I used to feeling alright, I'm used to being alone
I'm used to staying out nights without a-having a phone
and now you're well in my life, I never saw you arrive
CHORUS:
woah shit, you got through! I suppose I l...
my friends are out of the view, you're making dinner for two
you're always keeping in touch, you say I'm drinking too much
you got me lying with ease, I'm only keeping the peace
CHORUS:
woah shit, you got through! I suppose I love...
woah yeah!...
Rock And Roll!...
I wanna see some hands!...
[we're gonna rock] the whole world!
a-there's a lot of trust, and there's a lot of ties
well there's a lot of girls out there and there's a lot of guys
so why's it got to be us who's gotta jump on the bus?
CHORUS:
woah shit, you got through! I suppose I...
Monday comes crashing in and all the world looks grey again
faces on the train seem grim when yesterday the same were smiling
another week to kill, another week where time stands still
and shuffling masses feel the chill that comes with their routine
the working scene...
crawled out of bed and then I turned on MTV again
to watch the same songs I can't stand: they sing of love and being happy
look there's another one that sounds just like the other one
the video without a song is being a famous whore
frustrates me more
CHORUS:
but at the weekend, well everything will be okay
at the weekend (darling)
at the weekend, I'll tell the world that for five long days I've been wanting to say
(wanting to say, yeah yeah)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion
or rain or shine I'm waiting at the frontline
I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it
and I'll be dying to change, I'll be dying change my ways
'cos I've been dry for 5 long days
I'll put the world to right, I'll fly like Superman in flight
I'll eat the day and drink the night and everyone will be there with me
this week I've seen it through on auto-pilot just like you
and now there's nothing left to do 'cept anything at all
let's hit the wall
CHORUS
At the weekend, baby baby at the weekend
at the weekend, at the weekend
at the weekend, baby baby at the weekend
at the weekend⦠rock, rock, rock, roll

Turn the radio down
Turn the radio down, down
Vanilla Radio
Down with the music go-round
Down with the music go-round-round
Vanilla Radio
Vanilla Radio
Vanilla Radio
Remember radio?
Being lost in the audio?
I want my radio:
Where's my Elvis?
All that the kids will allow
All that the kids will allow, now
Vanilla Radio
So turn the radio down
Turn the radio down, down
Vanilla Radio
gift given time, gift given time open to changes in bearing
press covered lies, press covered hearsay, conjecture as detail
set image plan, set image plan owing to rank in the scene
CHORUS:
well I'll try, I guess, I'll never be affected like a bigshot
I'll never get the money that they got, and I'll be smiling much longer
and I'll try to see the one last theory on starlust, I'll dine on water and pie-crust
I'll make some sense if it kills me, and I'll be smiling on (V-Day)
tight little line, keep weak and smile, you could be part of the dream, boys
ten second span, ten second stay, rope in and wheel out around you
forgotten pride, stuck making a meal out of a smile and a hairstyle
CHORUS
gift given time, victory is mine, merit and worth, keeping still, keeping strong
covered past, sowing rage, deaden pain, give a shit, zero one, breakdown, flatline
CHORUS
and I'll be smiling on V-Day (x3)
eureka, eureka, eureka, the cheaper alternative
let's steal now, let's steal now, let's steal from the fashions with a [not to kill]
a [dealing, a dealing], a blow job for every corporate executive
a-when the lights go out it's you and [palace seats at home ]and turns around
you'll be there in your dressing-gown and sowing all the seams
be a [summer toth bath] 'cos you've gotta go free, you've got a backstage pass so you're V.I.P.
I bet you're happy right now but where will you be
when they ask you to beg for the cash you demand and you wake at a song 'cos it's all second-hand
so bleed it, so bleed it, so bleed like you need it, your free 60 seconds of fame
[they've seen it, they've seen it, they've seen all of bleed on the back of] again
but if you miss something don't look around there ain't no time you're losing ground
they own your flesh by pound by pound those cunts you chose to leave
CHORUS:
(it's) the cheapest thrill, and it's the quickest meal, try underkill
it's the cheapest thrill, it's the quickest meal
try underkill (x4)
(x2)
it's the cheapest thrill, and it's the quickest meal, try underkill
([a-when you don't keep still] try underkill) (x12)
I'll do anything, a-just as long as I feel
[we'll be big, tall, Nelson, live to fame]
be a rock'n'roll star [but a formula laid]
[we'll be big, tall, Nelson, live to fame]
and let's split, with the cash
(we only did it 'cos we're broke...)
(do-do do-do do-do do-do do do (x6))
and I'm fine, getting by, I only think about you once in awhile
that was then, not today, you never listened to a word I'd say
I kept faith, gave you trust, I gave you friendship and it's never enough
give me time, give me space, give me the line that we had when we knew our place
so try to make it easy on yourself, it'll work okay
just last week as I was cleaning shit from off my shelf
CHORUS:
I found a photograph of someone I knew
someone like you, someone like me
I found a photograph of someone I knew, someone like you used to be
(do-do do-do do-do do-do do do (x4))
you get wise, you get old, you stop believing in opinions you're sold
heaven knows, you're [devine], you've got your fingers in the public mind
and then shock!, open wire, you've got your dick a little close to the fire
you're an asshole, again, and now you're back to where your learning that the problem isn't them
so try to make it easy on yourself, it'll work okay
but just last week as I was getting close to someone else
CHORUS
used to be (x5)
(ra-raa-ra-raa)
(do-do do-do do-do do-do do do (x6))
so stop. and make it easy on yourself, it'll work OK
'cos no-one hates a fuck up 'less they're all fucked up themself
CHORUS
I'm living on a land-mine
my body's ticking away, my cartoon eyelids
and my skin, a sickly grey
and if I waited by the 'phone line
I'd wait a couple of days so I'm here lying
on my bed, until I fade
I flick the channels one to one, I flick them through again
and all the time I'm dreaming better days
CHORUS:
and now I see no sun, I see no life behind my one-track mind
here I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design
move along I'm working on my 3-D TV tan
softso KO - I need another show
softso KO - it's just a part of the plan
softso KO - there's only me and my TV Tan
some day maybe I'll call you
I'll see whenever I'm free.. maybe Tuesday, when there's nothing on TV
20 Regal and a 4-pack
I guess I'm set for the night and anti-social, to keep in shape, thin and white
I light a smoke, and in'tween tokes, consult the TV guide
the bible for the pig who stays inside
CHORUS
thinning, I'm thinning and insanely grinning
and fools peering
out of my TV try hard to be funny
unfortunate for me
they start to entertain ye
I'm living on a land-mine, the kind that never ignites
and I'm here waiting, here for nothing...
do you remember British achievement, and living when times were good?
watching the start of the end of an era, would you go back if you could?
when I was younger, the smell of the hunger, in all of the music you played
kept me believing you lived for the lifestyle and not just the cash to be made
'cos it's a place where people happen, it's the corner of success
everybody loves you, and you're never second best
the smell of easy money, and you follow it to death
I smell⦠the shit⦠upon your breath
CHORUS:
I remember you when you were an Englishman
but now you're turning American, turning American
(x2)
walking away from the crumbling empire
won't make it grow anymore
changing your style 'cos the radio tells me
how can you sleep? you're a commercial whore
and you'd lick the steaming phallus if it'd offered you a hit
clean you of integrity and then they'll make you fit
you think you'll glide to stardom then you'll show them what you've got
your pride, your balls, they own your lot
CHORUS
I want to be American, I want to be a star
you should be over there, you should go far
but I don't want to learn 'cos I know it all now
you should be guaranteed to find out how
you'll always be a wanna be, you look too far away...
'cos it's a place where people happen, it's the corner of success
everybody loves you and you're never second best
the smell of easy money, and you follow it to death
I smell⦠the shit⦠upon your breath
[Ginger]
I've got a feeling of an
Afterglow and the second
That the sorrow goes
Will breed a new career
And I wanna open up my eyes
And see, 'cos the agony and
Ecstasy look all the same
From here
You don't get no view
Like you do on the top
Of the world the top of the
World, where the sky's so blue
And the girls are so beautiful
You don't get no view
Like you do on the top
Of the world the top of the
World, where the sky's so blue
And the girls are so beautiful
And times where the heaven
Is a mile away and it's looking
Like it's there to stay unlikely
To remain and I got a list of
Things I'm working on:
I'll be working on No.1
I hope you do the same
You don't get no view
Like you do on the top
Of the world the top of the
World, where the sky's so blue
And the girls are so beautiful
You don't get no view
Like you do on the top
Of the world the top of the
World, where the sky's so blue
[Ginger]
Well, I'd forgotten how lonely being alone can be
And now I'm finding it out well, I've been hiding a
Memory that's coming to get me coming back: and how
Because there's only one hell you can put me through
You can't hurt me more than you already do
Well, I'd forgotten the strength it takes to make
It through and boy, I got the joy of that now oh boy
I got the joy of that now
Well, I'd forgotten how lonely being alone
Can be, it never hit me before, well, I've been
Over the edge, and I've been out on the ledge
But you can always hurt a little more
Because there is only on hell you can put me through
You can't hurt me more than you already do, I used to
Hate myself until I found you and boy, I got the joy of
That now oh boy! I got the joy of that now
Set me free just how much blood do you need?
Set me free 'cos I remember the journey
I'd just forgotten how lonely
Well, I'd forgotten being alone can
Be and now I'm finding it out. Though I was
Over the worst until the fantasy burst and
Now I'm picking myself off the ground
But there is only one hell you can put me through
It's the same old place that I already knew
Well, I'd forgotten the true definition of blue
And boy, I got the joy of that now
Oh boy, I got the joy of that now
she's always busy caring 'cos that's all she's ever done
she's a thousand Florence Nightingales all rolled up into one
and (well) people take advantage but she loves her fellow friend
with a slow, slow count from ten...
when strangers die around her she still cries herself to sleep
and she seldom gets the chance to pick the company she keeps
and the ring around her finger is a ring around her past
and a youth that couldn't last
when people ask if she's OK she doesn't even answer
her mind is set on auto-think, for heaven knows how long
with the body of an angel and the features of a child
CHORUS:
she's miles and miles and miles and miles away
she's the miles away girl, 'cos she's the miles away girl
and she slaps miles and miles of smiles on every face
she's the miles away girl, she's the miles away girl
she's the miles away girl, right next to (me)
she send a men to slumber-land with just one little kiss
her silence is refreshing and her honesty is bliss
she's probably clairvoyant but she never had the call
but that's not long at all...
her head's up with the stars because she knows that's where she's heading
the good guys think she's different the rest just think she's weird
she doesn't eat, she doesn't sleep, she's thinking all the while
CHORUS
and maybe you're the angel I knew that you could be
well that must be the reason you bring out the devil in me
deep under the covers, an easy place to hide
and imagine the world isn't really going on outside
but you never seem to have any money 'cos the decent people never get paid
but there's never really ever a problem' cos you can get miles away, miles away, miles away
feel a little too white, my chin's a little too tight
I've got a mouth and I'm pissed, don't gotta sit on your wrist
[... funk], hell, it's Marley and punk
guess I'm a little unhip to be on that kinda trip
we sing, we dance you can see the whites of our [pants]
we [rock] like we stay got no [...] out of LA
[...] in the monster raving party
'cos it's hard to be proud in the all-American home boy crowd
CHORUS:
[beat it!]
(all-American home boy crowd)
(all-American home boy crowd)
(all-American home boy crowd) can we be walking the [..], can we be talking aloud?
we're the all-American home boy crowd, check it!
[.. down], why they colour them brown
check out the shoes that I wear, throw me a five in the air
we dance, we sing, we confuse our culture and dream
we learn as we're allowed in the all-American home boy crowd
I forget that we be just as English as mustard and tea
'cos it's hard to be proud in the all-American home boy crowd
CHORUS:
British...
(all-American home boy crowd) sing it
(all-American home boy crowd) I wanna see some hands
(all-American home boy crowd) and electric guitar
(all-American home boy crowd) there's [...] there's wankers
(all-American home boy crowd) don't be [dissing] our hats now
(all-American home boy crowd) bang it, bang it!
(all-American home boy crowd) a-do you know what you are?
(all-American home boy crowd) you are what you is

