Lately, I
Have been speculating
As to how and why
These circles race whatever I do
Your blonde hair
Breaks this ten thousand yard stare
Clearly, I
Am still withdrawing it's true
(ahh ahh ahh)
Somethings not right here
The paint watches me as I dry here
The pain watches me as I waltz through
This black hole
And I don't feel violent
In fact I feel some way enlightened
The best parts of us
Always seem to have the most downfalls
There's a cigarette in my mouth
A nicotine patch is on the floor
When did we get addicted to the cure?
Ahh ah ahh
Ahh ahh
I am addicted to the cure!
Sometimes, I
Get aggravated
With my concept of time
And how the clocks tick backwards on cue
Your blonde hair
Breaks this wristwatch and it's cares
Clearly I
Am still withdrawing from you
(ahh ahh ahh)
Somethings not right here
The paint watches me as I dry here
The pain watches me as I waltz through
This black hole
And I don't feel violent
In fact I feel some way enlightened
The best parts of us
Always seem to have the most downfalls
There's a cigarette in my mouth
And nicotine patches on the floor
When did we get addicted?
When did we get addicted?
But our heads tell us to stop
As our chests scream out for more
I'm proud to be addicted
I'm proud to be addicted to the cure
I am addicted to the cure
I am addicted to the cure

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
not a creature was stirring
except for
a Wombat?
I can hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
here comes the darkest end Christmas is here
It's about nights extend into the overdraft
To scrape out what is left at the end of the year
(It's Christmas)
Turn back to the future off I've seen it before
maybe every year and more it's great but not again
What's that burning! what's that burning, my mum shrieks down
While she's touching up her brow for when the family arrive
And the red wine plummets down and we should all be in our beds
but it's right wing versus left til the wings fall off out heads
And is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas, my dear?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
whatever happened to that festive cheer?
Can you hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
here comes our darkest end
Christmas is here
And the ice burns up the hill until we all lose our feet
Though it never really snows it's more like horizontal sleet
And is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas, my dear?
Is this Christmas? (oh no it's Christmas)
Is this Christmas? (oh no it's Christmas)
whatever happened (oh no it's Christmas) to that festive cheer?
Don't you just love Christmas (oh no it's Christmas) (5x)
Everybody loves Christmas (oh no it's Christmas)
Everybody loves Christmas (oh no it's Christmas)
Everybody loves, everybody loves

I've met someone that makes me feel seasick
Oh what a skill to have
Oh what a skill to have
So many skills that make her distinctive
But they're not mine to have
No they're not mine
Whenever she looks i read the nearest paper
No i don't care about the soaps
No i don't care about the soaps
Though i'm acting like i'm in an Eastenders episode
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please
Carrots help us see much better in the dark
Don't talk to girls; they'll break your heart
And this is my head and this is my spout
They work together; they can't figure anything out
So with the angst of a teenage band
Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand
Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please

I'm Mr. Jealous Man today,
Close cousin of Mr. Runaway,
Don't wanna feel sorry for myself now,
But Lorraine Kelly at noons not really helping me out.
I smashed the window with a cuddly toy,
Not with a strong arm but with the weakness of a
frustrated boy.
Lets not get lost in ourselves today,
But these microwave meals are really paving the way.
Shes just my die-hard movie in slow motion
Shes just my die-hard movie in slow motion
Shes just my die-hard movie in slow motion
I could never be the good guy

Well i think you're crazy
The way you turn
When all our friends are there
Yeah and i think you're rude dear
coz you know when we fight
I toss and turn at night
We dont mean that much
'coz you dont smile at me that much
Yeah and we dont mean that much
But i dont need much to make me happy.
We'd be 70 love
Have a house on the seaside
I'll wear my open toe sandals day and night
Drinking earl gray but
Waiting for orders from above
Well hey babe this is love
Yeah we dont mean that much
'coz you dont smile at me that much
Yeah we dont mean that much
But i dont need much to make me happy.
Yeah we dont mean that much
'coz you dont smile at me that much
And we dont mean that much

