Colin Greenwood

Everything, everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

There are two colours in my head
There are two colours in my head
What is that you try to say?
What was that you tried to say?
Tried to say.. tried to say..
To say.. to say.. to say...

Everything, everything, everything..
Everything in its right place

Seen all good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so
Battered and
Brought to the ground
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends

When i'm like this how can you be smiling
Saying
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?

If you walk out the door
Will I see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends

When I'm like this how can you be smiling
saying
how can you be sure?
(I don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?

I don't want you
I don't want you anymore
I don't want you
I don't want you anymore

You can force it
but it will not come
You can taste it
but it will not form

You can crush it
but it's always here
You can crush it
but it's always near
Chasing you home saying
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
You can force it
but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone

You can walk it home
straight from school
You can kiss it
you can break all the rules

But still
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is everyone is broken
Everyone is everything is broken
Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget

Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now
when I need you
Alone on an aeroplane
Fall asleep on against
the window pane
My blood will thicken

I need to wash myself again
to hide all the dirt and pain
Cos I'd be scared
that there's nothing underneath
But who are my real friends
Have they all got the bends
Am I really sinking this low
My baby's got the bends oh no
We don't have any real friends
no no no
Just lying in the bar with
my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend
waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish I wish
I wish that something
would happen
Where go from here
The planet is a gunboat
in a sea of fear
And where are you
They brought in the CIA
the tanks and the whole marines
To blow me away
to blow me sky high
My baby's got the bends

We don't have any real friends
Just lying in the bar
with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend
waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish I wish
I wish that something
would

I wanna live breathe
I wanna be part of the human race
I wanna live breathe
I wanna be part of the human race
race race
race
Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now
when I need you

Two jumps in a week I bet you
think that's pretty clever
don't you boy
Flying on your motorcycle
watching all the ground
beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself
for recognition
Kill yourself
to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning
into something you are not
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation
You will be the one
who cannot talk
All your insides
fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing
you could still make love
They're the ones
who'll hate you
when you think you've got
the world all sussed out
They're the ones
who'll spit at you
You will be the one
screaming out
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

It's the best thing hat
you ever had
The best thing that
ou ever ever had
It's the best thing
hat you ever had
The best thing that
you ave had is gone away
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

A green plastic watering can
For a fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out
it wears her out
It wears her out
it wears her out

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns

He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out
it wears him out
It wears him out
wears

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
it wears me out
It wears me out
it wears me out
And if I could be
who you wanted
If I could be
who you wanted
All the time all the time

I don't wanna a be
krippled kracked
shoulders wrists knees and back
ground to dust and ash
crawling on all fours
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
Now i can't climb the stairs
pieces missing everywhere
prozak painkillersss
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
and i used to fly like Peter Pan
all the children flew
when itouched their hands
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
when you've got to feel it
in your bones

They love me like I was a brother
They protect me listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine
made me happy
Nice dream
nice dream Nice dream

I call up my friend
the good angel
But she's out
with her answerphone
She says that she would
love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all
Nice dream nice dream
Nice dream nice dream
Nice dream nice dream Nice dream
If you think
that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough
If you think
that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough

Nice dream nice dream
Nice dream nice dream

Cant get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts
you do it to yourself just you
you and no one else
you do it to yourself
you do it to yourself
Don't get my sympathy
hanging out the 15th floor
you've changed the locks 3 times
he still comes reeling
through the door
and soon he'll get to you
teach you how to get to
puresthell
You do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts
you do it to yourself just you
you and no one else
you do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

You do it to yourself

You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it
But it hurts like hell

My brain says I'm recieving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung

We're too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
My iron lung

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum

This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

Limb by limb tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof

Wax me mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof

was bullet proof

So pay the money and take a shot
Lead fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof

And bullet proof

And bullet proof

And bullet proof

I get home from work
and you're still standing
in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do
I know all the things
around your head
and what they do to you
What are we coming to
What are we gonna do
Blame it on the black star
Blame in on the falling sky
Blame in on the satellite
that beams me home
The trouble words
of a troubled mind
I try to understand
what is eating you
I try to stay awake
but it's 58 hours since that
I last slept with you
What are we coming to
I just don't know anymore
Blame it on the black star
Blame in on the falling sky
Blame in on the satellite
that beams me home

