do you see the stars or the darkness begin? you fight your war, i fight for my life you pay your dues and i'll pay mine it's not war - just the end of love just like before but it's never enough oh, it's never enough you fight your war, i fight for my life you pay your dues, and i never pay mine to feel forgiveness you gotta forgive it's lost on me, i believe in revenge it's not war - just the end of love you've got the looks, but i've got the scars it's not war - just the end of love to feel some tenderness, do you have to give up? do you have to give up? oh, do you have to give up? it's not war - just the end of love (just the end of...) just like before, but it's never enough it's not war - just the end of love you weathered the storm but sheltered the loss but sheltered the loss but sheltered the loss |

I don't believe the absolutes anymore
I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong This life it sucks your principles away You have to fight against it every single day These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again It is like so many other things As distant as your former sins So sad and lonely and so derelict As the optimism that we once shared These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again I send you postcards every single day Just to prove I still exist This world will not impose its will I will not give up and I will not give in and I will not give up and I will not give in These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again These are the postcards from a young man They may never be written or posted again I won't betray your confidence I won't pretend my way was lost This world will not impose its will I will not give up and I will not give in This world will not impose its will I will not give up and I will not give in |

The sky is falling in on you
Crushed any happiness you knew The tree gave more to you than love It's still there but baby your gone Remember you stretched out in the sun All alone forever, conclusions forgone Will you find some kind of nothingness? Still and lonely like an old school photograph Laid yourself out under the stars Some peace at last so don't be sad A fitting end to your "end" But "baby deaths our only friend" Remember you stretched out in the sun All alone forever, conclusions forgone Will you find some kind of nothingness? Still and lonely like an old school photograph Your future glory all empty of thoughts There's beauty doing nothing at all It's what you wanted, it's what you got Your final search for truth has stopped There's beauty doing nothing at all Never, never stop Never, never, never stop Never stop, never stop, never stop Never Remember you, stretched out in the sun All alone forever, conclusions forgone Will you find some kind of nothingness? Still and lonely like an old school photograph |

Will my kingdom disappear and fade away Will sleep overcome the hurt and then decay I can't be poisoned and you will not make me cry I've cleansed my ugliness & I've cleansed my paranoia The winner takes it all My baby teeth are gone Into a better place That I have yet to go Will I burn or will I pray Will sleep consume my waking days Descent is getting steeper day by day This is my last descent I hope I'm making sense I've lost my last defence This is my last descent Have my expectations gone too far again Do I have the courage of the books I've read Do you understand the pain we're going through There is no need to leave me beaten black and blue The winner takes it all My baby teeth are gone Into a better place That I have yet to go Will I burn or will I pray Will sleep consume my waking days Descent is getting steeper day by day This is my last descent I hope I'm making sense I've lost my last defence This is my last descent This is my last descent I hope I'm making sense The pages that you left |

The modern world sits so easily
A different kind of honesty Yes I worship at the altar I am a happy consumer A record shop and some clarity Don't need a wilderness to feel solitary Oh don't need a wilderness So take me back So take me back To Hazelton Avenue To Hazelton Avenue Motion coffee sleep It's all I really need Moving on accept all my apologies Oh motion coffee sleep Please accept all my apologies Amongst the crowd the disconnect is sweeter Alone in bed the joy is even deeper I feel like I could - write a best seller So take me back So take me back To Hazelton Avenue To Hazelton Avenue |

The more I want to be me, the less I know myself
The living left to die, while ghosts are brought to life Welcome to these slave trades Drained of delusion and buried in debt How the hell do we find each other suffering auto-intoxication But disaster isn't coming, it's already arrived I am so lucky, I think that I survived I am what I am, my body belongs to me My work will set me free and fulfil my dreams A new economy embraces the ruins It makes us strong and soothes our fears Welcome to these slave trades Drained of delusion and buried in debt How the hell do we find each other suffering auto-intoxication But disaster isn't coming, it's already arrived I am so lucky, I think that I survived |