Some live for the bill
Some kill for the bill
She wined for the bill
Grind for the bill
(and she used to be the sweetest girl)
Some steal for the bill, if they got to pay they bill
(and she used to be the sweetest girl)
Tonight Wyclef, Akon, Weezy and Nia
[Verse 1: (Wyclef Jean)]
High school she was that girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she's a 10)
High school she was that girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she's a 10)
Never thought she would come and work for the president
Mr. George Washington (where my money at?)
She thought he'd call (where my money at?)
She had a good day, bad day, sunny day, rainy day
All she wanna know is (where my money at?)
Closed legs don't get fed, go out there and make my bread
All you wanna know is (where my money at?)
She ended up in a road car, bruised up, scarred hard
All you wanna know is (where my money at?)
She thought he'd call (where my money at?)
[Chorus: (Akon) ] (x2)
Cos I'mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin' dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin' dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
[Verse 2: (Akon)]
Pimpin' got harder cos, hoes got smarter
On the strip is something they don't wanna be a part of
Rather be up in the club shakin' for a thug
For triple times the money and spending it how they wanna
They got they mind on they money, money on they mind
They got they finger on the trigger, hand on the nines
See everyday they feel the struggle, but staying on they grind
And aint nobody takin from us, and thats the bottom line
But I know there's a drop in the block
You move slow
You getting' pressure from cops
you don't know not to lay low
Because 25 to life is no joke
To all my real gorillas thuggin'
On top of corners every day strugglin'
All the beautiful women getting' money
Washin' them dollar bills like laundry
[Chorus: (Akon) ] (x2)
Cos Ima tell you like Wu told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin dollar dollar bill yall (dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
[Bridge: (Wyclef Jean)]
Money, money-money-money
Money, money-money-money
It drives the world crazy
[Verse 3: (Lil Wayne)]
(Weezy) She used to be (she used to be the sweetest girl)
She used to be the sweetest girl ever
Now she like sour ameretta
She wears a dress to the T like the letter
And if you make it rain she will be under the weather
She used to run track back in high school
Now she tricks off the track right by school
She takes a loss cos she don't wanna see her child lose
So respect her, I'll pay up for the time used
And then she runs to the pastor
And he tells her there will be a new chapter
But she feels no different after
And then she asks him
[Chorus: (Akon) ] (x2)
Cos Ima tell you like Wu told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin dollar dollar bill yall (dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
[Outro: (Wyclef Jean)]
Some live for the bill
Some kill for the bill (where my money at?)
She wined for the bill
Grind for the bill (where my money at?)
Some steal for the bill, if they got to pay the bill (where my money at?)
[clouded/crying] grey and blue my mind is ten miles high and rising
misty waters calling down surrounding me with healing
to rise, to climb above the chaos, and wash away the filth
to hide inside my reason, the only one I need
and all I can remember is all I can forget
to taste you is to trust you
CHORUS:
I'm hitting that high, I'm hitting that highâ¦
leave me be man I just wanna be on my own (x2)
I've got [sickness/secrets] in my head, I got spiders in my bed, I said
leave me be man I just wanna be on my own
twist myself around the wreathing corridors around me
embryo I am my mother smothers me in safety
my own, I could be here beside you, in sickness and in health
A drink is all I needed
CHORUS
I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming
down (x3)
can't believe that I got so down I dropped my guard again hit me! hit me!
palpitations and goo-goo eyes, the transformation is sad and sickly
she pulled out a "Tyson" from out of the blue, and met with a sickening crunch
CHORUS:
she got me... woah, she got me
she got me... with a suckerpunch
senses reeling from too much shit, I hit the floor again, panic, panic!
calm and cold as a witches tit, sometimes I think I act cosmically
with all of the shit that flew out of my lips, there's no use in asking much
CHORUS:
she got me... woah, she got me
she got me... with a sucker... sucker... sucker... waah, you fucker!
(one... two... three... four...)
{mosh!}
why I see her face in a million stars, I'm wondering
thought I had good taste 'til I found I'd none at all
nearly did appear as the asshole of the year
and then she strikes...
and now I'm back, the guy I've been, before the idiot sat in
can't believe that I got so down, it probably happens on a daily basis
many millions of messed up minds compete to win in the loser races
peeling my mind like she's one of a kind, or maybe just out to lunch
CHORUS:
she got me... woah, she got me
play, relax, enjoy 'cos we're frying tonight again
it's raw, unclean, uncut and it's all for the art of pain
just make-up there the effects and the movies that twist the brain
my TV screen is dripping red, with gates of hell and evil dead
I cannot wait to see it up close so slice away and go for gross again
CHORUS:
it's splattermania, it's extra censored thrills
it's splattermania, it's zoom in on the kill
it's splattermania, I know you think I'm ill
but if you hold on tight and don't be shy
we're drilling brains and pulling eyes
it isn't real, the nation ain't in danger
it's only splattermania
Lucio, you're back, how we missed you when you were gone
oh now it's time to splat like you did in the full beyond
c-c-c-counting down the sickest ways to slice and dice your teenage brain
in trauma-ville the violence mounts to multiply the body count again
CHORUS
splattermania, splattermania, SPLATTERMANIA-yeh-yeh
high rolling
mmm...
'cos everyone's looking for someone to blame
censorship rules, still the problem remains
(you) watch with your eyes closed and still you complain
'til no-one has an independent thought in their brain
and it's always the same
CHORUS
headfucked and hate filled,
try to talk to the imbecile
where can I go for a conversation?
sinking in because of apathy,
shoot the bullets of misogyny
ain't gonna settle down with the alienation
so I try and I try and I see no reply
it's a downtime, so what do you know
downtime, so what do you know
downtime, so what does it show about me?
chorus:
I need a
different kind of love, you know that it's true
different kind of love, yeah I'm speaking to you
set to break at the pressure point, lose the asshole in another joint
where can I go for a class reunion?
from our birth is it really worth soul searching on the planet Earth
with the guts to fight for a peace communion?
so I tried and I tried just to open me eyes
it's a downtime, so what do you know
downtime, so what do you know
downtime, so where do we go from here?
chorus
and I figure...
yeah, I'll see ya
I've gotta different kind of empathy
I've gotta different kind of chemistry
I've gotta different kind of happening
I've gotta different kind of everything
chorus:
I gotta
different kind of love, you know that it's true
different kind of love, I've got it bigger than you
different kind of love, I think you know that it's true
different kind of love, yeah I'm talking to you
you gotta different kind of need to fix
(Yeah, nice one [done]...)
there's a light in my room so that it's always night or day
I know that being responsible will help me find my way
well⦠I'd swim an ocean to be around it
but I've been swimming since the age I found it
the sweet affliction, people are different
feeling my head is my home (head is my home), better than feeling alone
CHORUS:
there's something weird (x3)
there's something weird going on in my head
there's something weird (x2)
there's something weird going on in my head, something weird going on in my⦠head
take me away from all the silence and the pain
far from the growing ring of greed and personal gain
well⦠I'd find a shelter, I'd be an outlaw
to dry myself off from the bullshit downpour
don't need a reason, you don't deserve one
just my amnesia time (easier time), 'cos in the back of my mind
CHORUS:
there's something weird (x3)
there's something weird going on in my head
there's something weird (x2)
there's something weird going on in my head
I never knew I could leave here
I never knew it was so easy
well I never knew it, I never knew I could fly
{2112 Rush-like bit!}
Hey-Hey-Hey!
wooah, yeah...
I'd swim an ocean to be around it
but I've been swimming since the age I found it
the sweet affliction, I think you're different
feeling my head is my home (head is my home), better than feeling alone
CHORUS:
there's something weird (x3)
there's something weird going on in my head
there's something weird (x2)
there's something weird going on in my head
(x3)