I get on the train
and I just stand
about now that
I don't think of you
I keep falling over
I keep passing out
when I see a face like you
What am I coming to
I'm gonna melt down
Blame it on the black star
Blame in on the falling sky
Blame in on the satellite
that beams me home

This is killing me
This is killing me

you bite through
the big wall bites back
you sit there and sulk
sit there and bawl
you are so pretty
when youre on your knees
disinfected
eager to please

sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've already gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

each time it comes
it eats me alive
i try to behave
but it eats me alive
so i declare
a holiday
fall asleep
to leave to moon
sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've already gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've already gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

Rows of houses
all bearing down on me
I can feel their
blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll
one day swallow whole

And fade out again
and fade out
This machine will not
communicate These thoughts
and the strain I am under
Be a world child form a circle
Before we all go under

And fade out again

and fade out again

Cracked eggs dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death
can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things
we'll one day swallow whole

And fade out again
and fade out again

lmmerse your soul in love
lmmerse your soul in love

If I get old
I will not give in
But if I do
Remind me of this

Remind me that
Once I was free
Once I was cool
Once I was me

And if I sat down
And crossed my arms
Hold me until
This song

Knock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take a chair
Start to talk shit

If I get old
Remind me of this
That night we kissed
And I really meant it

Whatever happens
If we're still speaking
Pick up the phone
Play me this song

go.
Disjointed we scare ourselves with all that we wanna be.
Just got paid and now you're going, how long should you be?
If I get scared, I just call you.
And I, miss your glow as I unsettle,
Oh I'll always feel, I'll always be.
right.

One, two, three, four.

So sell your skin tie, and come and live with me.
Leukemia, schizophrenia, polyethylene.
There is no significant risk to your health.
She used to be beautiful once as well.

Plastic bag, middle class, polyethylene.
Decaffeinate, unleaded, keep all surfaces clean.
If you don't believe in it, sell your soul.
If you don't get into it, no one will.
Oh...... Oh........

After years of waiting

Nothing came

As your life flashed before your eyes

You realize

I'm a reasonable man

get off, get off, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man

get off my case, get off my case

After years of waiting

After years of waiting

Nothing came

And you realize your looking, looking in the wrong place

I'm a reasonable man

get off my case, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man

get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man

get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

After years of waiting

I'm a reasonable man

get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man,

get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man,

get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man,

get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

i jumped in the river
and what did I see
black eyed angels swimming with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see

all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven
in a little row boat
there was nothing to fear
and nothing to doubt

i jumped in the river
black eyed angels swimming with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see
all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven

there was nothing to fear
and nothing to doubt
there was nothing to fear
and nothing to doubt
there was nothing to fear
and nothing to doubt

There are barn doors

And there are revolving doors

Doors in the rudders of big ships
And there are revolving doors

There are doors
that open by themselves

There are sliding doors
And there are secret doors

There are doors that lock
And doors that don't

There are doors
that let you in and out
But never open

And there are trapdoors

That you can't come back from

Come on, come on
You think you drive me crazy
Come on, come on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
Come on, come on
Holy roman empire
Come on if you think
Come on if you think
You can take us all on
You can take us all on

You and whose army?
You and your cronies

You forget so easily
You ought to know
You ought to know
Oh so sad
Oh so sad
Oh so sad
You ought to know
You ought to know
I'm so sad
I'm so sad
I'm so sad..

I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn
I saw a light coming on

I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think
Open up begin again

Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times
And never look back
Never look back

What would I do
What would I do
If I did not have you

Open up let me in

Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

I want you to know
He's not coming back

Look into my eyes
I'm not coming back

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog
They would have drowned you at birth

Look into my eyes
It's the only way you'll know
I'm telling the truth

So knives out
Cook him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

I want you to know
He's not coming back

He's bloated and frozen
Still there's no point in
letting it go to waste

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

The morning bell
The morning bell
Light another candle and
Release me
Release me

You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Howling down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Please
Release me
Release me

Where'd you park the car
Where'd you park the car
Clothes are on the lawn with the furniture
Now I might as well
I might as well

Sleepy jack the fire drill
Round and round and round

Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half

There are better things to talk about
Be constructive
Bear witness
We can use
Be constructive
With yer blues
Even when he turn the water blues
Even when you turn the water green

