Little man running around town - nothing more to say
Doing everything the same as you - did it yesterday
Young man, there because of what you were told to do
Your Dad and his friends all knew what was right for you
Why do my frustrations get
Under my skin, this mood that I'm in
Why do all my fears
Get thrown back in my face, there stuck in this place
And we want to be free
But we just can't see
We're lost inside
And we've all gone blind
Little man, sitting in your room got a box of clay
Lay it out, shape your thoughts 'cos it is the only way
Young man, please make what you want if it makes you smile
I'm on parade, you don't say: why can't you see that
Keeping my feelings at bay: why can't you see that when
When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you
I'm just better off...
All of the years add up to: why can't you see that
Something has happened to you: why can't you see that when
When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you
You just get me down
It's not me, it can't be
I'd rather leave
It's getting hard, to be a part
Of what is around
Is this the situation of the time
If so you can have yours, I want mine
I know there's something better you could be
Now I am past caring, completely
I'm not going to wait for the beating of my heart
It takes too long for that broken pump to start
When you get off that plane will you still be mine
When we're both home again
And I'm not gonna cry cos there's never any use
I spent too long obsessing over self abuse
When you get off that plane will you still be mine
When we're both home again and we've run out of time
I've got my arm around but it don't feel the same
Cos I'm never gonna be on my own again
I've embraced a new beginning its you until the end
I'm in love, love, love
Love At last.
I know the doubts you have when the distance gets you down
It'd be easier if I wasn't still around
Know our time will come if we can get through all of this
Yesterday when I was brave I didn't fold I didn't cave gave freedom to every slave I'd ever harbored yesterday when I was strong I made a right of every wrong that had been around so long I'd just got used to where do you go who do you keep running from the world has only kept you down yesterday when I was brave I saw a future I could save nothing that stood in my way could ever stop me yesterday anything was a possibility because I believed and so it was that nothing broke me
Well I've been outside and it's not my scene
And I know you don't know what I mean
But I'm trying hard, cos I've never been
On the other side, of a day dream
La da di da da...
And I've been around, tried to be kind
But it gets me down, when I often find
People that I meet, in this state of mine
Hanging onto threads, falling behind
La da di da da...
Seems I've found,
Something to stick around my neck and be proud
Seems I know,
Somethings will never go with what you've got on show
Even so...
La da di da da...
Going through these old scrapbooks it's where the pasts been laid to rest innocence clashes with ambition puts it to the test now it's over and this is where we've arrived most others would just be happy that they'd survived cos they all want it they want it but they just dont get it now cutting through all the late night stoned up talk of being blessed sure life's got complicated but someday babies must be dressed now we've been there and this is where we've arrived most others would just be happy that they'd survived cos they all want it they want it but they just don't get it now get a grip of your true friends collect your conciousness then maybe if you want it you want it you just might get it
We were going along
To a particular song
Just hanging around
Feet scuffing the ground
Catching us on a roll
We were collecting the dole
Doesn't mean something's wrong
We were just slipping along
Slipping along
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
At a party we found
People hanging around
There was nothing to do
We were smoking a few
Saw two girls outside
They were both pretty wired
I thought something was wrong
But they were just getting it on
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on
Yeah
We were going along
To a particular song
Just hanging around
Feet scuffing the ground
Catching us on roll
We were collecting the dole
doesn't mean something's wrong
We were just slipping along
Slipping along
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on
Yeah
At a party we found
People hanging around
There was nothing to do
We were smoking a few
Saw two girls outside
They were both pretty wired
I thought something was wrong
But they were just getting it on
Getting along
Yeah
Slipping along
Yeah, Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
Been thinking of building a ship to the stars
Found plans made in fourth grade should get me that far
Jesus she says I know what you mean
I'll make you then take you my flying machine
I'm over exposure
I need to levitate
Above this experience
I need to find a way today for far away
There's a simple explanation
For the trouble that we're in
The shed light on all night
The work noise outside
The belief in relief found somewhere to hide
Jesus she says I know what you mean
Don't be scared just prepared
My flying machine
Meander
I've set the date take off's tonight
[spoken]
Ready?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Almin's late, he's late again
Well he probably won't show
It's just not fair
Almin's late, he's late again
Well he probably won't show
It's just not fair
Almin's late, he's late again
Well he probably won't show
It's just not fair
Almin's late, he's late again
Well he probably won't show
It's just not fair
There's no time, there's no time [ x 2 ]
There's no time, there's no time [ x 2 ]
I know I've said things I didn't mean to say
And I know I've done thing I didn't mean to do
I'm stupid, pathetic
Sometimes I say, things that I never mean to say
And sometimes I do things I don't wanna do
But we can leave that out
I'm waiting for the early sign
That signals everything is fine
I've rocked the boat enough I know
To make a scene and spoil the show
I get jealous, way too easy all the time
And over zealous, way to easy on time
Before I see things straight
Sometimes I say things I never mean to say
And sometimes I do somethings I don't wanna do
But we can leave that out
Now brains and emotions have never been friends.
