I'm burning out the TV tubes,
It's three o'clock & I'm confused
Cause commitment is so complete,
It's burning little holes in me
I know that I might look a mess,
And she's so perfect in that Oxfam dress
She looks just like a beauty queen,
Shinning out in velveteen I'm delirious
You make it better You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away
I love it when she comes around,
She's a firework that never ends
A micro chip inside my brain,
I'm crawling on my knees again
It scares me the way I am, I'm buried in a sea of sand
Lying on a hand grenade,
Waiting for the world to shake I'm delirious
You make it better You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away
You make it better You just take the pain away
Delirious, I'm so delirious, delirious,
You make it better You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away
You make it better You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away
You make it better You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away

Reading magazines and counting sheep to
pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow's gonna
bring a smile home again
Images of palm tree's swaying in the wind
on South beach
Takes me back to better days,
Summer days the everglades in June
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again,
Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia

Flying high in golden skies,
I'm flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as I escape
in Cooper's Break
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again,
Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again,
Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again,
Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Turning off a switch inside me,
Leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses,
Passing over the Wye valley
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again,
Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again,
Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again,
Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again,
Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again,
Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia.

Left out in the sun to dry again,
Washed up on a shore line south of Spain
Gazing up with telescopic eyes,
Planetary life above the skies
Oh my God, she's my obsession,
my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Drifting on a boat in emerald seas,
Pulling on the strings inside of me
Tasting salt as waves dive over me,
Twisting on a rope of memories
Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes

If you could only see, That I'm sinking like a stone
The sea is getting colder, Every second as I go
It's like breathing underwater, But I just can't let you go
My obsession, she's my obsession, my obsession
Oh my God, she's my obsession,
my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moonOh my God,
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moonOh my God,
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes,

Sitting in today
watching traffic buzzing by
and faces closing in
A victim of regret
it glitters and it fadesaway
like silver turning grey
Washed it all away
waiting for this dreamto end
before it sucks me in
I'm climbing high
up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday

Crashing on the ground
the silence seems to suffocate
and bury me again
Waiting for a taste
of happiness to lift me free
and carry me away
I'm climbing high
up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream but I'm alive
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday

Lost another week
feeling like a leper in
a world of vanity
It's killing me today
addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug I need
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday

Office blocks, corner shops, traffic jams on every street,
The same old rush around
Obsolete, I'm a freak, In a show on Brighton beach,
As the snow comes down
Reality's kicking me, Knocking me right off my feet,
As the sky spins round
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
Laundry stops, by the lock, On a Sunday afternoon,
With all that fuss
Cantelowes skateboard shows, tennants Extra by a row
Of recycle bins
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red

Take a ride to Charing Cross,
Join the masses as they shop, Their lives away
29's the northern line, Heading back to lose our minds,
To break the chain
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes

Waking each day, No money no pay
Living in a box alone with his pain
Kissing the rain that's pouring again
Blaming the system from where we came
Trapped inside a fish eye lens
Trying to get out cause it won't change
Money doesn't mean that much to him
But maybe another bottle of gin
Here comes that radio man
He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah
Here comes that Radioman
Tune in you might hear him
Radioman
Living in the same old shoes
With every step the world comes through
Like a river that flows on down
Dragging him under to the sand
He rises up to another day
The people laugh, but they don't stay
They try to hide their guilt away
With a smile that says that its okay
Here comes the radio man
He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah
Here comes the Radioman
Tune in you might hear him
Radioman, the radioman
Somebody
somebody hear me
Lift off and take me away
Here comes the radioman he smiles but no one sees him
Here comes that radioman
Tune in you might hear him
Radioman, the radioman, radioman
the radioman, radioman

We queuing up the tills,
Wishing for our lives to change
Just a piece of something new,
A taste would keep us sane
Hypocrisy in every day,
Drills a hole deep in our brains
Searching for a little hope, A rainbow when it rains
Sitting on an empty bench,
Got these nails dug in my skin
Like a leopard with his kill,
We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out
Stepping on a treadmill wheel,
You must know how that can feel
Blows a fuse inside our minds,
Watch the data as it wipes
Taste the bullshit on a plate,
We just piss our lives away
Get the hell out while you can,
We going under, sinking in
We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out
We're going down, yes we're going down,
we're going down∼.
Taste a new amphetamine,
Alcohol has sucked us in
Introverted in our ways,
Trapped inside this plastic skin
Now its rears it's ugly self,
Feeds us full of selfish doubt
We've got to keep ourselves afloat,
Going under, get me out
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out.