it feels like hydration
it's just the thing found in my youth
because last tuesday
i got a spot of a spot of bad news
a spot of bad news
the next day
sped up the slow lane to blackpool
when we got there
there was always an empty space on the same ride as you
empty seat next to you
it's just there's not much you can do
if you've got the theme park blues
the theme park blues
i can see teenage mothers
feedin their childern fags and candy
what a patriotic feeling
surges up inside for my land of hope and glory
my land of hope and glory
and i wish i could swing round those bends with you
but i've got the theme park blues
theme park blues
it's just that everything is upside down
though you're the one cork screwing round
and rollercoasters aren't held up by screws
the seagull smiles the sun shines down
though i'm the one who has the frown
there's not much you can do for the theme park blues
the theme park blues
theme park blues
no there's not much you can do
no theres not much you can do
no theres not much you can do
if you've got the theme park blues
the theme park blues
the theme park blues
oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo

Remember when I found a broken branch
And shoved it through your bicycle spokes
And how remorse quickly took it's stance
When you hit the deck and broke your nose
You were always the emo type
Straightened hair matched to a bitter tone
Well I don't care much for fashion or socialites
The nihilists always get my vote
All she ever wanted was a little direction
All she ever needed was a friend
All she ever made were the worst impressions
All she ever did was offend
You're the only one to ? my sex drive
Will you or won't you?
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
Remember when you laid me on my back
And performed to me my favourite song
And how i shivered up on it's climax
And those lips still plague my thoughts ten years on
You were always the emo type
Straightened hair matched to a bitter tone
Well i dont care much for fashion or socialites
The nihilists always get my vote
All she ever wanted was a little direction
All she ever needed was a friend
All she ever made were the worst impressions
All she ever did was offend
You're the only one to ? my sex drive
Will you or won't you?
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
All she ever wanted was a little direction
Far away from this broken sea
And all I ever needed was some domination
From a girl with low self esteem
I think we share the same blood type
Will you or won't you?

Once upon a time in a taxi cab
A dirty man touched you with a filthy hand
A foul attempt at comfort turned to bad
But probably the best sex that you ever had
The worst battle is the one not fought
But it's a damned sight easier to settle out of court
When your moral fibre offers no support
Or when you've got the staying power of a just fired
pinball
I'm trampolining, I'm trampolining off of you
We draw a thin line, we draw a thin line
I'm trampolining, I'm trampolining off of you
We draw a thin line, between who we love and who we
love to use
So let's just hope there's no mirrors in the toilets
tonight
So we don't have to see what's really going on in our
eyes
A wholesome society of civic pride
Is more a massive confusion trying to prove that it's
still alive
Keep that princess sitting by the phone
That ugly frog is gonna call and he can bring it all
home
He's heard the new song about the latest trend
It's now cool to read fairy tales as long as you rip
out the end
I'm trampolining, I'm trampolining off of you
We draw a thin line, we draw a thin line
I'm trampolining, I'm trampolining off of you
We draw a thin line, between who we love and who we
love to use
We draw a thin line, we draw a thin line
We draw a thin line, we draw a thin line
I'm trampolining, I'm trampolining off of you
We draw a thin line, we draw a thin line
I'm trampolining, I'm trampolining off of you
We draw a thin line, between who we love and who we

Grandpa George said the heroes are the ones that run away
But I wear no medals I stormed the toilet on my birthday
Welcome to my circuitboard city of yellow and black
We swallow WD40 so our hearts don't crack
I must admit I need a speedbump
To slow down the high brain
Have a dance
Have a drink
Suppress it back ruin everything
Have a dance
Have a drink
Suppress it back ruin everything tonight
Lets ruin everything tonight
Ive got a note
Ive got a note, from my doctor
So please release me from your average melodrama
Ill throw a spanner in the works
I want more chaos to disorder
Ill throw a spanner in the works
I want more chaos to disorder
Have a dance
Have a drink
Suppress it back, ruin everything
Have a dance
Have a drink
Suppress it back, ruin everything
Have a dance
Have a drink
Suppress it back, ruin everything
Have a dance
Have a drink
Suppress it back, ruin everything tonight

Can't wait to wallow in self pity
In my circuit board city tonight
I can't wait to wallow in self pity
In my circuit board city tonight
I can't wait to wallow in self pity
In my circuit board city tonight
I can't wait to wallow in self pity

