Your unpleasant family,
smashed up my car (perfectly uncalled for) Your unpleasant family, how vile they are (I crawled out of the wreckage on my knees) Tore up my flowers so what did we learn? (there I found regret amongst the trees) Snips of a life, we had in the garden, we tear up the flowers |

Tied - tied to a time When we knew that the sun would shine And you were all smiles And we could just talk for a while... Of where we would be when the future comes And how you would paint while I wrote my songs If I could find you And tell you about my life Or maybe just write And remind you of when we would dream... Of where we would be when the future comes And how you would paint while I wrote my songs Strange how you never become The person you see when you're young |

> So I got all these things, but so what?
In the end you can't take them with you You think you can save my soul? Well OK... Tell me, with all your conviction What happens now? Well I could be boarding an aircraft With a bomb concealed in somebody's briefcase And my body will spread through the heavens, across the sky And my ashes will fall through the cloudburst What happens now? What happens now? |

Out at the train tracks
I dream of escape But a song comes onto my iPod And I realize it's getting late And I can't take the staring And the sympathy And I don't like the questions "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" and "Do you wanna talk about it?" Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish And I'm trying to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years, or maybe a week Burn all your pictures, and cut out your face The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car Trying to forget even your name and the way that you look When you're sleeping Dreaming of this Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish |

Waiting... to be born again
Wanting... the saddest kind of pain Waiting for the day when I will crawl away Nothing is what I feel Waiting... for the drugs to make it real Waiting... for the day when I will crawl away Waiting... to be disciplined Aching... for your nails across my skin Waiting... for the day when I will crawl away |

Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed The hiss of the train at the railway head Always the summers are slipping away A 60 ton angel falls to the earth A pile of old metal a radiant blur Scars in the country the summer and her Always the summers are slipping away Find me a way for making it stay When I hear the engine pass I'm kissing you wide The hissing subsides I'm in luck When the evening reaches here You're tying me up I'm dying of love It's ok |

I was born in '67
the year of Sgt. Pepper and Are You Experienced. Into a suburb of heaven, yeah it should've been forever. It all seemed to make so much sense. But after a while you realize time flies. And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you. 'Cuz time flies. She said luck is what you make it you just reach out and take it. Now let's dance a while. She said nothing ever happens if you don't make it happen. And if you can't laugh and smile. But after a while you realize time flies. And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you. 'Cuz time flies. And laughing in the summer showers that's still the way I see you now. How does time break down with no marker, things slow down. A conference of the strange and your family is deranged. I could tell you what I'm thinking while we sit here drinking, But I'm not sure where to start. You see, there's something wrong here, I'm sorry if I'm not clear, Can you stop smoking your cigar? But after a while you realize time flies. And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you. 'Cuz time flies. And the coat you wore to Alton Towers Is still the way I see you now. |

A systematic killer
Returning from Madrid Murdered Mozart in his garden Mussolini ran and hid He was chosen by his elders Sitting on the shelf They passed his heart to Satan Who showered them with wealth A Purple Haze crawled on the lawn Where lonely angels played And Shakespeare wrote of Vietnam While a president decayed Hollow laughter from below Cracked the sky in two As Manson dance inside the flames And the yellow changed to blue Swinging from a length of rope Ruth Ellis blew a kiss Merlin spoke to Norma Jean And granted her a wish Mark Chapman stared at fantasy Bare wires burned his brain As Sergeant Pepper led the band Playing through the rain The third eye on the surface Opens up my mind Twin visions in production This long silence you will find |

A Caterpillar crawled to me one day and said
"Oh what the hell goes on inside your swollen head? I don't believe that you can see as much as I Now close your eyes and tell me what do you say?" "I watched nine cats dance on the moon A flamingo stalked into my room It bowed its head to me and knelt To reveal the cards it had dealt An ace, three jacks, two queens, four kings Then turned them into burning rings The flames jumped out and chased four mice Caught by their tails they turned to ice A cloud appeared outside my door And through the window saw four more And on the back of each cloud sat Two rainbow smiles in wizard's hats They threw five clocks down on my bed The chimes danced out on golden threads And turned to footprints on my wall Sequined tears began to fall" The caterpillar gasped at me and said "My god if that's what's going on inside your head You can see so much more than I I think it's time to turn into a butterfly." |

Artilleries of braking lights and bluish glow Ascending in a plumage of twisted steel Shattered glass and confetti dashed upon the wheel When a car crash gets you off you've lost your grip When a fuck is not enough you know you've slipped When the church is full it means you've just been had When the world has gone to seed you're so detached Got a feeling that I want you to be there Driving by on my way to somewhere else I fill my lungs with a noxious burning smell There is weed and grey concrete like this for miles Dead souls in my rear view mirror hitch a ride for a while I want to be loved |

And he put them in a shed He raised a proper family So he could tie them to a bed The creator had a mastertape But he left it in a cab I stared into the void tonight The best dream I ever had He worked himself into the ground And drove a spike into his head A voice said "Are you happy now ?