Why don't you quiet down
Why don't you quiet down
Why don't you quiet down
Why don't you quiet down

????
he never gos and he never stays
????
Better in times when I could stand back

All over the neighbors
Maybe if I can see out there
All over the clovers
All over the clovers
Let me out of here
Alloverallovelloverallover

(Why don't you quiet down)
(Why don't you quiet down)
(Why don't you quiet down)
(Why don't you quiet down)
we are the DOLLARS & CENTS
and the PoUNDS and Pence
the MARK and the YEN
We are going to crack your little souls
We are going to crack your little souls

we are the DOLLARS & CENTS
and the PoUNDS and Pence
and the PoUNDS and Pence
We are going to crack your little souls
We are going to crack your little souls

While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds

You feed me to the lions
a delicate balance

When this just
feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land

And this just
feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down
the muddy river

Once again, I'm in trouble with my old friend

She is papering the window panes

She is putting on a smile

Living in a glass house

Once again, packed like frozen food and battery hens

Think of all the starving millions

Don't talk politics and don't throw stones

Your royal highnesses

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat

Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat

But there's someone listening in.

Once again, we are hungry for a lynching

That's a strange mistake to make

You should turn the other cheek

Living in a glass house

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat

Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat

But there's someone listening in.

too hard on the breaks again
what if these breaks just give in?
what if they don't get out of the way?
what if there's someone overtaking?

i'm going out for a little drive
it could be the last time you see me alive
there could be an idiot on the road
the only kick in life is pumping his steel

**they wrap me up in the back of the trunk
packed with foam and blind drunk
they won't ever take me alive
cause they all drive killer cars

don't die on the motorway
the moon would freeze
the plants would die
i couldn't cope if you crashed today
all the things i forgot to say

i'm going out for a little drive
could be the last time you see me alive
what if the car loses contro
l what if there's someone overtaking?

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realised what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

*And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
but I don't know how

...that saves me

In my mind.
And nailed into my hands
All the time
Killing what I fed
And everything I touch turns to stone.
(all wrapped up in crinoline, all wrapped up in suger-coated)
And everything I touch turns to stone.
(all wrapped up in crinoline, all wrapped up in suger-coated)

I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out
And everything I touch turns to stone.
(all wrapped up in crinoline, all wrapped up in suger-coated)
And everything I touch turns to stone.
(all wrapped up in crinoline, all wrapped up in suger-coated)

rows of houses all bearing down on me
i can feel their blue hands touching me
all these things in all positions
all these things will one day take control

* and fade out again and fade out again

this machine will will not communicate
these thoughts and the strain i am under
be a world child form a circle
before we all go under

* Repeat

cracked eggs dead birds
scream as they fight for life
i can feel death can see it's beady eyes
all these things into frution
all these things we'll one day swallow whole

* Repeat

immerse your soul in love

im on a roll
im on a roll this time
i feel my luck could change

kill me sarah
kill me again with love
its gonna be a glorius day

pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
im your superhero

we are standing on the edge

the head of state has called me by name
but i dont have time for him
its gonna be a glorius day
i feel my luck could change

pull me out of aircrash
pull me out of the lake
im your superhero

we are standing on the edge
we are standing on the edge

Two jumps in a week,
I bet you think that's pretty clever
don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror,
you're turning into something you are not

* Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation,
you'll be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing
you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you when
you think you've got the
world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit on you,
you'll be the one
screaming out

* Repeat

Oh, it's the best thing that you ever had, the best thing
that
you ever, ever had.
It's the best thing that you ever had, the best thing you
have
had has gone away.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high,
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe

I will see you in the next life


Early version has a second verse:
Beautiful angel
Pulled apart at birth
Limbless and helpless
I can't even recognize you

I think you're crazy, maybe (x6)

I will see you in the next life

A green plastic watering can
For a fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns

He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time

I get home from work
and you're still standing
in your dressing gown,
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head
and what they do to you.
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?

Blame it on the black star,
Blame in on the falling sky,
Blame in on the satellite,
that beams me home.

The trouble words of a troubled mind,
I try to understand what is eating you.
I try to stay awake,
but it's 58 hours since that
I last slept with you.
What are we coming to?
I just don't know anymore

Blame it on the black star,
Blame in on the falling sky,
Blame in on the satellite,
that beams me home.

