Start with vanity
Arrogance and greed
Panic is my obsession
No one can escape
The thrill is much too great
Despair is my creation
Everything obscene
Emanates from me
Homicide is on the rise
It all begins now
Take your final bow
The camera never lies
Action, torture, misery
Endless suffering
Torment, agony
Captured for eternity
Action
You're the main attraction
Torture, misery
Endless suffering
Pleasing to the eye
To this you can't deny
No one else around
Razor wire bound
Insanity is so near
Heart begins to seize
Watch you atrophy
Reality is now clear
Take a look inside
Many more have died
The internet's an open door
Everyone can see
Dying brutally
The audience begs for more
Action, torture, misery
Endless suffering
Torment, agony
Captured for eternity
Action
You're the main attraction
Torture, misery
Endless suffering
Pleasing to the eye
To this you can't deny
[Lead: King]
Murder is my future
Killing is my future
Murder is my future
Killing is my future
Torture, misery
Endless suffering
Pleasing to the eye
To this you can't deny
[Lead: King]
Murder is my future
Killing is my future
Murder is my future
Killing is my future
Murder is my future
Killing is my future
Murder is my future
Killing is my future
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can?t destroy what isn?t there
Deliver me into my fate
If I?m alone I cannot hate
I don?t deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn?t face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn?t hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren?t my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won?t listen to your shame
You ran away, you?re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don?t ever let me know
[originally by Jimi Hendrix]
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whaterever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me
Help me
Oh I don't know
Yeah!
Purple haze was all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
Who knows?
Help me
Yeah
Come on now
Tell me
Tell me
Staring back through the falls
Staring back through the debris
Staring backwards for miles
Slowly watching you disappoint
You can take a heart with it
You can take a heart with it
You can take a heart with it
You can take a heart with it
Staring straight through a heart
Staring straight through the city
Staring backwards for miles
Slowly watching you disappoint
You can take a heart with it
You can take a heart
To a point that
distance couldnt judge
The likes of which you'll never meet
Wipe the dust of 40 years
Walk back through the fossil trees
To disappoint & reappear
Raise the Guinnes, raise the cheer
But who needs proof?
Let the boat sail
Who told you to be so cruel
Who told you what to do
Who taught you to act that way
Who taught you to disagree
Who taught you to act that way
Who taught you to do what you do
Who taught you to despise
Who told you that you were right
Who told you to be so cruel
Who told you what to do
Who taught you to act that way
Who taught you to disagree
Who told you to act that way
Who told you to destroy
Who told you to despise
georgy porgy pudding and pie
kissed the girls and made them cry
when the boys came out to play
george spun on his heels and ran the other way
each morning at work she's in tears
remembering a better time
a place where love would hold her safe and warm
seems those days are over now
seems those days are gone
some little piggies get roast beef
and some little piggies get none
but everytime she hears that song
she's right back in her lover's arms
remembering a better place
where love would hold her safe
before the grand old duke of gloucester rd.
marched off over primrose hill
wrenched away her peace of mind
jill came tumbling down
[Song of Japanese baseball team "Hanshin Tigers"]
Rokko oroshi ni sasso to
Soten kakeru nichirin no

These streets are never gonna look the same
Now the carnival's passed by
Still hear the laughter
Still see the smiles
The rhythms still pumping steadily
Life's remedy, a melody floating on
What a chance to behold
So why wait for another dawn...
Let's start today
Give in... give it all
To a rhythm that's pumping steadily
Life's remedy, a melody floating on
What a chance to behold
I catch my thoughts and I pray
That love will warm your day
If life is cold and cruel
Pray love warms to you
If the seasons turn against you
The winter wind should get you down
If life is cold and cruel
Pray love warms to you
The streets are almost empty
1 lie 2 lies 3 lies 4 lies 5 lies
Flying in formation now the word is out
6 lies 7 lies 8 lies 9 lies 10 lies
Bouncing out of the sun two hands on
Sail on...
When I see them my ears might start to bleed
One lie told the another yet other got shot down
In the confusion there was death there was doubt
And faces burning, fingers burning
when there comes a time to hold
when there comes a time you'll know
when there comes a time to touch
when there comes a love
i'm going to spend that time with you
when there comes a time for peace
when there comes a time to reach
when there comes a time to hope
when there comes a love
i'm going to spend that time with you
a day with you is a special day
All that effort, all that fuss
A mindless lesson, a mindless buzz
You could build a boat with energy wasted
And sail off into a hippie sunset
But no, let's just pretend
Take our shots and fall down dead
Wake up on the count of ten
With your hands in your pockets ready to spend
You could send a kiss ten thousand miles
And plant it on the smallest child
But why should that make sense to you
You're not trying to raise a smile - it's true
You don't know how to spend it...
Over the top of a lager in wineless wine bar
I can see the sunset over Blackbird hill
It's only the cocaine comaradarie
Keeping the thugs from moving in for the kill
Friends desert me through choice and pressure
I know the faces but I'm not safe
A kiss torn curl blows through your hair
Words glow and fade as the meanings change
But somehow - it don't bother me
somehow - it don't bother me
There's a choice to make but I'll make it later
Decisions just float on by
Oblivious to the sounds around me
I'm home but I don't know why
The last of the sunset bounces of the back wall
And reflects back off to the stars
A final witness to a dying sunset
[Originally by Girls Aloud]
Disco dancing with the lights down low
Beats are pumping on my stereo
Neighbour's banging on the bathroom wall
He's saying crank the base I gotta get some more
Water's running in the wrong direction
Got a feeling it's a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Something funny's going on inside my mind
Don't know what is pushing me higher
It's the static from the floor below
And then it drops and catches like fire
It's a sound I, it's a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
Into the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the 'lectric night
Where the bass line jumps in the back street light
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under, sound of the underground
Chain reaction running through my veins
Pumps the bass line up into my brain
Screws my mind until I lose control
And when the building rocks I know it's got my soul
Water's running in the wrong direction
Got a feeling it's a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Something funny's going on inside my mind
Don't know what is pushing me higher
It's the static from the floor below
And then it drops and catches like fire
It's a sound I, it's a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
Into the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the 'lectric night
Where the bass line jumps in the back street light
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under, sound of the underground
I don't know what is pushing me higher
It's the static from the floor below
And then it drops and catches like fire
It's a sound I, it's a sound I,
It's a sound I, it's a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
Into the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the 'lectric night
Where the bass line jumps in the back street light
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under, sound of the underground
Where the bass line jumps in the back street light
It's the sound of the under, sound of the underground
Where the bass line jumps in the back street light
It's the sound of the under, sound of the underground
They called his name when he was 18.
