Help comes when you need it most
I'm cured for laughter Mood swings not sure I can cope My life's in plaster (in plaster) May your mind set you free (Opened by the wonderful) May your heart lead you on May your mind let you breathe all of disaster (Opened by the wonderful) May your heart lead you on These wounds are all self-imposed Life's no disaster, disaster All roads lead unto death-row Who knows what's after? May your mind be wide open May your heart beat strong May your mind's will be broken By this heart-felt song May your mind set you free (Be opened by the wonderful) May your heart lead you on May your mind let you breathe all of disaster (Be opened by the wonderful) May your heart lead you on, may your heart lead you on May your eyes let you see all of disaster May your heart lead you on, lead you on (May your eyes be opened by the wonderful) Set you free (May your heart lead you on) Lead you on |

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder" Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul There's four new colors in the rainbow An old man's taking polaroids But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his And I swear I can hear the sea Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul (I can touch your soul ) (I can reach your soul) Sometimes |

This bed is on fire
With passionate love The neighbours complain about the noises above But she only comes when she's on top My therapist said not to see you no more She said you're like a disease without any cure She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no Ah, you think you're so pretty Caught your hand inside the till Slammed your fingers in the door Fought with kitchen knives and skewers Dressed me up in women's clothes Messed around with gender roles Lined my eyes and call me pretty Moved out of the house, so you moved next door I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home Raid Raid |

What a life, a trick of light
Then everything returns to the sea You can have whatever you want But are you disciplined enough to be free? Turning love into a chore Promises come cheap, dear reader Another page, another door Follow, follow me I know what I'm here for Hanging on through late December I know what I'm here for Follow, follow me Follow me Moving on, I don't belong My life turned into a mall Every line is in the song Follow me out of the fall What an actor, what a show Just going through some holy motions The band is sharp, but the singer's slow Everything must go I know what I'm here for Hanging on through late December I know what I'm here for Follow, follow me Follow me Follow me (x8) Souvenirs, polygraph tests Photographs fresh from the wreck What a poster saint he'll make In one take, one take I know what I'm here for Hanging on through late December I know what I'm here for Follow, follow me Follow me Follow me (x8) |

You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawed
He has a vague memory of before some fall Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall If god is in his image, the almighty must be small God only knows Swaggart has been caught with his trousers round his knees After damning me and you to hell for eternity Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests They bribe their way past heaven's gates and steal a set of keys God only knows My guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep While I was fucking celibate, self-righteous in belief Yesterday he was god, now he is a creep We fell upon each other starving for belief God only knows I speak in the name of god I speak in the name of that white haired old man in the clouds Always a man Dispensing lightening justice from his fingertips Watching you every second of the day Just waiting for you to fuck up I speak in the name of God I'm his intermediary I'm a Mollah, I'm a Priest, I'm a Vicar If you want to go to God You have to come through me Is heaven full, oh lord, of these babbling preachers and God-fearing biggots All these sef-rightious, self-appointed prophets because if so:- I know where I'd rather be Away from this cacophony Away from this cacophony God only knows God only knows God only knows |

Someone's got it in for me
I don't want your sympathy Life just never turned out how I wanted it to Could have been a shooting star Should have made it past the bar Would have been a winner if I'd ever got that far What a state I'm in My self pitying Here's another victim Singing suffering If only I had made the grade Been more loved Been less afraid If only I had scored the goal Got the girl Or even played What a state I'm in My self pitying Here's another victim Singing suffering Fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again Then fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again My life's turned to minor chords Loser sad And life's a bore Can't see the point of living In this fashion anymore What a state I'm in My self pitying Here's another victim Selling suffering Fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again Then fall Let it fall away Then rise To be born again |

Drifting through the atmosphere
Through the afterglow Witnessing one thousand lives Are blown, where the wind blows Falling in between the lines Never fitting in Someone tells me what’s my crime Too thin I’m too thin Due to come back down due to come back down Don’t wanna, don’t wanna land Due to come back down, due to come back down I don’t wanna, don’t wanna land Don’t wanna, don’t wanna, land Land Land This time I’ve a starring role Hide the shape I’m in I’m too old to sacrifice for gold, and skin For gold And skin For gold For gold Down, don’t want to come back down, don’t want to land Down, don’t want to come down, down don’t want to land Down, don’t want to come down, down don’t want to land Down, don’t want to come down, down don’t want to land Drifting through the atmosphere Floating through this land Sifting through one thousand years Of sand All sand Drifting through the atmosphere Floating through this land Sifting through one thousand years Of sand All sand Drifting through the atmosphere Floating through this land Sifting through one thousand years Of sand All sand Drifting through the atmosphere |

I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when I was small Lost in memories, lost in all the sheets and old pillows So alone tonight, miss you more than I will let you know Miss the outline of your back, miss you breathing down my neck All out to get you, once again They're all out to get you, once again Insecure, what you gonna do Feel so small, they could step on you Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch Is what I need, what I need, what I need, what I need.. what I need is you I need you Looked in the mirror, I don't know who I am any more The face is familiar, but the eyes, the eyes give it all away They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you Here they come again.... Insecure, what you gonna do Feel so small, they could step on you Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch Is what I need, what I need, what I need What I need, what I need, what I need is you... (What I need)... If you let me breathe, if you let me breathe They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you To get you, once again |

This songs made up, made second rate
Cosmetic music, powderpuff Pop tunes, false rhymes, all lightweight bluffs Second-hand ideas, no soul, no hate Wasn't mean to be Built on complacency The nightmares ride away When you refuse to play Oh go and read a book It's so much more worth while Being a song-smith crook Study death in style Death in style This language used is all worn out A walking corpse that won't play dead Disease dragged on from bed to bed Pay for your twist, paid for shout Wasn't meant to be Built on complacency Open your eyes and see That lie is not for we Raise a rope and a knife Cut it out - the lie I don't want to decay Take the short cut away Oh go and read a book It's so much more worthwhile Being a song-smith crook Study death in style Study death in style Heard you calling through the drumbeat Answered with sticks and bones Scream, shout, and dance about the campfire You can hear the question, can you feel the reply? Heard you calling through the drumbeat Heard you calling through the drumbeat Can you hear the question, feel the reply? Can you hear the question, feel the reply?