Sometimes I like to go uptown
where flashy people flash around
It's extortion and I don't care
you can taste the desense in the air
And I, I wonder where you were tonight
The shiny black dress with the sleeve to the side
Is it a fantasy that I should think
Someone like you could love a creep like me!
Your body is a weapon LOVE
and it makes me WANNA CRY
My body is a temple of do,
Do not to be by YOUR side
I like my job when I do it well
It's three men's work and it pays like hell,
But I can get us a place with one bedroom
Who needs a friend, when I've got you!
Your body is a weapon LOVE
and it makes me WANNA CRY
My body is a temple of do,
Do not to be by YOUR side
I do not come here for the exclusivity,
I just come here for the view!
I'm the masculine chance of some
Close proximity of an outcome conversation with you
You are a bit cold?
YOUR BODY IS A WEAPON LOVE
AND IT RIPS ME UP INSIDE
MY BODY IS A TEMPLE OF DO,
DO NOT TO BE, DO NOT TO BE BY YOUR SIDE!
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?
Someone would take me from the one I love?

I should have known you didn't have the time my dear
To let this twenty something bring you down with his list of fears
I'd like to think we had some good times though
It's just my inability to think outside the box I know!
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post,
Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go
(Go to Santa Go!)
I could see your interest wane my dear
She wanted Mary Poppins and I took her to King Lear
Yes we've had some spills shall I say
And I thought you were going to leave, but not that you'd evaporate
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post,
Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go
(Go to Santa Go!)
Please go to Santa go to Santa go go go.......
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post,
Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go

I think the postman intercepts
Everything I try and send to you
'Cos he's infatuated and he's the fulcrum between us too
And I can't say I blame him 'cause I cheated priest just to get to you
She works in a dental practice
9 till 5 how does she manage?
Considering her nights don't pass out 'till 3
So, I guess that flossing is he last thing in her health routine
And I don't mind that she gets hammered
And goes home with other guys
There's no jealousy
'Cos she's my little pipedream fantasy
I saw her slam back tequila's
Like Oliver Reed on an Irish stag do
And I'll wait if you stay
'Cause foggy London town's not built for me or you
Don't leave miss pipedream 'cos I love you
And I don't mind that she gets hammered
And goes home with other guys, there's no jealousy
Though she grind out with friends but not with me

I've just had a craziest week
Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud
It's therapeutic somehow
So, I'm moving to New York
'Cos I've got problems with my sleep
And we're not the same
And I will wear that on my sleeve
So, I'm moving to New York
'Cos I've got issues with my sleep
Looks like Christmas came early
Christmas came early for me
I put one foot forward and ended up 30 yards back
And am I loosing touch or am I just completely off the track?
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud
It's therapeutic somehow
So, I'm moving to New York
'Cos I've got problems with my sleep
And we're not the same
And I will wear that on my sleeve
So, I'm moving to New York
'Cos I've got issues with my sleep
Looks like Christmas came early
Christmas came early for me
So, I'm moving to New York
'Cos I've got problems with my sleep
And we're not the same
And I will wear that on my sleeve
So, I'm moving to New York
'Cos I've got issues with my sleep
Looks like Christmas came early

Oooh ooh ooh, ba ba oooh ooh ooh
Don't you think kind of cruel?
My two door rocking rover bean-can is the only thing that reminds me of you
I'm sorry I missed your show last night
It's just my car broke down and mirrored both our lives
Oooh ooh ooh, ba ba oooh ooh ooh
I think I miss my metro, oh
I think I miss my metro, or maybe I just miss you
Don't you think its kind of cool?
My tape-player was bust but it always played for you
Then you slapped me from the passenger seat
I think my car got really pissed off so it failed its M.O.T!
Oooh ooh ooh, ba ba oooh ooh ooh
I think I miss my metro, oh
I think I miss my metro, or maybe I just miss you
He's just my little blue bomb on the A11....
I think I miss my metro, oh