He couldn't wait to go.
He knew that there was glory waiting, he knew all there was to know.
So when they called his name he joined the line.
Turned into a number, got tickets for the show.
Eyes front join the line he signed his name, faded into khaki.
Got seats in the front row.
He knew it would be high adventure, a big pub brawl in the sun.
He'd come home to a heroes welcome, he knew the time would come.
But then three days forced march later through the debris of hell,
all his preconceptions blown away into nightmare.
Wasted numbers.
So when they called his name he joined the line to do his bit for king & country,
took the shilling, sang the songs, took the tin hat and showered spirit.
Down below the feet were marching on
There was glory calling, flowers were thrown
Although the sun was shining
The cold blue light of morning
Can't melt the layers of dreams
Left from the night before
The dream goes on...
Yes, the mood was stirring
Yes, the eyes were shining
To answer honours calling wreaths were laid
All the girls were smiling
The young men held a wine
Marching on the dreams
Left from the night before
The dream goes on...
Watch the smiles turning into tears
They'll send the young men to war
Down below the feet were marching on
There was glory calling, flowers were thrown
Although the sun was shining
The cold blue light of morning
Can't melt the layers of dreams
Left from the night before
The dream goes on...
Same blood same sun
she's always
she's always there she's always strong
always gives me something to believe in
she lifts my soul
takes my heart to places that i never know existed
yuki my one and only
yuki pure as the driven snow
january's child got me thinking
of summer and the snow
yes i know she'll always bring me reason
[Originally by Tim Buckley]
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with Death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you:
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you
That's fine [Repeat until bored]
Whos going to take their chances
Whos going to make it pay
Reminded in the strangest place
A long forgotten melody
A scent that drags me back
& rakes up long forgotten memories
Learn the lesson, learn the taste
Keep a tally hone the method
To make it work
To make it right
Whos going to take their chances
Whos going to make it pay
Whos going to take their chances
Whos going to pave the pay
You dont want to say you need to
You dont really think you have to
Keep a tally, learn the lesson
Learn the taste & hone the method
Given heart
Given all its got
You'll take your chances
or know its lost

Where's the love you took from me
How am I supposed to carry on
Just emptiness inside me
Where the flame of love burned so strong
Where has it gone that burning flame of love
Where's it gone
How am I supposed to carry on
No more the tenderness
What happened to the love we shared
No more the warm caress
Just emptiness & despair
I see my dreams burn before my eyes
I'm left with yesterday
Left with trouble on my mind
No more the warm caress
Just emptiness & despair
[Originally by Africa Bambaata]
You're in a place where the nights are hot
Where nature's children dance and set a chance
On this Mother Earth, which is our rock
The time has come, and work for soul, show you really got soul
Are you ready hump bump bump, get bump, now let's go, house
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
Rock rock to the Planet Rock
Just start to chase your dreams
Up out your seats, make your body sway
Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love Life Live
Come play the game, our world is free
Do what you want but scream
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
Rock rock to the Planet Rock
[3x]
If I tried to tell you there was
Only one way to change my mind
Would you laugh me down & tell me what I'm missing
And if I tried to say I'll make it my own way
Would you still meet me half way
Offer me the hand of friendship no misgivings
All you need and all you're dealt
From love to lust, greed to hate
Mud to dust, sand to glass to nothing
If I was to say
It's your decision I don't mind which path you take
It's up to you...
It's up to you to find your own direction
It's up to you...
I know I'm doing wrong
It makes sense to stop but I'll carry on
Pushing on towards an offered knife
I can see it coming but I've got no choice
It's you - a magnetic pull
There's no need to see me coming
I'm already fooled
Knit one, pearl one, hang one
Drawn one, quartered one
come the day i loose my marbles
walk me gently to the stables
sit me in a comfy sofa
wheel me out to graze
when i'm dragged before the jury
plead for me if i'm deemed worthy
steal a song and sing it backwards
yodel till the cows come home
1 you'll get a bag of clues
2 do you need much more
or 3 do you just want to play the numbers
4 you'll get it on a plate
5, 6, 7 and 8 all said one skeleton is all you're getting
better rattle it along while it's got
a bit of muscle on it
when it comes my time to snuff it
play complete control and abide with me
fill a pine bungalow with whiskey
shove me where the sun don't shine
come the day i lose my marbles
lead me gently out to graze
steal a song and sing it sideways
yodel till the cows come home
just want to play the numbers
do you
roll it out for all to see
hide it on a pin head
slap it down glue and cement, nail it to the walls
roll it up your sleeve, join the magic circle
learn the magic words
with any tried and tested way
could you put the record straight
could you sprinkle it with pixie dust
and watch it fly away
would you wonder would you know
would you listen, were you told
would you listen if i called
would you wonder would you know
that I still hear you
and I still know your name
you'll find out what it's worth
face down in the dirt
I'll see you fall headlong with the rest of us
just how long did you wonder
just how long did you know
did you sprinkle it with pixie dust and watch it fly away
I'll see you fall headlong with the rest of us
Heads you win, tails you lose
& then you're on your own
You can take it as you will
Heads you win, tails you lose
Heads you win, tails you lose
The rest is up to you
You can take it as you will
Heads you win, tails you lose
Heads you win, tails you lose
You can take it as you will
The rest is up to you
Heads you win, tails you lose
You can take it as you will
Could promise you everything
never a limit
Could promise the land & sea
& everything in it
Could promise the earth
& never deliver
I can see the one hand
where the fuck's the other
Not another lie
Cheat it and connive it
Not another lie
Deceive it and deny it
Streets full of weirdos
Shops full of crap
Pub & sods & oddballs
Wine bars full of twats
Sense of smells the longest
The memory that lingers longest
The wamr smell of bullshit
can drift for miles & miles
Surely not a lie
Cheat it and connive it
Not another lie
Deceive it and deny it
Not another lie
If you're gonna cheat to prosper
Not another lie
Its gonna cost you in the end
Surely not a lie
Lie & cheat, connive & steal
Where hatred finds a place to hide
Bitterness takes a bite
& the money gets all
Sick and tired of religious nutters
I just can't believe it ain't butter
I'm far too old to join the army
and I don't want to talk to you - so fuck off!