Days stuck in the memory, and the nights in doubt
I need somebody friendly when the lights go out
I ain't too crazy about Elvis but I'm sure there's a few in Memphis
And I don't know about Jesus but I'd still walk the waters between us
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
Someone who won't let me go
I sit back and imagine all the dots connect
I get stuck in a backspin when I least expect
Is she feeling this lonely? Is it worse then anybody in history?
Is she thinking "If only I could find someone I wanted to kiss me"?
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
Someone who won't let me go
Go and do something that I'm gonna regret
Gonna make me think I'm cool
Gonna teach me just like school
Gonna make me feel I truly am the best
That I can get
Days stuck in the memory, and the nights in doubt
I need somebody friendly when the lights go out
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
Someone who won't let me go
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
And all of my life I've been looking for someone
Someone who won't let me go
[Ginger, Jagdhar]
I like your big decisions
But I love the way you change your mind
I like your strength of vision
But I love the way that love is blind
I like that you've got bigger balls that almost all of
The Special Forces
And I need you leaving me like UFO's need horses
So into you
I like when you've got opinions
But I love that you never take a side
I like that you ain't into millions
But I love that you expect me to provide
I like the way you make me feel
And if this ain't real, then I ain't breathing
And I love that you've given me exactly what
I was needing
So into you
I like your calm dependence
And I like your way with patience
I like your understanding
But I love what you're demanding
I like your taste in outfits
But I love your taste in misfits
And I know that when the shit fits
The toughest teeth grit: 'Cos this is it
honesty will set you free but individuality is wonderland
the greatest gift provided, kept inside in case no-one understands
add animal instinct here
when all is settled and done there's just empathy chains
the crowd was second to none but the memory remains
CHORUS:
in lilly's garden (x2)
some are small and some were smaller
wise above the size but they're all in here (but they're all in here)
the need of company, condition free and wanting me when I was near
and down beneath the ground waters meet
in the confusion of friendship they don't let you down
to break the future in gently, they're always around
CHORUS:
when I am lonely, when I am blue, when I am crying tears over you
I just get rolling, I just get by, sky chaser high, hi-hi-hi-high
ten in the morning 'til late in the night, whatever time, feeling all right
I don't get lonely, I don't even try, I just get high - sky chaser high
(oo-la la la, -la la la, -la la la, -la la la, dooo - waaah)
I hope and I pray that maybe one day I'll see it as legally mine
(oo-la la la, -la la la, -la la la, -la la la, dooo - waaah)
but Blair don't got a prick, and Major sucks dick, isn't no wonder it's seen as a crime?
so if you're thinking of someone to kill, just take a line, just take a pill
you don't want no prison, you don't wanna die, get sky chaser high, hi-hi-hi-high
back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes, and everyone drinks and everyone smokes
no-one speaks 'less there's something to say, there's no posh words just telecommunique
back on my planet you cannot tell lies, 'cos everyone would see it by the look in your eye
parties that last for a couple of days, no one sleeps cos beds are prohibited
back on my planet, silence is granted
we're laughing at the earthlings
back on my planet, back on my planet
(and meanwhile)
back on my planet where dinosaurs roam, and uncut TV beaming into your home
as Mother Nature being eager and free, money don't talk just givin' ability
back on my planet, rules are all slanted
we're tokin' to be broken
back on my planet, back on my planet, back on my planet...
take a trip down an open road, all the eyes on an evening star
gets to move a bit closer to the ground, like night at play
wanna know what I need to know, wanna see that we ain't in charge
where the superpowers will try to run it down
all alone, you're not alone
'cos it's a meeting time for a different neighbour,small and slight and grey
something going on, something going on, something going on...
look into those eyes, it comes as no surprise
it's little more than science fiction the government replies
they could be taking our daughters, they could be taking our ladies, making
sky babies, sky babies, sky babies
I, I'm looking at the sky tonight, everything clear defined, just like the last time
all ideas inside my head, anything like a real one?
I'm looking from the floor tonight, weary of humankind
tired of the chains that bind, wasting time on diatribe
and all the time the walls are closing in, I'm feeling stuck inside again
with something more divine than suicide, more generous than faith
cos when I get to see a new sun arive, I'll be myself, blame it on the other side
I'll slip away, I'll do it with ease, I'll take a cheap seat, please...
CHORUS:
'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
so won't you take me with you when you go?
and there's a million feelings I wanna show
if you take me with you when you go
yesterdays dreams don't mean nothing it seems, 'cos the big life keeps them waiting
and the people we find with a polythene mind, they just don't care at all
and the [halcyon] days of innocence stays as a memory plays it one more
time, here today, gone tomorrow
this is it in layman's terms, phenomenon of UFOs
is well acknowledged by the state but secret to the president
employed to be a public face and keep the public feeling safe
but higher powers in the government hide something a million times
the size of the killing of JFK, the CIA are aware that higher
powers exist with untold knowledge of life and death dimension, it could
alter public awareness of religion, which is the only faith
that keeps us all in true control, and that's why we can never know...
they're shaking, and they're fucking us again
'cos you're the on-ly one thing I-wanna... know
CHORUS:
so won't you take me with you when you go?
and there's a million feelings I wanna show
if you take me with you when you go
'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
if you take me with you when you go
and there's a million feelings I wanna show
if you take me with you when you go
waking up with an 8.2
when it seemed like the easiest thing to do
when someone said "here's one for you!"
mouth's so dried and I just spit ash
in a hole in my pocket full of wasted cash
but it's all right it was just bad stash
"jump inside" he said, [I tried/I'll try], "I never met a junkie that I didn't like" said he
and who am I to disagree? {sometimes "I think I'm gonna disagree" live, apparently}
CHORUS:
(oh,) how can you stay when you're 60 million miles away?
how can you fly when you're (home) free?
and(/oh) how can you feel when your mind's made up like a will of steel?
how can you deal in your tree?
sick of ecstasy
kicked in bad and you got too low
to be down in a company you don't know
said 'come on in got a right good blow'
yeah, talking, talking the whole world's clear
until a guy with a goatee got a touch of fear
which went round the room like diahorea
bored with this, I'm bored with that
I'm stuck in bed alone with a-you know what
no rest, with a heart beating outta your chest
CHORUS
sick of LSD
CHORUS (x2)
top to tail with good advice
to get to know me, if I could only be
a little bit more like Jesus Christ
is that so easy? you know the lady likes
passion wisdom wealth and wonder, custom made at retail price
it all sounds good to me, and it'll happen naturally
CHORUS:
if ya...
show a little love, show a little emotion, it ain't a sin to be crying
show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe
(maybe)/('n you can) show a little love for (me)
take one chance you could be right
so what's your problem? you're only softening at the
pressures of one more lonely night
but that's so easy, we know the lady likes
pleasures found in downtown places, whisky straight and drugs for free
where the folks don't really care, but there's a sense of style you share
CHORUS
you say you're mine, but you don't show it
you say I'm blind, and man I know it
but I can show my feelings aloud without the fear of splitting with the crowd
so baby, don't say you love me
because you're scared of giving friendship 'case you never get it back
mistaking independence for the courage that you lack
and you're terrified of missing out on changes in your scene
so you cling on to your status like some life-support machine
because weakness is too feminine, you dress up like a boy
'til you get so fucking down, you forget what girls enjoy
you'll realise a compromise was not what they said it would be
so why don't you show me...
come on
show a little love, show a little emotion, it ain't a sin to be crying
show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convict you.
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convince you.
You might make most of them believe you, but not me;
I have got your number.
I'm on you like a shadow.
I follow your every lie.
It ain't me that's catching your disease.
Uh-huh, your eyes are saying one thing.
Your mouth is saying another thing.
You think you're going to cut me down to size?
Ah ah, 'cos I'm in the middle of your little enterprise.
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convict you.
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convince you that she's all that...
She's all that (x3)
All eyes are buying into you and your disguise,
and you can paralyse every guy you see.
You're good, but there ain't no flies on me.
You should know by now that there ain't no guarantees.
Uh-huh, using up your time,
walking on a thin line thinking that you're gonna get across.
Ah ah, 'cos I'm gonna party when they nail you to the cross.
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convict you.
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convince you that she's all that...
She's all that (x3)
You're gonna get it when you don't see it coming (x3)
You're gonna get it baby...
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convict you.
She's all that, she's all that, she's all that it takes to convince you that she's all that...

passing information, now I'm waiting at the station for the train
fools that threw their mouths about with nothing more to do than pass the blame
seems there isn't any reason to remain, yeah
second, third and fourth hand words their twisted lips spit out the same old lies
on and on the grapevine gathers, anyone who needs that kind of high
those whose tired little lies ain't worth the time, yeah
and it's shame on me, if it's all the same to you
all the time I see someone try to put the blame on me
and once upon a time, so pure and crystalline
the sounds would change to what the mood defined
it didn't play a role, it just said bare the soul
and then we left it up to crowd control
without a code of dress within the fold
then I heard somebody shout: "hair is in, now it's out
there is no exception to the rule"
showbiz personalities have become authorities, so...

why not just play the bastard anyway?

those that wait to twist the knife from the other side of life
trying to gain some access into yours
oh, but would you be in theirs, shouting orders from your chair, well?

