Watch another day go drifting over
It really doesn't matter anymore 'Long as I keep slipping down my medicine Gonna be a superstar for sure You are superstar You are star You are superstar The world's alright with me Just for today The people down on Picton Street already are superstar You can see it subtle in their eyes The music of the traffic is a gentle symphony 'Long as you are by my side You are superstar You are star You are superstar You know you are You are, you are, you are Star Star Star And the world's alright with me Just for today Oh Thankyou for the coming up each morning Thankyou for the taking down each night Thankyou for the inside and the outside I thank you from the bottom of my heart From like the bottom of my heart You are superstar You are star You are superstar You know you are You are, you are, you are Star Star Star Star You are superstar |

I live a life alone
Inside a plastic hole Inside a cage of stones I dug myself this hole I'm a freak I'm a freak Oh ho I'm a freak Good Lord I'm a freak Stacked-up on platfrom shoes I tried so hard to be so cool I dyed my hair in Spain I look a mess and I feel the shame Of the freak I'm a freak Oh ho I'm a freak Good Lord I'm a freak * I walk the plastic streets Just like a monkey Just like a geek My scraping knuckles bleed I hear my Mummy crying out He's a freak I live a life alone And all my friends are gone It kind of turns me on I hate them one by one by one I'm a freak I'm a freak Oh ho I'm a freak Oh Lord I'm a freak * Repeat He's a freak |

Shut up
You're way down boring All you got are modern stories All about the money rolling And your crank possession holdings Back off You don't know me I don't care for modern talking You just don't wanna buy me baby And I think you're a cockroach for trying * Someday Someday soon Life's gonna catch up On you Someday soon ** Someday Someday soon It's all gonna crash down On you Someday soon But your money won't see you through *** Gonna lose it all Gonna lose it all It's coming soon Someday soon Hands off You don't impress me Neither do your jewels undress me Or your car to drive me home As your diamond studded clown Back off You don't get me Neither does your gold possess me You just don't wanna buy me baby Take me around on a lead * Repeat ** Repeat *** Repeat You're gonna lose it all Gonna lose it all It's coming soon Someday soon |

* God is looking down upon the shivering ones
Shooting up down on the Wellington Road And reaching out for their arms But we don't wanna know Down on the Wellington Road Where all tomorrow's peace of mind Is bought and sold ** Oh but he never gives up on you Oh no he never gives up on you No no he never gives up on you No no he never gives up on you Up on you Up on you Up on you Life's a little longer on the Wellington Road Grinding teeth down 'til the money goes cold We shake our fists at the sky 'Cos we already know Down on the Wellington road The only saviours left behind Are bought and sold ** Repeat Up on you Up on you Up on you Up on you * Repeat * Repeat Up on you Up on you Up on you Up on you La la la etc. He don't give up on you He don't give up on you He don't give up on you |

I didn't want to write this song
Because I love you and you've been my friend so long We were the same when we were young Living it two as one All through the scrapes and all the narrow escapes You pulled me through you made me feel like I was not insane We promised that we'd never change Holding out on the edge * Today - life's a different story today Sad and yet not sad in a way People never do stay the same And the runaway brothers have had their day Remember on your wedding day I must admit I had the strangest feeling then Outside the Church - we took some flak Both throwing up round the back But now when we meet up today It don't seem right that we just don't know what to say Not knowing what to do * Repeat You've got a job, I understand You've got a wife, I got the band I never thought I'd write this song I never thought that we could change so much - so long I won't forget you - oh my friend Here's holding out 'til the end * Repeat Whatever happened to the runaway brothers? Whatever happened to the runaway brothers? La la la etc. |

Rats are in the kitchen scratching
Whispering my name and laughing Edging up the hall into my bed Faces on the walls are screaming Drifting out across the ceiling Dropping off and falling in my head All alone They cut the phones But then again There's no-one left to ring There's gonna be no peace 'til the bones break through my skin Another night in Another night in I shiver within A slow hand-clap begins Another night in Another night in My skeleton is waiting in the wings Of a Skeleton grin Oh no ' Cos I don't know where he stops and I begin A hundred million bugs are crawling In and out of every opening Up and down and over me all night Looking through my old scrapbook I search in vain for a pleasant memory Tearing out my hair 'til it gets light All alone I'm heard to groan My epitaph "I regret everything" There's gonna be no sleep 'til the bones break through my skin Another night in Another night in I shiver within A slow hand-clap begins Another night in Another night in My skeleton is eager in the wings Of a Skeleton grin Oh no ' And I don't know where he stops and I begin It's just another night in Another night in I shiver within A slow hand-clap begins Another night in Another night in Woah my skeleton is waiting in the wing Of another night in Just another night in Woah another night in Watching the wildlife drift by on the outside Watching the movement on my bit of sky Watching my face disappear in the mirror All in the name of another night in Woah another night in Woah another night in Oh no no this skeleton thing Feeling the pain of another night in |