All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires Strange conversation Self control has just expired All an illusion Only in my head you don't exist Who are you foolin' Don't need a shrink or an exorcist La la la la la, la la la la la La la la la la, la la la la la la Show me the movie Of who you are and where you're from Born of frustration Caught upon the webs you spun Where's the confusion A vision of what life is like Show me the movie That doesn't deal in black and white Stop stop talkin 'bout who's to blame But all that counts is how to change Stop stop talkin 'bout who's to blame When all that counts is how to change La la la la la, la la la la la La la la la la, la la la la la la All this frustration All this frustration Who put brown owl eyes on a butterfly's wings All this frustration All this frustration Who gave the leopard spots and taught the birds to sing Born of frustration Born of frustration I'm living in the weeds where nothing is the way it seems Where no one is who they need to be Where nothing seems that real to me 'Bout time we filled our lives Upon the walls of gold no solid ground The world is spinnin' endlessly We're clinging to our own beliefs Born of frustration Born of frustration |

Ring ring the bells
Wake the town Everyone is sleeping Shout at the crowd Wake them up This anger’s deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can’t see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me ... Break break the code Concentrate Let the doors swing open See through all your walls All your floors Now you’re in deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can’t see a thing through my ambition, I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me ... When you let me fall Grew my own wings Now I’m as tall as the sky When you let me drown Grew gills and fins Now I’m as deep as the sea When you let me die My spirit’s free There’s nothing challenging me ... |

The view from here's breathtaking
My visions all surrounding The humans look like insects There is only one way down But it's cold and lonely in this stratosphere Gliding through the darkness Where is my craft leading to Am I damned or blessed? Don't let go on top of the world Don't let go on top of the world Will my good friends desert me Or will they prove themselves? Are my demands all greedy Or are they what I need? If I will not be faithful I must accept betrayal When your turn comes to leave me Will my free ways have failed? Don't let go on top of the world Don't let go on top of the world I'll meet you inside this hollow world I'll meet you inside Hollow world, hollow world It's a long way down It's a long way down And I'm so cold |

Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
To perfection Fall into a spin, shed another skin Strip away all your protection Laugh at the wonder of it all Laugh so loud you break the fall And you see the gathering clouds Cry at the sadness of the world Cry so long you break its cold And you hear the gathering sounds Do everything you fear In this there's power Fear is not to be afraid of Laugh at the wonder of it all Laugh so loud you break your fall And you hear the gathering sounds Come, dip on in Leave your bones, leave your skin Leave your past, leave your craft Leave your suffering heart |

Break my shape
In light I trust None exists Save space and dust None exists Just lights in time Space divides the borderline The borderline Space between And space inside My four walls My shape defines Space defines You've got to get over yourself You've got to get out of the frame Got to learn to see yourself A total stranger You've got to get out of the frame Get yourself a brand new name Got to learn to see yourself A total stranger It's a shock to my system To wind up back where I have come from It's a crime in my child's eyes To find out life is in my mind You've got to get over yourself You've got to get out of the frame Got to learn to see yourself A total stranger You've got to get out of the frame Get yourself a brand new name Got to learn to see yourself A total stranger It's a shock to my system To wind back where I have come from It's a crime to my child's eyes To find out life's disguise Oh no All gone All gone Nothing to hold me down No All gone I'm gone Nothing to hold me down No All gone I'm gone Nothing to hold me down No I'm gone I'm gone Nothing to hold me down ...

Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure Whenever her face is frozen Unable to fake it anymore Her shadow is always with her Her shadow could always keep her small So frightened that he won't love her She builds up a wall Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark She's a star She's a star She's been in disguise forever She's tried to disguise her stellar views Much brighter than all this static Now she's coming through Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark She's a star She's a star Don't tell her to turn down Put on your shades if you can't see Don't tell her to turn down Turn up the flame She's a star She's a star It's a long road It's a great cause It's a long road Its a good call You got it You got it She's a Star |

It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure This is a testing time when the choice is mine Am I a fool for love or foolish for desire You can throw him out you can spit on him Call what he does a sin if it makes you feel better And I can't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me And the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home After thirty years I've become my fears I've become the kind of man I always hated I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart Has flipped out of the pan into the fire I am in love insane with a sense of shame That I threw stones at the condemned and Now I'm slated And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need And I need to feel that you're not holding me And the way I feel just makes me want to scream Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home, come home |

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour Secrets I can't keep Inside of the day Swing from high to deep Extremes of sweet and sour Hope that god exists I hope I pray Drawn by the undertow My life is out of control I believe this wave will bear my weight So let it flow Chorus : Oh sit down ( X3 ) Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down In sympathy Now I'm relieved to hear That you've been to some far out places It's hard to carry on When you feel all alone Now I've swung back down again It's worse than it was before If I hadn't seen such rishes I could live with being poor Chorus Those who feel the breath of sadness Sit down next to me Those who find the're touched by madness Sit down next to me Those who find themselves ridiculous Sit down next to me In love, in fear, in hate, in tears... Down Down |