Rooting For The Bad Guy
Wyle E Coyote, Cybermen, Tony Montana, Yosemite Sam, Sylvester the Cat, The Triffids, The Fly.
Put 'em in lights, put 'em in lights.
Falcon Eddie, Doctor Phibes, Captain Hook, Frankenstein, Chupacabra, Bonnie & Clyde.
Put 'em in lights, put 'em in lights.
Here in the dark while the hero is cheered I give my heart when the villain appears.
Chorus
I wanted Tweety Pie crucified.
I'm rooting for the bad guy.
I wanted Thunderbirds Kentucky Fried.
I'm rooting for the bad guy.
Zombies, Jaws and Mysterons.
Fu Manchu and Mr Burns.
Poison Ivy, Mr Hyde.
Put 'em in lights, put 'em in lights.
Pictures of dying going nationwide, while they're cold and hungry on the streets outside.
Broken promises make broken homes.
And they're all queuing up for a government loan.
Pledging your millions off a TV screen while the shit on your doorstep remains uncleaned.
Who said charity begins at home?
And you're all holding out for a government loan.
Chorus
And while your final trace of faith is being crucified, and while your only means of escaping fear is suicide.
Give us hope.
You arrive alone and you die alone.
You buy their trust so you trust their war, that's what they're paid to lead your Country for.
A flag and a pension and a marble stone supplied and provided by the government loan.
Pill dependence under private health while the rest of the world are medicating themselves.
The only guarantee is when we open our eyes this revolution will be televised.
I'm standing at the edge of the world.
There's chaos in the city as the capitol burns.
I'm calling, calling.
I'm standing at the gates of the west where the doors open wide for the American Express and I'm calling, calling.
I'm standing in the ghost of the town, looking up in the hope someone's looking back down.
I'm calling, calling.
I'm standing with my back to the wall and the sign in my head is I'll be dead before I'm gonna fall.
Calling, calling.
I'm standing at the edge of the world.
There's chaos in the city as the capital burns.
I'm calling, calling.
I'm standing at the gates of the west where the door is open wide for the fashionably dressed and I'm calling, calling.
I'm standing here looking at you.
red light, you're lonely, and nobody caresâ¦
I'm tired of hanging round, I'm tired of this old town, and trying to run me up a million ways
I want to take a trip, get on a rocket ship, I'll be a satellite in fourteen days
I take a pack of paracetamol, then I can wait around and feel it all
or I can take some time to get a grip on my mind
take a walk outside, maybe just keep walking at a

Coming on strong, moving along
Taking a dive, being alive
Found us away - climbing up a rainbow
Ending the day - at a place we all know
Pass it around - hitting on the wall now
Never look down - that's the way it all does
One step outside everything is feeling alright one
Step inside everything is coming alive one step
Outside everything is feeling alright
Open a line, see what you find
Get it today, give it away
How many time - gonna be your last try
Too many crimes - did you pay the toll
Loving all night - synfetic can't stop
Touching the sky - didn't lose control
One step outside everything is feeling alright one
Step inside everything is coming alive one step
Outside everything is feeling alright
Look away, now run away, now turn away
From all our faces
One step outside everything is feeling alright one
Step inside everything is coming alive one step
Outside everything is feeling alright

It's only love
That keeps you going when you're far away
It's only love
And it keeps on growing
Deeper every day
It's only love that makes the world go 'round
And when you're feeling down
It picks you up, and gives you all the strength you're needing
Still you're feeling
Still believe in love
Its making you feel it
Only love, that's making you need it
Only love that's making you feel that you believe it
And a lifetime ain't enough
It's only love
That makes a bridge that closes up the miles
It's only love
That'll leave you feeling helpless as a child
It's only love that makes the world go 'round
And makes you glad you found a reason enough
To keep you going, keep believing
Keep you in the light you feel in love
Its making you feel it
Only love, that's making you need it
Only love that's making you feel that you believe it
[Ginger]
The one, the where, the why
The home below the sky
The only thing that men will sing about throughout the world
One love, one life and one girl
The light you gave to me that even I can see
If beauty shines like a precious stone
Then you're the only pearl
One love, one life, one girl
And maybe there'll be times it seems the height is too big to climb for two
And maybe there'll be days where we forget it's just a phase to get through
And we always make it through 'cos we always do
We always do
The one, the where, the why
That all is measured by
The toughest fall when beauty calls and see how small we curl?
I've had a drink and a smile in every port of heaven
And from 5 on the dial I'm at 8, 9, 10 and 11
I gotta find a way
I gotta fix me a buzz
I've got a pain like a pain
And I want it to stay
Could be mine, could be yours
Could be there any time I want
Nurse, make me well
I come here straight from hell so the ground is yours
I've been through anger, peace and honesty
And all I got was patience â yes I did
But the good's getting better
And the bad are merely minor frustration
I've got to find a way to keep the way I find
'Coz the chances are good that it won't let you down
Like maybe drinking with keef
Or seeing Dolly Parton's tits
Nurse, make me well
De-louse me, clean me up 'til I'm free to go
keep it maximum
File under 'Lost in the truth somewhere'
And you'll find me
I got my hate, and my fear, and my hang-ups
Here to remind me
I gotta climb my way
I gotta kick the crust
I've got to make like I do, like I always did
Keeping time for the kind not designed to waste time
Nurse, make me fine
Remind me that there's never been a better time to be alive
â¦To the better times
â¦To the best times
â¦To the bed times
â¦This sheet is getting sticky
in the trials of my youth, on my way to being man
there was caustic words of ill advice I'd never understand
but their hometown dreams were shattered when ambition foiled their plans
but you can't be the one who tries, they love to criticise, I know⦠or at least they'll try
CHORUS:
come on
laughing is all that I can do, trying to keep from falling through
nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
they all got advice to give 'cos they've got no life to live
nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
nothing ever changes but the shoes
in my one man crusade doing what I knew was right
they would tempt me with the honest sweat of labour, love and life
and they only find respect for you if you give up the fight
but you can't be the one who tries, they'll cut you down to size, I know⦠or at least they'll try
CHORUS
I....want to be there when you say you're wrong
I....want to be there when you crawl
I....wouldn't piss on your opinion
and if I stand on top of the world then maybe I'll find somebody I know, and if I don'tâ¦
Warm and dark and the moon is low
I try to think of a better place
I'd like to go
All alone in a room of rest
The kind of night that I almost hope
Would never end
Up in bed with my night songs
Summer fun with the radio on
Up in bed with my night songs
Feeling right where nothing's wrong
Nothing could be this good
Nothing here ever could
well I pushed on that button but that button was on too tight - right!
that kind of bull shines morning, noon and night
then, I get to see her face again, well that sweet Nita Nitro, she's locos tambien
should I go? should I stay? should I have another try? why?
don't try rules 'cos they do not apply
then, well I get a message from a friend, (well) that sweet Nita Nitro, she's locos tambien
CHORUS:
Nita Nitro say goodbye to everything we knew
'cos I don't feel like crying (oo-oo-ooo-oo) and though I may stop trying
Nita Nitro say goodbye to all that we held true
say goodbye to the Rock and Rolls and welcome to the Blues
that you swore you'd never show Nita Nitro (woo-oo-ooo), Nita Nitro (woo-ooo)
well there is nothing like a person who reminds you of yourself
if you wish you were anybody else
then, when you get all alone again, well sweet Nita Nitro, you're locos tambien
CHORUS
[Ginger]
A world awaits an icon to make a connection
A mother complex begs stellar direction
He's taking the chair
He's living the life
He's fucking pretty girls every night
But he ain't fucking the wife
And he's doing the things we'll never do and he's genuine
Judging by the size of his crew
With a face the eye can easily digest
He's down with the big boys and up there with the big best
A Lennon, A Presley, a Muhammad Ali they give us there life
Literally it's got to be all or nothing, death or glory
'Cos the history books could always use a new story
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
The negative cycle is waiting for the next one
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
This is not open for negotiation
He's living fast, he's dying slow and nobody knows
That the audience approval is the only approval
He's known to be real "at least as real as a rock N' roll show"
Then alone again is the man, but he can't stand being alone
Fighting the fear that is the fade of the glow and the length of the time we
expect him to give
'Cos someone's got to live like we all want to live and we all want to see
But don't want to be
"Cos someone's gonna die and it ain't gonna be me"
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
The negative cycle is waiting for the next one
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
This is not open for negotiation
And at times when he's fighting the hate that he feels for the loneliness
Feels for the home that he makes and takes straight to a different place
Where a new set of faces appear to relate but he can't help equate the
relationship
To the time he swore his love to a whore
Another name on the door, another 1:2:3:4
But the same old crown standing there on the floor
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
The negative cycle is waiting for the next one
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
This is not open for negotiation
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
The negative cycle is waiting for a live one
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
And when you're done pass it over to the next one
here's the eighth of the seven wonders, here's the [pay back] without a crime
here's to all the baby-shit so major at the time
from the last of the great pretenders to the new television age
and the few who still remember passion over rage
we changed, we didn't even try
we opened up our mouths (for) telling all those lies to ourselves
and everybody helps
CHORUS:
'cos we're just wanters not needers, hypocrites and cheaters, this is the news of the world
pseudo-heroes masturbating our egos, this is the news of the world
the news of the world...
I could hide in the foreign legion, I could live in the south of France
I could pick a thousand reasons, given half the chance
but the pricks are the whole world over, every sex, every colour of skin
maybe we're just too far gone to shake the mess we're in
we changed, we didn't even try
we opened up our mouths for telling all those lies to ourselves
and everybody helps
CHORUS
take me far away from it all, the news of the world
(what's next?) I got my bills to pay
(what's next?) I need a holiday
(what's next?) I got police upon my back
(what's next?) internal politics
(what's next?) some humans make me sick
the fakes the judges liars greed
the laws that judge the life I lead, the fucked up shit that I don't need
wanters(x4)

the news of the world(x4)
We are born into a time of innocent Americans attacked for trying to job while some Bin Laden motherfucker takes the credit, but instead of heading to Afghanistan to take him out they went to bomb Iraq and kill some families. Children die because of some imaginary weapons and to find one of the many, many terrorists upon the planet meanwhile the psychopaths accountable for killing every innocent are all sitting safely out of range.
Armageddon orchestrated, televised and exaggerated.
We were lied to and we won't get fooled again.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
we are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are born into a time our population is divided, poor and hungry people share the planet with the wealthy and the multi-billion industries pay politicians, actors and musicians more than it would take to shelter all the homeless, and the governments ignore the under funding of researching into mental health, allowing over 70% of people under-educated while the suicides per annum keep increasing and narcotics keep the treated pacified.
Fame and fortune un-donated by the over paid and the over rated.
We were lied to and we won't get fooled again.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
This virus breeds inside your system.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.
We are, we are, we are the new flesh,
We are, we are the only ones left.
We're the dog you beat down once too much.
We're the cornered rat that will fight back.