I'll have McDonalds a coke a couple of scuds
If your coming bring lots a big bag of buds
dinky and drongo are down the boozer
Cake!
[Traditional]
Pack up all my cares and woes
Feeling low here I go
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar sweet so is she
Bye bye blackbird
No one seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep handing me
Where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird
Nobody seems to love or understand me
And all the hard luck stories they keep on handing me
Where somebody shines the light
I'm coming on home tonight
Bye bye blackbird
Dont take it from me
you know I'm just guessing
It wasnt a clue
I dont know the way
You've got a brain
maybe its time to use it
Fire it up, a little warm running
Chocs away, go & meet whats coming
You aint a fool, there aint a limit
Fire it up, find out whats in it
Caught between worlds
no there aint a warning
Dont take it from me
I dont know the way
You've got a brain
maybe its time to use it
Fire it up, a little warm running
Chocs away, go & meet whats coming
You aint a fool, there aint a limit
Fire it up, find out whats in it
Chocs away, a little warm running
Fire it up go & meet whats coming
You aint a fool, there aint a limit
Looking for an answer, tough shit there's none to give.
All gone astray, lost on the way.
Looking for choices the sale's on every day, bargains galore all stowed away.
The same brick wall no matter where you stand.
No answers no choices just silence and darkness.
No truth no lies no nothing surprise surprise.
Nothing to say no matter how you try you're heading for a fall.
No matter how you try no matter what you say.

Spends his money takes his choice.
Throws his money out the window.
Good money after bad.
shit shit its all just shit
dropped in a world of it
fuck fuck its all just fucked
chalk me down for more
kick me up the arse
boot me through a week of tuesdays
I'll take my chances see where I fall
with another bag of tricks
a few subtle discrepancies
theres always vacancies
for ending up with a dodgy tenner
so pull a white dove from thin air
pull a boiled egg out my ear
shred my cash and smash my watch
and I'll be back for more
read my mind and guess the cards
stick me with 9 golden swords
box me up saw me in half
and I'll be back same time next week for more
shit...
fuck...
take that ball and chain and sling it all
the way down arsehole st
tears of joy down your cheeks
What an arsehole
What a fucking wanker
What a toss-pot ,a toe rag ,a fart in a jar
I've been dreaming
a dream that keeps recurring
Turn the corner you're there
Turns into a nightmare
Wake with a shout
I'm an arsehole
I'm a fucking wanker
'cos I can't get to grips with what the fuck you're about
I'm an arsehole
I'm a fucking wanker
I'm a toss-pot BASTARD a toe rag FUCKWIT fart in a jar
we're all arseholes
We're a bunch of wankers
We're a bunch of toss-pots FUCKWITS toe rags GOBSHITES farts in a jar
You're all arseholes
You're a bunch of wankers
You're a bunch of toss-pots FUCKWITS toe rags WETWIPES farts in a jar
We're all arseholes
We're a bunch of wankers
We're a bunch of toss-pots FUCKWITS toe rags GOBSHITES farts in a jar
and so on
Stop looking at me girl - can't you see there's no reflection
Stop looking to me - you'll find no education
In my wake - another girl is loving me now
Another girl.
Go on tell me about it - I wanna know
Then put some space between us - I'm in love with another girl
In my wake - another girl is loving me now
I've seen that stare, I've heard your reasons
A spiteful glare, hateful seasons rolling on & on
Blind hate but no remorse
A fantasy, a dream illusion of purity
Hateful seasons rolling on & on
Blind hate but no remorse
Set the controls for peace and love
Let the warheads fly love multiply
Target darkness, sow the seeds of hope & trust
It's your choice
Turn your back on hatred
Or turn your back on love
A fantasy, a dream illusion of purity
Hateful seasons rolling on & on
Batten down the hatches here comes the taxman...
boo boo ga ga do do do PINK CHERRIES...
Out where your target
meets the horizon
Thats why you're leaving
Thats why you're dying
To leave it all for dead
Take back the wasted space
You wont need the light on
You wont hear the sirens
You know he's long gone
Way off the horizon
You'd leavie it all behind
Take back this wasted time
All this way on & on for nothing
So when you're at each other for life
At each other like carving knives
Bitter Vs Twisted
Its time to leave it all for dead
All this way on & on for nothing

No difference if you do
damnation if you don't
whatever way you lose
you'll have to sit and watch it all pissing away
the choice ain't yours it's there for someone else
whatever way you choose you'll lose, the voice
taken away from you
the choice ain't yours it's there for someone else
denied a reason, the truth ain't yours
you'll have to sit and watch it all pissing away
Backed it up on Monday
Dragged it out through Tuesday
Wednesday turned to Thursday
Friday just forgot
With no thoughts for the days
He let the world turn on
The hour slipped away
Another week was gone
Hatched a plot on Monday
Backed it up on Tuesday
Wednesday turned to Thursday
Friday just forgot
Then Saturday moon boots all day
All day Sunday non entity
The money came and went
Another week was spent
Backed it up on Monday
Dragged it out through Tuesday
Wednesday turned to Thursday
Friday just forgot
With no thoughts for the days
He let the world turn on
The hour slipped away
You've simmered your thoughts
Your mind is set
Now you can only stare through eyes that hate
The glass is broken
The scent is loose
You're pushing stale air into my lungs because...
Your invitation got lost in the post
But that was no mistake
You'll have to party alone this time
Paranoid in vain
You still watch your toes
You talk about pride
Well who trod on yours?
You recognise the song
But don't know the tune
We all make mistakes
Just add another one on...
If you insist on pushing
Tunnel vision advice
I'll flip the joke on it's back
And laugh in your face this time
Your words of wisdom...
You keep on pushing
You go too far
You push, cling and bite
You can already taste those lies
You recognise the song
But the words are wrong
We all make mistakes
Just add another one on...
Oh what happened to you
Whatever happened to me?
What became of the people
We used to be (x2)
Tomorrow's almost over, today went by so fast
The only thing really (something) is the past
Oh what happened to you
Whatever happened to me?
