If all men are evil
And all the girls are good
There are bad men in the dead trees
And a girl in the wood
All the little children when you catch him
Open up his soul
Drop a going back to the womb pill
And cover up the hole
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
Take out the big shovel
And wade it through the earth
This man's so old with evil
He should have been put down at birth
But the people can't decide
Whether to laugh or cry
I say hang him on the tv, don't give a blind fuck
This man deserves to die
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
If all men are evil
Then all girls are good
There's bad language in the trees
Something dirty in the wood
All the little children when you catch him
Open up his soul
Drop a going back to the womb pill
And cover up the hole
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
Oh yeah i'm happy now
And when the sun comes up and i can't get a tan
We got love on our fingers
And hate on our knuckles
We just can’t get it off
We just can’t get it off
We might as well give it up
Throw our hands in the air
And wave them in the air
Like you just don’t care
We got an apple in our forehead
And love’s got a gun
We just can’t shake it off
We just can’t shake it off
We might as well give it up
Throw our hands in the air
And wave them in the air
Like you just don’t care
L-O-V-E on our fingers
L-O-V-E on our knuckles
I just can’t get enough
We just can’t get enough
We might as well give it up
Throw our hands in the air
You & me
Me & you
(x3)
You & me & me & you & you & me & me
& me & you
As long as we are one, one of what?
I don't care
One of what?
I don't care
(x2)
................ In any language, baby
It means I love you
I look in the mirror
I see right through
I am beside myself
When I'm inside you
You make the sky green
You make the sun blue
No, baby, it ain't God I love...it's you
Me & you, You & me, me & you & you & me
So complicated
It's so unexpurgated
Underrated
Over sensationalised
Under materialised
Ooh, such big words
We don't need them
All we need is you & me
We are not cool
We are not crazy
We steal cars
Because we're lazy
We are not risky
We are not bad
We burn down houses
Just to make us sad
I'm too handsome to be homeless
We are not famous
We are not known
We break into hotels
Just to feel at home
We cannot read
We cannot write
We makeout in cars
Then we set them alight
I'm too handsome to be homeless
We die for pleasure
We kill for fun
We give you children
But we won't make you come
Hug your wives
Kiss your sons
Corkscrew your fingers
one is you
two is me
three's a baby
four's the family
buy the cake
buy the ring
get the knife
stick it in
cos it all adds up you've got one stab at love
cos I'm gonna love you til you die
cos I'm gonna love you til you die
five is love
six is plastic
seven's money
eight's fantastic
buy the car
buy the house
get the wheels
flick the mouse
cos it all adds up you've got one stab at love
cos I'm gonna love you til you die
cos I'm gonna love you til you die
slap your kids
hit your wife
cos you hate your life
screw the f-word in your fist
cross the numbers off your list
You'll never be much wiser than a failed womaniser
for once in your life be a man and expire
cos I'm gonna love you til you die
There’s something, there’s something going on.
There’s something going on, going on, going on.
There’s something going on.
There’s something going on.
There’s something going on.
There’s something going on.
But I can’t fight it, I can’t find it.
But I can’t fight it.
But I can’t fight it.
There’s something going on.
There’s something going on.
There’s something going on.
There’s something going on.
But I can’t fight it, (I can’t fight it.)
But I can’t fight it. (but I can’t fight it.)
But I can’t fight it. (but I can’t fight it.)
so I was wrong
it wasn't love
at first sight
tonight
so I'll sleep on the couch
if you turn out the light
I can't change you
I just love the way you are
The way you are
so I was wrong
to drive you home
you were drunk
and all alone
I said I love you
you said OK
but that was last night
now it's today
I can't change you
I just love the way you are
The way you are
I can't change you
I just love the way you are
The way you are
We'll buy you new skin
We'll buy you clothes
get you glass shoes
break your toes
We'll put new fists in
on bust-up wings
squeeze you in
and let you sing
on golden fingers
some knuckle dust
you'll never break
you'll never rust
you'll always be this pretty thing
that spins around
and sings
I can't change you
I just love the way you are
here they come
the little things
building up
to everything
here she comes
my little love
swimming round my blood
MY LITTLE LOVE ... MY LOVE
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS ... I LOVE
MY LITTLE LOVE ... MY LOVE
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS ... I LOVE
when she's gone
my breathing stops
when she's back
I breathe again
here she is
my little spark
lighting up
the dark
MY LITTLE LOVE ... MY LOVE
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS ... I LOVE
MY LITTLE LOVE ... MY LOVE
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS ... I LOVE
my love