I'm a good friend and an excellent lover
I can fool myself just like no other person can
I'm turning into a twisted man
I haven't got any time for selfless deeds
What I do for you is indirectly for me, I'm a stubborn boy
There's nothing here that you can break or destroy
Then as I count sheep in my bed
A train of worry pulls us through my head
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Through all my talk of self-defeat
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
Last night I dreamt I died alone
From now on I'll curb the cynical speaking
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Someone once said I don't have any feelings
Well, I think that emotions can be misleading and thinking back
I might have nailed the coffin shut with that
As I tend to cry in a room full of laughter
Is the cheese finally sliding off of it's cracker?
I don't know, I'll just prepare myself to let it go
As I count sheep in my bed
A train of worry pulls through my head
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Through all my talk of self-defeat
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
Last night I dreamt I died alone
From now on I'll curb the cynical speaking
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Last night I dreamt I died alone
And apart from when I lost my virginity

This is my first wedding and I hope it is my last
Things would be fantastic if me and the bride didn't have a past
So I stand by the buffet and submerse myself in brie
I'm tactically positioned
Yeah because the bar is near and the champagne's for free
Oooh oooh ooh ooh
This is my first wedding and I hope it passes quick,
If I’ve got no feelings for her then why is my stomach feeling so sick?
As they dance to their soppy song I pray it isn't love
Because she's my heartless bitch that I just can't seem to get enough of
Oooh oooh ooh ooh
She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!
She'll steal your mind first then your car
she’s not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!
Blame it on an evil twist of fate, that she created from the start
Just one more single malt then it’s off to bed for me
My head is spinning round and my legs are break-dancing (HE'S PISSED!)
I only meant to say farewell but I spilt more than my drink
I can't remember exactly what I said
but I remember being chased up the street!
Oooh oooh ooh ooh
She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!
She'll steal your mind first then your car
She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!
Blame it on an evil twist of fate, that she created from the start

She works downtown in an unmarked bar,
Flyin' round poles she always gave me the fright of my life
I didn't mean to get involved it was the alcohol
Mixed with and empty feeling inside
Its such a bad idea to fall in love with a 'lady of the night'
Why didn't God give her two left feet
Then she couldn't run away from me!
Months go by and I'm alone in bed
While she's greasing up for when the businessmen and lawyers arrive
I've got to wear a beard a suit and tie
To get past the door if I want to see my girl tonight
I go to all this effort just to see my fair Patricia going home with some other guy
Why didn't God give her two left feet
Then she couldn't run away from me!
Why didn't God give her two left feet
then she couldn't run away from me!
She thinks I'm sad and that's alright
But she doesn't hate me so there's my little alibi
I can't, I can't leave, I can't I can't I can't
She's my coked-up botox girl
Patricia, Patricia
Oh Patricia the Stripper you are my sunshine
Oh Patricia the stripper come on home tonight
Oh Patricia the Stripper you are my sunshine

Am I in a scene from 'Midsummer Nights Dream'?
I thought raves like these died in the 90s?
The forest is breathing along with us tonight
Upper Class thugs take middle-class drugs
And we all get lowered in size
This is not my scene, I should not be here tonight
Laura, ooh oh oooh oooh oh
Laura, get me home tonight
Trance music bangs a comical dance of cardboard boxes and fish
We're the fairies from hell and we're all on a death wish
This is not my scene, this is killing me
I don't want to be here tonight
And the girl who can save me is well across the Pennines
Laura, ooh oh oooh oooh oh
Laura, get me home tonight
Laura, ooh oh oooh oooh oh

Verse 1:
I'm a good friend and an excellent lover
I can fool myself just like no other, person can
I'm turning in to a twisted man
I haven't got time for any selfless deeds
What I do for you, isn't directly for me
I'm a stubborn boy
There's nothing here that you can break or destroy
Then as I count sheep in my bed
A train of worry bullets through my head
Chorus 1:
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Through all my talk of self defeat
The peerful bomb ticks underneath
Last night I dreamt I died alone
From now on I'll cut the cynical speaking
Seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Verse 2:
Someone once said I don't have any feelings
But I think that emotions can be misleading
And thinking back
I might have nailed the coffin shut with that
As I tend to cry in a room full of laughter
Is the cheese finally, sliding off of it's cracker
I don't know, I'll just prepare myself to let it go
Then as I count sheep in my head
A train of worry bullets through my head
(A woo hoo)
Chorus 2:
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Through all my talk of self defeat
The peerful bomb ticks underneath
Last night I dreamt I died alone
From now on I'll cut the cynical speaking
Seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Outro:
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Apart from when I lost my virginity