If you ask my opinion it always depends.
Better hang onto what you've got.
Better hand onto what you've got.
Now love and confusion have always been true.
I hate to break the illusion but what can you do.
Better hang onto what you've got.
Better hand onto what you've got.
You had a girl you'd give anything for
one more chance.
But you threw it away!
You've got yourself to blame.
But you threw it away!
You've got yourself!...
Now I've never been one for giving advice
In a strange situation don't start throwing dice.
Better hang onto what you've got.
Better hang onto what you've got.
You had a girl you'd give anything for
one more chance.
But you threw it away!
You've got yourself to blame.
But you threw it away!
You've got yourself! Come on!
You had a girl that you'd give
anything for one more
You had a girl you'd give anything for
one more chance.
But you threw it away!
You've got yourself to blame.
But you threw it away!
You've got yourself!
You've got yourself to blame!
You've got yourself!
You've got yourself to blame!
You are everything everything you are you bleed like a saint to shine like a star I am everywhere you are when I can front row every show I'm your biggest fan when everything gets blown away bouncing off of walls my heart ricochets while soundwaves speed right through my veins my face hits the floor it's happening again pass this message on it's for you from me for nobody else just for you to see my lifes soundtrack is in your hands don't go anywhere don't make any plans
I'm telling you this is too good to be true when the most we have to do is open windows so just let your worries drown in a smile man lose that frown yeah we'll both still be around come the morning when summer ends she just want's to be friends her mind's mixed up got a year to go til next october to make sure the season's not over get me straight and get me sober again are you joking we got almost everything you don't pay that bird to sing out the daytime and the sun sets on the beach I could swear it's trying to reach with two golden hands as if to try and touch you
there will never be an ending
but there's always change so all the things that your defending
have been rearranged but it's so hard to talk to you
you're never there with my adjusted way of thinking
I shouldn't care
now I know that nothing lasts forever so long everything's going to be that much better
now I know that nothing lasts forever everything's going to be that much better
you're the one that should be saying sorry
all you ever did was make me want to talk to you
these are moments I can't get over
so how can you ever look over your shoulder
and find something new or are you playing best defence
with armour on you can only take the beatings
don't prove me wrong
now I know that nothing lasts forever
everything's going to be that much better
you're the one that should be saying sorry
all you ever did was make me want to talk to you
why won't you talk to me
and that's why
when we talk about the past
I could sit with you for hours
and that's why
I say that we'll never be the same
but I can't explain forever
nothing ever stays the same
feelings just get in the way
every hour of every day
when there's nothing more to say
you can watch your colours fade
but you can't sit still forever
no you can't sit still
It's all over and been
I'm not lesser within
won't change anything
so stop worrying
where you going what's your scene
saw your face in a magazine
hanging out with the kings and queens
hail the teenage royalty
you just keep lying to yourself
you're better than everyone else
keep saying it over again....
everybodies selling souls
where it's headed no one knows
screw education get on the dole
give it up for rock n roll
all this talk 'bout the better band
this is getting out of hand
what's it matter understand
you don't want to you don't want to
you just keep lying to yourself
you're better than everyone else
keep saying it over again....
and over again
oh N.D.C N.D.C N.D.C N.D.C
It was in the evening, or was it afternoon
It doesn't really matter, they were in my room
No there no here to save you
No there not
One by one
They tricked me one by one
They stripped me one by one
They fixed me one by one
Invaders picked me
I thought that I should go now but I just had to stay
Stick around and listen to what they had to say
No we're not going to hurt you
No we're not
Ohhhh, arrggghhh, oohhh
Invaders, Invaders, Invaders, Invaders........
Ooh, I like their eyes, like buggy flies
Their purple skies, where no one dies,
Their silken hair, and what they wear
Without a care for nothing
Say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah......
You don't wanna know
The truth will only hurt you
And I don't wanna go
Back down the road I hate to
I've been trying for so long
To deal with what I've done
You say you want a song?