my love
my love
my love
MY LITTLE LOVE ... MY LOVE
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS ... I LOVE
MY LITTLE LOVE ... MY LOVE
I got this no good, dead wood, motherfucking itch and i am going to hell
They got this small pen, fat pig, 2 foot by one and it's beginning to smell
I got this low-brow, white trash smoking my tongue and i'm being kissed
Like a kid
They got this hi-fi, big sound bleeding my ears and i can't get rid
I got the life
I never thought
That i'd be born with
But now i'm itching
For you to scratch me
Like all the records that your needle has worn
I got a six-pack, big ship no deck kid who couldn't write when he sung
He took a mic in his hand like a prick on a rope and waited there to be swung
They got this big light, white wash spot on his tan and watched it burning
His skin
And then the hi-fi, white trash smoking my ear
Got his face kicked in
I got the life
I never thought
That i'd be born with
But now i'm itching
For you to scratch me
Like all the records that your needle has worn
With the screen round my face, covered in light
I will never go blind
I got this cable satellite nibbling my eyes
But i can't switch off my mind
I got this low-brow, white trash licking my skull
And it feels so good
It's got this big pull, half-full little buzz
That i've misunderstood
I got the life
I never thought
That i'd be born with
But now i'm itching
For you to scratch me
Wanna get low
Wanna get high
Glue’s in the bag
like the clouds in the sky
Sticks to the cider, sticks to your lips
Wanna get the spiders off my hips
Try and make out
when you don’t get kissed
You wanna get it up but
she broke you wrist
Dad’s got your arms
and mothers got your fists
Crossing off the kids on the Xmas list
The F-Word’s here
But the F-Word’s bad
Curse my mother
And curse my dad
But I love my mother
And I love my dad
Wanna have all that they never had
Wanna get high
Wanna get low
Girl’s got your bottle
and she won’t let go
So you grow up fast
You can’t slow down
Make another kid
with a bag for a crown
Mother’s in a car, dad’s at the door
Love’s got an applehead
bitten to the core
Plugged-up eyes
Sockets all raw
Try to plug the gap
but you wonder what for
The F-Word’s here
But the F-Word’s bad
Curse my mother
And curse my dad
But I love my mother
And I love my dad
Found you on the roadside
Little cuts and bruises underneath your chin
You begged them to bury you before your life sets in
She sees me in the garden
Pulling petals off the flowers
She closes all the windows
Shuts down on the bed and shivers
Take her back in time to the place before it happened
Before it happened
Take me back in time to the place where it happened
Where it happened
He scratched your eyes, your pretty eyes
With a handful of rusty nails
And then he pushed you into a ditch
With the slugs and the snails
I'm so angry she's not angry
Every second of every hour
She shuts the door and slides the latch in
Tries to wash him off in the shower
Take her back in time to the place before it happened
Before it happened
Take me back to the roadside where, where it happened
Before it happened
Where it happened
He lay there for three days
Your heart held in his knuckles
He tried to pull out your hair
Rip the scalp with his buckle
Look at you now
You're like no girl I know
I would have stabbed him
(who would have stopped me?)
I would have stabbed him
(you would have stopped me)
SOMETIME
WHEN YOU'RE HOME LATE
AND NO-ONE COMES DOWN
DON'T MAKE A SOUND
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
AND SLEEP ON THE COUCH
DON'T LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT
LOOK AT YOUR KIDS
LOOK AT YOUR WIFE
THIS WAS YOUR LIFE
YOUR LIFE WAS HER LIFE
DON'T LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT.
SOMETIMES
WHEN SHE COMES BACK
SHE'S AS COLD AS ICE-CREAM
LIKE A HOT KNIFE
YOUR TATTOOED FINGERS
CAN'T TOUCH HER ANY MORE
DON'T LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT
LOOK AT YOUR KIDS
LOOK AT YOUR WIFE
THIS WAS YOUR LIFE
YOUR LIFE WAS HER LIFE
NOW YOU'VE GONE AND LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT
SOMETIME
WHEN YOU'RE LONELY
AND NO-ONE COMES AROUND
IT'S TOO LATE
MAKE IT RIGHT NOW
YOU WERE WRONG TO LEAVE
Take a look at the sky
Take a look at the ground
Take a look ahead
You’ll hear the sound
Take a look at the ground
The way your feet don’t move
Spinning like car wheels
In one dead Groove
In one dead groove
Take a look at your eyes
Like the holes in the ground
Uncover your face
Till you hear the sound
Somewhere you shouldn’t be
before your ears got wings
Things you never want to hear
So high the air stings
In one dead groove
You can get so high
From one dead groove
You can touch the sky
The other night, I saw you lying there,
I didn't want to wake you up
The next day, I saw you lying there,
I didn't want to wake you up
The next evening, I saw you lying there
You hadn't moved an inch
The next day, I saw you lying there,
I wish that i could wake you up
Sha la sha la sha la
The next day, I shouted in your ear,
I wish that I could wake you up
The next week I kicked you in the head
I wish that I could wake you up