What became of the people
We used to be
Tomorrow's almost over, today went by so fast
The only thing really (something) is the past
Oh what happened to you
Whatever happened to me?
What became of the people
Happened already, spilt your money
Walking gobshite, hollow legs
Morning brings back fools and songs
Enemies and headaches
Sweet dreams
Don't waste fingers trying to catch a knife
Same old questions multiple choice
Slide into a bottle or a chemical void
The question sits and waits on the other side
Sweet dreams you can't recall
Do the shake and vac and put the freshness back
Do the shake and vac and put the freshness back
When the room smells fresh so do you
Next time you vacuum you know just what to do
Next time you vacuum you know just what to do
Next time you vacuum you know just what to do
Do the shake and vac and put the freshness back
So why do you keep humming along now you find out you're no god
You can feel the poison in your blood
You won't notice the noise until it stops
'Cos you keep on keeping that beat alive
Weak lungs suck on any device
You can deal with it in your own time
After all it's only leisure
For too long you've been held down under a self inflicted spell
Your hands are shaking
Your legs are weak and you're out of breath
But You Keep on keeping that beat alive
There's a part of you still haunting me
A part I could never let go
A Valentine's Kiss - softened voice on the telephone
Calling me home to what
I SEE I NEED (breakfast)
There's a part of me still left with you
A part I could never return
The fabric's worn and getting on
But somehow it keeps me warm for a while
Would anybody care to elaborate
Would anyone care to point out what's going on
It's bothered me all afternoon
Wrote it down but it seems wrong
A vicious circle turning
Would anyone care to re-write this song
It's bothered me off & on for all these years
You could guess but you'd be wrong
Oh yes it's all there happening
Right there happening under your nose
Something so huge, such a monument
Must be staring down on you
Would anybody care to elaborate
Would anyone care to point out what's going on
It's bothered me off & on for all these years
I watched you chew it over and spit it out
I watched your face turn purple, the rage flood out
Answered questions A to D, all answers incomplete
Soon come the time (Soon come the time)
Soon come the day (Soon come the day)
The rhyme is lost - the shit just sails away
Old dog in the corner all farts and shit
Old dear by the speakers, fast asleep
Answered questions A to D, all answers incomplete
Soon come the time (Soon come the time)
Soon come the day (Soon come the day)
The rhyme is lost - the shit just sails away
Soon come the day
I watched you chew it over and spit it out
I watched your face turn purple, the rage flood out
Answered questions A to D, all answers incomplete
Soon come the time (Soon come the time)
Soon come the day (Soon come the day)
Your eyes fall
You're staring at your shoes again
Head bowed through a view of the nonsense
A losing streak just left you sitting staring through space
Summer's gone & all the leaves have fallen
On & on the only one to know
Withdrawn
Staring at your shoes again
Same piece of carpet same losing streak
A losing streak just left you sitting staring through space
Summer's gone & all the leaves have fallen
On & on the only one to know
The winter wind blows colder now
The wind blows colder than it's ever blown
Left you sitting staring into space
Summer's gone & all the leaves have fallen
On & on the only one to know
Withdrawn
Staring at your shoes again
Same piece of carpet same losing streak
A losing streak just left you sitting staring through space
Left you sitting staring alone
Your thoughts a thousand miles away
I'd like to sweep away the lies I could shake from you if I
tried
I'd believe your mouth but you forgot to tell your eyes
I didn't think I'd see you hanging around
You must have nothing to do
I'm sick - I love to watch you squirm, trying to hide the truth
Win some, lose some
I'd like to hire a famous painter to creosote your mouth
Throw a few devious questions about
To see if you got out of that or got out
It's the same lines you expect me to swallow
Well there is no need to hide the fact
Win some, lose some -
I've lost too much to let you sit back and relax
Too late to find the reason
Too late to wonder why
Too soon to forget the question
Too soon to have to decide
Just why I'm still thinking about the times and places
What could have been, could have been different
What should have been... It's too late
Too late to kiss the answer
Too late to slap the truth
Too soon to cover footsteps
Too soon to start anew...
On a different trail of lies
Ignoring questions and wondering why
I can't say I don't love you and just can't say I do.
Those piggy little eyes showed yesterday
Reminding me more of your stupid ways
Hopping along behind a hypocrite's smile
Offering a mouthful of teeth & snarls
But no-one cares - history's written
Just turn away...
There was blood in your eyes & your back was broke
Dutch courage turned tp splintered bone
Lying there waiting for the world to make sense
When all it had to offer was the kiss of death
I heard a little whisper but it died away
Ran it to the press but the ink ran dry
Broken back and bloody eyes
Dragged to the side of the road I left to die
Twenty nine found dead in the bath
That weren't what wife was after
Pushed the joke too far
Into the here and after
I know you can hear
That's no sense of humour
Twenty nine
Was it really the only way to see
it through to the last laugh
Thirty three found dead in a car
Went out and bought the car
Pushed the joke too far
Into the here and after
I know you can hear
That's no sense of humour
Was it really the only way to see
it through to the last laugh
You pushed too hard, you pushed too far
The punchline was lost on you
No need to wait
no need to try to even see it through
Twenty nine found dead in the bath (what's the punchline?)
Thirty three found dead in a car (what's the punchline?)
Was it really the only way to see
Try to free myself from your grasp
But keep on making the same mistakes
You told me once that nothing lasts
Now you don't remember...
You drained me of all honesty
How much more of this can take
Now I crave my sanity
Now you don't remember
Now I realise those things you said
Look into my eyes
I'll try to forget
Now I realise those things you said...
You betrayed my trust
I tried too hard for the both of us
Now I crave my sanity
Now you don't remember
You drained me of all honesty
How much more of this can take
I'm locked up in a cage
You can say whatever you like I'm not listening anymore
It makes no odds whatever you say I'm not listening anyway
You can scream until you are blue in the face
I'm not listening anymore
So don't bother - save your breath - I'm not listening anymore
JUST SHUT UP!
Stamp your feet, cry like a child I'm not listening anymore
Scream the whole house down I'm not listening anyway
I've had enough - my ears are blocked
Your views are measured in decibels
In one ear - out the other...
WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP!