I've met someone that makes me feel seasick
Oh what a skill to have
Oh what a skill to have
So many skills that make her distinctive
But they're not mine to have
No they're not mine

No i don't care about the soaps
No i don't care about the soaps

I met you four months last Sunday,
My oh my what a happy, clappy fun day.
We started off as jobs in catering,
Had no idea of the pain this cheap pay could bring.
Now that your tickle has become a scratch,
This ghost train will derail and crash.
Like Blackpool's Pepsi Max,
We will derail and crash, derail and crash.
You moved my wardrobe out the front door,
A slight indication of what I've come home, what I'm in for.
You were watching Tarantino loud on widescreen,
I catch your eye and the barrel points at me.
Looks like your tickle has become a scratch,
This ghost train will derail and crash.
Like Blackpool's Pepsi Max,
We will derail and crash, derail and crash.

Are you gonna screw my head up,
as much as I've been told?
Yeah, ok, your pretty weird but
your not the psycho I've been sold.
Thanks for the wonderful evening
but I've got to pay this back
With interest on the miles
and the distance you sent me
you sent me down the track
(down the track)
You sent me down the track till I'm
so Happily Screwed, Screwed
And I've never got so many texts
as I did from you that night
And why do we set up for a year of
movies and one big fight?
Come on, can we go there anyway? This is such a big waste of time
If you just grab those bags and hold my hand
We'll run...
Straight through the one way sign
One way sign
Straight through the one way sign
You and I could be so happily screwed.
So happily screwed,

I'm a robot like you
A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
I'm a robot like you
Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws
I'm an artificial man with some artificial plans
That I dress to the nines for you
I've got a tin box of plastic bags that I shove down my rucksack
So it bulges like I've got something of importance to do
Perhaps I have
But this programme only ever lets me follow suit
I've got some artificial friends engrossed in artificial trends
They wear their hair quiffed up like it's leaving their heads mid-flight
There's a procedure to self-implode
but too many glitches run through half the codes
So I turn the lights down and pleasure myself to pass time
I know it's sad
But in this programme it's really quite a highlight
I'm a robot like you
A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
I'm a robot like you
Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws
I'm an artificial man with some artificial plans
That I dress to the nines for you
I work for a local think tank, I do no research and I avoid the tax
Still I feel I need a drastic change of route
I know I can
But this damn programme only ever lets me follow suit
I'm a robot like you
A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
I'm a robot like you
Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws
I'm a robot like you

My teeth have never looked quite this yellow
And my body never quite this fat
I'd pay well over the odds
Just to have some teenage abandon back
I hit the ice on the 5th of Jan and I swear it was an act of fate
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
I just take my bubbles to the center of town and...
Schumacher the champagne
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate
Schumacher the champagne
You might as well be proud of last place
We used to set ourselves on fire
When chemistry was twice a week
And now I pay for it over a counter
Whilst they become fitness freaks
My bad habits are taking over all the good left inside
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
I just take my bubbles to the center of town and...
Schumacher the champagne
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate
Schumacher the champagne
You might as well be proud of last place
Schumacher the champagne
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am

It's 8 o' clock and I'm feeling fine
I'm out on a date tonight
In a candle lit restaurant down by the riverside
Everything’s going alright I guess
She took down my number and home address
Everything was going perfectly until...
It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco, I did something I'll never forget
It was a chat-up line built not to impress
More a sleazy remark on her whorish dress
My wires crossed like they've never done before
Well it's 3 o' clock and I'm feeling shite
I'm going home alone tonight
I made a move when it was well out of context
It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco
I did something I'll never forget
It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
I made a move when it was well out of context
It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
Yeah, it backfired at the disco, when she slapped me at the disco
It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco

Please allow me
To be your anti depressant
I too, I am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant
We kick back and let the pills do the talkin
People hear a distinct rattle when we're walkin
Then there's the extra two stone that's our only guarantee
Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies
They get entangled well within our daily routines
So please rethink or use my ..... strategy
Chorus
And please allow me to be your anti depressant
I too, I am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant
(Ahhhh aaaah) x4
Its hard to smile when your as flattened as a pancake
The only tears come from our heads when we concentrate
Perhaps I'm being unjust or perhaps you agree
Still I've thrown away my cit@lopr@m
I need it more than what was in those forty miligrams
So cast away with the doctors plans
Chorus
Please allow me to be your anti- depressant,
I too, I am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant
(Ahhhh aaaah) x4
Still I've thrown away my cit@lopr@m
Although I felt as grim as the reaper man
So cast away with the doctors plans like me

Oooh ooh ooh, ba ba oooh ooh ooh
Don't you think kind of cruel?
My two door rocking rover bean-can is the only thing that reminds me of you
I'm sorry I missed your show last night
It's just my car broke down and mirrored both our lives
Oooh ooh ooh, ba ba oooh ooh ooh
I think I miss my metro, oh
I think I miss my metro, or maybe I just miss you
Don't you think its kind of cool?
My tape-player was bust but it always played for you
Then you slapped me from the passenger seat
I think my car got really pissed off so it failed its M.O.T!
Oooh ooh ooh, ba ba oooh ooh ooh
I think I miss my metro, oh
I think I miss my metro, or maybe I just miss you
He's just my little blue bomb on the A11....
I think I miss my metro, oh
I think I miss my metro, or maybe I just miss you

I'm a good friend and an excellent lover
I can fool myself just like no other person can
I'm turning into a twisted man
I haven't got any time for selfless deeds
What I do for you is indirectly for me, I'm a stubborn boy
There's nothing here that you can break or destroy
Then as I count sheep in my bed
A train of worry pulls us through my head
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Through all my talk of self-defeat
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
Last night I dreamt I died alone
From now on I'll curb the cynical speaking
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Someone once said I don't have any feelings
Well, I think that emotions can be misleading and thinking back
I might have nailed the coffin shut with that
As I tend to cry in a room full of laughter
Is the cheese finally sliding off of it's cracker?
I don't know, I'll just prepare myself to let it go
As I count sheep in my bed
A train of worry pulls through my head
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Through all my talk of self-defeat
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
Last night I dreamt I died alone
From now on I'll curb the cynical speaking
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
Last night I dreamt I died alone
And apart from when I lost my virginity
I've never been known to frighten easily

Remember when I found a broken branch
And shoved it through your bicycle spokes
And how remorse quickly took it's stance
When you hit the deck and broke your nose
You were always the emo type
Straightened hair matched to a bitter tone
Well I don't care much for fashion or socialites
The nihilists always get my vote
All she ever wanted was a little direction
All she ever needed was a friend
All she ever made were the worst impressions
All she ever did was offend
You're the only one to ??? my sex drive
Will you or won't you?
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
Remember when you laid me on my back
And performed to me my favourite song
And how i shivered up on it's climax
And those lips still plague my thoughts ten years on
You were always the emo type
Straightened hair matched to a bitter tone
Well i dont care much for fashion or socialites
The nihilists always get my vote
All she ever wanted was a little direction
All she ever needed was a friend
All she ever made were the worst impressions
All she ever did was offend
You're the only one to my sex drive
Will you or won't you?
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
Valentine, valentine
All she ever wanted was a little direction
Far away from this broken sea
And all I ever needed was some domination
From a girl with low self esteem
I think we share the same blood type
Will you or won't you? Valentine

I had no cares in the 1990's
I knew of no downfalls
Though war was breaking out all around me
My concerns were with prank calls
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
Right in front of the older kids
When our self belief, when our self belief
Wasn't scared by the modern itch
Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There's little here to miss...
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
Bring back 1996
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
We were building telescopes
And sugar filled the whole of my body
As I urged it on to grow
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
Just to impress the older kids
When my self belief, when my self belief
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There's little here to miss...
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
Stop talking, stop talking
I need a lover not a friend tonight
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I'm not cut out for the modern life
I'll never beat those teenage kicks

We're going on holiday
So why have you got an array of board games under your arm?
What’s the point in going somewhere else
If you're only going to do exactly what you would be doing at home?
Looks like we're both in checkmate now
Board games have a double meaning in this caravan in Wales
You sink ships when we should be kissing
Monopoly has thrown us in jail!
So stick the kettle on, so stick the kettle on!
Cos that’s your get out call, your automatic response when everything is going wrong
It was you who killed us in the bedroom with the lights on
Board games have a double meaning in this caravan in Wales
You sink ships when we should be kissing
Monopoly has thrown us in jail!
Board games have a double meaning in this caravan in Wales
You play Scrabble though we should be kissing
Monopoly has thrown us in jail!