Three days later you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Three years later you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
The other evening, I had a dream
You came into my head
I tried to touch you, I tried to kiss you,
I couldn't wake you up
My hands went through you, I grabbed the pillow,
I cut the fucker up
I really need you, I really miss you
I want to wake you up
Five years later, you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Ten years later, you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Fifteen years later, you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Twenty years later, you're underground
I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hear the tick of a bomb
All your hair in a fuse
You ask me for a light
To blow away these blues
Run me a bath, then plug me in
I'm like a T.V. learning to swim
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
Here you go
You have the power
To turn the rain off
Leave the shower
Start the plane
Stop your brain
Like a flower
Get away with you
Get away from me
Get away from all of it across the sea
Get away with you
Get away with me
Get away with all of it across the sea
When you get there
Don’t let your brain tease
Just let the suncream
Burn your knees
Feel the sunshine
Empty your mind
Drift it all out on the breeze
Get away with you
Get away from me
Get away from all of it across the sea
Get away with you
Get away with me
It was the night before
When i knocked on your door
Had the buttons of your dress in my eye
3 o'clock in the morning
When my mind is dawning
I remember what i've done and i cry
You make me feel like a man
Who can't see that his time has come
You're so pretty - i'm so dumb
I'm the first man on the sun
Stuck a fork in my leg
Trying to remember your name
Hid my trousers as they slowly bled
Caught my brain in my zip
Let my intelligence slip
As i failed to get you into my bed
Can't make you feel like a woman
Who can see that her time has come
You're so pretty - i'm so dumb
I'm the first man on the sun
It was the night before
When i knocked at your door
Put your fingers to my head and went bang
Put her hands down my trousers
And pulled out my tongue
She was lucky to get life
And not hanged
You make me feel like a man
Who can't see that his time has come
You're so lovable, i'm athug
There’s bugs in the jam jar
They choking
They forgot to put in holes
Their legs are broken
With their wings sprinkled on the floor
If I find them, I’m gonna kill them
It wasn’t me it was my friends
If I find them, I’m gonna kill them
It wasn’t me it was my friends
There’s bugs in the room
And they’re listening
I can’t see the fire in their tails
The fireflies are hiding
And listening to every single word
If I find them, I’m gonna kill them
It wasn’t me it was my friends
If I find them, I’m gonna kill them
Step one, don’t kill yourself
Step two, don’t do yourself in
Step three, don’t play with knives
Step four, don’t trust anyone
When you’re kicked around and knocked down
And you’ve got nothing left to give
And you can’t breathe, and you can’t hear yourself think
Climb up on your box, take the rope down from the beam
Baby wake up, it’s not a dream
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
At the failed suicide club
Sitting in a circle, crying…
Step five, stay alive
Step six, get a quick fix
Step seven, don’t go to heaven
Step eight, just wait
When you’re put down like a little kid
And you’ve got nowhere to live
And you wanna go, but your feet stick to the floor
Come back from the edge, put your shoes back on
Baby come here, it’s our song
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
At the failed suicide club
Sitting in a circle, smiling
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
At the failed suicide club
Sitting in a circle, smiling
Step nine, put the bomb down
Step ten, put your clothes on
Step eleven, let’s find love
Step twelve…at the club
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
At the failed suicide club
Sitting in a circle, smiling
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
At the failed suicide club
Sitting in a circle, smiling
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
Yes you’ve made it, you’re here
At the failed suicide club
Sitting in a circle, smiling...
You got music in the palm of your hands
And there's money for the drugs and the band
You got pretty little kids you can bruise
But you can't get the talent off your shoes
You got eyes in the back of my head
He's got a tiny little radio mind
And a pale green face at the stop sign
He's a dram for the misunderstood
Now black's the new blue and bad's the new good
You got eyes in the back of my head
They got eyes in the back of your head
It's like a blind man sleeping in your bed
You pay him absolutely nothing for relief
But you need it much more than self-belief
When the diamonds in your smile fall out,
when the laughter in this house runs away
and the men come to take away the T.V.
And you find yourself changing the locks.
And the line on my face just can't be for me,
like the gun in your hand can't just be for me.
When the sticks and stones start to hurt
and we're talking just to dig up dirt.