I'm just a mess
do I have to take this shit from you every time I
look your way or say "HEY! it's about time
you show me yours and I'll show you mine"
and I hope you can keep that turd eating grin of yours
upon your face when you find that you're thrown to one side

and leave you feeling worse than you did at the start
'cos she's a headfuck, my baby is a headfuck
in a bygone age engaged in the passion trip
a final score was required just to make it worthwhile
all the patience and the wasted time
for it seems today the play [did mutate into] a movie scene
where the aim is to get the best line
crashing heads for the second time

so a parting word to those young unfortunates who
cannot get to sleep 'til one little snake uncurls

you can try all week and still keep on waiting
it's a messed up, stressed out, loss situation where pearls
end up changing into headfuck girls

(head fuck (x10))
Up and down, rock and ride
And around, and around, and around, and around
Mood swings and roundabouts
It's all moods and swings and roundabouts
It's all mood swings and roundabouts
It's in your head man - sort it out
I'm sure that i can't change
Get it up, get around, get it up, get around
Mood swings and roundabouts
It's all moods and swings and roundabouts
It's all mood swings and roundabouts
It's in your head man - sort it out
(fast forward, fast forward) Sort it out!
(I've got a headache!)
Get it up, get it up, get it up, get it up
Get it up, get it up, get it up, oh fuck it!
Mood swings and roundabouts
It's all moods and swings and roundabouts
It's all mood swings and roundabouts
It's in your head man
Sort it out!
every time I get to thinking my patience is shrinking, it's a mindslide
and every time I light a candle to face an angle, it's a mindslide
I wake up fine then I'm taking a tumble, it's nothing personal at all
but a mindslide don't wait to call
every time I'm closer to something the feeling is nothing to a mindslide
it's cold and dark it's a company killer, Cruella Devilla, it's a mindslide
my heart's in the song but my head's in the battle, you catch your death in the fall
'cos a mindslide don't wait to call - hey!
CHORUS:
I'd like to live in the movies where weird is totally groovy
but out in the sticks, socially it don't mix, 'cos nothing's gonna break your stride like a mindslide
take yourself away from the next one, away from the loved ones, it's a mindslide
stay resigned, you don't even choose it, so how could you lose it - it's a mindslide
I'm walking on air then I'm down on my kneesies, I got a chain and a ball
'cos a mindslide don't wait to call - hey!
CHORUS:
wish I could live in the movies where weird is totally groovy
and maybe I'll stay out of everyone's way, 'cos nothing's gonna rape your pride like a mindslide
try to make sense out of something uneven, it'll have you lickin' the walls
When you're young and you say you believe it
And that you're never going to ch-ch-ch-change
You can read about it all in imaginary stories
But you never get the glory 'cause in life it ain't the same
So you give a bit
And you give a bit
And it's all you'll ever d-d-d-do
But you still keep believin' in your loveshit
'Cos you're hoping one day
It'll happen to you, like
My baby with the sunset eyes
Make the moves that can burn my soul
Well it's the last song we'll ever hear
Before we go
What can I do
About this loveshit anyway?
There's nothing you can do to ease my mind
What can I do
About this loveshit anyway?
D'ya have to waste your life before you find
It's all loveshit?
Sign your name on the dotted line
It's time for you to su-su-su-suffer
You're gonna wish you'd changed your mind
In a-three weeks time
'Cause then you'll find that one lover's like another
Say goodbye to it
Maybe cry a bit
It's a waste of fucking t-t-t-tears
But you still keep believing in your loveshit
'Cause if you ain't holding hands
People say that you're queer
Teacher, teacher won't you open your eyes
Teach me something that I need to know
'Cause it's the last song we'll ever hear
Before we go
What can I do
About this loveshit anyway?
There's nothing you can do to ease my mind
What can I do
About this loveshit anyway
D'ya have to waste your life before you find
It's all loveshit
It's a popular myth
That we grow'd up with
Since the age of mans desire
That it's true romance to be in your pants
I don't buy
I don't buy
You know I don't buy
What can I do
About this loveshit anyway?
There's nothing you can do to ease my mind
What can I do
About this loveshit anyway?
D'ya have to waste your life before you find
well I used to think that bad times lay behind me, I used to think I'd had my share of pain
my friends all tried to tell me I was dreaming, yeah but I just stood behind you all the same
come take me down and make me dirty, well I guess that's all I've ever been
well I should have realised there ain't no reason, I should have seen the writing on the wall
the Frankenstein you tried creating to give your trust and I'm still waiting
take me as I am or not at all
the only thing I ever wanted was the only thing you never gave
CHORUS:
oooooh I la-la-la-la-la-la love ya, until I don't
oooooh I la-la-la-la-la-la love ya...
and if it takes me all my life just to get you out of my head
well (maybe/ baby) I'd rather be dead, (waaaauh!)
{reggae bit!}
when I get hot she turns away, I wish I'd never called to say...
ooooh yeah
CHORUS
how you been? it's been awhile, I heard you found someone to make you smile
stick around, you got a pen? it's just so great to see your face again
a-take a chair, pull up a glass, do you remember when I saw you last?
things have changed, and no regret, I'm glad we got to share a little etiquette
CHORUS:
one of these days in a classical way I was just in lust with you
shutting out fire where the flame of two lie I was just in lust with you
and in the passion that plays in a chemical haze I was just in lust with you
I know you felt it too
'cos I miss you, but not that much, we only shared a little human touch
nothing wrong or impolite - you're acting like pleasures got a copyright
so so so so backtrack, get the record straight, we only had a day to intermate
no one signed on the dotted line, we never said there'd ever be a second time
CHORUS
you know I felt it too
so why the worry, so why the guilt, huh? (o-o) so why (o-o) deny a night under the quilt?
so we were lonely, so we agreed: we only did it for the company
things is wrong and things is right, things got a way of changing overnight
what's so wrong in turning on? instead of being alone when the chances are gone
'cos it was...
CHORUS
on and on you wait so long
it only takes a word if you found where it went wrong
fists, gists and communists
I feel like a log, it's a dog in onyx
take it awhile and adjust a-myself
ooh, it was something else
well, it was something else...
CHORUS:
if life (x8)
if love is like a love bank I want an overdraft (x4)
yeah!
in, in, invest to gain
you go get out and you find there's nothing
take, take, the whole world rakes
you don't get it back - that's a-economics
gets to my head, is it good for my health?
and it was something else
well it was something else...
CHORUS
everyone will take it till there's nothing left to give
[shit/ cheers/ fuck knows!]...
CHORUS:
love is like a love bank, I want am overdraft
if love is like a love bank I want an overdraft (x10)
(right hand [to left hand])
and of all the feelings
it's the only choice that my senses make, it's like I could inject you, babe, aa-aa
and of all the faces, you're the only human I ever known
but ain't it good to be alone sometimes?
it's warmer than blood and stronger than bone, I scratch and I shake
CHORUS:
I'm Jonesing for Jones, streams on my pillow, whether I can sleep at last
I'm Jonesing for Jones, say goodbye to the past
uh-oh
and in the blackest evening
a-just a taste of you and the heavens shine, light enough to daze the blind, aaaw
you've got the power to fix me when I'm sick and twisting from time I've known
but ain't it good to feel alone sometimes?
it's warmer than blood and stronger than bone, I scratch and I shake
CHORUS
to the past (x2)
oo-oo-oo oo-oo-ooo
I'm feeling warm and sated, a little dehydrated
but that's okay, a-'cause there's nothing in the way this time
it rains when I'm dry, it speaks when I'm alone, I can't leave it - I've tried
CHORUS
[Ginger]
I'm not saying that I know I've just been here
Before it's one of those things where the
Scratches heal and the scars don't show
And if trouble I see then trouble I'll get
There ain't been a kind of trouble designed
That can kill me yet
I'll never let you know 'cos I never know when
It begins
The climb, the test of time, the best design
And it's free
And it's all up to me, I just need to be reminded
It seems to be unkind that I blame it on you
When it's all up to me, I just need to be
Reminded, it seems a bit unkind that I blame it
On you, when it's all up to me
I ain't about to let it be, that'd be crazy
They say the harder they come they say the
Harder they fall this one's hard as a hand
Grenade in a cannon ball and if trouble I see
Then trouble I get they're gonna have to
someone out there really likes me, you're never gonna be this side of ninety
you'll never feel the strength of wonder to get out of the shit I'm under
do I sense some depravation? I've got a toothache and an itching
the face to face and loser zeros, and I'm a-shouting and illegal
[slow as] ( -me), stop, wait, stop, wait, stop, wait,
we could be anywhere, but you choose up there
all the drinks, ([oh]) for [fast] (so), you act like you never take a
sip ([..]) 'til I (say) get down (so), you're feeling deep
in need,
CHORUS:
inglorious, we'll take a back stance
shake your face and buckle your pants
wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
inglorious - 20 month leaders, anger fuel of a justice appears
don't cry pain, you'll [break your chains/make no change], it's obvious
inglorious
when you believe your class of bitching, someone been your pointless listening
and make [..] when you love your [..], and then they're just as weak as you are
so unhappy 'bout your vision, and come inside your blank tradition
a week of never beat the heroes, a week of degradation follows
stop, wait, stop, wait, stop, wait,
we could be anywhere where the future shares
something fast, (so) be good, (so) be better, (and) be eighties am I
set (back), the cash, (back) will come when the work is done
in [dream],
CHORUS:
inglorious, we'll take a back stance
shake your face and buckle your pants
wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
inglorious, so make a few steps,
scare the wind and obey 'em or else
sex and sin will suntan skin in all of us
inglorious
(go!)
sell it all in a minute
[cue empty/ endlessly]
all the girls want to mother you to sleep
still, well I can hear your bullshit
still, I can hear it all, raaaaa, aaaaa
who will catch you when you fall? [paul]
stop, wait, stop, wait, stop, wait, stop, wait
you could be anywhere, but you choose up there
so you quit ([..]), the first ([time]), the last ([time]), the losers and the
bas ([tards]), insist ([it's]), an ever growing list of debt
inbred
CHORUS:
inglorious, well take a back stance
take your place and buckle your pants
wake and see, you're young and free and boring us
inglorious, well maybe it's you, music's all that'll ever get through
people tire so quickly of the glamourous
inglorious, inglorious
Ahhh yes, it's just like the time
Back in '89, they said "You'll be fine,
Jus' suck a little dick"
And the standards are fine, i want more
Gonna open the bargains in store
Why the hell did they wanna sign me?
I'm a liability
Goodbye East West, God bless The Wildhearts