Falling down, reaching out, For someone to come down
Oblivious to all of us, The child that grows inside
Seventeen without a care, She's taking another ride
A sense of peace she's waving back,
To faces carved in stone
Tinsel town, here in tinsel town, It's pulled you down
Life in tinsel town,

Overthrown, Relinquished all
Life breeds all around, A fun fair trip a carousel
She's trying to hang on, Here in Tinsel town
Life in tinsel town, It's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town, I think she might make it
She has the will to go on,
She's turning back pages as the world steps on
Here in tinsel town, Life in tinsel town
Its pulled you down, Stuck in tinsel town
Alone, Alone, Alone, So Alone, Here in Tinsel town
Life in tinsel town.

The words we say,
Old flowers fade away
Remember yesterday,
Wish it would bloom again
Apathy and pain,
Here comes the Autumn rain
Old apologies scattered
in the wings of fate
Cause today it all looks black and white,
Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when its
Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen, Evergreen
Down on my knees,
Crawling though the streets again
Surrendered to my needs,
So I can breathe the air
You're my evergreen,
Regents Park in spring
It takes me to a place,
Where I can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white,
Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains

I just want some place
where I can breathe without this bitter taste
Cause today it all looks black and white,
Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's grey
It all looks black and white today
You're my evergreen, Regents Park in spring
It takes me to a place, Where I can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white,
Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
Evergreen, Evergreen, Evergreen

Trying hard to face another day
No more left to give, nothing left to bring
Melting in the sun, breathing in the day
Falling into love, and climbing out again
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me dry
Reaching out beneath the sea of pain
Riding high on waves of hope again
Chipping as the storm face cracks away
Crying out again as my bones break
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me dry
Yeah...
Oooh... (Love has left me dry)
What if every minute like a year?
What if we could save ourselves from this?
Life is such a bitch and it gets worse
Fading like a rope around your neck
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me dry
Oooh... (Love has left me dry)
Love has left me dry
Oooh...
The river's running dry again...

Remember yesterday Driving down the M4
The sun lit up your face Playing all the tunes
Feeling like a child again The dream has been erased
I feel much better anyhow Until I see that black cloud
I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Stop looking in
Hiding out away Keeping your mind inside a box
Where knowone else can take Smiling all the way
Holding back a thousand lies But that was yesterday
I love it when she comes around
Until I see that black cloud
I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Got a hole in my head Got this song in my head
Waiting for the sun to come around
Take another smoke I thought you said you'd given up
And does you're mother know Take another rest
Holding out my hand again I hope that we're still friends
(I gotta, I gotta, I gotta...)
I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in

20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 still alive
It's dragging me under, Don't think I'll recover
A stone in the water, A nail in my shoulder
Just put it together, You think you're so clever
Can we make it better, Climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
Twenty years older, The city gets colder
Still reaching for cover, We live and we suffer
Just put it together, If you think you're so clever
Can you make it better, Pull the pieces together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart

40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, still alive
It's dragging me under, Don't think I'll recover
But we'll make it better, Climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart

Staring at Paper faces,
Expressions like empty pages, Day after day
Waiting for the lights to change now,,
Reaching for a cloud to come down,
And cover me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Waiting for the world to change,
Dissolution takes a bit off, And swallows me
Looking for a way to get out,
Wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
If you can learn to be yourself, Then that's okay
If you can find a reason now, Don't drift away
Walking down streets to nowhere,
Stepping on feet with no cares,
Losing my self
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drownCan't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Slide away, slide away