With our minds running out in the street and we're stuck into the house like concrete
And the blood on my hands, just can't be for me
And the life that goes on, just can't be for me
And the line on my face just can't be for me,
Take me in your arms again
Wash me in your eyes
Tie me to the house again
Love me 'till love dies
Blame me for everything
Not just the bad times
Whispering sweet nothings in your ear
Just like a dead bird sings
Look into my face again
Between us there's a mile
I can see a hole in the sky
As wide as your smile
As wide as your smile
It's not that you've gone away
It's that I've never met you
But I wish you'd come back to me
Just like the night turns blue
Just like the night turns blue
Just like a dead bird sings
Have you ever seen the golden mile
Have you ever driven someone wild
Have you ever wanted to kill a screaming child
Have you ever taken the mean out of meanwhile
Oh, I hope so
(x3)
I look up at the sky
And a plane's flying by
Smoking around the loops of your nickname
I used to call you CFC
It used to rhyme with happy
But now I'm sad
I've got no one to blame
Except myself
And that's selfish
So I'm going out
With my suitcase & my kisscurl
And I'm going out to change the world
But it's so easy for me to say
When I sit on my butt all day
So angry and clenching my fist
Crossing the word selfish off my list
Off my list
Have you ever sat down
And started to smile
At the old man who got up & danced
His way for a good cause to France
Oh, I hope so
What is this beautiful thing we've found
It's so shiny, bright & round
So I went into town
And bought a little patch of ground
And I put a shop on top
And bought myself some stock
Oh, my little cornershop
Oh, my little cornershop
Oh I'm so happy I could scream
In my little store on the green
Where everything is fine
Where everything is fine
So fine
I found some corrugated steel
And banged it to the window with my heel
And now nobody's going to get in
After half past ten in the evening
In the evening...
Oh my 2nd little
Oh my 3rd little
Oh my 4th little...cornershop
Oh my 5th little
Oh my 6th little
Oh my 7th little..cornershop
Oh I'm so happy I could scream
In my 8th little store on the green
Are you the tornado in my sails
Are you Jesus without the nails
Are you the bury met without the rails
Are you Paris without snails
Of course you're not
But you're all I've got
And that's fine & dandy
When you lick my candy girl
(And I don't mean that rude)
When you lick my
When you lick my candy
Are you Disneyland without whales
Are you a farmer without bales
Are you the red lion without ales
Are you the lakes without the dales
Naturally you're not
But you're all I've got
And that's fine & dandy
When lick my candy girl
(And I don't mean that rude)
When you lick my
When you lick my candy
Are you Ra without Dion
Are you the words in the sky without neon
Are you indigenous or did you disappear
Are you the lime in my bottleneck of beer
you make it wrong
to feel bad
you make it stupid
to feel sad
you give my heart
superblood
makes it better
better than love
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN JESUS
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN DRUGS
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN ANYTHING
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN LOVE

to feel good
you'd made it alright
when you could
you give me more
than anybody should

cos you're better than love
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN TV
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN GOD
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN EVERYTHING
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... FEEL FEEL FEEL FEEL
BETTER THEN LOVE
BETTER THEN LOVE

like electric chairs in the shower

YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN ANYONE
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN LOVE
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN JESUS
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... FEEL FEEL FEEL FEEL FEEL
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN TV
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN DRINK
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ... BETTER THAN ANYTHING
You can love me if you want to
But it's best if you don't
You can believe me, you can deceive me
But it's best if you don't
You could date me, you could hate me
But it's best if you don't
We could have kids, we could grow old
But it's best if we don't
I'm untouchable, yes I am
But if you wanna touch me, you can
I'm a bastard, you know that I am
But that's just what you like in a man
You can hold me, you can scold me
But it's best if you don't
You could tease me, you could please me
But it's best if you don't
I'm untouchable, yes I am
But if you wanna touch me, you can
I'm a bastard, you know that I am
I should be locked up for who I am
I'm unloveable, yes I am
But if you want to love me, you can
I've got straight white teeth and a tan
But that's just what you like in a man
Sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la
You could trust me, you could bust me
But it's best if you don't
It would kill me if you left me
But I don't think you will
I'm untouchable, yes I am
But if you want to touch me, you can
I'm a bastard, you know that I am
But that's just what you like in a man
I'm unloveable, yes I am
But if you want to love me, you can
I've got straight white teeth and a tan
But that's just what you like in a man
Sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la
It's time to come down from your spire
Jesus come back, you're a liar
I've covered the church in fish wire
I'll know you're here, like hellfire
Hell fire
If we hear a trip in the aisle
Turn on the lights with a big smile
There's no beautiful child
It's tealeaves with the roof tiles
Tealeaves with the roof tiles
We go on home with the radio on
Tune into paradise on the long wave
For a millionth time a born again song
He had a bad old man who beat him
Took a hammer to his knees just to please him
Now he's thirty-five and half-alive
He's an open mouth in a beehive
He's gonna smile and be happy
Make everyone know that he's happy
Put his smiling face on a billboard
Kiss him from your car, he's happy
He's not happy
With his swollen lips around his early teens
In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes
Some days he's half-man, and then he's half-God
But on his blue days he wouldn't touch his greens
He's gonna make you smile and be happy
Make everyone know that he's happy
Put his smiling face on the TV
Kiss him from your chair, make him happy
He drowned his stepson in the duckpond
Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song
He put razor blades in the ice cream
Shot a paedophile in a wet dream
He's got a young man who feeds him
Whispers sweet nothings just to please him
He makes him cool for the TV
Makes half the man he is a celebrity
With his swollen lips around his early teens
In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes
He's half a man, and half a God
One half bitch, one half dog.