Well here you go, have this one
I'm a boy with an endless lie
View the world through my bad black eyes
But its alright if its alright
Don't mean to be mean
OK go on just say us
Exactly what I've been
Your right, I don't know it
Its immaturity
And I can't wash my clean conscience
The truth is killing me
Could it make any difference
I'm a boy with an endless lie
View the world through my bad black eyes
But its alright if its alright
He wakes up cold in the morning another day on the run making sure his double life don't come undone his hands are full but there's nothing to show for every late night spent running from his shadow just get it right just get it right now your in further than you've ever been before little big lie further than you've ever been before just another little lie a nervous walk through the city he got to cover his tracks check for familiar faces better watch your back he got no rest now he's wicked just toss and turn every night going over his stories to get em right just get it right that's what I'm talk'n about fucker a great big dirty lie
Hey, I don't know what to say, I think of you each day
And in my loneliness, I don't know what is best
Maybe I might pretend, I'm going round the bend
And many a lot will heal, on the ferris wheel
Hey, I'm losing it again, a lack of oxygen
Thought police have busted in
And broken up and stolen almost everything
They've a job to do a special mission
To reinstate their point of view
It's in with the old order out with the new
They're the guys that wrote that song
That's been playing on the airwaves all day long
It's a catchy tune hummable melody
And you can't drive it from your brain
It's got a chorus that repeats over and over again
Window, opportunity
I got a message and it comes for free
There's another way that way is real
But you just won't get it till the walls fall down
One night to make it up one night to break it up one thing that takes me away one reason to make it ok I like the things of old like a night on sixties soul one night to make it up one reason is never enough there's a way to live and there's a way of dying one thing that I can't stand another jealous big hair band one thing that I hate most your hurting the ones close oh no don't like the way you look don't want to read your book spat in the hand I shook don't want your new hook there's a way to live and there's a way of dying out contradiction is my name when I fall down and I get up it both feels the same when you play their game it all feels the same the time for choosing's now what will you do
Think you had it much harder than the rest
Well this is no contest
No this is no contest
All the fighting that's stained inside my head
Will be there till I'm dead
Will be there till I'm dead
Sex slash death is in my head
Be there till I'm dead
I'll spit out what else I'm fed
Did you really want to scar our past
Did you really want to grow so old
Did you really want to make us hurt
Whatsoever I'll put it down to time
And take what's left that's mine
And take what's left that's mine
In the end I guess everyone's the same
And nobody's to blame
And nobody's to blame
Sex slash death is in my head
Be there until I'm dead
I'll spit out what else I'm fed
Did you really want to scar our past
Did you really want to grow so old
Come and take a drive out of the city packed some smoke and some wine in an esky got to get the hell out of the suburbs hit the open road where the air's pure and if the sun doesn't fall on your shoulder as we make our way south past the beach then I could die a million deaths of disappointment I promised you your best times would be times spent with me even in my car it shouldn't take long we'll find a nice looking pier to park our chairs on leave the trouble of distance behind us throw in fishing rods got for christmas we'll make good time taking it easy cos we can
Remember the curse we called sixteen and that summer was the hottest it had ever been we went walking just walking through those brown brick rows called the suburbs the only world that anyone there knows you almost lost your balance walking the fence one side was cold like ice the other hot like fire events spiralled just like some baltic ballet and given half the chance to do it over could you do it again remember the joy we called eighteen and that summer we were more drunk than we'd ever been and the night time always heralded something new and the only thing we needed was me and just me and you yeah I was singing your tune every afternoon I kept on singing your tune remember do you only you could love this I got a gut when I sit down it seems that you don't even care at all and those summer tunes can make you forget almost anything you want to
I don't wanna let you down
But I cannot have you hanging around
Hope you didn't fall for me
I am somebody that you could never see
Never been like this before
Tell me that there's something more
There never was a miracle in the snow
Should've let you know
Before I let you go
You know I didn't act my best
I always thought I was a cut above the rest
Cos when you've been hurt yourself
You, you [x 4]
And the day that we left
I found a whole in my chest
When you said we were only friends, hanging out
What was I sposed to do, I should swallow my pride
and say it's cool, but I'm a fool, I want you....
I guess I always knew I would
Like you too much for my good
It gets me when I tell you this but it's true
It's so true
And the night that we kissed
We were both pretty pissed
But I still knew how good it felt, but did you?
Now I'd do anything, to get you out from underneath my skin
Wishfull thinking, don't want to
You......
I know, what I've found
What I've found, I know
It's nice, it feels cool
It's how it should, simple
Lately I've felt so great
You're the best drug I take
My head has gone crazy
What have you done to me
Now I know, I know, I learn to breath
I learn to breath
I know, what I've got
What I've got, won't let go - ha!
And my thoughts, in my head
I'm stupid and simple
Now I know, I know, I learn to breath
I learn to breath
Well I learn to
Ready?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Almin's late, he's late again
Well he probably won't show, it's just not fair
Almin's late, he's late again
Well he probably won't show, it's just not fair
There's no time, there's no time
There's no time, there's no time
There's no time, there's no time
I'm sorry that I fucked things up
And I'm sorry that sorry is never enough
But still I'm sorry I screwed your plans
But if everythings cool then I know not we could do
Yeah lets walk down to the school
We can watch the kids run home
And pretend that we're alone
Just like we used to be then
But it's harder to go back right now
Cos you never really know how
And the things that you once knew then
Go and change and then change again
But it's harder to go back right now
Cos you never really know how
And the things that you once knew then
Go and change and then change again
I'm sorry that I wasted your time
And I'm sorry I wish you'd go waste mine
But that won't happen (won't happen) cos you're too nice
And the things that you do that I always thought were cool
Now I know it's only you so it's me that's been the fool
Smile when you want and tell me your happy
Laugh when you want to tell me your true
Smile when you want and tell me your happy
Laugh when you want and tell me your through
I'm not happy, I'm not happy, I'm not happy
Smile when you want and tell me your happy
Laugh when you want to share your brew
Smile when you want to make it all crappy
Laugh when you want to tell me I'm through
You know, you know
Tell me what's all about, tell me what's it all about
You know, you know
Tell me what's all about, tell me what's it all about
You know, you know
Tell me what's all about, tell me what's it all about
You know, you know
What's it all about?