You can say whatever you like I'm not listening anymore
It makes no odds whatever you say I'm not listening anyway
Stamp your feet, cry like a child I'm not listening anymore
So don't bother - don't waste your breath
Bless that summer of eighty-eight
On a bench outside the Ox & Gate
With a sponge, spanner and rusty nail
And a nice sharp piece of string
Didn't make sense then don't make sense now
But what the fuck's it matter
Martin missed it doing time
Some with smileys and bandanas
Some trailing heavy manners
From the darts to the bookies to the phone
To the bar to the cab waiting outside
The pub changed hands and word got around
Barred nutters flooded back from miles around
It was a battleground - it went off every night
Martin, Martin, I'm sure he's firing somewhere
Martin, Martin, fired up inside
He pushed it all two steps too far la la la la la
Long arm of the law
Martin missed it doing time
The back bar's cheesier, Big John looks queasier
Nostalgas easier as time goes by
But that nostalga thing says
'where the fuck you're looking?'
You've changed, there's nothing you could say to make a
difference
You're going to try, you love to try
I know you want to try to make sure, try shape a mould
Try dig a grave and push me in it
The words won't wash the rain will pass
And there'll be no truth in it
You've changed
Did you change your world?
A change for the worst
7 by 7 or 4 by 4 I don't care
It doesn't matter anymore push all you like I'm stubborn
Grab all you want it means nothing to me
Cast a die, lie down, scrape the earth over your own coffin
Six fours make ninety eight
You're not gonna get it
I was told but I left it too late
You're not gonna get it
I changed all the numbers I left behind
You're not gonna get it
It was easy to change my stride - so what?
I know what you want but you're not gonna get it...
Sevens into fifty two
You're not gonna get it
I'll take fifty, you take two
You're not gonna get it
Don't look with those pleading eyes
You're not gonna get it
What is your pleasure sir.
What is your pleasure.
My father doesn't believe in fairy tales either.
The mind is a labyrinth ladies and gentleman
A puzzle
For the powers of the brain are clearly visible
It's ways deceptively apparent
It's destintation so unknown
It's secrets still secrets
Now, if we are honest, it is the lure of the labyrinth that draws us to our chosen field.
To unlock those secrets.
Others that have been here before us have left us signs but we, as explorers of the mind, must devote our lives and energies to going further.
To trail the unexplored corridors in the hope of finding ultimately, the final solution.
You said it, you meant it
Now it is too late to take it back
You can't leave it, you can't forget it
You planted the charge now dodge the flak...
You punched a hole in every thing I ever thought of you
The air is still, the line is dead
I look around but I can't see you
You're dreaming and it's getting easier
Some big surprise, but you'll hide it
Of course you don't want to believe it
Tell a little lie let it fade away
Walk into the same mistakes
Round in circles counting time regardless
It's just nonsense, is it any wonder
You can't sweep it all aside, or hide it
Or get a decent answer with 13 and a half percent extra
Cold comfort might suit you
One more hand extended
One more day deleted
You're dreaming
I'm sure you'll find a reason to do it all again
A pissed up navvie and a beaten up whore
A tramp trying to ponse enough just one more
The blossom comes out same time each year
Just counting time regardless
You're dreaming and it's getting easier
Some big surprise, but you'll hide it
Of course you don't want to believe it
Tell a little lie let it fade away
Walk into the same mistakes
I didn't understand it
I didn't even try
I just slammed the window and watched the icy fly by
Same converstaion
Same stony ground
Ears where your mouth was second time around
You don't know why, you can't decide
You won't even try
Who will lift you off your knees?
Who will stoop to kiss your tears?
You would tie your laces
But you're too young to know
Your mind already takes you places you don't wanna go
Better call the stewards
Have them inject the doubt
You won't hear the crunch
No need to find out
The answer is waiting for you
But you won't even try
One shoe on and one shoe off
Stone in your shoe and a hole in your sock
The lock's kicked off and there's piss on the floor
That's what your sense of humour's for
Funny old world ha ha peculiar
Everybody takes a slice
Spare a copper for a blind man
And watch out for that knowing smile
[Originally by Bob Dylan]
Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
And I'm back in the rain, oh, oh,
And you are on dry land.
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now.
Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence,
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense.
And I'm just like that bird, oh, oh,
Singin' just for you.
I hope that you can hear,
Hear me singin' through these tears.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,
See what you can do.
I can make it through,
You can make it too.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Oh, I know where I can find you, oh, oh,
In somebody's room.
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way.
A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?
I'm going out of my mind, oh, oh,
With a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart.
Once Upon A Time Far Far Away
Last week just around the corner
The grunts & uglies
tuts & snarls descended
Pumped up, hissing & spitting
Pumped up, spitting & snarling
About to take the wrong turn
of their lives
Megaladon was busy tucking into
his last baleen whale sandwich
While out the mud
crawled the distant relatives
of a bunch of ignorant nutters
About to take the wrong turn
Take a life
What a waste
A pointless waste of life
Wasted years in jail
A sad fuck up
Once Upon A Time Far Far Away
Last week just around the corner
The grunts & uglies
tuts & snarls descended
Spoiling for trouble
Pumped up, hissing & spitting
Pumped up, spitting & snarling
About to take the wrong
turn of their lives
[Originally by Shannon]
We started dancing and love put us into a groove
As soon as we started to move.
The music played while our bodies displayed through the dance,
Then love picked us out for romance.
I thought it was clear the plan was we would share,
This feeling just between ourselves.
But when the music changed, the plan was re-arranged
He went to dance with someone else.
We started dancing and love put us into a groove
But now he's with somebody new - what does love want me to do?
Love said:
Let the music play he won't get away,
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again, let it play.
Let the music play he won't get away,
This groove he can't ignore, he won't leave you anymore, no, no, no.
He tried pretending a dance is just a dance, but I see
He's dancing his way back to me.
Guess he's discovered we are truly lovers,
Magic from the very start,'cause love just kept me groovin',
And he felt me movin' even though we danced apart.
So we started dancing and love put us into the groove
As soon as we started to move, as soon as we started to move.
Love said:
Let the music play he won't get away, ...
He tried pretending a dance is just a dance, but I see
He's dancing his way back to me,
He's dancing his way back to me. - Love said:
Let the music play he won't get away, ...