He drowned his stepson in the duckpond
Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song
He put razor blades in the ice cream
Made nobody famous on the big screen
Put the whole wide world on remote control
He put a five times rapist on his TV show
On every single channel in every single home
You can even hear his voice on the telephone
Put the car in reverse
and come back to me
without you this house is a hearse without wheels
you can't work out which cringing
which cringing feels worse
when i touch you like this
on the place that it hurts
Give me all that you have
if you don't i will steal it
all the things that you've lost
i can reel them in
i'm falling apart every minute of every hour
but you're there to put me back together again
When i don't know where you are
i feel lost
your trail feels so warm
but i'm covered with frost
when i left in the morning
she smelled so good
then i whispered quite nicely, quite rightly
I can make you feel good
you can make me feel bad
i'll never get you back
so you'll never be sad
give me all that you have
if you dont i will steal it
all the things that you`ve lost
i can reel them in
now you`re falling apart
every moment of every day
you`re not here to put me
Baby bird...don't you cry
Don't you fly away from me
..don't you fly
..don't you fly
La la la...
I've gift-wrapped you a tiny tree
With golden leaves for you & me
To set-up home in a beautiful nest
You can lie here on my soft red chest
My soft red chest
La la la...
Baby baby bird...I'm so lonely
And the sky is so cold & unstable
Baby bird...don't you cry
Don't you fly away from me
..don't you fly
(x4)
Baby baby bird...let me be
The cage around your Christmas tree
You out there, me in here
Never, never set me free
Baby bird...set me free
..set me free
You asked me not to speak
Then kissed me on the cheek
You said that I was wrong
You said that I was weak
I tried to think awhile
You said I was too long
And when I tried to smile
You sung this pretty song
Drink this baby, it's atomic soda
It'll blow your mind back to how it was
Standing in the snow, icicles on your nose
I felt what once was through your frozen clothes
Standing on the shore, looking at the lake
My arm around you won't stop you shake
In the Wintertime when the leaves are gone
I look at you & wonder what's wrong
You were so strong, I was so weak
There's a highway in the sky, and the people drive their Buics to the moon.
I remember the good old days up, up in my beautiful balloon,
my beautiful balloon, my beautiful lead balloon, my beautiful balloon.
On Aluminium Beach where the preachers preach.
On Aluminium Beach where the teachers teach,
and the magnet of truth pulls out your teeth,
on Aluminium Beach, on Aluminium Beach,
on Aluminium Beach, on Aluminium Beach, on Aluminium Beach.
I was sucked out by a leech on Aluminium Beach
and I cleared out my throat with Vodka and bleach.
I sung like a goat on Aluminium Beach.
I found my niche just out of reach on Aluminium Beach,
on Aluminium Beach, on Aluminium, Aluminium, Aluminium Beach.
There's a highway in the sky, and the people drive their Fords to the moon.
I remember the bad old days when you burst my balloon,
when you burst my balloon,
my balloon, my balloon, my balloon,
my balloon on Aluminium Beach,
on Aluminium Beach, on Aluminium Beach,
on Aluminium Beach, on Aluminium Beach,
on Aluminium Beach, on Aluminium, Aluminium Beach.
The sunshine in your eyes,
it withers like bluebottle flies coming out of cans on the beach.
They'll beseech you, they'll bewitch you,
they'll beseech you, they'll bewitch you they'll beseech you
to come on down to Aluminium Beach,
Aluminium Beach, to Aluminium Beach,
YOUR HEART IS LIKE A SWARM OF BEES
A LITTLE BREEZE THAT MAKES A SOUND
I WANT TO CLIMB UP
YOU WANT TO CLIMB DOWN
YOU WANT TO RUN
I WANT TO FREEZE
SEE MY HEART, IT'S ON THE OUTSIDE
BOOM BOOM, YOU SMELL THE BLOOD
SHOW ME KNOW, PRETTY PLEASE
WHERE'D YOU HIDE THE LOVE
ALL I EVER REALLY WANTED
ALL I WANT IS LOVE
THERE I GO, ONCE AGAIN
TURNED IT ROUND LIKE A BIG TRUCK (?)
FILLED YOUR HEAD LIKE A CB
ALL SCRAMBLED AND FUCKED-UP
GOT STUNG ON MY LITTLE TEASE
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE THE BIG DISEASE
SO NOW YOU SAY, YOU SAY TO ME
WHERE'D YOU HIDE THE LOVE?