Smile when you want to tell me your happy
Laugh when you want to tell me your through
Smile when you want to make it all sappy
Don't be too alarmed when you hear me raise my voice
I don't want to do it but you've left me with no choice
All around me situations that I can't escape
I'm helpless and I'm feeling that my actions come too late
You, you...
I guess sometimes that I fight for all the trouble that I'm in
But usually I'm certain that all my trash thrown in the bin
Going over speed limits will make you see the light
There's no consideration for the fact you're still alive
oh, you
It's a trap
Don't be too alarmed when you hear me raise my voice
I don't want to do it but you've left me with no choice
All around me situations that I can't escape
I'm helpless and I'm feeling that my actions come too late
You, you...
Don't be too alarmed when you hear me raise my voice
I don't want to do it but you've left me with no choice
All around me situations that I can't escape
I'm helpless and I'm feeling that my actions come too late
You, you...
It's cold in here, it's cold out there
Forget it man, cos I don't care
Don't need to know anyway
Thought about it yesterday
Yeah! Leave me alone. Yeah!
Bite me man cos I hate you
All the shitty things you do
You must have had a lot of nerve
Hope you get what you deserve
Yeah! Leave me alone. Yeah!
Beat me up again, cos you don't understand
Beat me up again, everyday
Beat me up again, cos you don't understand
Slow down, I can't understand a word
That you've said to me just then
Please repeat yourself again
I know, thinmgs have got a little rough
But there's worse things that could be
Could you ever say to me
Sometimes, you have gone too far (too far)
Paint me a picture of what I know
Slow down
Slow down, we forgot the time to spare
And there's nowhere you can hide
When you're lost for me inside
I've seen that you'll sadly have to make
It can only come to waste
Someone leaves and someone stays
Oh, ho, you don't go to far (too far)
Paint me a picture of what I know
This will take some explaining but I think you will agree
There is no use pretending that there's hope for you and me
And I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it's the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart....
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart
Yeah
I can handle the fighting, it's the affection I can't stand
And I don't mind us talking, just don't try and touch my hand
When you left I didn't want you back
But now your gone so won't you come right back
Come right back
Why does it hurt
Simple matters don't seem worth
So I thought the worst was over
When my heart stopped beating again
And the weak side of my body has come undone
Through trusting them
So we walked into the building
Took the lift to the third floor
Pain lies behind that door what am I to do now?
When what they tell me is just what they sell me
And I know to be realistic
Will save me from the shock to come
Any fool believes what you tell them
Happiness is being dumb
So we listened to the experts
Everyone needs some kind of guide to help them
See deep inside what am I to do now?
When what they tell me is just what they sell me
And it's not the truth but I'm not calming down
Till my feet touch the ground
So I thought the worst was over
When my heart stopped beating again
And the weak side of my body doubled up
I'm never trusting them
So don't listen to the experts
Cos I've seen they don't know anything
Well I've been outside and it's not my scene
And I know you don't know what I mean
But I'm trying hard, cos I've never been
On the other side, of a day dream
La da di da da...
And I've been around, tried to be kind
But it gets me down, when I often find
People that I meet, in this state of mine
Hanging onto threads, falling behind
La da di da da...
Seems I've found,
Something to stick around my neck and be proud
Seems I know,
Somethings will never go with what you've got on show
Even so...
There is no pain, my bodies drained
I never should of had that fourth slice straight
We gathered round, the lost and found
But my jerks of attention let me down
Well I took the first one,
And I pulled it back.
And what was once green
Had all turned black, had all turned black
And there was nothing left to say.
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted.
I'm getting there, my constant stare
And I don't think I'll move from this chair
We've got them both, Archers of loaf
And the Stone Roses in the stereo
Wasted, wasted
Wasted, wasted
I don't want to be straight, don't want to be straight
I walk along the avenue
i never thought I'd meet a girl like you
with Auburn hair and tormy eyes
the kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
a cloud appears above your head
a beam of light comes shining down on you
the cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
reached out a hand to touch your face
you're slowly dissappearing from my view
reached out hand to try again
i'm floating in a beam of light with you
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
and I ran I ran so far away
I just ran,
I was never good at what I do
I'm not the one whose hurting you
I was always pushing the pram
So you could kiss the crosswalk man
Didn't mean to hurt anone at all
Didn't want to do anything at all
All, all.....
Didn't mean to hurt anone at all
Didn't want to do anything at all
All, all..... to, all, all....