Let the music play he won't get away, ...
some things are best left unsaid
you shouldn't but you did
now you really wish you hadn't
because it's all gone sour
dropped 'round your ankles
mad got mad got fucking mental
when you found out what its worth
a windscreen full of parking tickets
you didn't mean to make it all worse
but now you know
dropped right in, slap of the truth
times up, truth popped up behind you
you should have shut your mouth
reeled in hook line and sinker
each week the plot gets deeper
watch percy sugden on springer
the keystone cops chasing godzilla down
chigley high st. trying to catch the last laugh
that fil reel just wont stop try thunderbirds
they might save the plot for you
who told you you're a fucking jedi
things went from bad to worse
to alphabetti spagetti
He's dreaming of a distant star
She's dreaming of a happy marriage
Living a world apart
But living on different planets
He's praying for a moonlit night
She's waiting for a sunlit morning
Trying to get the forecast right
(Sometimes sadly mistaken) wide of the mark
(Mistaken) No second chance
(Mistaken) Round in circles in the dark
Seems like it's time to guess again
She's taken him for a ride
Too soon he believes her
He said it was below the mark
She said it was a misdemeanor
He said it was a bridge too far
She said it was a step to learning
[Originally by Toys]
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up in the trees
Serenade the flowers with their melodies
Oh, see there beyond the hill
The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us just to fall in love
Now I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me
Oh, don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally
Someday we shall return
To this place upon the meadow
We'll walk out in the rain
Hear the birds above singing once again
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
Just hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
All born on the wind
Come morning another wind will blow
Could get to grips with everything
the world has got to offer
& see the other half of you
Held so deep within
Cross hatched the guard is restless
You could live & you could die
& never get to know
Never get to see the half
that aint on show
I would hear a diiferent song but the needle's stcuk, the groove is worn.
Watch the logic walk away, the words just mash to gray
and we're all left sitting 'round staring in confusion at the bundle left on the doorstep.
So if you think you know what's wrong and you see what's going on,
how come there's till rumours lurking pushed into shadow.
On and on it's only maybe.

They came from the north and they came from the south
With a little bag of half truths wrapped in doubt
They came from the east they came from the west
Looking to make a sound investment
Laid their wares out on the floor
Let a squabble out the cupboard
Caused an uproar
High tailed out the side door
Made their way down Essex road
Luxembourg nil point
Some bastard snaked the states to 5
Disaster struck
Euston minus 4
Kings Cross minus 13
Nihon san ten one repeated
A bucket full of brain cells all deleted
A rinse for JFK
A bag of bones by maida vale
They came from the north and they came from the south
With a little bag of half truths wrapped in doubt
They came from the east they came from the west
Looking to make a sound investment
Laid their wares out on the floor
Let a squabble out the cupboard
Caused an uproar
High tailed out the side door
Children Behave, that's what they say when we're
together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one
another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your
arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be
anyone around
I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is
the only sound
Look at the way we got our eye on what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one
another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your
arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be
anyone around
I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is
the only sound
I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be
anyone around
I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is
the only sound
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one
another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your
arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be
anyone around
I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is
the only sound
I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be
anyone around
I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is
the only sound
I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be
anyone around
I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is
the only sound
I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be
anyone around
I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is
scapegoat bullshit eyes don't even know
you're going sideways
stained through it all
stroll up to the counter with your pen and your ticket
with your money in your hand
on and on and on it leads you on
add up all the negatives
crawl out backwards with an answer
scratch the surface you'll find out the truth ain't yours
break the skin and you'll find out
who pulls the strings on money
on and on and on it leads you on
scapegoat bullshit eyes don't even know
you're going sideways
I've seen that stare, I've heard your reasons
A spiteful glare, hateful seasons rolling on & on
Blind hate but no remorse
A fantasy, a dream illusion of purity
Hateful seasons rolling on & on
Blind hate but no remorse
Set the controls for peace and love
Let the warheads fly love multiply
Target darkness, sow the seeds of hope & trust
It's your choice
Turn your back on hatred
Or turn your back on love
A fantasy, a dream illusion of purity
Hateful seasons rolling on & on
i saw you pass down headstone road
my heart raced on behind you
the years were stripped away
and you were mine
you looked so different now
but looks can be deceiving
heartbeat the same
same blood through your veins
the grassy knoll has long since vanished under concrete
the oak is gone
theres a record shop on the memories of days gone by
another year pops up the old one slips behind me
land bought and sold new traffic through the old
a glimpse of you could bring a bright spark of reminders
the years just slipped away
and you were mine
new traffic through the old to multistory car parks
a disused office block two roundabouts an underpass
five lighters for a pound echoes down the walkway
the oak is gone
theres a record shop on the memories if days gone by
last night on the tiles
last night in the carpark
You'll get no odds on what it needs
It takes it as it finds
Its got no time for hearts scars or excuses
So when it all came down to a little bit of luck
For 25 seconds it could have got fucked up
Chucked in a bag
Seeing it from the bottom of the river
From the train to the place where it all went pear shaped
Chucked on a plane it all went egg shaped
Chucked in a bag
Seeing it from the bottom of the river
You'll get no odds on what it needs
Just takes it as it finds
Got no time for if's or but's or maybe's
Hatred, sympathy, apathy
Its all right there to choose from
Where you gonna start
drawing the lines up
Where you gonna start
fucking it all up
Start blending with ignorance
Start leaning with indifference
Peer pressure deciding
Dehumanised
Inglorious
Hatred, sympathy, apathy, arrogance
Its laid out all before you
Where you gonna start
drawing the lines up
Where you gonna start
i'll see the dreams unfold
i'll see the doors unlocked
the dreams just blown like dust
the door slammed in your face
a twinkle in a strangers eye
strangers face, familiar smile
the dreams go sailing by
pass slowly out of sight
and it's a long way down
a short hello a long goodbye
a twinkle in a strangers eye
strangers face, familiar smile
i'll see the dreams unfold
i'll see the doors unlocked
and its a long way down
a short hello a long goodbye
in the twinkle of an eye
the comfort of a smile
the stories to be told
the days that passed you by
bad moon on the rise
don't know why
it's a short hello a long goodbye
I dont know if you saw it
coming or not
All I know is that
I saw the end result
It cant of been a pretty thing
You looked like your world caved in
Not knowing if its passed or not
There aint a happy place for shock
All the while you looked beaten
Didnt I see you cry?