Grandad George said the heroes are the ones that run away,
But I wear no medals I'm sprawled in a toilet on my birthday,
Welcome to my circuitboard city of yellow and black,
We all score WD40 so our hearts dont crack,
I must admit I need a speedbump,
To slow down my higher brain.
Have a dance,
Have a drink,
Suppress it back ruin everything,
Have a dance,
Have a drink,
Suppress it back ruin everything tonight,
Lets ruin everything tonight.
Ive got a note,
Ive got a note, from my doctor,
So please release me from your rat-race melodrama,
Ill throw a spanner in the works,
I want more chaos of this order,
Ill throw a spanner in the works,
I want more chaos of this order,
Have a dance,
Have a drink,
Suppress it back, ruin everything
Have a dance,
Have a drink
Suppress it back, ruin everything
Have a dance,
Have a drink
Suppress it back, ruin everything
Have a dance,
Have a drink,
Suppress it back, ruin everything tonight
Can’t wait to wallow in self pity
In my circuit board city tonight
I can’t wait to wallow in self pity
In my circuit board city tonight
I can’t wait to wallow in self pity
In my circuit board city tonight
I can’t wait to wallow in self pity

We don't care for romance
Romance or shooting stars
They were last found together in 18th century memoirs
We don't care for lovers
If loving is all that they've got
There must be other hobbies if they want to keep the plot
I'm a man of simple taste
No whisky or caviar
And what I feel is what I say
I'm not trying to be smart
I like girls, girls and fast cars
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your heart little heart
They melt, they melt, they melt your little heart
We don't care for New Year
New Year or fireworks
If all they represent is how to go from bad to worse
But let's not feel disheartened
There's no need to turn the locks
We'll stick to what we know and what we know is not a lot
I'm a man of simple taste
No chewing on fat cigars
And what I feel is what I say I'm not trying to be smart
I like girls, girls and fast cars
It's cheap and it's pathetic but you can't hate me just because
I like girls, girls and fast cars
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart

I'd say that this is darkest song I ever wrote.
No hint of a smile,
or the usual quirky anecdotes.
No, this is a song about someone knew what not to say,
what not to do,
so now,
I think I'll just be honest.
I hope that no one ever leaves,
'cause I don't wanna be alone with me,
not with the things that rush up and down this symphonous smile.
Here comes the love anxiety,
can't let it grab a hold of me,
not after last time.
Why'd you have to wear skirts and heels like that?
She's blinding anyway but now she's floodlighting up the match.
Well it's 20 minutes 'til showtime,
but the backstage is the stage tonight,
so now,
I think I'll just be honest.
I hope that no one ever leaves,
'cause I don't wanna be alone with me,
not with the things that rush up and down this symphonous smile.
Here comes the love anxiety,
can't let it grab a hold of me,
not like the last time.
Here comes the love anxiety,
it's gonna grab a hold of me,

It all started on the school bus,
You were 9 and I was 10,
Remember you had a Walkman,
All I had was a middle part and a pen
Oh sweet Louise,
Whatever happened to her?
Then is all went downhill,
You grew tall I stayed the same,
I guess that's just puberty,
Making us boys all play a losing game
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I'm glad I'm not back in school
She got an older boyfriend (how could she?)
Had a beard,
Smoked Marlboro red,
How can I compete with that? (how can he?)
I don't even know the location of the bike sheds
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you
I remember short skirts,
Long hair,
My hormones flying everywhere
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you

I'm going to the doctors on friday
im going to the doctors on friday

my GP's going to help me this friday
her name's suzanne and she's got a PhD
and i think that she likes me,