aaaaaaaahhh...
out of the misery {(hup, hup, hup, hup!)} to wash my soul
out of the ground with a new eight count I never came to Rock 'n' Roll
check in the mirror, and I don't mind
same old cracks in the face and glass a-just a little more defined
saw the mike in the distance, avoiding the business
and me? in time - let it shine, let it shine
CHORUS:
well...
I wanna go where the people go, yeah (x4)
take me there, anywhere, just so long as there's an atmosphere we'll be round, round, round
come on down, we all went down...
show me a hero of head and heart
rid of the stars and the blah-blah-blahs would be a worthy way to start
greater the cliches that go round and around
I wanna be where the (cunts/****s) like me are buried six feet underground
if pride is a memory, is nobody angry?
and me? in time - let it shine, let it shine
CHORUS
well...
(well (x6))
CHORUS
we went down (x3)
we all went down, we went down
(hey... hey... hey.. hey.. hey, hey, hey, hey)
wake up bad and I can't sleep back, if I can't sleep back then I'm waking black
and the whole world's covered in crap
and the [.. .. sea] got a whole lotta smile, got a whole lotta smile like they got it on tap
oh well if i can't do nothing but sit and cry, I've a-something better to do
give me half a bottle and leave me right
if you lean on me then I'll lean on you, well can I lean on you with
CHORUS:
pain, pain, hey, hey, hey - got another day
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - to find another way, today is hate the world day
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - I can't get positive, to get it over with
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - today is hate the world day, hate the world day
if the light's too bright and I wanna have style there's a time when I don't wanna open my eyes
'til the negativity dies
'cos I ain't no use to the world outside if the world outside isn't giving a shite
oh well if i can't do nothing but fear and play for a generation of sussed
then I hold my head and I hear them say:
"we will stay by you if you stay by us", maybe I'll be a wussy
CHORUS:
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - I'm in the dark again
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - I count alone to ten, today is hate the world day
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - I'd rather be on Mars
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - staying very calm, today is hate the world day, hate the world day
... and now and then I get a near to you, something that I might adhere to
even 'though I don't appear to, I still want you just the same
but the mood is all I blame, and tomorrow will I fall in love again?
{brief riff from mondo...} yeah... ah, ah, ah...
(woh-o oh, woh-o o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh o o-o-o-oh)
when I wake up bad and I worn out styles, a time when I don't wanna open my... eyes
oh well if I can't a-do a-nothing but a-sit and a-cry, I've a-something better to do
give me just one day and I'll make it by
if you lean on me then I'll lean on you, well then I'll lean on you with
CHORUS:
pain, hey, hey, hey, hey - I've got another day
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey - to find another way, today is hate the world day

the paper's hanging off the walls, there's 'roaches dancing in the halls
you still pay your fortune to crawl down misery street
the euthanasia dream brigade are melting in the Hampstead shade
the zombies of life they parade down misery street
CHORUS:
so come on over with something to do , baby, I need the company
greetings now from Shitsville, NW3
why do we stay here, God only knows - it's not the scenery
greetings now from Shitsville, NW3
greetings now from Shitsville, London
and all my neighbours disappear the second that I get too near
I stick out like elephant ears on misery street
it gets so hard to sleep at night, the left of me the [drunks/drugs] still fight
while sirens scream off to the right down misery street
CHORUS
the heating's set to sauna and the carpet's getting thin
my vacuum cleaner's blowing out instead of sucking in
I drink myself to coma so that sleep escapes the din
and start this shit all over again...
so now I got a brand new day to tackle in the same old way
the ducking and diving of bills that arrive in their seemingly hundreds to pay
CHORUS
man overboard and the engine is down, I've got to make it to the Underground
the Underground where the feeling is, I couldn't make it for a little kiss
I said a little kiss and a pat on the knee, I'd give it all if it wasn't for free
yeah, you're only here for the one thing
you're only here for the one thing, so why're you leaving me waiting?
yeah, I'm pretty tired of the loose now, might've been a lil' lonely
might've been a lil' lonely, might've been a lil' lonely
CHORUS:
I got it on Tuesday just like a cheque in the mail
I got it on Tuesday, I got it on Tuesday
I'm back on my feet then I'm back on the floor, my head's a-pounding and my knees are raw
so take a-me in where the saints are found, I need a sound on the Underground
I said the Underground where the feeling is, nobody told me there'd be days like this
yeah, you're only here for the one thing
you're only here for the one thing, it's kinda late for believing
yeah, I bet you're tired of the loose now, might've been a lil' lonely
might've been a lil' lonely, might've been a lil' lonely
CHORUS:
I got it on Tuesday just like a cheque in the mail
I got it on Tuesday, I got it on Tuesday
yeah!
waiting around like there's gotta be something worth waiting around for
in this city of nothing I see guys on the street with a face like a camera
showing pictures of me like I used to be
then there's only one small step and you're moving again
CHORUS:
yeah, I got it on Tuesday
just like a cheque in the mail I got it on Tuesday
yeah, I got it on Tuesday
stay her in the concert hall
in the [work place] 'tween the nasty walls
the authority who says she bought it all
CHORUS:
give the girl a gun, give the girl a gun, he ain't no-one, give the...
teach her how to kill a man
give her new laws, [proper female stand]
you expect her to trust in anyone
CHORUS
arm her with a can of mace
just to spray in- to the bastard's face
another victory she'd rather not have won
CHORUS:
give the girl a gun, give the girl a gun, he ain't no-one (x4)
mmmmmm!
you look so good in your girlfriend clothes, you're gonna score tonight for sure
dressed in case all your worn out chat don't really get them hot, what!
do they want they can have your body, your picture on your wall
let them know that you're really something (those bitches are right for jumping)
I hear ageing lines abound, try the lost and found
CHORUS:
you look so good in your girlfriend clothes
you're irresistible, you're irresistible
you smell so sweet and you've got the pose
and you stick right out from all the other Joes, you're irresistible
it's getting late and you're so frustrated, four hours and not one bite
old Mrs Palm and her five young daughters is all you'll get tonight, right!
[grab/caress] some friends maybe throw some insults at some longhair all alone
call him a fag as he goes to meet his girlfriend waiting home
CHORUS
(hup-hup-hup-hup)
ba-ba do-ba-do ba-ba, do-ba-do ba-ba do-ba ta-ta ta-ta ta-ta
CHORUS
getting it cheap, a-getting it free
a-getting it safe, a-getting it sussed
a-getting it seen, a-getting it praised
a-getting it in, a-getting it out, a-getting it erased
CHORUS:
getting it all the way, so don't ask for what I say
when I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) (x2)
getting it down, a-getting it back
a-getting it pain, a-getting it tight
well getting it loose, getting it to stay
well getting it hard, a-getting it real, a-getting it afraid
CHORUS:
getting it all the way, it feels a whole lot better today
'cos I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) (x15)
getting it rich, getting it poor
getting it still, getting a deal
a-getting it shut, a-getting it true
a-getting it good, a-getting it bad
a-getting it and keeping it
CHORUS:
getting it all the way, it's the same for you and me
we're all still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) (x2)
you're still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
'cos I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)