Mary Poppins killed a dream today
Locked it up and threw the key away It was a very old and dusty dream Everybody knows - There's no time for happiness today Got a date for lunch a PLASTIC TRAY Got a deal to sign her life away Got an early grave she's gotta make And we are all insane * Hold on Slow down You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round Turn on Turn round You know you're going nowhere If you keep on going round The merry-go-round Christopher Robin blew his friends away Wrapped 'em up and moved up Barnsley way Got a job he's milking PLASTIC TRAYS Got a line in filling early graves Round and round and round and round he goes Where he stops well no-one seems to know why They've forgotten just what he could be He's the same the same as you and me We are all insane * Repeat Go on Slow down You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round Turn on Turn round You know you're going nowhere If you keep on going round The merry-go-round La la la la etc. |

Why do you wait here alone? The lights are cold - the music's over Queenie All your dancing friends have flown Everybody's grown But you're still clinging to the old dreams Queenie A frightened child you won't let go You try so hard to fit them new clothes Queenie You try so hard it makes you old Christ, you look so old * Give yourself a little treat Give up these hopeless dreams Give yourself a little treat And set yourself free Give yourself a chance to see You're exactly what you're meant to be You're beautiful to me You're beautiful don't you see You little Queen You little Queen You little Queen You little Queen Whilst you pushed against the whole world Queenie You let your life all slip away You try so hard to push the clock back Queenie That you missed out on today Living yesterdays * Repeat Throwing all your love into another commotion Shooting off your mouth to keep the party in motion Acting out the role where you don't feel no emotion Why do you not see You're already beautiful Why don't you see You little Queen Why can't you see You little Queen Sha la la la la you little Queen Sha la la la la you little Queen Sha la la la la la you little Queen Sha la la la la you little Queen You little Queen You little Queen You little Queen |

Walking home at 7.30
Past the creatures life's forgotten She don't look nobody in the eye no more Queuing up her nose is bleeding Early morning papers screaming Don't look up dear News is out They've all gone crazy She's on fire She whispers suicide She's slow dissolving She's every song that ever made you lonely She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted eyes She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted coloured eyes There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out Staying in to kill a new day Burning letters from her Ma She lives with the splinters Throwing up to keep her weight down A butterfly goes by her window A whole new world cries out to greet her She's don't notice In the darkness of herold room She's on fire She walks a suicide You know she's holding That picture of the world exploding She's on fire All tangled up and wired She's always holding She's only ever going to leave you lonely She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted eyes She don't wanna be so cruel But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted coloured eyes Oh yeah No she don't mean to hurt you But she's dying right in front of you tonight Oh yeah Oh yeah There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out There's no love when you're all wasted out You're all wasted out You're all wasted out You're all wasted out |

I'm counting down the days now
'Til I will reach your side And cross this space that is between us See the angels in your eyes I miss you in the laughter of the river I miss you in the evening skies I miss you at the moment of my waking And when I dream I pray for wings to fly Got a lot of love to bring back this time Got a lot of love to bring back this time I'll love you more than this 'til I die And you make me alive You make me alive Feel the pain of all the days now Of all the days we spent apart I remember how I love to watch you sleeping I've kept your words all safe and warm and dry I wish that you were here to see the sunrise I wish that you were here to stop these nights When I whisper out your name into the silence How I wish how I pray for wings to fly Got a lot of love to bring back this time Got a lot of love to bring back to your side You know our love will make everything alright You know our love will make everything alright Everything alright Everything alright Everything alright Couldn't love you more than this is all I know Couldn't love you more than this all the angels told All the angels told All the angels told |

The very next time that you get me wrongWill be the very last time that I ask you alongI'm just to uptight to be waiting around I've taken more than enough to make up my mind Unemotional - I know A futureless peep show All shimmering but it's empty and slow Since I lost my feeling some time ago 20th century cold- My head's plugged in where the sun don't shineWhere there's no room for anybody else Waging chemical warfare against myself Just to get through the day You see I gotta hurry it away Unacceptable - I know I'm an idiot sideshow I'm .. (blah-blah-blah) And I lost my caring some time ago 20th century cold-My heart still beats but I'm cold Don't you feel it Don't you feel it As you breathe it Don't you believe it Don't you see it Can't you feel it Can't you feel it's coldIt's coldApproaching Catatonia It's a quarter to three I see myself reflected In the television screen Somewhere very far away I can hear myself scream And I get that same old feeling Get that same old feeling Get that same old feeling-20th century cold

