I was born the year punk broke
Days before the king was dead It was the year of the snake I was a red-faced child Who stumbled where he tread Was kept in orderly file My parents name me Ed I tried my hardest to smile And like my daddy said I've tried to be myself Sometimes daydreaming for hours Wishing for a dangerous life Cut the leash some slack Run into the morning light Race the trains by the track Until my mouth feels dry But can you count on me? I might let you down In a world that is so sensational No you can count on me I'm living for the now Up against the older generation's wall Born in the '70s Born in the '70s After a length of time You're this parody Just like the record's stuck Always repeating the past That never liked you before You had no reason to last We're in a silent war A telepathic blast And like my daddy said These are exciting times The future grabs my throat And let's me know it's alright If I believe in love Then I believe in hate too I'll taste the darker stuff To find some lasting truth |

Well I burned all my travellers Cheques Just to show you my respect Then I hung myself out to dry And You looked at me and asked me why So I said I dont mind if I lose Cos if I win ill be so confused But thats not what you'd expect From the man whose plan is already wrecked And if you need to kiss me You'll most definitely miss me When im gone Well there's a thousand things i shouldn't do But if I do them I should do them with you So wont you fall into my arms again And hold me for the world may end And if you need to kiss me You'll most definitely miss me When im gone God you make me sing funny things about you You infect my mind all the time you do Well I just cant contain myself In fact im worried i might lose my health I cant eat sleep or hardly breathe I can hardly ever watch you leave And if you need to kiss me You'll most definitely miss me When im gone God you make me sing funny things about you You infect my mind all the time you do |

For days I've searched for the words
So I don't make a mess of this I'll trade my eyes for a fleeting wish I woke at 7am The cold air was not becoming This tune I started humming And you lay there so still With dark eyes shut and whiskey breath You hadn't taken off your black dress The curtain fell from it's rail I shut the window so it wouldn't shatter But it was nothing it didn't matter To me our lives are barely built to last How did you creep up on me so damn fast my dear? I sat in the kitchen and thought I've had a few knocks here and there Was mostly my fault so I don't care You said I have a bad side It comes when all the clocks have stopped I feel my heart begin to drop To me our lives are fast approaching death So lets go out in my suit and your black dress |

With beady black eyes, the bluebird has died It's feathers have dried, it couldn't survive From the winter's grasp, nothing ever lasts But you and I know, the seasons are slow The rivers they froze, the wind always blows Down all our dreams, the engine's out of steam All of your days will be blessed So put on a smile and get dressed Into the void we will fly away from here All of your thoughts will be crowned You'll be the toast of town Into the view of a million crystal spheres Pitchfork in my foot, I tried the best I could Dragging all this wood, with a rusty old fishhook To feed the figher and make our blood flow higher But I'm a stubborn man, the sun needs my command I'm gonna make a stand, condemnd this twisted land I'm sure you'd agree, but I can't leave you see All of your days will be blessed So put on a smile and get dressed Into the void we will fly away from here All of your thoughts will be crowned You'll be the toast of town Into the view of a million crystal spheres All of your days will be blessed So put on a smile and get dressed Into the void we will fly away from here All of your thoughts will be crowned You'll be the toast of town Into the view of a million crystal spheres But you and I know, the seasons are slow The rivers they froze, the wind always blows Down all our dreams, the engine's out of steam |

I feel so far away from love
'Cause I can never get enough Like the kid with his hand in the highest jar And if I came back from the grave for a while Would you could you make a dead man smile? I'd wear you on my arm like a brand new scar My oh my oh my I've had a few But my oh my oh my this one's for you My heart is on its sleeve I need you to believe That the dark times will fade So crack the shell of the hardest heart Slip inside when they're caught off guard Kill all the urgent lies that stain their blood And if you think that you know everything Don't give me this chance to sing I'm not a fool, a fool to lighten up And I can't stop staring at you And your expression looks a little confused This little story will end so well |