[Ginger]
There will be evil that tries to disable
They fight, take, start wars
Try to make you take the poison
Try to get some kind of reaction
You don't need this situation
Ignore the irritation
Get your groove one
Some will annoy you
And bore you as they do
Just stop, think, calm, walk
Rise above this aggravation
Do not give in to temptation
You don't need this situation
Ignore the irritation
now that I've changed and the rest have all stayed
well, why do I feel so confused?
some of the best of me plans have been laid
and some of me best moments used
I've been out for the count in a Mexican bar-o
stranded in nowhere with a-nothing but me
ah, lads, I did(n't) understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
some of the shit has sprouted in roses
and some of the roses have died
forced by meself to follow conviction
and ignore what I'm missing inside
I've been loved by the sweetest and hated by heroes
life's still (a) surprise and the friends come and go
ah, lads, I did(n't) understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
(whoop-whoop, whoop-whoop)
I've had praise I've had ridicule, either meant nothing
faced with the task of tomorrow's demands
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
oh, lads, I didn't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland
(whoop-whoop)
all alone, cover your self-opinion
then you amuse me but mostly yourself
in your hell, hell is waiting for [a pillows and silos your head's out the wall, everlone]
(oo-oo) (x5)
CHORUS:
be my friend for five minutes, five minutes, (five minutes) that's all you can (x2)
be my friend and leave me alone
draw the line for yourself you do it
kindly most interesting but [some alive]
in your mind, you can talk about the world in a bombshell, that's how you survive
in your mind
CHORUS:
be my friend for five minutes, five minutes, (five minutes) that's all you can (x3)
be my friend and leave me alone (o-o-oh) (wo-o-oh) (wo-o-oh) (wo-o-oh)
aaah-awaah
CHORUS:
be my friend for five minutes, five minutes, (five minutes) that's all you can (x4)
be my... (my friend for) friend... (my friend for) (x7)
hey, be one of us
check your moods there by the door
smile, then shoot the shit
don't step out our social law
thanks but no thanks, here I'll hang
how do you know - if there's a voice, any choice? it's a
highway patrol - you've gotta smile with the boys, and a-
how do you know? - because I've licked them together all the time
how do you know - if there's a type with a mind? and a-
losing [aggro] - a-changing laws for the times, tell me
how do you know? - they're being laid back a [general over crime]
when I [jap] and I see [class] total controlling, and the rats in the street won't leave me alone
I wanna [come my way], I wanna sit down beside her, I wanna roll on up a [...]
[I've put a-come on] the tiger, 'cos nothing's gonna stop.
how do you know? - well there's a man with a family
[..?] he's looking after the community
how do you know? - he's selling class b and talking 'bout a dream
where do you [talk]? can there be some poor grey bugger?
[give them] a mark - he'd be the mile of the way, I like it
where do you start? - well keep your Dad worth a-dead or never seen
I'm gonna [jap] and a-seethe, got the power to steal, we'd have a
background chat just to know how it feels
a-book a submarine, and you could hang around in silence until the time you stop a-breathing
well it's a very similar feeling to what you're feeling now
CHORUS:
all fire up, pass it up 'til they legalise the demon from the ground
I'm all fired up, and I'm down in the agony of
deep and [triangle!/trying for] peace, small release, but a small release it hears me
(how do you know?)
how do you know - if there's a voice, any choice? it's a
highway patrol - make up the rules, 'cos the boys got the
power to grow, because the stupid people for it know the rule - yes they do!
but the [jap] and they see [craft] total control, we've gotta drink next time while the [..] hold
so everybody works, if you stickle with the system, and if you miss it like a roundhead
until you're strung out for grounded, and nothing's gonna stop
CHORUS
life has teeth, and bites the feeding open hand
you wanna be in a band?
I got to feeling, I got too much, too soon, too fucked up I don't know
I got to get to the show
well... what have I got to do?
what have I got to do to get through to you?
well... what have I got to do?
what have I got to do to get next to you?
like a telephone call would do, fuck it
CHORUS:
everlone, everlone
a thousand fake heroes appear at the throne (of)
everlone, into the great unknown
leaving it all to fade for a while
'til the fire in my eyes passes by
when ideas run out, any fool can make a fist
I got the will to resist
I got the power of one, the fear of none, the arms to judge a man
I bet you don't understand
well... what have I got to do?
what have I got to do to get through to you?
well⦠what have I got to do?
what have I got to do to get next to you?
like a telephone call would do, fuck it
CHORUS
passes by - like a train, like the strangers all around
passes by - like a pain, like the only friend I've found
but if you mix self-confidence with some common sense
maybe then you'll realise you touch me never, never, ever...
(... ever (x7))
I can be anything I want to be, anything you hate in me multiplied by twenty three
sometimes in my head I think I'm someone else that makes me feel bad, badder than before
it's my life, my time, I can do what I wanna do
when did I give you an invite to come round here, make me feel bad, badder than before
it's my life, my time, I can do what I wanna do
it's my solo party, it's my body, and if I choose to abuse it with my lifestyle and my music
And now I'm fine, my mind is clear
and nothing bad can touch me here
It's all so right, it's all so beautiful
so maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real
I'm feeling warm, I want to stay
I want to live my life this way
protect me still, oh, as I slowly drift in fog
so maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real
And I can be the child in me
to run with the wind, to dance with the light, to be forever free
I hear the crowd (I hear the crowd), I taste the air (I taste the air)
for just one night (for just one night), but I don't care (but I don't care)
I'm five miles...high
and here I'll climb forever at all
so maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real
hi! I feel low, like I just don't know which way to go
it's a game, it's a play, and it's waiting to blow any day
'cos I want it, need it, shit it and breathe it
breaking the thorn in my side
with the hollow views and the last week's news
I'm inclined to be blind out of something to do
CHORUS:
in the
town - I never get enough of it
town - I only get too much of it
town - I'm falling out of love with it
the price goes up, the lives go down, I'm so sick of London town
cold to the bone, and I still don't know which way is home
and the chains keep me tied to the parasite city of lies
to the fakers, mimers, two-feet climbers, let's drink a toast to the town
when the stories rebound try to hold me down, you
make me thankful for who I am
CHORUS
I used to hear them blowing up the radio, I'd hear the music and I'd go to see the show
it don't mean much to me, all the same
like I'm standing in the crowd with only myself to blame
yeah, should I go for the throat?
or just wade through the quicksand?
of this rock in the wasteland
instead of sleazing around being a Guns n' Rose
while they're choking on whiskey to complete the pose
where'd the good times go?
CHORUS
CHORUS
London town x3
Dont Worry About Me
Dont Worry About Me
Ill Be Alright
Dont Worry Bout Me
shut your mouth, can't you see that I'm ignoring you?
your lips are moving up and down, you're trying to get a message through
but here and now I'm absolutely miles away
I'm thinking of a million things and none [are/of] what you're trying to say
you've got to put me out (of) your misery (misery)
you're talking and you're talking and you
ne-ver shut - up and you're fucking up
you're wearing on my patience, on my sanity (sanity)
(here's 50p, go and phone someone that gives a shit)
'cos I'm not alone, but by myself (aa-aa), so go and talk to someone else
CHORUS:
I've got conversation (o-oh) constipation (o-oh), just took a small vacation
in silence (o-oh) and thunder (o-oh), and your mouth just put me under, stall the rage
'cos
all of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop (x3)
late at night I lock myself inside my private room
until the fighting die(s) and normal service was resumed
and now I'm back, I guess I never really went away
it's kinda cold in here but it's a welcome stay
So when I choke on the silage that you're puking out (puking out)
d'ya mind if I see you as vibrato potato (ta-ta)
shit out of things that we can talk about (talk about)
so let's try 'goodbye', see y'round mind if I
[au revoir], closing down, I tried to warn you but you're in blab town
CHORUS
cold patootie tango(x4)
'cos I'm not alone, by myself, so go and talk to someone else
CHORUS
all of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop (x3)
[all said might come out], dance a cheek a cheek, [play at] nine to five seven day a week
low on high times, big on loser
tried the police a piece, [...] push a pull, [...], sucker [weaken ya]
die on weakness pile on good[ness], that idea don't rhyme
CHORUS:
do anything (x9)
stay on your feet, sweet sweet, sweet
[shock a sick tea],[looking now a bar],[shit must stand complete],[can I scare at all]
big on lifestyle, low on [freestyle]
mistook a [...], where can I a-drown?
we're alright, Jack, what's your problem? can't you get along?
CHORUS:
do anything (x9)
whenever I'm on top there's someone trying to take me down {wah wah}
they say I've got to tag along to all this shit that's going 'round
best times of my life sometimes I spend alone (impress me)
I can never trust in you so how could you deserve me
I'm poor, make me hot, give me glory or not, I'm sick of being
uh-ha
they say that I never could be a something
climb on a job without putting me down
if I don't get nothing but I stay down then
when I try... by... set my... self under
[chew] on nobody else
[love hunger]
ever tried being yourself?
[love hunger]
give me some time on my own
('cos I wonder)
leave me a long... hair... yeah... heh...
CHORUS:
honey turn the TV down
I get a [ride/line] on their saying, and pass it around
if it works for you, it'll work for us, so
gimme a little dangerlust
gimme a little dangerlust
d-d-d-dayglo buffaloes blew me away
stranger the eye was 'tween the dust and the day
mile-high sweet as [tie] show me a sign
I'm smiling away 'cos I know that it's mine
CHORUS
gimme a little dangerlust
you, with their sadness in your eyes
you've got places you can dream to if you'd only take the time
I've got the arms to break your fall
but you're sad without a reason and that's the baddest kind of all
down, down see them drown
why do you let it get you down?
those empty headed heroes and those rumours coming round
tired (of) all the people you despise
you've got so much a-love inside you that you've never exercised
down, down see them drown
you can't stop crying over, can't stop crying over nothing
you can't stop crying over, can't stop crying over
nothing (x3)
CHORUS:
it's all right, so why care?
if you bleed for the light I will follow you there
'cos there's a sun kissed cloud over raindog holiday
...holiday
CHORUS
crying over nothing (x6)
mix up, start, stop, start, wait a minute... shut down
losing the plot, losing the plot, losing the plot 'til there's nothing to see but the ground
head inside a rut - it's like my mind is shut, I hope I cope this time
drink and drugs will only amplify (oo-oo)
(well) I still got my music, so let's give that a try
sounds that can soothe you, and sounds that can move you and improve you child
CHORUS:
caprice (x6)
help me see this pain doesn't matter - I'm fine
no-one get me, I don't get me, no-one get me, I don't get me, I just need a little time
head inside a rut, the mental link is cut, I'm holding on for life
no-one knows quite what to really say, guess they wouldn't make a difference anyway
friends they can use ya, well friends they can use you and abuse you child