Wasnt it you with the bloodshot eyes
trying to make your way
off guard in the open
It were'nt about a million
On a bet of 40 quid
It were'nt about the penthouse,
the bills incoming
A little spot of R&R;
A little something
to ease the nightmare
Not knowing if its over or not
Not knowing if its passed or not
There aint a happy place for shock
There aint no high & dry
There aint no blameless exit
Best place where you like it
You'll find it where you left it
Nice try but no cigar
Then the black box kicked in
& someone shouted
"Get us out of here"
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense
Someone else shouted
"Get us out of here"
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense
Everyone was shouting
"Get us out of here"
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense
it was up or out or out of the way
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense now
Cant somebody turn off
this fucking headache
You decide
You decide
You decide
Heave away
There aint no high & dry
There aint no blameless exit
Best place where you like it
Then the black box kicked in
& someone shouted
"Get us out of here"
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense
Someone else shouted
"Get us out of here"
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense
Everyone was shouting
"Get us out of here"
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense
it was up or out or out of the way
Cant somebody unravel
this nonsense now
Cant somebody turn off
this fucking headache
You decide
You decide
You decide
Heave away
Get up get out or
get out of the way
All your dreams are back where they belong.
All your fears are up and running strong.
The riderless takes the race.
No tears of joy for sad mistakes.
Shot through to an empty soul the horse without a rider charges on.
I'll see an empty shell of a man, torn apart, laid to waste, pin the medal on half a heart.
All you need, all that you can't get, warm morning sun, a familiar silhouette,
but your dreams are slapped away, a whip crack through a rainy day.
The lightning picks on emptiness.
The horse without a rider takes the race.
The thunder races on through dawn.
I can feel you breathing down my neck with every breath i take.
A voice to echo 'round my brain there to remind me how to
lose it all, open up a void, lose it all.
Always there breathing down my neck.
Always one step behind me.
Always there to remind me.
I'll feel your arms around me.
I'll taste your blood inside me.
Lose it all, open up a void, lose it all.
No reason, round again, dirty wisdom, a dirty friend.
What price to answer, what price to pay.
A viscous rumour is round again.
So if you're trying to keep it even then the effort's wasted.
Trying to keep it even but the ground's against it.
That burden will drag you on with the flow.
Who's answer, who's to guess.
A filthy bastard, a fucking mess.
What rhyme and jingle tagged on behind.
A viscous rumour starts to unwind.
Trying to keep it even but the hands get tired (round again).
Pushed too hard in all the wrong places.
That burden will drag you on with the flow.
So let it all come down for seventy five days.
Everything might change.
Who's to answer, who's to pay?
Waste a smile, waste an afternoon, waste a while just waiting.
Watch the thief follow the aftermath, wasting time just hanging round.
Waste an hour, watch the shadows rolling, watch the thief go walking by.
I'm sure theres always going to be foot marks and fingerprints.
I'm sure there's always going to be thieves and liars, robbers and cheats.
I'm sure there's always going to be eyes in the darkness.
I'm sure there's always going to be thieves and liars.
From me to you.
The rat ran out from underneath a bush
rat past number 10, ran back again.
A few rattus shenanigans, a cat amongst the pigeons
and a little bit of PR to smooth it over.
The pied piper started sparking up a tune but all the rats just stared at him.
He did a little dance up Highgate hill, little voice said turn again.
Is it coming to this
A rat run
Ain't we better than this?
Middle of it all I get a text from home
the kids are raising merry hell again.
Mums lost the faith, lost the will, lost the plot
she's on the phone to rentokill.
Affray into civil disobedience
right through a race riot
straight into a class war.
mum can't take no more she's calling the big guns in.
Is it coming to this?
A rat run
Ain't we better than this?
It stinks!
As the fat lady started warming up to sing,
not a pretty sound less you're hard of hearing.
Zeus was in the dressing room mixing rum and coke.
About to throw down
'bout to fling a few thunderbolts.
Mind the closing doors!
Watch the hope receding.
Rattus rattus and rattus norvegicus are chewing through the
cables.
It stinks!
Is it coming to this?
A rat run
Aren't we better than this?
I fuckin hope so
Gusting through the trees.
Whips up the leaves.
But it ain't Mary Poppins,
And it ain't E.T.
Just words hanging in the air,
words hanging on the breeze.
Words hanging in the air,
words set free.
Just for a minute I let my mind slip.
Just for a second I let my heart trip.
The hairs stood up on the back of my neck.
Imagination had the better of me,
'cos it,
Weren't Mary Poppins,
and it weren't E.T.
Just words hanging in the air,
words hanging on the breeze.
Words changed to your heart,
rush through the trees.
Words hanging in the air.
Words set free.
Just for a minute I let my mind slip.
Just for a second I let my heart trip.
The hairs stood up on the back of my neck.
Imagination had the better of me,
'cos it,
Weren't Mary Poppins,
and it weren't E.T.
Just words hanging in the air.
Words hanging on the breeze.
Words chained to your heart,
whistling through the trees,
words chained to your tongue,
falling like leaves.
Words ringing in your ears,
words set free.
Just words hanging in the air,
words hanging on the breeze,
words handing in the air,
I've seen that stare, I've heard your reasons
A spiteful glare, hateful seasons rolling on & on
Blind hate but no remorse
A fantasy, a dream illusion of purity
Hateful seasons rolling on & on
Blind hate but no remorse
Set the controls for peace and love
Let the warheads fly love multiply
Target darkness, sow the seeds of hope & trust
It's your choice
Turn your back on hatred
Or turn your back on love
A fantasy, a dream illusion of purity
Hateful seasons rolling on & on
Each day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
Cos' fashion is my only culture
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else
I don't try, I've got no reason
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
I walk along this same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find a reason
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don't complain, it's not my function
Nothing ever change, oh no...
Nothing ever change
They're just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
They're just playing in a life without thinking
They talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I walk and walk, I'm dreaming
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without meaning
Just what lived and just what died is open to conjecture.
The one that walked away can't find the words to say.
In the early morning sun death just did a little dance.
He opened up a grave and stole the day.
He stopped believing.
It's time to lose.
Just what's truth and just what's lies is open to conjecture.
The words that slipped away fell silent to the grave.