The platitudes they all dissolved
They got too deep, got too involved The platitudes just interludes To break the trust with me and you Oh what a shangri-la Oh what a shower we are Oh what a mess we've made What happened to those days When everything seemed possible With no-one to tell you no Where did the feeling go? Where did it all go wrong? Born to be a communist But then the marriage failed As did the partnership The platitudes they all dissolved They got too deep, got too involved The platitudes just interludes To break the trust with me and you I fell back in love with love I know that it might sound odd The liberal left destroyed Every bit of our youth Left with the barest of bones Leaving us all with holes Where did it all go wrong? Where did the feeling go? Why colonise the moon When every different kind Of desperation exists? In every single home Where did the feeling go? Where did the feeling go? Where did it all go wrong? |

I think I've found it
And I think I love it Buried in the dirt Hiding from the light So I walked to the sea Threw a pebble in for you and me A day of wine and roses Has made me feel alive My letter was burnt but your words were wise For mystery and youth must surely collide A song of anti-matter Which might explain the absence Of any precious jewels of truth to save mankind I think I've found it And I think I love it Buried in the dirt Hiding from the light My letter was burnt but your words were wise For mystery and youth must surely collide These things I've seen bring tears to my eyes Live with me through the threads of your lives These things I've seen bring tears to my eyes Live with me through the threads of our lives, our lives |

We've finally found a way
To consume boredom everyday We've all become our personal gods We've all become so sad and lost So sad so sad so sad and lost A billion balconies facing the sun A billion faces turned to their screens The perfect answer to camouflage our screams A billion lies becoming the truth An ecstasy of the eye As wide as eternity tonight As wide as eternity tonight We found expression for our hate Without any kind of consequence Who needs patience anymore When all our pleasures virtual Pleasures pleasures pleasures virtual A billion balconies facing the sun A billion faces turned to their screens The perfect answer to camouflage our screams A billion lies becoming the truth An ecstasy of the eye As wide as eternity tonight As wide as eternity tonight |

I'm no longer preaching to the converted
That congregation has long ago deserted And we discovered was even more despair But we learned how to cope, we learnt now not to care And the sun will still keep rising Always deflecting, always disguising Was there ever another place Did we ever really exist? All we make is entertainment A sad indictment of what we're good at We're all part of the grand delusion We made so much and we let it all crumble To safeguard our rights to make us more "human" Oh this country is but an empty shell A clearing house for heaven, a clearing house for hell And the sun will still keep rising Always deflecting, always disguising Was there ever another place Did we ever really exist? All we make is entertainment It's so damn easy and inescapable "We're so post-modern, We're so post-everything" All we make is entertainment An end to hope and civilisation A simple way to seek perfection The insides of our nation have been exposed It only confirms what we already know Pointless jobs just lead to pointless lives Breaking up our bones, breaking up our minds |

Wipe those tears away
Keep as still as you can Hold your breath and dig deep And stop those trembling hands Make yourself pretty Just for one last time No one would ever know You ever left your prime The future has been here forever The future's still unclear whatever This place it left me A long long time ago But it still keeps me here It still keeps me close When i start to break free It calls me back again Like the Godfather Ⅲ I never can escape My future has been here forever The future's still unclear whatever When you can't shake off your yesterdays When you can't rewrite your histories Will you let some love break through the light Will you let someone come into your life |

The lines have all been blurred
To the point of no return The sickos and the bullies praise your name You then wrench their lives with pleasure and fame As corporate as a suit you won't wear As stupid as the jeans you tear As evil as the pretense you care God save us all from Satan's stare Oh, don't be evil, just be corporate And fool the world with your own importance Betray your tedium for the world to see Your own movie star and it's for free The lines have all been blurred To the point of no return With normal people living normal lives Normal things seen through normal eyes As corporate as the suit you won't wear As stupid as the jeans you tear As evil as the pretense you care God save us all from Satan's stare Oh, don't be evil, just be corporate And fool the world with your own importance Betray your tedium for the world to see Your own movie star and it's for free Oh, don't be evil, just be corporate And fool the world with your own importance Betray your tedium for the world to see Your own movie star and it's for free, it is for free The music's going, the sun is showing The printed word is all done and dusted Oh, don't be evil, just be corporate And fool the world with your own importance The music's going, the sun is showing Pretend technology made us equal Oh, don't be evil, just be corporate And fool the world with your own importance |