Just slip and fall and get away
Never listen to what I say
We are so different, you're so blind
Hey Bosco, what did you do
To make so many men hate you
You think you're right, they say you're wrong
They've been hassling you for way too long
Going out it made you a star
Going out but going too far
Going out expressing your point of view
Hey Bosco, what did you do
To make so many cops want you
They think they're right; you say they're wrong
They've been hassling you for way too long
(Point of view)
Well I don't want to fake it
And I know you're gonna make it
He's coming round tonight
Catching the train out
Started work today
It's no fun but it pays
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
S'posed to leave at eight
But the sitters late
Times run out to go
To that Even show
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
He was there for you
When your ex shot through
But can you really count
On him sticking round?
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
Can't change what happened my youths been shattered
Now can I really bring him down with me
He can't play father to your son
When he's eighteen years young!
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
Can't change what happened my youth's been shattered
Some things will stay the same
The shape of a power point won't change
And i won't back away and run
If you make me feel strange
She's the hand at the end of the arm
And she's got a lot to say
She thinks the world is falling apart
But that's okay she just wants to be happy
A place for everything and everything in its place
I get better, wait and see
She amazes me it's kinda hard to see in here
But there's nothing to see so who cares?
Drank coffee all night and now i can't sleep
I think i opened a secret file i let her look for a little while
And now i'm waiting for the ambulance to arrive
She just wants to be happy a place for everything
And everything in its place i had better wait and see
She amazes me
I couldn't understand the instructions
And the clock sounds like it's ticking slow
And this book is in another language
A language i don't know I used to tie double knots
But now i couldn't be fucked things are getting stupider all the time
She just wants to be happy
A place for everything and everything in its place
I had better wait and see she amazes me, you're confusing me
Make the most of opportunity, nothings free, nothings free
And don't believe everything that you see
It may not be quite what you believed
Oh I know everything that I do tonight
Means nothing if I don't succeed
My highlight desire while ecstasy
Filling me
Let intentions out so openly
It's not crazy, just chemistry
Oh I know everything that I do tonight
Means nothing if I don't succeed
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
It's my animal, animal.
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
It's my animal, animal
Animal Instinct
Make the most of opportunity, nothings free, nothings free
And don't believe everything that you see
It may not be quite what you believed
Oh I know everything that I do tonight
Means nothing if I don't succeed
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
It's my animal, animal.
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
I don't want to sit next to you
I don't want to sit next to you
Don't care what you say or what you want to do
I don't want to sit next to you
Best friend caught you lying
Ooooohhhh
It don't matter what you say
We're not going to go away
I don't want to fight with you
But you make it so easy to
So don't go against your will
If you want to like us still
I don't wanna go anymore
I don't wanna go anymore
Stop pushing me through the door
I don't wanna go anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
I don't wanna fight anymore
I don't wanna fight anymore
Picking myself off the floor
I don't wanna fight anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
I said I'd try but you don't believe me
You still don't know who I am, if only
I had the guts to tell you
If I had the guts to tell you
Believe you will
They'll take your honesty still
Honoured Chairman of the Board
Picking the scraps off the floor
Desperate for more
Its corporate law
When spirits fall
They'll own us all
Its all that we know
In everything that we say
Its everyday lives
Born to a loss of control
I dream daily, humans are commodities
One day you'll see the Run of the Company
When you don't realise until its on front of your eyes
When your inside of the plan
You and me tie ourselves on to the railway
Tugging on things that catch us up
Sitting off things that fly us down the freeway
Blowing our brew from plastic cups
Nothing to do, (when you're) in this situation
The pilots are drunk, we're all dead
Proving we're worth, the casual observation
Proving we're worth the food we're fed
And I'm hurking up the pieces
All the pieces that I've found
And I'm picking up the pieces
Off the ground, Yeah
You and me fall down onto the wrong side
Laughing at those that pushed us down
Climbing back up, we enjoy the free ride
In light of recent trends come gather round your friends
So much to talk about but words just won't come out
Oh no
The future is heel bent it won't stop when you say "when"
This atmosphere is staid just why are we so afraid?