Dont think im wasting your time
this is not a drama piece of mine
i'm not here to tell you lies
suzanne you better believe me this time
Help me suzanne, help help me suzanne!
Help me suzanne, help help me suzanne!
She told me to stop smoking but i'll do it anyways
they told me to stop smoking but i'll do it anyways
i don't care now, i can't see it hurt me
they told me to stop drinking but i'll do it anyway
they told me to stop drinking but i'll do it anyway
i don't care now, maybe ive died inside
Dont think im wasting your time
this is not a drama piece of mine
i'm not here to tell you lies
suzanne you better believe me this time
Help me suzanne, help help me suzanne!

Our television saw the red mist yesterday
By playing re-runs of all the soap opera's we hate
And then it played Songs of Praise, its just another sorry Sunday
We should wake up early and walk
This would nurse the feeling from the night before
But instead you watch 'Channel 5'
Though we know they play the same films every single night (Like Alien 3)
Sundays and I are not meant to be
And it doesn’t affect you like it does me
Please can we have 6 days a week
Yes it doesn't affect you like it does me
Please can you turn off Sunday TV
Go on turn it off, go on turn it off
Go on turn it off, go on turn it off
Please can you turn off Sunday TV
She settles down to watch 'Heartbeat'
With the roast I made so despairingly
And its tradition she screams
But we're not in a golf cub here are we?
We're not in a golf club here are we; we're not in a golf club here are we?
And it doesn’t affect you like it does me
Please can we have 6 days a week
No it doesn't affect you like it does me
Please can you turn off Sunday TV
Go on turn it off, go on turn it off
Go on turn it off, go on turn it off
Please can you turn off Sunday TV
If I had Sky I'd be alright, If I had Sky I'd be alright
If I has Sky I’d be alright, I'd be a couch potatoe all my life!
Go on turn it off, go on turn it off
Go on turn it off, go on turn it off

East London's not a bomb site
It is a treasure chest
We use our penguin costumes
More than our evening dress
She said I should come over
Though the music's not my type
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Just to have a good time?
Shut up and move with me, move with me
Or, or get out of my face
I didn't queue for an hour
To leave straight away
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me
Or, or let go of my hands
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno fan
This is not a weird weekend
It's an angry wormhole
I'm talking like a city boy
And drinking with a northern soul
She said I should come over
Though it's carnage at times
It still seems I'd chop a limb off
Before I put up a fight
Shut up and move with me, move with me
Or, or get out of my face
I didn't queue for an hour
To leave straight away
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me
Or, or let go of my hands
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno
We are the 1980s
We are the Detroit lights
And I never wanna, I never wanna see this stop
I'm in debt to you but don't feed me plant food
So shut up and move with me, move with me
Or, or get out of my face
I didn't spend 20 sheets
To not cut a shape
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me
Or, or let go of my hand
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno fan
I never knew I was a techno fan

We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally I know now what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes
[Chorus:]
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics you'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort in what my mind can't comprehend
Finally I work out what it takes
It takes money and airplanes
[Chorus:]
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go and follow someone else's lead
[Chorus:]
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah ah)

She used to get her kicks from a four to the floor
But now she's always wasted
A total looker but she's jaded
That kind of shivering wreck that I adore
I can't offer you a rescue
But I can tell you what I'd do
I'd tell me mother that I love her
I'd tell my father that I need him back again
And if these words wont drop from your lips
I will be your Freudian slip
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Only finding questions in answers
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
She only finds her love in a downtown score
Consumption makes her stronger
You're the sweetest anaconda
The kind of lack of respect that I adore
I can't offer you a rescue
But when you've lost all that you had left to lose
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
I'd tell my father that I need him back again
And if these words wont drop from your lips
I will be your Freudian slip
As sharp as a knife
And as blunt as a will
You'll be my calm
I'll be your pneumatic drill
And what we'll never want
We'll always need
And right now we need some pop psychology
To keep us upbeat
So tell your mother that you love her dearly
And tell your father that you won't lock him out again
And if these words won't drop from your lips
I will be your Freudian slip
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Only finding questions in answers
You and I are just walking disasters