In my sleep I heard her voice so clearly Whispering my name I thought that she was here Walked the streets Trying to leave her ghost behind me I saw her face, in everything - so clear In the city streets around me In the things I left behind me In the sky that does surround me Everywhere, she's all around me She's all around me Forget your dreams Forget the very nature of your dreams Has gone away She's living with the straights of yesterday Forget yourself Forget the very essence of yourself Has gone away Though remember this - She'll never see you through Waiting for someone to take me to Somewhere I won't leave behind me Somewhere I won't leave behind me to In my life I've lost what I held dearly Thrown it all away And there's nothing takes her place I pace the bars Trying to fill the hole inside me She tore away And there's nothing in her place In the city's filth around me In the things I left behind me In the sky that does surround me Everywhere, she's all around me She's all around me Forget your dreams Forget the very nature of your dreams Has gone away She's living in the blood of yesterday Forget yourself Forget the very essence of yourself Has gone away Remember this - She'll never see you through Waiting for some voice to take me to Somewhere I won't leave behind me Somewhere I won't leave behind me to Somewhere I won't leave behind me to Everywhere she's all around me Everywhere she's all around me Everywhere she's all around me Everywhere she's all around me Forget your dreams Forget the very essence of your dreams Has gone away But remember this - She'll never see you through She'll never, she'll never see you through

Called by the feeling that there must be something more To a place you've never ever been before Where noone goes Yet still you're not alone Yu wonder why As you look into the the sky The clatter-clatter-clatter of electric pylonsAre carrying chattering electric wires Like a spider's web Just above your head It's a spider's web just above your head It's the telephone dead on the internet FliesThe electric skys Sell your friends and Sell your mother You're not coming back forever Flies The electro-skys Of the new world It's the new world Meet the new world nobody can find Caught in the feeling that there must be something more Be a place you've never - ever seen before Where no-one knows Why can't you be alone You wonder why The answer's in the sky The clatter-clap-trap of electric wiring Is scattering stuttering electric lives Like a spider's web Just above your head It's a spider's web just above your head Signed the telephone dead on the internet FliesThe electric skys Kill your friends and Kill your mother You're not coming back forever FliesThe electro-skys Of this new world Meet the new worldGreet the new world nobody can find It's a spider's web Just above your head It's a spider's web Just above your head It's a spider's web Just above your head You FLIES! -

Calling out for someone to take this all awayCalling out for anyone to make it go away Try to kill the picture the flowers in her hairOr taking shots of anything so I don't have to careStaring at a paper cup The emptiness inside She's going high someday She's going high somedayLiving with a photograph is really not the same I've kept it in the suitcase where noone ever came Watching other insects as they feel around my walls They say that taking anything don't change a thing at all Stare again - the photograph The plastic is her mind She's going high someday She's going high someday Crawls up the walls yes she crawls up the walls-Staring at my body Christ! It isn't mine at allCrying out for someone to make it go awayTo take away this photograph so I can live againStaring at the plastic cups The emptiness inside She's going high someday She's going high someday- Crawls up the walls yes she crawls up the walls- Now I'm waiting for that day Yes, I'm waiting here that day Crawls up the walls yes she crawls up the walls-

I'll throw my stone life.......
These days I feel I've been left high and dry In a land where the sea don't touch the sky Where no moon Bring no tide Where no sail Can arrive For no ship can return her into mine I hope that where I'm going won't be long Because my heart has sunk Into a sea of black Because the end has come And now the end has sunk Into the sea of black So deep and slow I'll throw my stone life....... I will drift 'cross this sea With my wooden memory I will drift 'cross this sea until I die Hear no voice See no smile Feel no love By my side For no ship can return her back in time Remember where you're going won't be long And when your heart has sunk There is no coming back Because the end has come And now the end has sunk Into the sea of black I throw my stone of stone lives I 'll throw my stone life... ...into the sea of black These days I feel I've been left high and dry In this land where the feeling's just not right And no moon Bring no tide Where no sail Can arrive And no ship will return her into mine Remember where you're going won't be long.... |