Cos we're always impatient with the mess we created
And we're always frustrated or something
But you can sew your life back together
You can sew your life back
In light of recent trends come gather round your friends
Cos something's going wrong it hits just like a bomb
Cos we're always elated with the prize overstated
It's like we're always inflated or something
But you can sew your life back together
Can't everything be like before
When it overcomes me
Can't everything be like before
When it overcomes me
Can't see it, Can't feed it
Can't steal it, Can't keep it
Can't everything be like before
When it overcomes me
Can't everything be like before
When it overcomes me
Can't everything be like before
When it overcomes me
Can't freeze it, Can't need it
Can't keep it, Can't deal with it
Oh can you feel it
Something comin' closer to you're body
Oh can you see it
Someone's taken over from where you started
Oh can you see it
Something comin' closer to you're body
Oh can you see it
Someone's taken over from where you started
Oh can you see it
Can't everything be like before
When it overcomes me
Can't freeze it, Can't need it
Can't keep it, Can't deal with it
Can't everything be like before
You got your very own Watergate
There aint no easy way out
And if you wanna be social oh yeah
You better scream when you shout
I'll take you out where you wanna go
Yeah we can buy us some thrills
It's not the size of the night out oh no
It's the size of the pills
Come on
No sleep Sunday
We don't do it to get away
Only to Amplifier
And we don't wanna get fucked up on no
We just wanna get high
So come on, come on I got a feeling it won't take long
Get out, cut loose I got a feeling you know what to do
Come on
Those things you said are getting to me
I closed my eyes so I couldn't see
I'm used to all the crap that you dish out
I know exactly what its about
You didn't want to come across the sea
Dragged by your hair, it got worse, you got me
Now everything is cool up until when
Accidentally screw up your life again
Its not that I don't want you around
But you act as if we're bringing you down
Maybe you don't have the guts to go
Maybe you just don't want me to know
You didn't want to come across the sea
Dragged by your hair, it got worse, you got me
Now everything is cool up until when
Accidentally screw up your life again
"You can't blame us for everything
We're not stopping you from living
So pack your bags and take a chance
To leave, to leave, to leave to leave
And someday when you think of me
Remember that I was happy
Until the day I learned to see
Please leave, please leave, please leave, please leave
And someday when you think of me
Remember that I was happy
Until the day I learned to see
Your eyes are just like mine
I wonder what you're thinking about
I can't figure it out
You climb right up my spine
Just so you can get a better look at what's on my mind
I've got opinions that I can't afford to say
And my words don't really matter anyway
You've been gone for so long do your friends know what's wrong?
Why don't you run away?
Your lies are just like mine
I wonder what you're trying to hide
Tell me what's up inside
Or I'll climb right up your spine just so I can get a better look at what's
On your mind
I'd live on your street but I can't afford the rent
And my memories shot I can't think where it went
You've been gone for so long do your friends know what's wrong?
Why don't you run away?
Now the whites of your eyes give away your disguise
Why don't you run away?
All your friends that you just gotta vist more
The further you're kept away the less it makes you wanna stay
You oughtta know
Three, Four!
Well, I don't expect to see you all the time,
Yeah every second day would still be fine,
Cos I love all of the funny things that you do,
I Couldn't think of anything that would be better,
then being here with you,
You, you, I love the funny things you do,
You, you, I'm gonna be here through and through,
You, you, sometimes I wouldn't have a clue,
You, you, well would I be here without you,
Without you.
We can sit around the house and watch TV,
And all the crazy stories you can tell me,
Well I probably won't be hearing nothing new,
But I wouldn't want to listen to anyone else,
to anyone else yeah but you,
Without you
Break it down
Lalalalala
Verse 1:
Every days a drama
Did you think that i don't know that?
Is it any wonder
I don't wanna talk about it?
Pre-Chorus:
security ???

anything to keep you mine
Verse 2:
And it makes us all laugh
did you think i find it funny
how much is enough?
did you think that this is easy

anything to keep you mine
Chorus:
Everyday i step outside
it brings me to my knees
this is no work in progress
Verse 3:
Every days a drama

I gotta go gotta get away just for the weekend
I've gotta go cos I just can't stay just for the weekend
And when I go leave the shit behind just for the weekend
And may be then something good I'll find just for the weekend
You've gone and run in the wrong direction
Now you're so fallin in love, you're so falling alone
I don't care this is not my problem
There's not a lot that I'll have to take just for the weekend
There's not a smile that I'll have to fake just for the weekend
And when I go leave the shit behind just for the weekend
And maybe then find some peice of mind just for the weekend
You've gone and run in the wrong direction
Now you're so fallin in love, you're so falling alone
I don't care this is not the real thing
What's forever when I leave
Wipe myself with my soggy sleave
Well I don't want to make things bad
But these last few weeks are the worst I've had
And that's really sad, it's really sad, you know - woah!
Because I knew what we were gonna say
And I didn't want it to end that way
Like on a winters day, but that's okay
Because I've got my tracksuit ready on
Don't give me your friends
Yeah they're driving me round the bend
I just wanted some time alone
So we could sort this thing out, lifes a rolling stone
So I'll take you for an elephant ride
And I'll show you things that I feel inside
Yeah that's what I'll do, cos I like you
And I don't wanna let things slide
Aaaaahhhhhhh.......
So I hope everything's alright
Because I know I won't see you tonight
I just turn out the light and fall asleep
Without a peep
And when I wake up with my tracksuit on
Well then I'll know that you've been away too long
So I'll play a song, I'll play a song
And I'll dedicate it just for you
Can we still be friends
Yeah that's all that we've got in the end
But I've been secretly holding out
That some day you will say you want more than that
So I'll take you for an elephant ride
And I'll show you things that I feel inside
Yeah that's what I'll do, cos I like you
The seven signs of ageing's gonna strike when you're alone
The seven signs of ageing's gonna shake you to your bones
I hadn't noticed that the lights had changed
I only noticed you were gone a long, long lonely time ago and it really
Shook me up
What on Earth had I done?