When you're on your own
You walk in the rain You walk around the house Then walk around it again You pretend you're happy That you've got it all But don't be upset If you fall on your knees And beg like a dog I've reached a low, don't you know You're the apple of my eye I'm running low, with this show No matter how I try I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks You're the apple of my eye I drink a lot of wine When I am alone I lose my track of time My ideas turn to stone I pretend I'm sad That I'm still so small But I'm not upset If I fall on my knees And beg like a dog I've reached a low, don't you know You're the apple of my eye I'm running low, with this show No matter how I try I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks You're the apple of my eye I've reached a low, don't you know You're the apple of my eye I'm running low, with this show No matter how I try I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks You're the apple of my eye |

Got a visit from the dead dog
He slept at the end of my bed last night He could tell I was fading And somehow fighting against the light And everyday when I open my eyes I see unwanted funerals Maybe I'll be buried alive But I've never seen you so beautiful Oh, I'm staying in today And watch the others play Oh, wash my sins away Like all good children, I mean what I say I guess God has the last laugh From up on high he lets us kill And his people die for their faith And we call it triumph of the will All the theories in my own head Fragment and bump into themselves I'll run instead of taking a walk Instead of sixes I see twelves Oh, I'm staying in today And watch the others play Oh, wash my sins away Like all good children, I mean what I say Run where you've never been before Lest the dead dog chases you home Run where you've never been before Lest the dead dog chases you home Oh, I'm staying in today And watch the others play Oh, wash my sins away Like all good children, I mean what I say Run where you've never been before Lest the dead dog chases you home Run where you've never been before Lest the dead dog chases you home |

Spider has eight legs you know
Spins its web the patterns flow There's something in my eye Bloodshot in disguise God knows I really tried Making the big time Aiming to climb high Scattered seeds can't fight the cold Circus horse just wants to hold There's something in my eye Bloodshot in disguise God knows I'm really tired Let's make the big time Aiming to climb high Let's make the big time Aiming to climb high Aiming to climb high Spider has eight legs you know |

You know it feels nice, watching the sun come up
and I쨈ve realised I can never return Oh babe it feels good, watching the sun come up I can attack the day with the will to burn And the sky is a picture of violence Blood red and steely blue It has beauty that could never be silenced Oh yeah it reminds me of you And if you쨈re broken down lying face on the ground it쨈s too late For i쨈ve seen it all as the shadows fall When the dawn breakes I could never be beyond repair I could never be beyond repair Watching the sun come up And my hands; they are shaking Whilst my feet they cannot turn It쨈s all making sense; I쨈m finally taking Each day with the will to burn And the sky is a picture of violence Blood red and steely blue It has beauty that could never be silenced Oh yeah it reminds me of you And if you쨈re broken down lying face on the ground it쨈s too late For i쨈ve seen it all as the shadows fall When the dawn breakes I could never be beyond repair I could never be beyond repair Watching the sun come up It all could happen if I want it to (x 4) It feels nice watching the sun come up and I쨈ve realised I can never return Babe it feels good watching the sun come up I can attack the day with the will to burn... |

In an empty cinema (loneliness)
When your old friends drift apart (loneliness) Wandering round the house in the dark (lonelines) Faded glory of a broken star (loneliness) Loneliness Loneliness What would I do without you? Stays around, won't let you be (loneliness) Corners me in dead-end streets (loneliness) To bring unwanted memories (loneliness) That find their way into my blood stream (loneliness) Loneliness Loneliness What would I do without you? Loneliness Loneliness Is this all you have to give me? Your love is a place for a lonely man With too much in his head The liars and thieves who cramp your style Won't be there for your last breath Be there for your last breath Loneliness! Loneliness! What would I do without you? Loneliness! Loneliness! Is this all you have to give me? To give me? To give me? |

Oh beware of bleeding lung
and bugs that eat their young The demons in your head The wolves under your bead The bones of dinosaurs hidden below the floors They rattle and they shake and make the sound that... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight The sandman you must trust he sprinkles golden dust The howling of the owl makes me sleepwalk on clouds A thousand pianos play I still hear them the next day A barrel full of snakes they make the sound that... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight The thorn that stays so firmly in my side These fireflies leave me behind The bones of dinosaurs hidden below the floors They rattle and they shake and make the sound that... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight |

Let's move away together, go interplanetary
Maybe in Chinese weather, where it's sanitary I'll go out trawler fishing, yeah we'll have tuna steak I'm on a special mission, for us to have a break We'll climb the corporate buildings Spray-paint the outside walls You bet that they'll be yielding When the castle falls We'll swim beneath the ocean Near the coral reef I have a certain notion That it will not be brief We're going to Shanghai To watch the red sky We're moving to Shanghai Goodbye, goodbye We're going to Shanghai So don't you cry We're moving to Shanghai Looks like we might have made it Put on your silkworm dress You look so beautiful and I look such a mess Across the city's landscape, the sun burns crimson red Maybe the moon will wait, before we go to bed We're going to Shanghai To watch the red sky We're moving to Shanghai Goodbye, goodbye We're going to Shanghai So don't you cry We're moving to Shanghai Maybe, maybe we'll have a fresh new start I'll learn the martial arts We'll have our own rickshaw cart We're moving to Shanghai |

Hanging off the bridge by a fingernail
Trapped in the harbour when the ship set sail Boy you're one card short of the pack Begging for your baby to take you back Stubbed a cigarette out on his hand Scrawls her name across the sand But it disappears like King Canute The tide didn't like his attitude Always shadowboxing Face up and throw your gloves in Lose your imaginary friends Always good for nothing She can't ever love him No man is ever innocent Bouncing off the walls with no wish to land Erase your fingerprints and your retina scan 'Cause there's no point in the life that he should lead Chain his leg to a piano and sink through the weeds Gone are all the dreams that last forever He towed the line when never meant never They had something better than the cynical beast Weren't sucked in by the popular disease Always shadowboxing Face up and throw your gloves in Lose your imaginary friends Always good for nothing She can't ever love him No man is ever innocent |

Scream through the silence and over the hills
10 thousand years have gone by Passing the islands and broken down mills The train silhouettes through the skyline Mere emotion, see the ocean Just for one day Life speeded up since you threw me a smile Please don't jump on the train for a short while yet Waking up with cold feet Wine stains on my shirt Flat out in sparse fields of dry wheat Going to Sunday church Leaves on the trees splinter out of control While the wind blows the dust on my face Down in the valley where nobody goes I can't help feeling sad in this place Mere motion, see the ocean Just for one day The whistle of the distant train The whistle of the distant train |

If the world did end
Would you be my apocalyptic friend? Until tomorrow then If the skies did fall Would you pick up my last call? Until tomorrow then Navigate to the moon Flee the planet this afternoon Until tomorrow then With the waves rising high We'd be the first most likely to die Until tomorrow then I guess, it's you I miss 'Cause I just stare at the ceiling My stomach knots and twists You've created this feeling And I may be out of style But do you know what true love is? I'll make this all so worthwhile So let's rise above this Let's rise above this So I dug a tunnel underground And waited patiently to be found Until tomorrow then All my ideas make them laugh But in the end you will see they're not so daft And we'll have sorrow to spend I guess, it's you I miss 'Cause I just stare at the ceiling My stomach knots and twists You've created this feeling And I may be out of style But do you know what true love is? I'll make this all so worthwhile So let's rise above this Let's rise above this Let's rise above this |

Bring you flowers in the morning
I don't know what else to do Got a suitcase and a passport But all I really want is you I'm not sure if I can fake it I only write songs when I'm sad But being isn't all I've had Since... You put a spell on me There's no escaping when You put a spell on me I can't explain Why You put a spell on me Yeah, you put a spell on me Made a painting for your birthday For my words they come out wrong Couldn't say the things I'm feeling So I threw them in a song I'm not sure if I can take it If I'm the last romantic alive Still star crossed til my dying You put a spell on me There's no escaping You put a spell on me I can't explain why You put a spell on me And I never speak Since you put a spell on me Wasn't sure if I could make it As everyday kept passing by Then I felt in a blink of an eye Cause... You put a spell on me There's no escaping You put a spell on me I can't explain why You put a spell on me And I never speak, only saying Since you put a spell on me |