I get on the train
and I just stand about now that
I don't think of you.
I keep falling over,
I keep passing out,
when I see a face like you.
What am I coming to?
I'm gonna melt down.

Blame it on the black star,
Blame in on the falling sky,
Blame in on the satellite,
that beams me home

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

The breath of the morning,
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air.
I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing,
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement.

Up above, aliens hover
Making home movies for the folk back home.
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits,
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets.

They're all...
Uptight.

I wish that they'd swoop down, in a country lane,
Late at night when I'm driving.
Take me onboard their beautiful ship, show me the world as I'd love to see it.
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars, and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away, but I'd be alright.
Alright.

I'm just...
Uptight!

Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're a star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better

All the thing's you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
You bribed the company to come and see you honey

Been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When I'm not there

All the things you've got
You'll never need
All the things you've got
I pain and I bleed to please you

Been thinking about you

When you were here before couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel your skin makes me cry
you float like a feather in a beautiful world

I wish I was special
you're so very special

but I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
when i have control
I want perfect body
I want perfect soul

I want you to notice when I'm not around
you're so fucking special
I wish I was special

but, I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here

she..she's running out again
she's running out..she run.. run.. run..

whatever makes you happy
whatever you want

you're so fucking special
I wish I was special

but I'm a creep.. I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here..
I don't belong here...

can't get the stink off,
he's been hanging around for days.
comes like a comet,
suckered you but not your friends.
one day he'll get to you,
teach you how to be a holy cow.

don't get my sympathy hanging out the 15th floor.
you've changed the locks 3 times,
he still comes reeling through the door.
and soon he'll get to you,
teach you how to get to purest hell.

you do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts is
you do it to yourself just you,
you and no-one else
you do it to yourself.

I am gone
Everybody's waiting
And these fruit
Just a twist of poison
I won't be alone
When you're running in me
I can't stay
Like i'm somewhere always
I need more
A restless body cracks and rolls
I won't have the strength
When you're running in me

Limb by limb, tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day, every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof

Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof,
was bullet proof

So pay the money and take a shot
Lead-fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof
And bullet proof
And bullet proof
And bullet proof

To hard on the brakes again,
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get outta the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?

I'm going out on a little drive,
and it could be the last time I see you alive
There could be an idiot on the road,
The only kick in life is pumping that steel.
Lock me up in the back of the trunk,
packed with foam and blind drunk.

They won't ever catch me alive,
cause they all drive..

Don't die on the motorway,
The moon would freeze, the plants would die,
I couldn't cope if you crashed today,
All the things I forgot to say,

I'm going out on the little drive,
and it could be the last time I see you alive,
There could be an idiot on the road,
the only kick in life if pumping that steel,
Lock me up in the back of the trunk,
packed with foam and blind drunk.

They won't ever catch me alive,
cause they all drive...
Killer Cars.. yeah..
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, hey.. hey..

Wrap me up in the back of a trunk,
packed with foam and blind drunk.
They won't ever catch me alive,
cause they all drive...
Killer Cars...
They all drive... Killer Cars
They all driiiive....... Killer Cars

Oh, banana co.
We really love you and we need you
And oh, banana co.
We'd really love to believe you, but
Everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah

Oh, she said no go
She said she'd like to
She's seen you
But no, no-ho go
She says if you die then we all do
Everything's burning down
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah

And everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah

I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I
Don't have a choice

Anywhere I go
You are always there
Outside the car
Or in my hair

I think I've been here before
Yes I've been here before
The last time you locked
All the doors

And I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I
Don't have a choice

And yes I am
Yes I am

I think I've told you once
I think I needed advice
You were such a help
That's very nice

I think I've been here before
Yes I've been here before
But this time I kick
Down your door

Yes I am
Yes I am

In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut, I am born again.
In the neon sign, scrolling up and down
I am born again.

In an interstella burst.... I am back to save the uuuuuniverse.

In a deep deep sleep, of the innocent
I am born again.
I a fast german car, I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life.

In an interstella burst.... I am back to save the uuuuuniverse.
In an interstella burst.... I am back to save the uuuuuniverse.

All the time, all the time

I'm on a roll,
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change.

Kill me Sarah,
kill me again with love,
it's gonna be a glorious day.

Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
I'm your superhero,
we are standing on the edge.

The head of state has called for me by name
but I don't have time for him.
It's gonna be a glorious day!
I feel my luck could change.

Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
I'm your superhero,
we are standing on the edge.
We are standing on the edge

Karma Police


Karma Police
Arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzeslikeafridge
He's like a detuned radio.

Karma Police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo
Is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get..
when you mess with us.

Karma Police
I've given all that I can
It's not enough
I've given all that I can
But we're still on the payroll.

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get..
when you mess with us.

For a minute there...
I lost myself.. I lost myself
Phew for a minute there,
I lost myself.. I lost myself

Wake from your sleep, drying of your tears
Today we escape. We escape
Pack and get dressed before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don't loose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Sing us a song, a song to keep us warm
There, such a chil, such a chill

You can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
And now we are one in everlasting peace
* We hope that you choke, that you choke
* (repeat twice)

I want to
I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon this surface for the birds
The birds
The birds

You want me?
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

You want me?
Well come and break the door down
You want me?
Fucking come and break the door down
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready

Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it
But it hurts like hell

My brain says I'm recieving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung

We're too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum

This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK

The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

heart that's filled up like a
landfill a job that slowly
kills you bruises that won't heal

You look so tired happy
bring down the government
they don't they don't speak for us

I'll take a quiet life a
handshake of carbon monoxide
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises

silence, silence,
this is my final fake, my
final bellyache with
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
please

Sunshine, bring on out the
sunshine, bring it out and
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
please.

If i could be who you wanted
If i could be who you wanted all the time
All the time

I don't wanna be crippled and crakcs
Shoulders wrists knees and back
Ground to dust and ash
Crawling on all fours

When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got to feel it in your bones

Now I can't climb the stairs
Pieces missing everywhere
Prozak painkillers

When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got to feel it in your bones
And I used to fly like Peter Pan.....
All the children flew when I touched their hands....
When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got the feel it in your bones

please could you stop the noise i'm trying to get some rest
from all the unborn chickenvoices in my head
huh what's that

when i am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinions that are of no consequence at all

ambition makes you look very ugly

kicking squeeling gucci little piggy

I can feel their blue hands touching me

I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE

You are the sun and moon and stars are you,
and I could never run away from you.
You try at working out chaotic things,
and why should I believe myself not you?
It's like the world is going to end so soon,
and why should I believe myself?

You me and everything caught in the fire,
I can see me drowning, caught in the fire.
You me and everything caught in the fire,
and I can see me drowning, caught in the fire

I can't afford to breathe in this time
Nowhere to sit with out a gun in my hand
Look back up to the cathode ray

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off...

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I want to breathe, I want to grow
I say I want it, But I don't know how
I look, I bleed, I beg and pray

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off..

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

You can force it but it will not come.
You can taste it but it will not form.
You can crush it but it's always here.
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home saying everything is broken
Everyone is broken.

You can force it but it will stay stung.
You can crush it as dry as a bone.
You can walk it home straight from school.
You can kiss it
you can break all the rules
But still everything is broken,
Everyone is broken.

Why can't you forget?

Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me.
Everyday, everyhour, wish that I was..
was Bullet Proof

Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in.
You have turned me into this, just wish that it..
was Bullet Proof

So pay me money, and take a shot
Lead fill the hole in me.
I could burst a million bubbles, all surrogate..
& Bullet Proof (slowdown, slowdown, slowdown)
Bullet Proof (slowdown, slowdown, slowdown)

might be wrong

I could have sworn
I saw a light coming on

I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think

Open up, begin again

Let's go down the waterfall

Think about the good times

Never look back
Never look back

What would I do?
What would I do?

If I did not have you?

Open up and let me in

Let's go down the waterfall

Have ourselves a good time

It's nothing at all

Nothing at all
Nothing at all

The morning bell
The morning bell

Had a null encounter

Release me
Release me

You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Howling down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Please
Release me
Release me

Where'd you park the car
Where'd you park the car
Clothes are all alone with the furniture
Now I might as well

Sleepy jack the fire drill
Running around around around...

You never understand
I wanted to tell you but you never listened
You never understand

The lights are on but nobody's home
Everybody wants to be a

Everybody wants to be a singer
Walking walking walking...