You must listen very carefully to what I have to say
There isn't much time, because You Know Who has consumed all the instruments For many eons now I have been trapped on this planet He is keeping me here against my will And sometimes when I press my ear up very close to the concrete I can hear his daughters sobbing with laughter Either I am blind, or I have been in darkness ever since the sun exploded four centuries ago A few hours ago, He Who Keeps Me Here visited me saying, "God, why do the millions worship you instead of I? Am I not more powerful, more forgiving and truly compassionate?" A black liquid was seeping uncontrollably from my mouth And all I could do was babble incomprehensibly About a dream I had many moons ago In it, a clock ticked constantly, maddening my senses That was all, but it lasted for many days Until each tick seemed like fragments of glass piercing my scales He Who Keeps Me Here tells me that one day I will return to earth And then I will seek my revenge |

Nothing like this
Felt in her kiss Cannot resist her Fell for her charm ? her arms I keep a photograph Give me a glimpse Let me come in Be there inside her Here it begins Here is the sin Something to lie about You think you're smart I think you art We agree on this It doesn't work Feeling like dirt Feeling like you don't care We get a room And in her gloom She lights a cigarette Clothes on the bed "Love me," she said I loose myself to her I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well Bury the heart-shaped shell Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car Okay what's next? After the sex What do we do now? Finding the time Drawing the line And never crossing it Gave her the hours Gave her the power Cannont erase her Gave her the truth Gave her the proof I gave her everything I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well Bury the heart-shaped shell (I had the feelings [inaudible]) Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell (I left the pieces where they fell) Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car On a drive out to the mall Hair blown in an open car Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down your arm Hair blown in an open car |

We go following sorrow to feel your
Blood spilling out of the reeds there Give me a sign I can breathe air Blood flowing out of the stream there (give me something new please, something I can love) |

Here is my car, my phone and my TV
I've got it all but you can see through me But am I here? It's kind of hard to tell I do a good impression of myself But what's normal now anyhow? Sullen and bored the kids stay And in this way they wish away each day Stoned in the mall the kids play And in this way they wish away each day Prescription drugs they help me through the day And that restraining order keeps me well at bay But what's normal now anyway? Sullen and bored the kids stay And in this way they wish away each day Stoned in the mall the kids play And in this way they wish away each day Wish I was old and a little sentimental You gotta see the waves, not the wine bottle. |

The butterfly sailed on the breeze
Past a field of barbed wire trees Where golden dragons chased around Pampered poppies on the ground Two silver trout sat way on high And watched a royal samurai Plant two black orchids in a box And strap it to a laughing fox A minstrel bought a crooked spoon He gave it to a blue baboon Who filled it full of virgin snow And watched it in the afterglow Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes Teaching sixteen kangaroos How to skip across a lake They found it hard to stay awake A pharaoh played a merry tune And watched nine cats dance on the moon I didn't know what all this meant I didn't know why I'd been sent. The Insignificance version of Nine Cats has the following additional verse at the end: I threw 5 clocks down on my bed The chimes danced out on golden threads And turned to footprints on my wall Sequined tears began to fall |

All the things that I needed
I wasted my chances I have found myself wanting When a mother and father Gave me their problems I accepted them all Nothing ever expected I was rejected But I came back for more And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky Where a boy rides on a bike and never smiles And my ashes fall over all the things we've said On a box of photographs under the bed I will stay in my own world Under the covers I will feel safe inside The kiss that will burn me Cure me of dreaming I was always returning And my ashes find a way beyond the fog And return to save the child that I forgot And my ashes fade among the things unseen And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales Never-ending clouds of rain, and distant sails... distant sails |

A tiny flame inside my head
A compromise I never planned Unravel out the finest trends And I'm looking at a blank page now Should have filled it up with words somehow I whispered something in her ear I'd bear my soul but she don't hear The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry Well maybe she remembers us collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry (Nothing rises from ? fingertips, heart it slips) I lay her gently on my clove She will leave me, yes I know And I'm looking at a blank page now Should have filled it up with words somehow The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry Well maybe she remembers us collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a mellotron It always seemed to make her cry (Nothing rises from ? fingertips, heart it slips) Well maybe she remembers us collecting space up in the sky (Nothing rises from ? fingertips, heart it slips) Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down |