Guess I'm stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves
on the ground
As I stare at the trees
I see one fall down on my hand
As I start to explore
I can't ignore a man
He turns his head around
His face was all worn by the sun
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cos I won't be home
Today

Drifting down a road
Losing myself in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold
Sat in a boat on a lake
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cos I won't be home
Today
Climbing up trying my best
As I sink
Lying back on the floor
Reaching up high into space
See myself in a glass
I'm counting the lines on my face
Again
Counting the lines on my face
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cos I won't be home
Today
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
Today
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cos I won't be home
Today

There's a message on my bed
A new engraving in my overloading head
Feel the walls are caving in
As the wire cuts into my butter skin
Yeah.....Overload.
Love's the antidote we need
Love's the antidote we really need
When you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in.

I thought I shot my conscience dead
But he's come back again to break my china head
Blown a hole right through my dream
Brought me back to earth in a rocket made for one
Yeah.....Overload.
Love's the antidote we need
It's the antidote we really need
When you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in
Cause when you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in
Don't fall back in

He's got a brand new car Looks like a Jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player (player, player, player...)
But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon (lemon, lemon, lemon...)
But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

He's got a brand new car

So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

Sitting on a corner street
Children playing at my feet
See the smiles on ice cream faces
Feel myself begin to sink
As the wind blows through my skin
Leaves me open to temptation
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase, together
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing my down, piece by piece
And you can't see
That's it's like a disease
Killing me now, it's so hard to breathe
Sucking back a cigarette
Thinking about new regrets
Trying to be someone you'd like to be
Passing faces on the road
Where the hell can we still go?
Leaves us open to temptation
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase, together
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing my down, piece by piece
And you can't see
That's it's like a disease
Killing me now, it's so hard to breathe
It's so hard to breathe
But it's worth fighting for
It's still worth fighting for
It's worth fighting for
Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like flowers in this vase, together
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing my down, piece by piece
And you can't see
That's it's like a disease
It's killing me now, it's so hard to breathe
You and me, it's pulling me down
Tearing me down, piece by piece
And you can't see, that it's like a disease
It's killing me now, it's so hard to breathe

I've got a friend, her name is Laura
We took a holiday, seven sweet days in Majorca
We took a plane, through to southern Spain
To see the ocean wave's blue
We sat and watched the moon
As crickets sung back cover tunes
Way back in May
Seven days in the sun yeah
She's my heaven
She's a spark
Feels like heaven
So light me up

She's got this friend, his name is Paula
He likes to cross dress every friday night in clothes from Prada
We took a train, left behind the rain
To see the summer sunset glow
But now she's not around
I'm hanging on with broken hands
Way for the clouds
Seven days in the sun
Seven days in the sun sun
She's my heaven
She's a spark
Feels like heaven
So light me up
You really light me up
You really
Staring through the crowd
It's pulling me underground
And who's gonna dig me out?

We used to take a walk on velvet sands across the beach
We used to build a fire, and stare into the rising heat
You used to set me free, lift me from the concrete sea
Seven days in the sun
She's my heaven
She's a spark
Feels like heaven
So light me up
You really light me up
You blow my mind

You're just a face in the crowd
A tiny hole in the cloud
You're trying to find your way in
To let your soul shine back out
We're just a twist in a seam
A splash of paint on a screen
We're making all kinds of shapes
Somehow we can straighten out the bends
This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, we can live it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
Our place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
We can't rewind
Do you think we can change?
A different color and shade
I guess a new kind of thing
Somehow we can straighten out the bends
This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
A place to shine now, we can do it anyway
Oh yes, we can do it our way then
Stop taking me for a fool now
Yeah, I've got this feeling inside me
But I guess you knew
We can work it out
We can find some place new
We can't rewind
We can't rewind
You're just a face in the crowd
A tiny hole in a cloud

This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
This is our time, we can't rewind
Our place to shine out, we can do it anyway
This is our time, to feel sublime
A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