The lights are on but nobody's at home
Everybody wants to be a
Everyone wants to be a friend
Nobody wants to be a singer
Walking walking walking...

While you make pretty speeches,
I'm being cut to shreds.
You feed me to the lions,
A delicate balance.

And this just feels like spinning plates.
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land.
And this just feels like spinning plates,
My body is floating down the muddy river.

Who's in a bunker?

To talk about
Be constructive
Bear witness
We can use
Be constructive with your blues
Even when it's only warnings
Even when you're talking war games

Why don't you quiet down? (x3)
Quiet down!

You don't live in a business world
You never go out and you never stay
We'll have goals in a liberal world
Living in times when I could stand it, babe
It's all over baby's crying, it's all over baby

All over the planet, so let me out of here

To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave
Don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile

Just don't leave
Don't leave

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave

I wrapped you inside my coat When they came to firebomb the house I didn't feel pain, 'cause no-one can touch me Now that I'm held in your spell A beautiful girl A beautiful girl Can turn your world into dust Sell me a car that goes Sell me a house that stands I never cared before, I never cared before I never cared before, before, before, before A beautiful girl A beautiful girl Can turn your world into dust A beautiful girl A beautiful girl Can turn your world into dust I stood in front of her face When the first bullet was shot

the easiest way to sleep at night is to carry on believing that i don't exist the easiest way to sell your soul is to carry on believing that we don't exist it must be hard with your head on backwards.

i am gone everybody's raging and these fruits they still taste of poison i won't be around when you really need me i can't sleep why can't someone hold me? i need warm my restless body cracks and moans i won't have the strength when you really need me

and I could never run away from you.

You try at working out chaotic things,
and why should I believe myself not you?

It's like the world is going to end so soon,
and why should I believe myself?

He's bitter and twisted
He knows what he wants
He wants to be loved and he wants to belong
He wants us to listen, he wants us to weep
And he was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak

But how do you?
How do you?
How do you?

He lives with his mother
But we show him respect
He's a dangerous bigot, but we always forget
And he's just like his daddy because he cheats on his
friends
And he steals and he bullies anyway that he can

But how do you?
How do you?
How do you?

And the wise man say I don't want to hear your voice
And the thin man say I don't want to hear your voice
And they're cursing me, and they won't let me be
And there's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

And the mother say we spit on your son some more
And the buildings say we spit on your face some more
And the feeling is that there's something wrong
Because I can't find the words and I can't find the songs

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

Dear Sir, I have a complaint
Can't remember what it is

It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway

Been thinking about you, your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one, and you're now a star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Shit I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
And what do you care when the other men are far far better

All the things you got
All the things you need
Who bought your cigarettes?
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?

Been thinking about you
So how can you sleep?
These people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what i know
And why should you care, when i'm not there

All the things you got
That you never need
All the things got
Are planning to bleed to please you

Been thinking about you

Destiny, destiny protect me from the world
Destiny, hold my hand protect me from the world
Here we are with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn
And if London burns I'll be standing on the beach with my
guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar
And they won't be anything anymore

Grow my hair, grow my hair
I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair
I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere
And if the world does turn
And if London burns I'll be standing on the beach with my
guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar
And they won't be anything anymore ?

Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
It's inevitable, inevitable, it's a soul destroyed
You're free until you drop
You're free until you've had enough
But you don't understand
You've no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord

Aeroplane
Do I mean what I mean?
It's inevitable, inevitable, oh aeroplane
A thousand miles an hour
And politics in power
That you don't understand
You've no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord

The answer to your prayers
We'll drop you anywhere
With no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord

I never wanted anything but this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died hard
Every time you're running out of here
Every time you're running get the fear

I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
You words surround me and I asphyxiate
And I burn all hate
Every time you're running out on me
Every time you're running I can see

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

The waters break
The waters run all over me
The waters break
The waters run
And this time you're gonna pay

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

I can't afford to breathe in this time
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to the cathode ray
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I wanna breathe, I wanna grow
I'd say I want it but I don't know how
I work, I bleed, I beg and I pray
But I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

Why?

Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn't me, it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there's nothing in this world will keep it down

Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

So many things that keep,?that keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now I'll be gutted like I've never been before

And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

If you give up on me now I'll be gutted like I've never been before
And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