CHORUS
NOW MY HEART'S THAT SWARM OF BEES
MY HEAD BUZZES ON MY KNEES
I WANT MY FEET TO RUN AWAY
I WANT YOU HERE TO STAY
TO EASE AWAY ALL I SAID
TO PUT MY HEART INSIDE YOUR HEAD
I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT EVERY DAY
WHERE'D YOU PUT THE LOVE?
All I know is all you know and all you know is all I know
For all you know it's all I know for all I know it's all you know.
There's nothing left between us,
Nothing left between, there's nothing left between us
and nothing in between.
Come back come back come back come back.
My little heart is not alone,
under a card you made your home.
Now all I hear's your pretty voice silent on the telephone.
There's nothing in my brain
There's nothing in your heart
There's nothing left to stop us
Nothing left to start
Come back come back come back come back
We've decided not to speak, decided not to hear,
decided not to fall apart to wait another year,
but theres nothing left between us.
Nothing left between, there's nothing left between us
and nothing in between.
There's nothing left between us
There's nothing left between
There's nothing left between us
and nothing in between
Come back come back
There's nothing left between us
nothing left between
There's nothing left between us
nothing in between
There's nothing left between us
There's nothing left between
There's nothing left between us
and nothing in between.
Come back come back
Come back come back
All I know is all you know and all you know is all I know
For all you know it's all I know for all I know it's all you know
With nothing left between us
Nothing left between
Theres nothing in beween us
and nothing in between.
With nothing left between us
and nothing in between.
There's nothing left between us
and nothing inbetween.
Come back come back
Oh Alison, oh Alison, Alison, oh Alison, Alison, Alison,
Oh Alison Don't think me a fool for loving you
I can't go to school to unlearn this feeling.
There is no tool to chisel, to sand, to undo this reeling.
Ring back, ring back.
Oh Alison, oh Alison,
Don't think me dumb for loving you.
There's no rule of thumb to go by to get through.
And the days go by but don't let them take you away.
But I know you won't because you're strong,
and I was wrong, so Alison, here's your song.
Oh Alison, Oh Alison, oh Alison
Oh Alison, Oh Alison, oh Alison
Oh Alison, Oh Alison, oh Alison
Oh Alison, Oh Alison, oh Alison
Oh Alison, Oh Alison, oh Alison
Alan Ladd was a good man.
He shot holes in the wigwams.
What would he say to the cavalry, now?
'I've got a touch of the Van Dammes.'
Here's another slug in your eye.
Catch you on the wagon again,
on the wagon again.
If you dance on the desert floor enough
Indians will come back like rain.
Bopping around on the ground like Hollywood made them
To fall off the map, to fall off the map,
to fall off the map for John Wayne
ooh, John Wayne (John Wayne)
John Wayne
I wish I had your brain
John Wayne
I wish I had your brain
Yeah and my gun,
I'll sing about love
'Till I'm 45 & fat
I'll take almost anything
But I won't take that
You can tie me up in knots
But I'll keep on coming
You can take away my voice
But I'll keep on humming
c-o-c-a
c-o-l-a
'Till I turn blue
Sing-singing about love
I'll take any old tat
But I won't take that
We'll teach the world to sing
You all know the words
So singalong, singalong, singalong
For a better world
C-o-c-a
Remember that tanktop you bought me
You wrote you're gorgeous on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet
You got me to hitch my knees up
And pull my legs apart
You took an instamatic camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart
Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through
You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an icecube on my chest
Snapped me 'till it hurt
You said I wasn't cheap
You paid me twenty pounds
You promised to put me in a magazine
Oh you ugly beautiful thing
Oh you, oh you, oh you.
You ugly beautiful thing i'm in between your head and your sting
Unfolding out your wings one by one 'til you sing like king bing, you.
Oh you beautiful thing i'm in-between the ball beat ball of the king,
Holding out no cheques, drinking castrol not becks
Plugging in tv flex into my kecks
I dare you to change the fucking channel now. puts!
Ugly beautiful thing i'm between your head and your sting
Whirling out your wings one by one 'til you sing like king king bing
Ugly beautiful thing how i sing with your plastic wing on the tips of my broken wing.
Oh i'm so shy when you ride up so high and i cry because i can see the possibility that you might one day die.
Oh baby cool you know that thing, that thing you do that i love,
You keep doing it, doing it, doing it, and i can't get over that thing.
That thing that you keep, keep doing, doing it, doing it, doing it drives me mad,
I love it, do it, do it, do it, do it, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Calm down, son. sing the fucker like a baby.
Yeah mom, i'm bad.
You ain't a bad son, son, you're a fucking king.
You're the son of god, you're mine, i'm mary, i made you,
I forgive you baby. come to mummy!
Butt-a-bing butt-a-bang butt-a-bing butt-a-boom boom boom.
Butt-a-bing butt-a-bang butt-a-bing butt-a-boom boom boom.