The seven signs of ageing's gonna strike when you're alone
The seven signs of ageing's gonna shake you to your bones
When you've got the sun in your eyes don't let them see you cry
Some people walk along this avenue with hands in pockets and eyes to ground
Just lost, lost in this city slowly growing old
At least that's what I've found
Guess I lose again
Entire plan
You listen to yourself
Guess I'm scared to trust
But I must
Or I'll have nothing left
Something's wrong with me
There must be
Coz nothing's going right
Always wait for them
And only then
Do I go further by
Ohhohhohh
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you around
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you around
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you loose
Here I am again
Staying friends
So I can still hang around
Hoping for the best
Call it youthful zest
And someday I'll get down
Ohhohhohh
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you around
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you around
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you loose
Ohhohh
Waking up
Is not the same
Going out
Is not the same
Pain removal
Is not the same
It's not the same
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you around
I saw it coming
And I tried to turn you around
I saw it coming
You're television lies to you
So stoke the hype machine and let the show begin.
They've got the life that dreams are made of.
Throw in you're hand this is a game you'll never win.
Oh yeah! Call that something? I call it nothing!
You're television lies to you,
Feeding you're fantasies of how you wanna live.
Reality's got less attraction.
To have it all there's nothing that you wouldn't give.
Cos the pretty boys and pretty girls never lose and have more fun.
Call that something? I call it nothing!
So forget the free advice m'man 'cos the damage has been done.
Call that something? I call it nothing, no!
You're television lies to you
So stoke the hype machine and let the show begin.
They've got the life that dreams are made of.
Throw in you're hand this is a game you'll never win.
Verse 1:
I'll be a man for you, just tell me what to do
To satisfy your mind, and not step outta line
I wanna buy you flowers, I've looked at you for hours
I'll tell you how I feel, still I'm lonely
Chorus:
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
Verse 2:
I'll be a man for you, just tell me what to do
When I want to kill, or go against your will
We can share a place, I'll still give you your space
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
a-a-a, so what am I supposed to say
I've been doing the strangest dreaming
I left not knowing where I was going
And you're so misty and I'm so twisted by the way I feel
I'm spinning like a wheel
My love is so surreal
Walked for ages through different stages
Of all my failures and past disclaimers
And in this city being lost aint pretty like it used to be
Now when my mind is free
Things get on top of me
Oh, I'm more alone when I'm with you
There, you got me
There's no hiding the future's riding
On coming clean with the past I'm fighting
Cos when you're with me I'm forced to see me as I really am
I'm not s'posed to be thinking of you
Atleast not this way but now it's too late
And you're so misty and I'm so messed up in this reverie
I'm never gonna be all that I hoped I'd be
Oh, I'm more alone when I'm with you
There, you got me
I'm done with holding out for the sky
Oppurtunity passes me by
Cos it's true you don't think of me
The way I think of you
Come on admit it it's true
I'm really gonna pack in this new job I do
It's gonna be the death of me
I went to a party of some girl that I knew
At least the alcohol was free
With all the family around
We couldn't find a common ground
And so we left with what we found
When we first came so
Where you been, where you been, where'd you go
Leaving me alone and feeling low
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I know that I don't earn one hundred points in bed
But will you love me anyway
It's just that there's so much going on in my head
That I don't know what to say
Your car rolled away out of sight
You can not leave without a fight
Okay you lose so we were right
Don't take my love away
It's the only thing I've got.
Take this throat instead,
Coz it isn't worth a lot.
And I'll write it in the sand,
Just so you understand
That the ground that I walk on
Won't be here when you're gone,
And I'll fall into a hole
Failing without you, No matter what you do.
(Repeat)
Minutes to Midnight
The stars are out, the feeling's right.
Minutes to happiness
To you, my truth I must confess.
(Repeat)
Don't take my love away
It's the only thing I've got.
Take this throat instead,
Coz it isn't worth a lot.
And I'll write it in the sand,
Just so you understand
That the ground that I walk on
Won't be here when you're gone,
And I'll fall into a hole
Verse 1:
Heavy perfume
I know she's entered the room
A smile painted on her face
Winner of the impossible race
Chorus:
She wants to be happy
Iturn around and say
it's dead easy x 2
Idid it yesterday
And I'm fine now, just fine
Well it sure don't look that way
No it sure don't look that way
Verse 2:
Doubts in her mind
The mirror's never been kind
Ever since she was in school
Now she thinks she knows what to do
She wants to be happy
Iturn around and say
it's dead easy x 2
Idid it yesterday
And I'm fine now, just fine
Well it sure don't look that way
No it sure don't look that way
Verse 3:
Yeah tricks of the trade
My minds already been made
She's never going to be
The person she wants to be
She wants to be happy
Iturn around and say
it's dead easy x 2
Idid it yesterday
And I'm fine now, just fine
Well it sure don't look that way
I'm a grave digger
I'm a theif stealing your bones
(And all you say is forever, all you want is to stay together)
Your an old liar
History revisionist
(And all you say is forever, all you want is to stay together)
You're trying to be cool but you're falling asleep at the wheel
And how do you think when your heart is the last place you feel?