but never be denied, like the circles in the sky, heaven ain't rolling, rolling, rolling...
CHORUS:
caprice (x5)
it's the strangest feeling ever
you keep trying your best but it's just an arrested endeavour
so you buckle up, (to) face the day, and try to make the ever grey like heaven, like heaven
but it's not too easy, when you think [you've got it cos/you got to kill] somebody
gotta be a joker and keep up a little [humour/you look] jealous
[tinkering a bag or two] or talking [can I interest] you, well,
you know how it is
CHORUS:
well, you've been out of you're seat for way too long
you've got to get your trainer tapping to a different song
you know I can't do right for doing wrong, oh no
so it's best, to relax,(and) get drunk
then the guys at the fire remind you that you've been a cun-t
({Ritch?:} well, I've done wrong for a start)
if you open your mouth, the truth comes out
and no one likes to hear that sort of stuff so it's best just to relax and shut up
({Danny?:} yeah, that's the best plan, {Ritch?:} no, that ain't never right
{Ginger:} yeah, that's the best thing to do)
catch a-someone laughing and I choke it up before by being a
want to be unpopular because you've got to [pick a to the
likeness to Japan] and to a shitty little band and you know, that would be funny
CHORUS:
well, you'll be away from it all and you don't belong
unless your cock gets hard at a football song
you know I can't do right for doing wrong
{magic roundabout- type chords}
out of your seat, get (x4)
back in your seat, get (x4)
back among the things that we let gather [........]
it isn't what your knowing, it's a case of who you're blowing
get your phallus to communicate, you got to take it to the case
so socially they'll let you be, so long as we can copulate
you want to be a big shot, you'd better stop by saying
(I can't do right for doing wrong)
yes please, stash, get my fingers in your pants
(I can't do right for doing wrong)
I'm gonna lick it too, and suck a few, and just give me a chance
(I can't do right for doing wrong)
I'll be a good dog, prick me and you'll never be [been retired a-chemical wide]
(I can't do right for doing wrong, can't do right for doing wrong)
yeah, yeah, open wide... (you know I) can't do right for doing wrong (x3)
no, no, no I can't... (you know I) can't do right for doing wrong (x8)
Eyes dried tight gotta get myself together
need a kickstart cocktail, ten percent coffee
with a high rise family size, guaranteed to catonize
the little bit of brain I got a-hanging on from last night
I need a double take, a-just to get awake
to try and counteract the hollow feeling nature makes
it's gonna work a treat, gonna get me on my feet
it's a teasing little tonic with a kick like a mule and a skip on the beat
CHORUS:
It ain't right, it ain't wrong, I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
too sweet, a-too strong, I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb, I need a ca-ca-ca-ca-caffeine bomb
Overdo the sugar and the coffee and the whiskey
in my biggest mug 'til the varnish starts to melt
I gotta wake up shake any webbing I'm a-shedding
any grogginess I felt before I sweated all the poison from my body to my quilt
CHORUS:
and it's been too long, I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
what a buzz, what a song, I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb, I need a ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-caffeine bomb
hangover, so hung over, pour me a doctor, send it over
something that'll stop my legs from shaking, something that'll stop my head from aching
hangover, so hung over, breath of a juiced up holy roller pounding
baby can't you see I shitting brown water
well it's a case of easy come and easy go
I need a caffeine bomb to wake me in the morning
I need a caffeine bomb to get me to the show
oh no, I think I'm gonna throw (bleurgh!)
hands all sticky and I'm spilling all the whiskey on
myself, my friends, my dog, my floor, my God, my head feels like something crawled inside it
and the medicine I ordered should be kicking any second and I gotta be getting me more
CHORUS:
a-let's go, let's get it on, I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
Faye Wray, King Kong, I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb, I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb, I need a ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-caffeine bomb
What the Hell has come over me? (All over me)
Where's the person you used to be? (It's a mystery)
Well I'd swear somebody has switched you while I was asleep.
Personality interchange. (Face the change)
Sitting duck in your firing range. (Baby strange)
I'm thinking that I used to love you, but I can't think what part of you.
Up in the air and down on my knees.
I'm in the shit but out of your league.
What makes you think psychosis is appealing anyway?
Chorus
I just gotta say goodbye bi-polar baby.
If I don't get away you'll make me crazy.
I concede the way I'm feeling lately, I wanna take this knife and jam it right through your heart.
I wanna tear your fucking world apart.
Here's the money and there's the flat. (Here's the flat)
Take it all I don't want it back. (Don't want it back)
Because this suckers hitting the highway and the bags are packed.
What the Hell has come over you? (All over you)
Now your lies have become the truth (See the proof)
Are you happy that they all believe you?
Ain't it funny how we shape the future?
Up in the air and down on my knees
You got the right to do as you please
and in the time it takes to feel, I could swear that you get closer every day
and my only hope is when it all comes real, I don't fuck it up and throw it all away
'cos every time the chaos starts - time after time
the message screams into my heart, we're always an ocean apart
(you're always in my heart)
CHORUS:
oh, woah, woah, you beautiful thing you
you beautiful thing you, you beautiful thing (aah-aa aah-aa aah-aah-aah)
oh, woah, woah, you beautiful thing you
you beautiful thing you, you beautiful thing
when I console myself when life is throwing spears, there's a growing love the spirit deep inside
and a part of me has felt it getting near, trying patiently to [brave/break] the great divide
and if I fall I won't look down - I'll face the sky
I'll be there second time around - to practice the balance I've found
(I'll always be around)
CHORUS
always an ocean apart
(you're always in my heart)
CHORUS
(you beautiful thing)
you beautiful thing (you beautiful thing)
hold me, baby, try to think of how you made me
hold me, baby, while the world gets bored and lazy
and hold me, hold me, tighter than I ever thought I could be, tighter than you'd hold a memory...
time, bubbling under, I will rise, I will shake
material gain in a new lifetime to be rid of the right
when I can only sing true nature of things
and I'll rearrange and I'll stand, tall as Centrepoint
time, subtle as sunshine, I will rise, I'll abstain
with patience I gain in a new lifestyle, to be rid of the rage
then I can only sing of the power of learning
when I realise I can stand, tall as Centrepoint
CHORUS:
be my drug (x3)
hold me, baby, try to make it a little less crazy
and hold me, tighter than I ever thought I could be, and tighter than you hold a memory...
time, bubbling under, I will rise, I will train
then I can only sing of the true nature of things
and I'll feel the pain I won't feel again
and I will rise to the other side where I'll stay, and I'll stand, tall as Centrepoint
every minute passed of every passing day
watching the wave we thought would last sailing away
out into the blue and a-[mooded] to the shore
still as a darker shade of grey like never before
CHORUS:
a bad time, bad time to be having a bad time
a bad time, bad time to be having a bad time
well I wish that it was over, but it's only just begun
how come the sum of one and one is none?
went to [cram us here] and went to fly alone
loneliness is nothing to fear if you've never had a home
wandering for days [of independent end]
stuck in the habit of packing, unpacking
then I'm packing againâ¦
CHORUS
...aaaaahh ...aaaaahh ...aaaaahh-aaaaahh
kiss me in the dark, I don't wanna see you cry
CHORUS
ba-... (x8)
baby strange, what does it take to love you?
baby strange, what does it take to loathe you?
stuck in occasions unfinished and severed, I'm dead with my eyes open wide
heaven above you, tired and lonely, I'm terrified
but in an ideal world there'd be a decent conversation and dignified
life, you think it's all in your hands, you play tricks, manipulating the band
you want fame, well here you are in the track and all without a spinal column in your back
you make waves while being jealous and weak, you want stars unless they happen to speak
you use blackmail tactics as part of your plan to undermine the battle of the working man
so we just play and smile all day at things you say and do
and use our little victories as trial for the few
and that means you
CHORUS:
and the bullshit goes on, it don't matter how far you run
it's that old familiar feeling when they're all convinced you're wrong
it's just different words and the same old fucking song
and the bullshit goes on
and it goes...
you pass blame because you think you're immune, and when your fingers should be itching to reopen the wound
you go on and on and on some more, your stupid ideas that we all ignore
so take your place and hide your face and we'll get on just fine
keep the distance, earn respect and we'll work it out in time
CHORUS
I want you to see some honesty you believe it's true
so come on open up to me like human beings are supposed to do
so won't you
CHORUS
The world that I was to ya
So deep and safe and warm
Is peppered by experience
Mutated by the fall
And all the walks in the countryside
Are better done by bike
And now we work along the sacred sites
Don't ensure we ain't so alive
In the light of war we find Abhoria (oh)
(When we do, but it's easy just to be here for yer)
If that was your intention
To take the easy way,
Goodbye to intervention
And damn the game you play
And I'm sore with the kind of scars that never heal in time
Take a tip from company owes
We ain't wrong just cos we ain't right
Should we stay on shore and blame Abhoria (oh)
When I need you I can easily believe you
Abhoria (oh)
When I need you when I true believe to grieve you
Abhoria
Wrap you up in foam to protect you from the fear
Of spending life alone even though I keep telling you
Time and time again I wish I wasn't
The cunt you call a friend, maybe then I can send you
Away, away, away
Angel, I'll carry you across the sea
I don't even mind if you board with harmony
Nobody knows nobody sees, just me and my baby
But the cost is not enough for the time spent with killing
You can get a job to appreciate the killing
And why not decide to spit on into fire
A little bit of heaven and a mass of genocide
If what you see and what you feel don't tend to be the same ideal
Just stop and find and hope to share a little piece of heaven out there
here, sitting in my room, with The Replacements and Husker Du, like a rebel without a clue
and the Beatles and the Stones get to hang out with Ramones
and the Pistols shunning fame, as they sing the old refrain
as they always will again, like 29 x the pain
I see Starz, and the moon is Big and Black, well there's a full Sheer Heart Attack
a-but the cheapest trick of all is when I hear that London call
I need something and I need it fast, I need Jason Scorching past
I need to feel they feel the same, 'cos when they almost know my name it's like 29 x the pain
times the pain
29 x the pain, times the rain
29 x the pain, times the pain
times the pain, but it all ends up the same
(thanks [Pink/Pete/??])
kiss my heart, like The Damned did from the start
c'mon make me feel like me, S.L.F. or B.O.C.
give me old, give me new, lend me all you're feeling too
'cos the sounds that twist and curl, it's a brave new world
I'm up, I could not get down, well I get all my friends around
and I can be there once again, I'm gonna miss Kurt Cobain
just like 29 x the pain
times the pain
29 x the pain, times the pain
29 x the pain, times the pain
times the pain (and all the gaps and all the pain)
times the pain (tomorrow always cries my name)
times the pain - it makes it all worthwhile again