Butt-a-bing butt-a-bang butt-a-bing butt-a-boom boom boom.
Butt-a-bing butt-a-bang butt-a-bing butt-a-boom boom bang.
King, the word king.
Son, i call you a king, you ain't poor paul king (?), you're the king.
Ugly beautiful thing i'm between your head and your sting whirling out your wings one by one
Until you sing like a king bing.
Ugly beautiful thing butt-a-bing, butt-a-boom.
You ain't butter, you ain't harry, you ain't even the artist formerly known as prince,
Ah, ah, ah, you're a king, you're a king, you're a king, you're a king.
Ugly beautiful thing. ugly beautiful thing.
See what all that means is that blue is really yellow, you grow old, you mellow, orange turns you on.
It's rust, it's things rotting.
It's mike and the mechanics doing celine dion doing sting.
Fony give away a hundred thousand cds to virgin, our price and all hmvs.
Wish i'd thought of it, it's so cool,
It's music for thick people, lowest common denomination,
All hidden under the steeple, roof tiles and a hatch with weeds,
Big tits and tight behinds,
A guy on the hatch improvise and men who stack singles for £1.99.
Get the fucker in the chart, charge £3.99.
Take a cut off the supplier, off the artist, off the public, off the quick to buy and slow to think.
Hey that's why. you know i know.
When will people realise that if you put shit on the dance set and spin it at 45 rpm, 120 bpm you'll still hear it stink?
I'm out of here, whatever, amen.
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da,
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
You ugly beautiful thing. you ugly beautiful thing. you ugly beautiful thing.
You ugly beautiful thing. you ugly beautiful thing. you ugly beautiful thing.
You ugly beautiful thing. you ugly beautiful, beautiful, ugly, ugly, beautiful, ugly, ugly, beautiful, beautiful, ugly, beautiful, ugly, ugly, beautiful, ugly, beautiful, ugly, beautiful thing.
Oh. i'm getting into jamiraquoi territory now man.
Fucking stop it dead now.
Shut the drummer up. shove it up the arse!.
Saxophone - fuck off!
Yeah be bop be lula be bop boo, yeah,
Wiggy wiggy whack whack,
Wiggy wiggy whack whack,
Wiggy wiggy wiggy wiggy wiggy wiggy whack.
Whack whack wiggy wiggy,
Whack whack wiggy wiggy,
Wig wig wig wig wig wig whack.
Way up in the clouds
Angels don't fly
Big silver birds
Re-writing the sky
Taxi & take off now
I close your eyes
Look out of the window
Watch the ground die
I live all day-to vacate the place-I love-uh huh
I work all day-to leave the way I live-behind
Way down on the ground
People don't fly
But here we at the airport
Like ladybirds in July
Just like back home
I wish that you were here
If I had a cellular phone
I'd drown it in my beer
I was once like you
Dreaming you were me
Locked inside your pretty head
Wishing I was free
But I was so different then
And you were roughly the same
Love was in your pretty head
Look at my hands
They're all over you
My rusty nails stuck to you like glue
My arms around you like audio tape
Got a little red horn underneath this cape
It's not dirty
It's not rude
I'll go to Kuwait if I wanna get, wanna get,
Wanna get crude
It's not filthy
It's not lewd
I wanna get famous just so I can get sued
Guess who's my girlfriend, yeah, ten out of ten
Yeah it's Jesus, she's my girlfriend
Want to know who my boyfriend is,
No, nought out of ten
Jesus ain't a man, she's my girlfriend
Jesus is my girlfriend
It's not drink, It's not food
It's a man in a shuttle with a tube
I can't fly, so what, I can't cook
Can't even catch a tune with a hook
I've been to Hong Kong & South Dakota
In a little wood plane without a motor
Got a girl in bed, when I took it further
Where Jamaica? No I coaxed her. Ha! Ha!
I love her
My girlfriend
I love her
[Stephen Jones]
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
I tick like a bomb,
a little bomb with feelings
in every single country,
under every ceiling.
There’s no feeling, there’s no feeling at all
There’s no feeling, there’s no feeling at all
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
I’m built like a house
A little house that’s peeling
As it peels away then you’ll see
There’s no feeling, there’s no feeling at all
There’s no feeling, there’s no feeling at all
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
I burn like a tree at the end of the garden.
We’ve put up a swing for the children.
There’s no feeling there’s no feeling at all.
With the world on TV she’s given up believing
There’s nothing left to see,
I was teasing.
I was teasing, I was teasing her on
I was teasing, I was teasing her on
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
We were happy being stupid, happy being dumb
Sad not being happy, happy having fun
And the rain comes down
And makes a fool out of us
We wet our hair
And murder the raindrops
Oh but we don't hear it coming
We don't hear it coming
And i won't say goodbye
Because i was never here
And i won't say hello
Because it wouldn't be true
And if i told you that the sky was green today
Lying upside down
Looking at the grass
Would you believe me?