Off the early morning sun, dead man's click, a dagger in the ribs.
He opened up a grave and stole the day.
Chikatilo took me to the woods
I'm in the boot of Ted Bundy's VW
I'm sitting in Ed Geins armchair
I'm under Fred West's patio
I sleep under the floorboards at Nielson's house
Henry Lee Lucas took me for a pet
I'm laughing at John Wayne Gacy
Well there it goes, there goes the Waltzinblack.
Spiralling off into nostalgia
Take a seat
The sun's shining through the leaves,
grab a little peace amongst the turmoil.
Silently to wait
patiently to hope
an answer returns
unravelled with time.
A moment will pass
to slink to unseen
unravelled with time
to sleep maybe dream
but don't you know?
I'm in a happy place
I can die with a smile on my face remembering.
Take a seat
the sun's shining through the leaves
a little peace amongst the turmoil.
Silently to wait
patiently to hope
an answer returns
unravelled with time.
But no guarantee
and no certain way
with no certain path
and no certainty.
A moment will pass
to slink off unseen
unravelled with time
to sleep maybe dream,
but don't you know?
I'm in a happy place
Still dreaming
still scheming
hoping to put it right
Right timing, right feeling
you can make wrong seem right
If I just walk away with you
If seeing
is believing
I'll wait until I've caught sight
Right timing, right feeling,
you can make wrong seem right
If I just walk away with you
Still dreaming, still scheming
hoping to put it right
Right timing, right meaning
you can make wrong feel right
And I might just walk away with you
Cold air,
moving off the sea.
Through the reeds,
mist through the rushes.
Layer on layer,
up the estuary
Wave on wave,
bones for company.
Layer on layer,
waves breaking over sheerness middle sands.
Layer on layer,
breaking over Richard Montgomery.
Layer on layer,
200,000 years laying in the clay.
Layer on layer
not dead just sleeping.
Cold air,
over Byron's tomb.
Over me,
down the kingsfields.
Guinness,
come 4th of July.
Wave on wave,
bones for company.
Three days caged up below high tide
Hear William Kidd singing amazing grave
Layer on layer.
Two hundred thousand years laying in the clay.
Layer on layer,
not dead just sleeping.
Ain't it strange,
how things change,
rolling through the years.
All good things,
have an end.
Still I hate to say goodbye.
Good bye to all the summer days,
loved ones lost along the way,
memories and souvenirs,
silhouettes and dusty shelves.
Goodbye to all fair weather friends lost along the way.
It was all worth it,
and this song is still yours and mine.
Well you can camouflage a lie,
deceive the eye,
lie and cheat,
justify deceipt.
You can say you're not responsible,
and let your morals slip.
But I know your heart ain't as empty as that.
I know you meant well
and this song is still yours and mine.
One look in the mirror tells you nothing stays the same.
You can wallow in your loss or accept the change.
You meant well but your days are gone,
and the circle takes us back to where we began.
Like Frankie said somewhere inside there's a small child,
innocence intact.
You can strip away the laters like a Russian doll.
A simple question,
and an innocent answer back.
I know it was worth it all along.
I know your heart ain't as empty as that.
I know you meant well,
and this song's still yours and mine.
Ain't it strange,
how things change.
rolling through the years.
All good things,
have an end.
didn't know or didn't care
just left it hanging on a hook
slipped it in an envelope
left dusty on a shelf
small temple to insanity
a shrine to nowhere tucked away
an envelope no stamp no address
foolishly ignored, the wrong way
Join the legion of the damned
heart in a bucket in the lost and found
a label tied to the side of the bucket
please look after this bear.
Kings Corss, Euston, Paddington,
back to Marylebone,
and down to Tyburn.
taking it all down around you
a hearty liquid breakfast inside you.
Can you, point your finger
judge it all on your own terms
and let the whole world go to hell?
Whether sister or brother
it won't work without each other.
Can you turn your eyes,
turn your head,
turn your heart off,
turn and walk away?
Standing on a wobbly soapbox.
A hypocrite I should be in the stocks.
But if you're so pure and innocent
I'll supply the rotten eggs.
Reasons, grievances, what ifs,
are you happiest pissing on your chips?
With your voodoo dolls, thousand yard stare,
and a death wish that'll get you there.
Can you, point your finger
judge it all on your own terms
and let the whole world go to hell?
Whether sister or brother
it won't work without each other.
Can you turn your eyes,
turn your head,
turn your heart off,
turn your heart off,
Draw a line in the dirt bring out the worst in a person
hang out the flag on some mumbo jumbo
Enough to turn a good mind bad
enough to twist a simple heart
monarchy religion, and a list of wars
A moulded lie pushed to conform, brain washed by media tycoons
A fat arms deal will pull the strings, religion only fans the flames
Lights out
Enough to turn a good mind bad
Lights out
They'll fuck with you, try twist your head
Lights out
No choice but keep you in the dark
Lights out
they're messing with your hearts
what's it going to be when the oil runs out
what's it going to be when your moneys dead
If history repeats it's just a list of wars
A moulded lie pushed to conform, brain washed by media tycoons
A fat arms deal will pull the strings, religion only fans the flames
enough to turn a good mind bad
enough to twist a simple heart
Power and money politics, and a list of wars
Draw a line in the dirt bring out the worst in a person
hang out the flag on some mumbo jumbo
A moulded lie pushed to conform, brain washed by media tycoons
A fat arms deal will pull the strings, religion only fans the flames
enough to turn a good mind bad
enough to twist a simple heart
From underneath the ice
blue sky's serene
Just let me drift away.
Whatever you want to say I know it all means nothing in the end.
That's the only thing that I know now.
The mirage dances
pretty in the eye.
The golden silence stretches on.
To all the questions the wrong answer.
All to nothing in the end.
That's the only thing I know now.
I want to see you miles away
And you know it all seems miles away
From underneath the ice blue sky looks so serene.
It all seems miles away
The mirage dances pretty in the eye
It all seems miles away
Always nothing from something in the end
Whos that nutter
dressed up in binbags
Whos that nutter
cracked up on the tube steps
Makes perfect sense to me?
Whos that nutter
dressed up in binbags
Whos that nutter
cracked up on the tube steps
Whos that nutter
cadging White Lightning
Whos that nutter
cracked up on the tube
