, while I’m drowning |
I may be paranoid
But not an android
I may be paranoid
But not an android |
The family see him as very ugly
AAAGH!!!!
AAAGH!!!!
AAAGH!!!!
AAAGH!!!!
Uhhhhh...
Ahhhhh...
AAAGH!!!! |
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together
Chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Pa sent me money now
Im gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah, yeah, yeah |
okay, for anyone whos still listening
This is a song called I Froze Up
I did
What? Dont distract me.
Youre the light wiping out my batteries
Youre the cream in my airport-coffees
I dont know why I stick with you
If I had a choice
Like lambs into the slaughter
Like cows to the thunderbolt
Youre the Genie of my lamp
I could have been anyone
But one day I froze up
But one day I froze up
But one day I froze up
Like this...
Oh, little boy...
Little boy, little boy
Oh, little boy...
Little boy, little boy
If you try to strangle the skylark
Try to cut it up, to see how it works
Stalactites and stalagmites
Rows of never open doors
Coz one day I froze up
Coz one day I froze up
Coz one day I froze up
Like this...
Colours wont
Colours wont
Colours wont |
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
Oh Lord please wont you tell me
Why must I be the thief
Why must I be the thief
He said to the hanging man
And how come youre the only one
Thats better off, and always stares
Why must I be the thief
He asked of the hanging man
And how come youre the only one
Who gives me an open hand
Why must I be the thief
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man held out his hand
And looked beyond the sky
The thief that climbed the cross
We should have shared that others fate.
But the Jesus man said Not now
My brother, not now, its far too late!
Do what you must
Take what you can
Steal the pride from every heart
Every angered man
I am the thief
I am the thief
And you will run
Yes and you will hide
But Ill get you then
Yes I will
Because of you, because its justified
I will get you yet
Cause its justified
I will get you yet
Its justified
I will get you yet
Its justified |
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby youre the best
I wasnt looking but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Sometimes I wish someone would
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Whyd you have to be so good
The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me
Theres some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running, but just keep it coming
Howd you learn to do the things you do
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Baby, baby
Baby youre the best
Baby youre the best
Baby youre the best
Baby youre the best |
Nothing touches me man
These walls are three feet thick
Wouldnt take one of them little drills
To get through it
I try to make her listen
When I turn away shes split
I try to make her listen
When I turn away shes split
She went..
Nothing touches me now
Nothing touches me now
Nothing touches me man
No matter how you split
Sticks and stones can get through bones
So Ive given up looking out of it
I try to make her listen
When I turn away shes split
I try to make her listen
When I turn away shes split
She went..
Nothing touches me now
Nothing touches me now
Nothing touches me now
Nothing touches me now
Laugh if you can, if you can, if you can, at me now
Laugh if you can, if you can, if you can, at me now
Laugh if you can, if you can, if you can, at me now
Laugh if you can, if you can, if you can, at me now |
Phil? Phil? Can you play the drums please?
Phil: No, I cant
Thom: So we got the professional in now
No heavy petting please, whilst were performing
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 |
Ive been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
I know every crack and crevice out here in Broadway
Where hustles the name of the game
And white boys get washed down the drain
Like the snow and the rain
Took me years of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But Im gonna be where the lights are shining on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse
In a star spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I dont even know
And offers coming over the phone
Well I really dont mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But youre walking these streets so long out here in broadway
And I dream of the things Ill do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked into my shoe
Took me years of compromising
To get to my horizon
But Im gonna be where the lights are shining on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I dont even know
And offers coming over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
And offers coming over the phone |

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
And I don’t know why I feel so tongue-tied
Don’t 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 smart-ass but we all like stars
Wait, that wasnt my intention, I did it for a reason
Shook hands with the cripples and I gave them all milk
And I did a few card tricks for my mafia geeks
I don’t know why I feel so tongue-tied
Thom: Thank you |
Were the orchestra to your board
And we beg for the scraps from your table
All we want is to be like you
Music to play your ___
Pump pumping sounds through the speakers below
Hello
Ive tried so hard to keep still
They will chew you up
They will spit out your bones
Standing in the shadows at the end of the bed
I never said anything
I live a wallpaper life of playing guitar in a band
It seems so volatile
Oh my, oh my
He was a good man
And he said he was the best
They said that even when life spat in his face
He put everything back in its right place
A conflict of interest, you might say
Are you trying to bribe me?
_____ for my sins
We are plants, happy plants
Superhuman builders day
See
____________
I leave you for bitch of _____ and go green
Loved to death like egg mayonnaise
With a grin like roadkill
Fine, lets stay
Everything is alive
There is nothing but blue skies from now on
No ghosts, no skeletons
A man hovers in the dust, dust, dust
Thank you very much, thank you
Everybody drive home safe and carefully tonight
And well see you in our lounge in a few weeks time
Goodnight! God bless!
Lets go home, Jonny |

Come to your senses

Somehow
Your pot of gold
Is locked in boxes
Is locked in a bank vault
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Oh

Come to your senses
Come to your senses

And let me
Come around
Oh how I wish you come to your senses

You pot of gold
Is locked in boxes
Is locked in a bank vault
Behind closed doors

I am the key to locking your dress
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
Youll find you came out where you went in
So tuck the kids in safe tonight
And shut the eyes in the cupboard
I am the weapon that you needed
Keep an eye out for the neighbours
Anyway you turn
Ill be there
Open your skull
Ill be there
Climbing up the walls
I am the club and carving knife
We are friends til we die
You should not walk alone at night
You must show me your care
In the time when the lights go out
I am her face when she sleeps
I cant remember how it happened
Fifteen blows to the brain
I am the face on the news
I will strike when the- I will strike anytime
I will knock fifteen times
I have the smell of a local man
I can strike anytime
I am the pick in the ice in the quiet country lanes
I am the newspaper round
I am the eyes in the cupboard
I am the creak in the floorboards
I am the crack of the hammer
Overhead powerlines
I am the old, frightened
I am the years, ever... poording
Ever parading |