The quickest album we ever made (in 3 months flat and within only a few months of the release of the previous one) and we all feel our best work to date. Although superficially it seems to be a continuation of "Stupid Dream" it is a much more intense work - possibly less immediate, but ultimately more rewarding. Lyrically I arrived at a point where I was no longer interested in writing about abstract concepts like war, religion, space...etc... These are very personal and emotionally raw songs. It took me a long time to have the confidence and experience to be able to write them and some of them are dripping with negative emotions (Hatesong and Feel So Low particularly). Feel So Low pleased me a lot as I resisted the temptation to refine the original stream of consciousness words and left the nerve ends dangling. Musically we wanted to bring back some of the experimental aspects that had been to some degree lost on "Stupid Dream". Richard and I worked on creating some unique keyboard sounds for the album - e.g. the "fairground" on "How is Your Life Today ?" and the "insects" at the end of "Russia On Ice". There was also an influence from industrial and metal music coming through (we'd all been listening to Nine Inch Nails "The Fragile") - for example part of the beauty of the guitar solo on Where We Would Be (my favourite solo of mine to date) comes from the fact that it was played relatively straight but then fed through so many distortion and lo-fi processes that it began to fizz and disintegrate. The riffing guitars on Russia On Ice are pure metal and one of the solos of Hatesong I call my "Korn solo" on account of the fact that the bottom strings on the guitar are tuned down so low that the notes can be bent several tones. On the other hand there is a whole set of songs where the pastoral sound of long-gone English summers exerts it's influence on me (not for the first time). In a song like "Winding Shot" there are shades of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Nick Drake, although the end result is hopefully pure Porcupine Tree. This effect is accentuated by the fact that many of the instruments and vocals on the album are much more up front and given less of a sheen than on "Stupid Dream" (where the "stadium" production is I think the weakest aspect). Organic is the word I like to use. As we had on "Stupid Dream" we expanded our musical colours to include things like banjo, hammered dulcimer, the string arrangements of Dave Gregory and several African and Morrocan instruments that Colin brought back from his travels. To date it's the only album we've made that I still rated highly by the time we'd finished it - even the B-sides and leftovers seemed too good not to be on an album, but we were determined to keep the album below the one hour mark. The only point of contention was the inclusion of the song "The Rest Will Flow". Some of the band didn't really want it on the record, but it sounded so much like possible single that it seemed perverse not to include it. Favourite tracks - "How is Your Life Today ?", "Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth..." and "Feel So Low" (plus most of the others to be honest). Steven Wilson Although it appears to be a continuation of sorts from "Stupid Dream" there are quite obvious differences as well. Certainly on the production side there is a more intense and upfront sound apparent. Also parts of the arrangements are stripped down to the bare essentials. Steven's lyrics became more personal and less ambiguous and so the arrangements by definition became more stripped down and more direct. Much of my keyboard experimenting took place on tracks like "Russia On Ice", "Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth...", "Feel so Low" and "4 Chords That Made a Million"", while other tracks didn't seem to need a great deal of keyboards. I'm not one for playing all over a track if I can't see a genuine need for it. For me this album has an honesty and emotion that places it above all the other Porcupine Tree albums, although I would also say that not every track is as strong as some individual tracks on past albums. My favourites are "Russia On Ice" and "Feel So Low". Richard Barbieri |

As the cheerless towns pass my window
I can see a washed out moon through the fog And then a voice inside my head breaks the analogue And says "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" I survived against the will of my twisted folk But in the deafness of my world the silence broke And said "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" "My David don't you worry This cold world is not for you So rest your head upon me I have strength to carry you" (Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you) "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul Come to us Lazarus It's time for you to go" |

If you fall asleep with me
You can dream and drowse The miuntes turn to hours We could climb a tree or two And watch the sun go down Upon our sleepy town After all the time I spent with you Summer went away And we just weren't the same It's just you and me alone Not grown ups but not kids You kissed me on the lips [instrumental] |

Jupiter Island is full of pleasures
Glowing gardens holding hidden treasures Luminous flowers of yellows and greens Glittering petals that have to be seen Here's your chance don't let it pass you by Take my hand and we'll fly Jupiter Island is surrounded by oceans Majestic ballerinas with graceful motions Magenta forests on a crimson sea The electric clouds ar as vivid as can be Scarlet moons in a domino sky Take my hand and we'll fly Come on let's fly to Jupiter Island Just take my hand and we'll fly Jupiter Island is full of mountains Ruby rivers and sapphire fountains Chessboard lawns bible black and white The pink and blue trees are incredibly bright An orange sunset painted on the sky Take my hand and we'll fly Jupiter Island is full of people But you can't see them unless you want to Lying in the hay on a hot sunny day Everyone's happy so no-one's gay Laughter from the children dances way on high Take my hand and we'll fly Jupiter Island is full of meadows Fertile pastures for growing rainbows Illuminated portraits from strange orchestrations Lost in a collage of its own creations Never a chance to wave goodbye Take my hand and we'll fly |