And every every every every time
You're saying "Everything everything everything everything's fine".
And I don't know why
But this loaded gun is just what I've been waiting for
And I don't know why
But this loaded gun is just what I've been waiting for
I'm a wanderer
I'm a dreamer, dreaming away
(And all you say is forever, all you want is to stay together)
You're a long distance
Memory I rescusitate
(And all you say is forever, all you want is to stay together)
You're trying to be cool but you're falling asleep at the wheel
And how do you think when your heart is the last place you feel?
And every every every every time
You're saying "Everything everything everything everything's fine".
And I don't know why
But this loaded gun is just what I've been waiting for
There is the mat
Wipe where it's at
You can come in
So can the cat
I can see me
Under my feet
Under a fan
Spreading the heat
If everyone's ready and waiting for you, Yeah
Then come along Friday what is there to do?
We like to clean, our hands with preen
To keep all the germs away from the scene
That's our motto, that's what we say
That is the truth, that's how it'll stay
If everyone's ready and waiting for you, Yeah
Then come along Friday what is there to do?
Scrub and make clean the lino, lino
In case of visitors
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean, it's hard to clean
There is the mat
Wipe where it's at
You can come in
So can the cat
I can see me
Under my feet
Under a fan
Spreading the heat
If everyone's ready and waiting for you, Yeah
Then come along Friday what is there to do?
Scrub and make clean the lino, lino
In case of visitors, visitors
Like what you get when you've just started retarded
Think of what you want and who you are
M, m, m, My life, when I think is so circumstancial
You take what you're given it's never substancial
But that doesn't matter, when I am around her
I think of something more, but what will I use it for
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean, hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
Were you laughed at by your friends
And were you lost for words when everybody finally told you what they thought
You can't keep up with the trend
It makes you lose but somehow everybody always makes up in the end
Oh, was it something that I ate
Oh, didn't even touch my plate
Oh, suddenly I'm feeling great
Do you like me now
Leaving home, life was never good to me
Leaving home, I smell the morning air
Leaving home, life was never good
You can work it out we're leaving home
I could hear them through the door
As people came in laughing at the way they acted when they were alone
And an argument can start with nothing more than this
To be the light and leave you standing on your own
Oh, am I doing it again
Oh, I'm a loser now and then
Oh, and I smile at everything
Do you like me now
Hope I like the life I find when I leave everything behind
She starts out motherly taking you out for tea.
You get you're drinks for free hey presto happy families!
Sometimes when she's not right she pulls her purse strings tight.
And then we get into a fight, we're losing her again oh!
The world is all she wants, never before has she needed us more.
Things used to be different when we were happy friends.
Even the times it was pretend, still happy in the end.
When did it all go wrong? Was it wrong all along?
When did we stop turning you on?
We're losing her again, oh!
Falling out again
Just when everything was working out
And it's all because of me
Cos I like the way it feels to live in doubt
It's high time I start to learn
To live my life with a poker face and then
All these emotional feelings I can't ignore
Aren't on display to the whole world anymore
Am I Happier Sad?
It's all over and done
And I'm warm inside my melancholy mind
Kinda feels secure
Consider all you've got to lose
Consider life and what you choose
Consider everything cos you might not get it back
I've got an itch under my skin
I'm walking balancing on pins
With nowhere safe to fall and the walls are closing in
I got a truth that noone knows and my desperation grows
There must be something that I missed tell me that there's more than this
I got a womb to call my own
I got a room to crawl in alone
And when I make it out I'm gonna do it on my own
And all these lights on in my head
Are put out in my sleep instead
Dreams of black and white are waking up to life in red
I've got a truth that no one knows and my desperation grows
There must be something that I missed tell me that there's more than this
I was strolling down your road
When I saw you now I know
It's clear, it's all your fault dear
And the price I had to pay
Shit that I took everyday
I lived was all that you could give
And I know that you're to blame
I've been fighting it so long
But I know that I'm not wrong
With this, I'm totally pissed
So I'll take it out on you
And all your girlfriends too
Cause they hate me but they're too blind to see
And I know that you're to blame
Sssah....
And I know that you're to blame
Yeah!
Benedict sits in his room, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
Green men are coming soon, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He waits for them in the dark, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He stands alone in the ball park, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
They didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you
They didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you

Benedict's losing his head, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He keeps it under the bed, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
His mine will let him know, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
When it is time to go home, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
Oh, We're suddenly much better than you