Would you understand why i told you what i did?
Would you understand me?
Or just put me down as another fool?
And you can't say goodbye
Because i am always here
And you can't say you love me
Because it wouldn't be true
And the rain comes down
And makes a fool out of us
We wet our lips
And murder the raindrops
Oh but we don't hear it coming
We don't hear it coming
But the cats and the birds do
Sometimes my heart stops
And I can't see you through the teardrops
You hold me like a sister holds a brother
Just a little sad that we feel that way
Somewhere under your skin
Someplace no one can break in
Somewhere I just can't get to
Something that is just for you
We're black flowers, you and me
We never grew up, successfully
Felt like we hung out all day in a noose
Waiting for some dream to cut us loose
Somewhere under your skin
Someplace no one can break in
Somewhere I just can't get to
Something that is just for you
Somewhere dark inside my heart
Someplace no one put a light
Somewhere you could start a fire
The world such a funny place I laugh every day,
my body won't move and my mind won't stay, my mind won't
stay.
I'm floating out now, until my body's gone.
I'm so far away like Neil Armstrong, like Neil Armstrong,
Buzz, John, (?), Uri Gagarin.
There's time to be free, it's too short to be lonely.
Accost someone you like in a lift or a street,
let them burn right through you with their eyes
because they know you're spineless and that you would
flop under pressure.
And you used to have all these ideas about love and waste
and the end of the world and how to do things,
and to look at you now and feel good that I'm me has to
be the best feeling I've ever had,
the best feeling I've ever had, the best feeling I've
ever had.
I'm floating out now, 'til my body's gone
I'm so far away like Neil Armstrong.
Now I'm in the middle of a hole in the sky.
There's a house in your head
And the lights, they are on
They shine through your eyes
Through your mouth on your tongue
There's a house in my head
But the lights, they're not on
They went out, one by one
In your heart, in your lungs
It's not funny anymore
Place our heads side to side
Knock a hole through the wall
Push your tongue through my ears
And nail me, nail me to the floor
Leave me there inside the house
Flush the keys, slam the door
Then you scream through the keyhole
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
There's a car on the road
And it drives like a dream
See your lies in my eyes
As my tears stream
Tear the brakes from the floor
Drop your toes on the gas
I'll stand here like a wall
That you made from sugarglass
What is this beautiful thing that we've found?
Is it a sundial underground
Or just a building falling down?
I'm so happy i could scream,
But when you said i dream everything's fine.
What is this terrible thing that has gone away?
Is it a beautiful day
Or is it just ok?
You're so happy, so why am i so sad.
You prefer tomorrow to the times that we once had.
What is this wonderful thing we once had?
Is it baby singing dad,
Or driving each other mad?
What is this beautiful thing that we've found?
Is it a sundial in a tunnel
I've tried
And you've tried
You've cried
And I've cried
I've lied
And you've lied
Together we've died
But sometimes
Sometimes it gotta stop
I'm cold when you're cold
I'm warm when you're warm
We were friends
We're still friends
That's all
That's all
That's all
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
It's all good, it's not bad
It's all smiles, it's not sad
There's just time to stop love
Love's gone, move on
Life's long
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
Sha la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la
Love's so sweet it suffocates us
Like a sickly kindly gag
And we're floating down the sewer pipe
Like kittens in a bag
And the mirror screams to both of us
That we are not alone
Then the metaphors explode
And suddenly we're home
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
I can't love you
You're so loveable
But baby let me try
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
I can't love you
You're so loveable
Touch thumbs and it becomes, two bright suns in the
same sky.
Bad blood lighting the flood with red dye, spreading so
slowly over God's eyes.
And it never dries it keeps on going, never slowing,
'til it's showing in every multiplex across the country
(kiss your country).*
Bad blood's everywhere, it's in the flex of ten
fingers,
like the singers on the Larry Grayson show.
It'll run and run like red snow, until the world blows,
splitting LCD's into pop songs that put the atom back
where it came from.
Bad blood, what's wrong with the bridge from here to
Hong Kong,
with the bridge from here to Hong Kong,
with the bridge from here to Hong Kong?
Bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. Bad blood, bad blood,
bad blood.
Tom X steals a million wheels, to cut paddy fields into
big deals,
like boiled onions and jellied eels,
gets the country onto an even keel.
Bad blood like love is a good feel with an asbestos
glove run along the thigh containing bad blood.
Cries out for love because all you believe in is love.
Cries out for love because all you believe in is love.
Bad blood in a white dove flies way above the shovel
and spade.
I'm not afraid of bad blood.
Bad blood buried in the ground like a sound you'll
never hear again.
Bad blood in your ink pen writes the words 'not now but
when?'
Bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. Bad blood, bad blood,
